if the d.c. mayor, chief contee, had control over the d.c. national guard on january 6, do you believe that the d.c. national guard would have been deployed to the capitol earlier than it was on january 6th? >> yes, i do believe that. >> i think we see that in your depl deployment, when things got out of control and the mayor was finally able to send you to the capitol. chief contee, my d.c. home rule act would repeal the president's authority to federal lies the d.c. president. now, the president doesn't have the authority to federalize eye other state or local police department. during protests in d.c. after the murder of george floyd, the trump administration threatened to federalize the d.c. president. >> does the president have the authority to federalize the d.c. department? >> no, i do not. >> under who's authority without statehood? >> the mayor of the district of columbia. >> madam chair, it is long past time for congress to give the d.c. mayor control over the d.c. national guard and to repeal the president's authority to federalize

the federal police forces in d.c. are re-examing security protocols given the risk of foreign and domestic terrorism. as the chief of the district's municipal police force, i must think about our preparations, not only for possible attacks, but the dale limb pact of our targets, as they harden targets in the federal enclave, other buildings may become more likely targets. thank you again for the opportunity to brief you today. i'll be happy to answer questions as we try to come to terms with january 6th. thank you. >> thank you. and i now recognize myself for questions. on january 6 congress was filling its constitutional duty to certify the results of the presidential election. when vice president pence, speaker pelosi and other members of congress had to be quickly evacuated because a violent mob had breached the capitol. mr. miller, you were the acting secretary of defense of january 6th. did president trump as the commander-in-chief of the u.s. med forces call you during the januy 6th attack to ensure the capitol

to work better if it only came to d.c. met a lot of smart people in d.c., but i can also tell you i know a lot of smart people in oklahoma that love their neighbors, that want to see the right thing done, that care úans sudden belief that if we're going to get things done right, you have to bring it to washington, d.c., and allow the folks in washington, d.c., to be able to run it, i will tell you the folks in my state would shake their head and say, we're doing okay. let us take care of our neighbors at home and don't make us sign a paper every time we want to do something and send it off to somebody we never met in washington, d.c. because growing the size of our federal government is not a goal for me. being efficient, protecting the rights of every american, protecting our national security, those are goals. they don't require federalizing everything. i can tell you a couple of areas where last night really had some shinning moments for me, though. president biden twice in his speech literally reached out to republican

it was the largest march that d.c. seen up to that point, probably 400,000 people marched down pennsylvania avenue to the capitol. that was on april 24, 1971. and then, following that, there were a series of smaller demonstrations, leading up to the mayday protest, which was meant to be a three-day blockade of the city to kind of force more attention onto their cause. and that -- the folks who came to town for that came from all over the country and from some other countries, too. all 50 states were represented. people came in from -- you know a lot of volkswagen buses and beetles, were all parked along the river and it included people who felt that the marching and the parading and the petitioning wasn't enough and that what was needed was a more forceful act and they believed this was the time for mass civil disobedience as a way to, you know, sort of put their bodies on the line out of a belief that the war was really wrong and needed to end. >> why was it called mayday? >> it was originally scheduled for actual may

d.c., admission act. in just six days our country will observe memorial day, a holiday often observed to mark the start of summer, celebrate it the start of summer. but on memorial day this year, many of us will pause to remember generations of americans in our armed forces that have laid down their lives fora country. this day means something to my own family. my own maternal grandmother was a gold star mother. with the death of john mccain, i am the last vietnam veteran sesqui in the united states senate. the names of some 58,000 men and women with whom john and i served 0 blased on a black granite wall on the mall, mimes from where we are standing today. the names include brave men and women from washington, d.c., as well. since world war i in fact over 5,000 americans from the district of columbia have lost their lives in service to the united states. and today roughly 15,000 d.c. residents are on active duty or serving as reservists or members of the national guard in their states. th

from new york, georgia, or d.c., he jumping on his plane, and only one country in this world that will let him land that plane. host: we will leave it there. we are focusing on security on capitol hill. the question, how do you strike the balance between security and access? capitol hill is very open, but security has been tightened significantly, especially in light of what happened on january 6. this is part of the debate from the house for yesterday. the lead sponsor of the bill, democrat from connecticut, here is what she had to say. [video clip] >> this bill is narrowly tailored to respond to january 6 and to protect the capitol going forward. it contains 1.9 billion dollars in emerging think funding to reimburse the national guard and the district of columbia for their response. provide the capitol police with overtime pay, retention bonuses, replacement, wellness, trauma support, and ensure the department of justice can parse secured every person who attacked law enforcement and ransacked this building. it provides bonuses and help to custodial staff, and it renames the capitol

like many of the folks who came down to d.c. for may day, i also believe that it was time for a more forceful kind of a demonstration. i guess i was part of it. >> what was it like? >> it was it an extremely chaotic day. i saw on monday, may 3rd at rush hour, starting probably about 5:30 in the morning, at the folks who came down for may day came out into the streets. everyone was assigned a small group of protesters they divided into small groups called in affinity groups, in each one was given a place to go. a bridge, a traffic intersection, a traffic circle, in order to block traffic, just to be ready for when police came. so, during the morning, it was getting to be done, you saw clumps of folks walking all over the city into their assigned areas. then almost immediately, you started hearing sirens, and then tear gas yuck, right around later on in the morning, the mass arrests began. >> your description of the planning in the predawn events of that day when you were just talking about, this is from washington d.c. police dep

like many of the people who came down to d.c. for mayday, i also believe that it was time for a more forceful demonstration. i guess i was part of it. it was an extremely chaotic day. monday, may 3 at rush hour, starting about 5:30 in the morning, those who had come down for mayday came out into the street. everyone was assigned. they divided into smaller groups and each one was given a place to go. it was in order to block traffic. just to be ready for when police came. during the morning, it was getting to be done. he saw clumps of people walking all over the city, into their assigned areas. almost immediately, you started hearing sirens, teargas, waiting around, -- later on in the morning, the mass arrests began. greta: we want to show you the predawn event of that day. this is from a washington dc police department film on the mayday protest called, the whole world is watching. >> monday's tax makes called for civil disobedience. targets were broken into two areas, traffic circles and bridges. mayday leaders felt like if they

>> this is a d.c. case, d.c. attorneys in our counsel worked on it for over a year.with amazon as best as we could to establish a cooperative relationship, to gather documents and analyze the case. at the end of the day, we felt the case needed to be brought. it is not uncommon, as your question suggests, for other attorneys general to join together in a lawsuit. that may happen, or it may not. we are very confident in our case. emily: that leads me to my next question. why did you file this action in local court versus collaborating with other states before doing this? >> i think that is a fair question. again, we welcome any state to review our complaint. they know how to reach me and my team. we will bring them in on the case if they are interested in this theory. we brought the suit because we believe amazon is exercising its clear monopoly power on the digital mall in a way that punishes third party sellers and hurts consumers by leaving consumers with no choice but to pay higher prices for good. amazon never in its press release takes on or even acknowledges th

in d.c. when you go through criminal code, d.c. is a weird city because we have federal law enforced by d.c. police and d.c. municipal code but you go through that and there are lots of offenses on the book that are so ridiculous and trivial that they shouldn't be criminal offenses at all in my view. ... sense. that kind of cost-benefit analysis i was talking about where you say we could arrest 500 people for the disorderly conduct >> and those of the conversations we need to have like in new york city to be declared unconstitutional because what they were doing it turns out with an era of transparency actually it turns out if you look at the numbers very carefully that police in new york city this on - - new york city were stopping a disproportionate amount of black citizens but african-americans were less likely than white people that they stopped. that was unconstitutional but also fascinating that overestimates the threat from african-american and underestimate the threat from rights one - - from whites pico and that both has t

so at the time, d.c. a public defender service, which was run by a woman named barbara bowman, the largest public defender service in the country. with all these people in court, they did not have any representation. barbara bowman decided to bring her lawyers in to heal this egregious problem with justice. so they brought habeas corpus lawsuits into the courts, and after several days of fighting with government lawyers, they managed to free all of the prisoners who were locked up. and almost all of them were freed without a formal charge put against them because there was no paperwork and many of them were committing absolutely no crimes when they were swept up. if that was not enough, civil liberties later stepped in, including the aclu, and filed lawsuits on behalf of of the people who had been detained for violations of their first amendment and fourth amendment rights. and over the years, these cases were unanimously decided in favor of the defendants. so not only were they ultimately freed, but the

and, you know, if d.c., we can even require a negative covid-19 test or show a vaccination card. you know, i really think at this point in the pandemic we are able to do these things to just really make sure that everyone is safe. i really hope they can meet us the middle here. >> stephanie the kind of co confusing thing is d.c. is right in between maryland and virginia and they have different rules, right? >> that is correct. they're completely different. a lot less restrictive. they are certainly not banning standing during a cocktail hour. they are not banning any sort of dancing. they have reduced capacities which are still greater than what d.c. is allowing, but none of those further restrictions are in place, so couples are turning to virginia and maryland. even at the last minute, i'm in the process of a wedding set for last week that was in washington, d.c. moving them to virginia so they can celebrate. >> it is a balancing act between getting back to normal and doing these obviously important thing

this is an original cold rock from the headquarters in washington, d.c.. almost everything in here is original to one extent or another that deals with the cold war. recently this book came out called code girls and it talks about what the women in the military and the agencies did here at the site during world war ii and the cold war to monitor and intercept radio communications. right here as we start to exit, you can see what the event tell base looked like in the fifties. it was significant stars for signals intelligent vint hill they were intercepting the signals from the air. is there an antenna arrays that we're picking up a variety of signals from around the world, as well as the embassy communications from washington, d.c.. and in world war ii when they started using this facility as a listening post, they were listening to german, japanese and italian frequencies. some would-be cap dispatchers, some would be military communications, some would be normal radio communications to see what they were telling the public at the time. there was a variety

this is d.c., it violates d.c. law.s like a google or an alphabet would that change the equation here and could this set up the groundwork >> yeah. i mean it's an interesting question i think a lot of these antitrust cases take time, obviously, for them to develop. you know, the anti-competitive i think is an issue for sure but i think it will take time to develop. i'm really focused with amazon on their aws business as mike had shared earlier i think it's been consolidating since september. i think it's bound to break out actually at some point the second half of this year. >> mike, either way, a decent sort of consolidation day for mega cap tech? >> yeah. it's obviously been a pocket of relative strength. in here yesterday and mentioned too that it seemed very much the thing to buy yesterday just because there had been some laggard activity in the nasdaq 100 type names there were some big one-day moves that weren't based on much of anything except let's grab some of the stuff that hasn't worked in a while. very choppy

he thought that washington, d.c.'se would go nowhere and there was not sufficient proof, and yet, we see other states potentially piling on. there has to be something. >> yes. they are learning more. a lot of states came into this cold. they have to learn what it is like to sell on amazon, which is completely different from the physical store. all of the aspects involved in it and the tricks merchants use, it is a steep, steep learning curve, so the regulators are still figuring out how this thing works so they can figure out where the potential problems are, and that is where it is slow going. there are not a lot of people who understand it, so they are still in this learning phase. emily: all right. well, we will keep following, as will you. thank you so much. meantime, amazon has set the date for this year's prime day. the event will be held june 21 and june 22, as it tries to get its big summer sales back on schedule. last year, it was pushed to october because of the pandemic. coming up, get ready to switch to a

take a listen. >> this is a d.c. case that d.c.ttorneys and our counsel work ed on for over a year. we engaged with amazon the best we could to establish a cooperative relationship together documents and analyze the case. at the end of the day, we felt like the case needed to be brought. emily: i asked the attorney general if he had heard from other state's attorneys general. it was the one question he did not want to get to, so he presumably heard from other states. do we know what states might be considering bringing action at this point? >> no, we have reported new york and california were collaborating with the federal trade commission, so there is definitely some collaboration is going on. what they would look at precisely is unclear. what i am hearing from folks involved in this that there is interest in amazon's algorithm on its marketplace, how amazon decides what you see when you enter certain search terms, and is that algorithm unfair, is it in the best interest of the consumer or amazon. emily: earlier this week, amazon

he is sued by charlotte in washington d.c. his reaction is fury.as her imprisoned in the deep-sea jail to try to slow down matters. i think some slaveholders in maryland i found evidence at the first to with of a freedom suit before it were filed intervened by selling the person to havana cuba. immediate reaction. which was a threat and a lesson to everyone around them. they also try to change the law and they did. just got what was the role of the interpretative is in translation the book? >> it's so hard to be up here and think about this it's a deeply community-based effort. there is a woman who partnered with me her name is ameena, it's a pseudonym she uses writing some other translation projects as well. i could not event any of this work not for ameena. translating that deep contextual. [inaudible] what this means. and so her fingerprints were all over the book. she herself is a translator. if such a joy i've known each other for more than a decade. in about six months after she arrived it was a real joy for me to it sit down with her in engl

that would give the residents of d.c.ed in the senate by maryland senators. so i think that is a good way for us to approach this issue. there also are constitutional issues to be dealt with. >> let me ask you, you're on senate intelligence committee. federal investigators to looking into the havana syndrome, attacks on the united states, mysterious attacks leading to ear popping, headaches and nausea and one national security official was sickened. you've been focusing on this on the committee and what could you tell us, and how concerned should americans be? >> i'm absolutely outraged that these attacks on our american personnel serving overseas, they started in havana or were first identified there. there is a mysterious direct energy weapon that is being used, and it is causing in some cases permanent traumatic brain injury. and yet the personnel involved, there have been other attacks around the world, have had a difficult time getting both the medical care and the financial help that they need from the cia. and that

the d.c. circuit judge of our second panel will feature three highly qualified district court nominees. julien neals judge zahid quraishi both nominated to the district court of new jersey and regina rodriguez nominative for the district of colorado. other senators will join us to join in introducing the nominees. before i turn over to them and to ranking member grassley i would like to make a few points about this historic day for the biden administration. looking at this late of nominees i am struck that they not only bring qualifications that are extraordinary to this next level of achievement, but also jet -- denim -- demographic and professional diversity. we needed on the federal bench. i'm reminded of what president lyndon johnson said when he nominated oregon marshall to the supreme court in 1967. mindful that he just sent up the nomination for the first african-american supreme court justice, president lyndon johnson said that marshall "had a distinguished record as private counsel an
