ms. lee: thank you, madam chair. i rise today as covid cases surge in my home state of nevada and across this country. in fact, in the past three days nevada has added over 2,000 new cases and our two week positivity rate has rapidly grown to more than 12%. hospitalizations are up, too, with a vast majority being among, you guessed it, the unvaccinated. unfortunately, just over half of nevadans are fully or partially vaccinated. we must all do our part to end this pandemic. and the best thing we can do to protect yourself, your family, the ones you care about most is to get vaccinated. and getting your vaccine is safe and now easier than ever. and believe it or not, back home in nevada comes with a chance to win at more than $5 million in prizes. that's how desperate we are to make sure that everyone is motivated to go get a vaccine. please go to vaccines.gov to find a clinic. for those that are already vaccinated, please take the time this week to reach out and encourage your piers -- peers to do their part, too. to

ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentleman from new york. i'm so glad you said the words by any means necessary. that's the striking and without a doubt approach of the activist supreme court, right wing, of the big lies. and of those who wish to stall and stop the very lifeline of american democracy. and that is the right to each person to vote their conscience. as we have said, our message, our power, but our voice, our vote, our vote, our voice. and i thank him for joining me this evening. for elaborating and detailing and roll calling where we are today. i notice the gentleman did not step in the breach and indicate that we might need to expand the court. that's another discussion altogether. but i'm delighted to have now the distinguished gentlelady from st. louis, missouri, a member of the judiciary committee, and i think she can speak in her own way on the vitality of a vote for poor people. i yield to congresswoman bush of missouri. ms. bush: thank you, madam chairwoman. and thank you, madam speaker, for this moment to be able to add

ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: ms. jackson lee is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentlelady from new york and thank her for her leadership on the cybersecurity committee. i thank the supporters of this legislation. i rise to support the state and local cybersecurity improvement act and emphasize the fact that we are the united states of america, but the cybersecurity attacks occurs in our neighborhoods, our hamlets, our cities, counties, states. they occur right under our nose. they occur by taking our constituents' personnel records from the texas medical center, for example. impacting the medical care of people. interfering with various diagnostic machines. dealing with the energy infrastructure, such as the colonial pipeline incident. these are happening in our neighborhoods. the state and local cybersecurity act will make $500 million available in grants from the department of homeland security to state, local, and tribal entities over the next four years as they address critical cybersecurity risks facing information systems. i'll soon

ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentlelady very much and i rise to add support for en bloc number three and these important amendments. let me emphasize my first amendment, really with a great deal of gratitude because this is so very important. human trafficking is a scourge on this nation. and it has no boundaries. it is both domestic and international. but one of the things that is needed is for those who have trafficked, when they are found, to be able to cooperate with law ep force. many of those women are not documented immigrant women so my amendment says none of the funds made available by this act for domestic food programs, food nutrition, food and nutrition service, supplemental nutrition assistant program, may be used in contravention of 107-b of the victims of trafficking act of 2000. the effect of this amendment will be to make clear that nothing restricts the authority of the secretary of agriculture from providing assistance and benefits to victims of trafficking under current

ms. jackson lee, for five minutes. ms. jackson lee: i thank the chair very much. and i thank the gentleman from indiana for his reminding us of the world civility day and its importance. i rise today in the spirit of civility and facts and bringing people together. first of all, we are all -- we are all saddened by the surge of crime across america. we are working with our communities and those who intervene and those who are responding to the issues of degradation and danger that permeates many of our communities and many of our young people. and i believe it is important to ensure that guns that are trafficked illegally, that the excessive amount of guns are taken off the street. soon in my community, we will hold a gun buyback with the houston police department, because they are working with the community. and so i think it's important to state the fact that the biden administration, president joe biden, and vice president kamala harris are strong advocates and have invested much to ensure that crime goes down. we know that it is a mixture of the toxicity of th

ms. jackson lee: and i ask to put in the article, u.n. chief: rights are needed. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. jackson lee: reparations are a universal concept of repair and human rights. this report, the u.n. high commission for human rights, this is big stuff. offers a sweeping look at the centuries of mistreatment faced by centuries of africans and people of african descent, notably from the trant -- trant atlantic slave trade. it seeks a transformative approach to address the continued impact today. in its report it says, i am calling on all states to stop denying and start dismantling racism, to end impunity -- impunity and build trust, to listen to the voices of people african descent and offer redress. this is what the report has said. united states. it goes -- united nations. it goes on to say, reparations should not only be equated to financial compensation. this is what i've been saying. i say that when i go on the floor and ask for my colleagues to support. it thank goodness almost 200 said, we understand it, we get it. i'm looking for

here's how ms. lee reacted to congress passing the bill. >> the bill is passed! >> woohoo! oh oh oh ooh! >> stephen: i'm calling it now: that is the song of the summer. ( laughter ) ( applause ) the bill got unanimous support in the senate, but in the house there were 14 no votes from republican members of congress. ( booing ) i wonder if those representatives have anything in common. ah, yes -- it's the spf 700 club. these congressmen had a number of objections to the bill, ranging from stupid to dumb. like kentucky representative thomas massie, seen here explaining that his gun is that size because it's cold out. ( laughter ) >> jon: it's an analogy, see... >> stephen: massey swears he supports juneteenth, but takes issue with the holiday's full name juneteenth national independence day. why? because he says it will conflict with july 4th, and push americans to pick one of those two days as their independence day based on their racial identity. let's be real. americans may have their differences, but we hold these truth to be self-evident: we take every opportunity to eat

ms. jackson lee, for 30 minutes. ms. jackson lee: let me thank the speaker for his courtesies and begin with a clarion call. the speaker wears many hats and we have been in meetings where we have focused our legislative questions on voting rights. so i think it is appropriate to begin today, to say that a crisis is pending. i'm stunned by this decision. i am aghast. i will not use the word enraged because action requires a calm and contemplative mind. but today the supreme court upheld voting restrictions. they might have written it and said they upheld voting laws. they upheld voting restrictions in arizona. and signaled that challenges in new state laws making it harder to vote, my god, i'm going to say that on this floor, making it harder to vote. in spite of the constitutional privilege that is ensconced in 13, 14, 15th amendments. that generates into the space the dignity of humanity that citizenship's birth right is the right to be precise in your desires of your representation. and then it signaled in this article

the chair now recognizes the gentlewoman from michigan, ms. lee to ask her questions. >> thank you so much, mr. chair. we all know cryptocurrency like bitcoin currently consumes enough energy to power a small nation. the consumption index is one of the most cited cryptocurrency energy estimates. right now estimates sit at analyzed consumes of tear watt hours. that's a third around the energy consumption of facebook, google, amazon's data centers combined. due to the decentralized nature of cryptocurrency, even the model is a small -- not precise estimate, and they're as high as 159 tara watt hours each hour. as bitcoin competes for tokens, energy use increases. one of the things i want to talk to you about, how can we better measure the energy consumption and resources of cryptocurrency to account for its carbon footprint. >> so i agree that the -- sorry. there's a bit of an echo. i agree that the cambridge data is our best shot right now at looking at this question. what we have the benefit of is knowing everything the peer to peer ledger tells u

ms. garcia with us? sheila jackson lee? rep. jackson lee: i am here. thank you. as has been said earlier, for you holding this important hearing, i wish i could transpose myself to the united states senate. but, before i start, let me indicate that i have heard so many people offer the name of john lewis on the other site, including republicans. we happen to be this weekend naming a navy vessel after john lewis. i hope most of the witnesses on this panel would agree with me that the greatest tribute to john lewis is to protect the fundamental right to vote and reinforce the basis of the 1965 civil rights act the 15th amendment. so, my inquiries will go along those lines. let me also indicate that because of the inertia and inaction of the senate, state leaders and black women gathered yesterday along with the democratic texas delegation who contrary to governor abbott is working very hard, to be able to insist that there must be action in the senate. to the extent that our chairwoman of the congressional black caucus was arrested, some of us will intend to do suc

ms. jackson lee: most of the colleagues of this house know that i have introduced h.r. 40, the commission to study slavery and develop reparation proposals. i read to my colleagues an assessment of the u.n. chief in a report after the killing of george floyd urging countries to do more to end discrimination, racism and make amends to them including repair reparations. that are word strikes fear in people's hearts and minds because they don't understand what ending racism is or what repairing is, repairing is a global concept and if you are harmed. when you think about racism in the united states, it is something broken. there are many ways to address it dealing with education and health care and the economy of people who have an enormous wealth gap. and bringing people together. i ask to move forward on h.r. 40. it is a healing amendment and healing legislation and will bring americans together and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does michigan seek recognition? >> i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the

ms. eunice lee, one of the great public defenders not only in new york but the country whom i'm proud to recommend to the second circuit and three district court nominees. the senate has already confirmed more circuit and district court judges before july 1 than in history. we'll continue to work in the months to come to restore much-needed balance to the judiciary. one final matter -- the child tax credit. the biggest effort in over 50 years to reduce childhood poverty in america begins on thursday. later this week, tens of millions of american families are going to see extra money hit their pay -- bank accounts when their first payments of the newly expanded child tax credit are disbursed across the country. when senate democrats passed the american rescue plan in march, we included a provision to provide the majority of parents $3,600 per year for every child under six and $3,000 for every child between six and 17. these payments i'm happy to say are ready to begin this week, which means soon that most families with kids will start receiving $300 each month for each child under six an

ms. jackson lee for five minutes. am i on? >> you are on. >> hello? hello? >> you are recognized you are on. i think he said very much but looks like you have a few seconds here into the sound. thank you so very much mr. chairman and ranking member into ms. young for the time you have spent with us today. : : : i believe we should go back to that and the reason is because it currently a re- bill of this nation that has not had the opportunity for a long period of time so let me raise the question to you with respect to the contentious formula for how one should do this. should you tell us the corporate tax in the pre-trump tax era? >> this would take us all the way back to the pre-a, 21 to 28% under this proposal. i believe we see pj rate 35%, which i'm getting a lot of nauseous, 21 to 28, before the tax cut was 35. >> let me put reasonable on that, a stamp of reasonableness on that decision in the light of what the 2.2 trillion would do, transformative investment in the elector grid, high-speed broadband, public health, research and develop it revitalizing

ms. jackson-lee? >> mr. chairman, thank you so very much.iew this as enormously crucial in holding this bipartisan hearing. and it gives me reflections down memory lane of the patriot act and the urgency after 9/11 to deal with both, as we fought for in the judiciary committee, the balance of civil liberties as well as this major effort to be able to protect america. we come full circle, i believe, and we are here to protect america again. and we're doing it from a different perspective. allow me just to lay a predicate if i might that under the trump administration justice department, they sought the phone and email records of journalists, members of congress, their families and their staff. i think this should just -- we should dwell for a moment, staff and families. i imagine there's an array of family members and there might be a toddler, some said there was a child whose various resources were, as well, sought. so donald trump's determination to repeat the abuses of president nixon was carried out in his contempt for the invaluable serv

show you the kind of relationship they had, when i was born, i was born as fred lee gray, but my mother was working for ms. betty, and ms. betty told her when she came back to work, after i was born, she thought that my middle name should be david. you know what my mother did? my mother officially changed my name from lee to david. i grew up under an all black environment, and i was very religious, and one of our preachers was from tennessee. and they said when i was young, because i was baptized in a church in montgomery, when i was 8, and understand, our preacher said there were about two things that a black boy in alabama at that time professionally could look forward to, and that was he could be a preacher or a teacher. and so since i was religiously inclined, this preacher knew about a church of christ boarding school in nashville, tennessee, for black boys who wanted to be preachers, and he told my mother even though she didn't have any money, that she ought to try to send me to that school so i could learn how to preach. and he did. while i grew up in the ghettos of montgomery, attended school, whe

ms. bray out of tennessee. this is shar lee out of bloomington, indiana. good morning, you're next. >> caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. here is how i think about the budget adds a homeowner. when you live in a home for decades and decades you don't do anything ever for the maintenance and upkeep of the home until it's falling down around you, then your bill is going to be higher and if you have an aunt and uncle, a wealthy aunt and uncle living with you who have never contributed to the upkeep and maintenance of your house, well, maybe it's time they start help with that maintenance. so that's how i look at this whole budget thing. we haven't done anything for decades and decades and this is our house and the roof needs fixed and there's leaks in the basement. so, yeah, the bill is going to be higher. >> who is the wealthy aunt and uncle in this situation? >> caller: the billionaires, the people who have been paying no taxes at all or helping to contribute. >> and where are the biggest fix that is we need? where are those leaks that you'

lee. right. well, we can try to help the situation. we can't really just stop encroaching and fields and ms. meadows, can we? no, we can't. we just need places to live, but we can, we can live alongside these and other insects we can. they can live in the garden. as we discussed earlier, my garden is full of life. i'm looking, i've got quite a big garden, but i'm looking at the window behind my laptop right now when the robust lies flying around and bumblebees, if everyone's garden was like that, then it wouldn't really be a problem. if urban air is expanded because wildlife would be living with us. so i think that is part of the solution is persuading people to, to invite life in, you know, we're, we're, we're, we're very many people because they don't really like in thanks. they don't want them in their gardens, but if we could, if we could just wind them over, persuade them to love in fax, which is kind of my mission in life. then maybe that be realize how beautiful and interesting these creatures are. and they would welcome into their gardens. but i mean, i mean, something i don't like insects. it's just that there's
