with that, let me recognize senator tillis. sen. tillis: thank you, senator reed. chair powell, thank you for being here. by the fed analysis of various policy rules, including the taylor rule, the balanced approach rule, and the balanced approach shortfall rule, rates should have begun to rise before they did. according to the fed's own analysis, the fed fund rate should currently be above 6%. likewise, the same rules should have prompted the fed to begin raising rates in q4 last year. i'm concerned. concerned that the fed has opted out of rules-based to discretionary monetary policy. as the fed reviews monetary policy strategy, will you commit to considering an increased weight for a rules-based strategy, and if not, why? mr. powell: we do use policy rules like the various forms of the taylor rule. in all of the analysis that we do -- if you are thinking about how monetary policy will affect the economy, you have to have some sort of a rule like that. the fed has never really used them in a prominent way to actually set policy in real time. that is not to say the

that same day, i reached out to senator cornyn and senator thom tillis. two friends i've worked with to craft lasting bipartisan solutions, managing the crisis at our border, and helping veterans access the benefits they've learned. we all plan to get quickly together to identify realistic solutions. within one day senators murphy, cornyn, tillis and myself all representing diverse states from across the country, sat down and started working together. that same day we met with a larger group of 12 bipartisan senators. all of whom were eager to sit down, work together and find a path forward. those meetings started at four weeks process considering and working towards a host of solutions that would save lives, make communities safer and protect american's constitutional rights. as we wrote our bill, we viewed our conversations as collaborations, not negotiations. we refused to frame our work as giving something up to giving something in return and we stayed laser focused on our shared goals of reducing violence and saving lives across american communities.

and i hope working together with senator tillis and others

within two days of the uvalde massacre, senator cornyn, senator tillis, senator sinema, and i, joined by other members of this body, had started talking, not about our disagreements. we have plenty of those. but instead about what could be possible if we sat together and refused to give up until we figured out the set of things that we could agree on, what could get 60 votes to save lives. i am so grateful in the bottom of my soul to john, to tom, and to kyrsten, and the other senators taking part in these talings. i'm grateful to senator schumer and senator mcconnell for empowering these discussions and allowing us to have this debate this week. i'm equally proud of my team, allison and semir and emily and pete who worked 40 days straight to get this bill done. but mostly i'm proud of the regular people all across this country, many of whom were forced to become advocates after this epidemic took from them a son or a daughter, a mother or a father. those citizens, many of which are watching this debate right now who protested or wrote letters or showed up at town halls, roadblock aft

thank you for senator tillis.i will be available to answer any questions you may have. >> senator tillis, on behalf of the independent budget vsos, we are pleased with the administration's budget request for the general operating expenses specifically, the veterans -- and the board of veterans appeals. earlier this year, the ib vsos recommended additional f t e and 100 million dollars primarily to help va make progress on reducing the backlog disability claims. additionally, we requested these resources to prepare be va for an influx of claims, adding new presumptive diseases, and anticipation of congress passing toxic exposure legislation, hopefully very soon. va's budget request would provide funding to add 795 new f t e, which will aid in processing claims for respiratory conditions associated with toxic exposures. and it will provide for claims and automation, as well. this funding will also be instrumental in helping to drive down the current backlog of pending claims. for the board of veterans appeals, the i

over those last three weeks senators murphy from connecticut, et cetera sinema from arizona, hundred tillis of north carolina, and others have been working to identify steps congress should take to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. this is not an easy debate. it is emotional. it can be divisive. but it is also very important that we act. most often hear people say do something. will they don't give you a lot of guidance what that something looks like. he begin to dig down into the details you find out there's not a lot of consensus about what that something should look like. the good news is, as a result of the work we have been doing these last three weeks working with our colleagues, i believe we are makingd good progress. over the weekend there was an agreement reached between 20 senators, ten republicans and ten democrats on a framework of principles for bipartisan legislation to keep our kids and our communities safe. before i go through some of the details of this agreed framework, i want to explain what it does and what it does not include. from the beginning i

of senator cornyn, who has been through way too many of these tragedies in his state and senator tillis, a strong supporter of second amendment rights, but also somebody who believes in this place, finding a way to this common denominator, it wouldn't be possible either. so i want to talk to a few moments about what this bill does. because there will be a lot of folks that focus on what it doesn't do. certainly doesn't do all of the things i think are necessary to end the epidemic of gun violence in this nation. but it will save thousands of lives, there's no doubt about that in my mind. and in fact, i could make the argument that every single one of the provisions in this bill, in and of themselves, will save thousands of lives. we don't get to do that very often in this place. we don't get the chance very often to pass pieces of legislation that have this kind of impact and so, if you want to focus what's not in this legislation, you can, it's your prerogative, but i want to spend a few minutes talking about the difference this legislation will make in people's lives. senator cinema a

but senator tillis - >> i don't want to make light of that.confirmation for being really problematic -- you need to take a hard look, seriously. need to take a hard look. i agree with senator blackburn 100%. senator tillis's line of questioning i think was really important. a number of us have been working on toxic exposure with you in a bipartisan way. senator moran has been working on this really hard. i hope the majority leader, senator tester, can keep their commitment to was to make this a bipartisan bill but let me be more blunt because i don't have consulting background of expertise that senator tillis has. here's my concern, we all want to help these veterans. i've been focused on this issue for years, but i'm worried the eligibility and ramp-up, 2.5 million veterans would have eligibility would be so dramatic that the system itself risks collapsing or delaying so much that veterans currently in the system, say a marine who got his legs blown off in afghanistan, all of a sudden the ability to care for that person gets delayed. so there

and encourage people to vote no on the tilly tax. the november 2022 electorate may be less liberal and less tax positive than june. there's no district attorney to save on the ballot. if people think sunset voters are unhappy, that's correct. forcing transfers at the l line at west portal won't help. further inaction on slow streets will annoy people on both sides. federal operating funds are drying up and ftma are squandering time and fiscal cliff looms large. i hear discussions are under way about ballot measures for operations at regional and local level in future years. i'm concerned about sb-917. i believe agencies can coordinate without any new state mandate which is another distraction. mta only saves money from the temporarily emergency transit lands if they remove running time from schedules, but they haven't. months ago, mta promised a rail service plan, which may discuss capital and service plans. passengers south of the channel on the t line, shouldn't have to transfer at 4th and king to the -- [beep] >> crossing platform

i want to thank senators murphy, sinema, tillis, as well as a larger group of senators without whom this legislation would not be on the cusp of passage. thank you. thank you for not listening to the naysayers and the critics and those who would spew disinformation an outright -- and outright lies about what we're doing here, but stood up to the responsibility we all have as united states senators to do our very best to make progress, to try to answer the call in the face of these tragedies and try in the end to save lives, which is what this is all about. now, less than one month after the shooting inle uvalde, the senate will -- in uvalde, the senate will vote soon on the bipartisan safer communities act. this legislation will protect our schools, protect our communities and safeguard the second-amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. i've said it before and i'll say it again. no parent should ever fear for the safety of their child at school, and no child should be afraid to go to school in fear of their safety. and this legislation responds to that in a positive and an affirmative

tom tillis. roy blunt. richard burr. susan collins. lindsey graham, mitt romney, and pat toomey. their backing makes this agreement really significant. after years of inaction by the senate and, of course, most recently, since the two tragedies in buffalo and uvalde. now, the news on this compromise in the senate comes as the house of representatives focuses on the january 6th committee hearings, which more than 20 million americans watched in primetime on thursday night. the hearings continue tomorrow morning and will focus on former president trump's election lies. here with me exclusively is the january 6th committee member, democratic congressman jamie ra raskin. based on what you just heard, is that a compromise you would vote on? >> well, we would certainly vote on it and work on it. you know, america is suffering a massacre pretty much every day now. there's been more massacres than days in 2022. so the house has been pushing for far more sweeping action for universal violent criminal backgrounds. >> this is a baby step you would vote yes on? >> it's moving in the right di

led by senators cornyn, sinema, tillis and others have work to move this forward. the first senate floor vote on the package was a strong bipartisan vocal. let's be clear thisbill is a compromise . a 50-50 say you expect nothing less. it doesn't accomplish everything i want. it certainly doesn't accomplish everything the republican colleagues who voted for it want eitherbut the reforms and investments made in this bill represent an important step toward making our nation safer . it won't and gun violence but well help reduce the number of shootings and killings which number about 100 americans each day and and perhaps guns as the leading cause of death among our children. we've highlighted a few important provisions. $250 million in grants for community violence intervention program which has shown great promise in communities in my state. this would double the current annual justice department funding for theseprograms . the bill makes dramatic investments in mental health infrastructure, providing billions of dollars in school and community mental health grants a

that same day i reached out to senator cornyn and senator thom tillis, two friends i've worked with to craft lasting bipartisan solutions managing the crisis at our border and helping ernst veterans access the benefits they've earned. we all planned to get quickly together to identify realistic solutions. within one day, we all representing diverse states across the country sat down and started working together. that same day we met with a larger group of 12 bipartisan senators, all of whom were eager to sit down, work together, and find a path forward. those meetings started a four-week process considering and working towards a host of solutions that would save lives, make communities safer, and protect americans' constitutional rights. as we wrote our bill, we viewed our conversations as collaborations, not negotiations. we refused to frame our work as giving something up to getting something in return. and we stayed laser-focused on our shared goal of reducing violence and saving lives across american communities. we acknowledged that the root of violence plaguing our communities is

i want to thank senator cornyn, senator tillis and senator sinema in particular pre-this was a hard road to get to this compromise but nothing worthwhile is easy. and nobody in the compromise gets everything that they want. it still will be too littleoo fr many, it will be too much for others. but it is not a box checking exercises bill is not windowed dressing. this bill is going to save lives. this bill is going to save thousands of lives. it's going to be something that every single member of the senate votes for can be proud of. i want to tell you a little bit about it. some of the sincerity been covered by my friend senator cornyn. first let me talk about the provisions in this bill that change our nation firearm laws. first we are going to invest in the development of crisis intervention orders. were to get money w out to stats that they will be able to use to implement what are commonly called red flag laws that allow local authorities and courts to take weapons and firearms temporarily away from individuals who are threatening to hurt themselves or others. we just saw connecticut

within two days of the massacre, senator cornyn, senator tillis, senator cinema and i joined by other members of this body started talking not about our disagreements. we had plenty of those, butbo instead about what can be possible if we sat together and refused to give up until we figured out the things we could agree on and get the 60 votes to save lives. i am so grateful from the bottom of my soul to john, tom, kirsten and the other senators that took part in these talks for what they did over the last four weeks. i'm grateful to senator schumer, senator mcconnell for empowering these discussions and allowing us to have this debate this week. i'm equally proud of my team who worked 24/7 for the last 30 days straight to get this bill done. but mostly, i am proud of the regular people come all across the country many of whom were forced to become advocates after thispi epidemic took from them a son or daughter year after year failure after failure, roadblock after roadblock refusing to give up because the states and their children safety were so high they couldn't afford to give up.

as you pointed out, as senator tillis pointed out as well. our policy rate is only at 1.6% but all of the curve, the markets pricing in increases so financial conditions already reflect, have already priced an additional rate increases. but we need to go ahead and have them and i think the most recent inflation indicators of various kind suggest to us that we need to accelerate, we needed to accelerate the pace at which we get up to a level that is neutral, that is close to the longer run neutral level. and then we can make an assessment of how much further and faster to go. and so that's what we're doing. i think you can see from the moves were making now that we do understand the full scope of the problem. and we're using our tools to address it pretty vigorously now. >> mister chairman, explain to us again how important one of your mandates is priced. how can face to billet-y is to all americans. >> price stability is really the bedrock of the economy. in this sense. in the sense that you really cannot have a sustained period of maximum em

with that let me recognize senator tillis. >> thank you, senator read. again, chair powell, thank you for being here. by the fed's on analysis of various policy rules including the tailorable, a revised gilgal, the approachable and the balance approach shortfall rule, right should've begun to rise long before the did. according to the fed's own analysis of these rules, the feds fund which are about 6%. this is in a report to congress. >> the rate curtly stands at 1.6%. likewise the same rules would have prompted, should have prompted the fed to begin raising rates before last year, q1 this year. i'm concerned -- on concern that the fed has opted out of rules-based to discretionary monetary policy. as the fed reviews monetary policy strategy, chair powell, when you commit to considering i wait for a a rules-based stratey and the decision-making, and if not, why? >> so we do use policy rules like the various forms of the taylor rule and all of the analysis that we do. if you're think about how monetary policy will affect the economy you have to have some s

tillis: i come to the floor today to sadly announce the retirement -- or not retirementf staff's decision to move on to another great opportunity, and i wanted to take a few minutes to talk about ted layman and not only the five years that he's been my chief of staff, but the nearly 20 years that he's been working in the senate. before i start, though, he attended the university of pennsylvania where he got his undergrad. then he went to georgetown to get his law degree. he clerked for thomas hogan, who was

over the last week and a half, i've been talking particularly with senator murphy, senator tillis, senator sinema, but literally with everybody i can reach on the phone or get through text message to see if there's some package of mental health and safety legislation that addresses some of the factors that might have prevented the recent shootings in uvalde and elsewhere. i want to be clear, though. we are not talking about restricting the rights of current law-abiding gun owners or citizens. this is a constitutional right, as much as that may go against the grain of some of our colleagues who'd like to see us do things to restrict the rights of american citizens under the second amendment. the right to keep and bear arms is guaranteed by the constitution itself. and the vast majority of the republican conference feels certainly the same way. what i'm interested in is keeping guns out of the hands of those who by current law are not supposed to have them. people with mental health problems, people with -- who have criminal records. again, this is about the art of the possible. in order to

and encourage people to vote no on the tilly tax. the november 2022 electorate may be less liberal and less tax positive than june. there's no district attorney to save on the ballot. if people think sunset voters are unhappy, that's correct. forcing transfers at the l line at west portal won't help. further inaction on slow streets will annoy people on both sides. federal operating funds are drying up and ftma are squandering time and fiscal cliff looms large. i hear discussions are under way about ballot measures for operations at regional and local level in future years. i'm concerned about sb-917. i believe agencies can coordinate without any new state mandate which is another distraction. mta only saves money from the temporarily emergency transit lands if they remove running time from schedules, but they haven't. months ago, mta promised a rail service plan, which may discuss capital and service plans. passengers south of the channel on the t line, shouldn't have to transfer at 4th and king to the -- [beep] >> crossing platform

we actually have a proven model now, and also to chris murphy and senator tillis, so many people have been supportive of this as well. and i just want to take us back for just a moment because when we came to the floor, senator blunt when you mentioned 2013, we came to the floor to mark the 50th anniversary of president kennedy signing the community mental health act. and as we know, that was the last bill he ever signed before himself being shot. and part of that was to stop causing people in hospitals -- locking people in hospitals and create more quality care in the communities. shut the hospitals, open up services in the community. as you have said so many times, half of that happened. the hospitals were closed. but we didn't provide the quality and the funding, permanent funding for the community care. that was 1963. we are doing it now in this bill. that's what we're doing in this bill is completing what was promised in a national bill signed in 1963. so we know again that one out of five people in our country -- and this is before covid will have a mental illness in their lifet

weeks senator murphy and senator from connecticut, senator sinema, the senator from arizona senator tillis, the senator from north carolina, i've searched high and low ford common ground. some people would say what's the use. why try. we know this is an issue that divides much of the country depending on where you live and maybe even divides people living in the same household. but i think we have found some areas where there's space for compromise. and we've also found that there are some red lines and no middle ground. we talked, we debated, we discrete and finally be reached an agreement among the four of us but obviously this is not something that will become law or failed to become law because of a small group of senators. the truth is we had a larger group of 20 senators, ten republicans and ten democrats come forward on to an agreed set of principles. i believe the senator see the text that supports those principles, they will see we tried her best to be true to what we said those agreed principles should be. so soon, very soon, not soon enough for me but very soon we will see the t

how to thank senators murphy and sinema, wanted and tillis for working on this framework. senator murphy asked me for space to let the negotiation, negotiators do their work and i was glad to give it to them because we knew any chance of getting something real done on gun safety is worth the effort. i want to thank my colleagues who were part of the bipartisan guns working group including senators blumenthal, manchin, goons and others. i want to thank the advocacy's, volunteers who lost loved ones who shared their stories to make the change. without the volunteers and loved ones, this bill wouldn't have happened because year after year after shooting after shooting they didn't give up, they persisted and helped bring us to this important moment. for decades, families across the country have seen the same pattern layout whatever a mass shooting trait strikes the nation, tragedy followed by an action. columbine to virginia tech to sandy hook to las vegas to parkland, to buffalo, uvalde and so many others. gridlock has prevented congress to families and grief but no matter ho

along with republicans, john cornyn, and tom tillis.in the larger group tells nbc news, that senator cornyn's participation is considered a quote good sign. since you've all day is in his home state of texas. and given his personal closeness to minority leader mitch mcconnell. at an event in kentucky, yesterday, mcconnell was asked about the issue of no gun legislation. here's what he had to say. >> we had a group led by senator cornyn. and senator murphy. discussing how we might be able to come together. to target the problem, of mental illness, and school safety. we get back at it next week, and hope we have results. >> joining us now, congressional reporter for axios, elaine. great to see you, as always. you have some new reporting about these four senators. they met in a small group, and you believe, they are now key to getting anything done on gun reform. give us the update on that. but also. i can't help but notice what mcconnell said there. he said the two issues were mental health and school safety. neither of those things guns.

>> reporter: i spoke to thom tillis, one of the leading republican negotiators in this talk, and what he told me is there are no arbitrary deadlines when it comes to when they would get a deal. you hear democrats saying they want a framework toward the end of the week. they're going to work toward that. at this moment, he argued they have quite a few issues to work through. one of them is the issue of red flag laws. there are some republicans who do not believe that even incentivizing states to pass their own red flag laws is a fair response to the crises that we are seeing across the country. they argue that it could result in a loss of due process for gun owners. you also have republicans that have concerns about other issues like raising the age from 18 to 21 to buy a gun like an ar-15. that is something that tillis told me just has not really come up in these negotiations because he said that it is just not really been on the table. they need at least ten republicans to back any deal they get, and he didn't even make any guarantees when i just spoke with him about whether or not t
