mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator marshall? >> thank you, mr. chairman. good to be here today. thanks to all the witnesses. i want to focus on the financial aspect of this just for a second. i feel like i'm here with the weight of 3 million waking up to utility bills which are just through the roof. i feel like i have the weight of a hundred different municipalities who are buying natural gas on the spot market. municipalities who in three days' time spent more than they were planning on spending in the next five years. and the questions i'm going to ask you are questions i've been asked dozens of times that i don't have an answer yet. so please don't take them personally. but somehow i got to get answers to figuring out what happened financially. certainly we saw in the spot market the rates went up at least multiple of ten, sometimes more than that. i understand what happened to the supply. i understand that the wind turbines froze, natural gas plants were affected. some of the coal was frozen together by snow, and all those things happening. but one thing that's been pointed

marshall: mr. kelley, do you have any concerns that that is in violation of the hyde amendment? mr. kelley: i apologize, i'm not as familiar -- i am generally aware of the hyde amendment but i'm not aware in loan instances how it would apply. i am happy to get back to the committee about that one when i am better educated on that. sen. marshall: i will circle back with mr. ware and the affiliation issue with land parenthood to make sure i understand where you're coming from -- with planned parenthood to make sure i understand where you are coming from. planned parenthood of america provides oversight and all affiliates work under them with 16,000 employees. do you have concern that they purposely and fraudulently broke the rules of this program? i know our banks work so hard that this would seem like a gray line at best. i'm surprised they found there to do this. i feel like planned parenthood has thumbed their nose at us again. do you have any concerns about this affiliation breach by planned pare

mr. marshall said, senator marshall said, about people in alabama can't understand why we are letting people in when we know some of the people have coronavirus, and we are a loving country and we love everybody and we put our lives and our country on the line and businesses and everything else on the line for the last year and for some reason the white house continues to let people in with this virus, and it's just mind-boggling to us that pay taxes -- everybody that pays taxes that we'll help them, but this is not the time. this is not the time to do it. i think it's your -- you guys' job to go up and there say, listen, what are we doing? we can't do this anymore. we have to get people back to work and kids back to school and back to church and a normal life. we have a double standard right here that just amazes me. again, i don't have any questions. thank you for what you are doing. we're looking up to y'all and tell us what to do. please, tell us what to do and how to get through this because we have a lot of people in trouble, mentally in trouble, not just physically, but mentally. than

mr. marshall, senator marshall. >> thank you and i'm glad you saved the best for last. i would remind the chairman, i am grateful for the comments about the nuclear option being you somewhere other than in the senate floor. it was exciting to hear him mention other types of color options congratulations and welcome. i want to start my remarks by saying we share so many goals. my goal is i would leave this world cleaner, healthier. safer than it is today. let's keep going the same direction. i have a responsibility as a senator, a grandfather, a father, to what the cost of energy is as well as the importance of energy independence. your goal and michael is how do we balance those? i am going to start asking for some simple advice. my state, kansas, hit with 11 days of temperatures below zero, and like many states suffered, the state of kansas, and i'm very proud of this, 40% of electricity is generated from wind. about a 30 generated from coal. 18% for nuclear and whatever else is left. we heat our homes with a lot of natural gas. without the coal plants in kansas, whate

mr. marshal's life and work at the legal defense fund. in recent years, ms. gupta has been president and ceo of the leadership of the conference of human rights. it is sad and pitiful that this exceptional nominee has been targeted by a right-wing, dark money organization which is running television ads that make blatantly false claims. i can't say it any better than "the washington post," which called the ads they are running against her a baseless smear campaign which is categorically dishonest and mainly notable for the magnitude of lies and distortions it crams into 30 seconds. this ad claims ms. gupta supports defunding the police, but as "the washington post" wrote, there is zero proof of that, including in the ad's footnoted notation. i am disappointed that some of my senate colleagues are repeating the claims in this ad. it is the height of irony anyone would criticize this well-qualified justice department veteran after we set silently by while there was no senate confirmed associate attorney general for nearly three years during the trumpet astray s

mr. justice marshall, and that sounded perfectly fine to him. >> four years after his groundbreaking admission into the segregated university of mississippi, james meredith marked a moment of transition in the civil rights movement. in his book "down to the crossroads," the author explains what happened in the marks that began in memphis in june 1966. >> the meredith march against fear is the last great march of the civil rights movement, the last time you see major civil rights organizations come together for a common endeavor. it becomes a lobbying tool for political change. in that way, it is the end of an era we can trace with birmingham, selma, the march on washington and other iconic events of the civil rights era. the march against fear is also a beginning. it introduces the slogan of black power. it ignites controversy in the national media over that slogan. but it also becomes a tool for african-americans. these simple words come to mean so much in terms of black consciousness, black history, black beauty, black political organizing that it became part of the fabric of african-america
