so, so i will crack down on crime that is paralyzing our city as i've done for 42 years, i am the compassionatete that will care for the emotionally disturbed, the homeless, and our friends, the cats and dogs are euthanized neff tripper thank you very much. now an opening statement from fernando mateo. mateo: my name is fernando mateo and for the last 30 years i have done real things to change real lives in new york city. started making 89 when i went to rikers island and i taught, trained and found employment for first-time nonviolent offenders. in 1993 as rudy giuliani, the first republican mayor that we had 20 years ago, came into office we were able to get thousands of guns off the city street. in 1999 we form new york state federation of taxi drivers and we saved thousands of lives of cabdrivers that work our city streets. and in 2,002,002 we did the same for the data owners are getting shot, , rob, looted, murdered. we were able to change lives of so many people in new york city. i am compelled to run for mayor of new york city because it's the right time. we need a mayor like me. we need

i bet they will not vote for another one. but they understood that this was not something the nra does not ask for, that the nssf doesn't ask for. i spent the weekend going through all the material the nra and the nssf, and there was not one place i read or watched where it said you should leave a loaded, unsecured firearm in your home if you have children. i'm just asking them to do what they so meticulously and so brilliantly explained for each gun owner. we are not going after the responsible gun owners, we are going after negligent gun owners, as in my case. ethan's best friend grew up with guns, he was trained by the nra on guns. his father took him to the shooting range, his father carried a gun for work. this was not a child who was unfamiliar with how to safely handle a firearm. and yet he went into his father's closet, pulled out the shoe with the three guns and bullets -- shoebox with the three guns and bullets and introduced my son to what would be his ultimate death. >> does the nssf support ethan's law in connecti

and i will continue to do so. i think this is, you know, we swear a note to the constitution -- an oath to the constitution of the united states. i encourage every member of this organization, military and civilian, to do the same. you have a certain expectation -- you have a certain expert tatian from the people of this apartment and we will live up to that expectation. >> i would echo what the secretary says. we swear an oath,\ to the constitution -- we swear an oath to the constitution. we must be apolitical and not play partisan politics. it is important to remain apol itical. we fought this heart -- we fought this hard. the united states always has been and will always be an apo litical institution. >> you are as likely right. in any form, we make sure we make sure we are apolitical. my time has ended. madam chair, i yield back. >> thank you. >> thank you, madam chair. thank you, ranking member, for holding this hearing. i appreciate it very much. to the secretary in general, thank you for being with us today.

i did. does the family. up that will have a lot of flea violin feel etc and again that i mean i have all the enough would know the time. i'm doomed from of the idea you tell us do it right here be. simple correct it best to get all of my ideal woman moms of kids oh i have diverted most of them can and buckle up by is that one of us unless a law to start filing is the 1st to be so lot about bend you know most of the taliban 5 women i let them out in where it nanda my job it was a tiny amount and all of that i am. and when it's our michael. they have been against our mikey never makea remember our. best. man they can not the reality me. michel i'm a real. we have. one of the if. and if the sad but our future was to. have been there never has been how good. a good human has less michael in this matter for the. problems with wait a minute and in that hour what was that hour you know what i will be what has been a call about the law the getting. out of one of the work of a lotto. would that. be a thought in my opinion and the

i will tell you, there is a price at which it is too watered-down. ot think the absence of qualified immunity is that. i think if we can get everything except that i say pass it and do not quit and keep going. that is what i say, and some of my friends will get mad at me for saying these things but i am not telling them to not write and i am -- fight and i am not telling them to get everything they can. at the same time, if you cannot get the whole, get 99% of it. >> attorney general ellison, just so i am clear, if qualified immunity is not in the george floyd test is a policing act and that is the one thing that could be done to get past you would say, democrats, vote for. a.g. ellison: keep going, i am sorry. >> may be does not have to go that far because one of the things that has been on the table is for qualified immunity, only stripping it away from the individual police officers and making it possible for people to sue police departments as a way of holding police accountable for their actions. is that a worthwhile compromise? a.g. ellison: i t

i believe that we will. one of the reasons why this is the most important hearing in my view that i have -- that we have is that what we do is we learn of the discoveries to cure that you are engaged in and what you are doing. what is it that we learn what your future research will result in and what it can do, and we know that the resources that we provide for a specific area can in fact lead to the discovery in so many other areas. and, it is with the goal of saving lives, and as i said a few moments ago there is not anymore important mission. i always say i represent a state that deals with helicopters, roads, bridges and all kinds of issues, but nothing is more important than the content and subject matter of today's hearing. i will again repeat the tremendous success of covid-19, how the mrna technology, this is the biomedical research that you have been working on, and you never know. you can tell is better than we can tell you because we are not scientists, you never know where the years and decades of

>> i will start. this is jill. we definitely, we publish products saying that we agree that that is something we should pay attention to as we go into the future. >> thank you. mr. wiegmann? >> that is my understanding as well. >> okay. so this month "the washington post" reported based on multiyear data collected by the center for strategic and international studies and incidents of domestic terrorism have quote, soared to new heights in the united states, driven chiefly by white supremacists, anti- muslim and antigovernment extremists on the far right. again, toss up for both of you. do agree with that analysis and if not, could you elaborate. >> sure, i will start. i'm not familiar specifically with that analysis but 2019 was the deadliest year since oklahoma city bombing so yes, it's definitely an increase in lethality and the trend i mentioned in my opening, interestingly, lester the majority of the attacks were from those who espoused antigovernment, anti- authority violent extremism. >> thank yo

i will yield back. k you. >> let me recognize senator rosen. >> i would also like to thank you for testifying for your willingness to serve. it's a very important position and so i would like to talk about the army cyber security personnel when we were able to meet earlier this week we really have to address those challenges of establishing the deterrence in cyberspace outlining the defendant forward approach meaning identifying the adversaries engaging in the operations to disrupt the attackers infrastructure and aggressively preventing attacks before they happen. it's been reported russian intelligence breached the networks of multiple government agencies and private companies by exploiting the vulnerabilities in the solar system so this recent attack on the united states demonstrates that we need to continue to increase our investments in cyber security including cultivating the personnel to do the jobs. personnel that can rise to these challenges presented by russia or china or whomever else. it call

i suspect that's one of the topics i will be talking about with president putin. >> reporter: are you confident putin was not involved? >> i am confident that i read the report of the fbi accurately, and they say he was not, the government was not. >> reporter: the press release says knowingly encouraging private sectors companies to follow the lead, but in the face of profit it's skwefpy. what steps is the administration taking to ensure people -- >> you asked three different questions, as i understand it. the bottom line is that i cannot dictate that the private companies do certain things relative to cyber security. a lot of you are very seasoned reporters and have been covering the debate on capitol hill since before i became president, and it's into privacy issues and a whole range of things. that's going to be an ongoing negotiation. i think it's becoming clear to everyone that we have to do more than being done now and the federal government can be significant value added in having that happen. >> yes? >> will you consider doing any kind of retaliatory cyber attacks to shutdown

>> you know, i don't know that there will be a vote next week. i don't know the outcome for that. i do know that republicans, you know, we are a melting pot of americans. we have melting pot of ideas we are certainly unified in my view on the things that matter. and i think that's where our strength still lies. >> bret: is this why you are leaving the infighting here? >> oh, absolutely not. i love my job. i have had a chance to do big things for this country. and i am -- i have as much faith, frankly, in congress in this country as the day i walked, in maybe more. so, no, look, 25 years it's been a wonderful opportunity for my wife and i it's the right time. >> bret: you have had a heck of a career. my question is for the former president stirring the pot going back to the last election saying that it was stolen, do you believe the election was stolen? >> so i will say this, i accept the results of this election as i would have but for covid accept the results of the electoral college as well. i do think we have great policies from president trump that frankly i was proud to be pa

i will also say we have made some significant steps in that regard. i would also say both the national air and space intelligence center and dia recently published some very good unclassified products on the threats we face. they have been more forthcoming in those products than we have seen in many years. i would start there as a great means to operate our friends and allies in terms of the threats we face. i will pass it to general cleveland. >> good morning again and thank you for the question. absolutely agree with the need to be publishing at an unclassified level or being prepared to declassify as needed. whether it is in space or it is in the broader efforts we are doing as an agency, it is clear we are, as a nation, competing in the information environment. we think at nga we have quite a bit to contribute to that. in some instances, i think it is an effort to declassify, but we also need to focus on how we can publish at a level that can be released immediately and can enable decision-makers to share that information as needed. in terms of our

in conclusion, i will be supporting -- i will not be supporting -- i will work forward-looking with you -- working with you in a bipartisan fashion to provide the department with a reasonable amount of resources to accomplish your important core missions. i look forward to working with you on the policy concerns that i've raised today. once again, madam secretary, welcome to the committee. i yelled back. -- i yield back. rep. quigley: thank you mr. womack. thank you secretary yellen for being here today. we would ask you to please summarize your opening statement in proximally five minutes. sec. yellen: thank you. chairman quigley, ranking member womack, thank you for inviting me today. i would say -- first i want to briefly discuss the state of our economy and the state of the treasury department. i believe one depends on the other. our economy is recovering from the pandemic. we still have a long road ahead of us. i expect economists will look back on this decisions to enact the american rescue plan very favorably. you have the option to provide a few -- where continued support to see

and then you say i will just power through it? >> it was extremely raw. i had a great co-author she made all the difference in the world. i basically waited until the end to make the final commitment. i gave all the money to my high school. i liked the way it read. it was truthful and i felt that spoke to the people i work with. everybody watching this in the era of covid when all the years of crisis leadership. my hope is that people can grab the book and read a story of the financial crisis are going to china and say if i put myself in his shoes on that decision he made or did not make. i hope it gives people the courage to make decisions and get judged and move on. we live in the era there is no nuance. you better just be willing to make decisions, take the heat and keep going. >> i enjoyed this tonight. i hope our audience has i just want to wrap up by asking if there's anything you would like to leave them with? >> no i hope people read it how much your friendship has meant to me how much we love you. >> it's great to stand the hour

to kristin and mike, i just want to say we're not done. we will not be done until we pass ethan's law in the united states congress. and your being here today means the world. we'll do everything we can to pass ethan's law and i ask my colleagues across the aisle and on our side to help us do it. of particular interest, i hope to my colleagues, are the 33 states including texas that have already adopted some form of safe storage access law. it's on the books in those states. it varies from state to state. what we need is a national standard now. and there is a reason that those states have passed those laws. because they work. they work to prevent deaths and injury. "unloaded firearms can be secured with a firearm locking device to make them safe, unoperable. unloaded firearms can be stored in a lock cabinet, safe, firearm vault or storage case." that's a quote from the national shooting sports foundation instruction to gun owners. thank you mr. bartozzi for being here today and for the program that nssf sponsors. that strong boxes and security ca

i will submit my written statement for the record. rep. coope wer: when i hear from our first witness, mr. hill. mr. hill: this subcommittee understands the importance of space-based capabilities to our national security and the destabilizing challenges from russia and china. the increasing threats of those capabilities are also well-known. the growth of russian and chinese counterspace capabilities are threats to uis -- two u.s. and allied activities. they view space as critical to modern warfare and consider the use of counterspace capabilities as a means of reducing military effectiveness and winning future wars. the united states must now be prepared for conflict to instead to or originate in space. to be clear, such a conflict would not be a space war. it would rather represent the extension of traditional armed conflict into the space domain of human endeavor. within the office of the secretary of defense for space policy, we are focused on the integration of policy, plans, appropriate capabilities to develop a space posture that cont

i just think that -- i will not be deterred here. if you look for the signals, again -- i got dissed by some of my democrat colleagues, it is not big enough, it is a joke, a slap in the face. but, it could have been worse. there could have been more people saying, forget you. and so, i said what tim said. let's send it to the committee to see what they can do and that is how we should do it. i am optimistic we can do this, it is something we have done for decades together. i am ever hopeful i will get to that signing -- i'm not the kind think it will definitely happen but there is light here and i am getting a lot of encouragement from democrats, repugnance, and the white house to keep moving forward. sen. kaine: what i said about shelley's plan i said i want the size of it to be bigger but her effort is good. we are saying the same thing. here is a thing for people to pay attention to, what if we get to the end and reloaded the infrastructure bill and will be bipartisan. what if we get to the end of the day and there is an infrastruc

i hope that will be resolved soon, and i can assure you that a lot today's will be published just as—— all of today's figures. you will be able to access those on the scottish government website. however, what we know from our recent run of daily statistics is that over the past few weeks, the success of the vaccination programme, the huge success, and of course i want to convey again my thanks to everyone involved in that, but its success coupled with the continued high compliance on the part of the general population with the various rules and restrictions that have beenin rules and restrictions that have been in place, all of that has combined to ensure a continued suppression of the virus. since i last stood here to give a briefing, cases have continued to fall from an average of 226 new cases a day to 177 new cases a day on average now. that said, in the last week, we have seen a very slight increase in cases. that is driven largely by the situation in moray that i have referred to already, and will come onto a bit more fully shortly. but the situation in moray together with the

i will remind you, mr. chair, you and i spoke earlier, i will be in and out, so the representative will be filling in when i can. today's subcommittee has a rare opportunity to for true bipartisanship as we listen to testimony on the public lands removed -- renewable development energy act, idea created and developed for the better part of a decade by my friend and member of this subcommittee, paul gosar. it is common sense to the burdensome process of permitting that is an important component. everybody here knows that the process gets hijacked by activist lawyers seeking to make a buck. if it takes a year and a half longer to build a highway or a solar project, the lawyers get paid a year and a half more billable hours. creating reform is needed and the remaining provisions from the renewable energy development act not included last year in the omnibus are a great first start. therefore the representatives language before us today is a great opportunity for a strong bipartisan message on getting energy pro

particularly, i will be speaking to the party. my long game is optimism. i think that america always comes out on top. we have never basically failed the next generation. what that means is that we need to be clear eyed about where we are. i paid attention to politics since i was six years old. i became a republican. my parents were. i appreciated the optimism of ronald reagan and i consider one of the better political leaders of the century. i looked at all of that. what i have started to see was a party that stuck to its policies but began to be infected by grievance driven politics. it will mask itself as conservatism. the truth is i am more conservative than some of my folks out there who think i am a rhino. that means republican in name only. i was a republican before trump. policy has been replaced by personal grievance. it is really motivating when you get angry. that is what it is. leaders have learned that fear and conspiracy drives profits and it drives votes. fear is the most compelling human emotion. if you say that nancy pelosi will destroy thi

i will remind you, if necessary, when your time is up. with these a ministry of tasks out of the way i would like to focus our attention on the hearing at hand. i will reserve the majority of my opening remarks for the second panel and in our first panel we will hear from the parents of two of the nine young americans who died on july 30. those nine young men volunteered to serve the country and they died because of a fully preventable training accident. and a total disregard for their safety. this tragedy should never have happened. it resulted from a cascading series of failures, all of which were preventable. i can think of no better way to begin this hearing and to take a moment to honor their memory and i am going to read the names of the terrines and one sailor that we lost and then i would ask for a moment of silence. first, private first class, lance corporal, private first class, navy hospital corpsman third class, lance corporal, lance corporal, corporal, lance corporal and corporal. and now, and their memory and in their honor a

right now i will turn to congresswoman kirkpatrick. rep. kirkpatrick: thank you for your testimony and appearance before the committee. congratulations on your confirmation. i look forward to working with you to prioritize solar and clean energy, infrastructure and jobs across the country. as you stated repeatedly, we are in a climate crisis and the american southwest is in the front line of this crisis. we are blessed with abundant resources, but our days are getting warmer and our water gets more scarce. i am grateful to have this conversation with you because it is crucial that we tackle the climate crisis and it is a great place to do this. my question has to do with our tribe, we have 22 federally recognized tribes in arizona. a big portion of this is tribal land, tribal communities have borne the brunt of the time of for decades. secretary, how do you plan to ensure tribal infrastructure and the needs of tribal communities are met as this administration moves to build back better? how will you ensure that the tribes have a seat at the

so i disagree with you. >> will: which ones? or example, let's start today with andrew brown case, right? and you had the sheriff on earlier: i think what we needed in north carolina for the authorities to release all the tapes, right? and not just the tape that contained andrew brown but all the tapes of whether the sheriff's deputies left the department, release all the information and intelligence that the officers knew when they went to arrest him and how they managed the information, right? >> will: darryl, really quickly now, we have seen four different vantage points, we have seen film from four different body cameras rolling on the screen as we speak and see the interaction and our eyes are telling us what went down on that street. we see andrew brown backing his car up and then gassing it forward. so how do you look at that and come away with the conclusion that it's an execution or an assassination? >> i'm sorry, first of all, let's start from the beginning, will. you have sheriff deputies, a few in sedans and many of t

i will briefly mention ima physician. was a hospital doctor taking care of people who were dying, i saw patients in her 15 years ago when being clinically active. i do a research laboratory at yale and we study social networks, human social interaction, the evolutionary origin of these interactions was wide we have friends at all? kind of unusual. other animals don't form long-term nonreproductive unions with other members of their species but we do. it is unusual practice of forming social networks, living socially in the way we do places us at risk for epidemics because if we live have isolated individuals we wouldn't be subject to contagious disease. one of the arguments i would like to make, we come together to live with each other to reap certain advantages from an evolutionary point of view, the fact that we are cultural animals but to rebuild advantages we expose ourselves to certain risks. one of arguments i make is in a very real way the spread of germs is the price we pay for the spread of ideas. and to share kn

i will give the ranking member westerman a shout out. he does do a great job and i served with hime on the natural resources committee and it's an honor to work with him. >> host: kathleen in mississippi. democrat, the morning. >> caller: good morning. i think it is sad that we've been i don't know here how long working on problems for white people. it is sad that we can't hold the bills and still with $814 to social security with medicare and medicaid and food stamps combined with the trump administration in the apartment of agriculture and i call medicare bite .gov and have to pay $1400 before i have surgery. i'm sick at home. ever since -- february 2020 [inaudible] >> host: kathleen, what is your question?: >> caller: this is what is happening in mississippi. it's a plea state now. it came out two or three weeks ago.ca >> host: anything you want to pick up on their? >> guest: i heard medicaid and medicaid and then i heardrd truk go by two weeks but i wasn't sure what the question was. >> host: we will go to kareem, buffalo, new york, i

chairman, i will yield back. jim and butterfield, -- chairman butterfield: let me acknowledge the presence of the full committee chair, zoe lofgren of california. simple often -- rep. lofgren: i want to thank the subcommittee for the vigor with which they are approaching the questions of the right to vote in america and thank also our witnesses for appearing today. obviously, voting is fundamental for american citizens. it is the basis for our country's freedom and what our brave men and women have gone off to fight for over the decades so that we have that precious write. we need to guard that right. i am confident that the committees's inquiries would help protect that right. we know that the voting right act was in full swing for the shelby decision. here is the question, have there been pretextual uses of projects intended to -- purges intended to get to the essence of what the voting rights act was originally intended to protect. i think that the committees -- committee's deep dive will inform the congress an

it will be comfortable. i think if you look at the mint cabin, it will be a comfortable first class or business class, however you want to describe first class. i use first class, but i think everyone else says business. i think they will be relevant in the market. when you think about -- guy: helane, do you think governments are going to be ready by august when they are planning to launch? helane: i certainly hope so. i heard maria's comments a few moments ago, and what i would say is we thought the biden adminstration would announce an opening of the borders with the eu, europe and the u.k., for july 1. we thought that announcement would be made this week. frankly, if it is not made soon, the summer will be lost because americans are going to hawaii, going to alaska, new mexico -- alaska, to mexico, to the caribbean. they are not going to canada, which just extended the border closure for another month. they want to go to europe. greece, croatia and iceland are open. portugal, spain, france, they all want a

i will be the strongest possible advocate for the army inside the pentagon and out, and finally, i wouldsult closely with this committee because without regular and constructive dialog and partnership, we will not succeed in transforming the army to meet future challenges. i look forward to your questions and thank you again for the opportunity to be with you today. >> thank you very much, miss wormuth, there are a series of standard questions we must ask of nominees, would you appropriately respond? have you adhered to applicable laws and regulations governing conflict of interest? >> yes. >> have you assumed any duties or actions that would presume the outcome of the confirmation process. >> no. >> exercising our legislative and oversight responsibilities makes it important that this committee, subcommittees and other appropriate committees of congress receive testimony, briefings, reports, records and other information from the executive branch on a timely basis. do you agree, if confirmed, to appear and testify before this committee when requested? >> yes. >> do you agree to provide

i will close with this. i know i'm not supposed to do this. i will do this briefly. john warner appropriately got recognized for his service and has a submarine named after him. i remember going to the commission. he and his wife jeanne, they were so proud of the young men and women who were serving on that boat and that carry on the kind of sense of patriotism and public service that he exemplified, as we have both said. we're going to miss him a lot. i hope we will take that sense of his heart and courage and commitment and maybe rededicate ourselves to trying to follow in those -- follow that kind of example. with that, >> a conversation witr on his book about a world war ii army unit. >> apap had just raised a crossed -- towards germany. he was focused on trying to attack the city and there was a gap that opened up in the front line and we did not have any trips to put there. they are there from the front line set up and pretending to be the -- >> film maker had authored sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's q&a. find it where you get your podcast. "q&a" as a p

michael, i will start there and maybe it's longer than you wanted but i'm happy to get into q&a. >> i thought that was great and very sustained. if i could, let me begin with the framing question because most of our audience is knowledgeable about the issues of nuclear and general deterrence but i want to make sure especially because there has been recent changes with space command being created in some sense split off from strategic command and then cyber command being created i know you have to work closely with some of the other unified and regional commands and is it fair to say that the demands you have to work with more closely would be the two i just mentioned cyber as well as northern command or the united states and in the pacific command in european command because they have purview over russia, north korea and china and therefore those would be the commands that on any given day and any given mission you might have to really work very closely with and is that a fair way to summarize where you sit in the broader scape of the 11 overall unified command. >> look, i would agree

i guess i will kick it off by saying both tom and i are well aware that the four most important wordsny public speakers vocabulary are and so in conclusion. so, we will try to make this as short and sweet and as informative as possible. i suppose i should start tonight we have been getting some terrific reviews on the book and one of them saying the praise but towards the end the reviewer said i feel like one of those whatever those warnings are before a cable show. i cannot disagree with the reviewers injunction that blood and treasure is not for the faint of heart. the narrative opens with daniel booms 16-year-old son, james, bleeding out, he's been gut shot from an ambush, cherokee, delaware shawnee and he's about to die anyway. the leader of the ambush who actually had died eating at the house is just gratuitously plucking out one by one his fingernails and then his toenails. and then become almost full circle to later in the book where his other son died in his arms. he's got in india indian musket ball launched in his heart. so, yes this book is not for the faint of heart i supp

as a side note, i will say i was in rhode island and is struggling. we could not get our hands on enough ventilators and enough ppe. monitoring is one of the key components. the second component will be grants. grants out of this office to create new production capacity, particularly for small and medium-sized manufacturers. they could make products in america and then finally the investment which will allow commerce -- will allow to address vulnerability. with this money -- this money will be spent over several years. >> thank you for that. the next question is about smaller and midsized communities , like the ones in my district. they don't have the resources to invest in the professional grant writers and they don't have the ability to monitor grant opportunities. my staff works around the clock to help our constituents, but the local municipal officials and chambers of commerce. we can't be everywhere. what will you do to make sure communities like mine are understanding what opportunities are available in getting consideration as this additional m

i will provide the data to you. i can assure you that individuals who are apprehended and processed and whom we are not able to expel under title 42 authority in this current environment are placed into immigration proceedings. >> you mentioned the camp and that you had a platform for addressing those individuals. where this individuals while they are awaiting adjudication? sec. mayorkas: individuals who have made claims for humanitarian relief under the laws of the united states are waiting the adjudication of those claims in the united states. >> that court hearing date can be out as much as three years correct? sec. mayorkas: that has been the case for years and years. if i may, this administration for the first time is actually tackling that infirmity of process and working to shorten that timeframe for the delivery of justice for the american public and the individuals who make claims for humanitarian relief. >> what is that timeframe right now? my indication or what i heard was it was still three years. sec. ma

to fight, i am alive because by brothers were willing the death for me, for each other, not pause i was one color or one creed or whatever. any color, any race, any creed become together and fight. and we should never forget that. we should embrace it. >> the fact here we are in memorial day weekend. saying, we should be proud of that. you know, our forefathers, it feels like the last vestige of type of institution that reveres america for what it is, why wouldn't the pc folks, i don't want to get political but why wouldn't they go the military next. it is color blind. the military, and pro freedom and pro american, why couldn't you go there, that is the scary part it feels intentional. >> it is and does, military model for transcending race and garage -- background, it is model of being a red blooded american and handle a joke from time to time, the country needs to take a breath, the military is a fantastic model. we know what it like in team room, you catch flack no matter what. you have fun with it. is really this fun to be offendedan
