These public investments are not enough. Particularly when it comes to equity investment. Thats what were going to talk about today. In particular, want to bring to light a set of investments from treasury through states, the state Small Business Credit Initiative. This is a unique opportunity with public funds to connect communities of color and other underserved communities with the highgrowth Equity Capital. How do we do it . We know that the pipelines are not there. We do that this market is not serving communities of color very well. You all know the statistics im sure the folks watching online show the statistics that black founders are getting 1. 2 of venture funding that latinx companies are getting 2. 1 and women founders 2 . Of that 2 , only 1. 8 of that went to women of color. Keep in mind, Venture Capital is just a small slice of the Equity Capital that is available yet we know that these early infusions particularly from low wealth communities that are already starting fro
Mr. Cornyn mr. President , id ask unanimous consent that the quorum call be rescinded. The presiding officer without objection, the quorum call is suspended. Mr. Cornyn mr. President , as we continue this weeks votearama and executive branch nominations, i want to remind the American People how we got here today. And what it means to the future of our great country and our system of government. Over the last five years, president obama and his administration have repeatedly bent the law to serve their own purposes in a way that really i think is unprecedented in my experience. We saw this when he gave special treatment to Union Pension funds during the chrysler bankruptcy process. We saw it again during the solyndra bankruptcy. And we saw it when president obama unilaterally announced a moratorium on the enforcement of certain immigration laws. We saw it when the administration unilaterally issued waivers from the 1996 welfare real estate form act and the 2002 in child left behind law.

People to deliver a message of friendship and hope and love. That is why i chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the muslim world, to the nation that serves as custodian of the two holiest sites in the islamic faith. I also promise that america will not seek to impose our way of life on others but to outstretch our hands in the spirit of cooperation and trust. Above all, america seeks peace, not war. Muslim nations must be willing to take on the burden if we are going to defeat terrorism and send its wicked idealogy into e oblivion. I will travel to jerusalem and bethlehem and then to the vatican, visiting many of the holiest places inhe thr abrahamic faiths. If these three faiths can join together in cooperation, then peace in this world is possible, including peace between israelis and palestinians. All right, so a lot to dive into for this hour. I want to go straight to riyadh, saudi arabia. Hallie jackson joins us now. Ive been seeing tweets about whether Rex
