the d.c. police held the line, keeping them from getting injured. that being said, they all wanted to know what needed to be done to harden the capitol, training or equipment the capitol police needed. that is what we did over that six week. -- over that six week period. host: in that report is available at c-span.org. the key recommendations that came out of your task force include increasing or having available mobile fencing, streamlining the decision-making to avoid delays in crisis, to create a mounted police unit at the capitol and asking the national guard to backup capitol police when requested to respond to these types of emergencies and higher hundreds more capitol police officers to fill in the personnel shortfalls. in terms of decision-making, let me focus on that. where were the shortfalls in decision-making on january 6? guest: the significant piece was the assessment. that is where most of the police force operate, threat assessment. that was severely flawed, as we have all seen

host: can you describe the red road to d.c.? guest: the red road to d.c. began on the west coast and traveled across the country raising awareness that we must all, not just native americans, but all across the country protect sacred sites. it was a call to action and unify the country and raise awareness about the state of emergency regarding our sacred sites and the environment. host: we showed the total pole that has been traveling across the united states in a washington, d.c. can you talk a little but -- a little bit about the pole and what it symbolizes with the issues you are concerned about? guest: with respect to the pole itself, it is a product of the vision of an elder who is a master carver and founder of the house of tears. he carved a number of total polls during various points in time, one for 911, and this one to draw attention to sacred sites in the environmental crises we are facing in the pacific northwest. back in 2019, and orca carried her dead calf for 17 days in the sea. we have all of these signs from nature, hurricanes, magnifiers,

any shame of that operation lies here in d.c. with the suits not with the boots who allowed this to happen. yet what are we hearing? rhetoric. white house communications director jen sake says it's irresponsible -- psaki says it's irresponsible to be talking about americans stranded in afghanistan. so we see the word stranded on the front page of the newspaper. we see the words hostage. we see the words all sorts of things showing what a debacle this has been. so what do we get from the white house? we are not getting transparency as promised by the biden administration. s unless you want to define transparency as invisible. which they have been. we have got to do much better. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. lamalfa: get our people out of the country and all the material left behind in the hands of our enemies. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee seek recognition? >> address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remar

the d.c. the line, keeping them from getting injured. that being said, they all wanted to know what needed to be done to harden the capitol, training or equipment the capitol police needed. that is what we did over that six week. -- over that six week period. host: in that report is available at c-span.org. the key recommendations that came out of your task force include increasing or having available mobile fencing, streamlining the decision-making to avoid delays in crisis, to create a mounted police unit at the capitol and asking the national guard to backup capitol police when requested to respond to these types of emergencies and higher hundreds more capitol police officers to fill in the personnel shortfalls. in terms of decision-making, let me focus on that. where were the shortfalls in decision-making on january 6? guest: the significant piece was the assessment. that is where most of the police force operate, threat assessment. that was severely flawed, as we have all seen. the fbi di

so this is the first congress calling washington, d.c., home. so josius king writes about it being the first capitol. we have the pleasantest room in the house or indeed the whole city. it is the third story commanding a delightful prospect of the capitol of the president's house, georgetown and all of the houses of the city along the river and the city of alexandria. and you can imagine how beautiful that must have been. i am exceedingly happy with mr. reed, and for one to have lived in the same chamber with me, and for all things considered, i must have chosen mr. reed. i am not much pleased with the capitol. it is a huge pile built indeed with handsome stone and heavy in the appearance and not very pleasant within. if they were literally looking outside of their window to the capitol, this is what they would be seeing, the senate north chamber on the right side, and the left, that odd structure is called the oven. some of you might have seen images of it before. none of them would have been contemporary, and this is all reconstructed images,
