brush nerve of the soviet union that he would have a meeting with him to negotiate relations between the soviet union and the united states. when i was in the congress i was one of the experts on military funding, military programs, including program that we had in the united states where nuclear weapons across the board. so when i agreed to take carrie at the commitment i was fully prepared because of this background to sit down and negotiating table with this is him to down at the table with argue how him to the argue how to two nations could mutually nations good mutually reduce the nuclear threshold. it was a major challenge i think turned out to be a very successful negotiation. >> another bold stroke, ford took american policy to the doorsteps of the communist china and eastern european countries. >> the helsinki accord was the final blow to communism, marxism behind the iron curtain. a get mr. brush enough and the other communist leaders to agree that human rights as i write for people on a worldwide basis. was a major accomplishment. no question the ford administration had a major impact on the collapse of the soviet union and warsaw pact al

>> my fellow americans, i proudly present to you the man whose name i will submit to the congress of the united states, for confirmation as the vice president of the united states. congressman gerald ford of michigan. >> the new vice president was a reassuring figure whose obvious integrity aided republican candidates and a beleaguered president. each day brought new revelations of wrongdoing in the nixon administration. the watergate scandal was coming to a climax. by the summer of 1974, nixon's impeachment because before the house. >> all those in favor, please dignify by saying aye. all those opposed, no. >> it was a time of ang side for the american people. to the vice president, it was a time anguish. he didn't know if the president would dig in and fight or resign. on august 9, 1974, it was settled. on the south lawn of the white house, a painful ceremony unfolded. returning to their new home, nixon's successor reassured his wife. we can do it. soon he would reassure the nation. for gerald ford, there was no transition period. no time to settle into the world's most demanding job. >> when

congress of the united states responded and once again the christian community faith community orthodox communities all rallied around the proposition that no religious or racial is part of our culture. it has been recognized as fundamental to free exercise or what more broadly robert jackson called in flag salute case in 1943 in world war ii the freedom of the mind. we went to protect individual freedom as a matter of individual dignity and a conscientious objection recognition is in a sample of a constitutional republic respecting the dignity of each person's view. overwhelmingly passed the equal access act in 1994. this time unanimous about a house of represent 97 -- three with united states senate with president clinton enthusiastically signing that into law in the rose garden ceremony in november of 1993. the signing statement was magnificent, i don't know if you read it. >> you can pull it up on youtube you can see it is just extraordinarily robustly pro- religious freedom support. the equality act that is passed the house of representatives would abolish the civil rights act. so

and she has served our country very well in the department of defense, now in the congress of the united states. but her story is one that is the american dream many times over. i want to yield -- no stranger to any of you because he serves on so many committees this regard, judiciary, house administration and the committee on oversight, mr. jamie raskin. mr. raskin: thank you very much. the oversight committee has been conducting for several years an investigation into violent white supreme asy. the department of homeland security has declared violent domestic extremism the number one security threat in the country and saw that threat explode right in front of us on january 6. so the impeachment trial of donald trump determined i think by robust bipartisan, bicameral majorities who incited the violence on january 6. but we need to figure out who organized the violence on january 6, how did they organize it and why did they organize it, what were the purposes of the different critical actors who were present on that day? that's why this investigation is critical for every american link a

this was a premeditated coordinated violent assault on congress of the united states and of course it's pathetic that you've got members of congress and people like kevin mccarthy who are doing everything they can to sabotage real investigation but i think speaker pelosi has outmaneuvered them despite the fact that we rejected the independent commission that they demanded five republicans and five democrats with subpoena power and we did that in the republican still told it because they don't want a real investigation and america is really starting to ask the question, what is that there? hiding because it's not all about donald trump. you don't attack the congress of the united states with one guy so we're looking at what's networks of political influence and domestic violent extremism that got together to attack congress on january six when we were counting electoral college votes. how did they try to smart the democratic process and stop the peaceful transfer of power? you're going to hear from a few police officers. we are going to hear from a capitol police officer harry dunn, metr

a little more complicated in my opinion, but yes, for the safety of all the members of congress and for the operations of the congress of the unitedhave a healthy congress. every member ought to be vaccinated or in the alternative, certainly we're requiring now every member to wear a mask, which is mandatory on the house floor or you get a fine. and i think in addition to that if people -- if the 65 -- that's not my figure, it's kevin mccarthy's figure. if that's the figure, then they ought to have to be tested on a relatively regular basis to make sure they're not bringing virus into the chamber and shouldn't be bringing virus, frankly, into their offices or into the office complex. >> president biden gave a nod to the trump administration's operation warp speed. he praised republican governor kay ivey, he praised mitch mcconnell. that seems to be no accident. >> well, i'm sure it wasn't an accident when he did that. i'm sure he did it consciously, and i think what he wanted to say is, honestly, look, this is not a political issue. some republicans have done very good work clearly warp speed did get us to a place in some respects

the dates are super 60 years in my conference and to keep making this conversation about congress of the united states and not about de may conflict that is taking place to day to day in my county, which is going to be doing better with the military power cracking down on the, on, on our own and pieces that were asking for freedom. well, i mean that, that's all that was that there. one of course you just hit you, you just tell you what the guy will say. he was not talking about the demand for cleaning up the given people. he was talking about the job that he wants to go. all the county doing all their since we're talking about cuban. and this is among cuban and cubans should be brought and gone. is role in this, in this conflict because we are the, the, the most and we are the ones that are asking for, we don't, and all that we need is solely dyed the, for the international putting their national get with that very simple demand. okay . me spy, let's go to all to a and to mr. to pack that, because obviously we wonder with all of the disturbances on the streets with the international condemnatio

behind walls, threatening to hang the vice president of the united states, and interrupting the conduct of a serious constitutional role by the congressf the united states. namely, carrying out the electoral count act of 1887. the fact that these laws were passed long ago seems to me to have no significance at all. they were passed long ago. they have served their purpose, but finally there was an insurrection. and unless we punish it as such, we are going to invite more such chaos and perhaps the end of democracy. >> well, let's be clear. i am not suggesting immunity for these folks. our disagreement is about what precise charges that should be filed. there are lots of charges that have been filed, should be filed, will be tried or result in guilty pleas from these cases. the issue is should that include insurrection. at this point i don't think so. >> the reason it should is that, guess what? it was an insurrection. we are living through the era of the big lie where we refuse to call things what they are. it seems to me that the only way to survive as a democracy is to start telling the truth. this was an insurrection by anyone's de

and she, of course, has served our country very well in the department of defense, now in the congress of the unitedates. but her story is one that is the american dream many times over. i'm now want to yield to the distinguished no stranger to any of you because he served on so many, judiciary house administration and core, the committee on over site, jamie raskin. >> thank you very much. mr. chairman. the over sight committee has been conducting for several years now an investigation into violent white supremacy. the department of homeland security has declared domestic violent extremism the number one security threat in the country. and we saw that threat explode right in front of us on january 6th. so, the impeachment trial of donald trump determined, i think by robust bipartisan bicammeral majorities who incited the violence on january 6th. but we need to figure out who organized the violence on january 6th, how did they organize it and why did they organize it? what were the purposes of the different critical actors who were present on that day. that is why this investigation is critical for e

and she as, of course, served our country very well in the department of defense now in the congress of the united states. but her story is one that is the american dream many times over. now i want to yield on the judiciary house administration and core of the committee on oversight. >> thank you very much, madame speaker. the oversight committee has been conducting for several violent white supremacy. they declared domestic violence extremism a number one threat in the country. we saw that threat explode in front of us on january the 6th. so the impeachment trial of donald trump determined, i think by robust bipartisan majorities that incited the violence on january 6th. but we need to figure out who organized the violence. how did they organize it, and why did they organize is. what were the purposes of the difference critical actors. that's why this living and as yet unborn. we need to defend our democracy with everything we got. so it is our ability to serve. thank you, madame speaker. >> there is a few in the congress. >> the first time that i took the oath to protect and defend, i was 17 ye

over the country have responded the death of george floyd, the murder of george floyd by an acting meaningful reform. it is the national legislature, the congress of the uniteds that needs to be embarrassed. it has not passed a single legislative reform in response to the national protests all over the country last year. and some folks are looking at the police unions which always exercise an outside influence with regard to reform. reportedly, they are concerned about things like qualified immunity and the republicans are listening to them, and that is why the bill remains stalled in the senate. >> all right. paul butler and jonathan allen, thank you both for your insights. >>> overseas is, several palestinian families in east jerusalem are living in fear right now, because their homes could be demolished at any time, and we are live on the ground after the break. you are watching ayman mohyeldin reports. but eventually, with spring comes rebirth. everything begins anew. and many of us realize a fundamental human need to connect with other like-minded people. welcome back to the world. viking. exploring the world in comfort... once again. the instant air pu

a real shift on how the world is going to cooperate to make sure capital income bears its fair share of paying for common needs. is there any history where the congress of the unitedves a damn about common needs? >> what they need to grapple with right now is figuring out whether this needs to be legislation or a treaty that needs to be endorsed and approved by congress, but secretary yellen has told our colleague in brussels in an interview that the republican side will see a lot of requests, a lot of encouragement from businesses saying to protect american businesses, they will need approval on this deal to end the race to the bottom, but we have not heard a response from the business community yet. tom: i don't have the numbers in front of me. my entourage didn't get them to me. but apple literally in the last number of hours has announced that tim cook has migrated united kingdom profits over to ireland to pay a lesser tax. is that telling, that that is going to go away? >> that is what looks like. the specific conversations did say that ireland will one to make sure they can sell that plan because it is in the best economic interest for ireland itself, but sh

as the legend tells us on the day congress laid down guidelines to the new flag john paul jones was named commander of the newly built ship ranger. well the flags of flag units recognized by a country that's not yours and the stars and stripes did not been seen beyond. be sure so congress called on john paul jones a giant of a man to take the flag in the ship. they build on a tour of foreign land john paul jones be hardy. i just think jones would see despite the clue the ranger went down in history aboard the good ship rangers. he made his way to france our commissioners and parasky the stars and stripes its chance to snug inside the harbor the sales will set to ride the french we gave the first salute a flag was recognized john paul jones be hardy not just wait don't see delighted through the ranger went down in history. one more round for john fortunes the flag in his precious that near my town. by moonlight was the greatest one of all with guns that shook the night. he made the serapis scarborough fall. no ordinary. man, ever claimed such victories or carried up like so bravely in our early history john paul jones. we hearties i just bring homes with he h

of the united. and i see members of congress , members of the congressional black caucus, members of the united states senate who passed this bill unanimously. [applause] all of whom collectively were responsible for delivering this bill to the president's desk and i thank you all. the nation thanks you all and when we establish a national holiday, it makes an important statement. national holidays are something important. these are days when we as a nation have decided to stop and take stock and often to acknowledge our history. so as we establish juneteenth as our newest national holiday, let us be clear about what happened on june 19 1865. the day we call juneteenth. because you see, that they was not the end of slavery in america . yes, on that day the enslaved people of galveston texas learned they were free but in fact, 2 and a half years earlier the emancipation proclamation and it's free in theconfederacy . think about that. for more than two years the enslaved people of texas were kept in servitude. for more than two years they were intentionally kept from their freedom. for more than two yea

of. this is a day that i will have the opportunity to bring to the attention of the congress of the united states of america a very special resolution. this is a resolution that is supporting the designation of slavery remembrance day. the resolution proposes that august 20, 2021 serve as the first slavery remembrance day. and this is done to remind us of the evils of slavery. i have noticed that as time has passed during my lifetime that there have been those who have sought to whitewash, to sanitize the evils associated with slavery. this is a necessary resolution because this resolution will forever allow us to remember the horrors of slavery. the events that have shaped our current circumstances. slavery was our seminal sin. it's the sin that has for too long, centuries, for too long had an impact on the politics, the economics, the social standing of people in our country. this resolution reads as follows. i shall not read it in its entirety today, but there are some portions of it that are exceedingly important. it reads, whereas this resolution may be cited as the original slavery r

transportation, you're told under penalty of federal law, you must wear a mask, but i would ask, where is the act of congress providing that? in what year did the congress of the united states pass through the house and through the senate and submit to the president of the united states for significant or veto a law stating that you must wear a mask on a plane or a train or a bus or in a bus depot or in a train station or an airport under penalty of law. there is no such law. you will not find it. you will find some stuff where we are delegated too much authority and given broad authority to the executive branch, to people like the c.d.c. to issue regulations, but as a matter of proper form, whenever they exercise that power it's not appropriate for that to take effect by itself. it's not really a law in the constitutional sense of the word unless congress has enacted it. so we've given them far too much power anyway and that is on us. we should youn't do -- we shouldn't do that and why i have been calling to reforms, including but not limited to the reins act which would require any federal regulation before it takes effect must be passed by both houses of congress

it's right there in article 1: "all legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a congress of the uniteds, which shall consist of a senate, where one wizened, ancient turtle-man, with no regard for anything but the self- preservation of his own power, shall, with his pockets stuffed with greasy bags of money, strangle the hope of all who dare to dream of true democracy. and recognize april as national jazz month."
