It added that there is so much Carbon Dioxide and other Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere, that the warming will last at least several decades. But there is a silver lining.

Boat that capsized just off the coast of san diego. Officials say it looks like smuggling. And last night we asked you for your photos of things that helped raise your perspective in these troubled times. I call it the observatory effect. And you did not disappoint. We will share some of our favorites throughout the hour. From nbc news World Headquarters in new york, im joshua johnson. Welcome to the week. Well, President Biden had a good week. He marked his 100 days in office delivering his first president ial speech to a joint session of congress. A new poll out today shows that nearly twothirds of americans expressed optimism about the direction of the country. The last time we came close to that level of optimism was in december of 2006. I often think about a quote from abraham lincoln. Public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail. Against it, nothing can succeed.

Other organizations that have pulled this together. I am so glad this is happening and i am so grateful to for to you for having me. To those who are not here, because they are currently ensnared in the system we seek to improve, i wish you were here to wow this crowd. You are the center of this work. I would like to recognize everyone who has been incarcerated. You are the north stars of this movement. To come out of prison and then focus your time and energy on reforming that same system is an act of grace. To all of you who are doing this work out of necessity, because the criminal Justice System found you and not the other way want to say thank you. I recognize it is a privilege to be doing this work electively, not because life depends on it. Those of you who are here because you are curious, thank you for being here.

As such, i got to go to the Central California womens facility recently, october 12, to visit with the residents, as they call them there. And common, who showed up to perform a concert for 800 of the women there, young, old, everyone had a great time. If you are curious to read about it, you can see it on the american injustice package that variety and Rolling Stone published today. But i bring that up to address again that word, residents. That they have for the women who are incarcerated there. Not inmates, not prisoners, residents. There is an inherent dignity in that word. And it is being conveyed, not just when they speak about these women, but also how they extensively, at least in front of us, are treating them. Certainly, i think when we approach this topic that we are about to discuss, we have to think first about the humanity of the incarcerated. We have to think about how demeaned and how much is sto
Did i say were live, i mean we are live. Anything can go wrong, anything can happen. I can say anything they cant edit it out. Scoobitybopjabablap. How about that. I dont know about you but i was nervous today. The whole day updating social media waiting to hear the results but now the votes are in and its official, idris elba sexiest person alive. Oh man. Else so worried he would lose the vote. There was another vote that had me worried today. Yes, the mid terms. The day when voters were officially going to decide, is America Racist or is it openly racist. Right now some people are like its racist, why dont you go back to south africa because its also racist, thats why i like it here it reminds me of home. It was touch and go for a while today. The blue wave was looking like a smurf and what was worse that the results just wouldnt come in. The whole day. Like the last few hours its just been too close to call, too early to call. We texted america u up and all we could see is that litt
