it's so broad in this legislation that sheila jackson lee is proposing is so broad.t made me laugh, stuart, she was on television earlier this week with the reverend al sharpton saying words can break your bones. now appearing with al sharpton could be mis-con trued as a hate crime itself considering his record of being part of race hoaxes and inis it a gaiting riots but putting that aside, who defines what white supremacy inspired speech looks like? she said it can be antagonism created on replacement theory or hate speech can be criminalized that vilifies roofers is directed against any -- or directed against any nonwhite person. that could be a dispute between a white and black person at a coffee shop and it's only directed one way. i'm sorry, this is too general and it really is targeting speech that sheila jackson lee finds offensive, but what about he can be else? this is -- we've gone down this path repeatedly and seen the biden administration try this. i worry about this, but it's not going anywhere, thank god. stuart: the diocese of des moines, iowa, has ban

what part of that first amendment doesn't sheila jackson lee understaff?it only one form of racism when there are multiple forms of racism? >> looks i understand the argument there, but we have to remember freedom of speech has limitations, right? i mean, when freedom of speech is directly connected to an act of violence, for example, it's limited. the government has always limited wyomissing racism. you didn't answer my question. why only one form of racism when there are numerous forms of racism? >> well, maybe we need to have several bills. i think the congresswoman has good intentions. >> by the way, let's be realistic. i don't think you'll get pass on this. >> gop want this bill to pass. do you want it to pass? i think it should, but i think it should be looked at 100% it should be legalized. ultimately was the premise. there's has no place in america, by the way. >> i condemn all races. go ahead. let me be let me be as clear as possible. this man is trying to defend the indefensible. shame on you. you know, you cannot defend it. you're basically it's

sheila jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. jackson lee: this is another moment that i'm on the floor of the house and i thank the ranking member of the committee on energy and commerce who has been so dutiful throughout the years that we suffered somewhat lonely and somewhat confused about covid-19. we had never experienced this trauma. and it certainly brings me to deep sense of loss to hear a member speak about the loss of his mother. these are personal matters for many of us. some having lost dear friends, but nothing can equate to losing a beloved loved one. so we stand on the floor. we speak with a sense of compassion. and concern. i think it is certainly fine for there to be individual -- i turn the card, i flip the coin, individual examples of individuals seeking -- seeking not to be vaccinated. they can find medical facilities that would allow them to work there. but it is no doubt that the actions of the biden administration saved lived. there's no doubt that on our side of this issue, 50 health care organizations, pro
