of the date that distinguished chair of the judiciary committee referenced, and i also thank carolyn maloney for her long-term advocacy of the equal rights amendment. thank you, mr. chairman nadler, foreenabling -- for enabling us to have this legislation on the floor today and for your leadership on this issue over time. madam speaker, 100 years ago, 1921, a solemn promise was made to the women of our country, one honoring our most fundamental truth to the nation, as the equal rights amendment was first introduced. when it was first introduced it said, men and women shall have equal rights throughout the united states and every place subject to its jurisdiction. simple, clear, fair, and just. yet, a century later, that promise remains unfulfilled. the equal rights amendment still has not been enshrined in the constitution, and the american women still face inequality under the law and, therefore, in their lives. in recent years, american women have renewed the legal fight for the equal rights amendment. women of all backgrounds, students, mothers, seniors, women of color, indigenous, etc.,

can you do it under carolyn maloney. >> i don't know if we'll be able to do it under chairwoman maloney getting a lot of pressure from new yorkers to subpoena governor cuomo this is something that i am focused on to be honest with you this is terrible what has happened. the thousands of deaths. the fact he lied about it. he tried to cover it up. the connection with the inappropriate campaign contributions. the mayor of new york city is exactly right. this is a scandal this is a huge scandal on top of other scandals that como has. with respect to the oversight committee we're focused on the nursing home scandal. this is the one we stayed with. you have done a great job, liz, reporting this from day one. elizabeth: all right. thank you, congressman. we appreciate it. i'm grateful for your kindness there and your generosity. we'll have you on soon. come back soon. let's continue with new york state assemblyman angelo santabarbara. a new scandal? did you hear about it? >> yes. elizabeth: grounds for impeachment. can you break down what is going on cuomo's covid czar what did he do? >> repor

now senators schumer and kirsten gillibrand say he should resign, so does jerry nadler, so does carolyn maloneyyour reaction to this story? >> well, it's breathtaking that it took, what, seven women to come forward with these allegations, liz. and i would say that schumer and gillibrand just came forward today because they were being called out for not making comments about what's going on with andrew cuomo. it's also interesting to me, liz, that they keep talking about these allegations which i'm not downplaying at all, they should be investigated, there is due process. but what about the nursing home deaths? in the regards to governor cuomo. the way that he handled it and the outcome of it all is just absolutely deplorable. they're not talking about it because he's not the only one who had elderly covid-positive patients put into nursing homes in these environments because they don't want to shine a spotlight on the other democrat governors who did the same thing. elizabeth: interesting. deneen, thanks for joining us. it's good to see you. come back soon. >> thanks, liz.elizabeth just ahead,

host: your thoughts on carolyn maloney, democratic congresswoman from new york, and her proposal to reform the agency. she would like to repeal the pre-funding mandate for future retiree health care and allow postal workers to enroll in medicare. guest: it has been around for years. they have been trying to work out the logistics to it. it is a different way of dealing with the pre-funding issue. i much prefer that to the previous response that democrats had to the pre-funding mandate, which was to abolish it and pretend the postal service does not owe these benefits to their retirees. my own preference is that we continue pre-funding, but we decreased the amount the postal service has to pre-fund each year. we do as at least one of the postal unions has advocated, allow a portion of the money refunded to be put in index funds, the same weight employees saving for retirement have money put in index funds overseen by a nonpartisan board. if you did that with pre-funding, you could largely solve the pre-funding problem. host: david is a postal worker in maryland. welcome to the conversation.

democrats like representative alexander because jo cortez, jamaal bowman, house oversight chair carolyn maloneyd judiciary committee member nadler. at the repeated against the governor and the manner in which he responded had made it impossible for him to continue to govern at this point. a seventh accuser came forward, reporter jessica bateman writing a first-person account in "new york magazine." acclaiming, she's been sexually arrest on the governor. his hands up and on my body, on my waist, and my arms, i didn't want to go to the holiday party he was hosting at the executive mansion. cuomo said today he's never had an inappropriate sexual relationship with anyone. >> i never abused anyone, i never assaulted anyone. now -- i never would. >> causey of cortez and bowman were concerned about it and accusers group bring allocation late last year at the executiven writing the fact that the latest report was so recent as alarming and it raises concerns about the president's safety and well-being of the staff. he can no longer effectively lead in the face of so many challenges. the majority of stat

it is being held by carolyn maloney. now u.s.. she is set to meet with president biden and vice president harris at the white house later today. president biden is extending a special enrollment period for the affordable care act on the 11th anniversary of the program. the added window will be open for an additional three-month period giving americans more time to add insurance during this pandemic. >>> and fierce new reaction this morning from house speaker nancy pelosi who is publicly criticizing planned cutbacks to the u.s. postal service outlined by post master general. his ten-year plan including major cuts and lots of small business owners are not happy at all about it. >> persistent delays have done real damage to small business like one pet supply company. >> how did it affect your business? >> the post office is making me lose money by having to send my customers replacements or refunds. >> she is bracing for what could come next with postmaster general lewis de joy calling for longer deliver ri times, shorter hours, and

leadership on this issue, the distinguished chairman, the sponsor of the resolution, jackie speier, carolyn maloney, and yield back the balance of my time. . mr. gnat letter: madam speaker, i ask unanimous consent that the gentlewoman from georgia, mrs. mcbath, control the balance of the time on our side. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman will control the balance of the time. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: madam speaker, i yield four minutes to the gentlewoman from missouri. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from missouri. >> thank you, madam speaker. mrs. hartzler: i rise to celebrate the achievements women have made and reaffirm we are already equal under current law. women represent 51% of the population. comprise over half of college students. make up the majority of medical and law school students. and run 12.3 million women-owned businesses. little girls can be whatever they want to be whether that be a astronaut, doctor, full-time mom working at home, or a member of congress. the e.r.a. would not add to the rights already guar

jerry nadler, prominent democrat, carolyn maloney, a.o.c. and others. so then are they reckless? to which he did not answer. he was asked multiple times that was interesting, john, from the reporters whether or not any of these were consensual relationships, if he was not sexual assaulting or there was no misconduct involved. he went on to say he never harassed, never asalted, never abused any of the women. last question was how can you lead with all of this now that a seventh accuser has come forward. emily campagno is standing by and you joined us the last time he held a news conference of this nature. he is not resigning. i want to put on the screen the words of the now 7th accuseer that has come forward to "new york magazine" and what she told the magazine. she said, "andrew cuomo's hands have been on my arms, my shoulders, the small of my back and my waist often enough in late 2014 i didn't want to go to the holiday party he was hosting for albany press corps at the executive mangs." you have had a time to dig through the seventh allegation. can he hang on any longer with al

the chair of the committee, carolyn maloney of new york --. let's listen to her comments. chairman lonie: when the equal pay act was signed women made $.59 for every dollar earned by men. we have gotten a raise, made some progress since then, but not nearly enough. it is unfair. today, in 2021, on average, women are still paid only $.82 for every dollar paid to a man and the gender pay gap is even worse for women of color. for every dollar paid to white men, asian american overall are paid $.87 per dollar. black women are paid $.63. native american women are paid $.60. latino women are paid just 50 five cents. today marks all women's equal pay day, reflecting the average among ethnicities. asian-american the pacific islanders. islanders equal payday is. march 9 black women's equal pay day is not until august 3. native american women's equal payday is not until september 8. and latino-americans equal payday is not until october 21. this is a disgrace and it has long-term consequences for women and families. host: hearing from you on your idea and solutions for the women's -
