Our nation recently observed the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of september 11, 2001. Nearly two decades later we continue to mourn the nearly 3,000 lives lost that terrible day and keep their loved ones in our prayers. This committee and the department of Homeland Security were established in the wake of 9 11 to help prevent future attacks on our soil. Regardless of who was chairman weve held regular hearings examining worldwide threats with leaders from the department of Homeland Security, fbi, and National Counter Terrorism Center.

Unfortunately as we see from the empty chair in front of us mr. Wolf is not here to represent the department of Homeland Security. Let me be clear about how we got here. The committee began engaging with the department over three months ago to secure participation alongside his col
I am Amanda Glassman is senior fellow and executive price president at cdc. Today we will be talking about death and data in low and middle Income Countries from covid19 and all other causes.

How is it possible to assess whether Subsaharan African countries are winning the fight against covid if a large share of total deaths and noncovid years go unreported or how to judge the trajectory of pakistan during covid19 if no mortality data of any kind is being ripped ported in the Public Domain according to dub a joes 2019 mortality report. Today will be talking about one strategy and mortality

Freedom Coalition Founder ralph reed who over the next two hours will be talking your calls and comments. His books include act of faith and for god and country which was published earlier this year. Host author ralph reeding when we asked you what some of your books are, the first one you listed was the bible. Is the bible a political book . Guest i dont think of it that way. Certainly, it has instruction about Civic Affairs and politics and how we order our societies, but i for me, obviously, the bible is primarily the revelation of gods man and principles for humanity and the best huawei to know best way to know the keys to living a godly life with intimacy with him. And if you believe in the new testament, as i do, his son, jesus christ. I also think as a trained historian its one of the most important history books that youll ever read.
