china's loss would be america's gain. an influx of hong kongers with their knowledge, skills, money, entrepreneurship, with the deep cultural and economic ties to the u.s. would be a social and economic boon for the united states. yet currently hong kongers have limited ways of coming to the u.s. applying for political asylum requires you to be physically in the u.s. on a student visa or tourist visa. securing this visa can be difficult and has been difficult because of the pandemic and even harder because of travel and exit bans on hong kong and the increased likelihood of bail being denied to activists that have been charged. hong kong could apply for refugee status outside of the u.s. and the administration has allocated spots specifically to hong kongers. but increased surveillance by police and security forces put these activists at heightened risk of arrests. that's why the provisions involving a safe harbor act is so critical. hong kongers facing prosecutions require multiple ways to safety which is why i encourage

of donald trump and he was he was part and parcel acting not only as the chief judicial response for america but he also acted as though he was the personal lawyer in p.r. person for president trump and i think that a lot of the things that came that come with that are him actually getting involved in things that we haven't seen attorney generals get ball with in the in the past and that's going to be tough for him especially since he didn't go out shouting against donald trump on his way out even though. we know what was going to fire him be a plant on fire and we talked about firing him bill barr to his credit he went out still trying to represent this man in the best light he possibly could and i'm not so sure that's going to play well for him and his future see i disagree i think that is going to be one of those situations where he if he if he if with the like you said if he kind of relegate some self to the background maybe a few speaking engagement things like that over the next 22 years washington seems to have a very short memory if you told me having like grown up and being a marley

the opioid crisis in rural america is a rural america crisis, as is the climate crisis with droughts, floods, wiping out crops in small towns. farmers and small businesses in small towns are reeling with the pandemic and the economic downturn. tom knows how to get immediate relief to those most in need and address the crises -- not one, the crises, facing rural america. he knows how to build back better for all americans. he helped develop my rural plan for america in the campaign, and he now has the dubious distinction of having it carried out. it's a good plan. that includes making american agriculture the first in the world to achieve net zero missions and to create new income for farmers in the process, use the soil to capture carbon, and it will ensure that usda promotes true racial equality and inclusion. he recognizes the history of discrimination and will root it out wherever it exists. i've known tom for a long time, and i'm confident he'll get it done. for secretary of housing and urban development, i am really pleased to nominate congresswoman marcia fudge, who i might add
