all of those are mo brooks' words. now, some democratic members of congress tried to censure mo brooks for his speech that day, bun of their colleagues had a different idea. congressman eric swalwell of california filed a lawsuit against mo brooks along with the other speakers of the january 6th stop the steal rally, including president trump in which he accused. brooks of inciting an insurrection. in response to the lawsuit, congressman brooks had a novel defense. oe i was just doing my job. he said he couldn't be sued for his speech because he was acting in his official capacity as a united states congressman. and so the court turned to the u.s. justice department and asked the department to weigh in on whether congressman brooks was just performing his official duties, as a federal employee. and the justice department has now delivered its reply to the court, and it says, in essence, you're on your own, mo. i mean, it did seem like a long shot that mo brooks would get the u.s. justice department to come to his rescu

all of those are mold brooks words. now democratic members of congress tried to censure brooks that day. but some of them had a different idea. -- along with the other speakers of the january six, stop the steal rally, including president trump, in which he accused brooks of inciting an insurrection. and response to the lawsuit, brooks had a novel defense, i was just doing my job. he said he couldn't be sued for his job because he was acting as the united states congressman. so the court turned to the u.s. justice department and asked the department to weigh in on whether congressman brooks was just performing his official duties as a federal employee. and the justice department is now delivered its reply to the court. and it says, in essence, you are on your on, mo. it did seem like a long shot that mo birx would get the u.s. department of justice to come to us with -- spelling out their reasoning. this is an actual quote from the filing. the complaint alleges that brooks conspired with others to investigate -- to inst

congressman brooks is being sued by congressman eric swalwell, who has accused brooks of inciting violencee capitol that day by urging the protesters to, quote, start taking down names and kicking ass, which they certainly did try to do. congressman brooks sought to dismiss the case against him, arguing he is immune from liability under a law known as the westfall act, which protects federal officials acting within the scope of their employment. this week, the department of justice rejected that notion that congressman brooks was acting in his official capacity and refused to defend him in court, saying, the record indicates that brooks' appearance at the january 6 rally was campaign activity and it is no part of the business of the united states to pick sides among candidates in federal elections. in addition, the complaint alleges that brooks engaged in conduct that, if proven, would plainly fall outside the scope of employment for an officer or employee of the united states -- conspiring to prevent the lawful certification of the 2020 election and to injure members of congress and incit

democratic eric swalwell sued republican mo brooks arguing that brooks incited the capitol riot in hisech to the trump crowd hours before the riot making an appeal, or actually it was taking names and kicking ass. now, brooks claims that his words were protected speech, protected as a member of congress. joining me now is the attorney for congressman eric swalwell. great to see you again, as we monitor the progress. >> thanks for having me back. >> your argument is that mo brooks was acting in his personal capacity. his response to the court he's arguing that it was in more of his professional capacity, which is an important thing to note because he does have protections if he can convince the court that he was acting as a member of congress. you know, how concerned are you about this argument? >> look, it's not a crazy principle that he's raising. as you said, members of congress have cover for things within the scope of their employment, giving speeches, doing things for constituents and that's fine. that's good. we want elected officials working. the key, though, is what is within t

>> brooks: a good thing.i missed wrernt they so romantic first earmarks allow leadership to pass bills, because they can offer recalcitrant members this or that. so they paid passing bills. they make congress less polarized, because it becomes more transactional rather than ideology. they didn't go away, they just went to the executive branch. so one man sitting in the transportation department made decision it was even more hidden. and getting away from earmarks had nothing to do with congressional spending. they are a tiny tiny part of the budget. the money just moved, there is no decrease on federal spending. like any measure getting rid of earmarks was a mistake. >> woodruff: mistake karen? >> tumulty: i think so too. it was an understandable reaction to the jack abramoff scandal, which was the worst to hit washington in decades. but earmarks are also a way that people feel connected to their government. they can point to tangible things in their community that are there because they matter to people in t

congressman brooks is being sued by eric swalwell who has accused brooks of inciting violence at the that day by urging the protesters to start taking down names and kicking us, which they certainly did try to do. congressman brooks sought to dismiss the case against him, arguing he is amused -- immune from the west fall act which protects federal officials acting within the scope of their employment this week, the department of justice rejected that notion that congressman brooks was acting in his official capacity, and if -- refused to defend him in court. joining our discussion is laurence tribe, professor at harvard law school. he won 35 cases in the supreme court. thank you for joining us tonight. the dishes -- justice's decision on the brooks case, does that have any impact on how they might approach donald trump as a civil defendant in the same kind of lawsuits? >> it certainly does, lawrence. the justice department's brief not only said that it is no part of the job of any congress person to attack congress to incite insurrection, it pointedly said it is no part of any federa

i saw slate.com is reporting that they interviewed mo brooks and brooks said that as he gave that speechr he was wearing which to me is foreknowledge he knew he was standing before a violent mob and those tchose those words an. that's outside the bounds of any representative's duties. >> a stunning revelation he was wearing a wind breaker, body arbor. okay. so he denies any wrongdoing nonetheless. he says, you know, he was acting as a government official because the tweets he sent separate from those comments, that urged congress not to certify the election were not written by him. he says they were written by congressional staff. so that wasn't his problem and that the white house asked him to speak at the rally. does any of that add up? >> no, it reminds me of, you know, the defense in the tragic murder in san francisco that he was overwhelmed by something else that the white house invited him and other than donald trump doing that, he wouldn't have said those words. it just doesn't make sense. he knew what he was doing. you could see in the speech he's speaking from a prepared stateme

the decision from the department of justice to reject immunity from brooks.an you explain what that means, really? i mean, what -- he -- they are saying he was not in an official capacity because incitement is not part of his job description or shouldn't be. >> that -- that's exactly right, anderson. the law, in the united states, is that if a federal employee commits injury or harm to someone, in the scope of their duties, while they are doing their job, then the united states will immunize. they, actually -- he would be removed from the lawsuit, under the statute, the west fall act, and the united states would be replaced. but essentially, what the doj said was two things. first, this was not an official act. it was more in the nature of a political rally. and congress members are not immunized for political activity. and then, number two, how can a member of congress ever have, as a part of their duties, inciting a mob to attack the government? it was the opposite of his duties. so, doj has said, hey, um, we're not covering you. and that quote you put up w

it's mo brooks the individual in his personal capacity, not mo brooks the congressman. and the tricky question here, michael, is where does the man end and the congressman begin? now, representative swalwell's lawsuit claims these are all statements that are made in his personal capacity. what representative brooks has said in his filing today is no, no, no, no, no, no, this happened during the work day. it happened on the grounds of congress. i was driven there by a member of my staff. therefore this must have been an official act of me as a congressman, and therefore you can't sue me for it. >> elliott, you know that the decembe discussion continues in the house of representatives about a congressional inquiry into january 6th. in fact i'll be talking about it in just a moment. as a plaintiff's lawyer, as a trial lawyer myself, i look at this and wonder might the discovery phase from this litigation bear fruit? >> absolutely. there's no question that it will because there's open questions as to, number one, as you teased until the beginning, what kinds of communicatio

brooks is running from this. he's trying to duck the whole argument.ng to claim, he should be immuned from going to court over this. he chaims what you just saw was part of his official duties the as a member of congress. well, that's his opinion. is he going to get very far with that. he was not getting help from the department of justice that often would weigh in and if someone was really exercising official duties, if someone did something while going to work in the administration, they say he's wrong though. the doj is going to court making a point. they go further saying and this is important inciting or conspireing to forment a violent attack on the capitol. i can tell you doj did not have to go that far. to be as fair as possible, whether or not this was in incitement or a crime had not been decided yes. what we were discussing this week on "the beat," trump officials be hauled in and forced to testify under oath under january 6th. >> these letters make it so that justice former officials will have to testify or try to hire personal lawyers to a

it's clear brooks was a part of the planning for trump's coup because brooks said so, himself, check this out. back on december 21st, 2020, more than two weeks of the insurrection, politico just reported it out, a good piece, president donald trump huddled with a group of congressal republicans at the white house on monday, where they strategy united states over a last-ditch ever to overturn the results next month. congressman mo brooks spearheaded to overturn the results in congress, ork kneesed a trio of white house meetings, which lasted over three hours around included roughly a dozen lawmakers. the back and forth kevining the planning and strategy for january 6th, brooks said in a quote interview, he literally said they were meeting for a strategy to overturn the record two weeks before it happened. then on the morning of january 6th, congressman mo brooks spoke at the same rally as donald trump. we are learning when he stood up taking the protest at the capitol, he was wearing body armour. >> i have a message i need you to take to your heater and back home and atlopg way stop a

>> brooks: i guess for me it remains to be seen still.onfess if you asked me how much corruption there was in the trump organization, i would expect way worse than some undisclosed fringe benefits. if that's all it is i would be underwhelmed. that is obably not all it is, as every exphertd seems to be saying these days. they seem the go against this guy as an attempt too turn him. he's been involved in trump organization numbers fr decades, if they can hit him hard on these untaxed benefits then if he's facing jail time he would be certainly the person who would know tall secrets going all the way to the top of the trump organization. so if this is the beginning of a set of witnesses turning, then i would be surprised and trump would be relatively safe from this kind of indicent. >> woodruff: jonathan how peril owz for former president trump? >> capehart: in terms of his political standing, i don't think perilous at all. one of the truest statements every to come out of trump's trs mouth, i could shoot someone in new york and not be punis

ness. >> brooks: >> brooks: i think this is traumatic. the canadians have done this for the last six months and it has been a national truly trauma as they face that reality but it has to be faced. there are to many levels of what has happened. they weren't taking ukrainian kids from their parents, they were taking necessitate aive american kids. after darwin there were all these pseudo scientific crappy beliefs that civilizations were better than other civilizations and the idea that you were doing people a favor by taking them away from their heritage, that was a pervasive in western society that this crazy really garbage science darwinism. and what they did not have then but hopefully we're getting now, the idea is that cultural diversity is a plus not a minus. the book of jeremiah embraces cultural diversity but it was not commonly believed. and one of the things we have done is come to cherish different heritages, the way they interact, integrate without assimilate. >> woodruff: we can certainly hope so. it's just been as i said to t

so donald trump and mo brooks and don jr. and rudy, they sought to impede the congress from counting the electoral college votes, they traumatized myself and my colleagues, they unleashed a mob on the police who defended the capitol that day. so, michael, it's really an effort to make sure that even post-impeachment and regardless what happens in the criminal trials that those actors are held accountable. >> do you think you can satisfy the causation requirement? very famously mo brooks talked about kicking ass and taking names. that language you cited in your complaint. when he responded, he said, well, there was context. in fact, i can put it on the screen as to what his response was to that part of the litigation. let's be clear, regardless of today's outcome, the 2022 and 2024 elections are right around the corner. this is his quote from that speech, january 6. america does not need, cannot stand, cannot tolerate any more weakling, kourg, wimpy republican congressmen and senators who covet the power and the prestige the s

and so, mo brooks knew who he was talking to. aimed that mob with donald trump and others, right at the capitol. and again, i will leave it to the courts to, you know, litigate this. or the lawyers and the courts to decide. but i -- i do believe it's worthy of accountability. >> okay. is your lawsuit plan b, meaning that if the official investigation, the house investigation, never gets off the ground. or doesn't bear fruit. that you'll be out there, as a private litigant, hoping that you can take depositions and you can subpoena documents and so on and so forth? and maybe, you'll uncover what, all, went on, on january 6th. >> i am filing my suit, regardless of what anyone else does but you're right. i mean, it may or may not turn out that way. actually, after being an impeachment manager, i was all the more convinced that donald trump needed to be held accountable after reviewing hours of evidence, in that case, michael. so, again, this is about accountability and, yes, if we survive the motion to dismiss, there will be depositi

he said brooks hasn't responded, i should win by default. on friday, brooks responded.e has said just now is that well, brooks has responded. this is not a default. this is not a forfeit. and now the case will move forward on the merits. >> as we just heard, there are worries about more capitol threats. in your experience as a prosecutor, i wonder do you think the punishment for some rioters will be a deterrent for future violence? >> so it ought to be. punishments really do matter. punishments really do impact people. we're all human and react to ince incentives. one of the legal proper purposes of sentencing is what we call deterrents. judges have a job to make sure they're deterring basically scaring that defendant and others who may be considering committing crimes in the future. prosecutors need to be really careful but aggressive in the way they charge these cases. and judges need to understand that a lot of people are watching what's happening in the sentenci sentencings. they need to impose serious significant sentences. >> the message you get from the outcome o

my final question, dr. rod brooke, how much has the coven 19 pandemic been a disruption to palliative care around the world? various, depending on country and setting. so in some countries that has been a major disruption. patients have not assessed the latest care because they have been isolated in the nursing homes for example, or at home. and they have been afraid to go to the hospital even if it's a palliative care unit. one of your services has been stopped because of the and they infection, danger and other countries. additional resources have been required for palliative care because patients are not able to accept intensive care. and you would give them at least some good symptom management of the relief of breathlessness. for example, we see all kinds but it certainly is a major brain on the health care resources, at least the weaker economy settings. and the danger is that not only right now, but also in the long run, this will weaken the latest care considerably because resources are going. and another way right now, even though we know that it's even more needed right now

it all started with the town's doctor william brooks who worried residents were out of shape. >> he said, we can put on games and get people to get fit so they can compete in these games. >> reporte s in 1850, he created the winlock olympian games. >> you can see there is a program here listing all the events, one, two, three days. >> reporter: back then events were a bit different with athletes racing penny farthing bicycles. >> he started his campaign to revive the modern olympic movement. >> reporter: the winlock games had medals as well as opening ceremonies. >> they had a procession in the town. you couldn't take part in the games if you didn't take part in this procession. >> reporter: in 2012 the london olympics paid tribute to brooks' vision with a torch through the town even naming the mascot after winlock. with the olympic flame now passed to tokyo, spare a thought for the small-town doctor who changed history. ian lee, cbs news, london. >>> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. new klondike cones. experience the chocolate tip. examine the full sauce core. bask in a down

i am tom brook and welcome to talking movies. programme, we look back at some of the highlights of this month's cannes film festival. it was a gamble to stage it, but cannes ended up being a triumph, a vintage year, a subdued yet strong line up with a diverse group of international film—makers bringing some great cinema to the riviera. and the stars did come out to grace the festival's famous red carpet. it was almost like normal. you know what, it is a bit like any other year except they have masks on. it is not as crazy as every year. there is a lot of people, honestly i was not sure exactly if it was going to be like this, but it is like this. the pandemic meant mask wearing was required at key venues and for many of us, a trip to the covid—i9 testing centre every two days became a mandatory ritual where we all had to deposit our spittle into plastic containers. so, is this 0k? yeah, it should be. but the films of course were the big attraction. the festival's top prize, the palme d'0r, went to a french movie, an outlandish co

and this all comes up in the context of mo brooks, congressman mo brooks from texas's behavior on januaryth. where he advocated that people kick ass and said a whole-lot more things, stirring up that crowd that went up and did what it did. and he's now been sued by congressman swalwell, along with a number of other people. and he has asked the attorney general to certify that he was acting within the scope of his employment. so that he, in fact, as a congressman who stirred up the trouble on january 6th ought to be defended by the united states. in fact, defended, in the sense that they step in and substitute them, themselves, the united states government, as the defendant in the case. um, and he is immunized by that process. the article we wrote essentially says, clearly, attorney general garland should not certify. indeed, he should conclude that -- that brooks was not within the scope of his employment. and if you think through the consequences of what would happen, if he did so certify, brooks would be off scot-free and -- and essentially, you'd have opened the door for trump and othe

a that's it >> brooke: so, i was wondering, did being locked up change bill at all?>> katie: [ laughing ] you mean, did it make him more humble? uh, no. i think it's gonna take more than a jail cell to accomplish that. i'm kind of relieved. i mean, it'd be weird if he came back and he was all transformed. >> brooke: if will is anything like beth and douglas, i'm sure he's thrilled to have his father home. >> katie: yeah, he is. and bill is spending everyomth m

dr. lucas rod brook chair of the board of directors of the international association for hospice and palliative care. thank you for talking to al jazeera. thank you for having me. look at, let me ask you 1st palliative care is not just a type of medical care for patients living with a serious illness. it's also a philosophy of care. so i want to ask you, what is that overall philosophy? well, 1st of all, it's really patient oriented, so it's not only strict guidelines on symptoms, but it's also about asking people what they really want. because you know there's a broad range of priorities that patients may have. some of them cling to lives and may want to prolong life as much as possible. others possibly will. you know, i just talked to patients that it was, was that, that she's actually waiting to die. and the sooner the better because she says this is, in spite of all the period of cash she's getting, it is not going to be well again. why not? and this rather sooner than later. so accepting that i'm not doing any life prolong and treatment, giving her good symptom relief. not haste

i don't know what mo brooks was thinking that day, wearing body armor, and he was firing things up.ted states' state of mind was on that day. >> the house slelect committee holding that strategy session. they say they will move on to subpoenas and they're going to do it quickly. how do you think your former colleagues will handle being called to ef it, maybe even subpoenaed? >> i'm curious to see if they put up a fight. ordinarily what you do is first invite them to testify voluntarily. and if they choose not to testify voluntarily, that's when you issue the subpoenas. so usually you don't start with a subpoena. you start with a request. and then we'll see. if they're subpoenaed and they fight that subpoena, that could drag on for a very long time. on the politics if this, if you're a republican member, you don't want these hearings to extend well into 2022 during the midterms, so it might be better to get this out of the way as quickly as possible. fighting this thing, dragging it out, means it's more likely they're going to be testifying later in the election cycle. >> when it cam
