mr. kelly for being your, scott kirby, ceo of united, and mr. lofter -- is that right? -- representing delta, and ms. nelson representing flight attendants. and we have someone from british columbia remotely, pacific northwest, mr. -- sorry, sir? mr. tripp -- let's see -- t rethewe? thank you. you will be leading us off after i make a few comments. we appreciate you and your company in analyzing transportation. the media question today is whether the payroll program for the airlines worked, as we will your from our panelists today, economists, union presidents, and airline presidents, the answer is yes. the payroll support program was a historic investment to sustain a critical sector of the economy. aviation is more than 5% of our gdp and contributes one point $8 trillion in economic activity. by internally -- by ensuring airlines have funding to continue, the program saved jobs and livelihoods. i'm sure that is the story we are going to hear. specifically, though, the relief saved 386,200 dir

thank you very much, mr. kelly, for being with us. our present moon gen one j in had previously ruled out a pardon for parker and hey, what made him change his mind? you think why as this come now? i think it's really her advancing age and her her health issues. she had both physical and mental health issues. since impeachment, i mean, she's pretty clearly not going to have any kind of meaningful political role in korean life or she's allowed to go home. it's appears going to happen. i think she's now on her seventy's and she's really struggle and she's been in prison. she just had surgery in her shoulder. and right now was cold in the rest of it. right. because also because she's older, she's just not really going to play. and he had a meaningful role, she won't be a disruptive force or going sort of challenge or, and peach or something like that. so i think this is something of a sort of humanitarian gesture. i think it's probably a good idea. it's probably okay. there were huge mass protest calling for park to, to step down in the

mr. kelly: mr. president i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to executive session and consider the following nomination, executive calendar number 476, david a. honey, of virginia, to be deputy under secretary of defense, that the nomination be confirmed, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate, that no further motions be in order to the nomination, that the president be immediately notified of the senate's action and that the senate resumes legislative session. the presiding officer: is there objection? a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from missouri. mr. hawley: mr. president, i object and i submit a statement for the record. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. kelly: mr. president. the presiding officer: the -- the senator from arizona. mr. kelly: mr. president, the deputy under secretary of defense for research and engineering is a critical position that helps lead and manage our mi

[end video clip] host: just as the hearing ended, the person you just stop speaking, the southwest ceo, gary kelly, tested positive for covid the next day after he made this appearance on capitol hill, as he talked about whether masks should or should not be allowed on airlines. by the way, that hearing was massless inside -- maskless inside the building. let's start with laura, calling from massachusetts. good morn

mr. bolten: general kelly attended. reince said he could originally make it, but then discovered a conflict. tara: i know we have been talking about ron a lot, but he is the current chief of staff. if you could grade him, what would you give him? mr. bolten: you have to give him an incomplete. in fact, the only person who ought to be graded on the chief of staff -- let me modify that. the first person who ought to be graded on the chief of staff is the president. the chief of staff's job is to make the president as effective as he possibly can be. make him the best version of that president. so, the real grading comes on not as ron klain, are his tweets popular, is he moving the needle in the political argument, but is he making biden as successful as he possibly can be? the other people grading it are the people who have access to the president, voices he should hear, and are they saying he has run a fair process and everyone had a good shot at the president to hear the best advice and make sure that the president inte

mr. kelly, i come to you for your five minutes. >> thank you, chairman raskin, and the ranking member. due process is central to our justice system. the current process of civil forfeiture violates this right and disproportionately affects people of color. a policy meant to target drug kingpins and criminal organizations has instead been used by police department as an extra revenue stream, targeting people on their way to buy a car . it is unacceptable. congress passed the civil asset forfeiture reform act with the intent of implement in due process protections for people facing forfeitures. unfortunately, over the last 20 years, civil asset forfeiture regimes have proved the act has not worked. as i mentioned, the act was intended to provide due process protections for people facing civil asset forfeiture's, but those -- asset forfeitures, but those protections have not worked in a meaningful way. >> sure, well, i think it is helpful to compare civil forfeiture to criminal forfeiture and what

mr. bocofsky, what are the seven states doing to prepare for this? >> so, senator kelly, that outcome that you described in terms of relatively average snow-pack but very small run-off is something of huge concern to us moving forward. the seven basin states have been meeting since about june and have a series of meetings scheduled between now and the end of the year. one of the things we are talking about is what we expect the future flow of the river to be, we've seen reductions in flow over the last 30 years and need to come to some level of understanding and planning on what to count on into the future and rachet down our action items and water use to match what we think the river is going to be. within the lower basin, again, i mentioned a consultation provision, we have also been meaning other ways to protect lake meade, again, talking about additional conservation efforts and perhaps additional cuts if it comes to that to help protect the declining levels of lake meade. so i think we will continue to work on that from now to the end of the year, try to put a progr

mr. kelly: i ask unanimous consent to suspend the quorum caution.he presiding officer: without objection. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the motion to invoke cloture. the clerk: cloture motion, we, the undersigned senators in accordance with the provisions of rule 22 of the standing rules of the senate do hereby move to bring to a close debate -- on the motion to concur on the house amendment to s. 610, an act to address behavioral, health and well-being among health care professionals signed by 17 senators. the presiding officer: by unanimous consent, the mandatory quorum call has been waived. the question is, is it the sense of the senate that debate on the motion to concur in the house amendment to s. 610, an act to address behavioral, health, and well-being among health care professionals shall be brought to a close. the yeas and nays are mandatory under the rule. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: vote: vote: the presiding officer: on this vote, the yeas are 64, the nays are 36. three-fifths of the senators duly chosen and

mr. kelly: i thank the gentlelady from florida. madam speaker, we stand on the doorstep of delivering historic pro life protections for unbrn babies. today the supreme court heard oral arguments in the dobbs vs. women's -- excuse me, dobbs vs. jackson women's health organization. the case will decide the constitutionality of a mississippi law that supports life by banning aabortion that takes place more than 15 weeks after conception. s any hope that the supreme court will uphold the -- excuse me the constitutionality of this law which will set the stage for roe v. wade to be overturned. ushering in a new era where life is valued and protected. nothing is more important than life. if we are not going to stand and protect life we will stand and protect nothing. and if my time in congress is remembered for one thing, let it be that i fought to defend the sanctity of life. that is why i wear these precious feet on my collar, the exact size and shape of a baby's feet 10 weeks after conception. i will always support life. thank you and

mr. gimenez, for questioning. >> thank you, madam chairwoman. doctor kelly, what percentage of tsos in the force have not been fully vaccinated, do you know that? >> i don't know for certain. now, i do know there is a report from the management that said there is about 6% that have been confirmed to be vaccinated, but i don't have those numbers personally. >> did you say 6% or 60%? >> 60%. >> 6-0, so up to 40% of tsa workers could be maybe are not vaccinated at this time? >> again, that -- from mid-october, it's likely considering higher now. and we're aware that a number of tsos have sought medical or religious exemptions from getting the vaccine. tsa issued guidance for seeking exemptions on friday, just before the monday deadline to get the vaccine. this process should be fair, and it should be timely, but those seeking the exemptions need to be fully considered. that's my thoughts on that. >> since the beginning of the pandemic, tsos, tsas, the tsa has been working at airports. do you think that they have been put at risk? they have been working under un

mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator kelly. >> thank you, mr. chairman and thank you for holding this hearing on enhancing opportunities for out door recreation, and what you introduced with chairmanchin that would help arizona communities and businesses that depend on our national parks. the bill would direct the national park service to keep roads, overlooks and others open during shoulder seasons. on the south rim of the grand canyon at grand canyon national park our shoulder seasons are typically mid march and late november and for the north rim, it's mid october and mid may and these are the months when park operations wind down or close for the winter, but as any arizonian will tell you, the older season's often considered the best time of the year to visit the grand canyon, it's often when i go down to the bottom. it's spectacular coming down south trail, bright angel trial -- trail in november. so, would you agree that reopening or extended park arpgss for an extra week or two would have a big impact on jobs and local tax revenue? >> yes

mr. buschatzke, please proceed with your testimony. >> thank you, senator kelly, and good afternoon, chairman kelly, ranking member hyde-smith and members of the subcommittee. i'm tom buschatzke, director of the arizona department of water resources. thank you for providing me an opportunity to testify on the behalf of the state of arizona. i have submitted written testimony for the record, and my comments today will highlight two key elements of that testimony. it would hear drought, climate change has had devastating impacts on the flow of the colorado river, and on the contents of lakes meet and powell. he declared shortage in 2022 will result in arizona losing 512,000 [inaudible] of water or 18% of its total colorado river entitlement. impact to agriculture, tribes and municipal water uses will result in intense it once effort resulted in arizona is coming together to provide financial resources and wet water to partially mitigate those impacts. in 2020, three projections of lake mead elevations are barely above the trigger for an additional 80,000 acre feet of [inaudible] customers on. t

kelly. mr. stimson? >> mr. chairman, ranking member, members of the committee. my name is charles stimson, senior -- i'm testifying ma'am behalf, not that of the heritage foundation, navy or department of defense or any other organization. my views to reflect my 29 years in uniform as defense counsel, prosecutor and military judge, assistant u.s. attorney and time at the pentagon as head of detainee policy during the bush administration. let me say what a privilege it is to be testifying. each of these panelists, i pulled in highest esteem, especially my friend john baker, who has given 32 years of distinguished service to this country and to his written testimony i would like to associate myself with. i would like to make five quick points. first, the united states remains in a state of armed conflict. as such, we are entitled under international law to detain an enemy for they did -- duration of hostility, including the terrorists currently at quintana mouth -- guantanamo bay. this is the first where we've let the enemy go during the war. because of the hard w

i want to bring in michael memoli at the white house, kelly cobiella in london. mr. memoli, to you first. the administration's game plan, if this siege is worse than expected or drags out longer, i mean, just saying, we're going to send 500 million tests, that's honestly not enough. >> yeah, stephanie, i think one of the lessons we're learning here, the white house mantra, we follow the science, well, sometimes the science takes time. getting the data that experts need to make clear recommendations takes time. think about this, we learned about the omicron variant just around thanksgiving. it was a week later that the president announced his initial plan for dealing with a winter surge of covid, which was primarily aimed at the delta variant at the time. now it's been another three weeks and the clear need at this point was testing, which is why the president announced his strategy, which was focused heavily on making more testing sites available and making these take-home testing kits available, but not for a number of weeks. that was a question that the president w

mr. chu has our markets. >> yes, the markets right now, kelly, are in the green. much more so than we've seen as of late. the dow industrials up 700 points we're up roughly 62 points for the s&p 500. that represents session highs right now. we'll call it 63 points, up two is the lows of the session predominantly higher for the subs& 500. we'll talk a little bit more about what is driving the nasdaq composite action bitcoin, specifically, the reason why, it's a very modest move 48,955 the reason why it's important, because depending on which measure you look at for bitcoin, it's traded on a number of different exchanges. the level you want to watch is $48,800. that represents a big moving average that we might be trying to bounce off of right here. keep eye on bitcoin prices is it a risk asset a haven asset? we'll find out if we see more of a risk trade happening in the markets overall. speaking of, what we are seeing is an economically sensitive-driven market right now. the top-performing stocks within the s&p 500 include travel and leisure names, 10% gains for los angeles sands. advanced micro and annvi

kelly for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair, and thank you all for testifying today and for your patience. you said the dominant model of social media for making money is advertising. i was concerned about the tiktoks at the start of the school year encouraging students to destroy school property. can you explain how a model that prioritizes advertising revenue leads to social media and other platforms to promote more harmful information? >> thank you. the advertising model essentially means we are not asking people to pay for a product. that is to say people think they are getting something for free. the only way for it to be profitable is for them to be able to sell you more and more ads that are more and more targeted. what that sets up in terms of the incentive structure for these companies is to maximize engagement. that means the more people who choose to live on these platforms, to become addicted to these products, and we want to learn as much about them as we can. so that is what it is being allowed to unfold soc
