threshold having been achieved the bill is passed. the bill is aimed at curbing china s economic influence. it would invest in u.s. technology, science and research. a hard line research to beijing is one of the few issues that unites an increasingly divided u.s. congress. the chinese communist party aims to exploit all of these divisions. they aim to exploit the insecurities of a global age. they aim to ensure that their power and their capabilities continue to grow and they are indeed locked in a global competition with the united states of america and with our partners and allies. so let s do what we ve always done as americans in times like this, let s come together and let s use this as an opportunity to become a better version of ourselves. i believe that this legislation will enable the united states to outinnovate, outproduce and outcompete the
investigationy so that the intelligence department can give us more clarity about the origins of the virus and we need to prepare for the future. and among the things we re considering are that in the united states, the endless frontier act, my legislation working with republicans and democrats alike to invest in the technologies of the future that will allow the united states to the outgrow, outinnovate and outcompete the chinese communist party. let me ask you. the biden administration is leaning on the world health organization to investigate the wuhan lab theory. obviously that s they are more we we are more likely to get some answers from w.h.o. which china is party to than, you know, they are not going to let the cia come in and give it a look. sure. but do you think any findings from from the world health organization will be credible at this point? well, look, they are certainly in need of great reform. perhaps replacement as an entity. in fact, i led a hearing on
hard for my money the economy creates good, middle class jobs that pay well and offer security. that fight is worth fighting for. we have to be able to outbuild and outeducate and outinnovate every other country on earth. richard trumka, afl-cio president joins me now from los angeles. mr. trumka, good to have you with us tonight. certainly you have a big convention next week. a lot of hot topics. the numbers are a little staggering. last year only 11.3% of american workers were unionized. that s the lowest percentage in nearly a century. 30 years ago, 20.1% were unionized. and unions some say are in a crisis situation right now. what do you say? i say we are in a crisis situation right now, ed. we re at a crossroads. we can actually look backwards and complain about what everything that has happened and all the things we haven t done, or we can look at ourselves
