November. that fell well short of what economists expected. let s get to the white house and senior white house correspondent phil mattingly. the president did say yes, the unemployment rate is down, but glossed over the fact that last month hiring was sluggish. it was a miss based on what economists were forecasting and it was significantly lower than the month prior. i think to some degree, when you dig into this jobs report, you get a sense it s a microcosm of what the president bhans facing on the most important issue of americans over 11 months in office. you dig in on the report, several positive elements, talking about wage gains, labor participation rate ticking up in a significant point. if you re talking about the unemployment rate, ticking down significantly from 4.6 to 4.2%. those are things that president made clear he wanted to talk about. take a listen. our economy is markedly stronger than a year ago and the incredible news that our unemployment rate has fallen to
i am being literal when i say this. like last night when he was going through his spiel and couldn t stop. does it concern you his cognitive state? it is overlooked and glossed over but is a serious issue. reporter: give me your sense of president biden cognitive ability. your turn. i m not going to - president biden: not a joke. reporter: it is sad. it is sad that americans feel this way about their commander in chief and this is why politico filed a complaint with the white house. he is only some nine interviews since taking office. trumpeted 57.
Governing boring strand. and a joe mccarthy strand that was racist, conspiratorial, paranoid, non-governing. and a lot of us in the party, i d like to think, particularly those of us that were involved in george bush s compassionate conservatism, we felt that we were the dominant gene and that this dark side was the recesssive gene. but i don t know any conclusion to come to but that was wrong and the republican party is what the republican party wants to be. it s very comfortable becoming an autocratic white grievance party. there is no platform. let s don t forget that. we ve kind of like glossed over that. the first time in modern politics a party s platform was whatever donald trump wanted it to be. and that s how autocracies work. that s how it works in russia. it s not a democratic institution. in the vein of talking about my question about people making excuses for him and the fealty to him. chuck grassley appeared with the former president at a campaign-like rally this weekend.
Malevolent successful, but these efforts to sow distrust in one of our most sacred i don t know that there s anything more sacred, our free and fair elections, the peaceful transfer of power. we may have glossed over that too quickly. donald trump robbed the whole country of one of the hallmarks of our democracy by denying us a peaceful transfer of power, one without violence and death. the insurrection was both violent and led to death. and i wonder whether you think that the right frame is around this, because it would appear that if we are if it s been successful, we are already a country where 30%, 40%, maybe 50% of the country no longer trusts election results. has the damage been done? it s been done, nicole, and in the halls that i used to occupy in the pentagon, in central intelligence agency, it is very connected, actually, to what these two madam secretaries are talking about. because autocracies, dictatorships like china and russia, their main message to the world is that democracies are inherently unstable.
Newcastle or will it “ust be glossed over? ~ newcastle or will it ust be glossed over? ~ ., newcastle or will it ust be glossed over? ~ ., ., over? i think. tended to say at gloucester over? i think. tended to say at gloucester but over? i think. tended to say at gloucester but i over? i think. tended to say at gloucester but i don t over? i think. tended to say at gloucester but i don t want - over? i think. tended to say at gloucester but i don t want to i over? i think. tended to say at. gloucester but i don t want to use those words because if there was another problem with saudi arabia thanit another problem with saudi arabia than it would also be referred to. of course there s a major problem of course there s a major problem with human rights, they are going to have some big questions because in your news feed of course, they re talking about the money coming from the saudi arabian sovereign wealth fund. if that is true, then that is actually government money. so you cannot divorce government policy, all the stuff we object to with saudi arabia and ended the stuff we have encouraged, the fact they are an enormous customer of our military many fashion capability in the stuff, you cannot divorce after the money going of the ballclub. so i don t want to use the word glossed over but if you are intimating that we will as a nation and indeed especially up in the northeast of england, they will concentrate on the money buying players and buying
There will be a new leader come march and kim jong un cannot guarantee that the new leader of south korea will be as happy to talk to him as the current one. a former facebook employee has accused herformer a former facebook employee has accused her former employer of favouring profit over challenging extremism. she says that facebook prioritised growth over safety. facebook said that the leaks were misleading and glossed over positive research taken by the company. you have our research taken by the company. i m, have your phone, you might see 100 pieces of content if you sit and scroll for five minutes. it pieces of content if you sit and scroll forfive minutes. it facebook has thousands of options it could show you, how facebook is picking out that content today is it is optimising for content that gets engagement, or reaction. but its own
Misinformation, angry content is enticing to people. very enticing. it keeps them on the platform. yes. facebook has realised that if they change the algorithm to be safer people will spend less time on the site, they will click on less ads, they will make less money. facebook says leaks were misleading and glossed over positive research conducted by the company. during the 60 minute interview ms haugen also claimed that after the 2020 election facebook disbanded the civil integrity team she worked on that was designed to stop dangerous misinformation and extremism on the platform a decision she claims contributed to the january six capitol hill riots. here s facebook s communication director nick clegg responding to that claim in an interview with cnn. i think if the assertion is that january the 6th can be explained because of social media ijust think that is ludicrous. the responsibility for the violence of january the 6th, the insurrection
Pretty pleased with yourself. a string of successes, it is odd because on the way over he said the relationship with washington is better than it has been in decades and that on the back of all the fairly vitriolic things said in the house of commons about the withdrawal from afghanistan, what a difference a couple of weeks makes yes, and he has gone out of his way here to mention the sacrifice of us troops, at kabul airport, as well, so he s notjust sort of glossed over that, so he s notjust sort of glossed overthat, he so he s notjust sort of glossed over that, he has positively reached out on afghanistan as well, and you will have heard the things that were said in the house of commons a few weeks ago, they were vitriolic about american behaviour, i think that is something he is prepared to give a bit on. i think it is worth bearing in mind, the one thing that british prime ministers have known really since the second world war, is that this relationship with washington is the cornerstone of the national interest and at times it is going to
Responsible officer of government for you know, so he took full responsibility. actually, benefitted from that. but clearly, things went wrong. and he kind of glossed over that, today, and i think he made a mistake doing that. i think people would have accepted, if he had said, yeah, we got this wrong. we got to find out why but mostly what we have to do, now, is make up time that we lost here. you know, you worked, obviously, in the obama administration. president obama, with iraq, sent troops back in. which was not very popular among certainly, among a lot of the president s supporters, at at the time. joe biden was vice president from there. and do you see any potential for a similar repeat? because i mean, as you said, joe biden was, then, as vice president, i assume, he wasn t for sending troops back in? well, look. the policy had drifted for seven
And everyone remembers the assurances he gave the country back in april. and i think there is nothing wrong with saying, we got that wrong, and i own it. you know, john f. kennedy after the bay of pigs said victory has 1,000 fathers and defeat is an orphan, and i am the responsible officer of government. so he took full responsibility. actually benefitted from that. but clearly, things went wrong. and he kind of glossed over that today. and i think he made a mistake doing that. i think people would have accepted if he had said, yeah, we got this wrong. we got to find out why, but mostly what we have to do now is make up time that we lost here. you know, you worked obviously in the obama administration. president obama with iraq sent troops back in, which was not very popular among, certainly among a lot of the president s
