writers and researchers who could work on getting things going because the people who did show up a lot of times weren't the strongest writers or the best novelists or poets although some of them were. you had people from all walks of life who worked on adjacent professions. you had clerks, librarians, regent college graduates who couldn't find a job, copy writers, people who worked in real estate, that sort of thing, ministers all joined up. so there's a really really diverse group of people who ended up working for the writer's project. we talk about it today as if it was kind of this breeding ground for the best and the brightest literary minds in u.s. literature. a lot of these figures were -- [inaudible]. their experiences were all essential to the project, but the vast majority weren't people who had published something or published of anything renowned in their entire life. the idea was that they could fill the task of the project. from the official point of view, that's what made them a writer. >> right. i want you to talk about the director of the project, and i believe you

who did not benefit. i realized after two or three such encounters that i was in the wrong struggle. in fact, i have a headline in my office that was written by the late bill wrathberry, a headline in 1965, poor negroes do not benefit from the gains of the civil rights movement and it goes on to list the reasons. so i believe that there has been a bifurcation of the black community that existed since then and continues to this day. >> okay. let's -- i still want to stick s on your title for a bit. rescuing american history. >> yes. american history as it was told as it is unfolded, 1619, does not really talk about the true authentic picture of blacks. blacks are never defined by slavery. so some of our essays, for instance, looks at the records of six major plantations at the end of slavery, to look at what was happening in the family. they found that 70% of slave families had a man and a woman raising children. and this tradition of two-parent households continued for a century afterwards. also, when whi

who knew? the angolans who came here on the san juan bautista their legal status we find throughout those early colonial records, and we do not find them as enslaved. indentured servants? no different than the english, we find. as they come out of their indenture, what is even more interesting, we find they have the ability to own their own animals. an enslaved person cannot do that. they were able to indenture they are own children for protection. enslaved people cannot do that. they entered into contracts bought land, leased lands, an enslaved person could not do that. i am going to share with you some of these angolans. i am going to talk fast because my time is running out. anthony mary johnson, on the 164-1625 census. he and his wife became a head right. for every head you bring over you are entitled to 50 acres of land. anthony and his wife are listed as head writes. lo and behold, they came on the treasurer. the tressurer was not allowed to lands. they went to bermuda because of the priv

who was the d.a.? who's running for judge? who's running for the school board? running for all city council or county board, councilperson? all of those races are essential. you put their feet to the fire. do they believe in america? do they believe in free speech? they believe and freedom of religion flex do they think cops are racist? i'm here to tell you not only are cops not material murdering racists, cops are the only line between us and barbarism. you believe in yourself, you believe in god and in this country and you say to yourself every day, thank you lord for putting me in this country. thank you for the people in the military who give me the right to say what i want to say in this country. [applause] by the way, ronald reagan was right. those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. this country was found on judeo-christian ethics. that is who we are. [cheering and applauding] arthel: i want you to. judge jeanine: i want you to repeat after me. i'm american and i am invincible. >> i am american and i am invincible. judge jea

who stayed with you glass. where do you follow on that? i think it could have been jim bridger, but i don't think it's proven yet. there are three people who who knew bridge are very well and the first three stories about hugh glass. come from those three people just not full stories a full story from black moses black harris and a mentioned from pots and a mentioned from james clyman. it wasn't until 17 years later that edmund flagg who was a writer for the louisville literary newsletter produced a kind of a laughable account. there there numerous mistakes that he made in there, but he did say that the men who stayed behind was the young volunteer bridges and a person named fitzgerald. um, and have identified fitzgerald. so and i guess this this is countered by the reason i'm somewhat uncertain one because the story in the louisville literary newsletter from 1839 is really not very reputable. it has among the long river. it has it has so many errors and they're pointed out in the book. but also this man james

so those who stood by us, those who guided our troops, those who translated for us, those who took us into the village, because many of you know the stories about soldiers going in with money. that was a policy at that time. this bill specifically acknowledges their leadership. i support the afghan special immigrant program and i support it's increased numbers and i ask my colleagues, don't stop here. let's keep going. these are our friends. i yield. black >> gentleman from california's recognized. >> opportunity to. reserve >> gentleman from new york is recognized. >> mister speaker and i yield two minutes to the distinguished speaker from connecticut, mr. himes. >> gentleman from connecticut is recognized for two minutes. >> thank you mister speaker thank the gentleman from new york for his leadership and for the two minutes, which may be the most important two minutes that had in this foreign a very long time. because what we debate here is not an ideological disagreement, it is not a question of whether you are a republican or a democrat. it is a fundamental question of who we are

ryan crocker who i really admire is a former u.s. ambassador afghanistan iraq and pakistan and advisor to her innovation called no one up behind advocacy group that focuses on the sib process. and the and finally last but not least, very grateful to have the director public policies. the train immigration and refugee services jill focuses on the efficacy and one of those being the sib for our allies and has a lot of information on the situation of afghanistan. that is going to bring avon tough really relevant information of conversation. thank you for joining me today nevada quickly minor online viewers is an interactive online event. i invite you all to reduce pain through civic questions to our panel. just a million questions please go to our webpage and click on ask live questions here button. enemy start with you ambassador, you been a real partner with me on this issue and what is the challenge that we are currently facing in afghanistan. >> of course the big challenges how do you know the level work and still retain credibility

to figure out what we can do to protect and say those who helped us directly, but also all those whoenvisioned a different society in afghanistan because of our presence and our commitment. we've got to figure out what is next, and what's next is most definitely -- >> ambassador jacobs, i'd love to bring you into this. >> yes, well, from the last set of comments, it sounds like there are a good number of people who don't want to leave afghanistan, who want to stay there and create the society they vision is more diverse and certainly more freedoms for women and girls. for the option for leaving, we have the siv process, we've heard a lot today about how complicated that is. we other options, and it will depend on the environment, and an airport that's open. you could establish an in a country refugee program, if the taliban does wind up being in charge. that could be very difficult. that is an option for identifying people who are being persecuted and need to leave the country. joe manchin humanitarian parole. that would be another option. that is under the authority of the departmen

but who literally just don't know i think about the donna and grace who i met at monticello, right who are two women who are on the tour given by david thorson the tour guided monticello who had given this our long tour. that was really quite direct about jefferson's moral inconsistency about jefferson's relationship to slavery and the fact that he enslaved over 600 people of the course of his lifetime including four of his own children. and these women were so clearly unsettled by what they were hearing and i went up to them after. and they were like i had no idea that jefferson owned slaves. i had no idea that monticello was a plantation and these are folks who who bought plane tickets who rented a car who got a hotel room who came to monticello almost as a sort of pilgrimage and had no conception of the idea that this place was a plantation and that the person who lived there enslaved hundreds of human beings and i think that's that's a microcosm. for how so many people in this country have such a have such little understanding of what slavery was how it's shaped the founding of thi

why am i paying more for my insurance for people who smoke, eat badly, who don't exercise. why am i paying medicare and medicaid premiums, why are they going higher for people who live unhealthy lives, it's not fair, and yet, here we have, again, a situation where you can get a vaccine and you can actually see health care costs drop across this country. and yet, you have governors like ron desantis telling cruise lines they don't have a right to require vaccines. before you get on a cruise ship. and you have other so called libertarians, so called conservatives saying businesses don't have a right to have a vaccine requirement to go in when of course as we have said repeatedly here, all of us had to have five or six vaccines before we could get a public education. so this sort of bizarre libertarianism is actually breaking in favor of big government mandates, telling small businesses what they can and can't do, it really is twisted and bizarre. >> look, nobody objects to the notion that you have to some form of government i.d. to get on an airplane. that's another mandate.

who were the people? who brought them here? where are they now? i think that's a fundamental part. 550 people charged. the video traumatic for those on the frontlines and in the building that day. traumatic for all of us, but especially for the people right there. reminds us 550 people charged. there are more than 500 people out there. the people, the sentiment, the lie is being told. the lie is being told to the people who were there fuel bid a lie. so the foundation of the committee is there are still questions to be answered. the politicians, all of them, did a perfectly fine job. but the power of the testimony from the four men in uniform about how they risked their lives on that day and the questions they have, i think that laid the foundation for you're right, a lot of challenging work for the committee going forward. can they get trump white house cooperation and people to turn over the documents and people to relive that day? we have a long way to go. mccarthy wanted to say we don't need this. the officers made the point of why we do. >> o

who funded it? who executed it? we've seen over 500 arrests from the fbi of those who actually were physically involved in beating police officers down and terrorizing members of congress and their staff and the people who work in the capitol. but we want to know the complete story and we're going to get to the bottom of it. that's exactly what the select committee will do with or without kevin mccarthy the minority leader. we take that word for granted a lot. with or without his help >> representative val demmings thank you very much more being here. really appreciate you making some time. now with me chief strategist for bush/cheney campaign and i'm so glad you're with us. it feels like things have got worse since january 6th. i remember reading the reports when trump ran for office he inspired a uptick in violent white nationalism. the chatter was this is our guy. he's gone now. even without his presence daily on social media we have members of congress openingly paling around with people who marched in charlotte

it's who we are.e here tonight, today, all of you serving around the world, it is a the greatest honor to serve as your commander in chief. jill and i -- [ cheers and applause ] jill and i, and our entire family, thank you for your service and sacrifice. like so many military families, thank you for the loved ones who served. we think of our son, beau, today. you are all part of a long chain of patriots who pledged their lives and their sacred honor in defense this nation and democracy around the world, for freedom and fair play, for peace and security, and opportunity, for the cause of justice, for the soul of america itself. but the defense of all that we love doesn't fall on your shoulders alone. it falls on all of us, every one of us, every american. each day, we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy, nothing guaranteed about our way of life. we have to fight for it. defend it. earn it. folks, it's up to all of us to protect the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi

less everyone who put them in that position, who called for them to be there, who organized for them to be there, who paid for them to be there and brought us towards that moment, all of those people more or less escaped accountability. now, the hope is that some accountability and some more transparency about what happened will be introduced through the new house select committee investigating the january 6th attack. the chair of that committee will be joining me in just a moment. another member of the committee, democratic congressman adam schiff of california, told my colleague nicolle wallace that there are concentric circles of culpability they will be investigating, including potentially members of congress. >> what was the organization of that event like, and how much forewarning was there of violence among those who were organizing it? how much foreknowledge was there in the white house that this might turn violent? what happened on the day of the insurrection? why did it take so long to get reinforcements to the capitol? was there anyone standing in the way of sending those

if he is talking to the negotiators in the senate, one minute, who knows who he is talking to the nextust because he is not standing in front of microphones doing this, doesn't mean he is not sitting at telephones doing what is necessary. i would say that those of us who operate in public life do not always operate in public view. >> you famously gave biden the push he needed in the primary season with your endorsement. i wonder as you look at the clock ticking here, are you worried that time is running out on the biden agenda? >> no, i'm not worried at all. i've been here long enough to know that it ain't over until it's over. we're in session. the house for the rest of the week at least. the senate, through next week. i think a lot can get done in the week or two. i expect a lot to get done in the next two weeks. this notion that just because we are up against the clock means we are failing, nothing could be further from the truth. if you watch the senate operate over the years, you do know a lot of things can happen in that moment just before midnight. >> you are optimistic. we will

who incited, who brought those people here. why the people were made to believe that the process was rigged. >> i need you guys to address if anyone in power had a role in this. if anyone in power coordinated or aided or abetted or tried to downplay, tried to prevent the investigation of this terrorist attack. >> i use an analogy to describe what i want as a hitman. if a hitman is hired and he kills somebody, the hitman goes to jail. but not only does the hitman go to jail, but the person who hired them does. it was an attack carried out on january 6th, and a hitman sent them. i want you to get to the bottom of that. >> joining us is the man tasked with getting to the bottom of that, chairman of the january 6th select committee, mississippi congressman bennie thompson. congressman, thank you for joining us. i know today is a long and busy one for you. it continues. so we appreciate some of your time. the testimony of those officers laid waste to the criticism that we have been hearing literally since january 7th that there's no

i hope people who are listening to you and others who have done the work.ing and neil katija is going to break it down. stay with us. katija is going to break it down stay with us that new dove breakage remedy gives damaged hair the strength it needs. even with repeated combing hair treated with dove shows 97% less breakage. strong hair with new dove breakage remedy. still fresh unstopables in-wash scent booster shows 97% less breakage. downy unstopables >>> there has been a lot of news today. here we are kicking off the week, i want to get into another aspect of this. every time a new administration comes into office, there is always a big decision on when to hold the line on executive prerogative. the biden administration may be doing things may benefit trump officials. it comes down to a matter of policies and ethics when exceptions are made. that's the basic framework for the headlines you may have seen. most justices should be clear say they try to do what's fair on a case by case basis. the justice department is serving up bad news for trump administr

i think donna race at monticello who are two women who divorced the tour guide at monticello who had given this hour-long tour that was really quite direct about jefferson and moral inconsistency, about his relationship to slavery and the fact thathe enslaved over 600 people over the course of his lifetime . and these women were so clearly unsettled by what they were hearing and they were like, i had no idea jefferson owned slaves. i had no idea monticello was a plantation and these were folks who bought plane tickets, who went to the car and got who hotel room and came to monticello as a pilgrimage and had no conception of the fact that this place was a plantation and the person who lived there and slaveshundreds of human beings . i think that's a microcosm for how so many people in this country have such a, have such little understanding of what slavery was , how to shake the founding of this country and consequently how continues to shape every part of our social political andeconomic infrastructure . >> is funny you say that because i was thinking about them a lot . i was thinkin

so who was grace and can america's dna detectives find out who killed her?he middle of the us to follow a case that has stumped the police for more than 30 years now. and i'm particularly interested in it because the police are using a technique involving dna tracing that's revolutionising cases of missing people and also murder investigations, but it's also controversial. in december 1990, a body of a woman was discovered near an abandoned farmhouse in mcdonald county, south—western missouri. the victim had been restrained with six types of rope. the police knew she'd been murdered, but little else. it's gonna be 0scar talley road. all right, awesome! we'll see you in a bit. thanks. wow! this really is a dirt road. we are in the middle of nowhere. hi, i'mjames. nice to meet you. and you, sir? i'm gary from up the road. lovely to meet you. lieutenant hall has been working the case for 14 years. although he's driven by, he's never been to the site where the body was found. gary pugh, a neighbour who lived on the road at the time of the discovery, has come to

who attacked the capitol. who call themselves patriots. and that word, patriot, has now been kind of taken over by far-right, you know, there were far-right nationalists, who marched, i think, it was through philadelphia the other day calling themselves patriots. you read what milley was doing, and which, you know, is obeying the constitution. it's -- it's standing up to the oath that he and serving members have taken. i mean, that's what a pay triot does. >> that is kpaexactly right, anderson. it's exactly right. so patriot is someone who stays committed to that oath to the constitution, despite the politics and the craziness swirling around. does the right thing for the american people. obeying the law. unlike the direction they were being pushed by the -- by the presidency of the united states. it's just -- it's just absolutely stunning. and the way that that crowd, that attacked our capitol on january 6th, has completely co-opted patriotism is an offense and should be an offense to all americans. those are not patriots who threw themse

as someone who studied law i know there are perfect pieces and as someone who was in the legislature helping to write some of these laws and doing my best to defeat other lost i will always think i'll be unable to separate the two because we don't havejustice in the abstract, justice applies to people . we are making choices about what consequences are but also what the quality of humanityis. and for me those two things are so inextricably linked . that story has to deal with both pieces and that's why i seem characters who don'thave as much nuance or convention as i would have liked . but it was important to have a story that really shows that there are somegood people. there are bad people and there's people inbetween who have to decide which side they're going to land on . >> i think your book does a good job of , and this is like for me and for a lot of writers this is hashtag goals but this is what we want to do where you really are invested in drawing a story that people can take down to the beach and be wholly absorbed and not turn the page but at the same time you want them t

her, who did this? a chance the actual murder can be solved? i really do. i think the murder can be solved now we know who she is. and try to find the people who knew her when she was an adult, and up to the point of the time when she disappeared, that would be crucial in trying to find out who she is. —— who actually did this. as far as unidentified human remains cases, if you look at the national missing and unidentified persons system, there are, ithink, like, 13,000 sets of unidentified human remains. i think a lot of these cases are solvable. they may have at one point not been solvable, but now that this technology is available, i think that it isjust going to be solve after a solve after solve. injune, shawna beth gabba was buried in buckland, kansas. her brother, rob, and sister danielle, looking on. there's still so much they do not know about their sister. they still don't have a picture of her as an adult. whatever your view of the technology, though, a family was at least able to say goodbye

washington who of course wrote up from slavery. who are others? let's say in the post world war ii era, since 1945, who would you come so making up to you and said listen, i'm hearing what you are saying. it's resonating with me. who are people. they could even be journalist. they could be historians, they could be political scientists, they could be whatever, thinkers. who are the people that you would urge people to read and pay attention to? >> guest: well, some of them are my contemporaries. i really think pastor buster source in somerset, new jersey, would certainly be one. frank read in baltimore. there's a number of, i have a whole list of graduate students, willie peterson in cincinnati, ohio. most of the leaders are not national figures. they are local. there are thousands, there's one woman whose deceased, she was profiled on 60 minutes. she went into public housing development and turned it around to the point where the drug dealers were driven out and market great house was built right across the street. to be great in washington, d.c.

i am talking about the people who are dying, who are actually coming down with it. especially, the children. if you saw martin savidge's report tonight. just heartbreaking. >> people who are seen with significant cases and hospitalizations are getting younger. part of the metric here is ignorance. but part of it is, also, arrogance. this misplaced sense of righteous indignation and resistance that they believe is a false manifestation of freedom. this is not an issue of freedom. of course, you ever the freedom to make choices about your own body. let's put to the side the irony that so many of these people don't want to afford that freedom to women. but what we're saying is, does it mean it's the right choice? and these suggestions. uh, i think the vaccine is safe, but -- you have the freedom not to take it. but i don't know that the science lines up. but i don't know why they're changing the guidance. these suggestions fuel resistance, and i think it's a mistake. >> you -- you know what we don't talk about? and maybe, you've talked about it on your radio show. or m

as the guy who did this. the guy responsible for the january 6th attack on the capitol, and now that guy is going to possibly sit on the committee to investigate what happened. these are reportedly the five that mccarthy is chosen. there are a couple things we do not know when. speaker of the house nancy pelosi first announced this select committee, one of the things she said was that she would have veto power over the appointments. so right now it's unclear whether or not she will use or give these members the okay. people who actively voted against democracy and the day of the capitol riot. that's something to watch. we'll talk more about that with congress and james clyburn just a little bit later in the show. generally if you feel a sense of dÉjÀ vu, as you survey the landscape of american democracy, the politics in this moment, you are not alone. i feel it to. we have very much been here before. there are so many ways in which the first year of the biden administration harkens back to the first year of t

but most importantly, these police officers who were on the front lienes, who were beaten, who were sprayed with bear spray, who continue to suffer injuries, some who came close to dying that day, will be able to help tell us what happened and also give content to these video images many people have seen but don't really understand what was going on. >> it is remarkable, when you think about 9/11 and the horrific attack on america and american democracy, that day. um, and the -- the -- the amount of investigation. the amount of attention, bipartisan, that was rightfully paid to it. it is -- just when you step back, and try to kind of remove the politics from it. just on a purely historic and national-security basis, it is kind of stunning that we're in this position where it's, now, a politicized -- it's seen through the lens of politics if you want to know more about what actually happened. >> well, that's exactly right and of course you could have made the same point after 9/11. do we really need an investigation? don't we know al qaeda attacked us and they used aircraft? what more is the

but the 16 nay votes are a who's who of trump loyal, conspiracy peddling individuals, many of whom whoiving a reason for why voting, and those who have have gone ban to a nonsensical argument. these 16 republicans spat in the face and in the faces of the american troops, with whom they stood. it it's about helping people who helped us, because we want we would, and because it's the right thing to do. because with me is the democratic representative jason crow of colorado, he's a former army ranger, three tours of duty. the congressman was also the lead sponsors of the allied act of 2021, alongside 24 bipartisan members of congress. congressman, how do you respond to the people who voted against this bill? >> yeah, i don't. you know, it's a shame, they were wrong, they're going to have to live with that stain for the rest of their lives, but the story of the allies act, the story of us coming together on thursday to pass this bill is actually the story of the 400-plus people that came together to do it. as you know, this is pretty significant in this environment. >> huge. >> 400 people

officer michael fanone, who was beaten with a flagpole, tased with his own taser, who pleaded for his, i have kids. who told me whitewashing the lies are an assault on every officer who fought to defend the capitol. >> i'm not a politician. i'm not an elected official. um, i don't expect anybody to give two shits about my opinions. but i will say this. you know, those are lies. and peddling that bullshit is an assault on every officer that fought to defend the capitol. it's disgraceful. >> officer harry dunn, who spoke out about the racist attacks he and other black officers experienced. who told me, the lies of insurrection deniers are like a slap in the face. >> some republican lawmakers and even former -- the former president. they are trying to rewrite history saying that the riots, that they weren't that bad and that the rioters were actually antifa. um, i know you have said that this isn't political, for you. but how do you respond to them twisting the truth, like that? >> it's hurtful. it's hurtful and it's kind of, like, a slap in the face without even asking us or talking to

who will work with us.appening in more american states, red states, and in the south and the midwest, they passed new laws that prohibit or make it a crime for our local law enforcement to work with federal agencies on certain issues particularly as it relates to gun trafficking. we're running into more and more hurtles in how we fight crime. we will continue to work with our young people and opportunities with everything under the sun, but most of our murders are committed by firearms. we have too mary. too many that are sold illegally in gun shows, and we need take sure we limit that. >> dickerson: the attorney general was in chicago, and they're focusing on five cities. kansas city is not one of them. could you use a little more federal attention on that issue of gun trafficking? >> mayor: you know, we've had a wonderful relationship with the white house so far. i've appreciated this administration. i will note something different from the last administration: when they are working with us, they call us

who riled that crowd up? and who deployed them to the capitol of the united states for the specific objective of stopping the steal? what he meant of course is us acting. and his vice president, who he talked to on numerous occasions about stopping the election, concluded that that was not legal. that was not within his authority. so he acted consistent with the law. that really annoyed mr. trump. so here we are. we should have had a bipartisan commission. we should are moved that forward. and, yes, we should support the capitol police by adopting a supplemental. by the way, the senate supplemental is more, in terms of dollars, than the house supplemental. so it's not a question of the we spent too much money to do this, to make the capitol safe, to make the capitol police armed, to give them opportunity to get intelligence that they need to conceive. what a distraction that the capitol police weren't prepared . the question is not whether were they prepared, the question is why did american citizens try to c

who would be and who would be responsible for our accommodation? who would be our living cost? because we have kids, we would have no job going into the country. we would have no house. we have to pay for the rent we have for many other expenses. are we going to get to pick all this is sponsibility, or be gone a p, as all this living costs, one part, and the other part is a key. evacuate as to the 3rd country can to tell us how long we would we would be stuck on those can crease. there shouldn't be an estimation of the timeframe for that. because has we have seen this i, it's been like more than 2 years to wait only for comb approve, but it's my cheek may be too much longer than this to, to get our ve the and we will have no, this isn't in those countries. why? why they are not evacuating as directly to this big if our case is complete, if they're not asking us for any documentation, if they see your documents are all completed, we do not require any document. so it would be not difficult for them to review it quickly. and provide them all if they need anything so they can requ

they were watching for trait, people who allied with the occupiers -- traitors, people who allied withhe occupiers. as a result it was just very dangerous. the last 1/3 of the book goes into what happened when our interpreters made it to the united states. the cultural assimulation transitions that occurred. and how that happened with these courageous sponsors who opened their doors to welcome them here to the united states. and so anyway, that tells the story from that time and it was a labor of love to get that out there and try to flag possibilities for how we can do things in other countries that are conflict zones as well. david: thanks for sharing that bit of history. fraidoon, i want to ask you about the situation for interpreters who are still in kabul. as steve said earlier, it's great to see you and know that you're safe here in the united states. but i gather that there are many battlefield interpreters who have been promised these special immigrant visas but when they go to the u.s. embassy for what they hope is the final step, they're told not yet. what are you hear intere

africa who can't get vaccinated yet."s about the frustration and rage she feels that people are not getting vaccinated in missouri and what this means. and also the number of younger and younger people who are sicker and sicker, they are saying sicker than anyone they saw last year. >> yeah. there ar tworagedies there. globally, massive vaccine and equity. when i looked at the stats a few weeks ago, only about 10% of the world's populatn has been fully vaccinated and in many parts of the world, across the entire continent of africa, just 1% of people have been. that is horrifying. we in the united states are living with the situation where vaccines -- vaccine supply far outstrips demand and people are struggling to fin was ford people to get vaccinated. across the world, people are clamoring for vaccines. countries like the u.s. hoarded vaccines. we are now with delta ripping for the world, i don't think we have a lot of time to vaccinate the rest of the world. this is a matter of intense moral urgency. i am not sure rich

eastern it's msnbc's special live hour with the democrats who walked out of the texas legislature, who left the state of texas under threat from the texas governor that they would all be arrested on their return. by leaving the texas state capitol, by leaving the state, so they're beyond the reach of texas law enforcement, these democrats are preventing a quorum in the state legislature back home, which means that in very practical terms they're preventing texas republicans from passing draconian new voting restrictions. at least for now. they could have gone anywhere outside of texas. they chose to come to washington, d.c. specifically to ask for federal help, to ask for new federal protections that could set a floor on voting rights that no state can fall below. that of course is the idea behind the for the people act. the for the people act is busy not passing the united states senate right now. basically because of one conservative democratic senator named joe manchin. the texas democrats have met with him directly. they have met with other senators as well. they've met with white

is trying to get over on who, who's trying to spin who, what to believe? when you take those quotes by these two very good reporters and then think back to the actual public evidence, the picture is even more unnerving than it was before. let's start even before the election. donald trump spent the summer whipping up fears about election integrity seeing mail-in ballots were fraudulent. then called the whole election rigged at the first debate at the end of september. >> everybody has to ballots, this is going to be a fraud like you've never seen. a rigged election. it means you have a fraudulent election. you are sending 80 million ballots. these people aren't equipped to handle it, number one. number two, they cheat. >> on october 11th a few weeks before the election, general milley, chair of the joint chief of staff's, gave an interview with npr when he said the military doesn't swear an oath of allegiance to any individual. and then he said this. >> i think that we have a very, very long tradition of an apolitical military. that's embedded, really, fro

everybody who died in maryland who had covid were unvaccinated. we should be focusing on access to vaccines particularly in the african american community right here today. thank you. >> : the question was are we considering reinstituting mask mandates. we're considering basically providing guidance on suggested mask wearing in certain instances. we do ask that people who are not vaccinated when they go indoors wear a mask. for those vaccinated we don't have a mask requirement further than that. we're looking at a change to the policy but not necessarily a mandate. all right. thank you. >> : and given the public healtw some agreed lifting the restrictions until the conference. participating today via tele conference. this will ensure the safety of the board an staff and the public. it may not be as seamless as we would like it to be. a reminder to the board members and staff to mute themselves. we are not providing

who are living in our area. they know me like this guy was interpreter and they will tend to talk about like, there are some people that they will tell like he was a linguist. i will not go never to that again. i will marry work to the translator for the us department of defense and state she 1st applied for a visa in 2017. her application is under review. it's really difficult survive here . and every down way thing if, if i gave any emails for the location and evacuation, but unfortunately, we don't have con approval yet, so it's making me hopeless. who knows? i will get it or not. in a statement the taliban suit. africans who have worked with foreign forces should not be scared. it sees it hopes interpret his stay to serve their country. and if they do, they will not be threatened by the group interpreters we spoke to found that hard to believe is not a threat to thrash on thought of them. we cannot guarantee our lives with them. they cannot trust them. security is tight with the u. s. embassy refusing to rel

anyone who thinks his head was still in the clouds, this is a man who lives with his head in the clouds. we saw that. he talked about the mementos he took with him, including a picture from 1989 when branson flew a balloon over london pretending it was a ufo. this is who he is, he wanted people to see inside that life and wanted family to see the technology. one of the things that they talked about in the press conference, they talked about any issues that were had. there was a 90-minute delay because of the winds. thereof talk from the tech operator who wishes the signal was better from inside the plane that went to the edge of space. but what they wanted to do was showcase this to the world. they did it. i spoke to someone who works with richard branson inside vkt. you made a joke about billionaires and rich folks coming in, going to space and coming back in time for dinner. i asked is richard branson aware of the euro finals. we heard he is going to watch it and put it on the screen. you saw a bunch of giddy brits up there. i think it goes to show you the mood happening in this compa

who's tougher, who's stronger, who says the toughest things, and that is a lot of what's happening on the republican party side right now and even if you talk to some republicans who you probably would think would be okay with all of that, they're not either. they're also americans. >> they're very concerned, but what are they planning to do about? it would are they willing to do about it? >> right now, nothing. right? they've opened doors. they say behind closed doors because they are -- they're scared that with a kind of build and what they've built up with former president trump is going to swallow them hole and so they're caught between a rock and a hard place and between the chair and the campaign of the house republican side, we didn't play book interview with him months ago and they said he doesn't want donald trump in the primaries kind of mocking about. he said it wouldn't be helpful. you know what i mean? so he said that publicly and that's exactly what is going to happen because just like they said a little bit ago, they're worried that they're gonna have these far-right ca

he then found social media postings from the event, not from people who are actual trump supporters who wanted to brag about the fact that they've been there. in fact, there was suspicious dearth of posts like that. instead, what he found with social media post from new york city actors. people who you regularly used our social media accounts to promote acting gigs and which they have participated. that was the social media record of the event. so piecing all of that together and then by the day after the trump campaign launch, hollywood reporter actually got its hand on an email sent out by the company called extra mile casting. extra mile. it's a bit of a double entendre. they say, will go the extra mile for you. but it's also a company that provides extra support of shoots and movies and tv shows and stuff. extras are acting jobs but it's not people who have speaking roles generally it's warm bodies in the background of a scene somewhere. particularly if you need a lot of them. people who are otherwise trying to get better gigs of actors will sometimes take a gives an extra to make e

who did it? where did it come from? who was motivated by it?n reports and the possibility of some sort of foreign interference pushing these groups and instigating this through online means. that is certainly the work of this committee to make sure we overturn every stone, to find that information. and really understand the full picture of what happened that day, what led up to that day. and find ways to prevent this from happening again in the future. >> how much of understanding that involves the president and the white house? the new book by carol leonnig and phil rucker in "the washington post" about how he delighted in watching the insurrection as it took place. there's some reporting that mike pence was the one who ultimately had to call in the national guard. there's that big gap in time. how much of your investigation will ultimately center on what the president knew and did and when he did it? >> it's certainly part of it. i think liz cheney outlined this very well in her opening statement yesterday, and i think we all agree we need to
