on joy now by nathan hoffman, he's director of the center for global sustainability at the university of maryland . he was also part of the us state department's climate team. it's good to have you on the program. the you in chief says that the window to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius is closing quickly. wouldn't it be more honest to admit though, that this 1.5 goal is now completely out of reach? well, i think that's the report shows that we really are in an emergency situation. it really is sounding the alarm. at the same time. i think it's quite important to know that 1.5 in fact is not out of reach. i think that it actually, the report shows that where we are with current policies, is tracking toward a much warmer world than what we are aiming for in the international and global community. but that it remains within reach in all of our countries to build the actions that are needed over the course of this decade to deliver the reductions on the order of magnitude needed to keep that 1.5 target allied missed over. let me ask you, according to you in data, the world now appears to

nathan huffman is the director of the central center for global sustainability at the university of maryland. earlier he told us that the goal to limit global warming to $1.00 degrees celsius is still achievable. the report shows that we really are in an emergency situation. it really is sounding the alarm. at the same time, i think it's quite important to know that 1.5 in fact is not out of reach. i think that it actually, the report shows that where we are with current policies, is tracking toward a much warmer world than what we are aiming for in the international and global community. but that it remains within reach in all of our countries to build the actions that are needed over the course of the decade to deliver the reductions on the order of magnitude needed to keep that 1.5 target wise. so it's absolutely true that were already committed to some degree of warming. and i think that it's urgently important that we continue to implement new policies across all sectors and all gases to reduce those emissions to levels that would be safer than the 3 degree projection in this report. at

d was presentedded lennon died, he had other physical problems, but pathology studies at university of maryland, conclude that lennon could not have died of what it was claimed he died of. so lennon's death among a whole host of others, death occurred before he was going to stalin. >> old days you would go to red square, and there is a tomb of lennon, stalin used toto be there, they took him out halloween night and buried him. there are actors one stalin and the other lennon. and i asked, the putin guy -- i mean the stalin guy, did you kill smiled.he the soviet people understand what happened. >> tell me about the poison d warf . the photograph with him, a internet people about george orwell 1994 memory holding that happens when people get canceled. you havee stalin next to a small guy in a uniform, the same picture the guy is airbrushed out. thated is nikolai yevhof, i never knew the connection. >> high worked in laboratory one, he did a fine job high was put in charge of the kgb . laboratory one is second laboratory that stalin used for bioweapons. stalin almost died in a like leak that occur

international trade commission chief and economists and business professor at the university of maryland i want to start with why? why can't wall street stabilize? >> a lack of confidence in the fed. inflation is clearly out of control in this sense we keep hearing it has peaked when it hasn't. the data says it hasn't. and this concern that interest rates are going to go a lot heart higher. it's hard to plan investments if you do not know where interest rates are going. bonds are a substitute for stocks for example and things of that nature. arthel: end of this is going to happen i do have to go to the governor of florida. he has an update on recovery efforts and we have time we will come back to you. right now were going live to florida which is about 70 miles east of tampa here's the governor. >> those are obviously very catastrophic images. this is a massive storm that really had a massive water dumped all over the state. the interior of the state all the way out to the east coast of florida. and so right here we came in. i saw some via air we were able to drive around and see some of

his handling of it and who sought to impeach him because he chose to follow the science and listen to the cdc and nih and to listen to johns hopkins university and the university of maryland medical center. that member of the maryland assembly was dan cox. and he stood alone. even his republican colleagues did not back that. so when we are talking about what it means and what could happen in a moore miller administration, we will listen to science and experts and keep the safety of the people of maryland first and foremost in all decisions we are going to make and we will work across the aisle and work with professionals to make sure -- in order to make those decisions. reporter: what maryland abortion laws would you expand or limit? wes moore: yes. when we talk about abortion being health care, it is important to remember who we are talking about. talking about late term abortions, 99% of abortions are not late term. truly late-term abortions, it is usually because the of medical emergency. it is usually because that family is about to make one of the most difficult decisions of their life and now has received news, chances are unexpected news, that no one would ever wan

lennon had other physical problems but the u pathologies studies at the university of maryland concludedennon cannot possibly have died of what it was claimed he died of. serendipitous death among a whole host of other deaths that occurred suggests strong evidence that you talk in the book about lennon's brain was preserved even to this day that no into any analysis of its defined in poisons that still might be there in the tissue. >> in the old days go to red squarehe when he fell in disfavr taken out on halloween night. and buried him. and there are actors. one guy playing stalin i don't know if there they are anymore, doubt it in the putin. and i asked the stalin guy could you kill lennon? and he just of smiled. i asked the lennon guy for your killed by stalin? and he nodded yes. the soviet people sort of understand what happen. >> tell me about this guy they nickname the poisoned dwarf. the thing is interesting to me about the skies the photograph of him with stalin has become a modern internet meme about the george orwell's 1984 memory cold it happens and people get canceled. everyo

for citizens to take violent action against the government according to a "washington post" university of maryland post. no public figure seems safe. capitol police have tracked more than 9,000 threats in 2021 against people in places that department is charged with protecting. just today a pennsylvania man pleaded guilty to making threats to kill democratic congressman eric swalwell and his staff. susan collins warned, quote, i wouldn't be surprised if a senator or house member were killed. what started as abusive phone calls is translated into active threats of violence and real violence. those abusive phone calls are now a regular part of life for congressman kinzinger and others. >> we're going to get you. we know where you live. we're coming to your house. we're going to get you. >> you're going to swing for [ bleep ] treason you communist [ bleep ]. >> democratic congresswoman debbie dingell of michigan has also received voice mails that would make your stomach churn. she shared this one with cnn last year after former president trump singled her out. >> i hope your family dies in front of y

elizabeth claiborne, an emergency physician at the university of maryland capital region medical centerou, fred. >> we are indeed seeing cases of rsv and flu tick up. covid-19 is still out there as well. pretty scary time for a lot of parents. as a parent yourself and a doctor, what do you recommend are the best ways to keep our kids safe right now? >> absolutely, fred. i think parents need to remember we really are having an unprecedented season for both rsv and flu and we're seeing them earlier in the year than we expected. we think that's because kids have been either out of school, at home or fully masked. this is the first winter season we're going into where a lot of both adults and children are interacting and we're seeing a rise in rsv and flu already and that means a number of children are starting to get sick and very sick unexpectedly. when the illnesses take place, sometimes they need to have an emergency intervengs such as a breathing treatment, steroids and possibly admission when they get into respiratory discretion. what i tell parents, because i know it is nerve-racking

lenin had other physical problems but pathology studies at the university of maryland and conferences conclude that lynn could not possibly have died of what, what it was he died up. and so lenin's serendipitous death among whole host of others, death that occurred right before his going to denounced stalin, he had very strong evidence that stalin to lenin. >> you talk about how lenin's brain was preserved in a jar and even to this day the russian authorities let know into any sort of analysis of it to find poison. might still be there in the tissue. >> in the old days used to go to risk of which i did this a couple of times, and in, there's a tomb of lenin. stalin used to be there and then when you fell into disfavor, they took it out on halloween night and buried him, and there are actors come one guy playing stalin, another guy playing lenin. i don't know if there are there any more i doubt, in the putin period. and i asked the putin guy, i mean, the stalin guy, did you kill lenin? and it just sort of smile. and asked the lenin guy, where you killed by stalin? and he just sort of n

maryland. he could either go there in person or write to them. that is where the unit records of. college park maryland right next to the university of maryland, the national archives in college park. >> one more question. a lot of time when you read military book it says the author has found new sources and so forth. i'm just curious, how many new sources are there for the civil war? so many things have been written. books continually come out -- >> it is a combination, and dr. carmichael will correct me if i'm wrong, it's a combination. sometimes, i'll use pennsylvania as an example. they will buy a house in pennsylvania. they go in the attic and they find a chest in the attic that has a ton of personal letters and diaries from the civil war that get into details that historians have been covered in books. those become the new sources that they're using. dr. carmichael's book is a perfect example. he focused on trying to tell stories that weren't commonly told of soldiers in the civil war -- there was a shift. years ago, civil war historian were all focused on the generals and the after action reports. >> then there was a sea ch

my grandfather started the original right next to the university of maryland.ut and a family-friendly atmosphere. rachel: why is the pizza a square? what's the decision behind that? >> there wasn't round pizza pans back in the '50s. rachel: is that for realsome? >> that is real. the baker sheets were real and readily available. will: it's really good. tell us what you're doing to give back as well for breast cancer a awareness. >> it's national pizza appreciation month as well as breast cancer month, so we give a portion of every 18-inch pizza back to local charities. pete: you just opened a franchise. >> we did, the first location many new york on 38th street between 7th and 8th avenues. we're delivering throughout most of manhattan already, and the response has been great. rachel: how's business? >> it's been good so far. a lot of people are familiar with the brand, but the new yorkers are -- rachel: how early do you open? because we order -- >> we open at 11:00 every day, but we are open late too on thursday, friday and saturday, until 1 a.m -- rachel: you c

i want to bring in university of maryland economist peter morici.se spokesperson saying that inflation reduction act will kick in next year. listen i give her a break, right? they give her talking points. they send her out there but you have got some smart people who have been around a long time selling an agenda, rather than giving a how does this help at all? >> it doesn't. they raised taxes on crude oil and look at the consequences. that along with the other policies, five refineries shut down since joe biden was elected. as a consequence, our distillate inventories are terribly low. heating oil season is coming up. americans are in for real sticker shock after the my terms are over. charles: you just brought up the distillates. i want to share with the audience how much of a crisis this is, going for climate has put everyone in jeopardy. distillates, jet fuel, home heating oil, diesel fuel, this is how they get products from point a to point b. this is where we are right now. this is 2022. you see this range, folks? that is your historic range.

international trade the commission chief and economist and business professor at the university of marylandso, peter, if 263,000 jobs were added last month, that's 13,000 more than forecast by economists, dropping the unemployment rate to 3.5%, why would a strong labor market spark concerns of higher interest rateses and a deeper recession? >> well, the economy is slowing, but it's certainly not going into a recession yet. it appears that it's decelerating. the question is does it go negative. the important thing that's been going on that is very disturbing is that each bit of news the market reacts up or down. if we get bad economic news one day, the market goes up, the fed's not going to raise rates. the next day we get good economic news, and the market goes down because they're afraid. the reality is the fed's only focusing on their inflation data, and the inflation data that are showing a clear, consistent upward trajectory. the problem is getting worse, and as long as that's the case, you can bank on the fed raising interest rates by three-quarters of a point at their next meeting unl

these very famous, large volumes of freedom, southern society projects, publish out of the university of maryland, right did my phd. but then the vast majority never appeared in print. about 100 of them are from the national archives, some from the national of congress and if you are in newspapers i was able to find. and, what these letters do is they give us a very real picture of black life in the 19th century. so these are people who are struggling in slavery, freedom or in that transition. they may be soldiers, they may be enslaved, they might be the family of soldiers. and they have tried, they have got problems they must deal with. they tried to resolve them in various ways. and in many cases, they got to the end of the line. they have nowhere left to turn, so they turned to lincoln. so i think it is just really meaningful that they write to the president about what is going on in their daily lives. because it shows, for the first time, african americans believe they have a president who cares about their welfare. who represents them, who sees them as part of the people, and that they are h

lenin had other physical problems, but pathology studies at the university of maryland and conferences concluded that lenin could not possibly have died of what? what it was claimed. he died. and so lenin's serendipitous death among a whole host of others. there's a death that occurred right before he was going to denounce stalin. so just very strong evidence stalin killed lenin. and you even talk about in the book about how lenin's brain was preserved in a jar, and even to this, the russian authorities let no one do any sort of analysis it to to find poisons that might still be there in the in the tissue and the although she used to go to red square, which i did at least a couple of times, and in the there's a tomb of lenin. stalin used to be there and then they when he fell in disfavor, they took him out on night and buried him and there are actors, one guy playing stalin, another guy playing lenin and so on. i don't know if they're there anymore. doubt it. in the putin period. and i the guy i mean, the guy. did you kill lenin? and he just sort of smiled and i asked the lenin guy, di

large volumes of the freedman and southern society project, which is published out of the university of maryland where i did my phd but then the vast majority have never appeared in print about a hundred of them are from the national archives about 20 or from the library of congress and then a few are in newspapers that i was able to find. and what these letters do is they give us a very real picture of black life in the 19th century. so these are people who are struggling in slavery or in freedom or in that transition. they may be soldiers. they may be enslaved. they might be the family of soldiers and they have tried to they've got problems that they've got to deal with and they've tried to resolve them in various ways and they've gotten in many cases to the end of the line and they have nowhere left to turn and so they turn to lincoln and i think it's just really meaningful that they write to the president about what's going on in their daily lives because it shows that for the first time african americans believe that they have a president who cares about their welfare. they that that who re

. >> and there was a "washington post" university of maryland poll back in january found that one inid that violence against the government can be justified. violence against the government can be justified. one in three. it says this is a year after the insurrection. that is a strikingly large number of people. can that be fixed? can that be addressed by politicians themselves, being very forceful in condemning members of their own party, even a powerful member like donald trump, coming out in unison and saying we are not going to accept this, this is not okay? >> yes, and i think the country does better when we have political points that adhere to certain norms of a civilized democracy. look, we saw president lincoln talk about a house divided, fred rogers talked about it, we saw eisenhower help deseg rate little rock high school, president bush number one signed the hate crimes statistics act and here is another thing, for president bush, when president bush spoke to tolerance with respect to muslims, an explosion of hate crimes against muslims dropped the very next day and into t

progressive political and social analyst and senior lecturer in african american studies at the university of maryland. thank you so much for be with us. look, the 1st question i want to ask you is that the court has been criticized the u. s. supreme court as being a group of white men making decisions for an increasingly diverse country. but i wanna bring up the picture, the family picture of the supreme court justices. is that criticism still fair now with katasha brown jackson on the bench? well, i think 1st of all, it is historic that we have such a diverse court. we have african american women and african american man, a latino. so it is a different composition that we've seen in the past. but it's more about the, the kinds of decisions that they're going to be making. and we know that conservatives have a super majority, $6.00 to $3.00 on the court. and a lot of the same decisions that we've seen in past decades could come down. now in terms of voting rights in terms of how the elections are decided in terms of. busy admission to universities with students are for students for fair admission, wh

his handling of it and who sought to impeach him because he chose to follow the science and listen to the cdc and nih and to listen to johns hopkins university and the university of maryland medical center. that member of the maryland assembly was dan cox. and he stood alone. even his republican colleagues did not back that. so when we are talking about what it means and what could happen in a moore miller administration, we will listen to science and experts and keep the safety of the people of maryland first and foremost in all decisions we are going to make and we will work across the aisle and work with professionals to make sure -- in order to make those decisions. reporter: what maryland abortion laws would you expand or limit? wes moore: yes. when we talk about abortion being health care, it is important to remember who we are talking about. talking about late term abortions, 99% of abortions are not late term. truly late-term abortions, it is usually because the of medical emergency. it is usually because that family is about to make one of the most difficult decisions of their life and now has received news, chances are unexpected news, that no one would ever wan

so it's right next to university of maryland, college park. okay. so it's the national archives in college. and one other question that a lot of times when you when you are you read a military book, it says the author has found new sources and so forth. i'm just curious, how many new sources are there for the civil war? i mean, so many things that have been written how but books come out? well, where do they get. so i'm just it's it's a it's a combination and and dr. carmichael correct me if i'm wrong it's a combination. sometimes someone will you know they'll by i'll use pennsylvania as an example they'll buy a house in pennsylvania and then they'll go in the attic and they find a chest in the attic that has ton of personal letters and diaries from the civil war that into details that historians haven't covered in various books. and then those become the new sources that they're using. actually, dr. carmichael's books are example where he focused on you trying to tell stories that weren't commonly told of soldiers in the civil using. so there was a
