jordan. this past year, many of us in leadership positions have faced the challenge that is not new but is uniquely present. and that is the challenge of giving people a sense of hope. we have been challenged to provide a sense of hope throughout this pandemic that it will one day end, and i do truly believe we are close to that day. we have been challenged to provide a sense of hope that racial injustices as old as this nation, many of the same injustices that mr. jordan was fighting for in the 1950's and 1960's, will also to end one day. and we have been challenged to provide a sense of hope that our democracy, as imperfect as it may be, is not broken, and that we can, and we will protect it and expand our most precious american rights. and that's the right to vote. when i think of mr. jordan, i think of a man who is expert in providing that sense of hope, but even more expert in providing a blueprint for putting it into action. he showed us that we don't have to choose between fighting for

jordan: thank you. i yield the balance of our time, which i believe is two minutes, to our distinguished whip, the gentleman from louisiana, mr. scalise. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scalise: thank you, madam speaker. i thank the gentleman from ohio for yielding. i rise in strong opposition to this amnesty bill. and if you look at what's happening at our southern border right now, america's facing a serious crisis. our southern border's being overrun. the facilities, the detention centers that are set up to hold people who are coming across are being overwhelmed. in fact, if you listen what the border agents are telling us, it's total mayhem, to quote one of the border agents. many facilities are not at 100% or 200% or 300% capacity but even worse than that. there are kids that aren't getting enough food, that aren't able to shower more than a week. this is happening and president biden refuses to acknowledge the problem. part of dealing with a problem is first admit there i

jordan: mr. speaker, no, it doesn't. the gentleman -- the previous speaker said this bill becomes law it will stop some of the mass shootings. all of the mass shootings that happened in this country. no, it won't. nothing in this bill would have stopped any of those terrible things that took place. what this bill does is stop law-abiding citizens from exercising their second amendment liberties, just as the gentleman from kentucky mentioned a few minutes ago. i'd yield one minute to the gentleman from indiana, mrs. spartz. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from indiana is recognized. mrs. spartz: mr. speaker, i rise in opposition to h.r. 8. a major reason our founding fathers drafted this second amendment is to have a check and balance for the people against the tyranny of government. it is the second amendment for a reason, not the ninth or 10th. you must have the second to protect the first. the first -- dictators, we know a lot of them, was to take guns from law-abiding citizens. we must

jordan is correct. now, however, with the democratic senate majority, i hope i can see action and work with senator scott and come to a resolution, because this problem will not go away if we don't help it. we will not save lives if we don't act. i know this is a top priority for senate democrats and president biden and vice president harris. i hope we will see the george floyd police in justice act and be signed into law this congress. mr. speaker, this bill is a necessary bill. to respond to a crisis throughout our country. certainly not by every member of law enforcement. but by the minority of law enforcement officers. just as my colleagues og both sides of the aisle are a credit to the service in this house. not all, but the overwhelming majority. let's pass this bill. let's act for justice. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: members are reminded to direct questions to the care and not to each other. the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from ohio

tell us about jordan. >> all right.magine if you will ferris bu ehler with good grades. that was jordan. he loved mixing it up. he loved harmless prank kind of things. one year his brother had left his wallet thrown on the floor. and he picked it up and wrapped it up as a christmas gift to give to his own brother. >> martha: [laughing]. >> of course with the brother running around for half a day, where is my wallet? he is just sitting there quietly until it's time to exchange gifts. that's jordan. >> martha: big hair and pun t-shirts. everyone at school thinking he is this happy go lucky, good grades. carismatic. i think you will find so many kids are empathetic. they break across the divide and are with friends everybody and inclusive. not the kids you would think suffered from a major depressive disorder. >> i want to make it clear. the pandemic did not kill jordan. the depression did. did the pandemic help? probably not. i thought jordan was built for the pandemic because sometimes he didn't like dealing with people.

jordan has been praised for providing refugees with vaccinations but jordan is getting a rather small number of vaccinations from the international community if you look at the kovacs system that has been set up in the 1st allocation from kovacs jordan is getting around 440000 says that's barely more doses than have been administered in just a single city your population is more than 20 times that you have refugees as well do you feel that it's not really enough obviously the number of those we've gotten . thus far is not enough we are working extremely hard on trying to get the amount that we need to. box in it our population. everybody who is in jordan we were the 1st country to vaccinate a syrian refugee we're committed to doing got there is a challenge to try to get the old back scenes that are out there but are you disappointed that western countries have a prioritizing their own populations to such a massive extent none of us a safe until all of us are safe i mean. the virus doesn't. border's the experience that we had with the vaccine has shown how interconnected we are it must

vernon jordan, larger-than-life.e back shortly with the call for how poetry can ease isolation, but first, take a moment to hear from your local pbs station. judy: in this time of uncertainty and isolation, poet tess taylor shares her humble opinion that turning to verse can provide solace. her recent book is "rift zone," and this essay is part of our canvas series. >> sharing breath with people outside our immediate family is a big no-no these days, and as a result, a lot of us are lonely. i mean, what meaningful human activity doesn't require sharing breath? offering a hug, singing in a church choir, laughing with a friend, seeing a play. try spending some time each day with a poem. don't worry too much about what anything means at first. instead just tried to find the poem speaking inside of you. i have a friend who says encountering a poem is like being detained by an interesting party guest as it it inaugurates a fascinating conversation. here is gwendolyn brooks' poem, my dreams, my works must wait until after

jordan: jordan adoni. how are you? lemonis: jordan, nice to meet you. omar: how you doing?mar, nice to meet you. can you walk me through the process? -jordan: of course. -omar: yeah. lemonis: holy... this is awesome. i was blown away by it. it's literally a shoe factory in the middle of manhattan. omar: we do all the actual craftsmanship right here in this factory. lemonis: there's people designing shoes and cutting shoes and putting them together. this is a great resource. jordan: everything basically starts in this room. you know, we do all the sourcing out of here. we work directly off the last, which is what we're doing right there, which will help you with comfort, and also the design, the aesthetic of the shoe. it's really the right way to do it. lemonis: so, i wanted to bring in a couple of the shoes that are going to be the classic platform. the basic runner. if i could spend 10% more on improving the comfort and the structure of the shoe, i would do it. so, what do you feel like is missing from there? jordan: i'm not quite sure, like, what last they used to fit thi

jordan: that's fair to say.es to the dot plot come i would say that i've spoken to some economists, it would be hard to see what the market is pricing for the dots. the long end moved more than economists would have forecasted. my personal view is that we could get to 150 in the 10 year rate by june based on the previous pattern. it's nonlinear. how we moved too far too fast? is there more to go? and the answer seems to be that there's more to go. lisa: if you are correct and there's more movement in the dots, you get a stronger dollar and higher yields, there's a question on what this does based on positioning with the higher risk and the higher currencies out there. how offsides could traders find themselves? jordan: in the rate market, the good news is that anyone who is thinking that the rate won't move much is that a lot of short positioning has built up in the rate market already. whether we get a massive explosion, i doubt it. we will get a move but it will not be a slow. when it comes to e.m. markets, ye
