trump to be fined $10,000 for every day that he refuses to turn over documents to her office. the new york times reporter that won a pulitzer prize on her reporting of trump tax schemes joins us. and the warning could not be clearer. we are at the point of no return, so why aren t we doing anything about it? t? arrel. no, no, no. they re both invested. in green energy. and also each other. digital tools so impressive, you just can t stop. what would you like the power to do? we believe there s an innovator in all of us.
2021. you point out in the articles that were put out by your group that you sort of are frustrated we don t have a modern data infrastructure. a lot of us are frustrated we don t. why aren t we doing better surveillance? we ve been doing this two full years now. why are we always saying this study done in israel and this one in the u.k., why aren t we doing real surveillance with the billions in our health agencies? this is an important point. we have to do better here. make no mistake about that we do. the money that we talked about bought us the new vaccines. i give credit to the previous and the current administration with what we ve done with the vaccines. i wouldn t want to be in china and russia where the vaccines that they have don t work against omicron. ours work. so in a sense, that s a success there. in terms of building the infrastructure or very simple
folks who are waiting to get tested. a lot of folks can t even get a test. i think a lot of people are scratching their heads and they re wondering one year into this administration, why aren t we doing better in the fight against covid? so let me start with saying that people are rightly frustrated with where we are. we re frustrated. we re all frustrated. i walked in here wearing a mask. none of us like to wear masks. right? but i think it s a mistake, and it would be a mistake to suggest that we ve not seen great progress. if you think back to march of 2020, we were all wiping down the boxes that we got if we ordered things online. there was no vaccine. we didn t know how this thing was transmitted. we didn t know how to deal with it in terms of what possible cures there would be. now we have a vaccine. it s proved to be effective and boosters. now we have our children pack in school. 95% of schools are back open.
wow. what a profound statement from our vice president. that s the kind of quote that engraved in a plaque and hung on the walls of the capitol. she didn t answer the question. but she did at least provide us with a timeless quote. so i will answer the question for her. it s clear that the biden administration s covid strategy is failing. but kamala harris doesn t see it that way. in her world, they are making progress. i think a lot of people are scratching their heads and they are wondering one year into this administration, why aren t we doing better in the fight against covid? i think it s a mistake and it would be a mistake to suggest that we have not seen great progress. if you think back to march of 2020, we were all wiping down the boxes that we got if we ordered things online, there was no vaccine. now we have a vaccine, which has proved to be effective and boosters. now we have our children back in
i mean, this idea of doing, if you like, a reverse kissinger and perhaps pulling russia away from china because china is now the bigger threat is an idea that does the rounds and think tanks you will have heard it talked about, but it s not as simple as that because for the moment these two countries do have shared interests. what is the case, however, is i think that in the long run you clearly can identify divergent interests and actually say china is the rising power, its economy is much, much larger than that of russia, its population is ten times that of russia and even potentially in the future there could be territorial tensions between russia and china. a lot of modern day ruia was once in china, you know, in the 19th century and the russians i think are anxious that all of their energy resources, most of them are in the east, which is very underpopulated, china is very, you know, short of energy. so you could see maybe in a decade s time potential tensions between the two coun
