change if you had a magic wand so when it comes to policy or thathe like to start with mehran and then robin and close with jeremy. >> it's a great question marietje and the thing i would focus on moving the locus of agency from being all about individual choice and thinking about what is collectively possible of what they mean by that is oftentimes the question around engaging with technology and what choices people have estimated the individual level. you have the opportunity to use a particular app or not use a nap or to reuse an app to you may have privacy settings on a particular application or in your web browser and what kind of information you are giving out but that places all at the onus the individual to have to try to protect things you care about in the bigger question here is can we actually have a system that helps individual? we don't just put people in cars and say drive safely and if you are worried about driving safely then don't drive. that gives people a choice because there's real value in diving. we. a whole set of infrastructure. they are things like lanes and traffic

capitol historical society this and robin rebecca bronze robbers heirs of two prominent political families explain the tactics in a play, your guide to changing the world. >> the first think that she doesn't get this idea of a parade down pennsylvania avenue, celebratory parade read i'm sure you've seen this picture but this idea of taking a cause, and march on washington. that was the best idea. and it's also common that we just think of it as a traffic headache but it was never been done before in this like the idea of a march through the corridors of the central washington it from the legislative branch of the executive branch and that was her idea and in 1913 read, which i will talk about at great length since giving us an opportunity some going to restrain myself because we have a lot to cover today. did not go at all as planned so again an event those planned out to last minute but his massive crowd and walks up pennsylvania avenue pretty this is about 13th street you can see the capitol the background a large billing in the right and the post office and trump tower and it's really g

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

and you specifically cited two books, robin deangelo's white fragility and ibram kendi's how to be an anti-racist. why those two books? >> guest: well, in art because those books -- in part because those books between them sold approximately 1.2 zillion copies -- the. [laughter] in the summer of 2020 in, you know, the period around the george floyd protests. but i think there is a sort of, they represent how a certain kind of progressive ideology on race catches out in practice in views on public policy, in views on sort of how we should deal with racism like kind of corporate anti-racist trainings that you hear so much about come often straight out of robin deangelo's work or other work like hers. a lot of the push is to, you know, sort of do away with or revise education and academic standards, i think, are connected to the argument in ibram kendi's work that, you know, those kind of programs are themselves effectively racist. they're sort of, you know, they aren't just sort of revealing differences, dlairting differences -- they're creating differences and so they need to be done a

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

and you specifically cited two books, robin deangelis white fertility and how to be an anti- race - why those two books. preventing student will in parts because those books between them sold approximately 1.2 salient copies. i was in the summer of 2020, and you know that. around the george floyd protest. they represent how a certain kind of progressive ideology on race, how to practice in the use of public policies, and views on assorted how we should deal with racism like kind of a corporate antiracist a training freighted that you hear too much about and often straight out of robin dn entered d'angelo's work for lakers and a lot of the pushes to you know, sort of do away with the revised education academic standard and i think to the argument that programs are themselves •-ellipsis you know the revealing differences that are creating differences in any way with an all business display with a desire to make america a more equal society and deserve justice experience in this shows up in the certified progressive energy right now but to the extent that the ashes is through you know. w

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

and so robin mentioned you do not ask chuck schumer to write the forward to the book . you guys didn't ask anybody. there is no forwardhere . >> that's because we didn't ask anybody. >> year out if you were to have a new forward or a new afterword, what would that be? what was it like to add with hindsight? >> i'll defer to you. this book is is complete to me as it could possibly be. >> i think the book works really well as a snapshot of that time and i don't even need a lot of hindsight. as it is, i think it works to evoke emotions in the reader. if it works so i don't think it requires any reframing or re-bracketing. not right now. but yeah, that's what i'd say. >> as someone who read it and loved it i agree. i was just curious if you felt now there was something missing but i certainly didn't think about. >> i would rewrite every single sentence because i see all the flaws in it. but no, we were new we were happy with the book. >> these last 48 hours are any indication of success of this book, at least in my world, in my healthcare world, two things came about. first

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

robin and i extend our heart fel condolences to his children and grandchildren and to stephanie his wife and all those who knew him. mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. barrasso: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from wyoming. mr. barrasso: are we in a quorum call at this point? the presiding officer: no. mr. barrasso: i come to the floor today to oppose the democrats taxing-and-spending spree. on capitol hill president biden came to meet with democrats. before he got here, economists sounded the alarm once again about the economy our nation is facing under president biden. economic growth slowed to just 2%. now, this is the slowest its been since the post-pandemic recovery began. this was also significantly lower than even the experts expected. so there was a disconnect. it was really low and even lower than they expected. growth is slowing down, hiring is slowing down, and shelves are empty all across america. we have a growing supply chain nightmare. prices continue to go up. i heard about it all across the state of wyoming this past weekend. so what did president bi
