Policy. When we host the summit of democracy early in my administration, to rally the nation, to defend democracy globally, to push back the authoritarianism, it will be more important to shore up our own foundations. Theres no longer a bright line between foreign and domestic policy. Every action we take and our conduct abroad, we must take with american Working Families in mind. Advancing the Foreign Policy for the middle class has to center on economic renewal. Thats why i immediately put forth the American Rescue plan. Pull us out of this economic crisis. Thats why i signed an Executive Order strengthening our buy american policies last week. Its also why i worked with congress to make farreaching investments in research and development of trans formidable technologies. These investments will maintain jobs and ensure all americans share in the dividends. If we invest in ourselves and our people, if we fight to ensure American Business is our position to compete and win on the globa
There is no substitute for what happens in the classroom in those moments of looking over a kids shoulder, seeing what they are working on, being able to correct them. John Martha Maccallum away and in a moment. But the latest on San Francisco schools, hi, claudia. Hi, john. City officials have run out of patience saying the Board Of Education and the School District have failed to lay out a conference of plan to get kids back into classrooms as soon as possible. Thats a violation of state laws of the city is taking its own district to court. Its been nearly 11 months since students here in San Francisco, along with millions of others across the nation started learning remotely. While many other districts and even San Franciscos private schools have resumed in person classes, Public Schools here remain closed. Even though the citys own Health Department says they could reopen safely with proper precautions. The City Attorney says District Leadership needs to get its act together. Unfor
Mitigation plans in our schools, that was, until the ctu blew up that success and created chaos that we are now enduring. We waited for hours last night. Hours, and still did not receive a proposal from the Chicago Teachers Union leadership and as of this morning, we are still waiting. But to be clear, not patiently, not anymore. We are failing those children by not giving them the option to return to school. Failing grades, depression, isolation, and so much more. My patience for delays from ctu leadership is over. Jesse San Francisco has had enough as well be at the situation is a ridiculous that the city is now suing its own Public School district to get classrooms reopened. Where is joe biden in the Democratic Party for all of this . Why isnt he backing up local leaders in San Francisco with mayor lightfoot . Michael bloomberg seems to have an idea why. He is telling the president , grow a backbone. Its time for joe biden to stand up and say that kids are the most important things.
Joining us this hour. Heres an interesting thing. Sort of a personal thing, but also a news thing. Right before President Trump was impeached the first time, i published a book called blow out and the weird surprising to me thing about blow out is that tended up being oddly well timed. I had no idea it was going to be well timed when i set out to write it, but thats how it landed. It was a book about the Oil And Gas Industry and the political power and geopolitical power of that industry. And a big chunk of that book was about all of the craziness and Corruption In Ukraine. And of course, then, right at the time the book came out, all the craziness and Corruption In Ukraine ended up being the setting, like the Playing Field for what President Trump got impeached for the first time he got impeached. I did not intend it to land that way. It was fortuitous and i hope helpful to people trying to figure out that landscape while we were looking at that first impeachment. Now, of course, mr.
Well timed. That is how it landed. A book about the Oil And Gas Industry and a big chunk of the book was about the craziness and the corruption in the ukraine. Then it was the playing field. I didnt intend it to land it that way. Well, now of course mr. Trump is being impeached for a second time. And it is kind of uncanny, a lot of the things that i wrote about in the book that came out in the first trump impeachment. The whole reason that i wrote the book is because we were consistently underestimating the sway of this one industry. How much sway it has over politicals and governments here and around the world. I thought there was a need for a explainer and how the industry could explain. If something is happening that does not make sense on the surface it helps to look at the industry and see if they are maybe The Hidden Hand, when politics fail or governments are bad. This is a place to look. One thing to say here is the hidden power that is making it possible or impossible and call
