thankfully, wee are but it was interesting to hear the present last night take credit for all of that which i assume every president sitting in that w spot would but i aml to president trump and the leadership that happened in hhs and work of the career folks and the folks in science and private industry and pharmaceuticals for what they have done over the last year because it is remarkable what we have walked there andlo what we have seen. it was not mentioned last night talking about the economy, unemployment insurance, something brought before. when i travel around my state the week before we were not voting those two weeks, as i traveled around, every employer i talked to said the same thing, we are hiring but we don't have people applying. people applying are coming in and just applying and filling out a form and when they offer them the job they said i didn't really want the job,te i just needed to complete the a form bk to the unemployment office so i can continue to get my check. talk to the employees who were frustrated because the first thing, they're not showing up for work anymore because they are at home getting unemployment. unemployment

i will be the bad cop, but we will send it over to you. sec. walsh: i am sorry. thank you very much, it is an honor to be here. i want to thank the president and vice president for inviting me to share an update on the economic recovery at this moment in time. the news under the leadership through the american rescue plan, the workforce is climbing out of a deep hole that covid put us in. our recovery is building momentum in many americans are returning to work, that we have a long way to go in there is a lot of work to do. the bureau of labor statistics reported that the american economy not -- added 9016 jobs in march and the unemployment rate is down to 6% from six point 2% in february. that is good news for over 900,000 working men, women, and families in this country. we saw significant job growth in most sectors of our economy, and it is clear that the national vaccine programs is not only saving lives that enabling more people to get back to work. relief checks and expanded unemployment benefits are not only putting food on the table but stimulating the local economy and the supports that are being put in plate for dutch place of he

my name is margaret wong and i am the president and ceo of the something poverty law center. this year the fpl seat celebrating 50 years of working to protect and advance civil rights to combat white nationalists and other extremists and to support educators and communities across the country to help children learn to reject hate and become engaged citizens and a multicultural democracy. that democracy is at greater risk today than in many decades. i'm sure that many of you might be familiar with the work or with our work. the southern poverty law center or splc was founded in 1971 in wake of the civil rights movement. as a small, nonprofit law firm in montgomery, alabama our principal aim at the time was to ensure that the promise of the civil rights movement became a reality and to use the civil rights laws enacted in the 1960s to break down the vestiges of jim crow's segregation that remained firmly rooted in the culture and institutions of the deep south. it is wonderful to recognize the many early successes of the splc and i would love to share just a few. we integrated

i am the first vice president and the government has worked cohesively, and there is an unprecedentedernment. we very highly appreciate and welcome the united states�* urgency to pursue diplomatic solution and political settlement in afghanistan. that's very fine. but when it comes to the details of how to broker a settlement, we should be listened to. it's our country and it's going to be the destiny of 35 million afghans. and i have said in the past peace cannot be pressure—cooked. we have to listen to all parties — all parties concerned. we want to achieve stability and peace. we have to restore and strengthen hope for millions and millions of afghans. we have said we will not agree to an elite deal which will not be implementable. so what we are clearly saying is we are ready to sacrifice, we are ready to show concession, but we are not ready to abrogate the afghan constitution and step over it. how toxic could your relationship with the biden administration become? because it's quite clear that joe biden wants to get us troops completely out of afghanistan as soon as possible. he

my name is martha hollins, and i am the president of the plaza east tenants association. plaza east has been going through a lot of meetings and a lot of things that's been going on over here in this community. i just want to say thank you for having me. what i want to do is i'm a little nervous about it, but i just wanted to comment on one particular thing that's happening here at plaza east. since i am the duly elected president of the tenants association with my five other constituents on the board, we are the ones that were elected to serve our community and the residents thereof. i'm commenting on our district 5 supervisor, mr. dean preston. we have been trying to get -- >> president walton: please make sure you direct your comments to the entire board and not to a specific member. >> excuse me? we've been trying to get a meeting with him, we've been calling him, we've been asking him. he has failed to come and sit with us and talk to us about plaza east. he talks about everybody else except the residents of plaza east resident council. i want to know why he doesn't w

the president. thank you. blake? [applause] >> thank you mr. flynn. i too am part of a railroad family. my father was a conductor for over 40 years i have been one the last 18. i joined amtrak on president's day in 2004 after a couple years, i was promoted to conductor. i can honestly say i love what i do. i like having the opportunity of working with my coworkers to serve amtrak's customers up and down the northeast corridor, to get them safely and on time to where they need to go. i am proud of our mission and especially proud of how hard they work during this pandemic and keeping essential pastors across america moving. i am excited to see the rest of our passengers and very excited to see them on the excel express heads. one of my first lessons my father taught me as a conductor what to look out for one of our frequent writers, senator joe biden. in 2006, i had the privilege of meeting mr. brett -- mr. biden on a train while collecting tickets. before i had a chance to introduce myself, he stopped what he was working on and invited me to sit down to talk with him for a few minutes. i

america reports on our nation's longest war and president biden's decision to bring home the 2500 remaining troops still in afghanistan. i am a formal announcement live from the white house. that plan including pulling out all american forces by september 11th. that is the date. no doubt symbolic it's one of the reasons why the president is already facing push back on this decision. it's coming from both sides. >> john: the announcement coming 20 years after former president bush announced the start of the war. more than 2300 american lives have been lost in afghanistan and more than 800 billion dollars has been spent. >> sandra: and mike pompeo has reaction to that plan and a lot more. we begin with kristin fisher live at the white house ahead of this announcement. >> this may be the biggest most difficult decision that president biden has had to make. he will announce it from a symbolic location. he will speak from the treaty room where former president bush announced the first air strikes in afghanistan nearly 20 years ago. president biden is receiving bipartisan criticism and praise for this decision. most of his milita

i bet the president -- i am glad the president has taken exigent dissent oxygen comes in ppe, send essentialpment that india needs. but a lot of it was in response to the activism in the early voices in congress. now the key issue is the trips waiver, having the president call these pharmaceutical companies and say, you're going to get paid, are going to get compensated, it is in your long-term commercial interest but you can't be refusing to license your vaccines. that is what is going on. we should be absolutely clear about this. it is not that they are asking for money, not that they're asking for a profit. it is that they are not willing to license their vaccines, even making money, even making a profit they're not willing to let other countries manufacture it. and that is just cruel. amy: we have to go to break and then we will go to what happened last night, this historic joint session of congress that president biden just addressed. i want to thank our guest jayati ghosh, an economics professor at the university of massachusetts-amherst. and ro khanna, democratic congressmember from c

i am the fourth u.s. presidente over the true presence in afghanistan, to republicans -- two republicans, two democrats. i wilnot pass this responsibility on to a fifth. after consulting with our military leaders, intelligence personnel, diplomats, the congress and the vice president as well as with many others around the world, i concluded that it is time to end america's longest war. it is time for american troops to come home anchor: let's take a couple of minutes look at the history of the u.s. military presence in afghanistan. the united states has spent $2 trillion and lost more than 2000 service members since 2001 in what has been its longest war. at his side, there were more than 100,000 u.s. troops stationed in afghanistan. today -- at its height, there were more than 100,000 u.s. troops in afghanistan. today, there are about 6000 as part of a nato mission area correspondent gary o'donoghue has been listening to esident biden in washington and i asked how he thinks congress will react. >> the opposition wi

i wanted to point out a couple of points regarding the speech last night. if i may. host: go ahead. caller: the president, i don't want to disrespect the office of the presidency. i amore of a conservative. it looked like he was going on his rhetoric to keep the country going. everything he spoke about, the needles in the arms with the covid deal, that was by trump. he's riding the coattails of a different president in my point of view. thing is, right as we were getting over that little hump he was elected and down we go again into the left side of the building or so to speak. the other thing was the border aspect of the speech, what's going on down there? i grew up in arizona, i got family on the others of the border. i believe president trump was doing right. now just reversing those actions, it is getting worse. a gentleman i spoke to before, kids getting taken away, that was an obama policy. we need to really get real. we just keep on going in the wrong direction. hopefully we could stop with tim scott and listen to his side, see the good parts about that. caller: i knew i had been to a circus when i saw the purple hair. that is unbelievable for a distinguished

troops out of afghanistan by the 20th anniversary of 911, here is the president. >> i am now the fourthted states president to preside over american troop presence in afghanistan. i will not pass this responsibility onto a fifth. chris: mark, president trump won it to have all troops out by may 1. putting aside the fact it's not going to before months later, and september, did president biden make the right move here? vicki no chris i'm please he's continuing the president trump's policy of withdrawing troops. i think that too often we are given a false choice. either the war was a mistake we must stay there forever. i think it's important when attacked to make your enemies know we will pursue them to the ends of the earth. that i think has accomplished killing some of bin laden and most of his lieutenants. that is helpless to push back on the war on terror. had a lot of success. we are not in a peerless nation. it's important to bring the troops home at this time. we are not there to be nationbuilding force either. where they are to build a war on terror, we've had success is time to b

this has boiled over into the presidency. i am honored to be. the candidate for the newly formed republican party for the presidency. but with my nomination the south has said we are done even though many times as i spoke before them. i stressed that i will not change any of their ways of life any of their peculiar institutions. in fact, it is not in my power to do so. when i was nominated and elected in november the south said they had had enough. and within the time of the four months between being elected and being in office. starting with south carolina seven states decided to succeed from the union. can they do that? can they just get up and walk out? in my opinion, they can't do that. but with president buchanan still in office. i have to wait. even though mr. buchanan is a southern sympathizer. he agrees that secession is wrong, but he feels that he is powerless to do anything about it. and while i wait in springfield, illinois having to entertain all kinds of well-wishers. all kinds of office seekers and returning hundreds and hundreds of
