glenn young kim listens -- young kin listens. parents matter. host: that is the glenn youngkin at. let's look at them a call about. >> when i heard about glenn youngkin wanting to ban books by prominent black authors it scared me. we know what this is about. it is the same politics we saw from donald trump meant to divide us. it has no place in our schools and no place in virginia. let's choose a better way. host: larry sabato, whatever the population thinks of that issue, have the top into a lot of -- an issue that has made a lot of headlines nationwide? guest: you actually showed one of the least effective glenn youngkin ads. it probably backfired because more information came out about the woman who was in the ad. and her son, who works for a republican committee and was in the trump white house briefly. it just did not work. that is why it disappeared almost immediately. on the more general issue, because of a gaffe mcauliffe made in the second debate saying that parents should not be telling schools what to teach, the mother ads -- some other ads the glenn youngkin campaign ha

>> congresswoman kim, thank you for the question. i think we should defer to experts for the details, but i know that based on two meetings with the advisory committee, the crack's have appeared recently. they are quite small. they look like scratches on the surface of the aluminum plate. the plate itself is very thin, but the material is quite ductile. that allows it to resist, basically, flaws like cracks. i have been in the factory where the smog was made, and i may have seen -- where the smog you will was made, -- where this module was made, and i may have seen the cracks. they do not understand why these cracks are appearing now. there are half a dozen of them. they are quite small. we have assessed that the link they would need to grow to to be a serious problem, they are well short of that, but we know there are probably other cracks we have not found yet. i am just saying that getting to the bottom of this is a fairly serious issue. i do not think this station is in any immediate danger, but before we clear the station for an

kim -- represented of kim needs to unmute. >> i wanted to thank both of our cochairs for hosting this important hearing to discuss the challenges facing civil and political rights in hong kong. since the imposition of the national security law by the people's republic of china in may 2020, protections for individual rights, the free press, and democratic institutions in hong kong have deteriorated very rapidly. this law and its vacant undefined language targeting subversion, terrorism, and inclusion with foreign entities has brought with it a sense of fear and self-censorship to the people and institutions of hong kong. hong kong police arrested 10 people on the first day after implementation alone and charged six political activists with inciting secession and colluding with forces including samuel to who is with us today. since then, over 150 people have been arrested and dozens of leaders to prison terms of six to 18 months for peacefully protesting. the press has also been silenced. the new york times moving its entire digital operation from hong kong. even long-standing instituti

i will only say that special envoy sung kim's conversations have been constructive and we may have somewhat different perspectives on the sequence, timing for different steps but we are fundamentally align those opposed, no core tra steejic niche ty here and on the belief that only through diplomacy are we really going to truly make progress and that that diplomacy has to be effectively paired with edeterrence. thoap specific issue you raised i don't want to get into it publicly. i will only say we're going to continue the intensive conversations. reporter: on afghanistan i'm wondering what you are hoping to get out of the g-20 discussions on afghanistan and talk a little bit about, there's a sense that russia and china have been blocking efforts led in part by the united states to deliver humanitarian aid without involving the taliban government. jake: the g-20 had a leaders meet big video conference on china a couple of weeks ago. it's not one of the core agenda items when we go. the president will obviously be able to consult with others to see how we can effectively get aid to the peopl

you might be mcalpine young kim, and i feel that way, but i think it will be the race. glenn juncker and is the republican nominee, someone from the business world. donald trump did poorly in virginia, particularly the second time he lost in 2020, which ended up being the biggest democratic when for president in virginia since the lyndon johnson landslide. i think that overstates a little bit how democratic virginia is. it has definitely become a left of center state at this point. i think junking has appeal to republican voters in northern virginia. i think this is a closing competitive race, a race that often brace against the white house. it is pretty common for the party that does not hold the white house to end up winning this race after the presidential race. that means it gets a lot of national attention. so many political commentators and operatives live in virginia and i think that also causes a little more focus to be on it. host: how terry mcauliffe has run this race, what will it mean if he wins? guest: he started by clearly embracing joe biden then i think

july 27, 2018, following a summit between then-president donald trump and north korean supreme leader kim jung un, north korea returned 55 boxes that contained the remains of u.s. service members killed during the korean war. on march 25, 2021, raymond's family finally received closure when his remains were finally identified and accounted for after 71 unbearable years for his family. raymond's remains were returned to new york city where his sister, helen, her children, a full u.s. military honor guard, and the port authority police were there to welcome him home. i wanted to take this time today to ensure raymond's memory lives on and his sacrifices will not be forgotten. currently, there are more than 81,600 americans that remain missing from world war ii, the korean war, and vietnam, the cold war, the gulf wars, and other conflicts. let this give us hope that we return them all home, and i urge the administration and my colleagues to work toward the return of all prisoners of war and a full accounting and the repatriation of our fallen service members' remains. thank you. the speaker

the chair recognizes esther kim from new jersey for five minutes. >> thank you. ms. caldwell, i want to start with you. i wanted to ask you what does he but administration major of success for this? >> thank you so much for that question. first and foremost as i alluded to in my opening statement, the primary goal is to increase global ambition and action on climate change because the existing commission under these are insufficient to keep global warming to a 1.5 degree or less. special on carey and his team at state have been very actively involved of course in those global negotiations. i think they have achieved some early but still, too modest bits in terms of urging china and its ambitions. there have been recent and -- discussions with indonesia and as we head in, i think part of the reason that president biden made the commitment that he did to increase climate finance to 11.4 william per year in 2024 is that the u.s. has fallen far behind. in providing climate finance necessary to enable the many countries around the world. >> what will you do -- but would y

obama and david kim, the former chairman of the committee. on the top individual side, we proposed successfully 39.6 and if we want to have a long discussion about the salt deduction it was the salt deduction that complicated the top rate being cut to 37.5% largely because secretary mnuchin, in many conversations with me, he assured me time and again they would not cut the previous administration the top individual rate. he called me and he said i want to apologize to you profusely. he said when we saw what the salt deduction turned out to be we had to cut the top rate. the idea that these are all easily done, in the tax world, i think mr. brady would agree with this even if he didn't agree with me in a philosophic tone, it's like squeezing toothpaste with the cap on. some of these things are altered. that's the reality. our best intentions are sometimes offtarget. but we do include tax buyback we provide a minimum international corporate texas of 15%. those are the most substantial changes. smaller change on the adjusted gross income we take
