members of the congressional black caucus and sheila jackson lee. delegate eleanor holmes norton.th of you. congresswoman jackson lee, i wonder your thoughts as you reflect on this candidacy. >> well, we're making history tonight, joining myself with a great leader herself. eleanor holmes norton. i'm delighted to be with her. there was much reflection but a lot of tears and a lot of reflection on the history of what we're making today. what i would say is that so many women have tried to climb that mountaintop that dr. martin luther king spoke of in the early 1800s during the truth, tried to move into the suffragette movement. we know madam c.j walker, tried to be a businesswoman. madam jordan, fanny lou. today it is evident there is an affirmation of not only black women, but women of southeast asia, women of color that they have finally reached a status where they are affirmed in this nation as equal partners, and this mountain that we have all been trying to climb, kamala has taken us to the mountaintop. it's an enormously important moment and it's based upon her own history an

jackson lee: mr. attorney general, i want to respect you, but i have a short time. 18 usc section 242 makes unlawful the denial of lights under the law. can you defend the fact that in the first several months of fy 2020, federal prosecutors filed only 242 charges in just 27 cases in the trump doj, and were you aware that in fy 2019 federal prosecutors brought two section 242 charges in just 49 cases in the united states and you are aware of how may cases we have had? 2019, only 27fi out of avril -- out of every 100,000 prosecutors related to section 242 charges. do you have a reason for that? a.g. barr: yes i do. i will get you the numbers. there are criminal prosecutions under 241 and 240 two are extremely strong and comparable to if not exceed prior administrations. at the beginning of this year, very few jurisdictions had grand juries that were open. rep. jackson lee: i think the reason is because it was not your focus. your focus was to let out friends like roger stone and paul manafort while tam

and i agree with congresswoman jackson lee. it's a healing ticket. you just look at the ticket, and it says something. before they say a word about, yes, we can come together, which is what we're seeing in some of the peaceful protesters, we can come together. i thought it was flawless. two great speeches. i think they felt very comfortable together. >> today donald trump -- it is almost like he just sort of re-did a tweet he did the other day about invasion of low-income people to suburban areas and how for some reason he keeps talking about corey booker being in charge of it, which makes zero sense. but this suburban housewives tweet, i don't know who calls anybody a suburban housewife, but kamala harris has got to have some appeal to some of these people that donald trump is thinking he's appealing to. there are a whole lot of women in this country looking at kamala harris who are not republicans who, you know, who are looking at her saying, this is kind of amazing. >> well, i always say when people talk about suburban women, that all women are no

but with me now, democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas. congresswoman, a pleasure to have you back. welcome. >> it's good to be with you. pleasure to be with you. >> i -- sorry, say again congresswoman. >> hello to all of your viewers. >> oh, my goodness. hello to the viewers. i wab to talk about your tweets because you wrote in part, quote, i have tears in my eyes but joy in my soul. i'm so overwhelmed as i know that women around the nation, women of color and yes, black women could see their equal status in this nation finally. we have lived through the election, congresswoman, of the first black president. we could see the election of the first black and first south asian-american woman vice president and i know you told anderson cooper it takes women of color to the mountain top that martin luther king preached. is this something you actually thought you would see? >> well, i know that joe biden is a good man. i know that there was an enormous amount of advocacy and emphasis and i've used the word pressure in a good way from african-am

. >> representative jackson lee knows it. >> congress has the responsibility to do something. >> andot of people who are going to be president know it. >> it's time to start the national, full-blown conversation about reparations. >> i agree with what elizabeth is saying. >> of course you do, bernie. reparations ain't exactly coming yet, but it looks like the united states is finally ready to have the discussion about talking about reparations. reparations, meaning that the united states would pay back black folks for all the free labor it got during slavery and all the damage done to the black community every day since. there's no better place to have that conversation than new orleans. there's no city in the country that combines the best of america's blackness, pain of american's racism, and pain of watching white folks exercising all of their rights. i've been coming to new orleans since i was a kid. vacationed with my family here. i know the city and its history. as much as it's been identified as party city, can turn a corner and feel like you walked smack dab into the antebell

sheila jackson lee for five minutes. >> we'll get to ms. jackson lee when she comes back. i will now recognize the gentleman from rhode island, mr. jim langdon -- thank you sheila is there? shall i yield? >> continue. okay, thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank our witnesses for their testimony today. very helpful insights to your views on election security and, you know, to conduct successful. the commission also made several strong recommendations regarding media literacy and service education in ways to build resiliency, to disinformation campaigns. we've seen some nascent efforts at the federal level, for instance, sisa's they call it pineapple pizza campaign, but the commission believes much more needs to be done at some level of dis or misinformation. do you agree with this assessment? also it's recommended that it needs to be spread out across a lifetime. can't be a single class. and have people better understand the changing media landscape. how should we think about it as a broader strategy? for any of the witnesses who want to start. >> this is john gillian. m

next up, please welcome congresswoman sheila jackson lee. is serving her 13th term as a member of the united states house of representatives. she serves the 18th congressional district of texas, centered in houston. the energy capital of the world and sits on three congressional committees. the house committee, the judiciary and homeland security committee, and the budget committee. she is the author of the emancipation national historic trail study act and the lead sponsor for hr 40, to commission to study and develop reparation proposals for african-americans. please welcome congresswoman sheila jackson lee. [cheers and applause] rep. jackson-lee: i am a black mother who happens to be a congresswoman. i am a black mother who happens to understand that black lives do matter, every single day of my life. standing on these historic steps, grabbing onto the history of what the lincoln monument means to all of us who have a birthright in this nation to be able to live in dignity, i understand the words of dr. martin luther king, who said that t

. >> joining me now is congresswoman sheila jackson lee. you know, if the president was as strong and powerful a man, as he often says he is, he could have just said, you know what? of course, she is an american. she was born in oakland, california. she's an american citizen. we're going to run against her, and we're going to beat that team, based on, you know, we have better policies for this country. that's not what he did. >> well, anderson, that might have been, if we had someone in the white house who was leading this nation and leading this nation as a president for all of this nation. but can you imagine 165,000 dead from covid-19, failures of this administration. many of whom are african-americans and latinx. and yet, in the midst of this crisis, he chooses to participate in nasty, racist, distracting comments about an american citizen, who happens to be a black woman. and it isn't three days or four days but less than, almost, 24 hours of her being selected by vice president biden. making much of america happy and the world taking

and support congressman jackson lee with her legislation. ere's also legislation for department of -- lee needed department the highest level of this government with the secretary of reconciliation to reconcile issues related to whole persons who are in protective. i think these other issues that are being raised by my colleagues i think we should support that. cement that is my opinion. let me move to the policy person on the panel. , what are your thoughts about taking this to a different level? having a department of reconciliation? also the issue of something with healing and transformation and issues that congresswoman jackson. [inaudible] >> yes thank you so much congressman green. so vic i apologize >> no worries, no worries. think of your question. and we could not agree more. i think this is really the moment in time where we need a true reckoning. when you look at not only the data from stop api hates. also a recent pew study, not only are asian americans being verbally assaulted. but also african americans. and the pew study found

jackson-lee has 11 seconds. see if you can fill those. >> in the case of our inspection, congresswoman, we did ask those questions, trusting the leadership. and in the interviews with them, we tried to bore into why they would not report. a variety of reasons, very personal decisions as to why they wouldn't report. certainly concern about how they would be perceived by others was one of the various reasons. >> thank you. i want to join with the congressman to say that we need to deal with the sergeants and ncos, there's got to be a better culture for the young people, the enlisted men and women. i yield back. >> i want to thank our two witnesses for their system today. it's important as we study this issue to recognize that colonel wempe's investigation was not scientifically based and you cannot extract from that that it is relevant to the entire force. i think you would agree with that, dr. galbreath, correct? thank you. we'll have our second panel come forward. >> hearing will come back to order. i welcome ou

toin: i put that question congresswoman sheila jackson lee , the chairwoman of the subcommittee on cyberelligence and the deputy whip of the democratic caucus. what she said is it is an issue of western alliances, restoring western alliances versus the go it alone. she consistently says that a biden administration would favor multilateral conversations not just on the economy and foreign policy versus a unilateral approach from president trump. tom: i've heard this from a great number of people, multilateralism or bilateral is him that we have seen from president trump erie it will secretary pompeo underscore that today in his speech? kevin: i think what he is going to make the case on is on israel, the president's support for israel and taking a tougher stance against the communist party in china, but i also think they have pushed back on the notion that they haven't been able to get allies on board in areas of agreement. if you look for example on the building of a 5g network that moves away from china, they would be able to have success on that front. comekevin cirilli with us our chi

>> i just got a phone call from congresswoman sheila jackson lee. if she's calling me, there must be some action happening. i think she's co-sponsors hr-40 which has been a bill they tried to push forward for years. this next election will determine if we're ready to take on this conversation, because i'm sure they will be trying to forward that conversation. >> what do you make of birtherism rising up again in this election this time when it comes to kamala harris being on the ticket with joe biden? >> i think so much of racism is institutional and structural. if you had black people that birtherism debate wouldn't same the same way. from what i can see, the editors of the opinion section are white, the guy who wrote it was white. they said we didn't see this coming. that's because you don't have black people in position to speak up. the fact we had it before is horrible, and the fact there aren't enough black people in power to prevent it this time is equally horrible. >> thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and conversation. >> hang you. >>>

jon: perhaps it is no surprise that representative sheila jackson lee of california is saying that her expectation or her desire would be that the former vice president pick a black female to be his vice president. listen. >> this vice presidential search is going to be based upon the comfort level that joe biden s has. what african-american women want everyone to know that african-american women have been talented, ready to lead, ready to lead in the cabinet in all levels of government. jon: how important would you say -- i mean were you a part of the biden selection process? how important would you say it is for the former vice president to pick an african-american? >> he certainly has a lot of problems with the gaffes he's making on racial issues. he just had another one yesterday. i think this is a reach for him. i think -- i agree with the congresswoman. there's plenty of qualified african-american women to do that job, to serve in the cabinet of course. but whether the two most outspoken that are on the top of the list seem to be senator kamala harris from california and susan ri

after he left dog congress, representative sheila jackson lee took over saying, can we talk about reparations far the answer from america has been, no. >> you can come one a bill for everything else. nobody has any trouble talking about how many billions for medicare for all. so you have to come to me with the same plans you come to everybody else with. with a budget. i think this election year is a good way to hold candidates accountable. >> a lot of the critique has been, ados is telling black people not to vote. if black people don't vote, we end up with four more years of trump. >> if everybody has to live with it another four years because we don't come out in drove who's won't do anything specifically for us, that's not our fault. trump is not my reparations. we haven't encouraged anybody to stay the a home but we have encouraged vote the down ballot. the top of the ticket gets no love unless you come to us and say we have a reparations plan which includes financial outlays of money. we have a budget attached to this. that's what we're pushing for. looks like they picked the wrong getaw

on the ticket and both her parents being immigrants and last night hearing congresswoman sheila jackson-lee quoting the late dr. martin luther king saying she is taking us to the mountaintop on the day before he was killed. talk about this for black women across the country that have done so much for the democratic party. >> so much for the democratic party and we saw that start to be expressed in a very vocal way as in the days leading up to the announcement yesterday. more than 700 elected african-american women, people who were activists in and around the country signed a letter saying it is our time. we have made sure that democrats have been elected over and over again in modern history and it is our time to be represented, and we saw the same from some african-american men, some very prominent african-american men in the democratic party, but it's not as if joe biden needed that to be reminded. the only reason why joe biden is the presumptive democratic nominee is because of the robust african-american vote and support that he got. he was, you know, going nowhere. he was finishing fou

. >> congressman clyburn, we heard your colleague congresswoman sheila jackson lee last night on thisout how senator harris is in the worlds of the late great dr. king helping black women reach the mountaintop. his famous words the day before he was assassinated and i wonder if you could speak to that from your position in congress, but also as a black man in america. you know, as a father for your family, for the african-american community this moment. >> well, thanks for mentioning that. i'm the father of three african-american women. >> yeah. >> i talk with them all day, every day. hardly a day goes by that i don't talk to all three of them and sometimes all through the day. i know about their dreams and aspirations. my wife passed last september and i learned a lot about her dreams and aspirations. now, another thing. when you are around people whose backgrounds are so much different from yours, it gives you some insight, some perspective on how to conduct yourself. i believe that this candidate exemplifies that. she had some difficulties growing up. now, i came from the two-paren

your time's expired. >> yield back, thank you. >> miss jackson lee, you're recognized for five minutes. >> [inaudible] >> your microphone. >> certainly thank the previous panel as well for their service. would you kindly, both of you, just give me, miss bryant, i want to call you captain. what was your time of service? what years were you in? >> i served in active duty from 2001 through to 2009, ma'am. >> and miss del gaudio? >> from '90 to '98, active and reserve. >> so in the course of both of you, there were conflicts, wars that this nation was involved in and i would imagine every single soldier was valuable and should have been considered as such. as i understand, miss guillen's last days as she came in on a day off or extended herself as any good soldier, wasn't at a picnic, was there counting arsenal weapons, if you will, and she was doing her job. so i'm going to pose this line of questions. i understand her family came up, as close as they are, in the getting that regular call, the very day that she was missing and arrived about 2:30 a.m. in the morning, but did not get seen u

jackson lee. good to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> let's get to the names.at governor with itmer met approximate biden. we have seen reports of kamala harris, susan rice, karen bass, all of them being top contenders. where do you see this going? what do you make of it all? >> first alex, let me first indicate that we lost a great firefighter here in houston, jerry fuchacho, he died of covid-19. he was a firefighter and a medic: we memorialized him. clearly we know how important his life is and continues to be. i just wanted to emphasize that we are all in this together. when we talk about the vice presidential sweeps, the vp sweep, you really have to look to the man that will be president of the united states based upon the compassion, the policies, and all that he has. it is extremely important to emphasize that this candidate, this vice presidential search, is going to be based upon a comfort level that joe biden has. there are a world of talented women that are involve. i think what african-american women across the nation want everyone to know, that afri

sheila jackson lee for five minutes. >> i will now recognize the gentleman from rhode island. >> thank you, mr. chairman i want to thank the witnesses further teste testimony today ir views on election security. this is the cornerstone of our democracy and we want to make sure that our elections are both free and secure. in that media literacy and ways to build resiliency to the disinformation campaigns we have seen some efforts at the federal level, for instance, assistant principal with a cocoa pineappe pizza campaign to the commission believes much more needs to be done at some level of misinformation is inevitable given our commitment as a society for free speech. do you agree on this assessment, and also the commission recommends the civic media literacy needs to be spread out across a lifetime. it can't be a single class when teaching high school and they better understand the changing media landscape. how should we think that the voter resilience as part of our broad election security strategy? >> for any of the witnesses that want to start. >> my focus and by organizations focu
