states. as we discuss the bipartisan -- this bipartisan success story, i think it's important to acknowledge the significant role our committee played in drafting this legislation. last may after months of hard work, our committee unanimously reported out surface transportation re-authorization bill by a vote of 22-0 but before that happened, some of you know that the new president just went into office, asked me to pull together a small group of democrats and republicans off this committee to discuss the need for infrastructure legislation, roads, highways, bridges, as well as waterways, flood control. and it turns out a week or so after that, senator capito, senator cardin, senator inhofe and i joined the president and you -- you joined us remotely, mr. secretary. kamala harris, our vice president, was there in person. and the president called for us to -- as a committee that's known to work together on legislation to actually try to enact bipartisan legislation that focused on infrastructu

and state broadband initiatives. they have different requirements and the cities and towns across new hampshire are looking for assurances that there will be effective coordination among the states and the various federal agencies and ministering broadband programs. that coordination will be very important to serve more people and stretch the dollars further. we also know creating low cost options for reliable high-speed internet is crucial. we look forward to hearing how the department plans to work with states to develop the proposals as mandated by the bipartisan infrastructure law. these challenges are just the tip of the iceberg, but i would like you, madam secretary, to know that we on the subcommittee stand ready to assist the department as it executes these investments. it's no exaggeration to say these investments will transform the lives of tens of millions of americans. madam secretary, we know you understand as well and we very much look forward to your testimony this afternoon. with that, let me recogniz

public why the united states has a duty to impose sanctions on russia but also state on the side of allies and the west as we have done throughout the 20th century. thinking back to old war two and that era. he will need to explain why u.s. sanctions towards russia will impact the u.s. public in terms of the economy and gas prices and inflation, why those are valuable and necessary. the third crisis is the current state of the u.s. economy and inflation, we are seeing a four year high and that is imposing significant challenges for the biden administration and also thinking about the midterm elections. finally, i would argue we are in the midst of defining what american democracy is going to look like. if we can consider and think to previous examples of state of the union addresses, we expect to hear the sergeant at arm's introducing the president, see them walk down the aisle, it should not be lost on any of us that 14 months ago the images that we saw of that gallery, the house gallery were of rioters who were attacking the u.s. and attempting to undermine a free and fair presidential e

we are an old state and a multi-season state, things ate quickly. we are looking forward to having those funds and using the policy -- and using the big wants dig once policy. with the labor shortage that everybody is seeing and supply chain issues, every time we want to bid on a project, we are getting higher bids than our estimates. we are trying to parse that out so that we do not put all of the money out of the door too quickly. i hope and trust that the federal government will be flexible in how that money is parsed out so that we can simply fixed 10 roads over here and no roads over here. with the expansion of dollars that we are getting rid of when to thank the administration for the open-door policy that you have had for the states and we welcome continued dialogue. >> you thank you, on the latter point, i agree that we should be -- we thank you and on the latter point, i agree that we should be careful on using federal dollars. when the stimulus act passed, the goal was getting as many dollars pumped into the economy as quickly as humanly p

you declared a state of emergency over the homelessness situation in the state. affordable housing, six years later, continues to be a problem. it is a serious problem in many counties. median home prices are over $1 million. this is a state where renters spend more than 30% of their monthly income on housing. what should hawaii be doing differently to meet this challenge? >> housing and homelessness has been a top priority of my administration since taking office. we knew that supply was a critical component of that. we established in the first year a goal of completing 10,000 new housing units by 2020 and i am proud of the fact we hit that goal. in fact, we added 3000 more by the end of this year. in total, since becoming governor, we have completed more than 11,200 housing units, of which 8000 of those were affordable rentals. one concern we have had in the past was an affordable home for sale is only affordable the first time. once someone acquires it, the price of the home goes to market rate and that is one reason we focused on affordable rentals. we do kno

ah, what you was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control per harbor. because of hawaii's location, it's central central in the central pacific. so there's a central location that ships could enter hawaii ports after disarming, refurbish, leave home ports, re arm, and go back fighting a battle for coordination of the invasion of wine island by money, by greed. and so he, with installation represents all the things that was happening and willing to meet 1819 and 930. so what we see rising out of the last out of the ocean are the giant monsters that are asked to read with documentation of annexation of documentation. that basically saying we're right is what we are, we're the inevitable truth. and there actually, so it's also up again that the high saying that from the newspapers that was being cleaned, never ca, we've developed an unusual a point of view of the world because of our location. we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada. therefore, we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear co operation with other

and bradley certainly for san diego state. and those two guys are going up against one another on both ends of the court. kevin, interestingly enough, san diego state has shot the ball very well here in the second half. they've had eight misses but no offensive rebounds after 12 offensive boards in the first half. kevin: it's butler on top. works around shaver. penetrates inside. there's a foul. and marcus shaver of boise state is assessed his third personal foul. dan: and another interesting thing, kevin, if this comes down to who can make free throws, disaik state is a better free throw shooting team but not a great free throw shooting team and shoot under 70%. kevin: we talked about bradley. pulliam. shot here, butler, got the three. big-time triple. lamont butler. he's got 16. he averages seven a game. and now the pressure turned up by the aztecs. and the broncos get a pass midcourt and approaching four to play. >> butler is a 29% three-point shooter and 3-3 today. kevin: and a big, big game. they're playing twister on the

with state bank. i think i mentioned that insurance companies need places to put their money so they put them in, they're friendly local bank and they buy shares in their friendly local bank. so these numbers of charters often attracts very closely together and often the same guy will have a hand in both local corporations at the beginning, they are often political allies. they found the same kinds of corporations. what's interesting is is how corporations lose their partisan flavor because states find it easier to chart new corporations than to try to compound the old ones. everybody just sort of decides that proliferation's of banks insurance companies are in their best interests. so insurance companies investment banks, banks do a lot of services for insurance companies. they, so if a merchant essentially pays for an insurance policy with an iou and then the, which he has to pay what his ship comes in essentially. it's really it's a legally binding iou, the insurance takes it to the bank, stashes i

sie came into the united states becoming secretary of state. si: came into the united states as becoming secretary of state. sij: came into the united states as a child, herfamily fleeing child, her family fleeing persecution child, herfamily fleeing persecution at the hands of the nazis at first and then the communists. and she worked her way up, she worked in the carter administration as a foreign policy adviser. she was a professor at georgetown when i was a student there and the early 90s and even then she had a reputation as a sound foreign policy mind. she advised democratic presidential candidate michael dukakis and bill clinton on foreign policy and bill clinton selected her to be his first us ambassador to the united nations. she played a vital role in the clinton administration foreign policy, what she said was a sort of multilateralism, and active us foreign policy, she espoused expansion of nato, and she was named —— made by bill clinton to become the first woman secretary of state after warren christopher left early in his pres

article six of the convention states that "any state party to this convention, which finds that any state party is acting in breach of obligations deriving from the provisions of the convention may launch a complaint with the security council. if agreed by the security council, an investigation on the basis of the complaint received could be initiated." article six of the convention has never been activated. while these provisions have not been regularly used, they are nonetheless internationally agreed procedures that are available to be used to defuse tensions and to address and resolve any concerns relating to compliance with obligations under the bwc and the multinational setting. i would therefore encourage state parties to consider making use of the available procedures for consultation and cooperation in order to resolve these issues. madam president, distinguished members of the security council, situations such as this demonstrate the need to strengthen the bwc, to operationalize it and institutionalize it. i would therefore like to take this opportunity to encourage its state pa

all of the honest authorities and states, especially democratic states. at the end of our conversation, i mentioned the fact that we wanted to boost our security in poland. thanks to the purchase of american equipment for our armed forces, there are ongoing programs. the program of the bridges of f-35, the purchase of tanks. the programs should be accelerated because you want to provide state-of-the-art equipment to our armed forces as soon as possible. there is a need and i think everyone can see that. able to witness dramatic scenes unfolding in ukraine. every day in the media, you can see the horrifying scenes. we are able to witness the determination of the ukrainian people. we are going to support them with all our strength. at the same time, providing security of our country. once again, thank you very much, madame vice president, for coming to warsaw. thank you for this demonstration that we stand together and we are a community of freedom and security. >> i would like to give the floor to the madame vice president of the united states, kamala harr

and earlier this year, governor reynolds delivered the iowa state of the state address. here's a little bit of what she had to say. >> two years ago, about the time they were moving to iowa, i stand here before you at the beginning of a new decade. i talked about how far we have come in 10 years about how we have gone from a time when families lost their life savings, iowa ones lost their jobs, and our state government lost control of its budget. to a time of record low unemployment, a budget surplus, and record investments in k-12 education. but most importantly, i talked about a vision for our future. about the need to be bold. to show the world that iowa truly is the state of opportunity. the pandemic delayed some of our efforts. but it certainly didn't change your direction. in the last eight months alone, we have invested $300 million more in broadband. strengthens funding for mental health. by making it more sustainable. made our community safer and supported our law enforcement. encouraged quality housing. extended and expanded our water quality efforts. repealed

state department. how does the state department know if somebody is lgbtqi+? because we cannot ask that when we hire anybody. i'm generally on —- genuinely curious to know. >> is also helpful to know so i can pace my questions over the sign that we have. i don't know if the number exist to your first question how many diplomats do we have being denied credentials? and i don't know because not everyone chooses to disclose their sexual orientation or sexual characteristics and those that think disclosure will not lead to the results that they want, they may not choose to disclose. >> do we know that there is at least one right now? we have at least one individual from our state department one death diplomat that is denied credentials or do we not even know that much? >> bringing up accreditation come i have an adjacent relationship to the issues of human resources but it's not squarely one of the issues that i work on so that i would have to get back to you make a mistake about data collection it is to

, the great state of alaska. he could hold his own in debates with the best minds in the world and even hold a knife to the throat of the speaker of the house, not you, madam speaker, we know that was speaker boehner, who later would become don's best man when he married his beloved ann. he was authentic and tough but also a man with a big heart. and of course, he was a man of the people and he belonged in the peoples' house, a place where bills move fast, where elections are right around the corner and where the action is. he realized when he served in the alaska state senate that it wasn't for him. don once said all those senators, they just stand around with their hands behind their back and all they do is talk. his attitude about the u.s. senate wasn't much different. you senators are always late, he would often growl at me and lisa, and we were late, when we had frequent alaska delegation meetings. but even as senators, we knew our place with congressman don young, dean of the house. all the alaska delegatio

in my first state of the state i inherited a billion dollar budget deficit to close out and a $2 billion deficit for the year that started july 1st. today as i stand here before you, we have hundreds of millions in surplus and even more in current access and billions in funding through the rescue plan and infrastructure investment and jobs act. it adds up to an opportunity to transform the state through pivotal investments in every level of education, infrastructure projects that for decades have been dreams, long-overdue pay raises for the most dedicated workers and combating the effects of climate change. it all adds up to a once in a generation opportunity to shape the future and we must take advantage of it. it's not an exaggeration to say the choices that will be made over the next three months will have a lasting legacy for the state. we have to get this right. shaping the future always begins with education so the budget has included $31.7 million from faculty pay raises, 10.5 million for the foster promise program fund created by president cortez just last year, 97.2 million for

the result was a wonderful state. a country -- in every ranking, outranks your country, the united states, my country, greece, when it comes to education, to democracy, to technological innovation remember, nokia the great companies that came out of finland. finland is a success story. neutrality allowed finland to have democracy, independence, and success and shared prosperity, similarly with switzerland and austria. it is a well tested model. the reason that ukraine has not had the same opportunities so far, because some people would say they gave up their nuclear weapons and not in nato, therefore they were neutral. nevertheless, they suffered incursions and how this invasion by mr. putin. well, it was not the same. what ukraine lacks is a summit, a summit between the american president and the russian president. a summit involving the government of the united states and the government of russia. this is what finland had, what austria had. the two blocs represented by president of the soviet union and the american

that and i quote, any state party to this convention which finds that any other state party is acting in breach of, of negations, deriving from the provisions of a convention. may most complaint with the security council. if agreed by the security council, an investigation on the basis of the complaint a complaint received could be any c h it article 6 of the convention has never been activated. while these provisions have not been regularly used, they are nonetheless internationally agreed procedures that are available to be used to diffuse tensions and to address and resolve any concerns relating to compliance with obligations under the b, w. c. in the multilateral setting, i would therefore encourage b. w. c, state parties to consider make, making use of the available procedures for consultation and corporation. in order to resolve these issues. madam president, the senior members of the security council. situations such as dis, demonstrate the need to strengthen the b, w. c. to operationalize it, and to institutionalize it. i would therefore like to take this opportunity to encour

aspect of the state of union addresses. we experience in the beginning with harry truman that they are televised and lyndon johnson is the president who brings them into prime time. we imagine or at pictures in our minds of what the stage for the setting of the state and union address will look like. so i thinknk it's important as viewers are watching this state of union address the biden will deliver is to consider how we compare what biden does to previous instances of the state of union address. it's not insignificant i would argue that biden is in this place that has become this hallowed sanctum of democracy we can envision or imagine in previous moment for example, fdr standing behind that podium and respond to the attacks of pearl harbor, or we can think again most recently about the address that biden delivered last april 1 time that he spoke to a joint session of congress. it was notable because a small number of members of the congress were invited to sit socially distanced and mast because of covid. so as we think

so i used state constitutional conventions state constitutions. there was a hundred and fifty five different state constitutional conventions in our history. they provide a wealth of insight into what constitutional convention conversations would have looked like at various times in american history. sure. they're at the state level and nationalizing them would have been a little different but then but state constitutions and state constitutional conventions talk about the same thing that of federal constitutional conventions would have talked about power rights liberties equality things like that values and so on so i took that as part of the data constitutional amendment supreme court cases. these were all part of the story that i that i crafted for each individual convention. and as i write in the bottom here my conventions the the various chapters are in narrative form their storytelling i talk about people who were alive at the time and would have been invited to the constitutional convention they stood for and so on. so without further ado,

what do you think the state of the union is? what did you think of president biden's speech at the republican response. michael in lititz, pennsylvania, make your comment. it helps if i push the button. michael, i am sorry about that. new at this. caller: [laughter] it is all right. folks, biden's speech was like speed reading an angry speech. he was talking over applause, which i have never seen before. it was like he wanted to get it over as quickly as he could so he could get on the floor to start shaking hands. peter: did he bring up a policy issue that resonated with you or that you disagreed with? caller: i will tell you what. a lot of it, the policies seemed to be trump policies. he was talking about lowering drug prices. from the very start and his administration, he was raising the price of insulin. you hear him talking about the wall, working on the wall, the border, talking about buy america. to me, that sounds like trump policies. especially, then he is bringing up we need to fund the police. at that point in the spe

but what did the united states do? we went in anyway. besides your military, industrial complex or neo cons, like the dick cheney's and the lockheed martin's of the world. no one wants a war. because at the end of it all, we don't want another world war. and another 2nd last on that doomsday o'clock. we begin tonight at the european union, where e u. lawmakers are weighing in on slapping more sanctions against russia as the conflict and ukraine rages on. for a more in depth look at what could be in store. here's our t, charlotte davinsky and paris. views this war in ukraine from very different i used to how it's being seen in moscow. we know that you is said to be preparing even more sanctions against russia in the wake of this war. this invasion as they describe in you, in ukraine. and they said that the sanctions have already had a massive impact on the russian economy. we know that the rubel has tanked in the last few days and that there are many people trying to get hold of a savings that banks and saying that they

states are critical partners. we know what it's like we are not going to succeed unless we are supporting the states. it's honestly, i think it's the most important thing that we're going to build here. that we are building here now. and that is that state support system. so we are going to have a federal program officers that were hiding right now all sorts of bunch of new ones, who we test with working with each state so there is somebody here, and the state of michigan knows, they can reach out for you they can reach out to you for any of the technical questions. it's like a operator standing by type thing. they will know who to reach out to here, that will be something here every day, and it's like how do i make michigan succeed. you will know who that person is and we're hoping that we can use you and the rest of the members of the subcommittee of congress, as a whole government approach to reach out the communities in need. we know different states are different places on this, and i'm not even sure if it's

let's start by talking about the governor's state of the state this week. we just heard about the republican response to that. what stood out for you most about this beach? >> any time a democrat is talking about tax rebates is worth noting, this is the only news of the speech, the governor saying he would like to take what is going to be probably a record surplus and put some of that back to the pockets of california driver's. as you noted he is also saying we are not giving up on climate change, this is not, we are not moving backward but obviously the people hurting most from this kind of order the least that's a big thing the governor and democrats at large are trying to kind of head off as we head into the midterm election year. otherwise, priya, it was a very much focus on the parties yard he had including homelessness, including early education, and like you said, not a lot of news. we will know more in me when the revised budget comes out in the details of the tax rebate are actually enrolled. >> we also get a clear picture of what that surplus look

so we are just russian states, tv, about, or nuclear strikes against poland or against the baltic states. so we have to consider that roman we are hearing about increasing disillusion within russia. we hear about protests. we hear about pushback, for example, from the board of the luke oil oil company. surprisingly enough. will any of that make a difference briefly if you would, i think yes, i'm hearing the reports from russia. that makes me think russia probably underestimated how quick the response from the west will be on the economic front and how heavy it will hit russia because there are only already. ready shortages of spare, pos, shortages of medicine, and the russians are really shocked at western companies are leaving russia. i think they didn't consider that. let me quickly a come back to the topic of western unity and solidarity and bring in a, a excerpt from president biden's state of the union speech this week. many people feel that the ukraine conflict has reset the button on the transit land of unity in a way that few would have believed possible. just a year ago. put lat

it happens here in the states. changing our own rules will be an extremely good start to pushing back. there is no reason why americans need to have -- phone companies or property anonymously or why anyone else should be able to do that either. i think the international financial markets are now part of foreign policy in a way they didn't used to be. i hope we will consider making changes at home and getting our allies to do the same. that's the best way to not just sanction people, but -- >> it seems to me that we dramatically underfund these initiatives. when they would be as powerful and in some cases more powerful than what we do at the department of defense. if we succeeded this, we would be less lucky to find ourselves in the need of conflict. is that a fair statement? >> can i point out that the chinese and russians both spend an inordinate amount of money to support -- subvert and we can democracy around the world. it is central to their strategy as authoritarian great powers. we should take the fact that t

they are chartered by the states and incorporated by the states and the states give them charters so they can be legal corporations and that is, in itself, a deal that the u.s., that the state governments are making with groups of merchants. the deal is that the insurers get their corporation, which allows them to accumulate capital in a variety of convenient ways and pass bylaws that affect its members and what they're getting from the united states government is sort of this, what's the word? this endorsement from the government that says they are safe and secure and so then the insurers are doing all of these good things on behalf of the american merchant fleet in a way they're sort of repaying this bet that state governments have made on them. so, in general, american insurers that pay off, they make huge amounts of money during this uncertain period. they make money off the federal bonds that they invest in. they get political security from their charters. the legal regime is sort of formed in a way that suits their interest. and under a regime of relatively low taxation, americ

ah, what you was taken by the united states were invaded in order for the united states to control per harbor. because of hawaii's location, it's central central in the central pacific. so there's a central location that ships enter. hawaii ports after disarming, refurbish, leave home ports, re arm, and go back fighting a metaphor who it was engaged in wine island by money, by greed. and so he, with relation to represent all the things that was happening and won't be 1819 and 930. so what we see rising out of the land out of the ocean are these giant monsters that are asked to read with documentation of allocation of documentation. that basically saying we're right is what we are. we're the inevitable truth. and there was also, again that the pi same that from the newspapers that was being cleaned. never huh. we've developed an unusual a point of view of the world because of our location. we have huge oceans and a couple of weak neighbors in mexico and canada. therefore, we've never had to have a foreign policy of clear co operation with others. we've been able because of our power to

we know this first half in the united states. what's interesting is ukraine present ability to leverage the fact that their internet remains up and running and they are able to nationalize from president zelenskyy, this response in this call to action through social media platforms and you really get the country to respond in a weight that is never been seen before. >> i want to ask you about we just had another member of parliament on and she echoes multiple members of parliament are all asking about this no-fly zone. you are at the white house today and jen psaki saying no way we will get involved with that, shooting russian planes out of the sky. the last mp that i had on said it could be magnetic pulses, electromagnetic pulses and something like that. clearly that is the one thing that these ukrainian lawmakers are baking us to get involved in and it sells like there is no way that request will be granted . >> shannon, i would say if i'm calling on all the leaders in the senate and the president to sit down and discuss every
