they don't have a chaplain corps.i learned later on the part of that lease in the political part of it is that the orthodox church in ethiopia is a very powerful and influential and the military does not want to create a so-called into the military system for the orthodox church to build influence in that area. >> it is all about politics. gerald: it is all about politics we had one meeting with basically kind of national council of churches person in ethiopia. and another person to talk about that and then i realize, this is probably not going to go anywhere quick. my commander, the admiral, he kind of pulled me back from doing the mill - mill and we: in the military to civilian engagement. in my predecessor had been very tenacious and he did things in uganda and kenya. but he had not been a key player with u.s. and u.s. after, the combatant command, higher headquarters for anything that happens on the hunton at half africa. there chaplain, the ektachrome chaplain at phone with animal once the christmas holiday befor

truck section for a marine corps infantry battalion. we had city kids and country kids, all different backgrounds, in terms of economic strata. we had african-americans, we had, you know, conventional, traditional european whites. my maintenance chief was an american samoan. my operations chief was, you know, a black american marine. and they were all united in the same basic training, they all had achieved their rank by merits. they all either took each other to task for not living up and operating to standards, or praising somebody who had done a really great job. and it worked because there was this common identity. this unified purpose pushing forward. so i so appreciate the arguments you're bringing on to the senate floor and in your various media interviews that critical race theory, in dividing people and creating groups and pitting them against each other calls all that into question. i mean it truly does. i see this as a subset of this battle. my experience in the military was, it was a perfect representation of american ideals

what would this climate corps do? >> well, originally the idea dates back to the 1930s.ut green activists, the progressives are saying that that was racist in some ways, that it focused too much on hiring men, and that we need a whole new program here that's really focused not just on climate change, but on environmental justice. we're talking about addressing racism, sexism in society, taking kind of a total view of this, and then coming up with a civilian conservation corps that will employ american youth and put them out to either go out and install solar panels or else talk to you about your sustainable behavior. >> paul: look, the civilian conservation corps was a depression-era program that pushed people to work doing a variety of things when the unemployment rate was over 20%. now we have a worker shortage, okay. we have 9 million jobs that aren't able -- employers aren't able to find workers for. what are they going to do on the climate? >> so they want to do all kinds of things. the details of this are kind of vague, but if you look into some of the proposals, b

the civilian conservation corps, the job corps mission, ties in to the president's plan for $10 billion investment in a civilian climate corps to mobilize a next generation of conservation and resilience workers. this job core the existing programs, which i'm a strong supporter of, is a model that can play a significant role in guiding the development of a new climate corps. and i'm sure we'll all be confused by the two ccc's into the future. are you participating, or is your leadership team participating in discussions with the administration on how to develop this knew climate conservation corps? or civilian climate corps? >> yes. it does get confusing. yes. we are working very close when i the administration. because forest service has a unique expertise in history and leadership with these civilian cores dating back to the original ccc's which now we are a part of the job corps networks. now the 21st century conservation corps. i did it, excuse me. the climate conservation corps would be additive to the great work that would be done. they would gain these conservation skills and be

we have been building on the los angeles conservation corps for a long time. it makes use of those who have been in the toughest environments and turns them into environmental stewards. as well as other folks who are returning either from the criminal justice system or folks interested in helping out, so coming out of the pandemic, we will be doing hundreds of these, so we might have hundreds of americans going door-to-door so that questions from republicans and democrats alike are addressed. get the energy help to support americans in my city, get folks who can help weatherize homes, and let them be empowered to not be passive recipients but active participants in the struggle. >> thank you for the question, i am not familiar with the program but it does sound extremely interesting and going back to the equity focus we have from our administration, youth engagement, workforce development training is a huge part of that especially as we go into the summer months and we are experiencing all the other challenges after covid related to an uptick in crime, kids be

that is the purpose of the community corps. the covid-19 community corps so that actually local respected community members can speak to their communities about the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines he so people make the right decision to get vaccinations. again for themselves but also for their children, their families, and their communities. >> doctor, during this covid-19 epidemic we have seen a drop in life expectancy, rises in anxiety and depression, and also in drug overdoses. how can you address those factors which are clearly to do with covid but also beyond them, are we negligenting other problems as we focus on covid? rachel: it's critically important to know that actually local, state, and federal pub lig health officials are really our offices are dealing with the entire spectrum of public health issues we always dealt. in terms of mental health and substance use disorders, that's a very, very important point. c.d.c. data indicates that in 2020 we had the highest rate ever of deaths from drug overdoses. 93,
