the piece that does diversity training, the piece that is reflected in the works of robin d'angelo. they sort of just get on board and enfolded into their hrem processes and they are sort of attempts to build corporate culture. that is what you see all over now. the odd thing is we had to earlier caller asking about the place of evangelical religion in america and the separation of church and state. there is also the question of how business relates to religion. you have various points where, you know, business seems very secular and materialistic and various points where they take on some elements of religious culture. in the 1950s, you had sort of in the cold war era, and inflation of american capitalism and christianity. now you have it on the left of sort of corporate culture, especially silicon valley where, with, you know, semi- religious progressive ideology where, you know, the corporation will stage a land acknowledgment where they talk about how the land is being held from a native american tribe rightht before they, you know, get into their third-quarter strict teacher gr

like kind of corporate anti-racist trainings that you hear so much about come often straight out of robin d'angelo's work or other work like hers. a lot of pushes to do away with or revised gifted academics and standards i think are connected to the argument in kendi's work, that those kind of programs themselves are effectively racist, they're not sort of revealing differences, they're creating differences so they need to be done away with. and all of that is stuff that i fundamentally disagree with and i think is taking a, again, similar to what i said in answer to the last caller, i think there's a generally admirable desire to make america a more equal society and to sort of do more justice to the particularities of the black experience with progressive energy right now, but to the extent the way it catches out is through, you know, corporate anti-racism training or doing away with, you know, gifted education programs, or calculus requirements in california schools, or talking a lot about, like toxic whiteness to third or fourth graders. i'm just really skeptical that that is going to

american corporations would much rather construct diversity programs andhe training along the lines of robin d'angelo suggested white fragility then subjected to bernie's sanders style tax break there is a way for corporations to say we are progressives don't tax us. we have antiracist training programs to divide the left and those corporations working hand in hand to prevent the economic left from raising the corporate income tax rate too high. that is the most cynical reading is not the only thing going on that one of them definitely. >> as a fellow harvard alarm why does he allow himself to appear before yale what is that connection with the school? it was the only studio available in a new haven anytime we could do a video uplink interview is a good day so we have made progress to an actual studio with great audio hopefully next time in person do you have any connection? >> yes the texture would be even more disappointed to hear that not only have i keep my harvard background by appearing before the yale backdrop but even co- taught a couple of classes since returning to new haven. i did

they would portray themselves as modern day robin hoods stealing from the rich to give to the poor. strange that it's really just the opposite. they talk about the wealthy paying their fair share and giving working families free programs, but the reality of the situation is far different from the picture they paint and the wealthiest americans stand to reap big benefits under this legislation. for example, democrats have included a provision that will allow millionaires and billionaires in blue states to pay less in federal taxes. as the headline notes, this handout comes with a big price tag. $285 billion in tax breaks for the wealthiest americans. it's more expensive than the clean energy and climate provisions in their bill, more expensive than paid family leave, more expensive than the combined cost of the child tax credit and home base services. and there's no denying that the beneficiaries of this alter expensive -- ultraexpensive provision are the wealthiest americans. according to the tax policy center, about 70% of the benefit goes to the top 5% of wage earners. 70% goes to

charisma of a hollywood actor and you know if you see him in films you'll you know, my students all think robin williams is theodore roosevelt from the movie a night at the museum and there of course, he is a man of action, but there's so many films about theodore roosevelt many of which include that rough rider image the cowboy on horseback storming up a san juan hill or something like that. so, yeah, absolutely and the charisma he knew roosevelt in his own lifetime the power of motion pictures and he tried to capture that essence in in many ways. and he was a man of the time it was such a period of change. absolutely. i mean the introduction of airplanes submarines motion pictures. in fact come in during his is time at the white house. so this is a remarkable period of changing he seems to be really the first modern president because he understands that capturing the imagination of the american people is really a pr exercise and he needs to reach out to them in order to get congress to do something or in order to you know, extend american power throughout the world. so roosevelt is a revoluti

to know more want to get to this because this is so important and much has been made about stock in robin hood and all of that, what are you doing to protect investors and our security systems second, what can and must congress do to stop this? make it a felony, we've got to get this can protect our financial system is the heart and soul and this is our investment, our stock market that must be held away from this so what can we do to put strong measures and to stop this behavior? >> the game stop has numerous issues, some of which are in plumbing and infrastructure but you are at another level. whether there were things congress can do to address the challenges there. what we are doing is three or four different projects trying to shorten the clearing cycles, we put out for comment to the public to weigh in on of digital practices -- >> my time is getting short here but i do want to say, i've asked my staff to put together a bill that we can have strong enforcement sensors in will not allow a social media platform on this foundation of our great nation. our stock exchange. you and i both

and so i looked over and i said, it was robin, it was robert gibbs -- [laughs] and it was like, no more picking on robert! you have those moments when you are on your trip. there are times when you all cry together. or you had a serious conversation about where you will be sending u.s. troops. these are things that allow you to come back, and trust each other with the debate. and again, having that moment with you, and i'm going to disagree with, you but i will disagree, with you respectfully. i think those trips were, very, very important. not the least of which is, to bear witness to what goes on in the world, and to bring it back. i know there are people who have a tendency to brag that they didn't have a passport. but when you are elected to the u.s. house of representatives, or the senate, you call the president a leader of the free world. it's nice to be able to get to know places outside the united states, in order to make appropriate decisions. >> this is just a wrap up question. because, when you served, there was relatively so few women in congress, at that time. do you feel t
