into the united states. and as we discussed a couple of weeks ago the secretary of state even expunged the nazi records of people like werner von brown and some of his fellow nazi scientists so that they could work in us intelligence. and verna von braun and his fellow his team of scientists played a key role in the development of the us space program. but refugees also informed our political life. think of henry kissinger madeleine albright the german political theorist hannah arendt they have played a key role but there are others they've played a cube role in shaping our political life. they've shaped our cultural life think of the actress, marlena dietrich. the hungarian composer bella bartok the austrian composer arnold stormberg and the russian french painter mark sagal but there are many many other refugees that we could highlight refugees have always played an important role in the political economic and cultural life of our nation. but public opinion polls tell us that americans were very concerned

would have to have the state's approval. during the next 36 years, the state's reviewers in new york city examined almost 50,000 films. most were promptly approved. in some cases, the board asked for cuts. a few films were banned outright. for such cases the law provided an appeal procedure to the state board of regents. if a film was not obscene, indecent, immoral, inhuman, sacrilgious or attempting to corrupt morals or cause crime, it was given acceptance. in 1950 the board reviewed a film entitled "the miracle." submitted as part of a trilogy called "ways of love." so a license was issued signed by the director of the motion picture division of the state education department. dr. hugh flick. twelve days later, "ways of love" opened at the paris theater. reaction was good. q magazine said a memorable event in motion pictures. the trilogy offered three stories of love. "the miracle" won special praise from the "new york times" which called it brilliant, overpowering. this story told about a simple peasant girl. expecting a

the united states do not have their own state. and i think this is a particular issue that is sort of, you know, and to think that's what kim tallbear is talking about just kind of reduced color, color lines. that is in a very productive for actually bringing about change, even though i think african-americans try constantly to make the point, you know, but that's too much to handle for a lot of people, is to deal with that historical reality. the united states being as it is, the corporation, that people tend to incorporate themselves rather than even call it communities, but sometimes they are pretty artificial. i'm not sure that's a root problem but a manifestation of deeper issues we have to deal with. >> i think with time maybe for one more. logan comments, it seems that the myth of all end quote nation of immigrants is primarily about quote becoming white. as you also mentioned. how do people of color eventually become included, or not, in the myth? the arc particularly thinking about how some of that culture list approaches

state is unequivocal. i continue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way to ensure israel's future as a jewish democratic state, living in peace alongside of viable sovereign and democratic palestinian state. we are a long way from that goal at this moment. but we must never allow ourselves to give up on the possibility of progress. we cannot give up on solving raging civil conflicts, including in ethiopia and yemen. we are fighting between warring parties is driving famine, horrific violence, human rights violations against civilians, including answer constant use of rape as a weapon of war. we'll continue to work with international community to press for peace and bring an end to this suffering. as we pursue diplomacy across the board, the united states will champion the democratic values that go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and people. freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people. it's stamped into our d.n.a. as a nation, and critically i

the united states will do our part. we more successful a more impactful if all of our nations are working toward the full mission, to which we are called. that's why we're the 100 nations united. we get around a shared statement. the security council adopted a resolution outlining how will support the people of afghanistan moving forward, laid out the expectations to which will hold the tale bond. when it comes to respecting universal human rights. we all was to advocate for women, the rights of women and girls to use their full talents to contribute economically, politically and socially, and pursue their dreams free of violence and intimidation from central america, the middle east, africa, daph, galveston, wherever it appears in the world where almost call out and condemn the targeting and oppression racial, ethnic and religious minorities. when it occurs in whether carson sion, john or northern european, or anywhere in the world, we almost defend the rights of l, g, b, t, q i, individuals. so they can live in love,

under state law there are two buckets of state mandated a.d.u.s rebranded since the last hearing. first, state a.d.u. program previously known as streamlined a.d.u.s. they also have the hybrid program previously known as ministerial. under this bucket we also have a new type of a.d.u. called junior a.d.u. which can convert 500 square feet of single family home. calling for each with a few highlights on the slide with different buckets in mind and our local program. property owner may qualify for more than one type of a.d.u., and in that case the staff will work with the applicant to clarify what they qualify for. ultimately it would be up to the applicant to decide what type of a.d.u. they want to pursue. ordinance includes a few big picture changes on the slide and discussed in the staff record. the primary reason this ordinance is in front of you today is because it amends article 10 and 11 to explicitly say proposed state man datessed a.d.u.s in article 10 and 11 would be except from permits to review so long as they comply with state law. the change to article 10 and 11 is req

it's a loyal slaveholding state. it is still in the union were as virginia is a part of the confederacy. it is a slaveholding states. d.c. has emancipation measure in 1862 that frees enslaved people within the district of columbia. but that does is it triggers the movement of enslaved people from the surrounding state and it becomes very complicated because the union is very invested in making sure those in the union, the union government is still in the government. : : : >> it forces this relationship between enslaved people and the federal government that is really unprecedented from the south, right, but as we see from your book, that actually that fight had begun well before -- well before the civil war happened. so emancipation becomes a defining moment i think for the nation's capitol where we really begin to see the strength of the federal government against slavery in ways we hadn't before. >> thank you very much. so as we reach the end of our time together, when we pick up your books, what do you want us to

the united states is now the most powerful economic state in the world. it has global interests. it is not weak and underdeveloped. it is a continental nation with global interests. and technology has made the world smaller. the old tradition made sense when the united states had the two greatest natural defenses in the world, the atlantic and pacific oceans. that was our protection, but that protection is not what it used to be. military technology is changing, air power in particular allows countries to project their military power away, away that's never been true before. the world is for all intents and purposes, smaller than it used to be, we are in greater danger from a foreign power than we ever were. the world is changed, the anti interventionist argue in that case we need better hemisphere defenses. that's what we need, that only reinforces the idea that what we need is fortress america. we need to build up our hemisphere defenses, become so strong that no one will dare attack us, and that means every bit of military hardware we produce needs to stay with us. stay here i

-- that law flocked states, any state in the country from banning abortion, it said american women have a right, under the united states constitution to get an abortion if they want one. and that right can't be infringed even if politicians and individual states feel different. after that ruling in 1973, the very first abortion clinic to open its doors in the great state of texas was a clinic in the city of mcallen. mcallen is a small city on the very southern tip of texas, right on the border with mexico. the first abortion clinic in texas opened there in 1973, and it served women in the valley, in that part of texas for decades. even as anti abortion republicans started to cement their control of the government in texas, and year after year they devised ever more creative and draconian ways to make abortion as hard and that's dangerous to get as possible in texas, that clinic in mcallen kept going. and republicans really did keep passing more and more restrictive laws making it more impossible for clinics to stay open, making it more impossible for doctors to keep providing that servi

of the entire state of new jersey in terms of -- the entire state, new jersey is a big state, man. and it's critically important. and that's how much is the loss and by the way, the smoke from these fires ends up in new york, new hampshire, ends up people not only worrying you have to do it all, thank god you've got a governor who understands there's a covid crisis that everybody should be vaccinated, guess what? parents are not only worried now about whether their kids are going to get covid, the delta variant, they're worried about whether they can breathe the air. there's so much we can do. i really mean it from the bottom of my heart, there's so much we can do, it's within our power to do it. let's not lose this advantage. i would guess in the state, a neighboring state called idaho, idaho, when i got elected as a 29-year-old senator was a republican state. and i don't know what the hell happened, but-- . [laughter] >> i mean, excuse me, democratic state and now it's a republican state. frank church, others were democrats, but the government was there, complementary if you're a

do you see a wide variety of states in the way they handle the -- the way states handle this? do you go into, in the book, where the successes and failures have been in the states? >> oh, larry, thank you so much for the question. great job at the acu. i appreciate what you do. we all think that there are 23 right to work states. most being indiana. well, there are. what is a right to work state really mean? does it mean you're free to petition government? you're free to sell your own labor? no. there's only seven states that you're not forced under collective bargaining. there are 23 states where you don't have to pay. but in the differential, in terms of union membership between the seven states and the other 16 states that are right to work states, but you can be forced under collective bargaining, there's 60% more union members per capita. so it's not just a matter of right to work. it's a matter of being forced into collective bargaining. which that means you don't have the right to petition your employer. you don't have the right to sell your own labor freely. there are

people in and the states don't even know. they say it's an allotment and >the governors, republican governors -- he look at the well-run states, it's all done by for the most part republican governors. we have great republican governors, we really do. >> sean: so the policies thate have been reversed, joe hasn't come to the border. you've been here many times.ha kamala really didn't come to the border, seems like a photo up to me. what would you want them to know that they don't know or maybe they do know and they don't seem to care about? >> she wouldn't have come if she didn't hear i was coming. i was invited by the governor and i said yes because we were very proud of the job we did. we built now i guess it's close to 500 miles of wall and we are going to build an extra 200 because we had money left over. we were going to do an extra 200 and no one has ever done this and all he had to do is go another two months and the wall would have been totally completed and they have to paint the wall. i'm going to give that job to br

it is in the united states with them too. for the house republicans, we hold that policymakers and south korea would realize that the interest is best served by working with united states, and we hold china accountable for its behavior. unfair trade practices, sponsorship of genocide -- as you know we talk specifically about the uighur population. i am a sponsor of the uighur policy act. china's uighur population is in a genocide. these are things we need to bring to life and really keep china accountable. as for the proposed alliance, there are years of goodwill. these are two countries -- united states and south korea. we stare a strong bond, and we value the strength of that relationship. we should recognize that in the face of those who seek to undermine those values. i am sure you have additional thoughts. rep. bera: yes. playing off of congresswoman kim, there is a message that we certainly need to deliver to the koreans, which i think is how the koreans are looking at it, is not a question of the united states and chin

state is unequivocal. i continue to believe that a two-state solution is the best way to ensure israel's future as a jewish democratic state, living in peace alongside of viable sovereign and democratic palestinian state. we are a long way from that goal at this moment. but we must never allow ourselves to give up on the possibility of progress. we cannot give up on solving raging civil conflicts, including in ethiopia and yemen. we are fighting between warring parties is driving famine, horrific violence, human rights violations against civilians, including answer constant use of rape as a weapon of war. we'll continue to work with international community to press for peace and bring an end to this suffering. as we pursue diplomacy across the board, the united states will champion the democratic values that go to the very heart of who we are as a nation and people. freedom, equality, opportunity, and a belief in the universal rights of all people. it's stamped into our d.n.a. as a nation, and critically i

of course, state violence as it's used by states, right? it's supposed to be morally superior and 2006 or something along the lines of, you know, i basically, i can entertain that where anything like both terrorists, because they kill women and children. how many women, women, and children has the united states killed? and so the problem is when the united states considers its violence more moral and just moral in general, it allows it to justify and legitimize massive states while it ok mama, i'm going to share the conversation with you with your, your cope. harness. kimberly, go ahead. well i, i fully agree, i mean, and this was to the point i was making earlier. is that what we've seen the war on terror due by the united states going in with, you know, with murdering with impunity? it's, we've seen the rise of other types of extremist groups. for example, in iraq, we saw the rise of islamic state, and the united states continues even as joe biden has just said that afghan stan has wrapped up. it hasn't wrapped up because what still going

but more than 2,500 people remain on state, federal and military death rows across the united states. kimberly davis, i know this is a hard time. it is 10 years later but it brings you right back to that moment that your brother was killed by the state of georgia. even as so many, including the pope, begged for a reprieve, including the republican congress member in the area, including rmer death row prison commissioners. your thoughts today? kimberly: my oughts today, just looking back over the 10 years. we've come a long way. like troy said, this didn't start with him and it will come after him and wanted us to continue to fight. he says with the injustice, we need to stand up and make sure our voices are heard. we need to sta up against injustice. there is so much we n see on the media and in th news but one thing we know, we can stand -- we will demolish the death penalty one state at a time. we were thinking back over the past year on how we have been able to just get out and mobilize. one thing to mobilize but another thing to organize. wi my brothers case, we had so many people

a united states state, and this guy, senator groonen, was a kind of hard-nosed realist and he was doing a kind of a cost-benefit analysis and his critique was, don't get it, why does it make sense for the united states to spend blood and treasure going to vietnam. there was no moral critique. there was no moral issue about the meaning of americanness. it didn't add up for him. but again, these are two senators. there is almost no visible critique as johnson launches what would become an american war in vietnam. there were a few other voices, a few public voices that raised questions, mostly from that realist perspective, does this add up, morgan, a guy for the state department, with the united states, in the academic community, he raised those issues, walter litman, a famous columnist, making pronouncements about american policy by the this time for some 50 years, he raised some questions, he also critiqued this as a really just not a reasonable solution to america's interests in asia. but otherwise, remember, there's a kind of consensus. it's an election here in '64. johnson and goldwa

this is the best parish in the state. we have now visited the vast majority, but not all of the parishes that have been so devastated by hurricane ida. i will tell you, it does not get any easier, seeing the devastation the storm has brought. whether you are in grand isle or you come up this way. today, we found out that they were, at least before i left baton rouge early this morning, nine deaths in the northeast caused by ida. as it turns out, the current confirmed death toll in louisiana from hurricane ida is also nine. i will get into that in just a moment. today, we were able to meet with local officials in st. bernard , plaquamines, and tag pahoa parish. i want to thank president miller and their entire team for their hard work, all of the first responders, all the nonprofit organizations, the faith-based community, you name it. this is a team effort. i want to thank our team members at the state level as well. i think we are the best in the business, and that's because we get too much business in disaster response.

we welcome the state department's support. we actually received some of that support when we were in this bordering country once we were kind of on that 99 yard line. i think the amazing guys i have been able to be on this team with -- i don't lead this team. i am not the organizers but i am a member of this team. what we have been able to do here i think sets the white paper, the proof of concept that with a little bit of help from the u.s. government i think it's joint kind of public/private partnership could help these americans to get out. >> corey, a couple of things. because you did it over land which i was just talking to the other vets who were doing that. they are like, that's so hard. it's so much easier to get them to a place to fly them out. for all the obvious challenges that are absolutely common sense to you. now, the state department's side of the argument is, listen, we want to do everything we can, but what if corey mills or your buddy sam rogers or these other groups are smuggling out isis people or people w

and state legislative districts. states have wide latitude in how they go about is process. the vast majority rely on politicians to draw districts. but since 2010, a growing number of stas, including michigan, have created independent commissions, designed to take this process out of the hands of politicians. in a state that's deeply divided politically, it's a radical experiment in trying to create more fair legislative districts. newshour weekend's christopher booker repts. >> the motion to amend the resolution-- please raise your has and say aye. >> reporter: drawing legislative maps is a process that h traditionally been done behind closed doors, in proverbial dark, smoke-filled rooms, by the very politicians who will run in those districts. >> the motion to amend the resolution is adopted. >> reporter: but for the first time here in michigan, redistricting is happening under bright fluorescent lights for anyone to see, in person, or anywhere in the world online. and the process is entrusted to 13 ordinary michi

and the will of individual states. and states like texas have long been a thorn in the side of washington. which just wants to ruin peace and impose this agenda without being questioned all the time. but the pesky jackson's keep opposing federal initiatives. latest case in point, texas is now suing the equal employment opportunity commission, which insist that l g b. c workers should be allowed to address, however, they want and use whatever bathrooms they want. if the budget administration thinks they can for states to comply with their political agenda, my office will fight against the radical attempt of social change. these back door attempts to force businesses including the state of texas to align with their beliefs unacceptable. according to texas attorney general ken paxton, the federal initiative cannot be applied in texas because apparently, as he says it is based on a misinterpretation of current legislation. but while all those debates go on regular people and businesses, phil don't know which guidelines to

it depends state by state and that can get complicated. often planning boards can be given more legal tools. we are looking at tools in zoning laws that can be used to protect wetlands, open space, or arable land for agriculture. all of those lies that help planning boards and zoning boards to defend those and guide development to areas that are less risky. >> jennifer -- host: jennifer sent this text from new jersey. i am an insurance agent and we sell private flood insurance. it is new coming into the market and is pretty affordable, just not backed by the government. guest: i think it's great private insurance companies are getting involved. thank you for pointing that out. i don't want people to think that they don't offer this, but so many homeowners are not aware. they assume that their homeowners insurance will cover floods when it does not. it often has to be a separate policy. if you're counting on homeowners insurance to cover flood damage, don't count on that. have a dedicated flood policy. host: let's hear from michael in morri

we've seen state after state republican legislatures and governors pass bills and sign into law those restricting the opportunity to vote. i don't think ballot harvesting, as you know, the only person that has been tried and consisted nor ballot harding was a republican in north carolina, i don't think ballot harvesting is good, bad or indifferent. we know that if more people vote in california, newsome will win. it's that hely a democratic state. >> martha: it is. that's true. i think the debate is over, you know, having a vote that is done correctly and no room for error. >> agree. >> martha: that serves everybody across the board. tomi, what do you think about the voting rules in effect in california and also was ast just mentioned in claudia's reporting that a lot of covid checks went out before this as well. >> yeah, that was gavin's last attempt to convince californians that he's on their side. if you've been paying attention, that's not the case. something in california that bothered me that concerned me is voter fraud. it's something that needs to be discussed and looked into.

vaccination rate 49% in those states. 57% in the states that are not suing the president. that tells a story. they are exalting liberty over life. this notion that we don't have a responsibility to ourselves and our family and innocent people to step forward is exactly the point that was being made by candace ayers' family. we do. we bear that responsibility, and we should accept it. mr. president, since june, the average rates of covid infections in the 24 states threatening to sue biden have been double the rates of covid infection in other 26 states. covid death rates in those states have been nearly three times worse than the rest of the country. these reckless political actions have deadly real-world consequences. president biden's actions are reasonable, they are necessary, and a majority of the american people believe it. politicians hoping to gin up their base by suing the president should stop and start fighting the virus instead of the president's ambitions to bring this pandemic to an end. the sooner we do that, the sooner we could end this pandemic once and for

yes, i'm at the state farm. it could couldn't be bothered to come down here and see congress are right. that's great. this administration's bungle pull out from afghanistan just may be the worst foreign affairs disaster in american history. and that's a failure on you either to plan or you had a horrible plan, simply put, i do not wish you. i'm not simply doing what you said. i don't wish to hear your installation of intelligence. when you stare it front of the camera and not let you know your lives of the intelligence yourself or your life, all the us deadline to quit afghan us down, expired last month, bringing america the longest. that war to close, the pentagon withdrew the taliban rapidly, took over, sparking chaos with thousands of afghans trying to flee the country. a throughout the biden administration insisted that things were going fine, but the white house, it's fine to get a harder to maintain that narrative about the senior correspondent morale guys. b, i propose, next from cobble it was largely a p

state to investigate attica suddenly out of press conference had the state has been lying the whole time. he was a conservative republican , wrote a book called "the turkey trot," and we started communicating and he was giving us chapter and verse. one of theost significant things about this beyond just attica because atca is all us has become a motto -- every time i talk about attica, there's someone who minds become of these men had committed serious crimes and was dangerous, etc. the irony is people convicted of serious crimes. they went into an atmosphere that nurtured the very behavior that g them in there. there was nothing in attica or much of the prison system around the country th gay pple and opportunity to confront why they arehere and what they could do to lessen the possibility when they go back to their communities. and attica was, as tyrone -- tyrone should be thanked for continuing to be a voice for those who are no longer here to tell the story -- that you don't go into pla and be given one roll of toilet paper a month and feel discussing about yourself when you're going

i was the secretary of state. but in russia, dmitry medvedev, who was the deputy prime minister, was also the chairman of gas perlm. so state and policy and fortunes all linked up together. by the way, with a fair amount of political violence too. now that mr. putin has decided that he is the once and future president of russia, i think the chances that russia is going to break out of that and build on other strengths that it might have, including a very smart population, those have receded. i think unfortunately, russia will not find greater strength in the international economy. it's pretty much an economy that's dependent on the price of oil to do well. >> let me go back to the arab spring. what do you think the lessons are? >> the lesson of the arab spring is authoritarianism is not stable. it's simply not stable. if men, women and children don't have a way to change their circumstances, and change their government peacefully, they will do it violently. when we were in romania, we learned of something that i n

united states objectives here would have got to start. there are those who are celebrating 911 again. we have seen multiple fly works also over the last several days, the taliban has announced the new government with, with many of the officials nominated by the taliban to leave this new slab mc emory of got to stop. there will form a guantanamo. it may set for autumn inmates as well as other people who have bounties, who have american dieties on their heads. many people more than a dozen at international terrorists, the tide about his obviously foes emboldened by military success. how quickly i took over the country. it has made no compromise in its it's roaster for the new government. so there was speculation that perhaps the type of bad would include minorities would include women and it's new governments as i get a quote from us to the west, west and above. no such thing. what we're seeing is a government that was in power. on the day before the us invaded i, they have the same organization though i must say, a different shape of talib

we have no problem working with the united states government. and unless it does not work for the government, then i think we have a big problem. there have been a case when some americans are question that a, you know, well thank having those occasion was not in connection with i think that there was a substantial shadow government trying to run foreign affairs united states. these events have been characterized by some pretty strong statements. we've heard talk of a grave constitutional crisis and even been treated to talk about a cool and winehouse. not only does cheney sort of defend around contra, but he argues that iran, contra is actually a model for how the u. s. should be conducting its national security policy. he is a radical subscriber to this notion of the unitary executive effectively. what you're doing is saying on certain parts of american policy, we don't have a democracy. we have a dictatorship. as a matter of fact, i was very definitely involved in the decisions about support to the freedom fighters. my idea to begin with. in

[gavel slams] united states.

>> priscilla thompson in what could be a preview of quite a few states and quite a few bordering state issues, depending on what other states do in the coming months. thank you. >>> coming up, just days after the last u.s. troops left afghanistan, the remains of two fallen soldiers in the kabul blast are heading home. we have a report from the pentagon next. you're watching "meet the press" daily. ily. hey, get your own vapors relax with vicks vapobath or with vicks vaposhower. take a soothing vicks vapo moment wherever you chose. wealth is breaking ground on your biggest project yet. worth is giving the people who build it a solid foundation. wealth is shutting down the office for mike's retirement party. worth is giving the employee who spent half his life with you, the party of a lifetime. wealth is watching your business grow. worth is watching your employees grow with it. principal. for all it's worth. hey, i just got a text from my sister. you remember rick, her neighbor? sure, he's the 76-year-old guy who still runs marathons, right? sadly, not anymore. wow. so sudden. um, we're

there are about a dozen states that have individual laws for their states for agricultural protections. but on the whole, there's still no federal protection. so that is in many ways framing this discussion. we talk about agricultural workers, we have to recognize they are working with fewer protections than industrial workers, okay, in our food system. this brings me to california, which is really the iconic place. i just show this image. this is dorothea lange. not only is she famous for this image and her images of the depression but she goes on to become an extremely important photographer documenting farm labor in california in the 1930s. so i want to begin by talking about california in particular and farm work. we're going to talk about both the rise of agricultural labor in california as well as what will become known as the bracero program. california to this day, some of the largest sort of agricultural industries in the country. are any of you from california? only a few of you. you think about the imperial valley. this is still where we have large, large numbers of farm wor

and what was going on in terms of the united states, the tobacco part. some of the questions in the tone of the questioning today is really political theater. and you can, you can kind of watch it on both sides. it's more entertaining than it is revealing . we blame trump for everything. we don't see signs that i assessed the situation 8 months ago, let's say in january, let's say at the end of january when he took power. it didn't seem like he was really assessing what he had been left by the previous administration. and that's the duty of all presidents as they tread for power. so he can blame trump. i don't think it's, it's really valid. in this case, archie looks into the stories of those who have suffered during the us led war on terror. can our special investigative project on heard voices? in our latest reports, we talk to those, forced to leave afghanistan after the disastrous pentagon pull out the we'll use all tools at our disposal and killed our children to united states. we're bringing people to watch a site. it was a pointless exercise we he

they don't want to war, but united states, i don't think united states wants a war with them. they know what the ultimate consequence of that could be, that they want to continue to bully their way through the china is building and the united states is bombing now. they just lost. they had to leave. afghanistan was never, there's to lose. they, in their parlance, they've lost have dentist and that's a key piece for the chinese belt remote initiative. so as they pull out of that, china continues to bring in the rest of the world around infrastructure and development and not to say george had some good critiques of try. there's no question about that. but the united states has to join in this world and join as an equal partner with others. and i, and until they do that, we're all our trouble. we're in a lot of a dangerous situation where things can get out of hand in the south china sea in particular, but there still flash 4 inch in, in europe as well. still. so this is a situation that us people, i think it's in their hands to pressure their government. i'm not expecting that t

member states meet their stated emissions cuts. that's far beyond the 1.5 degree goal of the paris climate accord and would mean a massive loss of lives and livelihoods, with whole ecosystems collapsing amid deadly heat waves, powerful storms, and rising sea levels. on friday, president biden unveiled a plan by the u.s. and europe to cut global methane emissions by 30% by the end of the decade. pres. biden: i am working to pass the stork investment to modernize our climate resilient infrastructure, to build a clean energy future that creates millions of jobs and ushers in new industries of the future. as part of this work, the u.s. is committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions between 50% to 52% low 2005 levels by the year 2030. amy: but it's unclear if biden's pledges will be possible given the ongoing obstruction of democrats' infrastructure and climate plans by republicans and conservative democrats like joe manchin, chair of the energy panel and the largest senate recipient of campaign donations from the oil, coal, and gas in
