that was cori bush, a member of congress from missouri somehow.as you just heard, to black birthing people, in other words, mothers. that happened in a house committee hearing and tighter in birthing while from examining america's black maternal health crisis. because everything is about race now. some people thought this language of birthing people was in fact kind of dehumanizing, reducing people to their biological function, though that, of course, would be par for the course for cori bush and friends, but a prominent abortion providing group, the abortion lobby, jumped to cori bush's defense. when we talk about birthing people, we are just being inclusive, not stalinist,d crazy, but inclusive. it is that simple. we use gender-neutral language when talking about pregnancy -- [laughs] because it is not just cisgender women, whatever that means, that can get pregnant and give birth, reproductive freedom is for everybody. okay, so it is not just women who can give birth, says a lobby that came to be protecting health care. right. sandy cortez, of

cori bush did respond so charlie i'm going to play this, it's a tweet she said i testify in front ofmy pain republicans got more upset about me using gender inclusive language in my testimony then the fact that my baby nearly died, racism entrance phobia in america. that is your tweet, by the way if you see this hearing, people should pull up this testimony she gave us, she didn't mean to but she gave one of the most pro-life speeches i've ever heard on our floor, she absolutely did i'm sure she didn't intend to but it was beautiful, she talked about the humanity of her fetuses and everything else, what do you say to her response? >> it's only unfunny thing about the story is her response and why you would go and reach for something like that because she was being laughed at, everybody is laughing at her for her ridiculous term, reducing women to vending machines as if being a mom is about birthing, i've been around some really marvelous mothers, marvelous women, literally the strongest people i know on this planet are all women and they are a whole lot more than just brooding recept

democrat george -- democrat cori bush, l hobart and ayanna pressley joined republicans in voting against the legislation. the bill now heads to the senate for approval. other piece of legislation working its way through congress is a bill to create an independent commission to review the events of january the sixth. senate majority leader chuck schumer says he intends to have a vote on the bill soon after it received bipartisan support in the house. sen. schumer: on january 6, only a few months ago. the memory is still fresh for all of us who experienced it firsthand. a violent mob stormed the citadel of democracy, assaulted our capitol police and tried to halt the peaceful transfer of power. 140 officers were injured. five people would eventually lose their lives in connection to the attack. i was within 20 feet of these hooligans. it was one of the darkest moments in american democracy. the first time the capital was breached since the war of 1812, over 200 years ago. and yet, not five months later, many on the republican side are trying to whitewash what happened. here is what one sen

the most about the conflict but pressure is also coming from more of the president's colleagues cory bush from the state of missouri tweeted the black and palestinian struggle for liberation are interconnected and we will not let up until all of us are free while i had a presley a congresswoman from massachusetts tweeted we can't stand idly by but the u.s. government sends $3800000000.00 of military aid to israel and here she is condemning the forced expulsions off palestinian families from their homes we are bearing witness to agree just human rights violations the pain trauma and terror the palestinians are facing is not just a result of this week's escalation but the consequence of years of military occupation in shake your rub the israeli government is violently dispossessing yet another neighborhood of palestinian families from homes they have lived in for decades we cannot stand idly complicity by and allow the occupation and oppression of the palestinian people to continue harrelson is a washington post columnist and senior fellow of the ethics and public policy center he says the

us i want to ask the members of the recess let me just thank members karen bass, madeleine dean, cori bush, ted lieu, veronica escobar, steven cohen who i hope will return and we were recess for the votes. to the panelists come if you can reserve and will call to order in just a few minutes. this is in recess. committee is in recess. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> we will call this hearing to order again. it is entitled an end in the crisis, essential steps to reducing gun violence and mass shootings. as i began to call on the

african-american congressmembers cori bush, ilhan omar, and ayanna pressley said in a joint statement- "a bill that pours $1.9 billion into increased police surveillance and force without addressing the underlying threats of organized and violent white supremacy, radicalization, and disinformation that led to this attack will not prevent it from happening again." arizona's secretary of state is advising maricopa county officials to replace all voting machines that were turned over to a private company hired by republicans to conduct a fourth audit of the 2020 election. the recount is being overseen by cyber ninjas, a company with no record of working in election security and whose ceo has promoted conspiracy theories claiming the election was stolen. arizona secretary of state katie hobbs cited "grave concerns regarding the security and integrity" of hundreds of voting machines that were in cyber ninja custody with no election official or observer present. president biden signed the covid-19 hate crimes act into law thursday, which was introduced to address the sky-rocketing rates of

this week your massachusetts colleague, ayanna pressley, along with congresswoman cori bush and other eight house democrats insisting that it be excised from any version of the bill, house or senate. but your majority whip, jim clyburn signaled this month he's willing to leave it for now to get a law on the books and then try to do something on it later. where do you come down on this, congresswoman? >> well, thank you, reverend sharpton, for having me on. i can tell you that on this very somber anniversary that we are soon going to be honoring and memorializing with the murder of george floyd one year ago. i'm going to do everything i can to make sure that we get rid of the doctrine of qualified immunity. the key word, and it is what everyone snow shower democratic caucus wants, is accountability. and we cannot have accountability when we have a doctrine that, through the courts, has become one of virtually absolute immunity. when it is the burden of the victims of police brutality to establish there's an exact fact pattern out there that waives immunity for a police officer or any p

stay on in that same hearing, missouri congresswoman cori bush use the phrase, birthing people, to tell story of giving birth to her own son at 23 weeks gestation. pro-abortion group echoing the phrase tweeting, when we talk about birthing people, we are being inclusive. it's that simple. we use gender-neutral language when talking about pregnancy, because it's not just cisgender women who get pregnant and give birth. reproductive freedom is for every body. the head of the tsa says a number of firearms like the airport checkpoint surged over the last year telling the hill that in just the last week of april, 120 firearms were found. they are that the weapons detected a checkpoint, 80% of them are found loaded. following last year's initial work from home quarantine, pet adoption spikes to new levels, record levels. now there may be just starting to turn around. rescue organizations in colorado and virginia reporting more pets are being returned as more people are now going back to the office. animal rescue advocates remind people to be fully prepared for all of the responsibilities befo

for example, cori bush who came to washingn on the shoulders of movement in ferguson, missouri, gave a moving speech on the house floor in dedication to a fallen wire. -- why you're. she besides like a palestinian solidarity is real and there is a commitment not because of some theoretical framework, but because of the work they did on the ground during the ferguson-gaza moment, during the occupation of ferguson in 2014 the simultaneous bombardment of gaza when it became clear and evident that israeli and u.s. state violence are not the same but quite similar and operate similar circuits of capital and profit, the fact that u.s. police officers from ferguson were trained by israeli army personnel and police, the fact that similar technologies are used in u.s. prisons as well as israeli prisons for surveillance was of the fact that similar tactics of racial profiling are used, the fact that excess weapons from u.s. were making the middle east camille's warmaking in the middle east are then distributed to local law enforcement officers. here in the united states. makes clear this is no

you all remember earlier this year congresswoman cori bush asked greene to put on her mask at a timeill pretty low in this country, and she accused greene of confronting her, getting very close to her face for even making such a suggestion. so it really shows the decorum and the lack thereof that now exists on capitol hill especially over on the house side. >> you say you never know what you're going to see. i spent plenty of time on capitol hill. i've never seen this, one member of congress seeming to stalk, frankly, another member of congress. have you seen something like that before? >> no. and honestly just seeing the moment play out was pretty shocking. there was also some onlookers, aides, who saw it happening. it's not something you see every day or every week or every month. it really does speak to the polarization that exists and the tensions between both parties, republicans and democrats. this did prompt congresswoman ocasio-cortez to ask leadership and also the sergeant of arms at the house side to be more vigilant about these kinds of behaviors because it could possibly

louis rep, cori bush, she refers to st.lice department and she calls everything police violence. well let's look at columbus for a moment. the officer used force to save a life. tragically a teenager was killed but it was not a bad shooting. so what is happening people today are looking into a bucket, every time a police officer uses deadly force wrong, they refer to it as police violence. look what lebron said, you're next. >> right, right. >> [inaudible]. charles: chief. i have got a little bit of time. i want to share a video with you and the audience, a atlanta police officer expressing frustration. it has gone viral on tiktok, 1.7 million views in three days. listen to the message and your thoughts. >> i wake up every morning and kiss my family good-bye, knowing that there is a possibility i won't come home! i am tired of every time i wake up in the morning there is someone else polarizing the fact that maybe law enforcement is just a good thing. all of us are not bad! i am not as they are! most of us are not. there ar

the cory bushes, we have a palestinian member.etting at that money saying they want to block the $735 million in aid going to israel. that feels like real change, or is it? >> it's a seed change. it's an absolute change. it is not just members at one end of the caucus. today you have nearly 140 members, nearly two-thirds of the members, called for an immediate cease fire, making it very clear to president biden that what is being said is true. the united states is not doing everything it can to stop this. two-thirds of the democrats in congress. you have 29 senators on sunday led by the newest senator john ossoff, a young jewish member standing up saying this has to end. so i don't think it is a minor group at one end of the spectrum. i think this is a seed children. where the center of the democratic party is, the center of public opinion is at. >> i think to me as well, all my life since i was a kid watching this on "nightline" and seeing benjamin netanyahu when he was more of a commentator, being very, very hawkish. it never fe

cori bush likes that one, that was her bill. here is what we did. i started calling for recorded votes and democrats were upset because it is messing up the schedule and taking up time. i had to stop their lunches and fundraising calls, and get up from their naps and come down to vote. it was not just democrats upset with me, it was the republicans also. [boos] guess what? as a matter of fact, i got chewed out quite a few times, not by democrats because they do not talk to me. it was by republicans. do you want to know what they said? [cheering] >> marjorie, you don't want to do this. i said, why? why not? you're going to put people on record. you need to let these things pass quietly. you can vote your conscience and say yay or nay. that is not what i am here for. i know how to do a job, and i like to work hard. [applause] just like you. just like all of you, just like the american people, except the ones who love getting their bailout checks and staying home and will not go to work. that is another issue. i got chewed out for making people vote. i

and congresswoman cori bush from missouri and her staff accused taylor greene of accosting her in a tunnel after bush asked greene to put on a mask for her safety. greene accused bush of lying. marjorie taylor greene has been unrepentant about her behavior. she's doubled down on it and really brought the behavior we have seen at trump rallies over the past four years to the halls of congress. >> yeah. jacqueline, thank you so much for your reporting tonight. i really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> as a former republican congressman, carlos curbelo has a special insight into the republican caucus and he joins me now. one level, i think taylor greene is a bit of an outlier in the republican caucus, but not in this respect. there's these people who have to do trend setting, like, they look for the latest styles and they go to specific, like, adolescent girls who are 14, right, who are they're like what the future of style will be in six months. and to me, marjorie taylor greene, there is one of her now, there will be 10, 12, 14. that will be more and more of the caucus after the m

we've seen what she's done to alex, my colleague, to cory bush, and i thought, the best way not to letple like this bully others is to tell the bullies to back off. so not surprisingly, this aide of hers got quite speechless when i had a few choice words for him. but the other point is my staff walks by marjorie taylor greene in the hallways and they detest what she stands for, but they don't confront her or order her around, because that's just not what we do in what is supposed to be a civil discourse environment. >> well, i'm wondering what you thought about nancy pelosi suggesting yesterday that maybe there needs to be an ethics investigation. have you talked to the speaker about this? >> i'm on the leadership team and this is an issue that we are looking at, is how we can just make sure that we have civil discourse. we can disagree, but not be disrespectful. and what miss greene continues to do is disrespectful. approaching people, yelling at people, trying to shout them down. we saw in 2019, we went to ocasio-cortez's office and she said, come out, come out, we'll wait as long as

. >> representative cori bush has put forward legislation that would censure these people for doing whaty are doing. because they know that some of their own will be implicated. do you believe that people like andrew clyde who are now lying about the insurrection should be expelled? and would you vote for that resolution? >> i first want the full facts, and then they will be held to account by their voters and by us. but, number one, we need the facts. we need an independent commission. look what happened here. bennie thompson and representative katko negotiated in good faith with the blessings of leader mccarthy and got to a bipartisan independent commission, five and five, equal rights over the subpoena power. and then mr. mccarthy must've had to check in with mr. trump, and he backpedalled on his own member undermining him. what we need first before expulsion is all of the facts laid bare, and let the facts take us where they may, and we will find who is culpable. >> if any members gave tours to people who later turned out to be part of the insurrection, should they be expelled? >> if

cori bush reported in june greene we arberated her in the hallway.his is greene confronting david hogg, a teenager. >> david, why are you supporting the red flag laws? if there had been -- if scott peterson had done his job, then nikolas cruz wouldn't have killed anybody in your high school. why are you supporting laws that attack our second amendment rights? why are you using kids as a barrier? do you not know how to defend your stance? >> greene is a u.s. congresswoman. she represents about 700,000 americans, and of course, that behavior is not how anyone should behave. never mind if you're an elected official. this has become the culture for many in the republican party, to make a name for yourself by doing something dramatic or controversial, and it goes viral. and it's worked for greene. she's raised a staggering $3.2 million during the first quarter of the year as her party has done nothing to stop her. not each a comment from kevin mccarthy. so "outfront" now, one of "the washington post" reporters that was there that witnessed the episode bet

it isn't just alexandria ocasio-cortez, it's cori bush, it's eric swalwell.that are being harassed by margorie taylor greene, and kevin mccarthy, the leader of the republican party, and steve scalise and elise stefanik are responsible for letting that continue. they kicked justin amash you have of his committees for criticizing trump, and they have refused to take any action against margorie taylor greene. no action. so they are, you know, going along with this, and in fact, encouraging it, because she's raising a lot of money and they're hoping she's going to continue to raise money for them. >> congresswoman, 30 seconds left. i have to ask you, the situation in gaza. this week, progressive democrats, we see them be more critical of israel in my lifetime. are things changing in the democratic party on israel and palestine? only 30 seconds left. i want your take. >> israel's behavior has gotten to outrageous with the annexations. human rights abuses. it is starting to change, and i believe joe biden needs to be far stronger than he has been so far. this is a

cori bush likes that went by the way. that was her bill. so here's what we did.started calling for these recorded votes and democrats were really upset because it's messing, up the schedule and taking a lot of time in a day but had to stop what they're doing, stop thed lunches and stp the friend raising calls and get up from the nap and all kinds of things and come out and vote. well, it wasn't just the democrats who upset with me. it was the republicans also. well, guess what. as a matter fact i got chewed out quite a few times, it wasn't by democrats because they don't talk to me. it was by republicans. yeah. do you want to know what they said likes yeah. marjorie, you don't want to do this, marjorie. i said, why? why not? well, you are going to put people on record. you just need to let these things pass quietly and you can vote conscious marjorie could you can say yeah or nay. like, that's not what i'm here for. i know how to do a job and i like to work hard. just like you, just like all of you, just like the american people, except the ones that love getting

democrat george -- democrat cori bush, l hobart and ayanna

i will think karen bass, lucy mcbeth, madeleine dean, cory bush, ted lieu, monica escobar for their presence here along with chairman of the full committee, mr. nadler. i think my members of the minority, mr. jordan, mr. biggs, w greg stewie, tom tiffany, thomas massey, victoria sparks, burgess owens and i know we will work together for what is good for young people. it is now my obligation as i welcome all of our distinguished witnesses to thank them for their participation beginning by swearing in witnesses and i asked that witnesses in person please rise and raise your right hand and i ask that our remote witnesses please rise and raise your right hand and the witnesses are in the room, please rise and raise your right hand and i ask that our remote witnesses would please turn on their audio and make sure that i can see your face and your raise right hand while i administer the oath. t may i see your raised right hand while i administer the oath. witnesses unmute. raise your right hands in a way that is visible in the screen. do you swearar or affirm under penalty of perjury that the test

us i want to ask the members of the recess let me just thank members karen bass, madeleine dean, cori bush, ted lieu, veronica escobar, steven cohen who i hope will return and we were recess for the votes. to the panelists come if you can reserve and will call to order in just a few minutes. this is in recess. committee is in recess. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] >> we will call this hearing to order again. it is entitled an end in the crisis, essential steps to reducing gun violence and mass shootings. as i began to call on the other witnesses, just want to take note of the fact of the introductions that many of these witnesses have experienced their own personal stories of gun violence. i want to say to them that they have our concern and our hearts focus on their loss. the next witness knows that loss all to personally, and that indicated earlier as i introduced him, that he is taken that to serve america. mr. guttenberg, you are eulogy at this time for five minutes. thank you. >> thank you. chairwoman jackson lee, ranking member biggs, and distinguished members of

cori bush, bernie sanders, aoc, even chuck schumer a staunch supporter of israel has realized his party have certainly changed since joe biden broke in in the 1970s and talked to golden about the dangers of fighting in the 1937 yom kippur war. former ambassador to the u.s. tweeted this i would not be surprised if joe biden is standing by benjamin netanyahu in order to say i stood by you now keep your mouth shut as i paraphrase while i sign and get back on the iran yap be deal. as if that will be the payback. steve: well, there is a story in the press this morning that says the white house is urging israel to hurry up with the bombing and stop it. white house officials noted that the international objections and emphasized that time is not on israel's side. the president was in dearborn, michigan yesterday for unveiling later today f-150 lightning. ainsley: is that white it was wrapped up. steve: that's why it was cam flowdged. today we will be seeing it. dearborn michigan has the largest population of arab americans. a number of people, demonstrations asking the people to do more to rei

now, she wasn't openly defund the police any more than cori bush was when she ran for congress.blican winning, steve. steve: so she wants to defund the police and she wants to shut down a jail. and she has said this more police doesn't prevent crime. research done in the police department shows that 50% of calls can be answered by somebody other than police. so why not deploy somebody other than the police and free up to police to do the work that they were trained to do in our academy. you know, and if that were true, it would be great. but over the last year, we have seen other people go in certain localities to answer police calls and that doesn't necessarily always work out exactly the right way. >> so one of the most prevalent calls that police receive are domestic disturbance calls and also the most dangerous call. a police officer is more likely to be shot on that call than any other. i'm not sure what research she is looking at. 81% of black americans in poll after poll the most recent one being a gallup one saying they want more police in their neighborhood. they want b

your comrade cortez and ilhan omar and tlaib and cori bush. it equivalent to terrorism. joe biden another part he said at that podium yesterday i think you know my party still supports israel. when you are saying having to affirm time and time again this is our stance, it is -- it demonstrates in and of itself there is a split there has been a bipartisan cop census of the state of israel. when that starts to erode and let radical voices come to the top, emily, which is what happen. you start to see things like this on our own street which is unacceptable. >> rising probably inly and to your point about letting it fester. those members of the democrat party have gone unchecked with their comment for so long. we have had represented omar and tlaib and ocasio-cortez saying things it's all about the benjamins. reposting cartoons from it iranian holocaust deniers. tlaib said it was comforting or calming to talk about the holocaust. it went uncensored and unchecked and mixed with social media and the incitement the use of tiktok which is frankly a trifecta then it's absolutely

cori coffin. zoining me now is zerlina maxwell and host of the show "zerlina" on peacock. curt bardella for the dccc, and that's a new one and elise jordan, former aide in the george w. bush msnbc political analyst. welcome all of you, always good to see you. elise, the implications, how do you see them? >> you know, it doesn't look good for donald trump any way you cut it. i do question how anything will happen to donald trump because nothing ever does and he manages to be completely unscathed no matter what how or what illegality that would imprison someone else and the new york attorney general is hammering down on donald trump and it looks like alan weisselberg might not hold firm and that is certainly a development that is going to evolve over the coming months and i think we should just pace ourselves. >> you know, zerlina, this is no small step. a former president under criminal investigation. what do you think this might look like to both americans and the rest of the world? >>. >> well, it certainly doesn't look like a 100% functioning democracy in the sense that you have this president, this former president who is under investigation leading one of the two majo
