this is worth. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - that's actually worth more than you think. don't open that. wealth is important, and we can help you build it. but it's what you do with it, that makes life worth living. principal. for all it's worth. good afternoon, everyone. the u.s. capitol once again surrounded by fencing as authorities take no chances ahead of a rally planned for saturday to show support for hundreds of people arrested in connection with that january 6th riot. but it is still unclear how many people will actually show up. inside the capitol though, divisions emerging among democrats as the house finalizes

its version of the 3.5 trillion reconciliation bill expanding the social safety net and fighting climate change. we're going to talk about where thing goes from here with chris van hollen. a short time ago, president biden outlined the plan to make big corporations and the wealthy pay more in taxes to boost the economy and strengthen the middle class in this country. saying that it is the right thing to do. >> it's not to punish anyone. i'm a capitalist. if you can make a million or a billion dollars, that's great. god bless you. all i'm asking is you pay your fair share. >> as the f.d.a.'s vaccine advisory committee prepares to decide whether to recommend vaccine booster shots, we'll look at how leaders are working to overcome vaccine hesitancy. and while many fled or sought to flee taliban rule in afghanistan, we're going to talk live to one of the leaders who

stayed behind to make sure that the taliban uphold their promise to respect women's rights. but we begin this hour in washington, d.c., where the perimeter around the capitol building has been transformed into a fortress ahead of a right-wing rally. complete with fencing and facial recognition cameras ahead of the event. but far right extremists online are now trying to steer others away from the rally claiming it is a setup by the federal government. for more on this i'm joined by nbc news senior reporter ben collins who covers this information and conspiracy theories circulating on the web and national reporter for "the washington post." she's also done extensive reporting on the fallout since january 6th. great to have both of you. where did this new theory come from? this theory to discourage people from attending and are people

buying it? >> yeah. on these boards for the last, you know, seven, eight months basically, they have had a hard time getting people into one space in part because they believe that every space that they're in online and offline has been infiltrated by federal informants. it's just an extension of that. this started as just one guy's, i guess, passion for -- he was a trump digital director in 2016. he started seeing this on to all these online platforms that would be ameanable to this sort of thing. immediately he was met with pushback saying, you know, this glows which to them means glows in the dark which means, you know, the feds are behind this thing. don't go to this thing. they're trying to capture you. they're trying to coerce you into doing violent crime. and then frame trump supporters for it. this is where we're at right now. if they do go. they saw there is this talking point.

and does law enforcement feel and there is a different climate, there is different context. and they're better prepared for all kinds of scenarios. >> you know, and so, like, incredible to think of that. they reject and the overseers of that. and it is showing that a much larger movement through washington. and there are message boards that ben is describing right now

are flooding the zone to discuss bringing weapons which ones they can hide. which ones they can conceal and bringing those to the capitol despite all that intelligence. the extra steps were rejected. this time around, obviously, a much smaller group according, again, to the untell jens, the untell jens suggests something under 1,000 people. >> how do they expect to organize ever again? given the first time around, you had the president who is lending his voice? what is his voice doing now against the backdrop of this he event. are people looking at his commentary as a sign whether or

not to go or not? >> the president said these are political prisoners and that basically, you know, he lent support to anyone trying to get the people out of jail. that is a talking point that is very prevalent in the spaces. you know, with the proud boys and oath keepers and groups like that, they're having a hard time getting people organized on the national level. this is just a fact. they don't, you know, people assume that if you're going to go to a big rally like this, you're going to be monitored and then, you know, maybe from there, you know, taken in by some scheme. that is the big fear. but they are organizing on the local level. they're getting -- the proud boys are in the pacific northwest. they're joining anti-mask, anti-mandate, even anti-trans rallies throughout the united states. they have gone to the local level. when you see these fights at school board meetings, that's how local that these groups have

become. they are trying to get them more organized locally. >> let's talk about the republican members in all of this. go back to january 6th, the day of. there was condemnation. but as we move further away from january 6th, they have bought into the narrative it was a normal day. people there were being persecuted time and time again and now have lent their voice to many of these protesters. how do you expect leaders to react to this weekend's rally? are we seeing anyone trying to associate themselves with this vent, trying to distance themselves from it? what are you seeing. ? >> you know, i look at comparisons. really, the hours after the attack on the capitol, you saw lindsey graham washing his hands of donald trump. saying it's been a nice long

ride. but, you know, it's over. you saw mitch mcconnell insisting that certifying the vote was the most important thing he would do on the floor. you saw members crying how horrendous this attack was and how unprincipaled they found it insulting and devastate bid the fact that protesters attacked law enforcement. you know that, is a bread and butter issue for republicans. but there is this finger in the wind so to speak each time event like this unfortunately happens. the finger in the wind after the protest indicated, you know what? a lot of us are supporters, a lot of our republican supporters feel this storming of the capitol was justified. feel it was the rightful effort to try to defend, you know, this republican savior, donald trump. and republicans are following their voters. unstead of leading them. they're following them.

you are believe that what we'll see likely is the same thing that we saw after january 6th. republicans determining how they feel about things after they see what the voters think. >> and we'll see what happens this saturday. thank you both for starting us off this hour. for more on this, i want to bring in retired u.s. army general, he led the review of the capital security in the wake of the january 6th riots. great to have you back with us on the program. first, your retooction what you're seeing right now in terms of how these protests are going. are these steps enough? what is your initial thoughts on it? >> i defer to the new capitol police chief and the police board. but it appears to be the right thing to do. they're listening to the intelligence and you have to be prepared. this is one of the tricks of the trade in the pentagon and all

law enforcement and national defense people have to work with is fighting terrorism, once they strike, a big and only -- they can act like they're going strike the next time and get the same response. you have to use a lot of resources. the purpose of taker uchl in this case domestic terrorism is to force a political outcome. and what they have done is they force the entire government to respond on something they might do. en that is a problem fighting terrorism. we get on the plane and take your shoes off. there is one idiot tried to set his shoe on fire. that was an act of taurism. every time a group comes to d.c., you're going to see a version of that. there is law enforcement from all over the country. of that's a challenge we have with going after terrorism. i think in the long run, the justice department has to figure

out ways to take these groups down. when you go from talking to acting. that's what we see happening around the country right now. because they testified by the capitol police officers. that group that attacked the 16, they don't act like taker usts. they had whut sue prem ust tendencies. >> do you think we enhanced our groups into thez countries? could this be relatively six months given that six months ago or going back to january and the runup it to, we did not have the same type of insights that we perhaps would have wanted. >> yeah. i agree with that. i think if all the government was working the fbi doing their job, the secret service doing their job, the justice department and the capitol police fully manned, 1/6 would

not have happened and if the national guard had been on stand by as they should have been with 27,000 people coming to a rally that we hear people excited to be in the capitol and take over the capitol. a government didn't work that day. st i think we see government at work now. and when we see it at work sometimes it looks like we overdue it. but they don't have an option. they don't have an option because this group can immediately turn and become violent. and they have to be ready. there is no more excuse. like we said, hole the damn line never again. that's what capitol police is preparing for. they don't know what the group is going to do. they're domestic terrorists. they do what they want when they want. the fact they say they may do something is going to call this level of preparedness each time they come to town. what that has done and what has not been done is increasing the number of capitol police officers. we still don't have the capitol

open to the public. some of that has to do with covid-19. some of it has to do with the current security environment we have. but both congress and senate were clear to us the plan you give to us must be what people can walk back up to the capitol. they didn't put enough money into supplemental to security capitol, get enough ploufrz and they didn't put enough money to harden the capitol so the public will have access again let alone the protesters and domestic terrorists in a are coming to town. >> all right. lieutenant general, thank you so much for your time. i have it on good authority it was your birthday yesterday. happy belated birthday to you, sir. thank you. appreciate your time. >> thank you. still ahead, the house finalizes the details of the version of the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. but what will it take to make sure it has the votes to pass? we're live on capitol hill with

that. in austin, texas, latinos make up more than 50% of covid related deaths. up next, we're going to meet community leaders taking the fight against vaccine hesitancy into their own hands. we'll tell you about that as well. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." well you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports. people everywhere living with type 2 diabetes are waking up to what's possible with rybelsus®. ♪ you are my sunshine ♪ ♪ my only sunshine... ♪ rybelsus® works differently than any other diabetes pill to lower blood sugar in all 3 of these ways... increases insulin when you need it... decreases sugar... and slows food. the majority of people taking rybelsus® lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7. people taking rybelsus® lost up to 8 pounds. rybelsus® isn't for peopl with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrin neoplasia syndrome type 2

right now the seven day average for new covid cases stands at more than 155,000 as 24 states are reporting increase in new cases over the last two weeks. here is some of the latest headlines. tomorrow the food and drug administration advisory committee will be meeting to debate whether there is enough evidence to recommend that a third dose of pfizer's covid-19 vaccine would be safe and effective. officials in idaho declared a statewide hospital resource crisis allowing medical facilities to ration health care and triage patients. hospital there's are so overwhelmed that doctors and nurses are being forced to reach out to hospitals to locate

available beds to which they can transfer patients. and los angeles county will require people to show proof of vaccination to enter indoor areas at bars, breweries, nightclubs, as well as for large outdoor events. the new measure set to take place into effect october 7 ng. as local leaders tun to impose vaccine requirements, grassroots organizations are stepping up to aid in vaccination efforts. over in travis county, texas, a group of latino leaders is addressing vaccine hesitancy within its own community. a community hit hard in the last year and a half with latinos making up 50% of covid related deaths in austin. joining me now from just out sued austin in travis county, antonia hilton and a managing director of opportunity labs. he was the pandemic and emerging threats coordinator at the department of health and human services under president obama. great to have you both with us. i'll start with you. what can you tell us about the

grassroots efforts there to combat vaccine hesitancy? >> hey, ayman. the site where i'm at is the definition of the phrase needing people where they are. so where i'm standing is a community center where people who work in the food services industry, latinos who own food trucks in the area, they come here to get supplies, food, ice for their trucks. but it's also been turned into a vaccine distribution suit. and that's thanks to a group called the austin latino coalition. that is made up of community leaders, grassroots folks who live on the east side of austin who speak spanish and who have taken it upon themselves to really do personalized outreach. they're not public health officials. they're not doctors. they know how to talk people and be an authentic voice to reach the people who still haven't gotten vaccinated. it's been fascinating to watch them on the ground and have the conversations. they make sure to never shame people that have strugled to come to this decision. they hear them out on perhaps the misinformation that they've heard from political and religious sources or the fears they have around side effects and maybe missing out on days at

work. i want you to meet the leader of the coalition. i got to talk to him. take a listen. >> we lost about 1,035 people today. 50% of those deaths are from the latino community. we lost 518 people from our community. so for me, somebody who grew up here, it's personal. i think i can do my part and at least try to bring some support and resources. >> i got to watch paul all day yesterday go up to people who are hesitant to get vaccinated and one by one convince them to get the very first shots. it was really interesting watching that process. i think some folks think that at this stage if you haven't gotten your shots you might be someone who is never going to do it. and i got to see that is not the case. people had questions. and they needed them answered in spanish. he was really patient. people sat at tables and read through the forms really carefully. and there was basically no barrier to entry. and you got watch as people got their first shots. they were excited, a little nervous and walked away saying

they're going to come back and get the second soon. it was really cool to see that work in person. >> to that point, doctor, to her point about what she was able to see up front, i want to get your reaction to that. is the outreach to the latino community initiatives like these, how important are they? and beyond just the anecdotal level that we're seeing there in texas, is it scaleable to deal with the remaining hesitant you is across the country among the latino community? >> they're critically important, right? this is a great example of really hard grassroots work that has to happen. to help convince those people whose opinions can still be shifted. i think what the data shows is through the american rescue plan, the administration rolled out a significant amount of funding that is primarily targeted towards improferring

access. i think it's true the other half is convincing employers they have to drive their employees to come and get vaccinated. efforts like these are critically important to capturing folks that can still be convinced, there is a large swath of the population highly resustant that we have to try harder and harder to get to. >> from your reporting and what you're seeing and hearing from the folks down there, what are some of the reasons people gave for waiting so long to get vaccinated? is it simply they just -- it wasn't reaching them or the information as you were saying the questions they had were not being answered in a language that made them feel comfortable about? >> it was really all over the place. and many of the issues they address is reachable. they were wore yud if they would get side effects, they would lose work and lose wages and not be able to feed their families. what they have done is approach restaurant owners and business owners and said, can you give your employees paid time off work so they can make sure to get vaccinated and keep the rest

of your workforce safe? then there are people that were getting misinformation. they don't have relationships with producers who combat that misinformation. and so they needed someone they trusted, who spoke spanish, just talk them through why the things they heard are not true. and then there were people who just, you know, they had questions around bodily autonomy. i think they needed to see people who look like and work like them do this and feel comfortable and confident. it was really all over the spectrum. but no matter what the issues were that were raised, consistently what i saw and what i heard from the folks who have been doing this work for months is that you have to be an authentic voice. you can't just be someone who says that vaccines are available here and you tweet that out or you put it up on this website. you have to make the effort to go out to people, make sure they know and they trust you and then they're going to show up. >> doctor, i'm sure you saw the tweet this week by nicky manage.

she shared a story that her friend became impetent after the vaccine. how concerned are you about the continued spread of misinformation? what is the right way to deal with that misinformation? >> well, it's always a concern when we have a story like this. it's particularly unfortunate. it is completely untrue. we haven't seen any scientific evidence this is related to the vaccines. but it is also unfortunate that when they have that platform uses their voice to amplify that sort of message. we know that it has down stream effects. to ultimately do a number of things that we've been talking about which is go out and meet people where they are, speak to them in the language that they understand. and present the scientific evidence that clearly shows why

x or y may be true or not true. >> thanks to the both of you for your unsights on this. greatly appreciate it. a quick note for you tomorrow. we're going to be answering your questions about kids being back in the classrooms during the pandemic. share them on twitter using the hash tag. my colleague will bring together panel of experts to answer all of these questions luf at 11:00 a.m. eastern right here on msnbc. still ahead, the roadblocks democrats are facing from other democrats on the reconciliation bill. we'll talk about all of this with the maryland senator chris van hollen next. d senator chris van hollen next.

and scope of the package. one division is to negotiate with drug companies over prescription drug prices unable to enter one committee after three democrats voted against it. nbc news national political reporter joins us with more from capitol hill. set the stage for us. what do the points of contention say about what big of a task it will be for democrats to make sure the votes are in the own caucus to clear it in the house. >> that tells us that democratic leaders in the white house have a long way to go to resolve disputes that came up during this two week markup of committees in the house. president biden will speak to speaker pelosi and chuck schumer, the majority leader later today to discuss the bill. now they have a lot to talk about here. including policy disputes that came up. three set lawmakers in the energy and commerce committee

voted against allowing medicare to negotiate drug prices. you see the names on the screen right there. they're going to need to get lawmakers onboard. there is a cap of $1,000 that many lawmakers in new york and new jersey are getting. there is discussion over the pricetag. and also policy concerns about the scope of climate provisions. then this are procedural concerns. a number of centrists and politically vulnerable house democrats are urging leadership not to make them vote on a bull until it is prenegotiated with the senate. and pass and become law. they don't want to defend provisions in the next cam pawn and attacks from the republicans as well as industry groups on provision that's the who us is not onboard with. so those are among the things that the white house is going to have to figure out with party leaders. now it's in their hands to come up with a version that can pass both the house and senate with

such little mar margin for erro. how could this get in the way of the bulk ready by december 27th. that is the dead line for them to vote on the infrastructure bill. >> it is all connected. the reason for that is they tank the infrastructure bill that adds about $550 billion in spending on roads and bridges. it still needs to pass the house. dozens of progressives are threatening to vote no on it unless the reconciliation bill is ready by december 27th. that is two weeks away. of it's going to be a huge task for party leaders to get it together. i will will add, some sources in the democratic caucus believe the progressives will cave. they're not actually going to vote down the infrastructure bill if it does come up with that reconciliation being ready. is that a bet that party leaders want to take? i'm thinking not. i you this they will come up in

the coming days. mark warner of virginia compared this tass to being a rubix cube on steroids when i spoke to him earlier today. that kind of sums up where democrats are at this moment as they try to do this massive mega bill just in the coming weeks. >> good to see you, thank you, my friend. joining us is chris van hollen who sits on the budget committee. thank you for your time. i know the house has essentially put together its version of the reconciliation bill. >> ayman, great to be with you. you was pleased to see the house move forward. look, there is some differences between the house and senate. but they're not large and they're narrowing. the senate is moving ahead. we're going to obviously be

receiving the house bill. then we'll work to iron out the differences between the two going forward. as president said, it's important for the economy and workers that we get this done. >> i want to talk about your colleagues for a moment. you get asked a lot about those. joe mansion said they would not support a bull that costs $3.5 trillion. yesterday the two met with president biden. there is no room for error in the senate. what you are doing to try to get them onboard? can you shed some light into what is happening behind the scenes to get them to get onboard? >> sure. the first thing we're underscoring is this is not just $3.5 trillion in investments. over $1 trillion of this include tax cuts. tax cuts for families with churn. that's an extension of the child

tax credits. it includes incentives, tax incentives for clean energy. almost a third of this are tax cuts for middle income and lower income families that will be paid for by tax reform. by making sure that biggest multinational corporations can't get away without paying any taxes in some years, close the loopholes down. make sure billionaires are paying their taxes. we're having conversations with our colleagues. if the deficit is the main concern, and that's a very fair question or concern, then let's work together to pay for it. there are more than enough proposals on the taubl to do table to do that. >> i'm sure you're aware of raising the debt ceiling. i want to play for you what your

republican colleague of wyoming had to say about this earlier to take. take a listen. >> right now they're talking $3.5 trillion additional spepding. not a single republican is going to vote for. that the democrats have the house. they have the senate. they have the white house. they have the capacity to raise the debt ceiling on their own. if they want to go it alone on the spending and the taxes. >> what's your response to that, sir? what is your sense of how this standoff over the debt limit ends? >> this is not only hypocritical. it is important to be playing this game. hypocritical because when donald trump was president, they added almost a trillions of dollars to the debt including a tax cut for the very wealthy. and they all voted to raise the debt ceiling as did democrats.

to prevent the economy from crashing. so, you know, totally hypocritical. the only thing different is president biden is now in the white house. very dangerous. because as senator mcconnell said himself a few years ago, if you forfeit the full faith and credit of the united states, you tank our economy. you tank the world economy. so essentially what they're saying is that they're willing to allow our entire economy to go off the cliff. i think the american people are going to see right through this. don't filibuster or block this from coming to a vote in the united states senate. >> let me ask you, sir about, foreign plcy for a moment. you sit on the foreign relations

committee. you heard about the evacuation and withdraw from afghanistan. you heard him talk about that drone strike that took place in kabul. are you satisfied from him in this administration or do you still have questions about overall how things unfolded and the tragedy of that drone strike that suggests perhaps the person killed was not a member of isis-k as was initially reported. >> i think secretary blinken answered a lot of questions well. i do believe there are additional questions. i gave the secretary a long list of cases that my constituents have brought to my attention. legal permanent residents still there and our afghan partners whose lives are at risk now through reprisal, also questions about the drone strike. i think those need more answers. and then, of course, what is our strategy going forward?

it's essential we work with our partners, international community to place conditions on the taliban, allowing people safe travel out of the country. allowing the humanitarian assistance to the afghan people. protecting the rights of girls, women, and minorities. making sure afghanistan is not used again as a platform for terrorist attacks. and finally, having inclus you have inclusive government. it's an all taliban government. so we got to keep the pressure on with our international partners. >> all right. mayor mature senator, sir, always a pleasure. thank you for your time. i greatly appreciate it. >> great to be with you, ayman. >> coming up, the january 6th select committee weighs in on general milley's action after january 6th. we'll bring you what they had to say next. you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports." you're watching "ayman mohyeldin reports. trading isn't just a hobby. it's your future. so you don't lose sight of the big picture, even when you're focused on what's happening right now.

former u.n. ambassador nikki haley came out in support of a full congressional investigation into milley. here's what she had to say on fox news this morning. >> the reasons biden has full faith in milley is because milley didn't do this to biden. if he did this to biden, he would be upset and have the same ush use and the same concerns. look, if you'll do it to one president, you'll do it to another. >> so give us the reality check here. the will biden administration continue to defend milley? will we see any real impact within the ranks of this administration over this? >> well, they have continued to defend hum and saw they have confidence in him and the response the administration officials have given essentially to this lane of argument that you just heard from the former u.n. ambassador nikki haley there is that president biden wouldn't have tried to forment an insurrection. he wouldn't have tried to violate the constitution. when they frame their response to milley's reported actions at least, they have put it in the

context of their perception of what president trump then was doing at that time when it came to encouraging this insurrection and trying to violate the constitution. the president in no uncertain terms gave his confidence towards milley. jen psaki yesterday said he untends to continue to serve in that position. the president is confident in him, then, of course, the defense secretary weighing in with his support today as well. >> all right. >> thank you for that update. coming up, she is fighting for the women and girls of afghanistan. challenging the taliban's claims that their going to respect women's rights in that country. i'll be joined from kabul by one of "time's" most 1100 influentil people of 2021. 100 influential people of 2021

this week in kandahar, afghanistan, they evicted more than 3,000 people. demonstrators took to the streets in front of the governor's office after thousands in a government's owned residence were given three days to leave as rumors circulate the taliban is in conflict between hard-liners. joining me is the founder of afghan women's network and was just highlighted in "time's" most 100 influential people list. she is dedicated to her work and

holding the taliban to their promises to women. thank you for joining us. i know it is late in afghanistan. what does life look like in afghanistan for you and women? >> thank you so much for having me. life for women, for the women of afghanistan and me at this point is kind of, how shall i say, troubled. we really don't know what is going to be happening really. so we are kind of taking everything as it comes. every single day there are new news or new, how shall i say, not the real news but people are talking about it and things are happening. none of them are really that, how shall i say, very happy for the women. but life goes on and we are kind of, you know, going on with it.

there's not really much i can say because not a whole lot is happening because the government that is right now the taliban government, they are not really taking any decisive decisions, and they're not coming up with rules and regulations how they want, what do they want and what is happening. so it's kind of unknown. in some parts of the city people are doing certain amounts of things to people and in other parts people are doing some other things, so the same way with the provinces. so it really depends on who you are dealing with. >> what was your personal calculation as to whether or not you were going to leave afghanistan? did that thought ever cross your mind? and tell us why you decided to stay despite the risk of what the taliban represents for women. >> well, you know, you see, in 1978 when i have to leave afghanistan, that was a time i

did not have much of a choice. and although the united states accepted me and then i became a citizen, but all of my life i really felt like a refugee. and then when i came to afghanistan in 2003 and i started living here with the afghans and life started becoming very different, i really felt a sense of belonging. and that sense of belonging is something that at this point in my life, at this age of mine, i really didn't want to give up. although i wasn't sure whether i would have that feeling when the taliban comes, how it's going to be. but that was the risk i took and i decided to stay. because it's becoming very important to me to be in this country, to be a witness, to see what is happening, and if there's anything i can do to

help, maybe ease the blow of some of the things that are happening or maybe make sense out of it and maybe talk to people or whatever. somebody has to do it. and i thought i want to do that. so i'm very gladly staying in afghanistan. >> yeah, and your work is being recognized around the world. as i mentioned "time" magazine listed you on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world. as you are being recognized and the spotlight shifts away from afghanistan what message do you want people to hear about you and your organizations? >> well, you know, the message i want the people of the world to hear is that for them to try not to let their governments make the same mistakes, the mistakes that have been done in afghanistan over and over again because if we allow it, if we allow our governments, that's what they're going to be doing. my message is for the people of the world, the men and women of

the world to really stand next to each other especially to the women. i want solidarity, something i knew is very possible but now i can see it being very possible. it's just to be watchful and not to let things go so much out of hand it will be hard to fix it or whatever happens is a mistake, the result would be something that would be thousands of times worse than we get into it. >> thank you so much. i know it's late in afghanistan. thank you. i appreciate your time. we're going to continue to keep up the spotlight on afghanistan so we appreciate and hope you will come back in the future. before we go some exciting news this weekend. i'm launching my new show "ayman" where we will focus on the biggest cultural stories of the week. catch me saturdays at 8:00 p.m. eastern, sundays at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on msnbc.

hi there, everyone. it's 4:00 in new york. there is no greater symbol of the anxiety in washington around the upcoming rally on saturday in support of the january 6th insurrectionists than this. the fence surrounding the capitol building first installed after the january 6th capitol attack and now put back up last night. and despite reports that many of the same extremist groups behind the insurrection plan on staying home this time, law enforcement appears to be leaving nothing to chance. capitol police have asked the national guard to be on standby should there be any violence or should the need for support arise. "the washington post" is reporting law enforcement bracing for the justice rally this way. overall there's more confidence in the level of preparedness and far more communication and information sharing under the capitol police's new leadership. but for many of the officho
