it was 49 years ago in 1970 that hayes helped launch the first day. it was a time of when america's national decision involved eagles was listed as an endangered species, as angeles and pittsburgh are routinely developed in thick smog, and the cuyahoga river in cleveland was so polluted, it caught fire. and on the first earth day, it made it 20 million people participated in demonstration. the effort launched a sweeping series of policy changes in the united states. including the clean air act, the clean water act, and the establishment of the environment protection agency. today, hayes is chairman of the board of the earth day network which has become an international event that focuses attention on the state of the earth's health. so as he looks to be events golden anniversary next year, he is focused on where he says it is the biggest threat to our planet. today, climate change. as he told stanford magazine last year, he wants next year's 50th anniversary to quote quiet and unprecedented global outpouring of outrage over climate change and other gl

i think hayes is particularly instructive. if you look at the statute the court construed, it was a more of a difficult linguistic lift than this one for two reasons i'll get two and a second. if i can advise them -- if i can paraphrase that statutory slightly slightly for the court -- >> we're running a little far afield for me. if we could just return to this language. as understand it, and (a) you would have us read offense to mean that's charge on the books. but when they get to (b) you have us look at the facts actually committed. is that right? and we agree on that much? >> yester honor. but if i can qualify that -- >> no no, no, you can qualify in a minute but we agree on that much. >> let me just make one speedy know, we can't agree on that much? >> both of these hinge on the jury finds. in the first case the jury findings message of an corporate and government that has used the fourth pick in the case the jury is to find the use of force and the jury finding something in both cases. >> i guess in attacking you at all.

i just want to say, thank you to joanne hayes wait and her team.ce easter 2020, she has been instrumental to working with us to make sure that these are priorities. while she was chief, we opened four new fire stations. this one station five, station 16 that the mayor talked about, station four, and i believe station 48 -- 49, okay. and station one. it was not done on an easter bond, but it happens. in addition, we also talked about -- in addition to not just opening new police stations, we also touched almost all -- to keep saying police stations, fire stations. we also touched all of the fire stations to remediate any deficiencies that we could with the other excess funding. i just want to reiterate what the mayor said about the bonds, as we are doing this in a fiscally responsible way, and as we issue new debt, we paid down old debt so we are not increasing the property taxes of the voters. we do this in a transparent way, and again, i want to thank everyone. with that, i would like to bring out our fire chief who is retiring this sunday. joanne

hayes: thank you. mr. chair, i want to point out an estimated 90 million americans still have low health literacy. these people are disproportionately lower income americans, elderly americans, and americans are low english proficiency. there is a clear need and urgency for the federal government to help these people in states that operate state-based exchanges, and there's precedent for my amendment. my state exchange has received roughly $3 million for the in-person assistance program from the federal government. the bottom line is that the rules of the road have changed since changing the requirement to provide health care coverage to all americans. there's never been a greater need to shore up programs that makes sure working americans, especially underserved populations, are protected and insured, that people in all communities know what their options are and know when and how to access these benefits. i strongly support h.r. 987. i think that my amendment will make it even better. i urge my colleague

keep in mind as you watch and rewatch that clip that chris hayes is not a flack for the cia. he is a member of the national press corps, but he isn't arguing for openness, just the opposite. hayes is arguing, using his position as a public advocate to argue against giving the public more information. these are not military secrets or the names of u.s. agents working undercover overseas. the information in question is about how the fbi spied on americans while investigating crimes that we w now know did not occur. so what could possibly be the justification for keeping all of that secret, the details secret? really, the only justification would be to protect the intel agencies b from embarrassment. that's what they fear and that's exactly why the former director of the cia john brennan and so many others are anxious to preserve the vale of secrecy. >> i think it's important that the counterintelligence professionals continue to carry out their responsibilities and resist these unwarranted and very, very irresponsible efforts to try to undermine what they're doing. >> tucker: o
