what he just said, that sound bite that we played could have been word for word from mayor muriel bowserf the district of columbia. because, again, nobody wants this to continue, to stay a permanent fixture in the capitol, but it has to be there now because of these ongoing threats. and rational people realize those two things, that the security measures have to be there right now, but they can't be there forever. we're going to have to find other ways of making sure the capitol complex is safe. already some of the fencing in the vicinity of the white house is coming down. there was a lot over there too. you know, we'll figure it out. and i hope we figure it out with a bias toward as much openness as possible, because it is the people's house, and that's very important. that's very important to us who live here. that's very important to the country. >> mara? >> yeah, you know, i can't help but think about new york city after september 11th and the attacks because in the months and even years afterward, i live here in new york. i was in high school at the time. there was an initial very s

because i understand that mayor bowser spoke with the secretary of the army twice. at 1:34 and at 2:22. and with chief sund. he spoke with the guard, the d.c. guard commanding general at 1:49. and the guard began to mobilize at 3:00 and the troops did not arrive until 5:40. is that your understanding of the timeline? >> senator, i appreciate the question. and i'm glad you tied me back to my exchange with senator kennedy because i fear that i may have contributed to a little bit of a muddle here. first let me say that my understanding is that on the question of authority is that the d.c. mayor and the u.s. capitol police can ask for the national guard, that the secretary of defense has the authority on federal land, the secretary of the army has authority on, in effect, d.c. or -- when it's not d.c., state land. i really don't have the specifics on exactly who requested what and when. and i understand why it's topic of keen interest, but i as fbi director am not intimately involved in that process and so i don't want to add to any confusion that's out there. >> okay.

mayor murial bowser, but the acting secretary of defense chris miller did not approve that request untilp.m., that is three hours later. senators and others accuse the pentagon of responding too slowly and handcuffing the d.c. national guard. to understand that, take a listen to general william walker describing the urgent request from compleef chief stephen sund and to rob portman pointing out how a pentagon memo before january 6 had already slowed that request down. >> chief sund, his voice cracking with emotion, indicated that there was a dire emergency at the capitol, and he requested the immediate assistance of as many available national guardsmen that i could muster. >> the january 5 letter required the secretary of the army to approve the movement of deployed guardsmen from one traffic control point to another. did you find that unusual? >> 19 years, i never had that before happen. >> reporter: senators repeatedly ask the senior dod official why the pentagon handcuffed the d.c. national guard and responded so slowly. the official admitted what many senior officials admitted to me

i understand that mayor bowser spoke with the secretary of the army twice, at 1:24 and at 2:22. with the chief's son, he spoke to the d.c. guard commanding general at 1:49, and the guard began to mobilize at 3:00, and the troops did not arrive until 5:40. is that your understanding of the timeline? >> senator, i appreciate the question, and i'm glad you tied me back to my exchange with senator kennedy, because i fear that i may have contributed to a little bit of a muddle here. first let me say that my understanding on the question of authority is that the d.c. mayor and the u.s. capitol police can ask for the national guard, that the secretary of defense has the authority on federal land, the secretary of the army has authority on, in effect, d.c. or when it's not d.c., state land. i really don't have the specifics on exactly who requested what and when. i understand why it's a topic of keen interest, but i, as fbi director, are not intimately involved in that process, so i don't want to add to any confusion that's out there. >> okay. so, then, it would be appropriate that we d

mayor muriel bowser was testifying at the time that congressman grothman raised this argument. to concede, it's true, we do not have any mines. maybe that shouldn't settle the issue. republican congressman jody heiss of georgia wanted to know how on earth they could be a state since d.c. has no car dealerships. i do remember the part of the constitution where it spells that out. no taxation without representation, no cruel and unusual punishment, no being forced to quarter soldiers and then nobody gets to be a state without at least one major car dealership. mines and car dealerships are the absence thereof. that was the argument from the republican side today about why d.c. can't be a state. incidentally, d.c. actually has car dealerships. why is that the basis on which this decision should be made? anyway, i do not know what the united states senate will ultimately do about d.c. statehood but the house will pass the bill to make d.c. a state. after they do that, you would still be more likely to find mountain top removal mining operation with chevy dealership in d.c. than fin

if mayor bowser was the governor, she would have been able to call out the national guard herself.but the mayor was was unable to call it the guard during the january 6th riot at the u. s capitol. alright, so on the flip side of things you have opponents of this republicans arguing. this is just a political power grab by democrats, because obviously a huge portion of the d c voting bloc there is made up of democrats overwhelmingly supported president biden in the last election. but beyond that republicans also seem to be making the argument that it's unconstitutional for washington, d c. to become a state are their concert. two shuttle questions here. not really. alex here's why the constitution says that there shall be a national capital no more than 10 square miles, and then that was set in what we now know is washington d. c. however, it's been reduced in size in the past. we're arlington, virginia and alexandria, virginia, are now that was originally part of the district and it was returned to virginia. because the way this bill is written that it would simply reduce the size o

a real-life mario kart race through bowser's castle. all right.ife mario kart ride. got to put on the augmented-reality headset here. clip it in. all right. let's go. the augmented-reality headset. got a little bit of getting used to. but next to princess peach, mario, and luigi, i think i may have fared slightly better in the real-life version. for nintendo, this is an important step beyond its core business of video games and consoles. it's cashing in on its treasure trove of intellectual property and iconic characters. here, in the store and in the restaurant. we are here in the mushroom kingdom and mushroom-them themed food is everywhere. it looks like cartoon food, but it's edible. >> she told me, when i saw this, i got emotional. it's not exactly to say -- mario games raised me. this is all beyond my expectations, she told me. i feel like i am in the mario world. i get worried about covid, when i take off my mask to eat, she saidment but the park is taking safety protocols so i feel safe. >>> international travels aren't allowed in this park

district of columbia national guard received written requests from the district of columbia mayor muriel bowser her director of homeland security and emergency management dr. christopher rodriguez. the request sought national guard support for traffic control and crowd management for planned demonstrations in the district from january 5th through january 6th, 2021. after conducting mission analysis to support the district's request, i sent a letter to the secretary of the army, ryan mccarthy, on january 1st requesting his approval. i received that approval in a letter dated january 5th, granting support to the metropolitan police department with a 320 guardsman personnel to include a 40 personnel quick reaction force. the district of columbia national guard provides support to the metropolitan police department, the united states park police, united states secret service and other federal and district law enforcement agencies in response to planned rallies, marches, protests and other large scale first amendment activity on a routine basis. the standard component of such report is the stand up

mayor muriel bowser made an impassioned plea it is possible the house could vote as early as the summerthe real test is the senate where of course you need 60 votes to make a change. >>> in california, a new proposal to help homeowners deal with the threat of the rising seas a loan program that could turn the coastline into a sort of city-run airbnb. the local government buys properties that are at risk of flooding, then rents them to the original homeowner or somebody else, and the deal ends once the space is not safe to live in anymore. it's essentially a buyout program, but it's not just california east coast homeowners who want waterfront views are also getting creative in the fight against climate change cnbc's diana olick reports in her continuing series on the rising risks to real estate. >> santos's ill ya know adores living by the water. >> i grew up on the shore, so for me it's a no-brainer. >> reporter: but the flood risk to his ocean port, new jersey, home is getting higher, so in order to stay he needed to lift the house higher. >> it's just something that unfortunately tha

third, since mayor bowser declared a public health emergency last march, the district has not issued although the district may take pride in facilitating the exercise of the first amendment rights regardless of their beliefs, none of the public gatherings january 5th or 6th were issued permits by the city. on january 6, npd was prepared to support our partners with a first amendment assembly outside primarily on federal land while continuing to patrol and respond to calls for service throughout dc. based on our experience, we recognized there was a possibility of violence especially after the smaller groups of protesters gathered with malicious intent around city streets. to be clear although they came into a large presence that had contributed in the city after demonstrations in november and december. the district had intelligence indicating the potential for violent actions in the streets of the district of columbia. in preparation for the anticipated demonstrations and the possibility of violence in the streets, npd was deployed on 12 hour shifts the week of january 4th with days

mayor bowser in d.c. are dealing with a lot of crime including carjackings. a tweet but we have it. auto theft is a crime of opportunity. follow these steps to reduce the risk of your vehicle becoming a target. remember the motto protect your auto on the heels of a brutal crime of a carjacking by two girls an uber eats driver and he died. >> i think the thing with progressives is they don't want to talk about particular crimes that happen. everything has to be kind of a racial morality play where you make these giant societal conclusions on the basis of statistics about who gets arrested and how many times and how often. what they never want to talk about is particular cases where you get to see the exhibition of cruelty and you realize that guilt and innocence and law enforcement are not a morality play. they are about what happens with specific people in specific instances. and unfortunately until they come to grips with that and realize that you have to have effective law enforcement if you will have social company heetion and social order, it is getting w

i guess it is for mayor bowser. seen that the layout of the proposed state is essentially the city limits of washington dc as it is today, are there plans to dissolve your city council? if you have essentially a state legislator and a governor of what is the purpose of the dc city council at the point? >> thank you for that question, conquers men. >> we will break away from the closing minutes of this hearing because the senate is about to come in and part of our long-time commitment is to bring you live gavel to gavel coverage of congress. watch the rest of the syrian or all of it if you would like our website, c-span .org. the senate today will work on white house nominations 5:30 p.m. eastern for boston mayor marty walsh to be secretary of labor. live it senate coverage here on c-span2. the president pro tempore: the senate will come to order. the chaplain, dr. barry black, will open the senate with prayer. the chaplain: let us pray. eternal god, who laid the foundations of the earth, we worship you. lord, walk w
