■今日の注目語句
[15:31] DREW PEARLMAN, General Manager, O'Neil Nissan: We're writing everything by pen and paper and by hand, but we can't go into our back-end systems and see what the actual warranty costs are on things or what things are actually going to cost. And we -- it just -- it's a manual process now that takes a lot longer, especially in service. And then, when we talk about the sales part of it, that gets even crazier, because that has a lot of compliance components, such as credit, your red flags, your OFACs, and all of those things which integrate into CDK.
[21:54] DONALD TRUMP: And on day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut federal funding for any school pushing Critical Race Theory , and I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate.
[22:07] LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Medical experts say that implications for schools and for public health across the country could be enormous. For more, we're joined by Dr. Paul Offit [** 前回登場時 ] . He's a pediatrician and a professor of vaccinology at the University of Pennsylvania.
[26:24] DR. PAUL OFFIT: Right. I think what happened over the last few years, with the masking mandates and with the vaccine mandates is, we leaned into this libertarian left hook. And now for the last few years, every year, there's been hundreds of pieces of legislation pushing back on mandates. And so we have been pushing and pushing and pushing, to the point that now we're starting to see measles again. And, in 2022, there was a case of polio in Rockland County, New York, in an area where the immunization rates were only 30 percent. This is a man who never left this country. So these are not diseases that you want to see come back.
[28:29] GEORGE LATIMER: I'm afraid that the more we focus on identity politics, the less we focus on the substance. So, what I have offered is a slogan that says results, not rhetoric.
[34:23] The other thing I think will be key for Biden in this debate -- look, it's early. We have never had a debate this early. I think a lot of people who are checked out of the election right now are not going to necessarily check in, in June. They may do so as we get closer to the election.
[40:01] KATIE DURHAM: You just drive around town and anything from our banks to the implement dealers, anything that you see in town is all tightly related to agriculture.
[41:49] BRANT PETERSON: I have abandoned over half the wells on my farm. They're not feasible to pump anymore. Now, if I wanted to be a water baron , yes, I could pump all year long and make something happen out of it, but I can't sleep at night doing that.
[48:42] She shows the closing of a major medical center, and her response through art to a Levi Strauss ad campaign that used her town as a setting for so-called urban pioneers and featured a tagline that read, "Go forth." Frazier asked, "Go forth where?"
[51:48] JEFFREY BROWN: Again, this is artwork as monument to workers she sees as undervalued and little known heroes who choose how they want to be photographed and are given their own voices through the text.
LATOYA RUBY FRAZIER: So this exhibition Monuments of Solidarity literally democratizes the arts. And it also, room after room, as you see the way that we're collectively making the photographs together, it puts forth new ideas about different ways that we could dream about our economy, different ways that we can dream about labor.
