kathie wood. kathie, great to see you, welcome to the program. >> thank you, maria. thank you for inviting me. maria: so you tweeted about fed policy earlier in the week and said, quote, i would not be surprised to see a significant policy pivot in next 3 to 6 months, what did you make of powell's speech yesterday and tell what you say the pivot might look like in the coming 3 to 6 months. >> yes, well, he repeated what he said in jackson hole essentially. they are focused only on prices so they have a dual mandate unemployment in crisis and i'm happier that they are focused on a price rule, so that's good. so i think the reason for the pivot is going to be a massive amount of deflation in the system. it's already here. if you lack at commodity prices, the gold price, for example, it peaked in august 2020 and lower end of the two-year range while copper has broken down, oil is breaking down, lumber has crashed. iron ore as well, freight rates out there are suggesting that the supply chains are loosening up quite significantly, the rates are coming down so we have deflation in the system and the way i describe what's going on right now, i was in any early days in my career in the early 80's when vulker was taking a sledge hammer to inflation because it was embedded in the system after 15 years of spending, vietnam war, great society and going off the gold exchange standard, sledge hammer, that's what he needed. that's what i believe chairman powell thinks he needs and we just don't think that's true because we see so much deflation and up with more thing, we also see a massive inventory overhang around the world. you've got europe in recession, china in recession effectively and here in the united states retailers are with inventory which will have to be cleared with discounts so we think we will have major down-side surprises in inflation during next 3 to 6 months. maria: yeah, so many important points there. i want to get your take on what this means for the macro story. first off on inflation, will the fed be able to reach that target of 2% and when do you expect the fed to see inflation at these targets? >> so the fed is looking at the pcu deflater which peaked in february at 5.3%, it's down to 4.6% and we believe we've already seen some negative numbers, nobody believes them, we do and we believe we are going to see some more negative numbers during the next 3 to 6 months. so wouldn't be surprised to see it well down into the 3's in the next 3 to six months if not into that two handle and i think if we get enough sequential declines that the fed will change its tune quite dramatically. maria: wow, that's a big deal you're talking about 2% inflation within 3 to 6 months over in the coming year? >> well, i think that the fed will be looking at the sequential numbers, many of which will be negative and -- and that will encourage them. even if we don't have the two handle we are in the 3's and coming down quickly, i think they'll change their tune and perhaps they will take interest rates up 75 basis points this time but the next time 25 to 50 basis points and then following that, we shall see. maria: and this expectation that we would see a pivot that the fed would blink essentially spark that pretty good rally in the month of july but what is it going to mean for the macro story, cathie, and your view on profit because we have the second read of the second-quarter gdp coming showing a contraction of 6 tenths of a percent this after a 1.6% contraction in the first quarter, tell me what you're expecting in terms of the profit impact here and the impact of the fed slamming on the brakes, pivoting here and impacting the macro story? >> sure, well, we think profits will be under tremendous pressure and until some of these cost declines make it through and inventories are cleared. now, we do not think this will be anything like '08 and '09 which i know many people fear. we think it's much more of an inventory recession and a drag from the rest of the world, europe being crushed by energy prices, china being readjusting to quote, unquote, common prosperity. i think it will be more of an inventory recession and, you know, there's been a lot of denial that we are in recession, we think we are. we think it's an inventory recession and that will be coming out next year whereas many people forecasters are saying we will be going in next year. so i actually think the market will be looking up as -- as we are exiting this year. maria: do you worry that larry summers will ultimately be right, the other day he said, look, all of this focus on slamming on the brakes is going to mean unemployment at 6 and a half percent at some point? >> yes, well, we do think there's been some labor hoarding in here. if you peel the onion a bit, the underbelly ofen pol employment t strong which include small businesses. that's where we see a lot of the pain right now but the labor hoarding is because companies couldn't get labor during the supply shock and the covid and -- and so now that they can, they are holding on a little longer than i think they would normally. i'd be surprised if we go all the way to 6%. i do think the inventory recession will be somewhat sharp and will take the unemployment rate up but i'd be surprised to see us get all the way to 6%. maria: cathie, your work and incredible research has led you to create exchange traded funds, you were invested from everything from dna sequencing to internet, to ai i want to know how you have made money in the space over the years. stay with us, we will talk about your allocating capital when we come right. we are talking with kathie us. we will be right back.va ng♪ ♪ ♪ as a business owner, your bottom line is always top of mind. so start saving by switching to the mobile service designed for small business: comcast business mobile. flexible data plans mean you can get unlimited data or pay by the gig. all on the most reliable 5g network. with no line activation fees or term contracts. saving you up to $500 a year. and it's only available to comcast business internet customers. so boost your bottom line by switching today. comcast business. powering possibilities. ™ every search you make, every click you take, every move you make, every step you take, i'll be watching you. the internet doesn't have to be duckduckgo is a free all in one privacy app with a built in search engine, web browser, one click data clearing and more stop companies like google from watching you, by downloading the app today. duckduckgo: privacy, simplified. maria: welcome back, we are back with cathie wood, ark investment, chief investment o

payne capital management president ryan payne. gentlemen, let's get into it with the dow industrials up 213 points as we look ahead to the latest reading on inflation and the last one before the federal reserve's next meeting, dow industrials up 209, s&p up 28 and the nasdaq higher by 87. the august consumer price index out in about an hour and a half expected to be down one tenth of a percent from july's reading but up from last year. we get to produce the price index for tomorrow. denise, what are your expectations? >> 8.1% is what's going to happen. we might see month on month see a little worse, a little lower than minus 1, maybe two tenths of 1%. all of that is predicated on the gas prices have literally collapsed in the course of last 60 days but crude oil prices have turned around and gone higher over the past week or two, so that mitigates somewhat. but nonetheless, it's been a bull market for the past week and a half in equities. i've been bearish since january 5th of this year. i continue to be bearish and i think the problem that i see is that the market rallies on less valium, declines on larger volume and the fact that we have rallied for 5 or 6 days in a row now on lesser volume is disconcerting to me. i've been right for the past six or seven or 8 months, i've been wrong for the past week and a half. we will see. ryan has had to put a wonderful note this morning discussing the fact that there's so many bears such as myself probably a little two-one sided and that's always the worse of circumstances. great note that you sent, ryan. >> thank you, denise. maria: ryan, let's not forget about the reasons that energy has come way down, it's because of slowing economy and slowing demand. now we are talking about layoffs. goldman sachs to layoff hundreds of workers beginning next week. what does that mean for macro story and goldman's earnings ryan? ryan: i think it makes sense. places like goldman were hiring like crazy. amazon was in the same place where e-commerce was huge during the pandemic. of course, as we come out of the pandemic and things slow down they are going to layoff and you have to put in perspective, maria. if you look at the working age in the u.s., growth rates 2.0% and labor participation well below before the pandemic and insane amount of availability right now. you go to any restaurant, if you go to any convenient store, there's nobody working right now. i think employment, popular -- against popular belief is going to stay extremely strong which means wages are going to stay extremely strong here and on top of that inflation is starting to come down and i think it's going to continue to come down. that's not a very bad combination and i would say that's -- i'd argue shocking, very bullish combination and if i turn denise into a bull here before the end of the year, i will get my own pocket square and i am going the wear it just like denise wears it and i'm going to say he's doing the right party or the bull side. so, i think, realistically here you will have strong wage during the end of the year and inflation will continue to come down and right now everyone is bearish and too much money in the sideline. i would be invested here. markets can rally hard here into the end of the year because of these reasons. maria: wow. denise. >> i will take the other side. i've been bearish since january 5th of this year. we will see what happens. i'm concerned of the fact that the fed is taking 65, $95 billion out of assets over the course of next several years. that was the fuel that sponsored the bull market that we all enjoyed so much for the press two years or three years or so and i think that the fact that they are taking the fuel away is going to be demonstrably bearish. time will tell. we are going on less volume and going down on larger volume. never fade volume and don't fade the fed. maria: dollar is slipping this morning. i thought it was interesting to look at deposits in bank accounts where the banks lost a considerable amount of deposits as we see the federal reserve as aggressive as it is. do you think we will see a 75-basis point hike or 50-basis next week when the fed meets in september meeting for two-day meeting on tuesday and wednesday next week. >> i don't think they'll be any choice. they are going to go 75 basis points. the question is how far will they take rates in the november, december meeting. the fed does not like to be grinch at christmas. we will go 75 basis points. 50 or 75 basis points in november and 25 to 50 basis points in december p. maria: well this matter, ryan, what happens as rates continue to go higher and borrowing getting more expensive for retail and customers, shoppers? ryan: yeah, but it's priced. it already know what the fed is going to do. credit markets have readjusted and we had a cleansing in the market as technology have taken a hit. denise and i warned last year. it's already done. it's priced in at this point and at the end of the week retail sales are up again. consumer is resilient here and wages are strong and people have more money in their pocket than they did before the pandemic and we can't discount that. so i think the death of the economy is greatly overexaggerated and i think you will see the markets trading between expectations and reality. we will find out reality is not that bad as rude awaking for money managers sitting in cash right now. maria: it's an interesting point to make, denise, the fact that even as we are expecting 75-base basis point hike, interest rates going lower. look at the ten-year, look at the two-year. >> well, the ten-year actually enticed me last week. i moved a little bit of money into two or 3-year notes. i like that we are getting 3.5 for 2's and 3's, to me that's a decent return finally for a while. the only other things that are i own are high dividend yieldest and i'm comfortable with those. i have my position hedged with alternatives to make sure share prices begin to decline, i will -- maria: okay. >> i made sure that i had good hedges into place. maria: all right, we will be watching all of that. denise

committees chris stewart. congressman, thank you very much for being here. and i would like to start there because duri is one of the five judges who signed on fisa warrant for carter page during russia collusion lie. >> yeah, it's so unfortunate to me that out of the dozens of potential candidates that they ended up with this individual. the biggest point to this, why in the world would the justice department not appoint master. they had a warrant so broad that literally they could take anything including the first lady's personalized clothing and they ended up taking passports and denyingly by the way and quietly returning it. the department of justice and need to reclaim trust to the american people and the best way to do is, sure, appoint a special master. we don't have anything to hide, we want to be fair and open and transparent about this and instead the department continues to add to this fuel and to this fire that they are trying to hide something, they are trying to do something overtly political and hopefully people won't notice that. maria: yeah, it's pretty extraordinary actually and that's why the american people have lost trust in the fbi. not just the russia collusion lie but sitting on hunter bid biden's laptop. the list is long and impeachment trial on trump and then this raid. meanwhile president biden is set to hold a big event today at the white house and he wants to celebrate master spending agenda and will do that later this afternoon as new report for committee for responsible federal budget says that biden student loan bailout will cost roughly $500 billion over ten years and there's others who say it's close to a trillion dollars obviously that wipes out any ten-year deficit reduction, it was 238 billion of ten-year deficit reduction from this act, more than two times over, congressman. so what are they celebrating? congressman: oh, my gosh, maria, there's so much to say about this. you call this tone deaf, kind of last week's blood-red speech to america saying, you should hate the other half of america. they are all fascist, they all hate the constitution. yeah, that was tone deaf as well. here is the irony of this, they are trying to convince the american people a, inflation isn't as bad as it appears to be because number 1 if it was measured by the same way we measured even up through 1990's it's not 8 and a half percent. it's really 15%. the american people see that. they are the ones who go to the grocery store and buy milk. i don't think president biden cares much about the price milk. the rest of us do and the second thing they tried to convince the american people, well, here is a problem with inflation but the answer is if we spend another trillion dollars or another $2 trillion, that's going to help and the american people aren't stupid. they know that that's -- that's the problem not the solution and -- and for them to have this victory lap over something that's so ridiculously, they even had the -- to change to name of it, i don't think it carries water. maria: it's also higher taxes for many groups. american families already dealing with higher borrowing rates as the federal reserve raises interest rates. now you are talking about another pressure of higher taxes. i'm glad that you mentioned the inflation of things we buy. cpi is up 8 and a half percent year over year but when you look at things that are important to american families, a dozen eggs up 28%, coffee up 20%, these are the things that people are buying, fish up 9% and it's much higher than the 8 and a half percent reading. so the question becomes what can you do about it? you're an elected official. if the republicans take the majority in november, what can you do about it, what's the agenda and also what is your agenda for congressional investigations? people have seen corruption in plain sight with all of this. congressman: yeah, well, let me talk about -- everything that you talked about, higher interest rates, inflation, higher taxes, they all hurt working americans the most. they hurt the most vulnerable among us, have greatest impact on them. if you are a rich person living in new york and getting picked up in your suv every day, you don't care much about it. the rest of us do. so now the question is what is the agenda? here is an agenda item, quit spending as much money and that's one of the things the republicans are going to have to do as we take the house in the fall and hopefully the senate by the way as a sidebar for the media to create this narrative there's new hope and blue awe rising -- wave rising. that's absurd. we are going the take the house and i'm confident of that. to your point as well, we do have to investigate these things. the department of justice apparently doesn't want to investigate. hunter biden's laptop, afghanistan will be under review in the next congress. maria: all right, congressman, we will be watching all of that. we appreciate your time. kevin mccarthy is readying to come out with your commitment to america and will be watching for more details on what that agenda looks like. good to see you this morning, sir.

serenate from singer john legend and actors betty white who passed away, maria. i have to go back for two seconds. what i watched before i fell asleep was not political for one, thank you, emmys for

and she's having this resurgence. it was so cool. maria: that is so nice. i loved watching all the gorgeous outfits. they were good. thanks, cheryl. cheryl: you butt. maria: president biden's new senior climate adviser is john podesta and once refer today top chinese communist party official as his friend. this scene in an e-mail in 2014 and podesta took several calls from the vice chairman from the chinese people's consultant conference between 2015 and 2016 while serving for chairman of hillary clinton's failed campaign. the gordon chang is here. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, maria. maria: now john podesta is the new climate tsar. the only thing that i wanted to mention that his brother was a lobbyist for hauwei, isn't that through, his brother is trying to push chinese communist party by trying to get countries everywhere to use hauwei technology which reportedly and from the trump administration we were told was one of the main sources of all the surveillance going on from the ccp in america. >> yeah, this really is wrong and i'm sure the podestas are going to say, that was then and this is now but we have to remember that the united states is under unrelenting and malicious attack by china. we think we are at peace, business as usual but the chinese believe that they are at war with the united states. so anyone with these china-friendly views who have represented chinese companies especially one as dangerous as hauwei is just should not be an official. this is not complicated or at least it shouldn't be considered complicated. they just shouldn't be serving. maria: well, it shouldn't be considered complicated to understand that when the son of a vice president, sitting vice president is accepting tens of millions of dollars from chinese officials which is what we were told from the senate report on this, ron johnson and charles grassley's report as well as peter who has reported extensively on it not to mention miranda divine from the new york post, it shouldn't be something that's totally, you know, not agreed upon by most people that influence peddling is bad and yet here we have it and much of the media is not even reporting it, has this dictated the way joe biden handles our number 1 adversary, china? >> yeah, and another aspect to this is that the fbi and the justice department seemed not to be very curious about hunter biden. when you look at miranda divine's reporting, it's clear what's going on here and the justice department can't find a crime anywhere. this really is wrong and it shows selective prosecution on the part of the biden administration to protect hunter. this really, again, is something that the american people should just be outraged at, yeah, they should be upset at hunter biden and joe biden but also at merrick garland, the attorney general. maria: yeah, especially as the fbi's head has told us how dangerous is the ccp. okay, what are you doing about it? what have you done about it? chinese president xi jinping is expected to meet face to face with russian president vladimir putin tomorrow. that's happening at the shanghai corporation summit ahead of the meeting beijing's top d diplomat told ambassador willing to take global order. i guess the global order china is number 1 and russia is number 2. >> yes, clearly r china and rusa form the new axes. we have got to understand that the world is divided. you know, a lot of americans say well, we don't want a new cold war. well, the point is the russians and the chinese do and they are working very closely and this is going to be the 39th time that xi jinping and vladimir putin have met in person. number 39. maria: wow. well, what about all of the times that xi jinping has spoken to joe biden. i think it's at least 5 times that they've spoken on the phoe and we don't have any evidence that joe biden raised the origins of covid-19 and why the communist party would not allow investigation on what happened in the wuhan lab so it doesn't happen again and hundreds of billions dollars lost from the ccp from the theft of intellectual property, not the mention other issues like surveillance of americans. these things never come up coincidently when joe biden speaks to xi jinping. >> well, biden has this view that he needs cooperation on things like climate and so he's not willing to raise the issue of covid-19 and this is very clear because the white house readouts and the white house admitted that biden hasn't raised the issues at critical times and we are talking at 1 million, almost -- 1,050,000 americans have been killed by this disease and -- maria: that's right. >> biden seems to be, o no big deal. i'm not going to even talk about it. maria: right. so i'm wondering it's because of the tens of millions of dollars the family have taken in from the chew nice communist party. what do you make of the recent moves the biden administration claims it's going to place new restrictions on semiconductor chips next month, routers reported that u.s. companies looking export equipment to china will now need a commerce department license, gordon, your thoughts on what has been done in that regard? >> well, this move is obviously a good thing but the american people should be asking one question, the biden administration has now been in place for almost 20 months, why wasn't this done earlier. you know, we had a slew of executive orders on very first day in office. it's in the like that he wasn't thinking about what needs to be done. so, yes, this is good, pat on the back to the administration, but why didn't you do something which was critical to our security much earlier in your administration? maria: right, well, they were too busy doing executive orders overturning trump policies at the border like getting rid of remain in mexico, et cetera, now that we are seeing the wide-open border bring terrorist watch individuals into the country. i believe it was 66 people were -- were apprehended at the border who were on the fbi terrorist watch list. gordon, thanks very much for being here. you are a treasure. good to see you. gordon chang joining us this morning. thank you, sir. quick break and queen elizabeth's coffin is headed to london later this morning as president biden plans to travel to her funeral next week. what you need to know. we

(soft music) maria: welcome back, king charles the third arriving in belfast this morning making first visit to northern ireland as monarch. later today queen elizabeth's coffin will be flown from edinburgh. hillary, great to see you this morning. give us your sense of the king's moves going to belfast, your thoughts. >> good to be with you, maria, thank you for having me. this is really important, maria. we all remember the troubles, the troubles in northern ireland and the queen was pivotal in making peace there. what she did when she went to northern ireland, she vowed in front of the memorial, the queen, vowing, she shook hands with martin mcguinness and tremendously close to the royal family and the uncle of prince philip, her beloved husband. so she was very taken into the hearts of the northern irish people for her sense of forgiveness and this is symbolic move for him to be in belfast. of course, it's historic. we remember probably the proclamation in edinburgh, 3 days after her passing, why, that's how long it took for the horse it is ride in the medieval era to get news to different parts and that's why it takes place days later. we hope to see in northern ireland what we did in scotland, returning the love to the monarch who had been loving of scotland. let's hope it happens in northern ireland for the people in northern ireland. maria: she was so lovely and her majesty is loved by the world. british government only including president biden and the first lady to represent the united states at the queen's funeral. no former presidents were invited, london officials also allowing biden to arriving with his own transportation. other world leaders will take the bus to the funeral, hillary. what will that be like? give us your sense of what to expect on monday when she is laid to rest. >> so much to expect, maria, you're absolutely right about world leaders taking the bus. if i might make mention on previous segment, who was the first leaders for his congratulations to king charles, putin, now, maybe there's hope, why was he first? there's an absolute reason for that. we can imagine why that is and let's hope he's watching and seeing that all the rest of the world leaders are going to london but that he wasn't invited. then also back to london now the metropolitan police, they are actually on the virtue and this comes from inside scotland yard, nothing announced yet, nothing said yet but talked about that london might, maria, actually be declared full. 20 and 30 hours wait to go into westminster hall where she will be laid to rest. she were initially going to buckingham palace, why, it will give the chance for all of her staff, the entire household, maria, many of them have served her their entire lives and members of the household that served the queen mother and part of the family and you mentioned, you just said the whole world loved her. well, maria, i can assure you that every member of the buckingham palace who she newbie name, it was four of the keepers that were paul bearers an they knew her by name, four of them had served her mother too. maria: such an icon for the world, we lost this icon who just, you know, was a step above of politics, a step above of conflict. a lot has been said now about prince william and kate middleton's body language and many focusing on william forgetting to open the car door for his wife and some calling the couple cold and distant and harry and meghan markle were admired for displays of affection, what are your thoughts on this foursome? >> first point maria, that you mentioned about politics, king charles will be constitutional monarch and politically neutral and he must do to maintain the love of all the people. the second part of the question, what do people say and a few things here. remember what shakespeare said in hamlet, the lady that protects from much and outpouring and exaggeration where this one really mean that so much. let's remember meghan markle not only is she an actress her actions don't match up with the word. didn't want to be part of uk, want today leave the royal family. lots of things being said. the hope this is a recognition that they have realized they need to give extra affection because they want to be back in people's hearts and also don't forget prince william has been raised to be king, prince harry now -- prince of whales, he's now prince of whales, prince harry was never raised to be king. that was one of his jobs, air and spare. she's been the spare. very different dynamic and very different upbringings in terms of future roles. maria: so many great points that you have made hillary, thank you. hillary fordwich. thank you so much. unauthorized surveillance now threatens gun shop owners and it's coming from credit card companies. wait till you see jeff flock's report, live with everything that we need to know. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ of ♪ . maria: welcome back. credit card giant visa mastercard american express new merchant category code for gun retailes jeff flock live with more on this good morning. >> maria, good morning to you yeah, i got to admit i until now did not know that merchandise category codes existed essentially they are what credit card companies use every business boiling allies shoe stores barber helps so everybody has got one. until now gun shops did not have separate code like here bobs sports shop now they do the organization keeps track of things established a code in response to some pressure from gun opponents and they will now along with mx master pardon visa track purchases. . just like they do tracking purchases at every other business, why is that a big deal? well we talked to gunshop owners who say it is a big deal and here is why. >> once they got it classified quite likely will begin putting pressure on banks other types of organizations, to restrict these type of purchases, with their cards, we view this as one step in a methodical process to, you know, eventually put pressure on and try to restrict these type of purchases. >> speaking of next stp maria, the attorney general of new york already says there should be next step quoting her credit card companies us have take that step flag suspicious tractions on gun ammunition like fraud objected money laundering nra, not thrilled with all this call it a capitulation to antigin politicians activists bent on eroding rights of law-abiding americans, now, gun purchases as well, perhaps a little more political controversy to it. maria. maria: well, i i mean you said suspicious purchases. are they all suspicious? >> well hopefully they won't look at them as all suspicious obviously, there is concern when multiple guns get purchased at a store most gunshops we go to talk to they take steps to make sure theory not selling if gang members drug dealersor any other folks from nefarious purchases. >> jeff thank you jeff flock reporting in new jersey, this morning, mark tepper ryan payne your thoughts mark, i wonder if there is a similar categorizing for fossil fuel companies. >> there is a reason you flag fraud a reason you flag money laundering they are illegal activities owning a gun is not illegal, in fact it is a constitutional right. legal guns are not the problem. criminals. that is the problem. if you were to ask any replace when they pull someone over for traffic stop run plates if they are worried when they see someone has a ccw permit going to tell you opposite but in fact it makes them less nervous more comfortable because the bad guys who don't go and get the permit. maria: good point, mark, ryan stay right there next hour of "mornings with maria" begins right now. . maria: good tuesday morning thanks very much for joining us this morning, i am maria bartiromo. it is tuesday, september 13, top stories 8:00 a.m. on the button on the east coast. today inflation on deck, stocks are rallying once again this morning the momentum continues. the dow industrials up 207 s&p up 29 nasdaq higher by 90 points as we look to august consumer price index report going to be out half an hour expected to show a decline 1/10 of a percent from july reading gain 8.1% from a year ago we will have numbers for you as they cross, at 8:30 a.m. eastern right here we've got all-hands-on-deck looking at inflation in america. meanwhile, as federal reserve is about to raise interest rates, short-term rates are falling take a look at 10-year treasury after three month highs ahead of fed next meeting where we are expecting another half point or 75 basis points hike in rates next wednesday. right now 10-year down 4.8 basis points, 3.310% stocks higher yesterday for a fourth session in rowy s&p nasdaq at the highest numbers since august 25 gain 229 on the dow 154 on nasdaq, 43 points higher on s&p at 4:00 on wall street, it is campaign season 56 days away from this midterm elections white house is getting ready to take a tone-deaf victory lap biden administration plans to celebrate so-called inflation reduction act today as voters show concern over economy and 74% say we are headed in the wrong direction oil prices this morning are higher after seeing biggest three-day rally in seven weeks, price of brent 9.27 up 1 1/3% crude oil 88.97 up 1 1/3% right now european markets were also a firmer tone look at eurozone ft 100 in london higher by 27 cac quarante in paris up 47, dax in germany higher by 112 asia overnight most higher exception hong kong was one weak spot best was korea kospi index up 2 3/4% "mornings with maria" is live right now. >> with just 56 days until election day, more democrats are distancing themselves from president biden arizona senator mark kelly struggling to find words to describe how the president has performed so far. watch. >> is, do you think. >> you know, i you know -- first of all it is not -- my job to give him a report card i would say you know mixed reviews. maria: yes this as new rasmussen survey shows 58% voters want biden to focus on economy especially gas prices 56% voters agree biden should stop blaming maga republicans. joining the kfrng all morning ryan payne mark tepper, ryan that was hard for mark kelly to come out with a positive, positive answer for joe biden. >> not pretty. and if you look at it approval rating for biden, 36% i mean abysmal right now, just seems like they need a thou strategy here can't keep talking about how great the economy is doing what they've done to make the economy look fantastic right now, 40-year high inflation, you know, reality is it is just like, you know, everyone is going to distance themselves from biden is my guess if you are a democrat running right now. >> have showing pictures of that crazy philadelphia speech back on september 1, mark, when he was attacking make america great again, really trying to make those words bad words. >> yeah i mean and not really a winning strategy, when you insult half of the country, by calling them semi fascist extremists ludicrous makes complete sense more democrats asked about president biden's performance bobbing weaving dosageing questions don't want to be linked to him. why would you want to be linked to a lame-duck to a dud, to a hack mountain biden that is all he has done so far he has done absolutely nothing not helping economy we all see data you pointed out this morning we've been talking about it for months now, two consecutive quarters of economic contraction, that's a recession. right? i mean i don't know how you continue to lie to us tell us we're in a great spot at least fort democrats who may have somewhat of a decent tactical strategy they are doing best to make sure they are not tied to president biden right now. maria: yeah. in fact another democrat has completely abandoned new york governor kathyng to revive broken policies we see independents recognize defunding police massive out-of-control spending leaving allies, to fend for themselves in afghanistan, are bad policies. >>, believe it or not, like ib that stuff matters. to american people, it matters to american voters. and you know kathy hochul has done nothing positive so far. i think it was a couple weeks ago she told all the republicans in new york to get the heck out of here. look. >> that is right. >> all i know socialism doesn't work all that well you know redistribution of wealth doesn't work that well when you kick the people that are working, out. i don't know who you are taking money from. maria: you are right ryan, what kind of a comment was that?

kathy park in charleston, south carolina, directly in ian's path, around where ian is going to make landfall once again. kathy, as we're seeing the weather picking up there, what are you seeing as we await, once again, ian to make landfall there? >> reporter: hey, there, yasmin, we've been out here all morning long and this is probably the worst we've seen it so far. we're just getting dumped with a lot of rain right now. there's a storm drain and you can see all of that water being funneled down that drain right now. but in addition to all this rain, we are getting slammed with these intense wind gusts and as you mention, we are just moments away from landfall and it looks like -- we looked at the radar, the eye of the storm is actually headed a little north but we're still feeling the outer bands of this massive system. we are right in front of the ashley river right now. there's a lot of sea grass. you can see it shaking around behind me. these boats are tethered. folks in this area know the drill. but you can see it wobbling around. you do have some cars out here which kind of worries me. conditions are pretty bad. things are only about to get worse. the governor of south carolina has declared a state of emergency, but stopped short of issuing mandatory evacuations. this is what i'm talking about. things are not good. so if you don't have to be out right now, probably a good idea to kind of hunker down and have an emergency plan in place in case the water gets too high. something worth noting, yasmin, if it does make landfall in the charleston area, this will be the first time since 2016, folks here, this is a low country for a reason, they're used to flooding on a good day, especially with high tide. that's the thing. high tide is just around the corner. so when you factor that in along with this deluge here, we could see up to 12 inches of rain locally. you add in storm surge up to 7 feet, we could be looking at widespread flooding in this area, not to mention power outages. we've been monitoring that all morning long. the number continues to tick up. it's the wind gusts that is knocking down tree limbs. you got debris all around me here, but this is just kind of a taste of what's to come. we're in the thick of it right now, yasmin. >> if you would, continue to keep yourself and your crew safe amidst all of this as the storm continues to worsen over the next couple of hours. thank you for your reporting on this, kathywant to go over to bill. bill, we're looking at the outer bands on the map behind you as to what kathy is really feeling now as the winds are beginning to pick up. you had some good news -- and i'm putting that lightly, right, about this and how it's going to hit and when exactly it's going to hit. talk us through that. >> kathy is located right here, this is charleston. on the radar that indicates where we have thunderstorms or heavy rain. you saw exactly what it looks to be in a bright red band on a radar. that's the worst rain, heavy, anywhere. we couldn't have shown you a live shot with heavier rain. i've been in charleston in the summertime in a thunderstorm and there's flooding and water everywhere just with that. i can only imagine, they're under a flash flood warning. it goes up until the noon hour. they'll extend that right through the afternoon. where is this thing going? you can see where the center is, actually, still far off the coast. it's off the coast by 60 miles or so.

going to do the next witness. >> thank you mister chairman. i want to express my appreciate both senator rand grassley for holding this important hearing. the rise in anti police rhetoric in the summer of 2020 the progressive prosecutor movement and covid lockdowns in the lack of criminal prosecutions have emboldened criminals across the board. it's been especially deadly when it comes to uniform law enforcement officers. as of june 2022, according to the fraternal order of police, they've already been 178 law enforcement officer shot in the line of duty which is -- increase from 2021. mister chairman, i would ask unanimous consent to produce the monthly update from the fraternal order of police, which indicates those figures at the end of my introduction. >> no objection. >> thank you. as we can see, this hearing is long overdue. today i'm pleased to introduce a fellow texan, trey penny, who is a sergeant but also, i see, a doctor. a doctorate from texas tech university. more to the point, at the age of 16, sergeant penny experienced a personal tragedy that would shape the trajectory of his life when his cousin was shot and killed a day before her wedding. this experience and the officer 's response to that tragedy put him on a path to protecting and serving our communities. originally, he served in the army, he served four years and simultaneously graduated with an associate degree and administration of justice from honolulu community college. sergeant pennie made his way back to texas and joined the dallas police department, where he eventually wrote to the rank of sergeant. while serving on the force, he continued his education and obtained multiple advanced degrees, including a bachelors degree in criminal justice from midwestern, a masters degree in counseling from prairie view a&m, and a doctorate of education from texas tech. in july of 2016, dallas, texas, experienced a horrific attack on our law enforcement officers, when a deranged gunman shot and killed five officers and injured nine others. at the time, mister chairman, chief brown, who is now chief of the chicago police department, was chief of the dallas police department, where i met him at the time. sergeant pennie used this unspeakable loss to fuel his efforts to stand up for fellow officers and their families. he now serves as the president and executive director of the national fallen officers association. he has worked tirelessly to bridge the gap between police and the communities they serve, helping raise awareness for fallen officers and their families. he's advocated for policy changes that would protect law enforcement and provide financial assistance to the family of those fallen officers. sergeant penny, i want to thank you for being here today. thank you for your service. >> thank you, senator cornyn. i asked all the witnesses to please rise and raise your right hand. do you swear the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you god? thank you very much. let the record reflect that all the witnesses answered in the affirmative. you each have five minutes for an opening statement, starting with chief angel novalez. >> good morning, chairman durbin, ranking member grassley, and committee members. my name is angel novalez, and i serve as a chief of constitutional policing and reform for the chicago police department. thank you very much for holding this hearing. i'm honored to represent the chicago police department and to speak on behalf of those who often feel unheard. those sons, daughters, mothers, fathers behind the badge, risking their lives every day to protect our communities. policing is a dangerous job and while it is our job to protect our communities, we can't underestimate the emotional toll it has on our officers. we are the ones responding to victims, processing crime scenes, taking those images home with us and putting that uniform back on the very next day. those experiences, they stay with us forever, bearing an impact words could never express. not every officer is physically injured in a violent and counter. but every officer endorsed the emotional scars of repeated exposure to violence. this is one of the toughest times to where the badge. this year alone, chicago police officers have been shot up 36 times, with seven of those struck by gunfire. in the last two and a half years, our officers have taken more than 24,000 guns off the streets of chicago. i'm joined today by my fellow officers, including deputy chief -- who last year was shot in the line of duty. i'm also joined by miss elizabeth french, the mother of our fallen hero, officer ella grace french. almost one year ago today, officer french and her partner, officer junior or shot in the line of duty. officer french lost her life to the wounds he sustained. each day, officer and his family continue to heal from and adapt to his catastrophic and lasting injuries. officer joshua -- melas partner and friend, sprung into action and helped to save the officer's life. although joshua did not sustain a gunshot wound, the emotional toll he will have to endure from that incident can't be overstated. these are the moments we know can happen. but we hope they never happen. ella was a source of light and joy for all who knew her. her partner, carlos, remarked she was beautiful inside and out. josh shared her love of animals and how she lived to help others. her friends say her bubbly spirit was a constant, no matter the situation. carlos comes from a police family and his colleagues have always admired his determination. in fact, when his doctor told him he would never be able to use the left side of his body, carlos set, i accept that challenge. he danced with his wife in march of this year. carlos continues to recover with his family and remains a source of inspiration for our department. early in my career, my partner and i were responding to a call of a woman crying for help. we encountered an offender with a gun. i ordered him to drop that weapon. he lowered his weapon, as if he was about the drop, it when suddenly, he fired around in my direction. i still remember the look on his face before he fired. and i felt around before i heard the shot. i thought my vest had absorbed the bullet. i didn't realize the bullet pierced through the side of my chest and traveled to collapse milan. i radioed my location and later i learned i had inadvertently radioed my mother's home address. the injury sustain from this incident remained with me today professionally, physically, and in the private corners of my mind. i still struggle with my wounds, as many officers around the country are struggling from their injuries. the injuries they have sustained, and the traumatic human experiences they witness every single day on the job. they do this while trying to balance the realities of a noble profession with their everyday lives. you can't exaggerate the impact of our experiences with crime and violence has on us. protecting those that protect us has to be a priority. i can't help to think about officer french and all the officers whose families have been left without them. i think about mrs. french, when she shared how elad became a police officer -- in a response to these we -- by saying, quote, it was important to ella grace to get as many weapons off the street as possible. her death, and that of so many other innocent people, are why we must keep working to get guns off the streets. it's a piece of the puzzle and the reason i am willing to be here. to help something good come out of the death of my dear daughter, elena grace, and quote. thank you very much for the opportunity to share with all of you here today. thank you. >> thanks, chief novalez. thank you so much for your service. officer ma andersen? >> chairman durbin, ranking member grassley, distinguished members of the panel, thank you for providing me with the opportunity to speak with you today. my name is zach andersen, i'm a public officer with cedar falls. i want to share with you today a recent experience that unfortunately is not dissimilar to many of my brothers and sisters in law enforcement. on april 9th 2021, i was working with my former agency as a sheriff's deputy in iowa. my evening started off like normal with a few calls and traffic stops. and then stopped for dinner and i heard a call come that an officer was in pursuit, this situation worsened as i learned the officer involved had been assaulted. i responded in that direction. the suspect fled to the residence, his residents, in a city center and was followed by a -- they have the suspect barricaded himself in his residence. many additional officers arrived on scene and callous attempts were made at all entrances. to call him out of his house. saying we don't want to hurt you. come out with your hands up. unfortunately all these attempts were met with no response. we did not know if the subs -- suspect was alive, away or okay. the responding agencies on scene formulated a plan of entry to the home, leading that plan with sergeant jim smith. leader with the iowa state patrol tactical team. it was decided to first and a canine into clear the basement of the residents. that was completed officers began knocking announcing the impending entry of the canine to the mid level of the home. the suspect ambushed us when the next door was opened. he was waiting for us with a shotgun. he fired two shots, striking and killing sergeant smith. the suspect were treated in his home. i remember shouts, jim, jim. trooper matt lively calling out to provide care and remove him from the -- two officers were trapped in the basement. the subject again making threats to kill us all. come in and start shooting, all kill you like a cult your buddy. i was nice, i shot him -- all shoot you in the face. the words i heard and the events a witness will be with me for the rest of my life. not a day goes by that it doesn't cross my mind. today, i can tell you that i'm doing okay but i know others are not. and actions need to be taken to protect those of us in this line of work. we need to have the right support and resources to fund the police. the image of an officer's been tarnished in recent years. the rhetoric used by the media doesn't do us any favors with clickbait headlines of what an officer did or didn't do without paying the rest of the picture. we take an oath to do our best for the communities who protect. the men and women i have had the opportunity to work with stand behind the promise daily. a suspect in the tragedy i was involved in ramped up his effort or his hatred towards law enforcement and it got much worse with the way of the world. and he had one goal that day and he had seeded -- he succeeded in achieving. i did question if you want to continue in this field. as a direct result of this incident. is it worth it? what is being done to support us after a major incident like this? we need to prioritize resources for officers. have people to talk to you, debriefings, trainings not all officers will get the help they need. so there needs to be step someplace so that they don't fall through the cracks. i'm grateful my wife encouraged me to talk but not everyone has the same support or will open up to those closest to them. events like this also take a toll on families. they also need to be supported. my wife knew that night was mostly home but i've been called into emergency. being from a small community, the word travels fast and she heard that an officer was shot killed and had not heard from me. she knew where i was but i had my gps hadn't been for hours. she said a long time that night in the unknown. she sends struggle with survivors go because she knows the relief of knowing that i was okay and coming home in the harsh reality that wasn't the case for another iowa family. on april 9th, 2021, kathy smith lost her husband, zoolander and jazz -- law enforcement family. lost their brother. sergeant smith made an ultimate sacrifice and from all that i've learned about him -- all that i've learned about him that he was the leader he was, he would have had any other way but to be sent in first to protect his man. i ask you today to lead like jim by defending us. protecting us, caring for us, validating the work that we do as law enforcement officers. we talk about holding that line. the thin blue line. serving and protecting those in need. we need our families, our friends and and our nations leaders to have our backs as we fight to hold that line. without that support that line cannot be held. thank you. >> thank you officer anderson for that powerful testimony. commissioner harrison. >> thank you, mister chairman. ranking member grassley, members of the committee for the opportunity to testify before you today. serving as a member of law enforcement is not just a profession. it is a

kathy kate, u.s. correspondent from bbc studios. nbc news presidential historian, michael beschloss. kathy, i want to start with you because i was just reading the piece you wrote for the guardian, which i found very provocative and interesting about the sort of specific role that the queen played and the challenge ahead. tell me more about that. >> i think somebody else wrote it, i had written a piece for the guardian. -- >> i apologize. >> i had to take credit, it was a good piece, chris. >> i was just reading it about, basically here's what i've been struck by. >> it was jonathan freeman and it's a wonderful piece. >> that's right, you had just tweeted. it >> about basically the role she played as a figure of public order and how that is not, you know, that has to be cultivated and something she was very focused on cultivating. and had a very profound role, and does not necessarily just come with the crown. >> i thought that was an important point. i mean, she came to the throne because the monarchy had gone through crisis after her uncle advocated and her father had to take over as king, and there were real questions about the resiliency of the monarchy in the face of that crisis. and so, her and her family were acutely aware, and she married a prince who's -- had been deposed in grief. so she was acutely aware of the risks to monarchy. monarchy didn't necessarily, it wasn't necessarily the case it was going to survive. she was determined to make sure the british monarchy not only survived, but thrived. she also had the benefit of coming onto the throne as a young woman. if you like, she was a blank slate and that was the difference she has with her son, who comes on to the throne in 73. the british public had no perception of her, other than she had been a charming girl as we just heard and that she had amended vehicles during the second world war. that was it. so, she could kind of make the world or she wanted. it was also an era when there was more deference, and i think that played to her advantage. but really, what she did was she worked to earn the trust of the british people of her subjects, and i think just as importantly, she managed to keep it. so, she won it and then she kept it, and that was the real challenge for her. it's one thing to win their trust, it's another over the course of 70 years not to put a foot wrong and not to turn republic against you, or to fall from their favor. and she really, of course there were lapses. this is not to -- there were lapses particularly around diana famously. but she basically, during the course of 70 years, she did her job impeccably. and that is why they love her. they love her for doing what she said she was going to do, which was be their servant. >> michael, i was struck reading what you had to say. hopefully i'm getting that right this time, about american presidents and british royalty before the queen, which has to say that i believe you said that woodrow wilson was the first visit with an american, with british royalty. and that was striking to me because it took a while, right? i mean, it was interesting to me that this was not something that, you know, after the revolution it just, oh yeah, american president is going to go visit the -- for various offensive reasons, it takes, like, a century and a half to get to the point where that is enough in history that you can have this kind of, you, know sort of ceremonial collegial ritualistic visit with the crown. >> right and even just technology, you know, wilson only met the king because the world war i was over and he was in versailles in paris negotiating the piece. so, it went over to -- so, it became important what kind of personalities were monarch of england and also president of the united states. but, you know, i think sometimes, chris, the only appreciative we only appreciate a little we have once she's gone and i think this was a perfect example of that. you know, people like queen elizabeth the second, but look at how improbable it would've been that she became the commanding leader that she did. she becomes queen age of 26, 1952, what other leaders are there in the world who are strong women for her to model herself after? she had to do this on her own. she was born in the 19 twenties, she was not expected to be in the line of succession, she witnessed the great depression and world war ii, she had a severely limited education, and then suddenly, against all expectations, becomes queen at the age of 26. and just as kathy wrong for 70 years. part of that was she knew how to carry herself in public, but part of it also is that this was a very shrewd and smart, and wise woman. okay, prime ministers from winston churchill on, very good advice to the same thing with american presidents, just as you are saying, chris. you know, beginning with harry truman, whom she met as a princess in washington. and so, she performed all these roles at the time that england had to win world war ii against great odds, survive in the cold war, dismember its empire without -- and still have a role in the world. and she was a popular queen through all of that, she remained relevant all the way to the end of the 70 years, as much or more than she was in 1952. >> and carrie, of course her rain is so long, right? that it views that the transformation of everything in the media. of course, court gossip is literally as old as courts. but the version of the royal industrial celebrity complex is, you know, enormous. it's a global ph

kathy and lori did almost meet by accident. when i was around six, i usedj to play with my neighbour two doors down, bruce and amy, and they said to me, - "kathy, we met a girl who looked just "likej you and acted like you and talked like you", i and i never forget barry, who is my fiance now, i and his brother when i was in fifth grade said, - "we met your twin sister." and i said, "i don't| have a twin sister." and he said, "oh yes, you do." the girls were pulled from the study after the researchers became aware, because they felt it would affect the data. but the horrible thing about this was that viola bernard told both parents these twins cannot meet and do not tell them that they are twins, so the parents had to live with this difficult important knowledge and never tell their child. both girls were dancers and when they met, they were 17 and they met secretly without their parents' knowledge. i saw lori crossing the street, and ijust saw the way- she walked and the big smile on her face. - yeah, then we hugged. it was quite an experience. it was surreal. i felt that i was staring at myself in the mirror. it was beautiful, i was in such awe of the whole thing. there were so many similarities and we shared so many similarl feelings and perceptions and artistic inclinations. | when i met with these kids i was struck by how similar they were. notjust the similar physical appearance but their whole personalities. it was quite clear to me that the genetic influences were very strong. these were psychoanalytically orientated researchers who placed heavy weight on environmental influences and on parenting, and suddenly they are confronted with twins raised apart to end up being very, very similar. the beauty of identical twins raised apart is that they share only their genes and not their environment so any resemblance between them is tied to their common genes. genetics is not everything, but it does explain a great deal of why we differ, one person to another. we find that height and weight have substantial genetic components. we find that general intelligence has a substantial genetic component, a little less than some of the physical traits like height and weight and brainwaves. nevertheless, a substantial genetic component as does special mental abilities, and then we drop down a bit when we get to job satisfaction. probably the most surprising findings in the last 20 years or so have been things like religiosity. how much you invest in religious activities and interests and political attitudes and social attitudes have a genetic component to them. these findings come from years of data collected from retrospective studies of twins raised apart, and not the neubauer—bernard project, which itself was fundamentally flawed as it did not include a control group of fraternal twins, even though they were also separated. this was the reality for allison and michelle, even though they were not studied. my son gets an e—mail on ancestry from a women in newjersey who basically blurts out and says, "i am your mother's twin sister." michelle and i got connected and were reunited and it was unbelievable. you know, physically there were a lot of things that were similar. you could tell we were sisters. there's a lot of pictures of us wearing clothing that is so similar and we grew up on opposite coasts so it is pretty incredible. the more we got to know each other, the more that we realised we were similar, emotionally and how we looked at life and how we lived our life. we find some amazing similarities in identical twins raised apart, many more that we would have anticipated, notjust in the more traditional areas but in some more unusual habits, such as a pair of twins who both used to scatter love letters around the house to their wives, and both bit their nails down to the nub and had the same mixed headache syndrome described in the same way, as if someone was beating on the head with a hammer. these are very challenging and you can ask yourself are these due to random chance? my answer to that is no, they're not. and the rarer they are, the more i believe it is somehow tied to their genes and how that interacts with their environment to produce these kinds of unusual similarities. this is certainly the case for pauline and pamela, who mirror each other in extraordinary ways. i always knew she was pregnant more or less at the same time i she did, because i always used to get the pregnancy arthritis l in my fingers. she used to come to me and say, "you're pregnant aren't you?" - we do sort of mirror each other, and it is bizarre. . when people hear about twin studies, and how much nature seems to be genetically determined, does that take away from our own sense of agency or our own control? it is very important to appreciate that genes do not work in determinative ways, they are predisposed, but they do not provide the final word. just because you have a gene, doesn't mean it will always be expressed. it takes a certain environment to bring that out. we all have genes that will be expressed given a particular environment. sometimes gene expression can occur in one twin, and not the other, and this can create differences between them. these environmental differences that trigger different gene expressions might even start in the womb. it doesn't mean we're set in stone, that we can't change. describe to me how you complement each other? although you are identical, i and that bond is always there, you have your own opinionsj and your own personalities. pauline had one half- of the bedroom and i have the other, hers was all pristine and dusted, i and mine was like a tip. i was very girly and - she was very tomboyish. i was more academic, pam was dyslexic, we didn't know that then. she's a lot more creative, i'm not at all creative. when i was a child, one thing i always wanted to do is join the police, from about the age of four. we ended up both police . officers, but if you had told be in my 20 and 30s, i i would have told you, never in a million years. it's weird, because a lot. of time twins grow apart, but we've grown into each - other, we look more like now. we'll look after each other for as long as we can, - will do that forever now, really. - i couldn't imagine, i think it would be the cruellest thing, if you're a twin, and you didn't know you're a twin, until you reach a certain age, you would have got on with your life. once you're actually told, when i look back at everything we've done together from dot, i would feel so cross and so angry that we've missed out on all these chances in the unique relationship that we've got. you would never have that, you would never have that forever person next to you, so i think it's tragic, actually. you can really cause severe harm, marital disruption, l battles down the road - between children and parents, the potential for harm is real, the potential for violation- of basic rights, - absolutely present. 0nce reunited, allison and michelle had less than three years together. michelle passed away from pancreatic cancer in early 2022. allison feels her loss keenly. i was just in awe of how bright and funny and smart she was. she was just positive, literally to the very end. i try to learn from that, and live from that, and try to have that be the way that i'm living my life, because i met her. for lori and kathyg out that they were separated was profound. we could never go back, because we were twins, | but we weren't sisters. we didn't grow up together. even to this day, that has been a very difficult part _ of our relationship. maybe you meet somebody, i would say "i'm a twin", - and "oh, that must've been so much fun growing up- together, dressing the same, looking the same." _ instead of saying no, that didn't happen, l we were separated, i didn't. want to have to go into that, i would lie, because ijust didn't feel like going - into the whole story. to continue the legacy of this secret sister, . it's been difficult, - so i'm sort of glad that hopefully people will see this. maybe it doesn't have to be such a big secret any more. she's like my best friend now. 0h, now it's a loving relationship. - so whatever happened to all the data that was collected? the data was a mess. it was just not well organised. they didn't really seem to have an understanding of the proper way to handle it, fr

>> i think the only place to hide right now two-year, 3-year and four-year treasury and that's the best place to go hide, own dollars, own a little bit of gold and given the fact that the fed is tightening, rates will continue to go higher but only twoers, three years, four years and even 5 years treasuries is probably place to hide at this point. maria: ryan, you're on the other side of the trade. we will get the august housing start and building permits at 8:30 a.m. eastern. the number of new homes under construction expected to decline. one at the point of a percent but permits are expected to decline 4 and a half percent, ryan, after the naahb housing market index fell for nine month in a row yesterday, the lowest level since may 2020 adding to the housing market slowdown as mortgage rates are above 6%. what kind of impact are we expecting in housing with these higher rates and other industries that are sensitive to higher rates. ryan: first off, i think this is expected. denise expected the policy. i didn't laugh at you. i had your back. we know construction costs are higher, interest rates have come up a lot. 1% on a 30-year mortgage right when we were 3% at the beginning of the year. this all bodes not favorable for people buying homes right now and may get even worse for would-be sellers because the rental market is so strong instead of selling it they may rent it and that leaves supply limited and that's where the real bottom loin is. supply and demand. at the end of the day even though price have gone up, interest rates have gone up a lot. there's so many americans that want to buy a home. so i think prices will soften here and you're starting to see across the country but they can only go down so much and i keep saying this, it's not like 2008 and 2009 where you had oversupply of houses. you don't. you have a cohort, millennials that want to buy homes, that's are in formation stage, a lot of people buying a lot of stuff in the economy so for all those reasons, yeah, i think it's going to see a correction and not a bubble bursting. maria: yeah, ryan, we have heard from a handful of companies that have seen demand destruction because of inflation and higher interest rates. look at the ford story today, ford stock is down because of this and stephanie pomboy who as you know is a regular on this program, has been a profit recession now for over a year she's been telling us about this. here is stephanie a couple of times ago on this program. watch this. >> i do think that we will see a recession in large part of demand destruction on the part of the soon you meaners which is making it harder for companies to pass the price increases that they've enduring along and we have seen plenty of anecdotal evidence. maria: she was spot on, that's what we were hearing from ford today and the question how many other industries are we going to see in a profit's recession. ryan: retail sales came in at another increase this past week for august. i'm not buying it, maria. i think -- maria: you're not buying it. ryan: the labor market is tight. every business owner the biggest issue isn't demand but finding workers. bottom line consumers will continue to spend and i do think on the ground floor here you are starting to see inflation come down. it's not showing up in the numbers yet and commodity prices have come down significantly, shipping costs have come down and even the ford issues are in the review mirrors and trade four times earnings, for all the reasons here it's really hard not to be optimistic and i think you're missing a huge opportunity if you're not getting invested right now. you heard it here first. maria: all right, denise, that's what makes a market, ryan and denise on the other side of the trade. good to see you both. thank you so much. we will talk soon. quick break and the house oversight committee will vote today on a resolution thanks, gentlemen, that resolution could shed light on what president biden knew about his son's influence peddling. we are on with senator ron johnson when we come back. ♪ ♪ ♪ if you shop with the walmart app?

>> good morning, maria. of course, former dni ratcliffe has an advantage over me. he's seen the documents. i subpoenaed them. i never got them. i know president trump declassified a bunch of documents really so that we could take a look at those. again, we never got those. i've always been somewhat suspicious that those on the documents that might be in mar-a-lago but i will definite i but i -- i willdefinite i will e a problem and congress is not subject to those redactions. we ask for the same foia documents and it's like pulling teeth trying to get redactions removed. we have a real problem with oversight but the agencies know what they are trying to hide. we don't, so it's a cat and mouse game but they hold all the cards. maria: they will say something is top secret when it's actually not top secret when it's misinformation. senator it's the reason that you and 32 colleagues have written a letter to merrick garland, hunter biden prosecutor to be given special council authority as the house oversight committee will vote on a resolution that would force biden to handle any documents related to the family's foreign business deals and tell me what's going on and whether or not the republicans can really do anything here still being in the minority? >> well, we can certainly highlight the problem, that's kind of what we are doing with all of these letters but the agencies hold all of the cards, they hold all of the information. we don't know things that they are hiding. we is suspect it. i'm not that fond of a special counsel. we have seen the politicization of the fbi, the department of justice, the politicization have gone in overdrive in the biden administration and i don't know another alternative to see u.s. attorney rice can be made special counsel and be more independent. we have been told by whistleblowers that he does not have the resources to conduct the proper investigation of hunter biden through whistleblowers. we know the fbi had a scheme in august 2020 to play the derogatory information on hunter biden. all whistleblowers say once fbi gained position of computer in december 2019 they were told not to look at the hunter biden computer. so we have a real problem inside these agencies. they do not have credibility. they do not have integrity at some of the highest leverages, some of the individuals. i think most agent that is do which is why i encourage more of them to come forward if you want to restore credibility of the agencies, we want to know the truth, when i say we the american public so we can make them accountable and get rid of them. maria: jim jordan was on tucker carlson, they are cooking the books alleging that the fbi agents were to open investigations in order the make the threat appear larger than it really was. that was behind part of the investigation into january 6th and why victims are behind bars right now and they shouldn't be and he said that they are deprioritizing child trafficking to emphasize domestic terrorism. is that how you feel? >> when i was chairman of homeland security we would have annual threat hearing and ranking member would always be bringing up white supremacy which i condone -- i condemn. we have so many other threats facing the nation. what's going on here. we have written to merrick garland in terms of investigating the more than 470 riots which occur in 2020, what kind of resources are you putting behind, bringing people to justice that injured 2,000 law enforcement officers, 1 to $2 million worth of damages. what are you doing to investigate that versus all the resources and prosecutions you're concentrating on one day which we also condemn. maria: well, there are 2.1 million migrants that were apprehended at the southern border in the last 11 months. the border is wide open. so-called border tsar kamala harris keeps saying the border is closed. what what's has this meant for homeland security. you're on the homeland security, what can this meant for threats? >> we are overwhelming customs and border patrol more than 7,000 people per day over the last 4, 5 months over 6,000 people per day since biden took office. opened up the lanes for deadly drugs, fentanyl, methamphetamine, local sheriffs in wisconsin don't even have to shut down meth houses anymore because there's no reason to be producing methamphetamine here in the u.s., we just bring it in through mexico. so it's a huge national security threat. we have caught people on terror watch list but we've had probably close to a million nobody and unknown got aways. we don't know who those people are. maria: unbelievable. >> huge national security threat, homeland security threat. they are ignoring it. they don't even call it a problem, it's just a challenge. maria: senator, thank you very much. we will keep watching. good to see you, senator ron johnson. johnson. >> have a good day. maria: you too.ed we will be. right back. think w'. okay. let's go. mom, do you know where some wrapping paper... need to wrap something for grandma. uh, yeah. ready?

all right, we are looking at china, china central bank cutting borrowing cut of 14-day reverse repos and also to try to help an economy that has been crushed by covid lockdowns. chinese officials attempt to go boost the economy now as the year-end outlook remains grim. beijing second quarter gdp coming at four tenths of a percent. wolfpack, dan david. thank you very much for being here again. the official growth target for china is 5.5% in 2022. we don't really know what the numbers are, we are being told the numbers by the communist party but what are your growth stories of china this year? >> my team is on the ground in china are largely not working on any given day. they lock down blocks and blocks, city miles so that nobody could leave their home. their phone turns red, they can't leave. whatever they say is going to be, i don't believe it and i never did. maria: there's a great story. the u.s. got china's instead, the arrest of a burned out intelligence officer, espionage machine. we know that there are surveillance going on throughout america. they shut down the embassy in houston. what are your thoughts on where the surveillance campaign stands today? >> it's not robust enough on our part. we've -- you know, we've known for years and decades that we've been stolen from -- either from technology, forced technology transfers through minority ownership outright theft. universities have been pushing the scientific community to share that information. continues to be stolen, it's nowhere near robust enough. maria: yet the chinese government wants their companies to be listed on u.s. exchange even though they don't follow audit rules, inspectors of oversight board are beginning to review audit files of publicly traded chinese companies, the outcome of eight to ten-week process can determine whether the companies will be able to continue to trade on u.s. exchange. what are you expecting, dan, and we should point out that when u.s. investors invest in these companies what they are doing is funding the expansion of the chinese companies, these companies are tied to the ccp and may very well be the companies that the ccp uses to fight back american interest or taiwanese should american investors be funding this expansion? >> those are two very important points, taking the last one for. we for the longest time have funded their expansion in military and artificial intelligence and biology and all of the science that they are using against us we pay for that. they list their companies here. we fund them, maybe they tell us that the proper numbers and accountings they have for the companies, maybe they don't. either way they are not accountable to it because, again, it's not illegal for chinese citizen to israel from an american citizen. what's happening in hong kong with psaob inspections doesn't change that fact. so we absolutely have funded, you know, what has become our largest most dangerous adversary with technology. what they haven't stole we paid for and we gave them. now as far as hong kong goes, it's china. it's no longer hong kong the way we knew it where it should have economic status, special trade status. that should have been taken away but now we are making it special by saying after a bipartisan 100% house and senate voted for the holding foreign companies act, there will be nothing that happens in that room that the chinese government doesn't know before everybody else and that's why they are doing them in china. maria: of course not, dan. shouldn't the u.s. know this? the ccp sent all the goons and jimmy lai trying to fight for freedom. they could arrest anybody that says anything about the ccp, so why would the u.s. comply to do it in hong kong? >> because the strongest foot soldiers that china has in the united states are fortune 500 companies who don't want anything to change. they want predictable profits, period. maria: they want the money? >> well, look, their bonuses depend on it. they have to make next quarter and the year and if some people get hurt and intentions are skimmed, that's fine by them, so they are going to advocate for this relationship. maria: so do you think a guy like larry fink who runs blackrock understands that when he says double down, triple down on owning chinese stocks to all of his investors he has trillions in aum under asset management. do you think he understands that he's recommending investing in the very companies that may very well turn around and get hostile on american and they are stealing intellectual property? >> of course he understands. larry fink can't be smart and stupid in the same conversation. he's smart, period. he understands and he's made an incredible multigenerational wealth for himself and his family, you know, making these investments and he's not going the back off that policy until, maybe it's too late and who saw this coming except all of us. maria: yeah. i know for sure your kids and my kids will definitely not have the same upbringing and opportunities that we h had a world where communist china is the world superpower. >> they would not have freedom, they would not have freedom of speech and freedom of thought. a lot of liberals are taking the freedom of thought away. that's just doing the leg work, the base work for china so you're right it's a different generation coming up and i definitely feel for it. maria: very discouraging, dan, good to talk to you. thanks very much for laying it all out there. we will continue to follow it. dan david joining us this morning on the threat of communist china. quick break and consumers may be facing sticker shock when they go to pay utility bills this winterment my next guest is breaking down just how much it will cost our households, that's next, you're watching mornings with maria live on fox business. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the new 2023 gmc sierra at4x is equipped to conquer the great outdoors... ...or the great indoors. welcome to the peak of premium off-roading. the new 2023 gmc sierra at4x. gmc. we are professional grade pst. girl. you can do better. at least with your big-name wireless carrier. with xfinity mobile you can get unlimited for $30 per month on the nation's most reliable 5g network. they can even save you hundreds a year on your wireless bill over t-mobile, at&t, and verizon. wow. i can do better! yes you can! i can do better, too! now you really can do better! switch to the fastest mobile service - xfinity mobile. now with the best price on two lines of unlimited. just $30 a line. maria: welcome back, the energy information administration is forecasting the surge throughout the winter. associates president lipao. andy, great to see you. thank you very much for being here. i want to get your take on how prices can go and what you're expecting in terms of heating bills in the winter months? >> well, maria, thanks again for having me. when we look at doubling of natural gas prices it's going to hit the consumer in two ways not only in their home heating bills where here in texas where you look at fuel cost adjustment factor being up 50% compared to february that's going to add over $100 per month to the consumer but also in their electricity bills because nationwide 38% of our electricity is again rated from natural gas and we can already see from the eia that price of electricity is up 11 and a half percent compared to a year ago. maria: is this a supply-demand dynamic then, andy? >> well, it certainly is if we think about the amount of electricity that's being demanded by the consumer here over the summer due to high temperatures around the country impacting and we haven't been able to generate storage as we go to high winter months. around the world we really do have energy crisis that's costing higher energy prices across the board. maria: yeah, we are also looking at pain at the pump, the national gas price average has come in at 3.67 a gallon but that's higher than it was at this time last year, andy. what's your take on gasoline and where that goes? >> well, i have a little bit of good news for the consumer because i do expect that gasoline prices are going to continue to decline down the 3 and a half dollars a gallon by october but after that it seems that gasoline prices are going to stabilize, will have stop releasing oil from the strategic petroleum reserve. inventories around the world are low and when we look at opec plus they failed to restore production of 3 and a half billion barrels a day so the world is getting that much tighter on oil. maria: i'm glad that you brought up the petroleum reserves because the biden administration is set to sell more oil from the strategic petroleum reserve this upcoming november and we have a chart here that shows the strategic petroleum reserves are down quite considerably. andy, i thought this was a reserve that was for a crisis situation, why sell it now? this president has been selling oil to foreigners including china, what's the point here? >> well, the point is it buy it is industry time to come up with alternative supplies as the european union and the united states are banning the purchase of russian oil but it does nothing to get more oil and energy out of the ground and that is really what the world is looking for. you know, it has benefited the consumer to about 15 to 20 cents a gallon for gas line prices but the big decline in gasoline is due to the consumer changing driving habits and using less of it. maria: but do you worry that we are selling too much from the petroleum strategic reserve and it's not doing anything to america, that's for sure? >> well, i am concerned about it because it's not doing much to get more oil out of the ground and the world continues to use more gasoline, dice seal and jet fuel and that's where our policies have to change in order to encourage additional energy supplies and we see a similar thing happening in europe especially the united kingdom, france and italy. they are paying far higher prices for their natural gas than we are here but their policies are preventing them from drilling into the ground and releasing those natural gas reserves that they have. maria: yeah, i don't think you want that as your template, that's for sure. andy, good to see you. thank you very much for weighing in on all of that. andy lipow this morning. quick break governor kathy say about the lax job da bragg is doing. the problem is her policy that released the man who axed crazy in mcdonalds and put back on the streets in hours. her comments when we come back. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪ i may be close to retirement but i'm as busy as ever. careful now. nice! you got it. and thanks to voya, i'm confident about my future. oh dad, the twins are now... ...vegan. i know, i got 'em some of those plant burgers. nice! nice! yeah. voya provides guidance for the right investments and helps me be prepared for unexpected events. they make me feel like i've got it all under control. because i do. ok, that was awesome. voya. be confident to and through retirement. another busy day?

kathy join us as well. we have had the opportunity to work together on a variety of environments over the years. so, welcome kathy. >> thank you very much. chairwoman smith, ranking member rounds, and member of the senate subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today. i am cathy ten broeke, brook assistant commissioner and director of minnesota's inter agency council on homelessness, and the council's a cabinet level body led by our lieutenant governor, led by -- peggy flanagan -- . -- minnesota has a strong history of bipartisan leader on homelessness. i fork on the issue for nearly 30 years, and direct service and public policy roles. and i have witnessed progress, missed opportunities, lessons learned, and heartbreak. we have, in this moment, a critical opportunity to shift how we respond to homelessness and to see this as a crisis and they the public health emergency that it is. today, i want to share with you what's working in minnesota and where challenges remain. minnesota is home to 87 counties and 11 tribal nations. homeless in us impacts every part of the state. approximately 38,000 people are homeless on a given night. half our families with children and 25% are -- people with children, shelter, sleeping outside -- approximately 40% of all people identified as homeless are in rural parts of our state. one for minnesota household pays more than they can afford for housing, putting them at risk of houselessness. over the last two decades, rent rose 21%, while incomes rose by just 3%. homelessness shows the impacts of racism. in minnesota, if you are black, you are 15 times more likely to be homeless than a white minnesota in. if you are native american, you are 27 times more likely to be homeless. and our work on homelessness in minnesota has shown uneven progress. we have had engagement and investments from all levels of government. we have had the greatest success, our best proof that and the homelessness is possible is our collective work to end homelessness. with a dedicated resources guided by data and evidence, the outcomes have been stunning. we have been effectively ending veteran homelessness in 85 of minnesota's 87 counties. i look forward to the day when being a veteran in minnesota is now a protective factor for homelessness. i look forward to the day we are being a child is a protective factor. when having a serious health condition is a protective factor -- and when your race does not increase your likelihood of becoming homelessness homeless. in minnesota, we have increased resources for family and children, and that's driven up -- statewide in the decade starting in 2010. these -- we credit these reductions -- coordination with employment services and investment and families with the very highest barriers to accessing housing. we have learned over the years that all people are ready for housing. we need housing that is ready for them. the pandemic, well devastating and traumatic, was also a moment of great learning. minnesota and federal resources helped us save lives during the pandemic. statewide, we established 2800 hotel rooms and other safe spaces to allow for physical distance, provide emergency staffing, food, supplies, isolation, and additional state housing support. the increased resources helped a struggling hospitality industry and expanded shelter services, created a hotel to home model, which make the people staying outside with permanent housing. in addition to the resources that helped protect people in shelters, and outside, federal rental assistance during the pandemic, that was critical to stemming the tide of homelessness. minnesota administered federal emergency rental assistance to every county in the state. and if the county reported 1000 fewer children experienced homelessness in 2021, then they did two years earlier, they credit that to the widespread availability of rental assistance. sadly, those federal resources have come to an end. we are starting to see a return to the 2019 rates of family homelessness. federal investments during the pandemic has given minnesota the opportunity to show what is possible. federal partnership in tackling the challenges ahead will be critical to our success going forward. i have for high-level recommend nations to share with you, and you will find many more details and i submitted testimony as well. one, the homeless response worked system is overwhelmed and underfunded. we need congress to make more and sustained investment and housing and homelessness programs. during the pandemic, we witnessed the lifesaving work of shelters and outreach workers, and we also know that while shelters do save lives, housing is what ends homelessness. housing is out of reach for the lowest income americans. we need congress to increase the supply of housing, as well as its affordability, by making bold investments in rental assistance. three, people with complex medical conditions including, substance use, mental illness, and other physical health issues, are not well served in existing systems or interventions. we need increased investments in a stronger alignment of social services, health care, and housing. and finally, our system to prevent and and homelessness for veterans works. we need to sustain that commitment, and we need to expand it to reach all populations. all of these solutions will require that we center the voices and experiences of people who have faced homelessness. they are the experts in what works. we know that housing is a social determinant of health. but it's also a social determinant of educational achievement, workforce growth, and neighborhood community and state and national well-being. the resources invested to respond to the pandemic taught us what was possible, and it is my hope that we will continue to respond with that same level of urgency. i have never stopped believing that in minnesota, in this country, we can achieve the vision that all people have a safe place to call home. that children and youth do not have to sleep in cars one night and go to school the next day, and we can live in a state and country without homelessness. this is a problem we know how to solve, and it is not a question of can we, but will we. thank you. >> thank you, ms. cathy ten broeke. i'm now happy to welcome virtually to the committee,, jamie kirsch. >> thank you so much to the committee, for inviting me to be here today. i am a current and active board member for journey on and i'm also a non law enforcement employee of the rapid city police department. journey on was incorporated as a non profit in 2018 by tracy signals that, a member of the the mohawk tribe. in early 2020, we are focused on use mentorship and substance abuse recovery. it was also in 2020 that the rapid city police department was awarded a community based reduction grant through bja, determining what to focus the rent on, it's essential to address houselessness, given that it was roughly generating 65% of calls. additionally, it was clear that native american suffered from housing assistance disproportionately, making up over 80% of those who are considered literally houseless. -- low morale among officers, as they were not equipped with the tools to address the causes of helplessness, or the resources to provide sustainable solutions. realizing the need for greater collaboration and coordination with native led social service organizations, they rapid city police department approached journey on to see if they would consider building capacity for a community initiative response to rapid cities growing houseless community. with partner neon, with police department, and university of south dakota, applied for a hug esg cares act fund grant. since this grants has funded 85% of journey on street outreach efforts. in january of 2021, the city of -- rapid city reached a contract with journey, on funding three -- since early december of 2021, january journey on has responded to nearly 5000 calls to 9-1-1 dispatch. journey on operates as part of a larger coal response team that includes the police departments quality of life unit, the fire department's mobile medic team, -- tribal -- health board, and health and human services and volunteers of america. since early december, we estimate that journey on! has saved the city of rapid city nearly $873,000. journey on, has 13 employees and all but one is native american. all have lived experience with houselessness, the criminal justice system, and or addiction. each of journey on!'s team members use a credible -- most of journey on! team embers are native american as well. some -- come with the concept of homelessness, and prefer the term houselessness or houseless relatives. the in march of 2020, to a collection of partners including members of journey, on our cpd, and the city of rapid city develop the we connect business tool kit. the 29 page booklet focuses on educating businesses about the house of population, native american culture, mental health challenges, appropriate responses to our houseless community, and many other topics. this was a critical the sea of connecting journey on! -- responding to our houseless community members. the challenges, there are key organizational challenges our federal funding. federal funding does not allow for staff to receive paid time off and provides no avenue for health care or retirement benefits. the 10% de minimis rate is too low to accommodate the needs of staffing to run a team effectively, or to meet the eventuated birding required by data tracking requirements. the reimbursement of federal grants makes it difficult for small, and already led organizations, and -- to secure federal grant to maintain them. developing capacity for community based organizations like journey on it's difficult. when journey on -- no functioning -- and no sustainable revenue stream. over the past two, years a collective group of board members invested in incredible amount of time to develop a capacity for journey on. journey on! -- local native led organizations now working with the white house on my community violence intervention collaborative, or civic. through civic, journey on is receiving technical assistance and many grants to support capacity. the white house civic initiative means much more funding over a longer period of time to support the types of local innovation that is set out to create and support. housing challenges. in rapid city, we have very few options for emergency shelter. according to a 2022 report, they reported 35% of the total unsheltered -- largest city in south dakota -- two and a half times of population. second, what we understand that the housing first model, some folks are not ready to go straight into permanent housing require transitional housing options. folks who are not used to living on their home need to -- the need to create new social networks, and they need to learn the routines and methods to comply with rules in the space to do that. third, rapid city is 3000 affordable housing units short of what it needs. the weightless for south dakota housing programs is 180 people long. and painting county housing has a waitlist of 3200 people for years. rapid city is nearly impossible to incentivize -- market rate apartments are at a premium and developing -- is costly. there are very few -- developers can take advantage of to develop the methods to address -- and lastly, the pit count is not communities to capture those who are housing insecure and it certainly does not allow us to secure -- native american community members experience. many of those waiting in our tribal areas do not have access to any form of emergency shelter, leaving sometimes 20 people to a one bedroom home, because they have to. some of these homes are not fit for human habitation, having no roof or siding to keep it safe from elements, and no running water or electricity or trash collection. with that, i would like to thank the committee members of the senate who and we invited journey on! to speak here today, and to take the time to learn about how are our innovative model works and the challenges we face and making it sustainable. >> thank you so much to all of. yet we will now begin a round of questions from senators. each senator will have approximately five minutes and i would like to have have senator reid go first. >> i think the chairwoman for her gracious visit. and thank you all for your excellent testimony, and i could tell you the same story. providence, rhode island, the average rent have jumped 23. 8% in the previous year. that is extraordinary. we are running out of our emergency rental assistance funds. the emergency shelters are closing down. our frontline staff, as you all no, is really burning out after the pandemic. and that y is essential, i think, that we increased funding for the homelessness assistance grants. that would include a continual care program, which is over 750,000 people. also the -- grants serving another proximity 30 50,000. miss olivia, are there, why a federal resources like homelessness assistant grants essential to combatting homelessness, particularly as the pandemic specific programs begin to wind down? thank you so much, senator reed, for that question. as you might remember, i actually ran those programs at hud for about ten years, so they are near and dear to my heart. you know, those programs, those that are funded through the homeless assistance grants, count, and i would also count hud vash in that general group of homeless specific programs. they really, they form the backbone of our homelessness response in our country. and in a lot of communities, not all communities, but in a lot of communities, most of them are funding that is available for homelessness assistance programs. so increasing resources in the continuum of care program through the esg program and hud vash are sort of the backbone and a lifeline for many communities and their response to homelessness. it also creates a way for hud to be able to put forth promising practices and evidence based approaches and prioritize funding for those types of resources. since we're talking about the continuum of care program i would, note three things. the first is, thank you so much for that legislation that allows tribes to receive and be eligible for the continuum of care program. it's important. there are some issues related to implementation we are all working out right now. but it was incredibly important. to -- -- ask for two tools. in addition to increasing the funding for deterrence. one is increasing the cap on planning for continuum's of care. that is really important, because continuum's of care are really the subject matter experts. as funding is coming into communities that goes through other types of sort of mechanisms, it is important for cbocs two have planning dollars to work with them. they also mentioned having a two-year no fussy false cycle, and we would support that. the national supports that. in part, for some of the reasons that ranking member rounds mentioned, local need some time to do implementation and to had them to your funding cycle will be really helpful there. the last thing that i would note that was raised by one of our colleagues up here in the panel is around staffing, and increasing -- the crc program requires increases in fair market rents and leasing amounts that are commensurate with what's happening in the community. i would say we need to do the same for staffing, so that providers are properly resourced and can provide their staff with cost of living increases when they need to. >> thank you very much. let me just quickly. because you mentioned the hug vash to your colleague. ms. -- i think. one of the things i have observed, first of all, the hud vash program is extremely so. there are many areas where the batteries are going underutilized. is that on issue you have identified, and can you give us some insight as to why they are being underutilized? >> absolutely. i think there are a number of issues to unpack there, from a lack of staffing at va for case managers, to a rental market that may not be as willing to accept vouchers, i think we hear from communities across the country that it is just getting harder and harder to move veterans with vouchers into permanent housing. i think even for some of the veterans who already have vouchers to retained housing that we have, because the housing market is just so hot, and landlords can move on to other, higher paying clientele. so, i do think that we need to get creative around how we can incentivize landlords and pa jays to get vouchers out the door, but, also how we support va to better case manage folks who are utilizing factors and how we can get them some flexibility there. >> thank you very much. thank you, it's inspired. but i want to thank all the panelists for. your thoughtful testimony today and for your incredible efforts. thank you very much. >> thank you, senator reed. i want to start with -- i'm going to start here. i think each of you in one way or another talked about the great benefit -- during the course of the pandemic, the impact of the resources we were able to provide for rental assistance and the child tax credit and other strategies to lift peoples income and make housing more affordable. several of you also talked about how this was an opportunity for sometime around innovation, and really trying new things, and trying to find some examples of really, real success on the ground. you know, miss ten broeke, i've been turn to you first. i've been hard to see heartened to see some real successes in minnesota, went head up in county, we've seen the lowest number of people experiencing homelessness, i think, in the last 17 years. could you share with us, briefly, what we have seen in minnesota and the impact on the ground of covid relief funding, and what lessons, what are the key lessons or takeaways in terms of what we have learned to do, good lessons we have learned during the course of this terrible time? >> thank you very much, senator smith. i'm happy to respond to that. we were able, with the covid federal resources just, to be so much more flexible and to get those dollars out to the community quickly, to respond to the crisis at hand. because of, that because we are returning to communities and saying what is going to work, and what do you need to make this work? they were coming up with innovations we had not seen before. you know, when the pandemic hit and as many of you know, many, many people saw refuge in encampments. that at one point to minneapolis, we had encampment of south minneapolis with over 200 tents, people really struggling, and we were able to use federal resources quickly to stand up some new programming, one being a specific shelter they could bring people inside that was for that kind of shelter, that could meet their needs. they may have remained outside an unsafe, if not for that. one of our housing providers who is helping us get the hotel to home model, which is another very innovative project. of course, if we've never done it before. it helps the hospitality industry, but also standing up models that would work with people, bring them into hotels, and protect them from the pandemic. they very, very intensely work with them to get out of those hotels into permanent housing so they didn't return to the streets. during, that the big, large encampment, that same provider with the i can't, they literally talk with almost every single person staying in the encampment to find out from them what would work to bring them in and make them feel safe. they developed a program called of the village. it's literally an indoor village of structures were people have their own privacy, their own space, they could come in, they could be safe, and once, again like a hotel program, they could work individually to help get people out and into permanent, stable housing. that is the goal of all of the programs that we are working on. so, i can't say enough about how important the flexibility and the way they were delivered with urgency, especially with difference, and it wasn't just in the metro area. even though that was the area where things were most visible, in terms of the challenge. in rochester, multiple organizations, including the king city library system, that partner to operate -- space and overnight shelter. and moving people in ramsey, out of hotels and into supportive programs. the american indian community development corporation was just an amazing partner, the whole time, they were trying to increase the amount of really specific native focused work, which is really who is most dramatically impacted by unsheltered homelessness during the pandemic. i am very grateful to minnesota for the resources were able to use, along with rental assistance that kept people in their housing. hennepin county really did see fewer people experience experiencing homelessness during the pandemic than before because of rental assistance. that proves to us that that is the kind of intervention, sometimes, for every small amounts of resource, we can keep people and housing and prevent long term costs, and obviously, the trauma of homelessness on children. >> thank you so much. i'm going to return to the other members of the panel to ask a follow-up to that question. but i know that senator -- i believe that senator tester from montana's online -- >> i am -- >> i would like to give senator tester a chance to ask questions. >> thank you, madam chair. unfortunately, this is an issue that's it's fundamental to communities in life and families and all of that stuff. kathryn monet, it's good to see you again. as you know, one of the most successful initiatives in efforts to end veterans homelessness -- this program continues to suffer from va's ability to hire case managers, so i would love to know what without a, and va's current effort to resolve this issue, both internally and through contracting. >> so -- i'm sorry. i think i will start by saying that contracting is a really great opportunity to address some of the shortages, but i do think there is a lot more that va could do. what we saw during the pandemic was that va was getting creative about using some of the rescue plan and cares funding to actually pay for hiring incentives and moving costs, to recruit hud vash case managers to communities where they might otherwise have a hard time doing that. now, they are not able to do that once the current emergency help that designations. i think that is one thing. i do think we have also seen communities where va have gotten really creative around what constitutes hud vash case management, meaning they're taking a more multi disciplinary approach and utilizing the support of peers to kind of help stretch the ability of a licensed clinical social worker, for example, to be able to successfully case manage the veterans on the caseload. i think there's a lot more lot more that we can dive into, if congress is willing to support them in doing that. >> okay. so, this goes, i think, to you, kathryn monet, i think i will also see if cathy ten broeke we would like to visit about this. i heard your opening statements. but housing is not only available for low income folks, it's not available for workforce folks. i would say in montana, it's not available in montana. i will bet you, chairwoman smith, you could say it's not available in minnesota. i will bet you, senator cortez masto, is not available in nevada. it's not available anywhere. affordable housing, it is an incredible boat anchor. it's one of the reasons we should have done something, but we are doing nothing. in my opinion, it's a problem that won't solve itself. it will probably take 30 or 40 years to do it. what do you think we could do help speed up availability, and i will leave low income out of it. just affordable housing for folks to be able to fill jobs and, important jobs, to, whether it's a teacher or a auto mechanic or a brick layer or whatever it might be, it's receiving the federal government can do? or is this just live with it? and communities continue to struggle to find places for entrepreneurs and for folks in the working class to live? you can go first, ms. kathryn monet. >> i think we've seen during the pandemic that some communities gun really creative around taking existing space and converted into housing. and i think we've seen this predominantly for affordable housing, but i think it is a model that could work for workforce housing as well. potentially it, might be easier to execute because you wouldn't be worrying about rental subsidies and such. >> what are they used for money to do this rehab? >> i want to pitch this to ann oliva on the panel. she might be better equipped to ask. >> go ahead, pitch it to her. -- >> well, -- the work works model is all about -- also creating opportunities for people who have jobs to -- >> just stop for a second. here's the problem. we have got people -- we don't have any people -- we've got jobs up the goods you. jabs up the gazebo. you can walk in, have no experience, and you can get a good paying job, but you can't be hard, because there's no place to live. how do we fix that problem? >> what i was going to say is -- to converting spaces -- the problem is there's no funding to do that from the federal level because it's not traditional units and all the regulations. but you can have very high quality residences like the former sros reimagined. those can accommodate work force populations that we know we need to invest in higher wages and training so that you can move up the career ladder, but for that first run workforce, it's rattling cost-effective to convert commercial spaces, hotels, and other types of housing stock quicker and faster. the problem is the funding stream. as we've talked about innovative solutions, we should not only expand on the existing funding streams, but we need to think more about other models that can be funded so it is possible for developers on the ground to quickly act and create housing. >> a chair for minnesota, kathy, maybe the chairman would let you respond to that quickly. because i'm out of time. >> happy for the opportunity, senator. >> thank you, chairwoman smith. i think it's an all in strategy, senator. there's frankly no wrong affordable housing investments. i think in minnesota, it's true everywhere. our largest source of housing resources to create housing is the federal low income tax credit. i think increasing the opportunities to invest in that is hugely important, but many, many of the various ways we create housing are all needed. to your point, senator, i couldn't agree more. we need housing supply at all price points. that's not just low income, it's also true that we need to make sure our tools in our tool box will work to create lower income housing as well. we are 100,000 units short of housing that people at very lowest incomes in minnesota can afford. that is more dramatic than the rest of the population. but i agree with you. we needed at all levels. >> thank you very much.
