No youth in this country should experience homelessness: we just need to find ways to address their situation.

I'm committed to continuing that work and would look forward to doing so.

In Nevada, 85 percent of the land is owned by the Federal Government, and 60 percent of that is managed by the BLM.

The Interior Department must be focused and be a present partner.

It will require BLM to prioritize permitting and realty applications.

What has the Administration done to raise awareness of these flexibilities among entities like legal aid organizations that help clients navigate SSA benefits?

My concern during this pandemic and the challenges that we have seen for children particularly, the isolation and not being in normal school, that has impacted their mental health.

I really appreciate the conversation today.

How many have been trained?

I want to ensure that we are doing everything we can to support our Native communities.

I understand. I am telling you they have, and so I appreciate that, but as somebody that now is making you aware of it, I would assume--maybe I should not assume--that you should be concerned about it.

As a former Attorney General, I have to be concerned about those individuals who are out there that literally are using it to skirt around State laws.

In the FDIC's 2019 How America Banks survey, 5.7 percent of Nevada households had taken out a payday loan. That is the highest in the Nation.

The OCC Rule will predictably spur the proliferation of rent-a-bank schemes by nonbank lenders in order to evade both State interest rate caps and other State consumer protection laws.

Flexibility for new zero-emission facilities to utilize either a production tax credit or an investment tax credit is critical.

Nevada is primed with its innovation on this new technology really to create jobs, lead in this technological age, and contribute economically and reduce our carbon footprint.

I think it is so important that we make these investments now in the infrastructure that is necessary to utilize the technology that is going to bring us to a cleaner environment.

I am very proud of Nevada. It is leading the way in electric vehicle innovation production, and I am proud to support that.

I have a bill that is called the End Speculative Oil and Gas Leasing Act, and it prohibits leasing on lands with no or low potential for development.

I appreciate what you are saying. I just, I needed to understand that the Executive Order is not impacting those leases.

I believe it is critical that we absolutely look at this for emerging technologies.

I am working on legislation to establish this interagency task force that will develop really a strategy for emerging technology standard setting.

We need to transition those skills to the jobs of the future in this new kind of innovation economy with green energy.

We are not retraining them because they already have the skills.

I think coming from Nevada, 14 percent of the people that live in Nevada are organized labor.
