mr. cleaver: i appreciate your candor on that. i know, annually were bringing up black students from kansas city to washington. trying to give them this experience in hopes some of them would want to do this. i'm not -- i don't think there has been any intentionality on your part. i'm trying to figure out what we can do with you to be helpful and maybe we could talk about that at a later point. i'm very concerned about the c.r.a. issue. it came about in 1977 i think, somewhere, about that time, and the initial charge was that the litigant institutions, banking institutions were -- lending institutions, barninging institutions were not giving to underserved areas of the city or investing and some cases depositing. we have c.r.a. right now but i'm having difficult -- -- difficulty -- i intend to talk to the chair about this earl year. i'm not sure that i can put my fingers on c.r.a. project or what they are doing in my local community. maybe they are more visible elsewhere. are you convinced that c.r.a. is where it ought to be? or s

cleaver: thank you, madam chair, and thank you for this hearing. mr. chairman, thank you for being with us today. i want to do the majority of my discussion with you about cra. i've got to go to the "new york times" article and ask what is your response to the article, which essentially is suggesting that, particularly as it relates to economists, that african-americans are not even represented at the level they are in any other particular area? i think the quote was, in the article, that black people are less represented than they are in the field as a whole. can you give us your take on the article? is it accurate? is it fair? what do you think? chair powell: i am not the one to judge whether it is accurate or fair. i would say we are not where we want to be on this. we do work hard at it. it is something that i am personally committed with, and that the whole fed is focused on strengthening our workforce diversity. . we are out there aggressively recruiting come up with encouraging young minority kids to get interested in economics. i meet with peop

mr. cleaver, you're recognized for five minutes >> thank you, madame chair, and i, too, would like to thank you for this hearing it's a question that a lot of people are asking, probably many of us as we, you know, go throughout our districts let me start with you, mr. tenev. i'm just curious, if you can give it to me in a short period of time, how did you come up with your name for your -- the company? >> absolutely, thank you for that question, congressman robinhood stands for lowering the barriers to entry, and democratizing finance for all so so the same tools that institutions and wealthier high net individuals have had for a long time should be available to the people regardless of their net worth or how much money they have. >> okay. i appreciate the answer, you know, because of something i would also embrace i have a 23-year-old on the other side of the house who i love dearly. but he has no training, no income, no qualifications. how in the world could he get like a million dollars worth of leverage >> thank you, congressman. so the leverage that we provide to our customers, which

mr. cleaver. rep. cleaver: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to show appreciation first of all for this hearing, because i think it is right on time, and i think always are very knowledgeable witnesses and articulate witnesses. i want to thank you, mr. krebs, for your integrity. it is good for the whole country to see what integrity looks like. my concern right now is global versus domestic terrorism. you know, we are told by the fbi that the greatest threats to our country are coming from within, which witnesses already talked about being one of the goals of russia. so i am concerned frankly about whether or not there is enough intelligence or data that would allow us to know whether domestic threats coming from various groups around the country are also a cyber threat to the country. so mr. krebs, i would like to hear all of our witnesses on the domestic threat, and whether i am overthinking it to believe that could eventually become one of the greatest threats to us, if not already one of those threats. mr. krebs: thank you, sir, for

cleaver: madam chair, i am so glad to have mr. anthony with us. we have a problem in congress that you can recognize, and that is that the federal government liens on governors because most of the people that come from other divisions, they come from state legislatures, state senates, and there are only a few of us who are mayors. we tend to do dumb things like the first cares act, we would give direct grants to cities only populated over 500,000. we did fix that. it is important for people to remember that 27 states in our union don't have any cities over 500,000. one thing i want to find out from you, mr. mayor, is, there seems to be this resistance, particularly on the republican side, of giving money to cities and states in our package. what would you say to them, or what can you say to them right now in terms of that need and what happens if we don't do it? >> thank you, congressman cleaver, for the opportunity to respond. what we are seeing is a loss of jobs and a loss of an ability to respond to the covid-19 pandemic that exists in the neig

mr. cleaver, you are now recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madame chair. i'm so glad you have mayor anthony with us today. we were mayors back in the day, he started a little earlier. he was mayor i think in his 20s. but i'd like to talk to him. mayor anthony, we have a problem in congress that you can recognize perhaps better than most. and that is that the federal stvernment leans towards governors because most of the people who come from other divisions come from state legislatures, state senators ans there are only a few of us who were mayors so we tend to do dumb things like, you know, the first c.a.r.e.s. act only wanteo to give direct grants to 500,00 population -- cities populated over 500,000. we did fix that however. but the other thing it might be important for people to remember that 27 states in our union that don't have any cities over 500,000. but the one thing i want to find out the from you, mr. mayor is , you know, seems to be this resistance, particularly on the republican side of giving money to cities and states in our package. what --
