they're being begged to send in the national guard. the response as the chief just said, was not an immediate yes. yes, the national guard is responding. yes, the national guard is on the way. one thing that did not come up in today's hearing but has still not been explained about that desperate phone call the d.c. police described, that the pentagon initially lied about one of the military officers who was on that call. the "washington post" reporting last month that after trump's disgraced national security adviser mike flynn told president trump he should use military force and martial law to seize power despite the election results, mike flynn's brother was at the pentagon and on that call. the call where the pentagon allegedly slow walked approving deploying the national guard. mike flynn's brother, lieutenant general charles flynn, has denied that his relationship with his brother was any sort of factor in the response to the capitol attack. but the army has not explained why they repeatedly lied when they insisted multiple times

the national guard presence we have here now as a result of the riot but the national guard has put up the fencing and all that. >> okay. so that was that began to be developed the evening of the 6th when we made the request. we got the national guard in. we started looking to the future, what was going to be next. we started talking about bringing in the first section of global fencing, which basically went right around capitol square, constitution, independence, first. we had that in place and started looking at what national guard resources working with the national guard representative. that was developed with capitol police working with sergeant at arms at the time, in the evening going into the 7th that we developed that. >> okay. were you the only one involved or was the sergeant at arms involved? >> i believe so. i'd have to go back and pull that information. we were working on different aspects of it at that time. i had my people working on the request and the coordination with the national guard. >> what was the purpose of the original -- the national guard that came and put

i have questions about the national guard. the secretary mentioned we are trying to prioritize the vaccine for those service members who are on the front lines or performing functions in which they might have exposure. are the members of the guard being appropriately prioritized who are serving their communities in the covid response, such as serving and food banks, serving in vaccine supply, assisting communities in ways in which they are part of the covid response? are they being a properly prioritized -- appropriately prioritized? >> first, yes, we are in lockstep. we have been fully integrated in the dod priority schema for vaccination. we receive our allotment of vaccines and follow down the list. in that top list of the one a are guardsmen serving in covert operations, so they have the ability to get the vaccine. we have been pushing it out weakly to the states so they can get vaccinated. rep. turner: i have one more follow-up. this question is based on information i have in other states besides ohio. could you please tel

if they tested positive, the d.c. nationaluard and their organization worked through the contact tracing to make sure the identified members that needed to go into restriction of movement. and they can and you'd that over the last month now. from the numbers i have seen, they have done a really good job and have continued to reduce that to be able to find where those positives are, and then do the contact tracing, do appropriate restriction of movement to assure they can minimize any impacts to the mission. representative: thank you. general taliaferro, if i heard correctly, one third of our service members are refusing the vaccination. what is the department doing to reach out to service members to encourage them to be vaccinated? and when i served in the marine corps, i don't think i was ever given an option about my vaccination. we got in line, they zapped us. everybody got it. that is the way it was. are you saying now, we have a new approach to vaccination for our service members? >> congressman, i wouldn't say we have a

stinker and requested the national guard. instead of approving the use of national guard he suggested i ask how quickly we can get support if needed and leaned forward in case we had to request assistance on january 6. can you describe that link those conversations with the two sergeant and arms on january 4th? >> the first conversation occurred monday morning i would have to refer to my notes for somewhere around 11:00 o'clock in the morning event with mr. irving in his office making the first request to the national guard to say i don't think the intelligence supports it if we needed them on wednesday is there a way to beep report on - - prepare for a request? at that .125 national guardsmen supporting if we needed a response quickly he could repurpose them to get them to the armory and to get them to us as quick as possible the next day i met with mr. stinker he came for the video call i posted with those officials and we spoke about it briefly there as well as i passed on to mr. irving later that afternoon. >> i understand

this hits with real power across the nation. we see it reflected in film and photography of the public mourning that occurs in the days and weeks after his death on april 12. ♪ herman: at the very end of his presidency gallery, we present the most important architect -- artifact. it is what the president used throughout his presidency. in the aftermath of fdr's death and public mourning, his successor harry truman did not feel right keeping the desk and chair used by fdr, so he gave them to eleanor roosevelt, and she donated them to the roosevelt library. they were put on display in 1945 and have been on public display ever since. in addition, we have many of the items the president had on the desk at the time of his death. we have it arranged as close as we could get it to the way it looked in march of 1945, the last time he sat here. you see a wide variety of things. some serious items, whimsical items. fdr had a sense of humor. he liked having ceramic figures, stuffed animals and toys on the desk. many serious items, things he

in response, the national apprenticeship act of 2021 invests $3.5 billion in our national apprenticeship system, ensures consistency and quality across apprenticeship programs, increases opportunities for diverse groups of workers who have not traditionally been included in the apprenticeship system, and expands registered apprenticeships in emerging sectors, such as health care, manufacturing, finance, and technology. this investment alone will create an additional one million apprenticeship opportunities. i'm so excited to say that. and it was yield more than $10 billion in benefits to taxpayers through higher tax revenue and decreased spending on social safety net programs. there's no better policy, mr. speaker, than helping people get great training for great jobs. construction training -- excuse me -- construction trades and their industry partners have long proven that registered apprenticeships work and that the registered apprenticeship model works. that's why trade groups, industry associations, labor unions, and other stakeholders supported both democrats and republicans in ove

crystal shank is on his way to the national parks headquarters. during the drive he's struck by the extent to which human activity has changed the environment. the many cows are just one indication. the once clear water is stained brown by this oil it's washing away. it seems you are confused we don't see human influences here large numbers of livestock with massive over use of the land all bushed erosion caused by trample and grazing over there's also erosion caused by the water. behind me are non-native eucalyptus trees the landscape is totally changed and in very poor conditions especially to stop this. ethiopia's wealth of major disappeared from here a long time ago many children don't know their country any other way. as often happens the weather in the mountains is about to change. hail storms in the ethiopian highlands. the landscape has been consistently damaged by humans and extreme weather like this only makes things worse. the visitors you just read people's future is being washed away on foot we associate ethiopia with drought and air a

stenger and again requested the national guard. instead of approving the use of the national guard, however, mr. stenger suggested i ask then how quickly we could get support if needed and to lean forward in case we had to request assistance on january 6th. can you describe at more length those conversations with the two sergeant-at-arms on january the 4th? >> absolutely, sir, the first conversation occurred monday morning. i went over. i'd have to refer to my notes, but sometime maybe around 11:00 in the morning. i met with mr. irving in his office. that's where i made the first request for the national guard. he had indicated, i don't know if i really like the optics, you know, i don't think the intelligence really supports it. he had -- like we had said, recommended i talk to the senate sergeant-at-arms. later on in the day, i met with -- i'm trying to recall if it was in person or on the phone, i have to go back to my timeline where i reached out to him and they may have already talked because he had referred to me said, do you

this prayer breakfast gives us a chance to share in the national fellowship. he greater good and lifting up the truth, and collectively we can make a , difference in defeating the pain around us. jesus tells us not only to be the light but to reflect the light. let your light shine before others that they may see the good deeds and glorify your father in heaven. scripture spends a great deal of time describing what is good deeds are, feeding the hungry, clothing and housing the homeless healing the sick, , helping the marginalized. so let us commit today to a different path. one where god's wisdom is a lamp for our feet, a light on our path. we can start by loving our neighbor. and if you don't know, everyone is your neighbor. all of humanity. loving your neighbor requires working for social justice, investing in the most marginalized communities, protecting and extending civil rights those communities still are not guaranteed and making , opportunity universal. as we gather as a faithful community, we are grateful for the grace that gives us the humility to un

national guard came, what was the beretta sensor? >> you're talking about national guard that came on the. >> the one that stayed after. >> what was the threat assessment? why would they be here for months on end? >> my departure date was the eighth so the information i have was up until the eighth. for based on the mass insurrection we had on the sixth. i wasn't aware of additional ones, they were just concerned about violent extremists regrouping and staging another attack. >> you haven't seen anything that would give us the assessment now that we have a concern we need to help national guard present? you haven't seen anything? >> i've been not in the environment since the eighth. >> any others here, do have any threat assessment you seen that there's reason we have national guard here today? is not a no from everybody? any idea why we have the national guard here? >> my guess is in response that happened, to your question is typically about specific intelligence, i have not personally seen anything that suggests that. >> are you in

sergeant-at-arms to request the assistance of the national guard and mr. irving said he was concerned about the optics of having to deploy, is that right? am i remembering that correctly? >> yes, sir. on the 4th, it wasn't a phone call, it was an in-person visit to his office where i went in and requested the national guard. >> mr. irving, when you used the term optics, and maybe you didn't, do you recall being concerned about the optics of the national guard and could you just elaborate on what you meant by that? again, this is monday, january 4th, now. >> on monday january 4th, senator, safety was always a deciding factor in making security plans. the issue on the table was whether the intelligence warranted troops at the capitol. and the conversation with mr. sund was not -- i did not take it as a request, he was merely informing me that he had received an offer from the national guard. then when we included mr. stenger, the three of us discussed the specific issue on whether the intelligence warranted the troops and the answer was no. it was a collectiv

yes, the national guard is on the way. yes, the national guard are being restaged from traffic posts to respond. the response was more asking about the plan, what was the plan for the national guard, and the response was more focused on in addition to the plan, the optics about how this looks with boots on the ground on the capitol. and my response to that was simply, i was just stunned that i have officers that are literally fighting for their lives and we're kind of going through what seemed like an exercise to check the boxes and there was not an immediate response. when i asked specifically, steve sund, chief sund, was he requesting national guard and was that request being denied. the response was no, we're not -- from the u.s. department of army, was no, we're not denying the request, but they were concerned, they did have concerns so again i was just stunned at that response. >> thank you. >> senator blunt. >> chief sund, if i have your testimony correct this morning, i think what i'm hearing you say is based on int

the national guard is responding. yes, the national guard is on the way. the response was more asking about the plan, what was the plan for the national guard. the response was more focussed on in addition to the plan the optics about how this looks with boots on the ground on the capitol. and my response to that was simply, i was just stunned that, i have officers that were out there literally fighting for their lives and, you know, we're kind of going through what seemed like an exercise to really check the boxes. and there was not an immediate response. >> let me be clear, optics as portrayed in the media played no role whatsoever in my decisions about security. and any suggestion to the contrary is false. safety was always paramount when making security plans for january 6th. we did discuss whether the intelligence warranted having troops at the capitol. that was the issue. and the collective judgment at that time was no, the intelligence did not warrant that. >> there's so much to go through there, mika, but i just want to go back to the staggering nu

he is at the national cathedral in talks about marston, mississippi. says the black poverty you see should be the shame of the nation. but that it can be repaired because the united states can achieve greatness. the deeper we look at martin luther king jr. and his politics, how they evolve, the more impressed we become because he become somebody willing to speak truth to power, who is deeply empathetic to poor people. these are people who society has deemed as worthless and not worth caring for. dr. king says not only are these the people we should embrace, these are the people who should be central to our conceptions of american democracy. it becomes more impressive the deeper you read about it. susan: i'm going to play one last clip, which is from martin luther king in 1967. it brings a lot of these themes to bear. let's listen.

alaska possesses more tidal energy than the rest of the nation combined. our potential for wind, geothermal, in-shore and pumped hydro is practically unlimited. tremendous opportunity awaits alaska when we make energy independence a priority. we have the means to reduce our enormous power costs, attract new jobs, and deliver cheap alaskan energy to alaskans. i'll continue to engage with investors and alaskans across the political spectrum to find projects that support these objectives. alaskans who care about the environment and energy independence should be able to get behind many of these potential projects. we must also defend our right to develop traditional energy resources. as a resource producing state, alaska generates much of its revenue from this activity. more importantly, our constitution compels us to do so, and it's the right thing to do for alaskans. i reject the false premise between protecting the environment and developing our economy. this is the argument of outsiders who seek to divide us for their own benefit. these individuals and grou

and so, however, they knew they needed the help of the national farmworkers association. he union of says are indoors, which was mainly mexican and mexican american. and so, they asked them to join the strike and on september 16th, 1965, which is the mexican national day, the national farmworkers association was convened, all of membership was convened. in a sort of town hall. and the members voted to join the filipino strike. so they all walked out of the grape fields of deadly no. well, the growers responded quite violently, spraying the workers with pesticides and in order to call the attention of the governor of california, scissor travis decided to launch a big long march from delay no to south america, which was over 300 miles. that march was called the -- the movement had quite some religious, served as an element of cultural cohesion for, in particular for the mexican, american union. so, as we see here, this is a photograph of that march which started in the lane with a few hundred farmworkers. and when he got to sacramento california, it was 10,000 people. we see

how do you do that, how do you work with all sides in a way that we see at the national level? >> washington was perhaps the one i remember most is the first president focused on bipartisanship and in the last speech and the farewell address he talks about the fact that there's too much partisanship and he was concerned for the nation. it's something i've always been passionate about and when i first took office and was elected, my first inaugural address at this historic house, i said that i wanted to and the bipartisanship that we had seen in washington and we didn't want to see it happen here on the capital. i pledged to try to advance the best ideas regardless of which side of the aisle they came from and i said my main goal is to usher in a new era of bipartisan cooperation where the best ideas can rise to the top and we can reach across the aisle to come up with a bipartisan solution but it's what i've been focused on everson's for the past six years. i'm about to have my third. but my position has not changed. i am in the highest registration state in america and overwhel

there are now only around $500.00 ethiopian wolves in the wild roughly half of them in ballarat the national park has become the bastion for the survival of the species. in the area the animals were once widespread in the ethiopian highlands but they've had to withdraw from humans more and more today they live and hunt at an altitude of 4000 metres they can't retreat any higher and large tracts of the country have become virtually uninhabitable for the. rodents are the wolves preferred prey and there are some splendid specimens up here like the giant molar rat which can weigh up to a kilogram. ethiopian wolves hunt alone. but even up here in this remote part of our planet they still and counter domesticated animals. because the wolves aren't interested in cattle they don't come into conflict with the herders. but where there are cattle there are also dogs and they can transmit diseases like rabies. and one of the biggest problems the park administration has to deal with is illegal settlements springing up in these last protective forests. the village every rock is located in the middle of th

thank you for the work you've done across the nation. by the time so many in immigrant communities, latinos and immigrants live in such fear the last four years, it's not only about in order to crush the virus, we need to make sure we have access to the vaccine but how you reallocate once you have access to the vaccine, the fear so many latinos are dealing with and lack of trust for people to get the vaccine. >> thank you, congresswoman. i appreciate the question. i have to admit the last four years have been traumatic for our community. the toxic narrative targeting our communities in immigrant communities or latinos or even those who live in puerto rico were american citizens with and talked to in a negative way, it has an effect on the government and government programs. that's why it's so important as abigail mentioned, we need to talk about where the messengers and for those right now in the community based organizations providing services during the pandemic, here in new york we know while they continue to do more service for securi

it was important during world war ii as it was for the nation's independence. but that only works if those of us in the private sector bring the public spirit to our work. i always like to say you don't need to work for the public sector to engage in public service. and i think each of us has a responsibility and that's been part of this unique culture of the united states and now here we are in the 2020 a new generation of challenges, but in some ways an age old answer to help us meet them. >> how does the private sector engage in solving some of the biggest questions we face as a nation today and in the world, global health, immigration, what is the role in how we solve those challenges? >> i would say two things, we always need clarity to do anything important in life that involves lots of people so in the first instance i do believe that the public and private sectors have distinct roles in a democracy to address public challenges, we look to the government to lead and make decisions by people that are elected by the citizens and act pursuant to the rule of

cost leadership as we see the nation -- the nation's leadership as we see the nature of these threats going forward? chuck: thanks for having me. i think there's going to be a wholesale review in this country of how we protect significant events here domestically that have a national and international second -- significance here. during the events that took place at the capital on january 6 -- capitol on january 6, under way was the certification of the presidential election. it wasn't designated by the department of homeland security as a significant special event and therefore security enhancements were not in place. it was essentially treated as every other day by the united states capitol police. so, let us talk about what dhs has available to them. they have a robust presence of law enforcement resources within, including the united states secret service. they also have the ability to designate events that hold significant place in our country as a national special security event, which places the secret service in charge of security coordination, brings i

the fight for liberty is a national fight. ut, the fight for freedom is one that had been going on amongst africans, from the time they were carried from the interior, all the way to this one. so, why don't we go to the section under parent docks of liberty we really start to unpack the story of with liberty and freedom means and this pedal -- pivotal moment in time, as a nation is taking shape. so we have come from colonial america passing through the story, the powerful story about the revolutionary war. now, as i mentioned, we're entering into the paradox of liberty. first, let me show you a very powerful object, that is personal speaks to genealogy, and the importance that the role of genealogy plays and helping to tell the story. again, we enter into this revolutionary period, there is freedom everywhere, or so one would think. freedom and the call of the day here we have a space that looks a freak humidities of color, that were all over the nation at the time. believe it or not. but one of the poignant objects that we hav

and again, we see the nation and all the activity going on. and the development of legislation all deeply embedded with flavoring. we also look at the human story of african-american men, women and children finding ways to go around black codes and slave codes. but we also have a deeper understanding of that very personal experience, of being sold away on the auction block and also that juxtaposition of profit and power also associated with that experience on the auction block. it's important to note that one of the design features we have in this exhibition is that we have a wall filled with excerpts from bills of sales and broad sides. so, you will see a young boy sold for $5. $5 for a young black boy is what the excerpt says. understand that $5 is the monetary value, but the value of that young boy to his mother, to his brother or sister is immeasurable. that gets us to the story of life, work and enslavement and looking at the many complexities of this human experience during the antebellum period. we're fortunate enough that we were able

i'm a citizen of that nation where the largest native nation east of the mississippi a population means that we're about the fifth largest tribe in the country. um, i was a military brat and spent much of my life traveling at reservations, but they were native reservations. they were military reservations, but when i got into college, i began to read the works of vinder laurie jr. who was the most powerful intellectual thinker of the time and if not the century and wound up studying under him for my master's degree and he was the one that convinced me that we needed more indigenous people studying the political affairs of our nations and intergovernmental relations as well. and so that's what led me back to chapel hill to get my phd and i began my teaching career university of arizona for nine years and then the desert heat finally drove me away from there. up to the cold viking country in minnesota where i spent when he winters and had a wonderful run there in both native studies political science and the law program as well as you noted my work really focuses on how indigenous peoples

and also, malcolm becomes the face of the nation of islam. part of this is due to his talent and elijah behind the -- elijah mohammed saying you will be our national representative starting in 1957. the press he gets proved to be too much for elijah mohammed and the nation of islam. malcolm becomes the first black radical global celebrity who is a black nationalist and a pan-africanist. he has this very famous global figure who can go to the middle east, which he does in 1959 and 1964. he goes to african universities. he becomes this champion of black liberation and black pride. after a while, that proves too much. personally, malcolm finds out that the honorable elijah mohammed has some personal failings. there have been extramarital affairs. there are things malcolm finds unseemly. all of that is going to come out by 1964 and lead to the break. this idea of chickens coming home to roost. when malcolm says chickens come home to roost in the aftermath of the kennedy assassination, elijah mohammed silences him for 90 days. that is not why he is

why would we allow partisanship to get in the way of national security? i've urged my republican colleagues on the judiciary committee, current chairman graham, and incoming ranking member grassley, to consent to start the hearing for merrick garland as soon as possible. i proposed february 8, next monday, as a hearing date in part to accommodate senator graham's request to avoid holding a hearing during the impeachment trial. a february 8 hearing date gives the committee sufficient time to review judge garland's record. it would follow the same timeline, the very same timeline that senator graham used for judge amy coney barrett's nomination to the supreme court last year. remember, the committee has already received the vast majority of judge garland's record, including his speeches, interviews, and publications that less than five years ago were presented when he was nominated to the supreme court. we have had this material in the committee for years. senator graham claims that important paperwork for judge garland is still missing. the only thing that

, the national guard is on the way, yes, the national guard are being restaged from traffic posts to respond. the response was more asking about the plan, what was the plan for the national guard? the response was more focused on in addition to the plan, the optics about how this looks with boots on the ground on the capitol. and my response to that was simply, i was just stunned that i have officers who were out there literally fighting for their lives and, you know, we're kind of going through what seemed like an exercise to really check the boxes. >> i think in the end a big theme here today, brianna, were really a lack of independent thinking and lack of agility. and there's one other thing i want to clear up, members that testified today said that members of congress did not delay the response by the national guard. there have been some rumblings about that. i think there have been a few questions but i want to put that to rest. members of congress did note hnot hold up the ability of the national guard to respond. >> very important to note. whitney wild, thank you very much for

the u.n. has called on wealthy nations to help kick start a global vaccination plan. well speaking of vaccines south africa has launched its long awaited inoculation campaign beginning with health care workers and the 1st country in the world to administer vaccines for manufactured johnson and johnson the initial roll out will form part of a study to establish the effectiveness of that job for me to measure has more now from johannesburg. hours off to the arrival of 80000 doses of the johnson and johnson covert 1000 vaccine so much because president. was one of the 1st to get the job the government says it wants to allay fears. those they represent a real growth for us and some of these are finally the road scenes i hear and they are a menace. or the problem for me is that you are far. ahead of this consignment is one of 4 expected in the coming weeks the government says it plans to administer up to half a 1000000 of the single dose vaccines as part of a steady mainly targeting health care workers south africa's water 7000000 more doses for use later in the year at thi

bells tolled $500.00 times at the national cathedral in washington in memory of the victims while the u.s. death toll is the world's highest in absolute terms several other countries have lost more people as a proportion of their populations christian salumi reports now from washington d.c. . president joe biden marked the somber milestone from the white house acknowledges the half 1000000 lost to cove it 19 not as a number but as individuals the people we lost were extraordinary they span generations born in america emigrated to america but just like that so many of them took their final breath alone in america. as a nation can accept such a cool for a while before i knew this pandemic for so long we have to resist becoming numb to the sorrow after addressing the nation the president headed outside for a moment of silence 500 candles lit 450-0000 dead and we're still not out of it a half a 1000000 deaths it's just it's terrible it is historic we haven't seen anything even close to this the grim milestone comes after winter storm stalled vaccination efforts in parts of the nation so f

thank you for the work you have done across the nation. it protects the latino community, especially at a time when latinos and other immigrants live in such fear for the last four years. in order to crush this virus, we need to make sure we have access to the vaccine, but then how do we, once you have access to the vaccine, quell the fear many latinos and immigrants live under, and the lack of trust, to be able to move people to get the vaccine? >> i appreciate the question. i have to admit the last four years have been traumatic for our communities. the toxic narrative targeting our communities, immigrants or latinos or those who are american citizens who have been talked to in a negative way, it has an effect on the trust and government programs. that is why it is so important, as dr. gayle has mentioned, we need to talk about who are the messengers. those are right now the community-based organizations. in new york, while they are underfunded, they continue to do more resources, including food insecurity with very little. we mentioned t

expressing concern over the situation in myanmar as well as the united nations the u.s. state department has called on the military to release all those who have been detained australia's prime minister says his country is keeping a close watch. rather disturbing. developments i'm aware of those troubling reports in the foreign minister has been following the the banks in myanmar have shut due to poor internet connection and not knowing what might come next people are stocking up on supplies it's got hardly al-jazeera. let's take a look at the general now in charge being on flying took over the military in 2011 that was the same year that man maher began undergoing major political transformation under power sharing agreements the military has had a may just say in defense and border affairs as also guaranteed 25 percent of seats in parliament. has been credited for his involvement in critical national security issues such as cease fire agreements with ethnic groups but 2 years ago he was signed by the us for his role in a military crackdown on rango muslims whic
