The infrastructures not built, so part of what we have to do is to find ways to integrate africa. Much of that is a question of infrastructure, some of it has to do with coordinating regulatory systems between countries. Were embarking on some experiments starting in east africa to see if we can get uganda, kenya, tanzania see, you guys know all of them. [laughter] were starting to work with these countries to see can we get some blocs of effective trading taking place . Because, look, obviously theres going to be a certain market for certain goods. I mentioned flowers from kenya. The market, thats primarily going to be in some of the wealthier countries. But there are going to be some goods that its going to be much easier to sell if im a kenyan businessman, its going to be easier for me to sell my goods as a tans any january or ugandan than it is for me to try to compete with nike or, you know, you know, apple in the United States. Right . And historically, when you look at how trade
Whats the cost of this . Its very hard to measure but i can tell you that its not cheaper for corporations to raise capital in the stock job t how to take money for middleclass people and transfer it themselves rich people. So what does that do . And compromises our educational system. Some people on wall street. It perverts their ambition and it creates this is a moral problem. Its a technic this problem and what you get in the end is what we have right now, which is a Financial System that nobody trusts, that can persuade to be trusted because they watch what they did in a financial crisis and whose interest are completely out of line. We dont want that relationship. Society cant function if the interest underlined because then what you get is people with money influencing it, influencing the political process, the direction of regulation and you get to that cant collaborate and thats the problem we are facing. This is a microcosm of the problem so yes we are only losing a penny but
Do our first round of 30minute questioning, each senator will have 30 minutes to interact with judge barrett, then we will follow up with a second round of 20 minutes, thats what weve been doing in the committee since ive been here. I know we wont get it all done today but the goal is to get through the first 30minute period today, then come back wednesday and finish up, then we will go on about our business. So i will try to i will make sure i stay within 30 minutes for sure and if i can shorten it up i will. So lets get to it. You can start the clock. So you can relax a bit here, judge, and take your mask off. So yesterday we had a lot of discussion about the Affordable Health care act. What im going to try to do very briefly this morning is to demonstrate the difference between politics and judging. All of my colleagues on the other side had very emotional pleas about obamacare, charts of people with preexisting conditions. I want to give you my side of the story about obamacare. No
Christian holmes. What more can you tell us about what this means . There are four members, right, and so one republican member has expressed his or her intentions . Thats right. So, essentially the board of canvassers is four people. Two democrats and two republicans. And this is really seen as a formality, to certify the results of the election. But that is not the case this year. This year, of course, as we have seen the Trump Campaign continues to challenge as well as michigan republicans and the rnc all challenging the results in the state of michigan, which joe biden won. So, essentially heres what we have learned. A republican congressman, who has spoken to one of the republicans on the board of canvassers, says last week his intention was to vote against certified the election. Is that means at least one person voting against it we have two democrats who we believe will vote for certification. That means one last republican, thats the question, what will that person do .

Hello again, everyone. Thank you for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. We begin with this country facing an unprecedented surge in coronavirus cases as americans prepare for the thanksgiving holiday. The number of infections is quickly closing in on 12 million. Friday saw the highest day of new cases to date. More than 195,000. And more than 80,000 americans are in the hospital heading into the thanksgiving holiday week. America struggles.

And today, skipping a virtual g20 summit session on the pandemic to play golf. This as weve also learned the virus has once again infiltrated the president s inner circle. President trumps son, don junior, and the son of trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani both revealing they have tested positive for covid. That news now sidelining giuliani from the president s baseless voter fraud case. He is now selfisolating. Meanwhile
