correct. >> what about the incidents of cancer in the department? >> cancer has always been an issue, and more and more because of changes at the division of workers' compensation, cancer is more readily recognized as being work related. fewer claims are being denied for cancer. there is an increasing body of evidence that clearly points to the fact that firefighting as a job is a carcinogen, and there is no dispute there. with continued exposure to fire suppression, with continued exposure to the hazards, toxins, chemicals, the cancerous soup that exists at any fire, there is always going to be exposure, and our members will always be at risk. >> from a medical standpoint, where would your profession, not you individually perhaps, but where would your profession rank firefighters in terms of the most challenging, physically challenging careers? >> no dispute there, high. >> number one, two, three? >> as far as occupations, it probably is on par with law enforcement. not as high as military because obviously military is the most, but it is up there.

but i'd never been in the department of corrections, in prison. well, this time, there was no way for any to avoid a prison senten sentence. and i went to prison -- there's more to that story, but we don't have time for it. i went on into prison and i came home may 25th, 2004, with absolutely nothing. i didn't even have a change of underwear. i was wearing the white uniform that the kitchen workers from the prison wore because i did not have a change of clothes. lo and behold, kathleen gibson, your wonderful chief operating officer from oxford house, was in the parking lot of that prison that day. i had no idea she even knew that it was my release date, but she did. she'd been keeping up with me. and she was there and i walked over to her truck, i said, what are you doing here? she said, look, my husband -- her husband is keith, y'all know keith -- my husband and i, we've been talking about you and praying about you, and we decided that you're going to come and stay with us for a few days. don't worry about nothing, come on, get in the truck, it's

your committee has jurisdiction over the state department? >> correct we got a copy of this report late friday night. we're looking through it, we will be asking a lot of questions, i will request a hearing on this and i think above all, maria, the most concerned about even back in 2016 when this got exposed were these highly secretive special access programs. these are the covert programs with the most really highly- classified programs in the united states government. the fact that she took those programs overseas on electronic devices and potentially compromised that, that will be the biggest focus i have on this issue. maria: it just feels like there's never any accountability look at that meeting that you had in the white house last week where nancy pelosi stormed out. there's no focus whatsoever by your colleagues on the left of the true wrongdoing. when you look at the russia investigation, same thing. >> well i agree and going back to the impeachment hearings i call it a star chamber. if you look at the definition of what was back in the day, it

of the 256 investigations we closed in fiscal year 18-19, 103 resulted in the department taking corrective or preventative action. they believe it's when reporters make high quality reports that are investigated. they work to educate employees and members of the public by publishing bulletins to make individuals aware of red flags associated with fraud. in fiscal year 18-19, there was materials on supply chain fraud and overtime abuse. of the 91 reports that were open on june 30th, the majority were 90 days old or less at that time. the whistleblower program examines factors that delay work closure and work to address these issues. whistleblower programs are making sure that investigations are standardized and increase the skill sets of these employees to make sure they have an understanding of the responsibilities entrusted to them to carry out the whistleblower investigations. so one of our big initiatives in fiscal year 19-20 is addressing the new requirements in the conduct code. in january 2019, changes to the conduct code went into effect. these changes place responsibilities on city

. >> the inspector general is not alleging wrongdoing by anyone inside of the state department? >> correctthe inspector general was basically just saying we're sitting on this packet of disinformation which came from some uncertain place and again this is my interpretation of it. there may be misconduct by the secretary of state or other state department employees in distributing this if they know where it comes from and they know that it does not have any authentic source in the white house. but maybe it did come from the white house. we just don't know where it came from. i think that is the big mystery here. it is very clear what it is. it is a package of propaganda and disinformation and conspiracy theories. the real question is where did it come from and how did it end newspaper our lap right now? >> in advance of this -- >> how did the i.g. become aware of this. this went to secretary pompeo and how did it get to the i.g. >> this is a question you have to ask the i.g. but i believe it was the counsel to the state department who turned it over to the i.g. >> is pompeo -- does he get a

one of the things they told the department of corrections specifically required to not notify i.c.e.c.e. access to facilities. rishel, will go with you and quickly to emily. >> this is really difficult because i think our law enforcement officials should be working together and i do think there is a risk if you start to eliminate some sort of communication between our federal and local officials when it comes to people who are actually charged with crimes. i do not think you should profile people but if someone is arrested because they burglarized a store or in one case that they had in d.c. were a man actually raped a woman and they were able to post bail and i.c.e. was able to pick him up after he was out on the streets and put them forward to deportation, i think he there is a huge risk there. i think this is coming from some of the rhetoric we are seeing from the white house in these cities are doing and is in a policy they can to protect their residence. >> shannon: the good thing is there is no crime in d.c. >> i'm a d.c. resident, this is not making me feel more safe at all. i

correct? >> that figure is a department-wide figure. >> that is a department-wide figure? >> yes, ma'am. >> in relation to what the letter actually says and also noticing that we have many more fatalities than we would like, we are not meeting our vision zero goals, we are not on tram to meet those goals, we know that enforcement is a huge part of changing the behavior of drivers. as you know my husband was a solo motorcyclist for years. i think that truthfully speaking it is the only deterrent that the police department actually really has this impact, that when you get a ticket once, you think twice about it, or you're trying to run through a stop sign again, you're more cautious. when we look at these numbers city-wide, and i believe we should increase our traffic unit to a higher number, i would like to see the traffic unit doubled because i think their enforcement is so super important in our city. i guess what i'm trying to understand is how much time is actually spent on traffic enforcement, how much time is actually spent on other things such as escorts or being pu
