Learn more@edwardjones.com I'm jingling and this is something morning. From the earliest days we thought of ourselves as a self-reliant people. If the wheel on the Pioneers Conestoga wagon broke. They simply fixed themselves in carried on westward.

So how is it these days when something breaks.

We likely find ourselves in effects, unable either to repair it on our own or find anybody else who can conundrum David Poe will explore this morning.

Our machines are getting more complex and more expensive for our phones to our tractors so one of the manufacturers want you to fix it when they break coming up on Sunday morning. Tomorrow is Columbus Day the traditional day of pride for Americans of Italian heritage, but given all we know now. Should Christopher Columbus and some other historical figures still be standing tall controversial topic that Morocco will explore it's been a rough 2024, Christopher Columbus protested faced topic even beheaded, but the controversy over the Italian explorer is just part of what is become a monumental reckoning. This is a rental over who gets to tell the nation's history who gets to be at the history later on Sunday morning, America's statues who stays and who goes. Tracy Smith is at home with promos. The New York governor and his daughters Remy Enos NCO has a Sunday Journal from China on that nation's success in finding covert Nicholas Thompson looks into conspiracy theories on the Internet and the campaign trail and more all on this Sunday morning 11 October 2020 will be back in a moment in the old days when something broke.

We fixed these days, it's more like were in effects. As David Poe will explain today's gadgets are either designed to be unfixable by the average person, or by anyone at all last summer fourth-generation California farmer Dave Halford showed me around his 2004 John Deere tractor 747 middle rear right.

Not your grandfather's tractor.

It is not your grandfather but it was this tractor caused him grief during last year's planting season I got an attractor, and it is throws an error code of what you know in that readout. So I called my dealer, they I'm in a bind in their busy and they Come. You know, just like that he lost two days of farming time waiting for a repair. He'd much rather just fix the thing himself.

Born and raised in bread that we like to fix all of her own stuff and that's about the only way especially a small family farmer can make a living attractor is as high-tech as the you everything else we have but attractor has a touchscreen it's got a computer. Kyle means is the founder and CEO of iFixit is most this is the new iPhone. The company that offers tools, parts and repair manuals for thousands of gadgets RAM upgrades hard drive upgrades, you name it we got there is a special screw on the iPhone that Apple put on there just to keep you out if a special five pointed screw that no one had seen before. The iPhone he says that the big electronics makers try to stop you from fixing your own stuff manufacturer cutting off all the things we need to fix things, shortening lifespans and forcing us to go them to just buy a new one.

Rather than fixing what we arty have and why are they doing this to increase their service revenues. They want to make as much money fixing things as possible might believe it or not there was a time when manufacturers advertise how long their products lasted side-by-side over stacked every full-sized washer is built to last longer.

But if this 2019 Microsoft laptop is any indication, this is the most difficult of the symbol laptop we've ever seen.

Those days are over. There's absolutely no way to get this thing open without destroying the laptop to replace the this is a disposable product user for two years you throw away. I don't like that doesn't just grumble.

He's a leader of a national movement called right to repair. They want laws that would allow you to fix your own electronics or at least take them to local independent repair shops instead of forcing you to use the manufacturers repair service were here today and strong opposition to, but if this 2019 hearing Massachusetts right to repair bill. A parade of industry representatives explained their objections allowing unfettered access to service information to untrained individuals will undermine the integrity of the equipment. This legislation has been filed in over 21 states no state has passed this legislation that's for a reason and is true no state has yet pastor writes repair law, but the movement hasn't been a total bust. John Deere says that starting next year it will offer repair manuals and other diagnostic tools for its tractors and remember that unrepairable Microsoft laptop.

Well, this year's models are not only far more repairable.

But Microsoft actually touts their repair ability as a desirable feature just like that talking simply, last year, Apple launched its independent repair provider program which offers authentic parts, tools and training to independent repair shops they were going to release the repair program allowed for two part four repair shop. It seemed like just what Teresa McDonagh had been hoping for.

She runs a repair shop in Middlebury, Vermont estate where there are no Apple stores will probably need about an hour and 1/2, but in the end she didn't sign up for Apples program. She found requirements to invasive too much data collection parts prices too high PR more than it is actually helpful.

In the meantime, Kyle Wiens says the fight will go on to this is a groundswell of people across the country saying no, enough is enough were sick of throwing away things that are almost functional. Let's take the lead. Let's fix them and let's let's push back on this throwaway culture. Not everyone will be celebrating Christopher Columbus on the holiday tomorrow.

In fact, critics question whether he or some other historical figures should be standing tall at all. It's a list that Morocco tells us seems to be growing when you think when you look at that statute start watching the first president of the United States, the leader of the American Revolution.

I also see a slaveholder Rutgers history professor Erica Armstrong done this dedicated much of her career telling the story of owner judge. One of the more than 300 black people enslaved by Pres. George Washington and his wife, Martha, George Washington walked up and down with this area.

Owner judge managed to escape when the couple was living here in Philadelphia the nation's capital during the 1790s. She was never captured. Not that the Washingtons didn't try the Washingtons were very meant that they wanted owner judge to return and what some very interesting is to think about George and Martha Washington relentlessly pursuing owner judge he was using slave agents to collect Martha Washington his property. We have to reckon that there is that side of Washington alongside of his contributions to the creation of the nation and for Dunbar that reckoning may mean taking Washington down from his pedestal literally should some monuments to George Washington be removed. I think it makes sense to have monuments of remembrance for George Washington in species where there is a direct connection to George Washington's base and every burger places throughout cities not necessarily because for some people, even a reminder of the trauma of slavery.

The long-running battle over America's monuments came to a head in 2015 after a white supremacist murdered nine African-Americans at Charleston, South Carolina's mother Emmanuel church. Since then around 100 Confederate statues have been discharged. But since the death of George Floyd. The range of figures targeted as racist or expanded well beyond the Civil War South monuments. I literally elevate about right. This is the wrestle of her power. This is a wrestle over who gets to town the nation's history who gets to be a bit of history but the power politics behind morals aren't always obvious. Christopher Columbus has long been controversial. A brilliant navigator and a brutal colonialist roasted based, but many Columbus statues were erected in the early 20th century as symbols of pride for Italian Americans, a group that had faced fierce prejudice even lynchings in the 1890s slip for many Italian Americans this was a way to demonstrate that they contributed to making America a way to say that they were equal as Sec. of the Smithsonian Lonnie punch me in the closest thing America has joined national curator. He believes monuments should reflect today's values. I think the what the Columbus that you tells us is that it's a challenge to take something that was done 70 years ago help it evolve so my notion is that some of these statues could be proven. We have to get rid of every race this monument in this country is in general, are you heartened by all these debates any time people talk about history. I'm a happy guy and I think there's something powerful about a country periodically debating who it is and who it wants to become what many have found jarring is the lack of debate missionary Junipero Serra Acosta sink gardens tribute to an all black union Regiment graffiti, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant fallen even Gandhi has been bloodied as a historian you start to wonder all these people know their history well actually no I don't want. I know that they do.

The vast majority of Americans don't know their history father you horrifies me anger and rage and sometimes as collateral. There is a big element of anti-Americanism in this not only add to the bad things, but in the good things because there are no good thing right. The whole history is corrupt and I think that's wrong. Writer Richard Kaiser thinks a little bit of humility is in order. If you're only I have statues of perfect people will be left with Jesus Christ rock.

I have a statute. People are complicated. We have to realize that about ourselves and about the dead Brooke Kaiser is the biographer of several founding fathers, including Washington.

Washington was a hero in the struggle for self-rule in the struggle for self-rule is the big story of the last 250 years that includes all the other stories that includes anticolonialism that includes struggle against racism, the American Revolution was the greatest experiment in human political history and its crazy to throw the garbage can.

I do not think you race. Washington and Jefferson and of course obviously nobody loves Hamilton Lonnie punch season Washington and our other slaveholding founding fathers contradictions. We should strive to understand.

It's almost like saying how do you understand your parents if you only know a little bit about the more you know about them. The more you better understand who they were and who you are and that's why like a sissy with some of the founding fathers of people understand a little better who they once were and who they can be. It's a big moment in anyone's life when they realize their parents aren't perfect people the right as you get older you realize they were more perfect than you thought initially. Perhaps the best way to bring peace to our boreal landscape is to add statutes in 2017 Philadelphia dedicated the statue of Octavius Caddo 19th-century African-American civil rights activist. On his way to vote. It's right outside City Hall which is where we bumped into Philly resident Lester Starkey is a daughter summer we got seeing this statue gives you a feeling of passions may continue flaring in the short term, but as in all things historical. It's important to consider the Longview. This isn't the first time in history that statues have been toppled know there was there was a statute toppled in New York City in 1776 the golden statue of George III, which had been put up when we all thought he was a good guy.

The British monarch the British monarch were fighting a revolution against the statue was torn down in the story as it was made of lead in the lead was melted into bullets or any of these things permanent. Nothing is permanent know were all going to die. There will come a time when the United States doesn't exist anymore some things last longer than others. Well, some things last longer than others, and let's hope good things last longest progress and crazy time once final point is we had people in the best way to protect people's final season Millstream. This is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put her mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situation or motor situations not being matched up with follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts is forced lifestyle changes on families across the land, including the family of the man who for many months was the public face at the center of the covert outbreak, Tracy Smith is at home with the Cuomo's grace in this house like so many other homes across America Sunday dinner with the family. I got banned from nipple making. Once my grandma into bread coming from lectures and in this family like so many others. You don't have moved back home.

Michaela, Mariah and Kara Kennedy Cuomo all quarantining together with Gov. Andrew Cuomo their dad, remember when dad called me right at the beginning of this and said this is can be a big deal and you should be here for you Gov. you kind of engineered this getting all of your girls back together under one roof so that I can engineer anything with my girls but I was suggest of the concert. I wanted them here. I wanted them with me. I needed them. In many ways for 111 days straight. Gov. Cuomo held briefings about coded 19. He says he tried to present just the facts, the fact were often grim. The curve is actually increasing on one day alone. April 8, New York lost 799 lives to the virus that is so shocking and painful breath. I can't. I don't even have the words for how long.

I see it on him. I hear side of this bank draft that he takes stress did he sleep just like their dad and his late dad Gov. Mario Cuomo. These young women have activism in their blood, their mom and Cuomo's former wife Carrie Kennedy founded the Robert F. Kennedy human rights project named after their grandfather. So of course when the time came to Kennedy Cuomo daughters jumped right into covert relief efforts contest for ads encouraging mask was Mariah's idea. I wear a mask to protect you with me. Gov. Marshall public support and resources and important as New York covert numbers fell, the daughter say people across the world started asking for advice. They told their dad had to do more accent like you guys Pushed him for getting all this request for how to do it. We need to come out with something from the first day we are all saying you have to write to communicate. Somehow the result is a new book American crisis leadership lessons from the coded 19 pandemic when is it over. Nobody knows, but to some a book about lessons seems if not presumptuous, at least a bit premature covert cases are on the rise in a number of states including New York.

Do you see how some people say this is taking a victory lap in the middle of a pandemic old is no victory here. The game is an over. This is halftime. Let's learn the lesson from the first half of the day and play a better second half, but we have to play the whole second and is going to be another virus infection or bacteria, and we can't make the mistakes we made the nation and coronavirus death. More than 30,000 you know that there people out there saying why setting himself up as the guy who did everything right. New York still has the largest number of any state New York is the largest number that's because New York largest number since we much worse infection rate than other states and we had it before anyone knew anything about cold. What happened in New York was unique. We were ambushed. Nobody knew the virus was here.

That's not true. Five months later everybody knows you. There is no reason that we still have this infection rate going up across the country. There is just no reason the governor knows his family has been lucky for months. He could only talk with his nine-year-old mother, Matilda is due but finally had face-to-face visit turned out fine at the end of the day, but it was like I lost a lot of time but I just wish that I had when he talked about his family and the briefings New Yorkers on your side of Cuomo, maybe only those closest to him before me know the vulnerable, sensitive to all things that are so sensitive, the governors girls have become his roommate and his coworkers and his fiercest offenders so as protective as you are of your dad protecting I would imagine there will come a time when you guys are again come a time when Bailey is not going to happen.

Why would they want to think you have exciting lives of their own, they might want to go pursue the me stay here with me and do whatever you want to go there. Dad is also a bachelor's long-term relationship with author and TV chef Sandra Lee ended last year.

Okay, so our light note. You guys are the social media savvy one. Have you helped your dad with his dating life gotten online for him set up a profile anything like that nothing will bubble quite yet. No offers, no encouragement, no encouragement, of course, there's always the possibility that dad will be the one to move away from Albany though he's repeatedly insisted he has no interest in going to Washington, so as much as he says I'm governor of New York for as long as they'll have me do you guys maybe have higher aspirations for your wish for you be more inspiring work comp really great American and a daughter. For now, the governor and other leaders have their hands full with the virus.

Pres. Trump who Cuomo blames for mishandling the country's response has the disease himself, and as Cuomo said it's only halftime, I'm wondering when you heard that the president was diagnosed with COBIT whether it shocked indicia. It shocked me because I was aware of the protections he had around.

I think this says to everyone to see real you can get it even president of the United States also puts a moment where this nation just puts aside the ugly politics that has become the way of this country and let's remember that at the end of the day world people trying to do our best and we can disagree but let's let's just be kinder to one just how is it that China, the origin of the coronavirus has been able to get outbreak under control Remy in a sense, has a Sunday Journal from Shanghai nearly unthinkable has happened. China will return for morning tai chi at Beijing's temple of the sun to the lunch crushing the central business district rush home at sunset across the avenue of eternal peace Chairman Mao's agon keeps watch over tenement square in the country living host coded new normal.

It's hard to believe. Cities across China with millions of people looked like ghost towns earlier this year in January. CBS News was the first US network in Wuhan where the pandemic started, the government struck back hard and fast forcing up to 50 million people into lockdown for two months building new hospitals in less than two weeks. Welding some families inside their homes testing and contact tracing descending on new outbreaks with speed adopting a QR health code system on smart phones banning nearly all foreigners from entering the country and putting everyone who was allowed to return, including yours truly, into a 14 day quarantine government designated hotel all thanks to a mix of authoritarian rule in the memory of SARS in 2003 is covert peaked in February Shanghai and the city's historic bond stood eerily quiet but not anymore. This is Shanghai. Now the masses have returned and most of the mass have not the sheer normalcy of all this really is very strange, almost as if coded ever happened at all. In a country of 1.4 billion people, fewer than 5000 were officially reported to have died compared to more than 210,000 and counting in the United States.

Critics of China say it's death toll is too low to be true of fair claim for a country where bad news is often covered up last week as a trump eagerly reminded Americans where COBIT began with China's fault chart is very big price they done to this country work Jones from Georgia is a sophomore at New York University's campus in Shanghai with the mandatory mask flash of a health code and temperature check.

He attends his classes almost international students fled.

Jones decided to stay. Basically my dorm the entire time. By April thing for you know people sometimes more massive basically nonexistent. No mixed mode classes from statistics to modern dance or another new normal. Some students physically in the room, some virtually no one raises a fuss. Everyone in China is very willing to abide by any policy set forth for containment of the disease 100 aspiring to everyone. Did the quarantine as a result.

Business is back and bustling like a China's first Shake shack choice two is proud general manager when did this take you never quote what you think is the most prevention that you want to share with American as life goes on the show goes to Joe 100 miles west.

This is Cirque du Soleil's only show operation out of 44 in the world Of the artists are Chinese.

The other half international from the US, Canada, Russia, Australia, and France, acrobats have been dancing, spinning and flying masked audiences since June. We all live in the life you want you and is the show's technical director has there ever been a coronavirus incident not with audience not with stuff so with been very fortunate say China is one of the safest place right now because of the situation and what use work. Jones might agree.

I went back to United States right now to be frank, I feel little nervous and he would have a tough time coming back. China is shut most foreigners to keep coronavirus out to in a country steeped in more than 3000 years of history, China's leaders intend for it to be around for at least 3000 more. Pres. Trump hasn't been shy about offering advice on COBIT 19, which prompted some thoughts from contributor Paul Mercurio is yellow Pres. Trump assisted positive for cocaine. 19 and this past week only be described as a film directed by phone.

We need produced by Orson Welles and written by Flaubert Pres. Trump took to Twitter and the airwaves is only provoked in a tweet hero quote in this video we describe the virus. This way, this was a blessing in disguise, Mr. Pres., I tested positive for Cova 19 and three months later I'm still suffering significant symptoms so I can tell you the person's choice.

If the coronavirus dominates one's life. It just does it.

Furthermore, there's nothing disguised about it in your face 24 seven and is anything but a blessing yes you got is a blessing, shortness of breath, fatigue, vomiting, sore throat, headaches, dizziness, loss of taste and smell and random severe pain throughout one's body now. I've heard public service announcements to eradicate deadly diseases like cancer or heart disease, but this is the first I never ever heard of PSA deposit deadly disease which is killed by the way, more Americans than those who died in battle in World War I, the Vietnam War, the Korean conflict.

US operations interact the war in Afghanistan. The Persian Gulf War and 9/11 combined Pres. Trump is a very dangerous game you're playing you're trying to normalize a deadly disease that is yet to be contained. You know, this essay do as I say not as I do in this case, Pres. Trump only part of that phrase is accurate. Certainly don't do as he says in under any circumstances. Don't do as he does do the opposite. Strangest of presidential campaigns has just 23 days to go. Thoughts on where things stand from John Dickerson of 60 minutes presidential election in the age of the pandemic is new, but may hinge on how voters interpret a very old phrase Harry Truman's favorite, the buck stops here.

The buck comes to us from poker and frontier days. A knife with a popcorn handle was used to indicate whose turn it was to deal a player who didn't want that job could decline passing the buck.

Truman had a plaque with the expression on it given to him by a friend who had seen it at an Oklahoma prison on the warden store for Truman. The phrase defined presidential decision-making for a Monday morning quarterback coach should have done games over one the decision is up for you in on my desk motto, which is the buck stops here this, the phrase puts the backseat driver in his place and encourages him more's assessment of the president, one that acknowledges how hard the job is Pres. Kennedy told a group of historians, no one has a right to grade a president not even poor James Buchanan who has not sat in his chair dying.

That's true and you is what it is but that doesn't mean we are doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it. This is how Donald Trump would like people to judge his response to COBIT 19 in the modern presidency.

However, buck stopping has been redefined in a way that is much less pathetic is come to mean that a president is fully accountable for the outcome of events, no matter how difficult they are advocates for this stricter standard of excellence say it's necessary because the specter of harsh judgment focuses the mind of the president and his staff don't make excuses just get results. It's a tough standard but it's the only kind of standard for an office where no decision is ever easy to make the right call in a fix is why they get to sit in the big chair as one Gen. put it to me so voters have a choice sympathetic or strict standard, whether reelection is a reward for excellence or merely a trophy for participation.
