. >> the gentleman yields back, the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch, is recognized for five minutes. >> i thank the gentlelady for yielding and thank the chair for having this hearing. i find it hard to believe the revisionist history being offered by my colleagues on the other side. it is not a 45-minute walk from the ellipse to the capitol. you would think the gentleman has probably taken that walk himself several times. it's several blocks. i just collapses the entire scenario that he has put fo forward. mr. miller, i live neathe catol. on janua 5th and january 6th, i had an opportunity to walk through e crowds. they gathered on the 5th and gr considerably during the 6th. my personal observatn was that the crowds on the 5th, january 5th were relatively pcefu i walked in and among them, and then again on the morning of the 6th. wereompelled to walk bk and fourth through the crowds as they gathered around the capito what struck me, though, was aftepresident trump's -- his eech and how the crowd chan the mood of the crowd changed after those remarks.

tell me, mr. lynch, you're new to the legal team. what is it that strikes you about this current moment, a couple of days before the family sees the video, what are you going to be focusing on? >> well, i want to make sure, today, all day long, we've been focusing on true transparency and accountability and that's what we're demanding. i'm honored to be a part of the legal team with so many experts. my focus is we want to is he the entirety of these videos. and they're suggesting they only plan to show 20 minutes. that's just not enough. when there's two hours of recordation and they're limiting that to only 20 minutes, the public deserves to see and this grieving family deserves to see the entirety of this video, and that's what we're focusing on. we're not letting that pass just because the judge is saying only 20 minutes. we still place that same demand and that's what our team is focusing on right now. >> mr. daniels, do you also have the same impression, it will be 20 minutes perhaps redacted? what are you expecting to see? >> i

mr. lynch, you were able to view the body cam footage today with the brown family.solutely, anderson. first, thanks for having us. today was an emotional day. i was able to view the footage with two of mr. brown's sons. and it was very clear to us, we went through six videos. one was the dash cam of one of the vehicles, and then five body cam videos that we were able to watch. >> from different officers, different vantage points? >> that's right, anderson, different vantage points. still, even with the body cams, as you can imagine, we were only able to see what their bodies were actually facing. and so we were limited to be able to see all of the surroundings. of course you've got to remember, anderson, that their faces were redacted, the presiding judge ordered that some of that would be redacted, so we didn't get to see any faces. we were able to see weapons. and we were absolutely able to see mr. brown sitting in his car, afraid. the look on his face, he was terrified, and was in shock when they arrived on the scene. and once a gunshot was fired, the car backed

lynch: thank you. mr. mehrbani. >> implicit in ms. hempowicz's statement, which i will highlight, is the fact that folks who are running these investigations and leading the inspector general offices also need to be independent, which is why i think the reforms to ensure that a president cannot install inspectors general, even in an acting capacity, that have conflicts of interest, is critically important. rep. lynch: great. mr. smith? >> thank you for the question. certainly, effective measures to combat wage fraud and abuse are welcome. i am not familiar with the specifics of your current proposal, but the concerns about ensuring that these actions are not just for show but are effective in terms of a combustion the goals they set out to do, i think that is important. again, congress has multiple tools at its disposal apart from the inspectors general to combat that fraud and abuse. rep. lynch: reclaiming my time, i only have a few seconds. mr. smith, to be honest with you, the inspectors general are really the tip of the sphere. th

mr. james gorman joined merrill lynch and work for more than -- he served as ceo since 2010. welcome, mr. gorman. mr. scharf, you are recognized for five minutes. >> good morning and thank you for the opportunity to be here today. just over a year ago, when i last appeared before congress upon assuming my role as ceo, we are on the verge of the pandemic and i cannot help but look back and think about how little we understood about what 2020 would bring. on the pandemic struck, we all came together to stand up unprecedented at a scale and speed it had never been done before. the process was not perfect, but we the government and others rallied to do what needed to be done. and now, we must continue to work together to ensure a fair and equitable recovery. as we begin taking steps toward recovery, i am proud of wells fargo's efforts to support our customers, our employees and the communities we serve, all while continuing to transform our organization. i believe our country and communities benefit from that strong wells fargo. i am proud that we have been a source of strength fo

the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. lynch, is now recognized for five minutes. the gentlewoman from pennsylvania, ms. dean, is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. are you able to hear me? >> yes, i can hear you very well. >> thank you very much. i, too, want to say to all of the leaders here today testifying, thank you for your work during this pandemic. and when i say that, i recognize as well your officers, your lenders, your employees who have worked tirelessly in partnership with us and the legislation we passed in the first year in a bipartisan way to make sure we got capital and relief out to customers, to businesses, to small businesses and beyond. so i do thank you. i'm particularly thinking of a lender of a bank in my area who was working around the clock to make sure people were getting ppp. i'd like to pivot to an area that i care desperately about and i bet all of you do, too. this year has started with, tragically, heartbreaking and unacceptable amounts of gun violence. reported by "the new york times" there have been 232 mass sh

overseen a situation where your own prime minister now talks about lynchings on the streets, jew on arab, arab onjew. your president, mrow can it be that an israeli government can oversee such a catastrophe in your own country? i can tell you that this is really something, we need to do, anything, anything in order to go back to the... i'm asking you to think hard about how it has come to this pass, you're not doing that. i'm giving you the answer. so, the answer is political from the palestinian side. so, as far as you're concerned, it is absolutely all the palestinians�* fault? this is something we are discussing about israel, inside israel, not something that's happening in gaza, this is something happening in israel. if people, if radicals, if islamist radicals are stabbing people in the streets of london, would you blame the british government for that? if someone is being violent on the streets of london, would you blame the british government for that? come on. there are certain things you need to remember are also part of a political debate in the palestinian society, and i would like to go back to that. there

mr. lance a warm greeting as he arrives. like i said, he ain't flying commercial south bay today. john lynchse, one of the first to greet him. and of course, he'll get a chance to check out the 49ers headquarters in santa clara. and is he also got to unveil his jersey? what number will he wear? it'll be number five. yep. holding it up proudly, and he also talked about receiving an unexpected but very welcome. text last night from another quarterback. i saw a report last night that jimmy garoppolo immediately reached out for your cell phone when you were the pig. did you talk to him? yeah you sent me a text last night and i was, you know. super thankful and grateful for that for him reach now. it meant a lot to me on and i'm super psyched to get to work. get to meet him and learn as much as i possibly can from him. that was from an interview on 95.7 the game and a class act by jimmy garoppolo. you could imagine out some other quarterbacks would act under the same circumstances. hey, you draft an offensive lineman, and this is what you want to hear. he's a bul and he knows it. that's what one

mr. moore, any comment from you? >> you're on mute, i think. >> thank you, congressman lynch. and then bruce turner's team and avc focuses more on the security side and we focus more on the civilian side of trying to set the standards and enforce u.s. interests, so i apologize, i do not have more for you on that. >> okay, let me ask you this. with respect to cyber, we already have norms related to the targeting of critical infrastructure. i'd be curious to hear quickly from all of the witnesses, would you support designating space as a -- as a critical infrastructure sector? and i ask this because dhs is currently doing a congressionally mandated review of critical infrastructure sectors. >> i could step in here briefly and first, i'd like to clean up something i said previously. i referenced the civil talks, that's mr. moore's office, of course, not mr. turner's office. i misspoke previously. on this one with respect to the critical infrastructure question, my understanding is that space has been included as a critical infrastructure in the homeland security context. and ther

mr. blackwell, read things about you that are fascinating. you're not a prosecutor, been oi defense attorney and worked on posthumous pardon for max mason, people lynchedf raping a woman and trial was held and he was sent to prison. what inspires you to get involved in these cases? you did this one for free and took time off your beekeeping to do it. >> beekeeping is just alternative way for me to be stung doing the lawn. but max mason posthumous pardon, we knew we were coming up on the 100-year anniversary of the tragedy in duluth, minnesota, people don't think of the great white north as place where these tragedies took place. but one of the worst, 12,000 locals present for this in town of 100,000. commemoration was coming up, i learned more about the story of max mason, the young circus worker from alabama, only person convicted of this fictitious rape of a white woman. 10,000 onlookers to those that murdered him, none were convicted of doing anything to anyone. and it was just a wrong that i felt needed to be righted, his name needed to be cleared. there was a stain frankly, hovering about the state that needed to be addressed also. seemed to be wo

mr. lance a warm greeting, of course, as he arrives in the south bay he'll meet face to face mask to mask. john lynchr. and, of course, check out 49ers headquarters there in santa clara. get a look at levi stadium. while these. had it where he will be playing in the very near future. and, of course, everyone wanted to know what number he'll be sporting. come this fall, he'll be wearing number five. he talked today on the radio about receiving an unexpected but very welcome text. last night draft night. i saw a report last night that jimmy garoppolo immediately reached out for your cell phone when you were the pig. did you talk to him? yeah he sent me a text last night and i was, you know, super thankful and grateful for that for him reaching out. it meant a lot to me. on. i'm super psyched to get to work, get to meet him and learn as much as i possibly can from him. that's a class move from jimmy garoppolo. good for him and 95.7. thanks for the audio on that particular thing. he's a bully and he knows it. that's what you want to hear us far as the description when you draft an offensive lineman like

lynching. that has not been adjudicated appropriately, i think. >> that's right. it's going to require federal oversight and the union parish district attorney, mr this over to the u.s. attorney's office. so we expect an aggressive investigation and prosecution from the federal government. but we also leave the impetus, the onus on louisiana itself. the people of louisiana and their elected officials have to uphold their state codes. this action is in violation of those state codes. the next push is for mr. belton, we ask for state charges. he seemed committed to pursuing avenues for state accountability and federal accountability. without accountability -- it's not enough to bemoan this terrible thing, without accountability we will see the same thing occurring over and over again. that's the push. >> that's right. you used the term accountability. justice would be if ronald greene were not dead. but there is some ability to get accountability in this thing. i want to remind everybody he died on may 10, 2019. and yesterday we got more video that they were holding on to. that's not the way the world is supposed to turn. lee, good to see you agai

congresswoman steven lynch from massachusetts testifying right now but the hearing centers on the delayed response back on january 6th. christopher miller is one of the witnesses and mr. miller used his moment to strongly defend his decision making. >> i stand by every decision i made on january 6th and the following days. i want to emphasize that our nation's armed forces are to be deployed for domestic law enforcement only when all civilian assets are expended and only as an absolute last resort. >> all right. we go to the hill this morning. garrett, congresswoman was just speaking and you flagged our team to some comments that may be telling. why is that? what was said? >> what's happening in this hearing intersects with the cheney story pretty clearly. the congressman redirected the topic here back to the speech that former president trump was giving on that day and chastised democratic members for saying that speech had anything to do with the capitol riot, which i think any thinking person knows that it does. the president was directing his supporters to fight against what was going on directing them to stop the steal. you have republican members running interf

who would lynched in the united states to close that chapter and move for america hazardous thing to help healed this country. you get pushback because people why you want to student has to mr. enough people are saying that so depressing. i say what you think just to present, try hanging from a tree. me. what can i do? i can't bring them back. but i can give them a prayer. mm. ah. let me choose ah ah ah, good evening. i'm dr. shirley jackson, whittaker, and the question we ask tonight is, why do we need to be here? we need to be here because our country needs to heal and some bad things happen in this country. we americans tortured other americans due to the color of their skin. that went on so long in america. what are you going to do about it? because i remember as a little girl, when we went to a funeral and in law that casket in the ground, the minister was se ashes to ashes to do a lot of people never got so we look back in history. so this patient can leo. we look back in history, so this patient can we look back in history so this patient can become very strong . but this patient could only live and get stronger if they're willing to look back me. so to not restart,

lynching and video of a lynching, i call this at this point, a lot of police porn, it's vulgar and raw and not appropriate for all ages to view that is coming out following the death of mr. greene, and unfortunately what we have by the administration of louisiana is a continuation of a troubling pattern of coverup, of deflection, and it doesn't really bode well for proving or instilling confidence in any investigation that may proceed from this point. >> the family attorney had this to say about the disturbing footages that we saw last night on chris hayes' show. >> this tells me, because this is the supervisor approving these actions, that this is the policy. when someone runs in louisiana, officers feel like they get a free opportunity to be as violent and as cruel as possible. and so we can't blame this on bad apples anymore. this is their policy. this is the defacto policy for the louisiana state police. and that's what we really need to drive home in terms of what we're demanding come from this, is a revamp of that entire department. >> yes, he says the entire department needs a revamp. you know, police departments all across the country, i'm sure you have some kno

mr. brown pose . >> reporter: never? >> never. >> reporter: a prosecutor said the deputies opened fire after brown's car made contact with . the brown family's attorney, chance lynchy saw. so their contention that his car made contact with an officer, did any contact happen? >> i think that the elected did what he wanted to do. he wanted to insinuate, to cause pause and to plant a seed. >> say his name -- >> reporter: the protests demanding the full release of the videos continue as the family and their attorneys call brown's shooting an execution and want the district attorney to recuse himself from the case citing his close working relationship with the pasquotank county sheriff's office. but the district attorney has declined saying, "i stand ready, willing, and able to fulfill my statutory obligations." >> we're asking for an arrest immediately of these officers. you don't need an investigation when you see a cold-bloodedg.>> family and the pecial prosecutor to take over this case. unlike other states, here in north carolina a judge must sign off on the public release of body cam video. in this case, the judge ruled that will not happen until after the investi

mr. zaslav and finally, guys on this whole subject, i did want to mention viacom, carl, you mentioned it earlier, double upgrade from jessica, over at merrill lynchca, and basically what we're discussing yesterday in part, i reported this, there was a willingness on the part of the viacom controlled shareholders to list physician there were any offers and any potential sale would require approval of that controlled shareholder, that is in the form of sherry redstone and in the past she said to be an unwilling seller but the dynamics could increase pressure to consider an offer. >> what changed? the scale issue? >> of course. >> scale, scale, scale. >> we'll see following it closely we'll see what develops. >> and for jessica to do a double upgrade - >> double upgrade. >> not to be confused with a double reverse -- which our company was trying to figure out to get warner. >> or re-sizing of the dividend, which does not mean double it is half it's almost re-size time that's what they will do in the nfl. it's almost re-size time. >> say the word. >> fixated >> yeah. >> cut that and re-size it that's half. re-size is better than none, david. go ahead

lynch roland. the newspaper account was based on false claims that mr.nd sexually assaulted the white woman and decided -- and that is the spark that incited the mob to burn and loot 35 blocks in the black negro neighborhood of tulsa and kill an estimated 300 people. greenwood was known at the time as black wall street due to the status as one of the most prosperous african-american communities in the country. the devastation wrought by the mob, many of whom had been department advertised and armed by local officials -- deputized and armed by local officials, took the lives and livelihoods of many in the greenwood community it. caused irreparable damage -- community. it caused irreparable damage to so many black families who never received justice for their losses. this horrific incident was erased from collective memory when the tulsa tribune destroyed all original copies of the may 31, 1921, edition of the newspaper and removed all copies from their archives. scholars later discovered that police and state militia archives about the riot were missing a
