Okay, good afternoon for everyone. It's a pleasure to stay here and Aero Python and have to turn it in to share our experience and government of the state of the Goyas with the pandemic and how digital transformation help us to give information, to give for the society a better public policies in this difficult period, yeah? So today we discuss about the COVID-19 and the impact of the demand for this service in our channels here in the state. So we have a huge problem. So COVID-19 increased the demand for complaints and our channels of the embossments here and the government of the states. So the people stay very hungry. So here in Brazil, we have a many loss about social distance and people have doubts about what's need to be, what's need to stay open or need to stay closed, what service can be continue working or not continue working. So we have this idea and these doubts impact in our channels of the attendances by this. So we don't have infrastructure. We don't have people to support these. So if one artificial intelligence we can improve, we can give support for the sentences to give a good attendance for them for each demand that the people want. So our main object is how to apply machine learning to identify interactions profile in the business channel and the state of the guys and give support and the specific support for everyone. So for this, before that we apply codes about machine learning, codes about Python, codes about a specific model, we need to identify and understand the problem. So first it's we need to understand and analyze how the population, the city's interaction with our channels. After we, in the next step, we build a descriptive analysis for these interactions. So in that other step, we build a text analysis and use a clustering techniques to identify personas, to identify ideas, to give support. So we, with this personas, we have the opportunity to build protocols, to build a recommendation to give a specific attendance. So this is our peak. So in the pandemic, we have peak, we have curves and here in the state of the guys, we have peaks and we have curves too. So it's the normal peak and the normal wave of the demand for our channels to complain. After the measures of the social distance we increase for this demand. So we don't have the infrastructure, we don't have attendance in the call center to support this increase of the demand. So we need to build them specifically to response for these problems. So with our artificial intelligence, with machine learning, we can give a good response for this. To improve our channels and to improve the interactions, we build a text analysis with artificial model. So it's our simple frame of the interaction. So we have the manifestations, we apply NLP, we apply a k-mean clusters to identify this persona, we apply a text model classifications to identify these personas, we deploy off these models in a web app and we build a data visualization to give, to take the better decision in the moment that we want. So for these infrastructures of this model we use TF-EDF model. TF-EDF model, it's the basic model when you discuss about text analysis, we consider the term, frequency in the entire document of the text that we consider. We use a k-mean clusters to identify the subjects of the interest and we have a big picture of these interactions and the big picture of these analysis. Of course, this model is in Portuguese, this tech cloud is in Portuguese, but we have opportunity to identify some strong words like employees, like companies, like the district, like the service, like the other companies, like the government. So we have a big picture of this idea. And we have a logic in the background of these interactions. We have common synthesis that complain about one company. We have the employee that complain about a service that working in some moments, the servers didn't work in this moment and we have complaints about that the activity need to be working or not. So it's the main logic in these interactions. And after, we have tags for the cluster. So we have a cluster of the interactions that it's running activity and employee agglomeration in a specific service. We have synthesis that complain about open service. We have that employee that request about protection. We have servers of the internment that open. We have closed door companies that is still working besides the decrees. We have declaration stores that's open. We have open bars that work. This is important because we don't have energy, we don't have power, we don't have infrastructures to attendants, everyone. So these personas give for us the idea that we need to focus our energy and a specific service. Like, okay, open bar, it's not a service that we don't agree that open bar did work. So we act in a specific the service here. So we have a cluster in that, we have operation, activity and employee agglomeration and we have specific ideas that was reported here. So we have work constructions, we have universities, we have AT companies and we have a specific idea. For example, these specific service, this is specific store here in our districts have made them more 20 requests and one hour. So we have unbued protocol, specific protocols for each one, these clusters interaction. So here we have a specific cloud for these ideas. So we have strong words, so employees, we have companies and we build a nice specific model to understand how this word was related. So the word employee and it's very close to risk, to put these workers in risk, to put these clients in risk and we put these workers to work in risk. We have sentences that complain about open service. So we have many doubts. Many of the service, it's allowed to open but the citizens have doubt about this. So we resolve and solve these with specific protocol and specific ideas. So we have administrative service, park, car wash, we have hotels and motels. We don't know if the service need to be working. So we have a specific word count. When you specifically can see the word working, it's very strong and working normally and how it's related about the idea. So I hope that you can see my Google collapse. And the idea here, it's to try to show how we build into this model and details. We use any specific libraries. We use an LT key, use JC when we use another libraries. This is our dataset of the operation system. So we have a protocol, we have manifestation, we have local effect and we analyze in this specific here, manifestation that it's the text and the message that the citizens want to the government acting for doubts or other things. So we process this text. So we analyze, for example, a Brigham model and give a good insights for us. We have it to continue to identify specific service. So we have a commerce of, to say the ice cream, for example, that is still working. We have the specific words that was related. We have this, our word cloud about this topics and we start to process this text to understand how the word or the specific word interacts. So for example, the word working, it's very related with the company is still working. The company is still open. The company is still working normally. So we have the opportunity to understand these interactions. So here that I show for you in the slide, we import the TF and EDF vectorize. We build and normalize and create a vector of this text. So we take this text here of the manifestation. So that's the text that the people typing and transform these in a vector with this library. After these, we have the opportunity to apply a technique clusters to identify interest and an interaction. So we define eight clusters for each one. We fit this model and we have a clusters for the interest. So this is the distribution by cluster. So each number represents a cluster and the hard work is to tag and to give a meaning for each cluster and this is that we present for everyone in the slide and the clusters of the interaction. So after these, we have defined the cluster. So we define the group of the interest. So the idea with these two is to try to predict by the test what cluster each test was situation with the cluster. So this algorithm, this program here, it's working with this. So here we apply techniques of the machine learning. So here we have, for example, the clusters, we have the model that we train. So we create a model of the classification. The idea here is to predict this cluster, this target variable with base of the manifestation. So when the P on the sentences type these, what's the cluster that we have the more probability that the text to stay? Here we have the clusters that we define. We tokenize this text to define this classification model. We define a target variable and we define a predict variable that was the vectorized the text. So we try to experiment some models about classification. So we try to first with a multinomial model with the predict and with the target. So we don't have a good accuracy and 56%. We try to predict with a case of model. We don't have a good accuracy, we have a 7%. We try to predict with a decision tree model. We have an increase, we have 66% in the precision, but the best model that was performing is the model of the classification. It's the random forest. So we choose the one random forest to predict with base in a text. What's the group of the interaction that the text was situate? So we hear the scores of the text. After this, we export this model of the random forest and to deploy this application and production models. So here we convert these. We predict this model with base of this text. We have and create a distribution of the probability of this text was situation and if cluster, yeah? So here we have, for example, this message and the probability of this message stay and if each one clusters. So this message, we have a good accuracy that was pretense for the cluster five and we export this model to, has API to access for the system. In the end, we have a good idea. This is a model system that we deploy in the reluco. So this is a type of the manifestation. So the idea of the message, it's important in Portuguese model for this is in Portuguese. So the district of the Aguas lindas, the commercials still work normally with a lot of agglomeration and don't respect the social distance. And remember that district, it's so crowd. So the idea here, what's the group of the interest that this message was situated with this cluster, with this model of the classification and with this model of the segment of the text, we have a model for example, again, okay. We have this message, it's too close to activity that is still working with employers and agglomerations. Another, we have for example, a different message, for example, they store off the coffee, is still working normally today and today, and we don't have protections for our employers. What's the cluster that's the message, what situation? So we have the clusters that the employers asking for protections. So it's important because give for us a specific target that how the government need to fighting or how the government need to actuate with the administrations, with the complaints. So this is the idea of the presentation to show, to share our experience and how digital transformation can help us in the pandemic of the COVID-19. So we have our contents, I have in the discord and we have a Github with the code and we can discuss another opportunity. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Bruno. Thank you very much, that was super nice.


Former Drug Enforcement Administration official Peter Benzinger recently came out against the movement to legalize marijuana and medical marijuana. He laments that legalizing marijuana is a disaster and claims that it's harming young people, it's harming industry and business, and it's causing more deaths of fatalities on our highways. Indeed, in a recent study, a blood test of those involved in highway fatalities there was an increase from 4% to 12%. However, such positive blood tests are only indication that someone smoked pot within the last week, not that they were high. Indeed, in this study, only half of the states that were studied had liberalized their marijuana laws. And indeed, in the liberal states where marijuana laws were relaxed, the number of deaths on the highway actually declined precipitously. And this makes sense. Liberalizing marijuana laws is going to lead to fewer highway fatalities because marijuana and alcohol are thought to be a substitute, and alcohol causes many more highway deaths and accidents. There's also been a recent study that Benzinger points to that emergency room visits involving marijuana have increased. But in virtually every case, this was multiple drugs also involving marijuana or it involved synthetic marijuana, a product which wouldn't be on the free market. Benzinger also claims that everybody from President Obama right on down the line claims that marijuana is harmless. But of course, no one claims that marijuana is harmless or without its risks. So that's just not true. Indeed, marijuana prohibition hurts young people. If they get caught, they lose their student loans. They don't qualify for certain jobs. And if their father is arrested for selling marijuana, they lose their father to prison. And how about business and how about the economy? Well, legalizing marijuana is good for the economy. It creates jobs and it's creating new products as we speak. In terms of the highway, legalizing marijuana has been shown in study after study to reduce accidents and fatalities. And it's also been shown to reduce violence such as assaults and rapes. So legalizing marijuana also reduces the scope and size of government. And that's good policy and that's the Mises view.


If your child is choosy or messy, don't worry, it's normal. Watching you eat a range of foods can encourage your child to try new foods. Here are some ideas which may help you. Involve your child in preparing meals. They will love doing this and it may help them try new foods. It helps to have meal times at a similar time every day. Try to have meals before your child gets too hungry or tired to eat.  But this may make your child a fessier eater.  Just take an eaten food away without comment. Try to stay calm even if it's very frustrating. Avoid distractions. Try to switch off the TV and eat together at the table, away from the toys or other distractions. Let toddlers feed themselves. Try finger foods and let them use their hands rather than a spoon or fork. It may help to present foods in different forms. Your child may refuse cooked carrots but enjoy raw carrots cut into sticks.  You can give them small portions and praise them for trying new foods. Offer healthy snacks like fruit between meals. Handle accidents in a calm way. Your child is still developing so spills are likely to happen. Research suggests that children who have meals with their family do better in lots of ways. Including being healthy and doing well at school. For more helpful tips on meal times and positive parenting techniques, visit gov.world slash give it time.


I think we better get on with it instead of trying to be honest with you, but I don't know it's a very tight day, so we're going to dispense with any formalities and get right with it. We have here a representation of Hearst Washington personnel and a representation of our editors from around the country. Unfortunately, time and room would not accommodate all, but we appreciate the group that is here. As a first question, Mr. President, I know that you are very carefully avoiding talking about a very major victory despite the fact that I'm sure you're confident of one, but my question has to do with assuming that election and assuming it to be of significant proportions. What is your number one priority for a new administration? Well, it has a few parts to it. If there is a new administration, I mean mine for me, if there is, I want to continue with what we called a new beginning back when we started this last four years, the economic recovery that we've had, and I want to continue on the road that we started in the international scene, which is aimed at peace, and that is the dual track. Everyone seems to have overlooked in this campaign the fact that when we set out to rebuild our defenses, we said there was a second track of equal importance, and that was to engage the Soviet Union in legitimate talks to reduce weapons, particularly the strategic weapons. And while they've walked away from the table at this time, I can't believe they're going to stay away. I think it's in their own interest to join us at that table again. But the program that we started, which was based on the tax cuts to provide an incentive to get the economy growing again, the reducing of, first the increase in federal spending, which was at a rate of about 17% and is down around 6% now, to continue getting that down, and we have almost 2,500 recommendations by the Grace Commission that we have a task force working on. We've implemented some already that we've been able to do administratively. Others would require legislation, but to put those in place, and I, you know, I have a memory of, we did that in California with the state, and when the state was in a situation akin to what the President's government of the United States has been, and we found that the advice that we got and the program that was put forward by all those volunteers, leaders, business leaders throughout the state, well the same thing has happened here, only we've had 10 times as many at the federal level, which is fitting, because California is only about one-tenth the population of the nation. Recommendations that are simply based on putting modern business practices to work for government, and they worked. So this is what we're going to do. Thank you. Bill? Mr. President, we want to save your time here. When you came in office, let's say you had 10 problems, I would say that you've certainly gone the way to solve them, if not solved at least half of them, employment and law, and lower taxes, and what they are, the things that you've done well. On the scale of one to five of the remaining things, where would you put the deficit? That they put a lot of stress on it, you're hearing something that's pressing. What do you think? I think the deficit is important. I couldn't say it was unimportant, because for 30 years out of the mashed potato circuit, and long before I ever thought I'd be in public life, I've been complaining about the deficit. But for 50 years, the group and the philosophy that has dominated our government for most of that time has continued to tell us it doesn't mean anything, and that, well, my opponent right now in the campaign, if you look at his past, he upheld the deficits when he was a part of government. He said they stimulated the economy. They worked against having too much unemployment, even advocated once doubling the deficit. Now, I don't feel that way, but I also am not going to panic in believing that the deficit right now, when you see the growth of the economy, when you see the way unemployment has gone down, even while the deficits are going up, they talk about interest rates. Well, interest rates were coming down at their steepest drop at the same time that the deficit was going up. But I believe that you get at that deficit by bringing government, as I say, back into government's proper functions and running it in an efficient manner so that it isn't running away out there beyond your revenues, and at the same time practicing things like the tax policies that are brought about the growth. Now, the deficit this year is down about $20 billion less than it was last year. And we look at that and how did it happen, and it has come about partly some because we never did get all we wanted in cuts, but mainly in the growth of the economy, the improved receipts, even with the cut in the tax rate, the amount of revenues are going down. And we just, we have to continue on that path and do more of it so it comes down faster than $20 billion a year. You have resisted repealing the indexing and the third year of the tax cut. Would you consider those as possible remedies if the deficit didn't come down as fast as you would like? I would have to say it, and of course, you know, I always get in trouble with this because when I, no matter how I try to hedge it and say I'm talking about if a real hypothetical if and a thing that I don't believe is going to happen, it would have to be the last resort entirely. But I don't see anything where tax rates, increasing tax rates, and the threat they are to economic growth, where that can be looked at as a legitimate solution. In the five years before we came here, tax, taxes doubled in this country, and we had $318 billion worth of deficits. And so I think that the, I think that there were two things about the sudden increase in the level of deficits. Part was structural, that's been built in over these 50 years in the government where the Congress had sit there and didn't have to increase the amount. It was already in law that it would increase. The second half of it was the cyclical, the recession that we went into. Well, that had started in 1979. And when you hit bottom in that, you've got unemployed to take care of, and that increases government expenses. And you've lost the revenues that government was once getting from those people when they were employed. Inflation was gone. Inflation, yes. Mr. President, you have a vision of the future in which the American people could be defended against offensive nuclear weapons. Critics contend that if we develop an anti-missile system, the Soviets will strive to catch up and there'll be another costly armed race. To avoid that, to relieve the concern of our allies that the superpowers may control the skies, would you be willing to consider having all of the existing nuclear weapons powers, that is our allies, China and Russia, participate with us in joint research and development of a defense system that could conceivably save mankind from a nuclear holocaust? Well, I haven't suggested such a thing as that, but I know that it was my decision here and around this table with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The nuclear missile is the only weapon in the history of man that has never automatically created a defensive weapon against it. And I said, certainly there must be a better answer than a deterrent, which is all we have now. Granted, it's worked for 40 years in which we say, if you do it to us, our strike against you will be more than you can afford. But it seems to me much more practical if you could find something that kills weapons instead of kills people, kills people. In other words, we're sitting here. If you really analyze it, we're saying that someday, if the Soviets attack, and we always say that because I don't think there's anyone in America that has ever been an administration in this country that has ever contemplated that we would make war, start a war, make war on them. We look, and I told this to Mr. Gromyko, that we look at them as the threat to us. And we think in terms of deterrence. But that deterrence is based on that someone would sit here where I'm now sitting and have to give the order that slaughtered millions of people on the other side. If they did, that's the only defense. So we were all in agreement that it was worth us starting out to find if we could have, could find a weapon that could intercept those missiles and intercept them thoroughly enough, not just like having anti-aircraft guns, some of the bombers always get through. No, to really stop them. And this was why on the debate the other night, I said, I could see, whether it's me here or someone else, I could see if we were successful and came up with all of our technology and there's no one in the world can match it with such a weapon. Then I could see saying to the Soviet Union, telling them and saying, now will you sit down with us and do the practical thing, which is get rid of those weapons because we can prove to you that they won't work anymore. The Department of Defense without a defense. Yes. Mr. President, the Kissinger Commission, as you know, on Central America, said there were two basic underpinnings of the permanent state of unrest in that part of the world and that the communists are sure to exploit. And one of these was the high population growth rate, which had said a triple population in something like 30 years and the other one was the decline in commodity prices and the continuing instability of commodity prices. Beyond trying to put into place such market, free market elements as can be put into place in the region to address those questions, what specifically would your administration in the next four years do to address both problems, namely the high growth of population in Central America and the instability in commodity prices? Oh, now we're talking Central America. Well, here again, I believe that the bipartisan Kissinger Commission gave us a very workable program. Three-fourths of that program was aimed at the social reforms and economic reforms that are needed in so many parts of Latin America, particularly now in this instance in Central America. And one-fourth to help them with their security so that such as El Salvador, while where they're trying as desperately as they are to have a democracy and to have an improved living for their people, you've got to protect them from the guerrilla forces or provide them with the means of protecting themselves is what we're doing while they institute these reforms. But it's akin to our Caribbean initiative. What we have to do is not just go there with aid, which had been too much of our practice in the past, what we have to do is restore their economies or restore. I don't think they've ever had good ones. Give them a basic economy in which they can become self-sustaining and where they can by their own efforts begin to improve the quality of living for their people. Yes, the poverty down there is what makes them subject to subversion from outside, the kind that Cuba exports and the Soviet Union. And most of their revolutions in the past have simply exchanged one set of rulers for another set of rulers. So we're very serious about that plan. And we want to proceed with it, but it will be aimed at helping them in the Caribbean plan. It grew out of one, a thing that we just started kind of, you might say, ad hoc with the Caribbean. And that was, I call some people in New York and who've always been willing to participate in public affairs and people of means and industry and so forth about looking at the Caribbean for investment to meet some of their problems by private investment in those areas. And they did a great deal of this. And from that we then came forth with the Caribbean initiative plan. Now this other is similar to that, but for Central America. And we wanted to implement it. We want to go forward. The difficulty that's holding you back is the violence that's going on. But I think this is the answer. They've got to, and then, well, the other adjunct to that, the birth rate, we've been helping all over the world with information and family planning and so forth trying to help other countries where they have this problem. But once again, they can do it themselves. Mr. President, I have a question about your age. We've heard rumors about the various problems that you have based on your age. We heard some very clever one-liners during the debate that I thought were some of the high points of the debate, as a matter of fact. But without resorting to one-liners, do you see age as an issue? Do you think age should be an issue? And are you willing at any point in the next four years to undergo any kind of competency testing or anything like that? How do you feel on that issue of age? Well, no one-liners. No one-liners. Let's put it this way. I think an issue of health is important and I have been ready and will continue to be ready any time to hand over any medical records. Having had a father in law who was a noted surgeon and the president of the American College of Surgeons, Loyal Davis, he was the one that started Nancy and myself on annual physical check-ups and we're going to continue those and make them available. I'd be the first one of my health for a factor that I couldn't fulfill the requirements, but some of the things that have been brooded about are just not true. I haven't had any more tendency to drop off to sleep in a dull meeting since I've been in this job than I used to have sometimes when I was in college listening to a dull lecture. And I guess, well, I know I've been very blessed and very fortunate. Physiologically, all the doctors that examine me, even the strangers, tell me that physiologically I'm a lot younger than my years. Now, if that ever changes, then that would be, as I say, a matter of health. And I wouldn't want to be sitting in a rocky chair while things were going on around me that I couldn't participate in. Mr. President, I'd like to pick up on Harry's question for a minute and get back to Central America. Even your harshest critics at this day going into the election are conceding that your policy in Central America is working. Mr. Duarte has turned out to be a courageous leader for pluralism. Even in Nicaragua where Comedante Ortega will undoubtedly be re-elected, there is a resurgence of interest on part of the people that is notable through the efforts of Arturo Cruz and others toward pluralism. And the atmosphere seems to be shifting dramatically in large due to your efforts. Would you envision or do you envision circumstances, therefore, in your second term, where it might be possible that you might open negotiations and seek for a renewal of friendship with Cuba? Might Cuba be to you what China was to Richard Nixon? I have to tell you that early in my administration, we thought that we were hearing some signals from there that that was wanted, and we did make a move, and nothing came of it. I would call that. Circumstances are changed. Circumstances change, yes. It would take them or him, if he is still in charge, it would take him being willing to divorce his marriage partner, the Soviet Union, and I have long dreamed of what it would be like to indicate to him that rejoining the family of the Americas could probably offer him far more and his people far more than he is getting in this partnership with the Soviet Union. Now, we will close the door to that just as in Central America now with Nicaragua. We have had a man meeting and meeting the Nicaraguan government representatives and talking what is needed. We are not, this whole thing, let's make it plain that, and this involves the contrast too, it is an overthrow of a government. It is getting that revolutionary government to return to the principles of revolution that it enunciated when it was fighting the revolution, which was democracy, human rights, free press, free labor unions and so forth. Now the election isn't going to mean anything because, as we all know, he has made it impossible even if somebody in one of those splinter parties says, name go on the ballot. We know that it is not a legitimate election. That reminds me of the little joke about the Kremlin. There was a break in the Kremlin one night and someone stole next year's election results. That is what we are seeing down there. But yes, I don't know when they are that indoctrinated and they don't change or give up very easily. I think that what we are seeing is a government very similar to that of the Soviet Union where they are not about to make any changes that are going to eliminate their hold on all the power. But you have to keep trying and one thing out of this election, the very fact that men like Cruz will not run, I think has brought out into the open how much dissatisfaction there is among the people of Nicaragua with the present regime. But yes, if there is, we will keep watching for any hints or signs from Castro's Cuba because that is one of the great tragedies of all time. Mr. President, the last couple of days Mr. Mondale has been advocating something he would do would quickly move towards direct sea and airlift to relieve the starvation situation in Northern Africa. Do you see any opportunity whereby the U.S. will be able to, despite the Marxist regime there, that we can do something about aiding more directly in that situation? We have been the biggest single contributor to Ethiopia, $19 billion last year but we have up that to $45 billion this year. Total for Africa is about $173 billion. The problem I don't think has to do with that there are Marxist so much is just the inability of their bureaucracy to function. Much of the food that we have sent there is still on the docks and we are working all the time and holding meetings on people with theirs on trying to get them to assign more vehicles for transportation of this food and to get it moving better. We have done some of our help through some of the groups like Catholic aid that do seem to be able to get to certain areas with this help. I talked on the phone the other day to Mother Teresa. She has four locations where her nuns are there in Ethiopia and talks of the people that are coming there and they just can't get the food. And I have called our aid group here and put them in touch with her about the location of those and how we can do this but we are working every minute trying to break this log jam. We have provided gasoline for their planes. We have done things of that kind. So that is what has to be broken is just they don't have the infrastructure. They are not distributing what they are getting. Mr. President, would you assess the impact of Geraldine Ferraro first in this election and secondly on the future of politics? Now, first of all, from the standpoint of own being the candidate, high time, fine. I wonder though if it can't be called a great breaking point because if you look at, well in our own administration here, the positions, the gains that have been made in our country, I think it was inevitable that we are going to see and see a presidential candidate. I think the problem was here that in the selection it was someone who had not gone out and well for example, suppose there had been a woman candidate for the presidency in their primaries and contesting and then would be a logical choice having presented herself before the whole electorate for the nominee as the presidency to say that's who I want to be my running mate. This kind of was reaching out and I think it looked to too many people as if they were simply reaching just for that reason. The other way it would be say here's a woman that came up to the place where she's accepted in the eyes of the people as being under consideration for the top spot and sure, she's a logical choice and I wish it had been that way but we've, you can't look at a Margaret Thatcher and a gold of my heir and for that matter Nandiri Gandhi and say why should we be so different but we've made such games. I think part of them, the Supreme Court now, I think the cabinet members that we have here, I think right now there are an awful lot of people in this country that would be ready to mark the ballot if Jean Kirkpatrick ran for anything. She has become so respected and so popular throughout the country. But you don't think that Geraldine Farrar has hit quite that hard? I don't think it hit quite that hard because of the factors that I just mentioned here. First of all, it wasn't that big a move, to an extent it was a logical thing that is going to happen and whether this was the time or not. I guess what I'm saying is that that movement must be based not just purely on the sex of the candidate but must be based also on the qualifications of the candidate. Mr. President, we've had wrong conditions in this country of diplomats now getting involved in politics and yet more than 20 ambassadors appointed by you, including personal friends, have come out for Senator Helms, not for Senator Percy or not for other Republicans. Isn't that bothering you? Well, I'm not going to let myself be bothered by it. I was as surprised as anyone. I didn't know anything like that was going on or how it came about. Traditionally, I don't know whether I've never looked it up to see whether there was any politically appointed ambassador before that ever participated in a campaign or not. We know that traditionally the Secretary of State doesn't and the Secretary of Defense and the Attorney General, other cabinet members have always been accepted as legitimate campaigners. But I was surprised and as I say, I don't know how it came about. But there is no restriction actually or anything legally that binds them from doing such a thing. I think the thing that I guess I'm getting at is the question that Mary Ann Dolan was raising about Central America and so Senator Helms... Oh, excuse me, he'll follow us. Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. President, I believe you have time for one more. Oh, how many more would I... I'll pass. I have a chance. If we're going to do one final, Mr. President, we've all been judging you and your opponent as to how the campaign has gone. Why don't you take a minute and judge us? What issues, if any, have not been articulated clearly to the American public during this campaign? I will tell you one. I said it in the debate the other night. I never said and I never ever thought and I would have thought anybody was crazy who did think that you could turn a nuclear missile around and call it back. I was talking about the submarines and the airplanes and the funny thing is, since my opponent rushed forth with a quote from the press conference when the subject was discussed, I have had more people and I've seen more letters to the editor in papers on campaigning around the country that are saying, well, it's perfectly apparent seeing that, that he was talking about the submarines and the airplanes, not the nuclear missiles. And the thing I've also wanted and maybe want to ask some of your people about this, that took place at a press conference. The whole discussion of what I was talking about, as to why we wanted to begin the start talks on the ground-based missiles. First, if anyone there had thought that I was talking about turning missiles around, why wasn't there a question? Why didn't they say, do you mean that you think you can recall the missiles?  And then it caught on and I've heard them casually mention it on the air and talk shows over the weekend, members of the press saying the same thing.  But that is one. And how, if it hadn't been for the debate, I didn't want to go out there and appear that he could tempt me into replying to his charges so I kept waiting for a second. We had to have a Vietnam that back will come the stories that are leaning the other way. Someone goes down there, something happens. And it struck me so forcibly that when I sat around this table with a bunch of congressmen, senators who'd gone down there in one of those bipartisan groups that the legislature sent down. And some of them were die-hard opponents of mine before they went. Didn't want us to give a dime to El Salvador, anything else. As instant converts after what they'd seen tell me that they now believed El Salvador was trying to have a democracy. And some of them had gone by Nicaraguan, visited Nicaragua and the change. Believe it or not, one of them sat here at this table and told me that an official of the Nicaraguan government told him rather arrogantly that in about 18 months maybe they'd better be watching the Mexican-Arizona border because they'd be there. Their revolution was not limited to Nicaragua. But they all turned around. But yes, I think there has been a reluctance to fairly evaluate what's going on down there. People don't want to accept it. They do link it up with Vietnam a lot. Yes. We could all do a better job is what I'm thinking. Yes. Everything at your disposal and ours. The atrocities? Let me ask you something.  That's news. But what about the letter I got from a young man who told me his mother and father in El Salvador and how the guerrillas came into the village and they brought the mother and father and the children out into the village. This young man had left his family and gotten away. And the villagers told him this story. No, I can't. I have no way to corroborate this. This was his letter. He said they brought them out there in the village square and they gathered the people around. And then they started in with the machetes and the fingers and the toes and of the children in front of the mother and father and then killed them and then went to work on the parents and killed them. Well, it seems to me that if those things are going on they ought to be some pretty big front page stories. I will say this on your behalf. I think there's another electronic element of the media that is more guilty than your part of the media is in that. We do that, too. So I guess we have to accept part of that. Well, but I'm thinking of a TV show of someone who got in with Cameron all up in one of the guerrilla camps and it looked like a Sunday school picnic and there they were with all of the beautiful foliage around and the children romping in the grass and they were sitting having a reading session and so forth, probably reading Karl Marx but they were reading and no word about the fact that they were the same ones that were going to go down and blow a bus off the highway without any idea of who was in that bus. Mr. President, we need to conclude this. You won't be in trouble, but I will if I don't say thank you, Mr. President. I'm sorry. You ask some questions, I took too long to answer. I don't know. I'll ask Knapp which he hates. Department of Defense. Department of Defense. Department of Defense, the media. You can get us a defense of this name. Thank you very much. Thank you. That's a good one. Anybody can come and try it back. One's farmed down. If someone asks a question, I'll ask them. I'll call them. Thank you, I just heard that you were representing here, endorsed by reelect, but I appreciate it. Thank you. I told my five-year-olds, sorry. I'm sorry. I was just talking to the president. Tell the president about me. Tell him good luck. I'm sorry about me. I'm sorry about you. I'm sorry about you. I'm sorry about you. Will hurts four.


Next question is from Marissa Lyft repeat What is going to be the next big worthwhile shift in fitness? Oh good question. You know what? It's funny Since I've been doing all these interviews for the book I've been interviewed now by several doctors. In fact, I was just yesterday. I was interviewed by The author of wheat belly. Are you guys familiar with that book wheat belly? It was like a best seller I didn't read it, but I'm familiar with it. Right. So and he has a group Where people pay to listen to speakers. So in this group I don't know how many hundreds of people were in there and I'm talking about resistance training He's been communicating this exact message for and he was a cardiologist He's been communicating the exact same message now for the past couple years and him and I got talking and he says, you know Sal he goes the research around strength training or resistance training just didn't exist a couple decades ago I've talked about this before on the show. He said more recently research is coming out where they're studying resistance training and They're looking at it for for longevity purposes. How does it affect brain health? How does it affect heart health? How does it affect visceral body fat and diabetes and he goes the research is coming out is crazy I think the next big thing this is what I bet on when I wrote that book is gonna be strength training now Not in the fitness space. We've all known this for a long time But I think the medical community now starting to come to it and start to push it I think over the next ten years. We're gonna see in terms of prescribing it Yeah, I think over the next ten years We're gonna see strength training be a thing that everybody talks about the average person So that's what I would predict is the next great kind of big thing. Yeah, it's a little more general than the way I was thinking I was thinking a little more specific. I think that glucose monitors are gonna become way more popular I think you're gonna see and I think it's gonna help a lot of people that have like diabetes and stuff And it's gonna it's gonna unlock a lot of things nutritionally for people that are trying to figure it out I mean, we were just off air having a conversation with Melissa and she was From Whole30 and she was tough. She's using it right now and we were talking about how she she could eat oatmeal She's telling me like she could eat a whole big old bowl oatmeal. No spike whatsoever from it But then she has a little bit of sweet potato and she gets a massive spike from it So I think there's such an individual variance in how people react to certain foods And I think for the most part we are very clueless to that and I think that is going to unlock a lot of potential I could get behind that. I find it so valuable to get more accurate information that that pertains to the individual and I think you know the more we can kind of You know hone in on that nutritionally will Really provide people with a lot of good valuable, you know things that they can then apply to their their planning and their Organizing of their shopping lists and everything. Yeah, I would like for that to be a big thing. You know, I think it's extremely valuable I'm very fast.  That's always gonna be the challenge. Well, that's always with tech That's I mean cuz I don't start out as they're trying to make it cool And then you know later on people like, okay, what's the value here? I mean, it's the it's the same debate that we made with the whole mirror and tonal thing Right because I mean that thing could be extremely valuable too But will people use it and will they use it correctly and will they be consistent with it? Or will it be just that much harder because it's in their house and it's easier to say no to it and not do it So, you know a lot of these tools so I don't know I think the the glucose monitor because it's something that they you literally stick it on you and don't have to Think about it and then all you'd have to do is basically check your app to get the feedback on what what you ate to me That's going to help a lot of people out and I'm interested to see where that goes I think too and I think that this was starting to become a trend before the pandemic and everything else like where we we saw like unique Like little gyms that that were popping up that were just recovery based And I was getting excited about that but then you know all this hit and so it was like, you know retail took a massive You know lump to the face But I can still see you know some traction there in terms of like there's just a big Community of people that are over training don't realize it yet You know once they kind of step into something like that that introduces them to what a full recovery Focus would provide them. I think it would be interesting and valuable
