post-needs. so we're looking at the needs assessment and then making decisions. the budget goes into the mayor's office january, february -- and sometimes it goes in as early as december, though. it would be nice to be in alignment. it doesn't have to be, but just thinking about that timeline, but definitely wanting to impact the mayor's budget, at least. so i think april is a little late. so -- for the needs assessment to be completed and have time to make all of those hard decisions. or else i feel like we're going to be rushed again. and that was the thing we swore we weren't going to do again, being rushed -- we had the big rush in december, but then it was pretty rushed after that, too. so those are my comments. oh, and just, i think, as we -- so to just be a little bit more -- a little more substantive, my comments -- when, for example, the focus groups are being -- our the outreach methodology, however we're getting input, we should have the liaison present to make decisions about how those things are structured. we're missing a data officer right now, and

many that don't have the supply needed to meet the demand, most communities we need to be building more apartment and make them available to the lowest income. the people living in those apartments can afford them. we need to bridge the gap between what people learn -- earn. in this moment there are some big, unique, and important opportunities to use federal resources that would provide to the american rescue plan to purchase some of these hotels and motels that they are looking to sell. to convert them into permanent support. that could be a housing solution , this could be an exit strategy for those families. it creates a permanent affordable housing in that community for the long-term. there is high billion dollars going to the home program. they are making the permanent housing and start to address homelessness. host: in a number of places and industries, pay is going up but the federal minimum wage has not gone up. what role does the federal minimum wage pay if you're analyzing this data on affordability. guest: clearly the federal minimum wage needs to be increased. even if we ra

we need new immigration laws. we need to change the system. i believe in legal immigration. but should we just open our borders everywhere? or is it just in that area, in the southern border? how do we really approach this? why is it bad for our nation, a sovereign nation, to have borders to protect the people who live in the nation and then to actually put together a real, legal immigration plan? how can illegal immigration when, in fact, as we know, the illegal immigration that we have now children are being used, abused, children and women are being used as drug mules, being sexually attacked in order to get more people in our country. how can that be a good thing? how can it be right even for them when before we had agreements with the northern triangle, we had agreements with mexico in which those folks were held and treated decently there and were billing an actual border in our country. how can that be wrong? countries have borders. every country. mexico does. canada does. every country we know of pretty much that speaks for itself at all has a border. how can we just

but speaking globally, i think that the road is something that needs needs of wider audience needs. a wider discussion needs a wider platform and right now it's where it hasn't happened yet. no, definitely not. it hasn't happened yet. and i think we're still sort of mulling over it. that is a huge class of scientists, a political scientists that have consider going forward with it in terms of research, but the real implementation of it. i don't see the politics denita is picking it up to the extent that it needs to. but if you look at the go, the south where, you know, we've knocked trajectories right now still upwards they've not been. we've not denise the position in terms of standard living in terms of well being in terms of growth, where we can look at the growth. but you still have tried in the are giving carbon neutral targets. but when, if it be 2060 despite the fact that it was only less than 2 decades ago, that we had a real chance at, at reaching the cross. but i mean having said that, i'd also, i also think claudia said it's not capitalism or climate, and i think it's sor

we need to change that. our schools need to evolve so that the workforce needs today are met. to four-year schools too because students may want to advance their education. we have to change the culture and change the narrative. we do that by creating quality programs. i can tell you in connecticut the running joke was, if you're a welder who knows how to code, you're set. you're not going to have debt. you're going to have people knocking on your door to hire you and you're going to be making a very, very good salary. i've seen it. we have to work together to make sure not only that we're changing the narrative, but that we're providing good pathways for students with jobs that exist now, that are vacant now. we have to connect our prek through 12 schools to colleges. >> thank you. i want to give a shoutout mr. morita, my seventh grade teacher. i yield back. >> gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. keller. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, mr. secretary, for being here today. when we look at the outstanding student debt, it's quickly approaching $2 trillion. president biden h

those need to be cleared, too. i would just like to see the v.a., especially under secretary mcdonough's leadership, have a sense of urgency, and let's get on with all of these things. so i got that off my chest, mr. chairman. >> that's good. >> thank you. >> senator sullivan. >> thank you mr. chairman. gentlemen, thanks, mr. secretary. thanks. sorry i missed the first panel. man, that went fast. we had a bunch of votes. maybe i will call you and give you kind of an update on some of the issues i am focused on. one i was going to ask the secretary but i want to ask the vso leadership. it goes to this issue of va/dod integration. it is a good way to save money but expand services. you don't have a lot of those opportunities throughout the country, really throughout the federal government. in alaska, over 40% of our residents are federal health care beneficiaries. that's va or dod kind of related, which is really pretty big. i think it's one of the biggest per capita, if not the biggest in the country. but we don't e

to make sure we give people what they need. everyone when everyone thrives. >> i can't think of a better way to end this session. what a fantastic statement to carry forward with us. thank you so very much for joining us. it's been an absolute joy. just very very grateful and huge congratulations on writing such a fantastic fantastic book and i'm going to say the name and i'm going to read it. it is "remote work revolution" succeeding from anywhere by tsedal neeley and for those of us and i decide i want to remind our senior executive members that we have an discussion on may 25 from 11:45 to 12:45 and thank you so much and all of those of you who are able to join us thank you for your time. tsedal it's been a pleasure. stay safe and stay well and look forward to seeing you again. >> thank you so much. goodbye politics -- weighs in on american politics. cnn senior legal analyst ellie hoenig takes a critical look at former attorney general william barr's time in the trump administration in hatchet a man. >> every saturday you'll

but those countries will need support and we need and they need the science now. manufacturing can be wrapped up when manufacturing people already. and typically there's no regulator here that can intervene. there's no higher authority the united nations to intervene to force the european union and the british government to give away the recipe to the vaccine against corona buyers. there is no higher level, i mean, every, every proposal on the table at the well trade organization that would see these intellectual property listed. but to agree that is dependent on the government coming together and agreeing that now over a 100 countries already supporting this proposal, including president biden, including president my problem, including the russian government, including the chinese government. government is just a handful less like the u. k. and germany who was standing in the way, if they shifted, we could get a consensus and we could get things moving as quickly as possible. they need to get, they need to start blocking this proposal. and i thank you. thank you very much. after the

to be duly needed to do. so i commit to being able to work across the government and understanding capacity and where the roles and responsibilities need to be defined. >> can you get a little bit more details on that. do you think that needs to take a form up legislation, this conversation that you're currently having help for when you plan on having them in the future pretty. >> we are having them now as we work with hhs and continued response to covid-19 pretty if there's a point in time, i'm certainly happy to get back with you on that pretty. >> as you know a number of state governors in the majors that disaster - does fema have a projected timeline as for when the covid-19 declaration identify to. >> we are reviewing that currently and when that might happen, it's not going to happen them in the very near future and i know that we will make sure we are providing ample notice for jurisdiction so they understand what the impact of that might be. >> if you could go into a little bit more depth, the state c

obviously we have infrastructure needs throughout this agency and no matter where those needs are, matters to all of us because it's the signs mission that drives our decision-making but i do want to mention the ames research center. it's not in my district but it is in the county i represent is the second oldest center. my perception of the infrastructure need sometimes has fallen off the priority and the sense that one of the biggest barriers is lack of strong advocates of the top of the agency. that could be other centers are dominated by specific programs. aeronautics, a blend of smaller programs across all divisions so that advocacy is used. what kind of evaluation we are going to use so that a program doesn't get lost in the best, if you will. what kind of objective evaluation is going to be used. i thank you for your advocacy. it's possible, we help not that not every priority will be funded. if there's not one 100% funding, how are you going to prioritize what is funded? >> thank you, i appreciate your question. first on the concept, how we make all of these things work across the

it needs an active, you know, it needs from a collective in order to drive that mandate. and i think this is some of the critiques of capitalism infiltrating cervical activist work, you know, 100 percent community community based change is the most sustainable and effective change in the long. and if you're looking at capitalism in a capitalistic world, the most ideal position you can be in right now is to be a white man. and that breaks down so much, it breaks down the feminist movement and breaks down any movement laid by women. capitalism breeds the system of inequality. of course, it's always going to be if i'm winning someone else's losing. and like you said, it's a very individual, a glorified individual work. and that is extremely problematic. it's also very problematic to have one face represent a home. and because it excludes people that don't match that face that don't match the demographic. so yeah, definitely not carbon capitalism is the main cause to climate crisis. sorry. can i just add onto that? you know, i mean, i'm reflecting, reflecting such an importan

they need our encouragement, they need our expertise. even more so, they need assistance with childcare, all of the support and services that make college possible. it so happens i believe you are standing here at the epicenter of community college innovation, entrepreneurship, and commitment to community transportation through education. and everyone can applaud yourself right now. [applause] >> we are the only community college in illinois to show positive enrollment growth in each of the past five years. our faculty and staff have used their disruption of the pandemic to go through their own disruptive processes, trying to transform the learning setting to be more responsive to where students live, and to be more impactful. through a collaboration of local state and philanthropic resources, we will soon break ground on a 50,000 square food center for technology and innovation. our board of trustees, these community volunteers, are providing exemplary leadership during uneven economic times. this is the place where dreams are being act

so we absolutely need to expand these programs to meet the need. it is also essential that we ensure that these properties are kept up and that they are safe and decent, not only affordable for the people who live within them. and a couple of the callers and commenters are right, that much of our affordable housing stock in our country is in poor condition. that is due to decades of declining resources to repair these units and keep them in these sanitary conditions. so public housing, for example, has been underfunded for decades and now has a $70 billion capitol needs backlog. in other words, it would cost $70 billion to repair our country's public housing infrastructure and maintain those properties in sanitary condition for the people who live there today and to keep it for the generations who will need it in the future. so that's an additional investment that we are urging and that president biden has proposed to invest in the public housing, the affordable housing that exists today to repair it so that it's safe and sanitary for the people th

that needs to be fixed. people need to contact their congressional leaders to make sure that the irs gets the funding they need to help taxpayers. susan: you seem to be more benign about people tapping into their retirement savings in difficult times. michelle: if you don't have to tap it, don't. before the pandemic, people were tapping their retirement for a down payment on a home, to pay off debt. don't do that. but there for your retirement. it is tough enough to save that money. however, if you have lost your job, and you have no savings, no judgment. sometimes you have to do what you have to do. i cannot sit here and say don't touch that money and you can't buy groceries. i give permission to people to tap in, but only what you need, and with things get better, try to put that money back or cut expenses so you can increase contribution. in times of crisis, you have to go in crisis mode, and that may be tapping that money. try to make it a last resort. in the book, talk about the first place you should g

so what needs to be done and who needs to do? it's to get the continent in a winning position in, in respond and in anticipation of exactly what we are going through. on the 8th of may, we can be in an emergency meeting of or minister of her to actually want to raise an alarm that what was happening in india could actually happen here. if you recall, we said we need to do 3 things. we need what we call enhanced prevention. we need it in hand monitoring. we need it enhance treatment, where people actually, countries actually stop them set up with oxygen, where we knew where the barriers were cyclical, but conducting surveillance and flushing out their hot spots. and we have an access to vaskins, does that, does that come on strategy? we agreed on the 8th of may? so this was anticipated. a was predicted that we may actually begin to us that we've really as t calling for partnerships to, to support countries to fight this very brutal debt with. okay, and we, we saw just in our report that the medical supply shortages, one of the big

we need really need about oxygen and reveal. and then also the medicine because we 3, she's condition so we need to see fit. we cannot find it. doctor ernie says, the government's data doesn't tell the full story because so many people are dying before they take a p. c r test. oh, we feel bad because right now there are a lot of loss of home. sometimes we have report report before the for the us the someone died at home when we checked the body with unto gen, before her team tried to monitor patients in the area. but there were more than 300 of them and only 30 health workers as hospitals reached capacity and are forced to turn away critically ill people. roving teams of public health clinic work as a trying to reach those in need of medical attention to monitor their condition and to provide them with oxygen and medication. but there are too many patients and not enough medics and they don't have the time or resources to help everyone in need. the ministry of health says it is trying to increase medical oxygen production and ad

what they need to do, what they need to cart. yes. well, there's so much that there's so many different areas, but in agriculture that can be reduced by emissions movie. so if you think about the feed that they give the animals, for example, trying to reduce the emissions that actually generated within the animal. when you think about the volume of animal that's being produced, we have found that over the last year there was actually been an increase in emissions from, from unvil agriculture. and ready, bath is logic as a pock is result of the fact that more animals would be could use them. so missing about a that needs to be an adoption of electric vehicles for example, and really trying to stop the mission that happen. so there are lots of areas in the production of the animal and animal protein that we could start to see reduction happen. we just need to see that there's more regulations or more incentivized ation of bama strike to do things like this is a happy balance between livelihoods and farming emissions. absolutely. i belie

dhs needs to think against nonmilitary threats this is what dhs needs to move towards. and when the trust of the american people how to take on what it does it also needs to modernize the approach to public-private partnerships because that's the way dhs contributes tackling climate change morale is another important challenge. let me asked the court to put up slide number two for the committee to take a look at. one thing we have noted dhs is ranked last in the annual surveys of employee morale since 2010. the data for the september october 2020 dhs is still last with agencies in the federal government. but our analysis shows morale is not a hopeless task but far from it. frank taylor between 2014 and 2017 immigration and customs enforcement at the us secret service between 2017 and 2019 if i can ask the court to show slide three. was citizenship and immigration services fell off a cliff they fell from 90th to 339-2411 the reasons for the drop deserve a hearing of their own dhs had other success stories and the components with their response to the covid-19 pandemic an

we also need not only to deliver service to those who need it the most, we need to deliver it geographically. those are the types of things that we use, and we publish that so folks can understand the decisions that we're making. the other thing is we can avoid the hard choices by maximizing our services. we tried to focus in a fine way on prioritizing people with disabilities, seniors, and folks with other mobility restrictions as a key component of our planning, so it's the other part of our element that we had. another part is hearing from our riders so we can understand things that the data would miss, like residents in the tenderloin that needs to get to the foods co, which was their closest healthy food choice in the mission. so i hope that explains the data analysis that we're doing. in the service data analysis planning that we're doing now, we're doing very detailed working, looking at overall accessibility. so how quickly can you get from a to b within san francisco, taking into account the walk distance to the bus top, taking into -- stop, taking into account the speed and reliabi

well i can argue that we all need plastic, we do not need all plastic. certainly unnecessary plastic materials permit our society and materialization play a role in a sustainable polymer future. there's some places where we simply used too much plastic. we need a major change in the way we produce, use, dispose of, and recycle plastics. the goal of zero plastic pollution is aloft even though it's a necessary one for sustainable plastics future. to realize his vision there many factors to consider, including policy initiatives, improve recycling practices, other end of life infrastructure, and industry adoptions of sustainable alternate uses for career plastic products, packaging, and processes. that basic andand here today toe fact that basic and fundamental research and sustainable polymers is and will continue to be essential for a strong foundation for what -- new sustainable technologies can be built. this is where government industry in private foundation support all play critically important roles. basic research and sustainable polymers aims to un

they do still need security assistance. they still need financial assistance. and they need diplomatic assistance. we should be having all of the countries of the region, as many as we can get, and others sending clear messages to the taliban to seek a peaceful solution to this, and to accept the other parts of the society in afghanistan that do not share their views. so far, they have not done that, they have not indicated any willingness to do that. part of the whole initial agreement that the united states negotiated with the taliban had, as part of that, that they were going to have a dialogue with the government in kabul. that dialogue really has gotten nowhere. it has not been serious. and i'm sure, right now, in recent weeks and months, it's been less serious. even though it's not as much leverage as we would've had, as ambassador crocker made clear, if we still had all of our tools and our troops there, we still need to use all the leverage we do have, which is the fact afghanistan gets 80% of its money to function from international donors. that's not

we need a better way of coalescing around this, but your comment is spot on to where we need to be. i know my colleagues have been thinking about it, so i'll pass it to generals berrier and nakasone for their comments. >> congressman, that is a great comment about a.i. that's everything for di right now. as we move from the legacy database, think of it as everything we know about the world but in analog. think of excel spreadsheets and analysts' time on a target folder, if you will, to an automated a.i.ml-infused project which will be a foundation for the department as we move into our joint war-fighting context. we'd invite you and your committee members down to take a look at that. on the digital academy, i would just say that we need folks who are data literate and understand the science. right now, they're hard to find. if it took a digital academy, that'd be an interesting way to put a bunch of those folks into the workforce very, very rapidly. it's a very intriguing idea. >> representative, i had the idea to take the outbrief on the national commission. it was just this week.

needs to help you >> yep >> simple as that. >> yeah, yeah. we need help so u.s. army, the u.s. government have to help us. >> and tom is just one of many and he says that he fears that time is running out for him, that the taliban are closing in. he doesn't have any money anymore because he's lost his job because the u.s. military closed down the bases. so, he's in hiding but it is very difficult to be in hiding as the taliban continues to take more territory. and it is even more difficult to be in hiding in his case when you have three young children and a wife and no money and everyone in his village knows who he is. so, he thinks if he doesn't leave now, he's going to be killed and it is just a matter of time. and there are many, many translators just like him. >> that's nbc's richard engel with us tonight. >>> a champion crowned with a seven-letter noun. how a teen from louisiana made history last night at the national spending bee. >>> and a photo finish in the billionaire space race could happen this weekend. i'll speak with a former nasa astronaut about the flight and wh

needs of wider audience needs a wider discussion, needs a wider platform and right now if it hasn't happened yet, no, definitely not. it hasn't happened yet. and i think we're still sort of mulling over it. that is a huge class of scientists, a political science does that have consider going forward with it in terms of research, but the real implementation of it. i don't see the politics, benito speaking it up to the extent that it needs to. but if you look at the go, the south where, you know, we've not to trees right now, still upwards did not be to be not due to the position in terms of standard of living in terms of well being in terms of growth. where we can look at it in growth, but you still have tried giving a carbon neutral talk. it's but 20502060. despite the fact that it was only less than 2 decades ago that you know, we had a chance at, at reaching the growth. but i mean having said that, i'd also, i also think claudia said it's not capitalism or climate, and i think it's sort of, you know, working hand in hand because to be able to address the climate issues, we need mo

but speaking globally, i think that the growth of something that needs needs of wider audience needs a wider discussion, needs a wider platform. and right now if it hasn't happened yet, no, definitely not. it hasn't happened yet. and i think we're still sort of mulling over it, that is a huge class of scientists, a political scientists that have consider going forward with it in terms of research, but the real implementation of it. i don't see the politics denito speaking it up to the extent that it needs to. but if you look at the gold, the south where, you know, we've not trajectories right now, still applauds did not be to be not in the position in terms of standard of living in terms of well being in terms of growth. where we can look at the growth, but you still have tried in the are giving carbon neutral targets, but when it could be 2060, despite the fact that it was only less than 2 decades ago, that we had a real chance at, at reaching the court but i mean having said that, i'd also, i also think claudia said it's not capitalism or climate, and i think it's sort of, you know

and then third we need to develop our contingency planning for those who are going to need assistance, both humanitarian assistance when they are on the move in the country or out of the country, but also those who worked very closely with us but not for us in this contingency situations. and those who want to write network and preserve the values they believe in, but we have to be ready to help them, no matter what evolves, it seems to me. >> ambassador jacobs, what needs to happen over the next two weeks for the next three months? >> well, i would say any efforts by congress to streamline the siv process are welcome. so hopefully senator shaheen talked about a number of measures come hopefully those will get through. i agree with the jill that we need to start living people as soon as possible. i understand the security reasons that the white house doesn't want to talk a lot about countries that we are talking to and all of that, but eventually they're going to have to make public the evacuation plan and where these people are going. and then support counselor affairs and homeland s

the government sees no need to import more of these medicines. so the medicines are not available in the country. there's quite often there's not a budget because the companies are struggling to meet other health care needs. the budgets are restricted and they say they can't spend money on the latest care. and there's often a lack of policy. so physicians to not even know that there's something they should know about actually providing an essential package for pell it is not that difficult. there was a commission from the medical journal, the lancet, which describes such an essential package saying that it's about 20 medicines and a few other things like wheelchairs, which you would need and the cost of that the central package equipment medicine. and steph isn't actually that high. you can calculate that are low income country, foreign, middle income country, and for a high income country. and you will find that all these settings would probably be able to afford that. i was a bit astonished when we produce that report because we thought that in

once we get so we need to get extra supplies. if there's no electricity of fuel for generators, pump water, we cannot week long outages. it's very difficult, especially in the summer we already have so much to deal with. we are very tired of the extra tanks often filled up by private water. companies have been springing up on roofs. all oversight and water has become so precious. in fact, that people have started locking their tanks out of fear that neighbors might steal from them. most families here inside and used to require just one water tank like those that you can see right behind me. but now they're not enough. so at least 4 tanks are required for household. and it's important to note that each of those tanks needs at least 6 hours of electricity or generator in order to pump that water, all the way up and fill up those tanks. but now with the fuel crisis and the power outages that lebanon is constantly facing, most of these tanks do not fill up. the un is already raising the alarm, seeing that the countries water system i

but we need more than that. we need the sort of passion we saw in the testimonies here. in terms of statistics, i think all of us struggle to find the right statistics to explain this to people read the one i found as effective as any is that, if you look at the 180 thousand americans who lost their lives from covid-19 in may alone, less than 1% had been reported as fully vaccinated. that means 99% of those who died in may had vaccines available by and large and does not to get vaccinated, and paid the ultimate price. not to mention their families, not to mention those who became sick and are going to live with a potentially lifelong covid. hard to measure, hard to quantify, but it is going to be the reality for probably millions of americans. so it is time to get the shot here. vaccines are a public health issue and does everyone has mentioned, they should not be a partisan issue. this morning, my colleague on this committee, dr. miller meeks and i, published a joint op-ed in "usa today" urging all americans to get vaccinated. i asked for unanimous consent that the op-e

that would be helpful because it would introduce important things that we need to do and we need to look at. i hope that this is the beginning of a few hearings. this is a big subject that has been neglected for so many years and now we see we are in a bind with our senior citizens. so thank you, very, very much for your remarks. and now the next witness is professor lillian. professor of taxation and a great university, georgetown. are you there? >> i'm here. thank you. can you hear me? >> it's all yours. >> excellent. ranking member and members of the subcommittee, thank you for inviting me to testify. i'm honored to be here. a professor of law at georgetown where i teach and write about federal income tax policy and international taxation. as a tax expert, my goal today isn't to advocate for a particular policy but instead to talk about the designed choices congress makes when crafting tech tax policy. when designing tax incentives, there are three fundamental questions congress should ask. first, is it helping the americans. second, is it creating an incentive for the behavior congre

we need more technologists and we need people to maintain them. there is enormous competition for top-of-the-line technologists. the top-tier technologies would be challenged and so i applaud your bill and hope it's authorized but there is a broad government in terms of attracting and keeping the topline technologies. top line technologies. i think that that is an issue. >> in your testimony you discuss discussed whether the legislation is important with respect to the role as a nation in driving the global regulatory agenda. could you explain that a little bit? >> the office of technologies at the commission. >> we made the observation that we need to compete globally as well as with companies that are based here in the united states and we need to ramp up our level of expertise in the technology area and as the professor pointed out, we need to figure out how not to just hire technologists but to maintain them as well. i think that there is a certain personality type that likes public service and we can probably never compete with some of the sa

our families need it. our children need it. supervisors, please support for families in our community. >> good afternoon i'm janet and i live in san francisco. with this video i ask that the acoa overnight proposal be approved to rent a safe home in san francisco. it is difficult to have housing for ourselves and our families. rents are very expensive. sometimes you have to be renting in a very small places or rooms sharing with other families. in my case, i'm a single mother and there are not many places because there are only single working people who don't want families. it is very difficult for a single person to pay for rent. i ask your support for proposition c. i ask that this community process be respected. thank you very much. >> hello. i live in the mission district. i'm taping this video to advocate for full approval of the oversight committee proposal. renting safe housing in san francisco is very difficult for low income families and families have been applying more than 10 years until we finally got a home we coul

people know me and because i know what we need. i know what they need to be successful. >> i have known jeanine nicholson since we worked together at station 15. i have always held her in the highest regard. since she is the chief she has infused the department with optimism. she is easy to approach and is concerned with the firefighters and paramedics. i appreciate that she is concerned with the issues relevant to the fire department today. >> there is a retired captain who started the cancer prevention foundation 10 years ago because he had cancer and he noticed fellow firefighters were getting cancer. he started looking into it. in 2012 i was diagnosed with breast canner, and some of my fellow firefighters noticed there are a lot of women in the san francisco fire department, premenopausal in their 40s getting breast cancer. it was a higher rate than the general population. we were working with workers comp to make it flow more easily for our members so they didn't have to worry about the paper work when they go through chemo. t

we need to figure out a way to break up this duopoly. the biggest duopoly that we have is between the two party systems and the fact of the matter is this book is meant as a nonpartisan book. it's political but it's not about political parties. it's about a system that is broken, so we need to figure out a way to get rid of that stranglehold because the government has that control under the purview of both parties. so we just need a list to be done elsewhere and i know if you are somebody that likes freedom and liberty and you just want to be left alone but unfortunately, freedom is something that we have to actively preserve and we have done a poor job in a lot of areas. we've done good on areas like the second amendment, but other areas we have done a poor job so i feel like we need to push back and i also feel like we need to use the legal system more. a lot of people that donate spend a lot of time to try to put somebody in to create more laws and do those things. we need to challenge the things on the books already. how many when it

need to pick up the pace -- and we need to pick up the pace. senator lummis: in your testimony, you talked about non-usa entities standing up. can you elaborate on the kind quinces -- elaborate on the consequences of non-usa entities taking leadership in this area? and sometimes, for viewers on c-span, we use acronyms to the point where we don't know what we are talking about. space situational awareness refers to tracking and identifying all objects in earth orbit. this is really important as we are launching more and more. so this is really important today. mr. graziani: absolutely, many nations throughout the world really want to take a key role in ssa and space traffic management. there are a lot of reasons -- national sovereignty, being able to control and understand what is going on using your own assets, those are issues. i then, there are military issues -- and then, there are military issues. space situational awareness has military applications. so if it goes to an adversary like china or russia rather than an ally like japan or the e

what, what needs to happen? social media companies including facebook, instagram, twitter, as say they're committed of course to tackling all forms of online abuse. and they point out that they've invested in systems and processes that result in better monitoring and detection. but obviously this hasn't been entirely effective. what else needs to happen to change his type of behavior? well, go back to what i need to said, not totally agree with. there are 3 fundamental parts of when an incident of racism occurs that have to be followed through. one is the reporting of the incident. what we find is the vast majority of incidence aren't reported because there is no trust within any system that is capable to deal effectively with the incident. so having one the vehicle to report to and everyone knows that's where you report incidence racial abuse to 2nd is an investigative process that is independent of the best stakeholders on the store for rent. they can place all the evidence around the incident. and then thirdl

and who might need a booster shot. i want to be clear, the science will guide this. this is a question that they are continually evaluating. we are ready for whatever the science tells us. we have secured enough vaccine supply, and if needed we will ensure americans who might need a booster shot are able to get it quickly and easily. the best thing we can do right now is to get more americans vaccinated. every person matters. every shot matters. every shot is progress. it is another life protected. it is another community that is safer. it is another step toward putting this pandemic behind us. now let me turn it over to dr. murphy. dr. murphy: thanks so much, jeff. it is great to be with you all again. we have talked about barriers to getting vaccinated. today, i want to focus on a challenge that is affecting millions of americans. yesterday, i issued a surgeon general's advisory on the dangers of health misinformation. surgeon general's advisories are related to threats. today, we live in a world where misinformation
