where you stand on the issues, c-span is america's network. unfiltered, unbiased, word for word. if it happens here or here or here or anywhere that matters. america is watching on c-span. powered by cable. >> washington journal continues. host: police, crime, analyte law and order issues were in the news this week as we learned about the fbi search of former president trump's home in florida. we also saw democrats take a pause on policing legislation over intraparty dispute about accountability language. our question to you is, what party do you trust most on these law & order issues? i will go over the lines one more time. democrats dial (202) 748-8000.

republicans can call us at (202) 748-8001, independence is (202) 748-8002. you can text us at (202) 748-8003. you can find us on twitter at c-spanwj and on instagram at c-spanwj, let us get to some of your calls. on the democratic line, dale in birmingham, alabama. good morning. caller: good morning. i was just calling to say, i am very much supporting the way the world is going today. i do trust the democrats more than the republicans on the law & order, i really do appreciate

democrats. but they did in florida was in the interest of matter -- national security. i do not care if it was barack obama. if they do wrong, they do wrong. let us step back and look at the issue, rather than us being a republican or democrat. we need to show love for each one. i have white neighbors that i truly love. i would go to bat for them if they were right. the same way i would do if it was the black people. if they were doing right, i would be at that for them. i am a person that wants to do with what is right or wrong, and republicans in their heart no --know that what trump did was wrong. it was wrong for him to take the papers away from the building.

all the republicans know and president trump knew that obama did not do that. host: the next caller is edward in keyport, new jersey on the independent line. caller: thank you. good morning. i am going to have to go with the democrats on this one. they at least want to try something different. we have already locked everybody up, play that out. 3 million people in jail and we still have the situation. i want to ask anybody if they have a number, if they think 10 million people in prison will solve the crime issue. as far as the document issue, that is just a trump set up. i think he wants to dehumanize the fbi, the typical fascist play. the very people who will be

fighting the insurgency are going to be the fbi. the federal agents. they want to create his people as an m&a, demonize them -- enemy, demonize them. domestic terrorists. look up your history and find out what was going on -- not the characters of hitler's and mussolini, way to look up the social interaction of the people in those situations, it and how they were duped into doing the things they did. typical fascist playbook. i'm going to trust the democrats all the way, hopefully they can stand and deliver and move us to the 21st century. in k. -- thank you. host: next from arizona his mark on the republican line. caller: good morning. host: good morning. caller: i think i trust the

republicans more than i did the democrats for what seems to be obvious reasons. you look at what the democrats have done to president trump since he became president and all of the investigations and the effort to run him down, because they do not like him. i voted for president trump because he was a politician that -- not like the normal politicians. he was able to be more dynamic and more real, down-to-earth and more real, down-to-earth in the way he would talk to be will. i think republicans do better on law & order, although they have their own baggage and always

have, along with the democrats. when you talk about looking at the socialist, fascist regimes of nazi germany and around the world, they have all been socialist. when people come talking about the republicans is fascist, i think they need to look at the socialist. host: next, we have stand in new york on the democrat line. caller: the bottom line is, i do not trust either party. there has to be a needed to talk to each other and come up with a common solution. it brings back memories when i was trying to do a phd. one of the things they came away with was this is three institutions. family, religion, education.

they are in sync with each other , things on the bouquet. that has not been the case. -- things will be ok. that has not been the case. crisis points and that conversation about the book they wrote, about how to work together to come up with a common solution. it would be nice if we could make it nonpolitical and just try to come up with a solution that makes sense. you do not need to keep everybody in prison, because that does not necessarily solve everything area the same token, you need to be able to analyze who should be in prison and who should not be in prison. thank you very much love c-span. you are the greatest thing on the face of the earth. host: maxine from michigan is on the independent line. caller: good morning, c-span. i put my confidence, if i had any, in the republicans.

my problem with the crime is our punishment. we need to bring back the electric chair, hanging and gas chamber. this socialist idea of just a perk and the arm is ridiculous. however, you had a caller from birmingham, alabama earlier who seems to put her trust in the fbi. i have a jaundiced eye when it comes to the fbi, i would like to ask her question. what did martin luther king ever do that the fbi handed him till the day he started marching? they recorded every phone call he ever made. as far as i am concerned, you have to look at the roots of the fbi. it started with corruption with j edgar hoover, who used his power to control jfk and every

other president. the problem is they could not control trump, that is where they are having their problems. the fbi is as corrupt today as it was when it began. it is music to my ears when they say the -- defunded the fbi. it is useless and a danger to the country. thank you, hope you'll have a great day. host: the next caller is timothy and ohio, on the republican line. caller: good morning. first of all, i think president trump has done a fine job with all of the battles he has had to fight. i respect the first lady her speech i watched on television the other day. i realize something. that man has been ripped up one side and down the other for trying to bring the world back to americans. it is a hard job to go back

through all the presidencies and everything. that is part of the reason why he took document to secure them, because he knew they'd be safe at his home. whatever else is going on, i have no political involvement. as i see things now, i am going to steer toward the republican party. if mr. trump runs again, i will vote for him. i am annexing at states marine, as far as i'm concerned, i think the problem with the police department should be taken straight to joint chiefs of staff and the police department should report to them. one of their advisors with them that they trust highly, the united states air force, the marines in the army on land. you have got the coast guard. you have got specialty army personnel.

i am -- i think everything should be taken back to military jurisdiction temporarily and cattle cars she took a people that because of trouble, go to d.c. indents to the supreme court. -- and answer to the supreme court. host: we are talking about what party you trust more on law & order issues. for republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats (202) 748-8000. independence -- independents (202) 748-8002. you can text us at (202) 748-8003 and find us on twitter at c-spanwj and instagram at c-spanwj. tim is on the democratic line. if i remember, the pronunciation is reading, pennsylvania.

caller: you are correct. a little bit of a pennsylvania dutch community. host: go ahead. caller: my comment is, i do not know how anybody can trust the republican party when all of the republican senators let to impeachment slide, they let a president commit crimes and then okayed it. that sent a signal to the rest of the world that this guy can force a president to accept his bribe or is forcing -- he was impeached because he tried to extort information, false information. he wanted zelenskyy to lie for him for his own gain. used his high office for his own personal gain. he has an oath of office to keep.

the former president committed a serious crime, and his republik and colleagues let him off the hook. i do know how they can solve that call themselves law and order president. he committed a crime, his big live, inciting a ride on the capital. they let that slide. how they call that law & order is beyond me. also, the crimes he committed while in office over the pandemic. he lied to us, that was a crime. it was a moral to lie to us. he had a phone call from the president of china early january 2020, the president of china told president trump it is an airborne pandemic, five times more dangerous than the flu. and president trump never told us that. that is all i have to really say. i can't understand any of these republicans thinking they have law & order. host: the next call is down in

tampa, florida on the republican line. caller: thank you for taking my phone call. we have got a situation in tampa, florida that is bad. estate attorney that was not anybody down here. we had riots. police officers and temple were hit with bricks and rocks. they did not prosecute one person. they rioted and burned a chance store, he did not prosecute on that. the crime is going off the wall. host: we are going to take a quick break. coming up the wilson center's robert daly, who discusses china's retaliation after speaker nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan. he will also talk to us about u.s.-china relations after the break. ♪
