Is there any precedent for these unpresident ial acts . Almost 74 million votes. I have a great panel of historians to discuss that, and the legacy of trumps term in office. An eyeopening discovery that may save your life one day. A way to edit the genetic code itself. A newly minted Nobel Laureate tells me about the promise of crispr. But first, heres my take. More than 150 million americans made their own personal decisions when they voted in this years election, but it is now the unenviable job of commentators to explain the meaning of those choices. At the broadest level its fair to say that the vote was a repudiation of donald trump. President s rarely lose their bids for reelection. Only five in the last 125 years and trump has won as few electoral votes as his nemesis, hillary clinton, did last time and he lost the popular vote by a larger margin than when jimmy carter defeated gerald ford in the wake of watergate. And yet its obvious that the country remains deeply divided. Aft
40-year high, is a recession next and how bad will it be? i asked about the man that warned of today s inflation problem, larry summers. which country might president putin target next? some believe he has eyes on moldova. why? find out in my conversation with that country s prime minister. but first, here is my take. it was getting hotter. so opens the ministry for the future, the disturbing novel by kim stanley robinson, the opening chapter set in india s largest state depicts a heat wave that kills millions across the subcontinent and galvanize people to radical action. the heat waves we re experiencing are going to get worse. that of course, will have dire consequences. more likely than mass death is mass migration. as bill gates points out, the area around the equator is soon going to be too hot for people to work outdoors. that could mean a collapse in farming, the most common occupation in these regions. stressed by heat, lack of water and no jobs, millions of peop
systematically being replaced by other races. he s not alone. why are these demographic fears going mainstream in countries around the globe? i ll talk to two experts. but, first, here s my take. president biden says that combating inflation is his top domestic priority. but he certainly isn t acting that way. he has in plain sight several members that would reduce inflation significantly, and yet appears hesitant to do them. as many distinguished economists have noted, the repeal of most or all of donald trump s tariffs would be the single most effective way of reducing inflation 2349 near future. as a reminder, a tariff is a tax on goods paid by the american consumer who buys those goods. it is by definition inflationary. it raises the price of the good like an imported car. but it causes even more inflation than that because it raises the price of the domestically made equivalent good as well. if a mazda sells for more, ford and general motors also raise prices on thei

And now for the last look. for all of putin s outlandish claims of wanting to de-nazi phi ukraine, his real ames have been evident from the start. turn rg the country into a puppet state and restoring some of the lost glory of the soviet empire. but this war has shown how little moscow has actually gotten from cultivating its own sphere of influence since the soviet union collapsed. after the cold war, most of the former communist states in europe took a fiercely anti-russian stance and joined nato or the european union. other countries in central asia, for example, stayed in moscow s orbit. in 1992, they formed the collective security treaty organization or cfto, russia s counterpart to nato. current members are armenia,
