okay, thank you so much mr. like thank you so much for that's a so there you have it to me. absolutely. at a place like this remains on high alert because it appears that while there isn't any looting, there are people trying to penetrate this more make way. and of course, the masses when they see an opportunity to come and take, will probably do that. so there is a, a big contingency here. now we see police and soldiers assisting people like plants and ordinary members of the community. well armed by the way, who said that they're not going to allow this more to be taken down d w as christina would be there. and so we're to thank you so much for your reporting. now lebanon's, a prime minister designate has announced that he stepping down after failing to form a coalition government. the decision threatened to think lebanon deeper into crisis . the country remains without a government for nearly a year. the last one was forced to resign after the deadly explosion that they would port. political squabbling, has repeatedly stymied efforts to form a government and sent the curre

so i assume the solution you forward from doesn't do not need to know ship democrats to kill just mr. like you, she'll, she'll took me the football newish initially to go to the national committee, especially going back and tells me to go to go. she knew lenders who still converting machine learning when will tackle deal is going to show you the volume. and so for coming up in the literate, his lawyer, those a little bit for that, i wanna see your friend is on the commission though mobile so much do the same issue, move good, still use merch. i'm going to use so many. augusta, you know, look, ah, join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. in the moon. be most loyal another we took from us, hold any spoken vh one. let's do that. i mean who go from other we did we did it just below it is you haven't missed it. only pity of that. the little boy easily got something most a music before i'm leaving the gym so i want to keep it, you know, really a little new getting another video with

mr. speaker, then that is -- [inaudible] but i'd like to hear him clarify that. >> mr. starmer. >> he agrees it's common sense because it protects the public, but he won't make it mandatory. it's ridiculous. it's clear what this is all about. he's lost the health secretary, and he's getting flak from his own ft, so he's doing what he always does, crashing over to the other side of the aisle, chasing headlines and coming out with a plan that hasn't been thought through. we all want restrictions lifted. we want to get back to normal. but we've been here too many times before. isn't it the case that once again instead of a careful, controlled approach, we're heading for a somewhere of chaos and confusion? >> prime minister. [laughter] >> no, mr. speaker, the answer -- [inaudible] and, of course, these need to be taken in a balanced way, and that's what we're doing, and throughout the pandemic we do all these things, frankly, mr. speaker, takes a great deal of drive and a great deal of leadership to get things done. and if we followed his advice, mr. speaker, if if we follo

what can happen to a person who was lined up like mr. williams? i am shocked that you can't get a reason why you are being arrested. i thought you were entitled to that. but they used facial recognition. it didn't look like him when they put the picture up to him. so how is that undermining of civil rights and civil liberties in this country, if used as it was used with mr. williams? >> madam chair, yes, i think there is a broader context of policing we must keep in mind that is especially instructive in talking about the case of mr. williams, but also why many in the leadership congress in this -- leadership conference in this coalition support a ban moratorium. we can't separate the tools from the context of the american policing system. we have evidence of that system over decades, centuries, of how black bodies and disproportionately black people are treated within the criminal legal justice system. we can't separate those tools. if you add the history of that criminal legal system to a tool known in the best of conditions biased against black

i was like, what are you all doing? he was let come are mr. williams? -- he was like, are you mr. williams? you are under arrest. i was like, for what? he was like, i can't tell you. you can't to me what i am under arrest for, but -- it took me immediately down to my detention center and i got fingerprinted and mug shotted right then and there. my fingerprints, i thought, would be clear, and i would be out. but that didn't mean anything. my fingerprints went in, so what? now they have a mug shot to add to it. it was so backwards, if that makes sense. i just feel like i am a regular. i feel like i knew the law. and i was wrong. >> mr. williams, i would just simply say you are speaking justice -- seeking justice. and you deserve it, you really do. the families who have been fighting these issues are dealing with the criminal justice system. having listened to mr. williams, i know the position of the moratorium, but just, if you would, end us on the enormity of the problem, if we were to have facial recognition used randomly in this massive entity of 18,000 police departments. what ca

mr. marsalis: they didn't like the music. it doesn't matter.he constitution was not written with the rights of afro-americans in native americans in line. the constitution can be amended and it has been amended. ♪ david: why is it so hard for some people to understand? you have written a book about it and you make it sound like it is a religious experience to play jazz and understand as -- jazz. it is important to be an individual and play with the team. can you explain why jazz is like a religion to people care about it? mr. marsalis: it is a national arts form. it objectified principles and if a group of people are blessed to handle it, which you can have a civilization and a society, you may never create an art form that does that. america was blessed with a group of musicians and a social condition that it produced. music had three fundamental elements. improvisation, which is our individuality. we believe we have rights and freedoms and thinks about the under visual. swing is about nurturing common ground, finding balance with other people

i'd now like to welcome the distinguished ranking member, the gentleman from indiana, mr. baird, for any opening remarks he would like to give. mr. baird: good morning. thank you, chairman plaskett, for calling this hearing today. i'm excited for our subcommittee to come together for the first official hearing of this congress. and chair plaskett, i look forward to developing a fruitful relationship with you as we serve this subcommittee on the develop important role its jirks diction, especially in the areas of biotechnology, research, and extension plays in the current landscape of the american farm economy. particularly in regard to the sustainability of the industry, the profitability of our producers, and the stability of our national food supply. to the members of this subcommittee, i thank you for committeing to serve on this panel. i value your leadership and expertise and look forward to serving alongside each of you. i find today's topic to be of particular importance. we are nearing the end of an indiscriminate pandemic that impacted every corner of our lives. th

i would like to say i agree with mr. wolf. i have a comment. i would like to say donald trump started out his presidency saying mexico would pay for the wall. he was wrong about that. and so then he said he's going to tax mexican products and he was wrong about that. so he switched to healthcare and said he would repeal or replace obamacare. and he was wrong and wrong about that. then he said he would balance the budget. and possibly pay it off, seriously wrong again. he said he would fix the trade deficit it is greater than ever and he was wrong about that. he said it would go away cinnabon was born in africa he said obama did not have a birth certificate everything a guy has ever said was wrong. each sanctions, the trade were, is wrong. thank you. >> i growth everything the caller has pointed out. but i think you have to understand the greater context here. the president is always just talking. the president will say anything. in a way i am tempted to say you can't really hold the president accountable for the wrong things he says because he s

mr. tiffin, i'd like to bring you in. if we were to extrapolate this out for a global audience, what are some of the biggest nitrogen pollutants globally? what moves the being taken globally to try and reduce nitrogen pollution at how much that impacts food chains and food security? well, this is the biggest police just as far as national concerned china and india we, we know that some of those, some of those countries are, are intervening to encourage better management upset of crops and stop to, to make sure that nitrogen has been used more efficiently. the consequences for type of food security aside says, you know, potentially serious we've got, we have got a population on the planet, is that he's growing massively at the moment. large parts of the world, eating plant based diets. it's probable that as it comes increasingly saying this in, in china, india, that those parts of the world will probably increase their demand for making dairy products. and what's that gonna be for our planet, for the health of our planet?

i would like the idea of a bipartisan infrastructure bill. reporter: there is one. mr. mccarthy: they don't -- they can't vote on it yet because they don't have one. a trillion dollars is a lot of money but i would like to see the details. but the concept of putting one together, i would like to do that. yes, ma'am. [indiscernible question] mr. mccarthy: our main focus is making sure we stop the run-away inflation. the idea of securing our borders and making sure the crime that is rising in california and throughout the entire nation because of defunding the police, that we stop all that. from the standpoint that others could be busy on other things, that is a conference decision. yes, ma'am. [indiscernible question] mr. mccarthy: i don't understand how i have shifted my tone -- >> more republicans coming out advocating for a vaccine. mr. mccarthy: i disagree with the nature because i don't think we shifted in our tone. the republican advocated for operation warp speed. we funded it. when i sat back and watched the then-senator of california criticized and questioned whe

mr. casten: i yield back. ms. sherrill: thank you. next, i'd like to recognize mr. crist for five minutes. mr. crist: thank you very much, madam chair. thanks to all the witnesses for being with us today. in cities across the country, the summer of 2021 is off to the hottest start on record. dangerously high temperatures have hammered the west, worsening existing drought and wildlife conditions and leading to nearly 200 heat-related deaths. in my home state of florida, our sunshine may bring welcome warmth in the winter but it can be pretty darn hot in the summer. the heat index in miami reached 108 degrees. prompting the national weather service to issue a hazardous weather outlook. in a recent study from the university of florida found that heat-related deaths occur year-round in florida. this national problem requires a national response. that's why i'm working with our colleague in the senate, senator markey of massachusetts, to introduce the preventing heat illness and deaths act. this bill would formalize and expand the national integrated heat health information system as well as establ

i would like to say i agree with mr. wolf. i have a comment. uld like to say donald trump started out his presidency saying mexico would pay for the wall. he was wrong about that. and so then he said he's going to tax mexican products and he was wrong about that. so he switched to healthcare and said he would repeal or replace obamacare. and he was wrong and wrong about that. then he said he would balance the budget. and possibly pay it off, seriously wrong again. he said he would fix the trade deficit it is greater than ever and he was wrong about that. he said it would go away cinnabon was born in africa he said obama did not have a birth certificate everything a guy has ever said was wrong. each sanctions, the trade were, is wrong. thank you. >> i growth everything the caller has pointed out. but i think you have to understand the greater context here. the president is always just talking. the president will say anything. in a way i am tempted to say you can't really hold the president accountable for the wrong things he says because he says

mr. lauder: [laughter] i wish the people at harvard would know i would like to thank them -- send them a k you note. david: you go into the u.s. navy. were there a lot of, you know, young jewish boys from the university of pennsylvania? mr. lauder: when i went into the navy, my father said there are new jews in the navy. i said, ok. i know that. that was good. that was the way the united states was. the jews were in the minority. everyone was a minority then but it was fascinating because i grew up in my view at the right time to grow up and learn. if you grow up in prosperity, you do not understand how to fight hard. i had to fight hard. david: one of your activities as running the commissary of the ship you are on. how did you manage to make that a profitable business and you realize you are a good businessperson as a result of making the commissary so profitable? mr. lauder: i began as a six star officer aboard an aircraft carrier. we had 2000 men aboard. i had to get everything they needed and then some. i started to buy perfume to send out as gifts to their girlfriends, etc.. i broug

caller: yes, i would like to say that i agree with mr. wolff, and i have a comment. i would like to say that donald trump started out his presidency saying that mexico would pay for the wall, and he was wrong about that. so then he said he was going to just tax mexican products, and he was wrong about that. so he switched to health care and said he would repeal and replace obamacare. and he was wrong, and wrong about that. then he said he would found -- that he would possibly pay it off -- seriously wrong again. he said he would flip the trade deficit. and he was wrong about that. he said the virus was a hoax. wrong again. he said it would go away. he said obama was born in africa. he said obama didn't have a birth certificate. everything the guy has ever said was wrong. the sanctions, the trade war is wrong. thank you. host: ok, jim. michael wolff, any response? guest: well, i agree with everything the caller has pointed out, but i think you have to understand a greater context here come which is that the president is always just talking. the president will say anyth

mr. mccarthy like mr. mcconnell has lost all credibility. both spoken out of both sides of their mouths. more important than their fake words and whining and complaining like school children is their actions. you set it up exactly right. six months ago, look at that video, it's disturbing to me every time i see any portion of it. difference -- disrespect for the capitol police, would have thought we have to get to bottom of this, fully understand the thoughts and circumstances that led to insurrection where people died, where capitol police saved their very live, my very life, journalist and staff lives, so mr. mccarthy has no credibility. i have no doubt that mr. thompson will do the work that needs to be done. too bad it's not independent commission. still have the opportunity to do that if the leaders stand up and lead. but in the meantime we'll move forward with talented investigators and legislators who want to make sure this never happens again. >> and i can sort of see -- republicans very good at showmanship, not governing, their jobs,

mr. grothman: i'd like to have one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. grothman: as we head into the six or seven-week break, it's important to americans and congress not forget the number one crisis facing this nation and that is the takeover of our southern border by mexican drug gangs. right now, the drug gangs, because we are kind of tardy at guarding the border, escort people into mexico, escort people through buses and trains to the rio grande river, put wristbands around these people so they know which gang they are associated with and which type of tour they bought, have them carry drugs across the rio grande. if our border patrol tries to stop people crossing the river, they throw little children in the rio grande so border patrol has to go there. they eventually turn these people over to the border patrol on the southern border where they are turned over to nongovernmental organizations that put them in hotels. these hotels are not secure, so even if you

mr. joe, on like we have been russia. we have been on the, on the, on the border or russia directly or indirectly, like the multi countries for many, many decades. this is not an easy thing. what i'm saying that the booker, as decision on open doors, is that the say it was reconfigured our summit. and it's also up to us to reach consensus within the alliance. and also for we friends in ukraine. the continued up at the reform, you're not going to give them a firm answer, because what russia, d a d c. afraid of want to in time, we are working on open door policy. our foreign ministers will be meeting next december to to give additional support to our brand countries. they have to keep faith in their own decision to join the west. they have to continue to invest in reforms in ukraine, not for the sake of joining nato or the european union for that matter. but for the sake of you can people. and this is why i'm adamant against the idea that russia can have a veto. or we can accept ever in europe again, spheres of influence. a

mr. lajoye, i'd like to start with you. you could respond to that sort of briefly. i think you have to unmute. mr. ondocin, -- while were tryio connect you come we may have a problem connecting with you, too, mr. ondocin. i'm going to ask about the federal air marshals here. i do recognize that tsa employees -- employs a number of air marshals that the exact number is a sensitive security information issues that can't be discussed in this forum. but speaking generally given the recent increases and disturbances on flights, do you have a need for more air marshals? and is the current rate at which the fans that are on board and able to respond to these incidences sufficient? >> thank you. mr. lajoye, mr. ondocin could you just nod if you are hearing me? there's no connectivity. >> i hear you very well, madam chair, so it must be on very end. >> yeah, yeah. >> i hear you, madam chair. >> mr. gimenez and chairman thompson, we're going to take deposit and see if we can straighten this out. so we'll be in recess until you can connect again to our witnesses. let me gavel i

mr. bernal: you still have to qualify for the ballot. just because you get the application doesn't mean you get to vote by mail. >> what's the partisan? what act would happen that you don't like? mr. bernal: excuse me? >> what act would happen that is political that you oppose? mr. bernal: ok -- >> you give an answer and then we will go to mr. vesey. mr. bernal: can i respond? voting is a right and not a privilege. and if you limit the ability for people to access the ballot -- >> we are talking about partisan activity. >> i am going to cut it off. mr. vesey, who represents houston, i believe? >> it's north texas. >> north texas. has been with us today. you are recognized for your five minutes of questioning. >> mr. chairman, thank you for much. i am not on the committee. i appreciate the chairman allowing me the opportunity. i represent fort worth and dallas. nicole collier, she is my neighbor, and my state representative and i appreciate her presence here today. i just want to really think my colleagues -- thank my colleagues and my friends, current state legislators, for really being courageous to take the time to be here. i know all of you are from different districts and

likely to happen. thank you. >> okay, thank you. senator lee. >> sure. >> mr. crawford, how would you respond to critics who might say in response to your point that a company like facebook can end up starting to resemble a rival government? how would you respond to those who would say, yeah, but facebook can't, unlike the government, it can't force you to do something at the point of a gun? >> right, there's no coercion. there are no thumb screws applied at any point. but it becomes a matter of every aspect of life being ordered by a handful of firms. as you know, these firms are now, their market caps are in the trillions and at some point, the concept of government, i think, has to be extended beyond these halls to entities that have such far-reaching control and sort of penetration into our lives. >> you might say that that's a sort of response you'd expect in a stockholm syndrome sort of situation. [laughter] >> is that your point? that it's the fact that they're not behaving as a government, the fact they're not literally requiring you to do it at the poin

mr. sessions: thank you very much, chairman. i'd like to engage, perhaps mr. bernal, or mrs. perales, please. are ballots in texas in the language that a person would need them to have? in other words, english, spanish, chinese, are they available? mr. bernal: yes, sir. mr. sessions: they're available in the language of people. that's not backwards. that's pretty important. i'd like to ask you, mrs. perales, you said that texas really had been held in discrimination since -- for a number of years and implied that texas was discriminatory in their practices. but isn't it true that preclearance was required and certainly the clinton and obama department of justice scrutiny of the bills that every time would relate to the laws and the redistricting of texas would be reviewed by preclearance of democrat and republican department of justices? ms. perales: well, representative, i am not what you're asking. it depended on what president was in office at the time. but certainly doesn't subtract from the fact that when we brought these claims in federal court -- and both of the cases

mr. johnson likes to refer to this as a victory and he claimed it as one. but this is a real source of friction between britain and the eu, of course. guest: and it is a real problem. i just traveled to belfast and spoke to people there. it's a problem because northern ireland is part of the united kingdom it economically remains aligned to the european union and many people really object because they feel they are being treated differently than the rest of the u.k., so they don't want it and we can feel the tensions in northern ireland. however, this is a topic where angela merkel signaled this is where bilateral relations have their limits because she said we need to not overstretch ourselves when it comes to northern ireland. she urge for a pragmatic solution but also signaled this is where the u.k. and boris johnson really need russell and need to work on their relationship with brussels and make a sensible one and work on really tricky problems like the northern ireland issue and brags it. michael: and what is a trip to the u.k. without having tea with

the government is trying its best, the cure, more jobs overseas, so that people like mr. chen no longer need to worry that they and their families could get infected. amanda closer it is, an epidemiologist at the university of taco, wellington, what went wrong in taiwan in your opinion? it's been very hard watching time long struggled to contain this very large upright . someone has done so well. photon in the pandemic, haven't strong, have to come in destruction and the public response connections. in this break, it's been interesting to see how different ones response has been compared to museums in museums. when we have breaks, we react very swiftly and decisively to extinguish them straight away. and sometimes that means going straight into the short sharp lock them on the other hand, has avoided using lockdown as a response. and that may have kept the break going a little longer than if needed. and a matter of what i find striking when we look at the numbers is that outbreak. you mentioned in taiwan, in comparison to new zealand numbers, the spike is really sudden and then tie one

mr. chairman. i would like to associate myself with the comments from mcclintock andor miss lofgren tt any p protections that we provi shouldn'tti be for a special privileged group of people. i mean, that's not the way the constitution was written. miss hoverlander referred to th press as the fourth estate which prompted me to look up what are the other three estates, and it's a reference, actually not to the threen branches of government, but to the n three estates in europe which were the clergy, thee nobility and the commoners, and i think all of them, including the fourth estate, deserve thee protection of the fourth amendment, so whatever we draft i hope it's not just particularly for congress orch for the media. professor turley, you -- you touchede on something that -- and i didn't goat spend enough time onity think about the third-party doctrine. can you explain to us in a little more detail how that came about and what we can do in congressra to sort of rein that backre in? >> quite e frankly i think t

likely to happen. thank you. >> thank you. senator lee. mr. ford in response to your point that a company like facebook can end up starting to resemble a rival of government how would you respond to those who would say that facebook can't unlike the government it can't force you to do something at the point of a gun? >> there is no coercion. there are no thumbscrews applied at any point. but it becomes a matter of every aspect of life being ordered by a handful of firms and as you know they are now in the trillions and at some point it has to be extended beyond these holes to entities that have far-reaching control and a sort sort ofpenetration into our liv. >> you might say that is a sort of response that you would expect in a stockholm syndrome situation is that your point to the fact that they are not behaving as a government and requiring you to do it doesn't mean that there are not things happening. >> with technology we often say that it's all optional but there's a sort of tipping of the society into dependence on certain things certainl

mr. chairman, i'd like to associate myself with the comments from mr.lintock and miss lofgren, that any protectionss that we provided shouldn't be for a special privileged group of people. way the t the constitution was written. ms. oberlander referred to the press as the fourth estate which prompted mee to look up what ar the other three estates. and it'ss a reference actually not to the three branches of government. but to the three estates in europe, which were the clergy, the nobility and the commoners. and t i think all of them including thet fourth estate deserve the protection of the fourth amendment. whatever we draft, i hope it's not just particularly for congress or o for the media. professor turley, you touched on something that earlier -- but to spend enough time on it i think about the third party doctrine. can you explain to us in a little more detail how that came about, and what we could do in congressha to sort of rein that backes in? >>a. quite frankly the supreme court i think the supreme court has made anju utter mess of thi area. i
