they can't talk about ashley babbitt.king about ashley babbitt makes it very clear who the real culprits are into the real threats to this country continue to be. they are not the january 6th protesters. so instead they lie about what happened that day and they do it in the boldest possible way, without shame and with maximum aggression. here is hakeem jeffries leader of the democrats in the house telling you that five police officers were killed on january 6th when in fact the real total was zero. >> we are gathered here to honor their memory and acknowledge with deep gratitude the tremendous bravery of the hundreds of officers who defended us at this citadel of democracy that fateful day. as a result of the events on january 6th, the lives of five heroic officers were lost. >> tucker: five heroic officers were lost, he said. it's almost impossible to believe that adults could stand behind him as he said that because everyone in the picture you just saw knows that is not true. it's not a stilted interpretation of events,

ashley babbitt was killed on january 6th. but chances are our grandchildren will not know that because history will likely record the lie. you just becy willhe as true sie it's been repeated so often. re in authority has said the same thing in unison for as osoliison ford years as our thoroughly dishonest attorney general recently put it, quote,shonesteneral we willt the five officers who responded selflessly on january 6th and who have since lost their lives. his joe biden repeated that line today from the white house . >>d thesethe pe people and thou representing those who couldn't be heruse theye because they gae their lives for this did is incredibly consequential. and that's not political talk. >> that's historical fact. politicthat's historical fact,s joe biden, as he manufacturers history as he tells lies. they've been doing this, thlling these same lies since the very first day, january 6th . two thousand twenty one , almost like it was a coordinated operation. remember when they told yoa coot ,brian ?ck n nick office

i mean, the person who was killed that day was a trump supporter, ashli babbitt. she was shot by a capitol police officer who was never given the same treatment that any other policeman or police officer is when they shoot someone in the course of their duties. and the double standards about, you know, a george floyd compared to an ashli babbitt, you could argue that both of them were wrongly killed, and yet -- there is radio silence. >> laura: we never really heard anything publicly about that investigation of why that was justified, use of deadly force. she was unarmed. right on cue today the attorney general defended his department's independence. watch. >> the department has a set of norms and practices to ensure that we adhere not rule of law. among other things, we do not have different rules for republicans or democrats. different rules for the powerful and powerless. different rules for the rich and poor. we apply the facts and the law in each case in a neutral, nonpartisan manner. >> laura: given what we just laid out on "the angle," should any american r

babbitt, what would you say to americans?ed there's not backups in the system, redundancies that would have prevented this from happening? why wouldn't there be? does that have to do with the desperate need for upgrades that we've been hearing about throughout the morning? >> upgrades would certainly help. and there are some backup capabilities. but your worst nightmare is when the primary system fails and the secondary system doesn't take over. and i'm going to imagine right now that that's probably part of the problem, that the alternative means to produce the same information and distribute it, at any given moment, there are anywhere from 7 to 9,000 flights in the air, and this system is covering, i think, close to 30 million square miles of this country. so it's a very important system. so i don't think this is going to be a single day. i think you're going to find a dual failure somewhere. >> mr. babbitt, can you talk a little bit about the threshold inside the faa for not a ground stop, but to have all domestic flights,

i mean, you had a democratic president, you had bruce babbitt as a secretary of the interior. reform of grazing, reform of reclamation, reform of mining were all being discussed and being considered. and it seemed possible that types of changes would be made. but there was also, in some ways, a powerful wind that was blowing from rural communities that were concerned about the overreach of the environmental community. in rural nevada, there's a lot of distrust of government and of harry reid in particular. in 1999, harry reid was a democratic senate whip. he was a master of senate procedures and policies, and he helped push through a wilderness bill in northern nevada. it was really the environmentalists' dream of what black rock-high rock should look like. part of the reason that occurred is that the hunting, off-road, mining community didn't think it would pass, and they didn't feel like they needed to engage. of course, harry reid surprised his staff and got it passed. baca: black rock-high rock was a wilderness area that had been created largely from the conservation voice

police brutality applauded when one of nancy pelosi's officers murdered an unarmed woman called ashley babbitturdered. that's exactly what it was. for more clearly than anything use on the videotape we played. of course the point of this is to federalize local law enforcement, obviously. it's never about saving anybody's life. it's about accumulating power. but there's a lot of nuances here that are hard to untangle in real time, and that's why we are really blessed to go to one of the signs people we know, peter courson now, a the civil rights commission. thank you for coming on. the literal among us are always sitting there with jaws open when they tell us that something is racially motivated or white supremacy. when the videotape tells us it's not. i'm certainly not endorsing with the cops and memphis did. it seemed pretty awful to me, but it didn't seem race-related. why are they telling us it is? >> well, it was horrific, and obviously our hearts go out to the family. but this is a time to take a breath and be deliberate about these things and not jump to conclusions, because that is prec

how many people died on january 6th by the hands of the government when ashley babbitt is the only person who died there were police officers who died and my last question is do you have reporters that go out into the middle of the country o these small towns in america? america is dying right now. the middle class is dying and you claim to be the lead and that's a huge problem with of te country today because you are a monolithic fought in washington you all think alike and devote a like you don't report on the policies of biden are the democratic party right now that's killing the middle class and i was just wondering -- >> we are going to leave it there there's a lot on the table. what would you like to address? >> i appreciate and understand your point of view on this. i would say we do a lot of reporting across the country.ss we are the only newspaper that has extensive national staff that reports from everywhere we have reporters in the midwest and mountain states and so forth because we want to try to capture america outside of the east coast. we are not a new york paper in fact we

. >> do you think he wants to show the altercation with ashli babbitt? the far right and in moscow. what do you think he wants to do? >> well, you know, on the aspect of that, and i've thought about this a lot, the incredible amount of restraint that was used by those officers throughout the capitol, whether they will capitol police, metropolitan police, responding that day and literally getting brutally attacked themselves, here you have someone attempting to breach a barrier, you know, through a broken window very close to where leadership of the house, members, staff are all evacuating. and the fact that it's a tragic loss of life and, again, i say that, you know, the folks who were summoned by trump to come and believed in this cause and were misled, it's very unfortunate that someone lost their life under those circumstances believing lies that they were fed. but i think it would prove a reasonable use of force was used by law enforcement in a dangerous situation and spun failed to follow their instructions. and so it really doesn't make any sense t

remember, they're sympathizing with ashli babbitt. they didn't go to the january 6th event we had this year. >> one did. >> brian fitzpatrick, former fbi agent. they went to the d.c. jail, that's where they continued to go to show solidarity. i think it never has been about backing the blue, it is backing the coup now and anything that flows to support that. >> what do you worry about when you look at our politics? you had a prominent role in the impeachments. you've now got republican house members i think they're talking about expunging the impeachments from trump's record. what do you -- what do you look at -- what do you see on the horizon? >> what i worry about, political rhetoric is always going to be hot. but now with vast access to social media, you know, political leaders not condemning the violence, you mix that in with a country that is absolutely armed to the teeth and even more so because of supreme court decisions, governors trying to out flank each other with access to firearms, that's a deadly cocktail and i just fear

ashley babbitt was not the only when it died. there were police officers died on january 6.t question is dors you hae reporters that go out to the middle of the country and to the small towns in america, america is dying right now. the middle class is dying and you claim to be elite. you're in an elite class and that's a a huge problem with e country today. because you are a monolithic thought in washington. you all think alike. you all about alike, and you vote for people and you don't report on the policies of biden and the democratic party right now that is killing the middle class. i was just wondering -- >> host: there's a lot on the table. peter baker, what would you like to address? >> guest: ssjames, thank you for the call. i appreciate it and understand your point of view on this. i would say we do a lot of reporting from across the country. are the only newspaper that has as extensive a national staff as we do in which we report from everywhere. we have reporters in the midwest, in the south, the westmount status of work because we want to try to capture the americ
