foster, mrs. foster loving person, a loving husband, father, son, brother. he was a very active in the community. he was a very successful businessman. he was an intelligent guy who had ambition. he lived a very happy, happy life. we raised a beautiful son. he was well educated. he had good entrepreneurship. he was just someone that was like the life of every party. so glen was a loving person. everyone loved glen. when he stepped into a party, they knew glen was going to be just the life of the party. in a good way. >> mr. foster, tell us about the days leading up to his arrest. do you believe your son may have been suffering from a mental health episode? please talk to me about that. >> i can say, don, glen's behavior was a little different than what we usually had with him. we were concerned. and we, believe it or not, when he was caught by the police, i thought to myself in my mind that he's in one place now we can arrange to get him some help. and we were having a positive experience with chief blac

mr. foster: looks like my time has expired. i yield back. chair stevens: with that we are going to go to dr. baird for five minutes of questioning. mr. baird: thank you, chairwoman stevens and ranking member waltz. and also the committee ranking member lucas. i always appreciate all the witnesses taking time to be with us and sharing their expertise and knowledge and background. it helps us make a better decision as we discuss legislation. my first question really goes to all the witnesses. the natural hazardous engineering research infrastructure has been rewarded $5 million in funding by the n.s.f. through 2025. its network coordinating office is physically located at purdue university, my alma mater, the administration's headquarters for the program's nationwide network of 11 research facilities. what i'd like to know is, can each of you speak to the importance of having an integrated approach to these natural disaster research? and then how we might help or what congress might do regarding these hazard specific programs and how we can bet

mr. foster's bill that you support simply eliminating the debt ceiling so that we do not have to deal this in the future and focus on real crisis. >> yes i would because i believe when congress legislates expenditures and put simply tax policy and determines taxes and the crucial decisions that congress is making. finance the spending and tax decisions it is necessary to issue additional debt. i believe it is very destructive to put the president and myself and the treasury secretary in the situation wherere we might be unable to pay the bills that result from those past decisions. >> every day your response to the secretary's reasoning for supporting and ending that legislation and ending the debt limit. >> far be it for me too contradict and she is right. that you would get rid of it in congress would do its job of deciding. and they do decide congress does decide the budget process how big the budget will be and how it will be sliced up for those activities. so she is right about that. my point and i'm being dramatic little bit when i say don't think we should get rid of it is to say i

mr. foster for five minutes. >> thank you. am i audible and visible here, mr. chair? >> yes. >> thank you. dr. khan, we've heard a lot of speculations about how maybe we would be better off with a national response that focused on natural immunity rather than vaccination. and so if we had adopted that sort of approach which is pretty much what third world countries are forced to do because they don't have access to vaccines, if we had adopted that approach what would it have meant in terms of patient overflow in emergency rooms and icus? what would it have meant in terms of burnout of medical personnel? >> thank you, representative foster. we did adopt this strategy the great barrington death declaration of natural immunity. there is a reason in the english language we say avoid it like the plague because in no other plague have we ever said let's go out and get infected. yeah. so the trouble with natural immunity is you have to get infected to get natural immunity which makes you either dead or have long covid or other complications and oefrms the health care system.

mr. foster into others regarding identity. i want to try to understand, can you share why the transactions involving virtual assets and payments involving those wallets that are quite similar to western union transmissions or money grams, why you objected to what looks like a fairly similar regulatory approach? >> mr. allaire, if you might take a crack at. >> thank you for the question. it's a very important question. first i would simply start by saying i think fincen is an excellent job at looking at the issues a money laundering, terrorist financing in the context of virtual assets, virtual currencies. they led the way as the first federal regulators to put in place rules around that back in 2013. tablet from select friends like circle, columbus and others here to put in place licensing supervision around tank secrecy act, anti-money laundering provisions and the like. i think the specific issue at hand which you are correct we had some significant objections to was really twofold. one was it was an introduction of an 11th

mr. foster to end the default act and take that from congress because congress has proven we cannot be trustedith that responsibility. secretary yellen, would you support simply eliminating the debt ceiling so we don't have to deal with this and focus on real crises? >> yes i would because i believe when congress legislates the expenditures and puts in place text policy to determine taxes, those are the crucial decisions congress is making. if to finance the spending and tax decision it is necessary to issue additional debt, i believe it's very destructive to put the president and myself, the treasury secretary in a situation where we might be unable to pay the bills we sold from those past decisions. host: what is your response to the secretary's reasoning for herschel orting that legislation ending the debt limit? guest: far be it from me to contradict a smart -- a smart person but she is right. in an ideal world, you would get rid of it and congress -- they decide how big the budget will be. my point is to say i think the people were fighting over the debt limit would find a way to have the

foster stable prices and ensure sound currency. no one -- no one -- can seriously argue that the fed has accomplished this mission under mr. powell's leadership. after years of reckless policy and months of obfuscation, inflation now exceeds 6%, the highest rate of inflation in 30 years. the highest rate of inflation in 30 years. and inflationary economy rewards wealthy speculators. like, for instance, the federal government or giant corporations, but it ruins responsible citizens who are just trying to save for their retirements or maybe their kids' colleges. in the worst-case scenario, the value of the dollar can collapse endangering society itself. let catastrophic conditions, americans who have played by the rules for many years responsibly working and saving see the value of their money slowly erode over time. nearly half of all americans have no exposure whatsoever to the stock market. not a single stock or mutual fund or pension. no exposure to the stock market. their money is usually held in low-interest checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, even cash. so the fed's, extreme low-interest rate
