now, to paraphrase the late donald rumsfeld we have the nissan and the unknowns. the unknowns is what does this mean for longer term economic growth in the united states? how will this affect trade? what is it going to do to the flows of migration, if you will, but the nissan, which we know about today is that this is going to clobber travel. we've seen it through various countries already, introducing restrictions. one would expect those restrictions to grow. hence, look at the screen. there you have the covid stocks, if you like airbnb up 4%. carnival cruise down 13% and all the major airlines particularly those with large international route structures like delta and america so, alex, the short answer is yes, this is to be expected. this will continue, and until we get visibility, i can't see a reason for it not. >> all right. investors and traders watching that news out of the w.h.o. in south africa certainly as close as we are. richard, we know you'll continue to watch that closely. richard quest, thank you very much. joining me now to talk about many of the

what ended up happening, obama comes into power, let's the cia off the hook, let's donald rumsfeld another torture architects off the hook, a radically expend some of the worst aspects of the so-called war on terror and uses his credibility aa constitutional law scholar, the first black president, as a sort of guy perceived as being a different kind of politician to push the u.s. imperial agenda on a militarist level beyond what john mccain would have done because he got the democratic party to support it. juan: jeremy, i want to ask you, are there any discernible differences you can tell in the approaches to this imperial policy of the united states between the recent democratic presidents -- talking about clinton, obama, biden -- and the republican ones, bush and trump? you see anything in terms of -- are there any different approaches from them in terms of imperial rule? >> yeah, let's start with what i think is the most obvious issue i think you can say it is a good thing that joe biden -- the withdrawal from afghanistan. certainly, there are serious questions about the tactical withdr

yet, 20 years after that statement -- a rather profound statement by secretary of defense donald rumsfeld, the pentagon has still not passed a clean audit despite the fact that the pentagon controls assets in excess of $3.1 trillion or roughly 78% of what the entire federal government owns. just this week, the pentagon announced it will fail its fourth consecutive financial audit in a row. and that, madam president, is why i have introduced an amendment with senator grassley that would require the pentagon to pass a clean audit this year. if it fails to do so, 1% of its budget would be returned to the treasury each year until it obtains a clean audit operation. i think 30 years is maybe just enough time to make that demand. i think that at this moment in american history it is appropriate for the american people and for my colleagues here in the senate, to remember what former president -- former republican president dwight d. eisenhower said in 1953 when he was president, and as we all recall, dwight d. eisenhower was a four-star general, not a politician, who led the allied forces to vi

has donald trump learned from his experience? what he hit the ground running with a team he wasn't able to do that before, no one could blame him. how big would the margin in the house and senate accompany him and so i don't know the answer but i don't think there's anybody on the republican side thatat can go to michigan or wisconsin and get 40,000 people out and appeal to the constituency,tu and yet i think they have to do that if they are going to win. i am neutral. if i were to criticize him very quickly, we have admitted there were mediocre candidates in georgia and there were charismatic socialists. everybody knew that they mightn win in georgia. either trump didn't believe it or the party didn't believe it but had he gone down there and not talked about the prior election but said whatever happened to me, forget about it. go out to vote, trust and vote. we wouldn't be in this situation now where connolly harris decides we will have an electoral college or filibuster. and then had he said i am going to campaign like i never
