greenville, knox white is his name. underscoring the bipartisan support for the clean energy and for structure investment in the american jobs plan. during the visit today the president will make three stops around the manufacturing plant and speak to employees about different aspects of the companies work, including battery installation, body assembly and final inspections of the buses and the american jobs plan includes a total of $45 billion to accelerate the adoption of zero emission transit buses and school buses to achieve the president's goal for all us-made buses to be zero emissions by 2030. this includes 25,000,000,040 emissions transit vehicles and 20 billion for electric school buses. there are currently 475,000 yellow school buses and that sounds like a lot to me but serve 25 million children n-95% of them are powered by diesel and there are nearly 85000 transit vehicles, including buses that still run on diesel or gas which can lead to asthma

and other health problems that hurt our communities. replacing these buses will create good jobs, support of a sick manufacturing, tackle a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and improve the health for many around the country. also this morning the covid coordinator had his weekly call with governors and announced that this week 28 million doses will go out across channels but the vast majority going to jurisdictions and this is consistent with last week's allocation and he also reminded the governors the there a significant amount of vaccine supply in the system and in the federal government stands ready to help get the shots in arms as quickly as possible. >> thank you, jen. a few minutes ago the oval office the president spoke about the -- and he says quote, i am praying he did the right thing and i think it's overwhelming in

my view. couple of questions if we could start there. what precisely does the president mean, what is overwhelming and does this mean the president thanks the police officer should be convicted on all accounts? >> he's been watching the trial closely as many americans had then and has also been moved by and he was moved by his conversations with the family yesterday. ... the jury is sequestered which is why he spoke this but i will expect that he will plan more further went there is a verdict and are going to provide additional analysis pretty. >> we clarified was overwhelming opened and evidenced by the prosecution pretty. >> what are going to get ahead of malcolm and expect the verdict and he will have more to say pretty. >> and as you say, the president made a note that the jury was

sequestered. but the minneapolis around the country to hear what he said. we know there are worries about unrest. are you concerned as he hopes the right verdict is not reached brightest in the full cost i that regardless of the outcome, the president has called for peace persistently in a focus as we are working with the state and local authorities, is on providing the space for peaceful protest. that will be consistent regardless of what the outcome of this verdict is pretty. >> and one minus. the judge in the case is pretty asking the public to not plan on the narrative. is there concerned that the president's comments could be groundless on appeal. >> i think those mark, is the judgment yesterday and again the

jury is sequestered. which the president also noted in his comments. he certainly is not looking to influence when he has been touched by the impact on the family and he called them yesterday and have a discussion and get a expect he will wait and further once there is a verdict. just a follow-up, the president's talked about the judiciary, why is there a conference to april the verdict. kennedy center i don't think he would see it is minyan on the verdict. it was conveying what many people are feeling across the country which is compassion for the family, what a difficult time this is and what a difficult time this is for many americans across the country who have been watching this trial closely. in the jury is sequestered and that is different from what the judges yesterday and he noted that in his comments as well pretty. reporter: he did call for.

[inaudible]. the characterization before the jury. [inaudible]. >> we are going to wait for the jury to come to their conclusion and that is when he will have more extensive remarks about the outcome. reporter: the president has been very clear in the rhetoric that he sees is adding to a climate of discourse. incident double standard to not to speak out against the comments about nancy waters even if she was . psaki: first i would say that the congresswoman has provided further clarification of her own remarks that was certainly pointed to that. and if we are looking in the scenario, were looking at a family who has lost someone predict they just watch the train releasing the video played over and over and over again. families across the country watch the trial, watch the video played over and over again clearly the impact is, and the

exhaustion is on communities of color around the country more than it is on others in the president recognizes that an extremely painful issue and of course sympathizes with everyone who feels the grief of george floyd's passing as well as so many other people of color at the hands of law enforcement. i think having a conversation with the family yesterday, i someone who has been through, himself, is a big part of their conversation as i believe that george floyd's brother also conveyed. you feel it deeply your heart and i think that his comments were a reflection of that pretty. >> faculty, there's a lot of focus on the george floyd legislation passed. and if it passes through the house what is a standard will they moved that effort up in terms of the priority particularly as he approaches his - >> first i would say that addressing policing across the country. psaki: undressing when he feels

of racial justice when feels is one of the four major crises for facing our country continues to be a top priority for the president. and certainly moving the george floyd bill forward through the senate, the president would be eager to have that happen and eager to sign the bill into law and is not only kept abreast of it, he remains engaged with his team here. reporter: . [inaudible]. >> mask about the presidents view on reopening the schools and have the majority of the schools opened at least one day a week and if so, is that goal and do the worries without more of an outbreak tied to the variance of the virus printed. psaki: are both amazing of the majority of schools open five days a week. and that is certainly something that is being led effort by our secretary of education. and they have been providing

regular updates so we look at these numbers on a month-to-month basis and we remain confident that we can reach that goal. also because of the cdc, steps that they could put out publicly like months ago, maybe weeks ago it is more accurate to say pretty we know this measures are effective and they can help mitigate risk and schools are department of education and also of course, is looking at working closely with the schools and limiting those ensuring kids can be saved that remain confident about her path of reaching that goal. reporter: so the progress so far, you concerned about the goal getting closer than it will drag into the fall. [inaudible]. psaki: absolutely and remain something that is secretary of education is leading the effort on. the last entity in the data that we have seen was from february a belief because of the reporting requirements show that there was an increased number of schools that were open and also increased number of schools that were open five days a week. we feel we are on the right track. and we seek mitigation measures

including wearing masks and including taking steps to provide social distancing opportunities in the money that is going out the door to school districts that need that assistance are going to help us continue to make progress pretty. >> with president roger, it is the call of governors today as you know, the production of j&j has been relying of the changes now no longer citing. [inaudible]. and as of june, there are sanguine printed how does this affect the presence goal of the availability of those shots that led them to say that by the end of may. what is the current goal and you think that will be online. [inaudible]. psaki: of course that will be the supreme the question will require fda approval. there's many a party to determine what is next as a relates to j&j. hopefully will learn for them. we will see. but our goal, weight remain

confident in our ability to meet the needs that we feel will be out there in the public by the end of may. and we will have another vaccine for every american on the end of july. without j&j that is based on the supply that we have ordered from nikita mitchell and pfizer and as you probably seen, they've also announced that they are going to work on expediting their own manufacturing and delivery of their vaccine sprayed some are confident that we can meet the demand in the public and now every american over 16 is eligible to receive the vaccine that are focus is on encouraging people to get shots in arms pretty. >> there was work yesterday in the journal considering reducing the amount of nicotine that can be in cigarettes. and also restricting mental cigarettes altogether. is that something you could update us on on whether the administration favors these positions. psaki: i mean, report, no policy previous proposals of preview

today. we will review a range of policy actions in line with the presence public health goals. to reiterate, there's no policy proposals are decisions to review today pretty. reporter: one more question. the house mccarthy inciting violence and the judge estimate calling and saying that she was being disrespectful of a rule of law. i just between here. does the white house condone it the congresswoman's congress benefit, sprayed it. psaki: first of all the congresswoman clarified her own comments pretty what i can do is speak for the president's view which is it's important to provide a space and an opportunity to people to protest the protesting to be peaceful. and is been advocated for the will regard to the outcome of the trial. >> he was calling up on protesters for. [inaudible]. psaki: enter additional comments right.

[inaudible]. psaki: additional clarification. reporter: in the middle of this trial everybody knows could lead to more violence and. psaki: again i can speak to the presence point of view is witches it is important to provide an opportunity for people to protest. that is what he is continue to advocate for and is consistently advocated for but would also say that 170 provides equivocation for the comments, that's an important context to include in anybody's reporting party to. reporter: the senate floor they said it was unofficial american. [inaudible]. he said that he now supports legalizing marijuana on a national level parking is this something president biden would support. psaki: the presence force the decision regarding legalization for recreational use up to the state rescheduling cannabis is a scheduled to drugs researchers can study as positive and

negative impacts and at the federal level, he supports decriminalizing marijuana use and automatically expunging any prior criminal records and he also supports legalizing it recreational marijuana. reporter: the house and senate passed the bill legalizing marijuana at the federal level. was the president's comments pretty sweet just outlined his position from the same but the the house and senate have proposed but not yet yet passed a bill. reporter: one final question. some people and present on marijuana charges are asking president of biden on his comments and to release them. where is keep on keeping that campaign promise. psaki: i think what i'm talking about rescheduling cannabis hasn't scheduled to drop, that will also have an impact on the criminal justice system as well. before it's clear that the bottom line in the traditional restructuring of the presidents job and restructuring. [inaudible]. and he said he was willing to

compromise and republicans seem to support new hire user fees for americans use the roads and airports. but the president insisted that. [inaudible]. is the presidents adjusting the corporate tax rate or the willing to budge on the fees. psaki: full of first the president said which you touched on, but he outlined on the campaign coming is reiterated sense of these are quite right taxes on people making over $400,000 a year. is not going to budge on that pledge. so that is one in the lining the sand for him but this package in this really about crating millions of jobs is about investing and modernizing our nation's. it is about ensuring that caregivers have the support they need and it's about providing broadband access to americans

across the country and leveling the playing field. as with the discussion should be about. he believes it should be paid for really two options. either you put the burden on the backs of corporations that can afford to pay more or even the bargain on the backs of the market people, he's happy have a debate about that particular issue. reporter: democrats are calling for the biden administration took scrutinized thank workers were aggressively criminal justice department has proved too many leading to higher fees for the consumers. [inaudible]. is the white house looking at this issue doesn't share these lawmakers comments. see tip we've certainly seen the comments and the president supports competitive markets and things were less competition is good for consumers and innovation pretty disappointed it will continue to appoint highly qualified people more focused on the enforcing our antitrust laws. this one of his objectives that he looks aspirated in the department of justice would handle these mergers and collaboration with the banking agencies are probably right

sources to two for additional content or comments. reporter: has there been crisis contributed to using autopilot, encouraging regulators everything that technology printed. [inaudible]. and engagement on this issue and do they share this as well. psaki: i know department of transportation as you noted are aware of these incidents involving tesla vehicles and that the national highway traffic safety administration otherwise known as well, immediately launched an initial crash investigation team to investigate the crash. they're actively engaged with law enforcement and tesla to learn more about that appropriate steps when they have more information and of course they remain in touch as appropriate in our teams are in the ground. reporter: measured as the white house though have concerns rated. psaki: it will be handled and so that is where it is being handled. reporter: is for use of the

white house did not want to get ahead of the jury deliberation. and the jury is still deliberating so what . psaki: the jury is now sequestered with his which is a significant change when we want to 11 space and time to consider make a decision about what they believe the verdict should be. reporter: does the present still feel that he can come out after the verdict regardless of what it is to help people accept it given that it's weighed in on what he thinks verdict should be pretty. psaki: again i anybody is been watching the president is tired of me saying that his position is that he believes there should be space for people to protest and is been consistent in that that will be his point of view regardless of the outcome. that's what we have been communicating publicly but also locally to the mayors and governors and to the local law enforcement as were communicating in preparation. so that is consistently been as feel and has continued to advocate that regardless the outcome party to. reporter: what makes them want

to weigh in today on this before the verdict has about pretty. psaki: i think it was asking a question. if i followed it closely rated. reporter: i asked him what his question was hard now when he thought the verdict should be. psaki: i think that he obviously has been following this trial part closely as many americans have been. he has been obviously impacted by his conversation with lloyd family yesterday as somebody who has lived through loss and trauma himself. and he is certainly has his mind and his heart of what is happening around the country, people are digesting and watching these videos and watching the stroke go forward pretty so he knows that jury is sequestered as he noted in his, which is certainly different place from where it was yesterday. reporter: are the ways consulting about us what his response should be after the verdict does come down. we talked about speaking with state officials local authorities. what about the advisors that he speaking with. and in the response to the

verdict regardless of what the verdict is pretty. psaki: i believe that will come from the presence heart and he will be prepared to speak to it in some form or another adult want to get ahead of what the format will look like when we know with the verdict looks like. reporter: my last question, the ambassador to russia, complications according to this with russia is he going to be needing a meeting with the president. can you confirm that he will be going back to russia. psaki: that's absolutely the intention, he's returning home and his family seven home for about a year believe in the members of that new administration is not had a chance to consult with cynthia great to serve. no return soon printed. reporter: to set include the president rated. psaki: i'm not aware that that's on the schedule but primarily see members of the team as they administration is turned over there to personnel and the state department on the national security team etc. reporter: so the president to

find family astray, he talked about the trials today what is he see's his roll president during these deliberations. and then after the verdict it comes down pretty. psaki: i think the president as i noted little bit in response to earlier questions, certainly was touched via an impacted about by this conversation with lloyd family yesterday. he met with him last year. he feels he knows his family little bent and he's been through, and lost himself so he put all of the politics aside and all of everything else and that is something that is an immediate unfortunate bond between people have lost family members. he also understands this an extremely painful moment for many people in this country who are exhausted and who are tired. and tired of saying one person after another lose their life at the hands of law enforcement.

he is aware that in a four perform. so i would say not going to get ahead of what the outcome is what the verdict is freighted with just expect guilty, and that hasn't and i don't know what that will look like. we will have to see with the verdict is once it is concluded the jury has made the decision. and we will see what his roll is moving forward it. reporter: what about the goals for the summit later this week. and we please that vladimir putin would be there printed. psaki: what we invited him to attend as we did 39 other global leaders so i would say first we will have a a call reaching call later this evening to give you all a better endowment of the schedule and speaking of what his plan for speaking at the summit is freighted by others been makes of reporting out there. it will give you more of a full front dale and later this evening. but the president's goal is really to convene girls enter economy and other few voices

together lives effort to keep the vital goals of forming 1.5 degrees celsius within reach. we know that we head back step on that with the united states and certainly a part of the over the last couple of years and we've enrolled and he'll certainly talk more about that during summit. leaders will discuss immobilizing to drive the net zero transmission to help vulnerable companies deal with global impacts. it is all you know know, have a much greater responsibility for themselves but also for some other countries who are not as economically advanced in helping address these issues and also talk about opportunity to talk about the economic and offensive climate action, and a strong emphasis on the importance of ensuring all communities workers from this transition. he'll be talking about that but it's really no opportunity to talk about how the global community, we can come together to address what he sees is one

of the crises of his presidency. reporter: given this tensions between the two nations are now afraid of these important for any large economy developed nations to participate in climate senate because their mentors are also for the most part aligned with the world's largest economies or the most populated countries. and so those of the people who are invited pretty so it justin's message about the recognition that addressing the climate is addressing the climate crisis is something that even we have a disagreement about other areas, you can agree on that. do we know if . psaki: the getty marmot rundown of that later this evening in a more detailed run rundown of the speaking program as well. reporter: that president's remarks would take after it could depend on the outcome of

the trial. [inaudible]. why when it immediately after this trial regardless of what the trial is time for him to do that. psaki: first i would say that addressing race relations and improving equity in this country is central to his presidency and central to his focus every day. and his actions of policies certainly play that out and not going to get ahead of what the outcome of the trial will be and i'm just attempting to set an expectation that we will decide what is appropriate when the country needs to hear was one of the verdict and once we see the outcome predict. reporter: they've also been engaged on the legislation. has a present picked up the phone and call any senate republicans for them to talk about policing. psaki: i don't have that but i can tell you that in this

conversation democrats and republicans and am spoken with many of the baltimore talks about a range of issues. i will also say that a lot of the work on the george floyd act is happening on the hill. the negotiations between members of the senate, you referenced center scott, also center bunkers playing a vital roll they will have to work together with other members of the house to determine it where they were to be agreements and what an outcome can look like and if they can come to an agreement on that. that is the status the present would love to have a bill come to his desk so that he can sign it into law pretty. reporter: they couldn't come to a consensus, as well as bands on chokehold so what is the presence position on this community and busy think the democrats they ban no knock warrant savannah chokehold argument with respect and these limiting the federal funding or something like that in order to get the republican support for the bill. i get a bill passed into law.

psaki: will allow them to negotiate amongst themselves. about what they think the final outcome or final agreement could be read where certainly helpful but still make reference and then the president is eager to sign policing reform legislation into law. certainly we recognize last year there has been more since then and we are hopeful the president will be able to sign a lot. can tell you that number of steps that he has taken that he can take as president and his department of justice can take. he emphasized the importance and using the authority and he spearheaded the senator to investigate the police misconduct and that will have to wait for congress to act party last week attorney general garland reversed the trump administration's claim limited the use of consent with respect to the investigation of the police departments in the president also pledged to appoint doj leadership that would prioritize practice investigations and he has two critical pending and will do exactly that.

have course, as they are already noted the george floyd act, he's also called an initial for increasing funding for the department of justice civil rights division by millions of dollars in order to advance accountability and reform for abusive police practices. finally multiple states and taking action pretty is it enough, no. he wants to signs into law but his own administration has taken steps even while that legislation is working through the negotiations that happen in congress. reporter: can you share with us what the president initiative is of qualified immunity's party to. psaki: i don't have anything new to share with you from what he said on the campaign trail. and i'm sure you're familiar with that. reporter: following up a little bit on the question from earlier. president biden still focuses on the issue of marijuana targeted of whiny feel opposed taking the step at this point.

and two thirds of americans are using . [inaudible]. elected democrats within the state are pushing forward with that, why is he reluctant to sort of take that onto support. psaki: you from covering this, rescheduling canvases a schedule to drug" allow researchers to study is positive and negative effects. he wants to look at that. of course he supports decriminalizing marijuana use and he supports the decisions leading up to the state and sparse legalizing municipal entrant medicinal marijuana but a look at the research once that is concluded. reporter: right now is reluctant to predict zero in front reluctant to targeted despite the movement that is having towards it pretty. psaki: of course we understand the movement is having towards it. i'm speaking for what his position is and what long consistently has been his position. he wants to decriminalize but again it look at the research on

the positive and negative impact printed. reporter: on a related note, yesterday the house he it passed the act which was meant to make cannabis legal. and i know there are things that pass with bipartisan majority supported it printed. [inaudible]. psaki: that's a good question i have to check on that and get to your comment after the briefing. reporter: on the policy, u.s. on april 1st, why they continue on this tax, whether had anything. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. the president referenced the border directly. you mentioned it yesterday so how does this goes to the explanations to say that the border was not a factor and now

he is saying that it is. psaki: i may walk you back a little bit the last few months. i will do this briefly a promise. josh's eyes are glazing over. i'm just getting. offers david during the translation john, we obviously took a look at how what happened over the last two years now we consider more aspirational article so we could welcome more refugees in the country rated we said big aspirational goal which we remain committed to welcoming in 125,000 refugees by the end of the fiscal year next year. the president announced that in e-mails that we wanted to get to have eight down payment payment i should 62.5000 by the end of this fiscal year. now couple of things have happened in the last several weeks and some that was happening even the policy wells and sometimes it takes some time for that to be communicated more broadly within the

administration including the fact that the impact on or come the office of refugee resettlement and having of course, the welcoming and delivering on the decision of president made it to treat the children as they come across the border. and who ensure they are treated in a safe manner. that has a weight on the system including the office of refugee resettlement including personnel and including funding. that is a factor but some of the best decision-making is happening. at the office of refugee resettlement in ways that maybe i was not communicated to of found and at that time but it happened over the last couple of weeks. in that time i should say, this mother just this month, so recently, probably since i made this comment, just transferred 850 million from the public health and social services emergency fund and turner 87 million from other department accounts to be unaccompanied children's program in order to ensure that we can treat kids

with humanity and ensure they are safe. they were made using the secretary of scanning transfer authority and has no necessarily in the refugee program but it is funding from the same office in the president's responsibility is to look across government and look across resources and his team is and see where there is capacity and where resource assessments need to be made a party to. reporter: 's or factor the last 20 days and even before april 1st, they were already seeing an increase in the number of migrants arriving at the border. was not a factor that time pretty. psaki: let me bring you behind the card and somehow the policy makes, over time, as you look over time at your systems and your resources, your processes and what changes need to be made within government to address issues as they are rising and certainly we've seen a number of

unaccompanied children and need to reopen shelters or open shelters across the country. taking care of children, it costs money and that is something that is certainly had an impact. but a big part as we have looked at and assess the challenges here, the primary of reaching the goal has been the destination of the refugee initiative program under the prior administration. part of the refugees when they arrive in there we settled and provided benefits by and also the vetting process that takes place in through our state department, this was all decimated in the last administration and make an assessment of that as well. that happens over progressive period of time is not a magic day when you wake up and an alarm bells goes off. you have to assess as time goes by and make changes as needed. reporter: as to when it was

announced. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. psaki: i think it will be sooner than that and we were always going to be assessing what our resources and capacity would allow for unit and i expect it will be before probably approximately a month from last friday. reporter: a follow-up on this issue. why not just raise the cap to your product, is just that, so the guarantee is just a cap. the people coming into this program pretty wise lowered the nonprofits and people who are skeptical of the present early on. in the corporate. [inaudible]. and restrictions predispute if actually first going to set a cap, large-cap soon. i suspect it will be before may 15th. but you are right in the sense that the cap is just a number and most often times throughout history you don't reach the cap,

is just a number we can set at 100,000 or a million. what we are trying to send a message to the world that we want to welcoming the refugees and that is who we are his administration has wanted provided greater clarity for what our overall objectives were even if they were not initially set on friday. i would say that one to assess given the impact of the decimation of the refugee admissions program the need to move from resources around, while as possible but we do want to say large-cap and send a message to the world that we remain committed to our objective and we felt always been committed to it and a goal of 11,205,000 predators really question of how close we could get and what kind of down payment we do this year. reporter: for clarification presence that it's overwhelming needing the evidence for .

[inaudible]. psaki: i think i've answered this question a couple of times. reporter: in minneapolis, off the table and the date. [inaudible]. psaki: were not going to get ahead with the outcome of the verdict is will make an evaluation about what the country needs at that point in time. reporter: i know you just answer the question i'm confused about why you know clarified with the president said about the verdict is right it if he's overwhelming. the presence obviously volunteered information about the verdict, then why not say this is what the president said. psaki: our objective is to the president was obviously clearly impacted by this conversation with floyd's as the floyd family just yesterday. he obviously is still getting to the videos in the trial of the

events of last year when they happened at the time. these impacted by exhaustion and the trauma that he seen across the country over the last several weeks. i think was a reflection of that but again, wrote trying to provided greater information about predictions of a verdict really want to leave that to the jury to make that determination. this requester so they obviously can't here listen to anything being said i'm not going to have more verification for you pretty. reporter: is wrong for americans to see that the presence in the officers and the evidence is overwhelming. when people see that, the wrong for them to make that assumption of what the president is saying pretty. psaki: think people should concluded that present like many americans have been equally impacted by the trial and is been deeply impacted by his conversations with the floyd family yesterday and then he understands that people are exhausted and that they are tired that this type of violence

in from around the country and continue to see over the past couple of weeks and hopefully that is what they take away from his comments. reporter: when if you can speak a bit too especially the african-americans have seen so many trials happen and no matter what the outcome is i wonder if the white house to have people just feeling anxious about what comes after this verdict. psaki: personally would say that the president sees pain and he understands try to understand the trauma the people of been through across the country and is watching the trial closely. i think he would want people to know that is working hard and making changes possible created and i walk through some of the steps that is been taken by his department of justice and he would love to sign the george floyd bill into law. in any also is here as a human

being and he sees their pain and he recognizes their loss and there, and he wants to put the reforms event and from place to help address and moving forward to pretty. reporter: speaker nancy pelosi came to the defense of rep. waters. and you said that clarified that by actual courts do not matter. when my the white house is coming to the defense of rep. waters given that chino facing an onslaught and wonder why the white house not saying that we thought about what she's saying about confrontational she was obviously not violent, and various things. [inaudible]. and confrontational to be a predispute if she also clarified and around remarks, the most powerful piece 2.2. reporter: the arizona governor, he lifted the mask mandate on all schools in the state. wonder what the white house thinks about it. or maybe not like the idea predispute table we certainly recommend any state and governor

to follow public health guidelines and asking social distancing, and masking specifically is one of the clear steps that can be an effective mitigation measure according to the cdc. and even as we have seen various anemias we have seen it takes a part of the country. certainly would not be a step that we would support for unit. reporter: the comments, will there be any kind. [inaudible]. will there be any others doing this. see tip no bilateral meetings the summit. when in terms of the joint statement of the end i don't have a prediction of a commode expect we will all learn more on the call later this evening. reporter: meeting between president biden - did they talk about the order issue or the presence view of the issue. psaki: i believe we are having

our teams stay in touch and look at it and i don't think that it is the steps are happening for a few years i'm getting this correct, or even a few months. i would have to check with our national security team to see if it was a point of discussion. reporter: another question. some are colleagues are potentially celebrating. rep. nicholas x. duran as you might remember want to president trump's final actions in office was to grant clemency to people in federal prison who are being held on marijuana charges. but there's a lot more including one whose quest sentenced to 22 years in prison for operating legal medical marijuana in california. giving that notice and everything, the support for and sponging these. [inaudible]. are there other plans to revisit those plans. >> i would take it as an opportunity to reiterate that the presence course medicinal

marijuana. it would've been applicable in this case. in decriminalizing marijuana use and automatically expunging prior record pretty in terms of a specific partner, i can't get ahead of that pretty just the expectations. reporter: thank you. >> thank you everyone. [inaudible]. [inaudible]. >> the senate is in recess until 4:00 p.m. eastern, lawmakers getting everything from the biden administration's decision to withdraw all u.s. troops from afghanistan by september 11th. earlier was to advance nomination of security exchange commission chair, gary, to be a member of the fcc for
