karen bass: thank you for having me.ost: how does this fit in with george floyd and breonna taylor, ahmaud arbery. karen bass: it is such a tragedy. one of the big differences is that he clearly engaged in a fight. and then he ran, and he turned around. it looks as though he turned around. but the question here is why were the police involved at all. it he had fallen asleep in a takeout line. why do they call the police on him and when they called the police on him, why did it escalate to the point of them engaging in a fight. and so you saw the community reaction. every time i see the violence it pains me. but i do think it raises questions about policing which is one of the things about the bill. the bill hopefully will raise discussions about standards and accountability and accreditation. etc. host: can we talk about training. i should've trained differently than the rest of us but it seems common sense that you would go tap on the window and say, hey buddy, are you okay. our call the tow truck. does the bill address

congresswoman karen bass is the chair of the caucus. she reacted to this plan along with jerry nadler, the chair of the judiciary committee and other members today by saying it was inadequate. we don't need a study about chokeholds. we don't need a study about a warrant -- no-knock warrants and the rest. we know what we need to do. she is determined that we will act in a bipartisan -- congresswoman bass, determined to act as much as possible in a bipartisan way but we don't need a window dressing toothless bill. we need to take action that is real. and as mentioned in our legislation, we have strong provisions that ban chokeholds, that ban racial profiling, that ban a no-knock warrant, that have real data collection that is accessible and transparent from one department to the next. so it isn't about just recognizing. as she said, they have taken their lead from some of our pointers, but they have pulled their punch when it came to getting the job done, but it's a -- again, we never have seen hundreds of thousands of people day in and d

leading the effort congresswoman karen bass., let's first discuss the atlanta police shooting that i just discussed with secretary carson. the gentleman was clearly resisting arrest, than he ran away with one of the officer's stunt guns, what was your reaction? congresswoman: i thought it was so sad, the man had fallen asleep in the takeout line. did it need to escalate to that? i was just very sad by it. chris: well, you say it didn't need to escalate to that but it did. i guess the question really becomes and let's talk about some of your reforms, some of the measures that you called for in your legislation, a ban on chokeholds, lifting qualified immunity for people to sue police, in an abstract, piece of perfect they sound perfectly legitimate but as you saw in the situation in atlanta where i agree, it couldn't have been more nonviolent, a man falling asleep in the drive-thru lane at a wendy's but it did escalate, do you worry about tieing the hands of police where things spin out of control? congresswoman: no, i don't. let

hour, a federal hate crime, and i salute chairwoman bass and reggie bass and our two distinguished senators in harris and booker and their work in helping to pass hr-35 this year. police brutality is a reflection of entrenched system of racial injustice in america. true justice can only be achieved with full comprehensive action. that's what what we are doing today. this is a first step. there is more to come. in the coming weeks the bill -- the house will hold hearings, mark up the bill. once the house passes the house, the justice and policing act leader mcconnell will sift hopefully through -- he must swiftly take it up. leader in the congress, the president must not stand in the way of justice. the congress and the country will not relent until this legislation is made into law. my colleague mr. cliburn is always getting awards for liberty and justice for all. that's what this is about. that's what our distinguished leader mr. schumer talked about in emancipation holland please to healed to the distinguished leader of the united states senate, democratic leader, mr. schumer. >> well, th

to speaker pelosi, leader schumer, leader hoyer, chairleader bass, and all the other members who are here today. with liberty and justice for all. when i was a kid growing up, little town of sumpter, south carolina, we said the pledge every morning. and it ends with that phrase, "with liberty and justice for all." we all knew in that little town it was simply a vision. when we were trying to put together our response for what was then the package, i said on the telephone call, this gives us a tremendous opportunity to restructure things in that vision. i was mocked for that. i was attacked for wanting liberty and justice for all. by various media. i'm going to back away from that. we're here today in search of that vision, liberty and justice for all. now, you've heard what's going to be in this legislation. i want to say two things. first, to those who are responsible for writing it, and, secondly, to those who are responsible for writing about it, let me say this: with few exceptions, white people came to this country willingly, in search of a new world, full of liberty and justice

policing act police reform package, house speaker nancy pelosi and congressional black chair karen bass k spoke about the legislation. >>> good morning everyone. good morning. today is a glorious day because this is the day we pass legislation to transform policing in america. this year, i have the honor -- [ applause ] this year, i have the honor and the privilege to chair the congressional black caucus. next year will be the # 50th anniversary of the cdc. and 49 years ago, the 13 members of the cdc were leading the fight in congress to address the long-standing history of police abuse in the african-american community. in 1972, representative metcalf led the way in developing an agenda to reform policing in black communities. it is in their memory and it is on their shoulders that all of us stand today, not just the black caucus but the entire democratic caucus as we join together -- [ applause ] -- as we join together to finally bring about the change the founding members of the cbc valiantly fought for. although black americans have had to deal with police abuse, murder by police of

the judiciary committee -- and that would be karen bass, our chair, and jerry nadler, the chair of the judiciary committee. there is an array of bills that members have had in the hopper for a while. now, with the public sentiment where it is, the prospect for them becoming law is greatly increased. so i have respected the prioritizing that the caucus has done. the wrying of the legislation that the judiciary committee has done. as you said, any racial profiling, choke holds, and some things that seem so obvious, but nonetheless have been hard to turn into law, now we have that opportunity. president lincoln said public sentiment is everything. with it, you can accomplish almost anything. without it, practically nothing. and the public sentiment is there for us to do something transformative. i thank our congressional black caucus, john lewis, so many over the years who have advanced these very good solutions. >> the phrase "de-fund the police," madame speaker, as you probably know by now, it's a phrase that has already been seized upon by those on the other end of the political spectr

representative karen bass, chair of the congressional black caucus is a sponsor of that bill and joins us from houston where she's attending today's funeral service for george floyd. congresswoman, good morning. it's great to have you with us. we have a lot to get to. i'll jump right in. we are two weeks and a day from the death of george floyd, but you've been at this reform effort for more than four decades. what's different about this moment and what's most important about the legislation you've introduced? >> well, what's different about the moment are the thousands of people that are protesting in every state in the united states and around the world. so i think that the tragic death, the fact that the world witnessed a man be murdered on video camera has sparked a national movement and it's a rainbow movement, and i'm hoping that that's going to give us the momentum to get the legislation across the finish line. and in terms of the most important aspects of the legislation it bans choke holds, no knock warrants.

the honorable karen bass is with us. she has traversed some distance. would you please show her and the members of the cbc. this is my congressional district. i want all of the congresspeople who are here to stand, please. show them some love. my colleague jackson lee is here. thank you. to mayor turner, my dear friend and fraternity brother. to judge hidalgo, the commissioners. to all of the members of the council. and i want to say a special word about another great american who is here with us today. one whose name means helper of human kind. one who was there with dr. king. one who is the father of the civil rights movement right here in houston, texas. one that we know and love. the honorable william alexander

bass, for recognizing the difficulty that police officers face in their day-to-day lives, and how we as a legislative body have failed in dealing with mental health issues and so many other social issues, and how we place on police officers an unfair burden. while i believe with parts of this bill, there are parts of this bill that would place a greater burden on most police officers on the good police officers, the officers protecting our young as they go back and forth to school, who are protecting our citizens going to the store picking up a prescription, as they are protecting our citizens in their everyday lives, i think it is absolutely essential that we recognize them, and i thank the gentlelady recognizing police have such a difficult job. i have mentioned to my friend and colleague, mr. armstrong, that i cannot support this amendment. i understand the compelling reason behind the amendment, and i believe the fbi should be held accountable for the gross misconduct that it engaged in in investigating the trump campaign. i think that when we require out of custody interviews to
