communing based partners and our partners across the federal government. i'm redoing metastatic as we can. we will pick those families we can reunify, and as we identify them we will reunify them. that is the rule. >> that's great congratulations. you mentioned mexico and canada is a huge priority both for our organization as well. you've had early context of their counterparts. could you tell us a little bit about how you're seeing the ability to cooperate with those countries? and really think about a north american strategy. >> i have had discussions with my partners to the north and to the south. and we are committed not only to advancing that partnership but strengthening our friendships. and we are looking, susan, very much at a hemispheric approach because of our shared goals and how frankly common challenges. below each of course have our respective responsibilities and obligations and opportunities and challenges, we also have those that are not specific to a particular country. but are defined by a hemispheric experience. we are together developi

engaging in the fusion centers with analysis that helps the partners based on the partner needs and collaborating with other entities to enable the information sharing environment. they should support the design and funding of technical architectures and multi use tools that enhance the ability to match and exchange information where appropriate to achieve their missions in collaboration with operating components and other headquarters offices. dhs should work to ensure that it can work across these functions with various approaches based on the needs and capabilities of its partners. to do so, dhs ina needs to examine the staffing and more now including in particular stabilizing's organizational structure mission and roll. the workforce needs consistency and continuity. something that lacks the tenure of the secretary as well as a mission that is unique and valued where they can be recognized having subject matter experts and are seen as partners. enhancing the development opportunities the dhs leadership should invest in changes to provide supervisors incentives to coach and mentor the personne

the partners based on the partner needs. and collaborating with other dhs entities to enable and effective information sharing environment. dhs/ina should support the design and funding of technical architectures and multiuse tools that enhance the ability to match and exchange information where appropriate to achieve their missions. in collaboration with the operating components and other head quarters offices. dhs/ina should work to ensure it can perform effectively with approaches based on the needs and capabilities of the partners. to do so, dhs/ina needs to examine staffing and morale, including in particular, stabilizing the organizational structure, mission, and role. the work force needs consistency and continuity. something that lasts beyond the tenure of an undersecretary. they need to be recognized as having subject matter experts and are seen as partners. enhancing career development opportunities that. they should invest to positively impact mobility to dhs agencies, increasing opportunities and exposure to the

so i think i that has led a lotf our ally and partners to work on diversifying their trading partners and their economic partners so they're not over relying on the united states should we in three and a half years embark on a protectionist, you know, trade policy. >> well that leaves actually right into my next question, and i know you had spent a lot of time working on this issue of a foreign policy for the middle class. in my conversations with administration officials they've been very clear to try to differentiate between foreign policy for the american middle class and america first. and trying to have concerns with foreign policy for the middle class amount to protectionism. how do you differentiate the two did you see a distinction or do you understand or have you spoken to other officials from other countries about their concerns that essentially foreign policy for the middle-class could amount to protectionism? >> yeah. i have had these conversations and a number of countries do, you know, have expressed to me a concern does this mean protectionism. does this mean, you know,

partners and their economic partners so they're not overreliant on the united states, should we embark on a protectionist trade policy in 3 1/2 years. >> that leads me right into my next question. you spent a lot of time working on this issue of the foreign policy for the middle class. in my conversations with administration officials, they've been very clear to try to differentiate between foreign policy for the american middle class and america first and try to assuage concerns that foreign policy for the middle class would potentially amount to protectionism. do you see a distinction? do you understand or have you spoken to officials from other countries about their concerns that essentially a foreign policy for the middle class could amount to protectionism? >> yes. and i have had these conversations, and a number of countries have expressed to me a concern, does this mean protectionism? does this mean buy america? does this mean reshoring? are we going to see more tariffs? what i tried to explain to them, having been a member of the task force that has worked on had for a number o

for example if a woman is trying to leave an abusive partner, the partner may only know how to find her at a relative's home or at her workplace. and it looks like a workplace shooting for example. or at a church. which happened a couple of years ago in texas. but over 50% of mass shootings typically include a domestic violence situation. >> if that is the case, is more than 50% of mass shooting victims women? >> no. not necessarily because you start talking about using automatic weapons that kill a lot of people at one time you, if you have nine people in the vicinity for example who are killed it's not necessarily only going to be women or more women but often there is an intimate partner or former intimate partner who is involved , if there are children a lot of times children are unfortunately involved. and killed. and even in mass shootings where a partner is not targeted about 30% of the mass shootings have a history of domestic violence. >> right which seems to be where this guy falls in, right? because he had problems with the ex-wife and had complained about wanting to harm at

we are working with partners hardest hit by the pandemic. no region of the world is suffering -- the burden has fallen hardest on the hard -- on the populations who can least afford it, pushing 19 million in latin america backing up already. we are focused on helping communities who who will -- who will have the hardest time recovering. finding ways of low income workers to find a living wage. helping under -- goes to the heart of our second priority, delivering opportunities for all people. too often, our governor -- government has gauged success on the stock market. that does not tell the whole story. many struggle to provide basics for themselves and their families. they lack opportunities to improve their lives. we need to build a global economy that the livers for them. one way to deliver both growth and equity is by addressing the climate crisis. we are seeing this devastating impact. look at the 13 hurricanes in 2020. they destroyed the homes and livelihoods of 7 million people in guatemala, honduras and el salvador. to prevent climat

what does my headset what was my thoughts about this person and if you took a look at your partner is it ok just to watch for the signs that your partner's penis gets hard why did you have to ask for consumption no so we teach the kids that it's important to communicate and always communicate i think there's a lot of times when you have sex where you don't talk that much because you're caught up in the thing but it's actually very important to talk about it and it's ok to say you know yes absolutely. sometimes you're in the middle of it and then you're just like oh and i don't want to have sex anymore and then you just communicate and you're like ok stop i don't want it anymore and then the partner has to stop because it needs to be consensual so every in every situation both need to agree ok it's right sex right now during the whole time you would know say well in my partnership something is not going all right so so i think this is not consensual is there any help i can get from from a 3rd party. there is a lot of advisory places where you can go to. i'd recommend to talk to older o

today we have an opportunity, i think, to build back better, with our partners across the full range of our homeland security missions and ms. segal touched upon that range in her very kind introduction. our vision for how this department can support a more secure and prosperous united states and western hemisphere is built and principles many of which advocated by other thoughtful policy leaders as well. security in and the facilitation of travel and trade are mutually reinforcing activities. the more we know about a person or a cargo, the faster it can move. we must recenter, i think, our international relationships to focus on the economic imperative, which requires that we have secure global trade and transit pipelines. this will create more harmonious trade practices and give all of our economies a needed boost. in the same vein, you must begin to view our border management as a critical piece of our economic security and also a tool for connection and economic development. rather than viewing borders solely as the lines that mark national boundaries and that divide us from one

any country that wants to raise a foundation on climate will find a partner in both the united states government and the private sector. at the climate summit, president biden announce that by 2024, the united states will double the public international climate finance that we provide compared to its prior peek during obama administration to 5.7 billion dollars every year. and every year 1.5 billion of that fund willing go to climate adaptation, and resilience. third, we're reinvigorating our support for democracy. this year markings the 20th anniversary of the signing of the enter democrat been exceptions but most of our hemisphere democracy has grown stronger. but today, our democracies are being tested. political polarization is rising which mac it is harder for elected officials to deliver results. and the people's trust and democratic institutions is falling. no democracy in the region is free from at least sub challenges including the united states. together, we must rise to the moment and hold one another to the standards we all agree to in the charter. that means treating thos

is a better partner than china. but they still have to live in that neighborhood. they want a reliable partner that can help build capacity long-term and as this network can stand together and operate together, it's our best deterrence. we talked about modernization. we are in the biggest phases of the last 20 years. the army as a community leader in technology and is at the forefront of fueling new technologies. through the efforts of command we have accelerated the modernization timeline by bringing stakeholders under one roof. we have produced timelines and aggressively prototypes -- prototype tests. we are fielding new equipment now and will continue to do so. the systems coming online and arriving create options for the secretary of defense in defense to meet the geopolitical realities that arise. these efforts include maneuver short range air defense, enhanced nightvision goggles and we will field modern multipurpose vehicles and a battle command system. then next generation rifles, missiles and in the next several years, artillery, firepower. these are not p

allies or partners. mine, not allies, partners in country, right, doesn't have to be the security forces, is that right? >> history would indicate it doesn't have to be the security forces. >> thank you. >> senator blumenthal, please. >> thanks, mr. chairman. thank you both for your service and testimony today. mr. helvey, in your answer to the ranking member's question concerning the special im migrant visa program you made mention of the need for legislative changes to the program. i think we're very unified on that committee in our resolve that we provide this access to people who have put their lives and their families seriously at risk. and i am wondering what legislative changes you have in mind you recommend we do, and would you be willing to provide this committee with a specific proposal for the changes you envision? >> senator, it's my understanding that the national defense authorization act has historically been the vehicle through which we've received additional quotas or increased numbers f

partners. the 2020 defense space strategy which my office prepared addresses these challenges of deterrence as well as the challenges of crisis de-escalation and warfare extending to space. we are building comprehensive military advantages in space. we are integrating space into national, joint, combined operations. we are shaping a strategic environment to enhance domain stability and reduce the potential for miscalculation. we will enhance cooperation in space with our international partners, our commercial entities, are interagency partners. in support of the guidelines, my office once dod's participation in the space diplomatic initiative, which centers on establishing voluntary nonbinding standards of responsible behavior and on exposing the disengine white house space arms control initiatives of russia and china. mr. chairman, i am honored to have played a part in the bipartisan efforts of the executive and legislative branches of the last several years to strengthen our national security

i think that it's let a lot of our allies and partners to really work on diversifying their trading partners and their economic partners so they are not overreliance on the united states should we in three and half years embark on a protectionist trade policy. >> that means we -- that actually can writing to my next question. i know you spent a lot of time working on this issue of a foreign policy for the middle class, and my conversations with administration officials they have been very clear to try to differentiate between foreign policy for the american middle class and america first, and try to assuage concerns that foreign policy essentially amounts to protectionism. how do you differentiate the two? do you see a distinction or do you understand or have you spoken to officials of the countries about their concern that essentially a foreign policy for the middle class could amount to protectionism? >> yes, and i have had these conversations in a number of countries, have expressed to be a concern, does this mean protectionism? does this mean by america? does this mean we shoring? are we

in terms of our partners, we maintain good relationships with a number of allied partners. the vast majority of the production we provide is at a releasable level. our five eye level and some of the other levels. every step we take is a recognition and feeding this environment and we have a huge role and not only being able to declassify as needed but to produce and collect at an unclassified level to support our policymakers. >> last question: revolutions have a tremendous effect on dod and all of our operations across our agent these. sadly, the fiscal year is set. congress could move it to december 31 which i think would save us three months of back work. i have been an advocate for that. i just want to take an opportunity because i think the area of space is particularly impacted by your resolutions. to give anybody on our powell an opportunity to chime in and give us additional fodder on the evils and effects to your operations and your area of continued resolutions. >> just briefly, i would say from the outset of space and speaking for the space force, there is an add

partners and their economic partners so they are not overreliance on the united states should be in three and half years embark on a protectionist trade policy. >> that means we actually right into my next question. i know you'd spent a lot of time working on this issue of foreign policy for the middle class. in my conversations with administration officials they have been very clear to try to differentiate between foreign policy for the american t middle class and america first. with concerns the foreign policy for the middle-class is protectionism. how do you y d differentiate the two? do you see a distinction or do you understand or have you spoken to other officials from other countries about their concern that essentially foreign policy for the middle class could amount to protectionism? >> yes. i have had thesee conversations in a number of countries have expressed to me a concern does this meann protectionism? does this mean by america? is this re- shoring are we going to see more tariffs? what i tried to explain to them having been a member of the task for this work in the c

we are enhancing space cooperation with our international partners and interagency partners. in support of the national security strategic guidelines, my office participation in the u.s. government space to medic initiatives which currently centers on establishing standards of responsible behavior and on exposing space arms control initiatives of russia and china. mr. chairman, i am honored to have played a part in the bipartisan efforts of the executive and legislative branches of the last several years to strengthen our national security. i look forward to working with congress, industry, our allies and partners to secure the advantages of space for our national interests and i look forward to your questions. rep cooper: general thompson? general thompson: thank you for the opportunity to testify today as vice chief of space operations. on behalf of the chief of space operations, and joined by these outstanding national security space leaders on the panel, it's a pleasure to provide you details on the newest military service and inform you of our plans for the coming year.

>> senator, we continue to coordinate closely with our coalition partners. we went into this together with we've adjusted over the years together and we are coming out together and we continue to work together to do our best to support the amd sf and the government of afghanistan. >> you say we're coming out together. >> that's correct. >> to me that makes that even worse. what do you think. >> thank you for that question and i agree. we have a moral obligation to help those that have helped us over the past 20 years of our presence in afghanistan. we are working closely with our state department and interagency colleagues to look at programs like the special visa program. however as you know program in and of itself is limited. we like to be able to work with congress to be able to increase the quotas and the resources for special immigrant visas, but there are certain categories of our partners that wouldn't meet the threshold for special immigrant visas so we need to look at other tools and mechanisms to help those that have helped us. whether that's sign

we really do see them as partners. we don't just see them as third-party administrators, or, you know, just rentees. we work very closely with them, again, to meet our economic development goals as a city, as a neighborhood, as we gather input and work very closely with our neighborhood partners and our community organizations on the ground to develop goals for how we want to support the corridor. pre-pandemic, i will say that many of our neighborhoods were very focused on stabilizing given the high rent, and so really the focus was on supporting the existing businesses, on keeping them there, through a variety of many different strategies and interventions. so when we get the funding, what we do is we develop the programs and administer it. there are internal programs that we have that we administer ourselves, but many of them, again, we put out through a request for proposals. and then we give the opportunity to organizations to apply to meet those goals that are in there, including many supervisorrial aspects and pr

you mentioned several partners, african partners, we work with all of those partners. we work with them to advance what we are doing. the united states doesn't lead any activity, we work through african partners first and international partners second. and i think that, you know and then you mentioned several political problems, i think our administration strategy is the right one. lead with diplomacy. follow with development, secure with the fence. >> thank you thank you mister chairman. >> thank you senator gillibrand. >> thank you mister chairman, and gentleman thank you will for your service to our country. let me begin with a question for general townsend. general, last time i had an opportunity to visit djibouti at that point we had a chance to observe the operations about the chinese were doing in regard to creation of a naval base, or at least a port there in djibouti. can you share with us the currents that is of the chinese operations in djibouti right now. in their port and what they're capable of doing with it? >> thank you senator. >> based in djibouti, th

we will be a strong and honest partner. we commit to engaging thoughtfully with our hemispheric partners as other nation with different views seek to promote a competing vision with fundamentally different values. our new approach to trade will guide us through these tough times and benefit people across this members hemisphere. we have to have broad-based growth that protects the planet. doing that will not be be easy, we'll have to walk, chew gum and play at the same time. i'm willing to work with you. >> and ambassador, thank you for the comments. and and confirmed by the u.s. senate unanimously. i'm not sure there's been one in the last 100 years. i'm exaggerating, but that's the broad acceptance. thank you for the comments. we only have about 10 minutes and see how much questions we can get to. one builds off what you said about the pandemic we can't be satisfied going back to the way we used to be, build back better and come back in a robust manner, and looking at the hemisphere where it continues to rage and trade po

lastly in november initially based on the tip received from our law-enforcement partners we arrested a new york-based militia violent extremists from making threatening interstate communications towards new york senator schumer. we also continue to expand our partnership in academia, private sector and within the communities we serve. this is critical because you only have half of our choices are predicated on tips from the public or referrals from other launchers and agencies. i also want to take this opportunity to reemphasize the fbi mission to uphold the constitution, protect emergent people and this is dual and simultaneously but not contradictory. that said, when it crosses the line from beliefs to violating federal law we aggressively pursue those threats. i want to include my remarks by expressing the fbi's appreciation for the support that you have provided and continue to provide the men and women of the fbi. i look for to answering questions you may have. >> thank you. at this time we recognize deputy assistant attorney general wickman for five minutes for testimony and th

but germany not on its partner. so, so we don't invite them of course, and under german law. of course it's a crime that somebody is spying here in germany. but on the other side, we don't trust anybody that they don't do. we try to prevent that others also our european partner. we prevent that. they can spy in germany. okay, so do you think that berlin should take any action of these allegations, at least demand that this report be released? of course we have to find out what happened there. what kind of last, while the cable cables have been fired on and used for trying to, to get into the communication of our leading politicians. of course we have to investigate this. but on the other side of something that we can band or something that we can avoid forever, we have to be aware that anybody tries to get information and these what's intelligence agencies for so never trust anybody. all right, patrick sandburg, from chester michaels cd you party. thank you very much for joining us. your look. new zealand, the milit

allied partnered space activities. russia and china view space as critical to modern warfare and consider the use of counter space capabilities as both a means of reducing u.s. military effectiveness and winning future wars. as these developments continue, the united states must continue to originate in space. to be clear a conflict would not be a space war, but would rather represent the extension of traditional armed conflict into the space domain. in the office of the assistant secretary of defense for space policy, we're focussed on strategy, plans and appropriate capabilities to develop a space posture that contributes to integrated deterrents by conveying clearly to competitors and any adversary the in advisability of military aggression. the 2020 defense base strategy, which my office prepared, addresses these challenges, as well as the challenges of crisis deescalation and warfare extending to space. first we're building military advantages in space. second, we're integrating space into national and joint come

i think we do need to be in concert with our trading partners.hey need to be in concert with congress on these important issues. >> even within a five minute time period. >> thank you senator warner. important issues. senator thune is next. is he out there in cyberspace? >> okay. i believe senator thune is coming in which would make senator whitehouse next and he also i think is going to be on the web. >> as an ambulance converging point for the pressures and counter pressures it is the u.s. trade representative. they had an unfortunate role despite the nominal support of president trump and the ambassador we came out of the conference with press reports saying that the u.s. had not only been weak but had actually tried to weaken the proposals that everybody else was trying to agree to in geneva and with regards to the convention that we are not even a part of. so we do not have a great record on this. but there is bipartisan support the senator that has done such good work in this area. that was an encouragement and the best we could do the firs

our allies and partners would suffer, not improve. and the u.s. would end up spending more money for less security. and this goes directly against the biden administration's stated goals thinking that alliances and partnerships can substitute for u.s. military capability and capacity is wishful thinking. it's illogical. that strategy will harm our national security. as former defense secretary jim mattis said, throughout history we see nations with allies thrive and nations without allies wither. and if we want to win against our strategic competitors, it would take both a strong fully resourced military as well as strong alliances and partnerships. but let's be clear. one is not an alternative for the other. you've got to have both. so it's clear then that we need our allies so how do we maintain this mutual relationship with robust defense spending 3% to 5% real growth, that's what it calls for right here. this year we should have 3% to 5% increase in the president's -- and the him's budget has came -- the president's budget has came out with a

and partners we have in our framework a decision that we don't spy on our partners. we don't spy on european partners and not on the american partners, but we have coming interest. we work together. for example, in bringing light in the fields, what russia is doing? what china is doing that we work together, but be aware that our partners maybe once you have a look inside and our information, so we keep them secret message. i just want to make clear what you're saying or you're saying that other partners can spy in germany. but germany not on its partner so, so we don't invite them of course, and under german law. of course it's a crime that somebody is spying here in germany. but on the other side, we don't trust anybody that they don't do. we try to prevent that others also our european partners. we prevent that. they can spy in germany. okay, so do you think that berlin should take any action or obligations at least demand that this report be released? because we have to find out what happened there. what kind of glass, while the cable cables have been spied on an
