capitol police officer. and no matter how late i leave at night, the last person i see is almost always a u.s. capitol police officer. i was working in this building on 9/11, and one of the last people to leave that morning as the capitol police were encouraging us to get out of the building, but the last person i saw as i left the building, who was still in the building was a capitol police officer. the capitol police have a hard job to do. they not only defend us, but they defend democracy in a way that other police officers are not asked to do. and they always do it at the highest level of professionalism and dedication, never more evident than it was on january 6. it was a difficult and sad day for americans, but especially for law enforcement officers who serve and protect the capitol. and for their families, mr. president. i've often said that maybe very possibly the hardest job to do in america today is to be the family member of someone who works in law enforcement. maybe the second-hardest job is to

the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. cruz: mr. president, reserving the right to object, because joe biden's multibillion-dollar gift to vladimir putin is a generation algae owe political mistake, because it strengthens russia at the expense of america, and it undermines u.s. national security, i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. murphy: mr. president, i am at the final unanimous consent request. i will make it in a moment. just to note as we're wrapping up here, this has taken a while. and this list of pending nominees is going to grow. it's going to get longer and longer. there are going to be more key posts that are going to go unfilled. and i understand senator cruz's desire to use his power to hold these nominees in order to get a change in policy from this administration. i -- i doubt that the administration, which has already set a clear direction, it has executed an agreement with the germans is going to abide. my worry, though, is that this won't be the end. this is not going to be the l

the police officers who will testify today and, frankly, all capitol hill police officers deserve to have more help that day, but the democrats couldn't do it because of the political decision they had taken all throughout last year. that's the fundamental question that will be answered. >> monday night on the communicators -- >> you've seen the pandemic takeover early in the year. you're seeing infrastructure takeover now. there are a lot of big tech topics that still attract interest. data privacy is something that was hugely front and center in the tech space in between 19 and 2020 initially. those things are kind of off to the side a little right now. important people are interested, but there is not any consensus proposal out there in either chamber that's really going to move in any imminent ways. >> the future of the tech industry, monday night on the communicators on c-span2. >> the world changed in an instant but media, was ready. internet traffic soared and we never slowed down. schools and

how big of a struggle is this for officers?escribe as an epidemic, law enforcement suicides, it's a big problem. >> it's not just that, also. it's this. it's the denial of what happened to you by the very -- some of the very folks you saved. i want to put up this video. this is video, it shows how you almost died on january 6th. some republicans -- we don't have to play. you know what some republicans have said that day, mike. the denials. it's having an impact on officers' health, no? >> it certainly had an impact on my mental health. having experienced the strtraum that i did, and having deny its reality. but law enforcement is an incredibly difficult profession. we experience people at their worst almost all the time. and you know, one of the things that i think has really brought this to bear for me is, you know, we need to normalize the conversation, not just in the law enforcement community. but early in american culture, we need to normalize a conversation about folks struggling with trauma, and mental health issues. we

these officers are heroes. [applause] and these officers are patriots.y deserve this day and every day to be honored. some officers continue to suffer from injuries seen and unseen and i want to make it clear that you know that you are not alone and we all stand with you. and of course, there are other officers who tragically lost their lives. there is nothing he can do -- we can do to bring these officers back or take away the peel -- the pain their families feel, but it is my prayer that their sacrifice will serve as a constant reminder of the work we must all do together, of the vigilance we must have in order to protect our democracy. so i return to the senate at around 8:00 p.m. the night of january 6, and we gathered in the senate chamber. in the same chamber where the new deal was struck and the great society was forged. in the same chamber where the interstate highway system was started and voting rights were won. and in that chamber, just before 1:00 a.m., as officers stood guard, the final vote was tallied. democrats, independents and republica

sergeant, officer hodges -- you are great law enforcement officers and a hero to law enforcement officers across the country. great public servants, hero public servants across the country and you're grade americans and heros to all of america. and long after you are gone, you will be remembered as heroes to our country, along with your fellow officers. and those who attacked you and those who beat you are fascist traitors to our country and will be remembered forever as fascist traders. now, officer dunn, i've got to start with you because you're my constituent and the pride of maryland today. because of the way you stood up for the capitol and for the congress and for our democracy. but you said something fascinating in your testimony. you said you've never seen anybody physically assault a single officer before in your 13 years on the force, much less thousands and thousands of people attacking hundreds of officers. so, how did you experience that when it first happened? >> with regards at the never -- sure i've seen videos of officers being attacked and people resisting arrest. but ne

officers. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there is. the clerk will call the roll. vote: the presiding officer: the yeas are 15,the nays are 48. the amendment is agreed to. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. inhofe: mr. president, i call up my amendment number 3331 and ask that it be reported by number. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the amendment by number. the clerk: mr. inhofe for himself and others proposes an amendment numbered 3331. mr. inhofe: my friends, my amendment is designed to protect a very small population, a very significant population. they're babies with down's syndrome. over two-thirds of the unborn babies diagnosed with down's syndrome in the united states are aaborted. some countries like iceland are eradicating their entire population of individuals with down's syndrome through abortion. now, i think we agree that an individual should not be discriminated against due to his or her chromosome count. it is not partisan. it is not extreme. 70% of americans, in

i peeked out a window in a darkened office, i actually went into this darkened office and peeked out through a porthole window up at the top of that portion of the gallery. and i saw the other side of the capitol, and there weren't so many protesters. it did not look anything like what was happening on the others. so i had some reassurance that all is well, at least on this side. with that, i heard a radio system talking about infiltration of the capitol visitor center, almost like a radio report, that someone had gotten into the capitol visitor center. that's when i went back in the gallery in that's when we got that series of instructions. your mind just says, maybe the capitol police are having to deal with two dozen people. it seemed so ad hoc, they said we are going to get you to a safe place, and they started yelling rayburn cafeteria. and streams of us went down escalators through the tunnels, journalists and others and staff together, with many members, of course. with very few officers visible to us. in fact, wyman who was directing traffic literally had on one of those yell

the police officers who will testify today and, frankly, all capitol hill police officers deserve to have more help that day, but the democrats couldn't do it because of the political decision they had taken all throughout last year. that's the fundamental question that will be answered. the recor ensuring free and fair elections. >> election officials have faced threats and harassment after they were unfairly blamed for election results in the 2020 election that certain politicians and voters did not like. they do not want to accept. last year, threats for some election workers were so bad that they had temporarily abandoned their homes, spent their money on increased home security, or even secure around-the-clock police surveillance. election

but if i wasn't there, i'd be in his office. and after that meeting, i marched into his office. i closed the door, and in about as solemn a face as i could muster around my twin brother, i told him, if what i'm about to tell you ever becomes public, the president will be impeached. and it was clear as day to me. >> you had a handful of people who stood up back then. today we see representatives liz cheney, adam kinzinger standing up for truth in the face of the big lie. they're putting everything on the line for what is right. you have a message for them? >> i do. i think it's one of the key messages i try to communicate in the book, and that's you know what the right thing to do is. you've done it repeatedly. you've trained yourself how to do the right thing. all you need to do is trust in yourself and follow through. and frankly, my book is what i would like to believe is a tool to help folks overcome some of those challenges, train themselves to be better, and maybe each one of us could be a little bit better about dealing with challenges. >> listen, i wish you the best in li

they threatened, attacked, and beat up police officers. they threatened the lives of elected officials. they chanted "hang mike pence" famously. and when one insurrectionist tried to jump through the doors leading to the house chamber and a capitol officer shot her, instead of defending blue lives, they spent months turning ashli babbitt into a mortar, whipping up a frenzy of hate towards this police officer. so it was predictable that when lieutenant michael bird came forward, that fox would come after him. >> so she was an unarmed protester. i don't think we execute unarmed protesters, do we? well, we just did. no one's apologized for it. he's a hero. michael bird executed an enemy of the biden administration, so they're praising him. but we call that courage, we've devalued the term. >> executed. it's been clear forever through donald trump's whole campaign and his presidency that law and order and respect for law enforcement is not some actual principle for these people. there's no abstract thing they believe in. what they believe in i

officer jeffrey smith.crow, who, of course, witnessed all of the rioting and the violence firsthand. i appreciate you joining us. we don't know the specifics of these officers' suicides, but we know based on testimony from other members of law enforcement who were there about the brutality and the trauma of the insurrection. as someone who lived through that day, someone who served the country as an army ranger, what are your thoughts on this moment and your messages tonight to the families of those officers? >> yeah, thanks, john, for having me on. first, just terribly heartbreaking for these officers and their families that are now dealing with the loss of a loved one. and what this shows is that people can't move on from this type of trauma. you know, you just can't sweep this under the rug. you can't expect people to move on like some of my colleagues want to try to do. this sticks with people. when you are in a situation like this and as dark of a day this was and as brutal as the insurrection was, as

it just so happens that officer mike fanone, someone you may see on our air happened to know officer gunther. >> gunther was the most professional police officer. so much more needs to be done to normalize the conversation around mental health not just in our profession. we need to take away the stigma of talking about these issues. this is a heartbreaking development, and we can't know in this moment what role responding to the insurrection might have played. suicide is as personal as it is complicated. however, this is now this heartbreaking string that threads these four men together. and brianna, officer howard livinggood, capitol police officer, took his own life three days after responding to the insurrection. officer jeff rey smith took his life a little over a week and a half after responding to the insurrection. there is effort underway to make mental health, provide more resources for these officers. for example, with the security supplemental that was recently passed, there are more resources with the capitol police department dedicated to mental health. that is in the nam

the police officers who will testify today and, frankly, all capitol hill police officers deserve to have more help that day, but the democrats couldn't do it because of the political decision they had taken all throughout last year. that's the fundamental question that will be answered. that's why republicans are not serving on this committee. now i want to yield to the ranking member of the house administration, mr. davis. >> leader mccarthy spd be raking them on house administration committee in the last congress he told me to fix things around this capital. which is what i, as image and we introduce the capitol police advancement act during the last congress that would've increased transparency and accountability through semi annual reports and addressing many of the issues that have been propped up four years, and ig reports, gao studies, and other different forms of communication with congress. the democrats chose not to advance our legislation to help our officers. it's with great discipline it today that i don't get to question my friend harry dunn added okay to talk to them

we are chicago mer, laurie lightfoot, who took office in 2019 met officers at the hospital where there are reports that officers gave lightfoot the cold shoulder as she approached them risking their lives every day for our safety and security. that reality became very real last night in an emergency room, monks tiers and fears from the finest and the most courageous people. i know lightfoot has been a controversial figure in the eyes of the chicago police back when she was inaugurated in 2019 as the city's 1st black woman and openly gay female mer. lightfoot vowed throughout her campaign to remove the chicago pd's gang database, implement civilian oversight of policing, and fully removed immigration and customs enforcement or ice agents. in 2020, it was a different story. lightfoot, 2020 budget proposal gave a 7 percent increase to chicago's p. d. budget, but 6 months later, lightfoot responds to the killing of george floyd by a minneapolis police officer, came under fire. along with her response to the coven 19 pandemic. lightfoot was accused of not prioritizing student safety by remo

the 1st officer to die in the line of duty since slight for took office. and the 1st female chicago police officer to die in the line of duty since 1988 for news use hughes. i'm fair in france. back turning 60 is a really big deal, and it should be celebrated as well as a landing, a multi $1000000.00 pay day from a $2700.00 page legislative bill. but both come with a cost. now over the weekend, the president obama threw himself a star studded 60th birthday party. now the endless numbers of celebrities and friends joyfully celebrated all weekend long. even ending with a brunch with oprah on sunday. but what was told to the public after 1st disclosure last week was going to be a very down scaled event footage from the hawaiian thing. but lou well, out of the obama just stayed on martha's vineyard, reveals not only the grey dancing skills, the politician and his friends, but almost that most of them do not practice what they publicly preach. sore critics just party papers or is it rules for thee? but not for days. so to give us a 360 view, we welcome politica

from the office to the home office a year ago, do we bring it back, leave it here, replicate?o we create the workplace and also keeput the finance acrs from that. not every company wants to or has the capacity to fully outfit eachem employee. so any advice on that? >> it's not going to be needed. the fundamental question i would ask is why are you going in the office? what is the plan for those who want to spend one or two days in the t office of the organization says w we want you here once, twice a week. is it to bond more or have more meetings with others? is it to sit and do the same work that you would do at home, which to me is not a realistic picture. so i think what is going to end up happening is we have to think about what we do in the office versuswh what we do at home. if we force people back, given the data that i mentioned earlier, for them to go into the office and commute -- everyone tells me gosh, that commute, i amd so glad i'm not doing it anymore, commute to do the same thing when you are at the office presumably it's to work closely with others so it will

these officers are heroes. [ applause ] and these officers are patriots. [ applause ] around they deserve today and every day this honor. our nation is grateful for your service. and now there are some officers who, of course, continue to suffer from the injuries seen and unseen. now i want to make it clear that you know that you are not alone and that we all stand with you. the and, of course, there are other officers who tragically lost their lives. there's nothing we can do to bring these officers back or to take away the pain their families feel now. but it is my prayer that their sacrifice will serve as a constant reminder of the work we must all do together, of the vigilance we must have in order to protect our democracy. so i return to the senate at around 8:00 p.m. the night of january 6th, and we gathered in the senate chamber, in the same chamber where the new deal was struck and the great society was forged, in the same chamber where the interstate highway system was started and voting rights were won, and in that chamber just before 1:00 a.m. as officers stood guard the final
