i think it's great for cbc and npr for doing this. i think it's conversation should be had.unk about 40 years ago. i'm from burning british columbia. i do think it's ÃÃbut for reasons i really haven't been brought up until now that is we share a long list in which history with america, maybe not that distinguished taking into consideration some of our ÃÃ the american experience with america has been very much different than the committee in one. we have different values that drive us. the americans seem to have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. we have peace order and good government. our country is influenced on the east more about the british experience and by our experience with the french consequence ethnically aware of what different might look the same but we are a lot different. we have a single paying healthcare system most of us would never give up on. and by the way, i'm not pro-business when it comes to firearms but after let you know that we don't have near the intensity of firearms or other types of violence that exist in the states. we are very much di

we have a task force as well of members of the cbc who are circling back now. into that data. we are looking at the pronouncements that have been made by various corporations. and we are focused also on the federal enterprise and what's happening there, what's happening on college campuses across the board. these folks have made diversity, equity and inclusion their target for getting in the way of the advancement of people of color, of white women, of veterans, of aging americans, all of whom have benefited, benefited from the fact that we have diversity, equity and inclusion not only in the private sector but in the public sector, as well as on college campuses. we will be holding folks accountable here. >> here's the problem, as you well know, is you're in on such an asymmetric playing field, right? everything they do is a crisis. they are currently trying to just absolutely flood the zone such that you have no choice but to play defense, which is ordinarily what a political party does in the minority when they're in the house. this feels different because i

the cbc, which i'm a part of, definitively understands the scale of the threat. our communities have been under siege, as you pointed out, since before the civil war. i'm a direct descendant of those very communities. so we understand the struggle, the history, the strength of people like john lewis, which we're going to channel. that's my experience. that's my personal experience, that's my family's experience. and so we understand that. and as a caucus, it's definitively the case that we understand that. listen, we launched the rapid response task force and litigation working group is going to be led by joe neguse and of course, a brilliant constitutional lawyer, jamie raskin, to be able to respond to and work with our allies like tish james and others. and part of what we are responding to. listen, elon musk and donald trump, they're flooding the zone in part to create distress, to create a sense of invincibility and inevitability. but the reality is, there have been more than 75 different lawsuits that have been filed by democracy reform groups, civil rights

according to the cbc, the city of toronto says snow removal may take up to three weeks after it was justwinter storms. yeah, talking about four feet of snow over the past few days. you do also wonder with the wind whether that wind just ended up carrying snow across the runways after after they were cleared? yeah. >> and again, if the snow is on the runway and an airplane lands on it, it the friction melts the snow. right. we see this with trains all the time. the train melts the snow, but then it becomes ice. so the back of the train is now hitting ice when the front of the train was hitting snow. so that's always a possibility when it's that cold and snow can actually get onto the runway. snow becomes ice. >> and again, 80 people on board. as ali mentioned. two of them were pilots. two likely were crew members. 76 seats on that plane. nine people injured, two of them serious. one of them appears to be in critical condition, taken, airlifted to a trauma center in toronto. and as ali mentioned, there's a lot of traffic out there, so airlifting makes a lot of sense. also, a child that was

canada's cbc, citing three sources, says the country is expected to hit back today with retaliatory tariffs of its own. prime minister justin trudeau is reportedly expected to make an announcement tonight, and canada's ctv reporting trudeau will meet local officials at the top of the hour on trump's vow to impose 25% tariffs. joining us now is nbc news business correspondent brian chung. brian, can we expect to see more retaliatory tariffs in response to trump's measures from different countries that he's threatened with these kinds of actions? >> yeah, it sounds like the reporting from the canadian press does seem to seem to suggest, rather, that there will be some sort of retaliatory action from canada, our neighbors to the north. but i want to point out, we haven't even really gotten the official word that the tariffs are in effect yet. we haven't heard anything from the white house, at least at least from the press vantage point in terms of whether or not those tariffs have actually happened today, what those tariffs actually look like. all of this coming after the explicit announcement

got about two minutes of sleep, lockbox chem cbc and get in the chair. andrew and joe they want to eat me alive because the futures are dead red. looks like the market is going to -- nobody expected trump to win. it's like i get on their and it's like all right. let's look at the chessboard here. what is donald trump going to do? it's like four wheels on the ferrari. you are going to have a strategic energy dominance in cheap oil? that's exactly what is going to do this time. that's good to be the biggest inflation fighter we're going to have. let me finish. this is important. deregulation. we are going to hit that again but also add a doge about the zocalo a positive supply shock. that's good for all the businesses who are concerned. cheaper oil cheaper oil by the way is inches cheaper gasoline prices and home heating oil prices are it's cheaper fertilizer prices come all across. then it's up the tax burden which is going to be lowered and is going to be lowered by the way by the billeted use tariff revenues in the negotiations that congress what they c

lauren: on cbc specifically, how would you suggest the agency reprioritize and refocus to focus more on public health response as opposed to academic concerns? if you could be more specific about what you mean by that. dr. redfield: i will give an example. when i was cdc director, one of the first briefings i asked, it was the first week of april of 2018, largely was on opioid-related deaths. it was personal to me because i almost lost one of my six children. contaminated cocaine with fentanyl and he almost lost his life. i saw substance use disorder up close and personal. i thought i understood it as an infectious disease doctor. i can tell you i had no concept of the impact of drug use disorder until i saw it in my own family. revamping our programs. when i had that briefing and it was an excellent briefing, these are top-quality men and women. i asked what the data was through. he said you don't understand the complexity we have. i said i was excited because i thought i had the opportunity to work with the greatest public health agency in the world. we don't have real-time data sy

kevin: in the case of canada, people have been wondering certainly if you watch the cbc, i wouldn't say would suggest they're a massively concerned about a what the impact of, say, 25% tariffs might mean to their economy. and yet you've described to me that number -- must have of our trade -- much of our trade is actually duty-free. why all the hull balloon on what they -- hullabaloo on what that might do to them? >> we've been duty-free in the entire economy except for a few agricultural products, you know, since the '80s. and as a consequence, canada's a country that's 5,000 miles long but only about 200 miles wide in terms of economics, in terms of where stuff happens. to they've haley integrated north to south with us because of these free trade arrangements. a tariff would completely upset and disturb that. my feeling is there should be some sort of accommodation we can come to with the canadians about areas of friction. whatever border and drug issues we have, it should be possible. the thing is you have to remember true -- trudeau is kind of like a new york city mayor. not the on

i'm looking at the cbc article, consumer prices up half a percent in january, higher than expected as annual rate rose to 3%. much of that in housing and food prices, though much of the food prices is basically just eggs. what now? this is one of the many reasons people voted for trump, was concerned about inflation? guest: yeah. i don't know how much you can hold trump responsible for january's inflation, given that he was not president for much of it. but ultimately, yes, he was elected in large part because inflation was so high, that the cost of living during the biden administration gotten so high, even after the inflation rate began to decline from the 41-your high. and he's made fairly explicit promises that he was going to provide some relief. there's going to become a point in time worked voters either feel that or they don't, and that's one of the source of promises that is very difficult to message around the prices either go up or they go down. the trump administration believes there are various things they could do to increase the energy production, that will lower energy

investment and as you noted they not only deliver the greatest number of graduates, they've delivered 40% of cbc numbers as well. >> yes, ma'am. thank you very much for that, and thank you for the work that you're doing. i really appreciate that very much. mr. taylor, let me ask you a question. as chair of the white house initiative on hbcu's during the first trump administration, you saw firsthand how underfunded -- how underfunding holds these institutions back: had bcu's contribute 16.5 billion dollars to our economy every year and that's the return on investment. yet, our schools are still being short changed. so, do you believe that congress should be investing more and if so, what do you think is the holdup? >> well, and thank you for the opportunity. for those who didn't know i ran the thurgood marshall fund largest to committed to advancing and protecting the policies for our publicly funded state hbcu's, and i start with the fact hbcu is not a race based designation, several hbcu's have -- these are open to all and historically shown that's the case, it's good that we have the numbers,

they ethically failed that during covid when a first year phd student created a better school than the cbc could provide. we could also look at the department of education which is gotten a lot of discussion lately and interest in looking at what is going on. our schools are failing our kids. that is the status quo of where we are at in america. the education funding from the federal government has gone up and student performance has been flat. compared to other nations, it has gone down. meanwhile, employment of the edge and -- education workforce has gone up. we have less people teaching in the classroom and more people administering it. we created an education bureaucracy. mr. schatz, you talked about the importance of understanding and looking at the intended results. are they happening? that is one of the things we are dripping -- addressing in doge. can you make sure we are addressing the intended results? the difference between helping students and helping school systems perhaps. >> the test scores in the higher costs are what i was discussing earlier. if you are spending more on so
