cash to the d.c. circuit. stop trying to jam us, work with us and confirm vacancies that we need to fill, which we have been doing. this has gone from being a threat to an annual threat, now to a quarterly threat. how many times have we been threatened by colleagues? do what i say or we will break the rules to change the rules. confirm everybody. 100%. anything less than that is obstructionism. that is what they are saying, to effect. let me say, we are not interested in having the gun put our head any longer. if you think this is in the best interest of the united states senate and the american people to make advise and consent mean nothing, obviously you can break the rules to change the rules to achieve that. but some of us have been around here long enough to know that the shoe is sometimes on the other foot. the strategy of distract, distract, distract is getting old. i don't think the american people are full about this. -- are fooled about this. if our colleagues want to work with us to fill vacancies l

the mayor came out with statements, d.c. police said there was hanging up flyers and don't bring your guns into d.c., it's illegal, but there was a breakdown. how did it stand in january of last year failed to provide adequate action for the scale of the attack on the u.s. capitol? >> it's a year later and i still don't know. i can speculate, but in my business, speculation isn't what we do. i will tell you that the house select committee is looking at that. i really can't speak any further as to what they are looking at, but i will tell you that, we are all concerned about how that breakdown occurred, especially when there was so much information and so much intelligence, and it was being shared freely. a year later we learned that there were meetings being head that we weren't aware of, that there were activities going on that we were necessarily a part of. but at the end of the day, it is the federal government's responsibility to protect that building. that is a beacon of our democracy, it's not just a building, it's the

you just held a call with d.c. area hospitals encouraging them to start their protocols for a mass casualty event. to stock up on materials and blood in the case of injuries on january 6. this is the beginning of the last 48 hours heading into the attack. you had these concerns, you expressed them locally. the public was not hearing this. the fbi did not come out with a similar warning. the department of homeland security did not issue a statement. did the lack of urgency by the other agencies make you doubt the online chatter? >> you are absolutely right, this time last year at this exact time, myself and my team were on a national call with the other fusion centers explaining to them the concerning signs that we were seeing online and asking them for their assistance in collecting any information that would be deemed as credible or specific so we can pass it on to our local and federal law enforcement partners for action. in terms of the public not hearing about the threat, i would point you to the statements tha

also on the outside of d.c. armed, prepared to go in if the president calls -- it's president trump strengthened to do what we must do or we wind up in a bloody fight. we know that. the fight's coming >> that was not, it appears, bravado. rhodes and the oath keeper really did, apparently plot and prepare and showed up ready for violence on the 6th according to prosecutors. the doerj laid out their case in the indictment yesterday. quote, on december 22nd, 2020, in an interview with a regional oath keepers leader rhodes stated if president-elect biden assumed the presidency we will have to do a massively bloody resolution against them. that's what's going to have to happen. he wrote on the oath keepers' website, tens of thousands of patriot americans, veterans and nonveterans will be in washington, d.c., and we will have our mission critical gear stowed nearby just outside d.c. rhodes stated that he and others may have to take to arms in defense of our god-given liberty. in january, rhodes began buying weapons, a

d.c.ipe bomb er. attorney general merrick garland is facing a lot of pressure from some democrats, vowed to keep following leads. >> the actions we have taken thus far will not be our last. the justice department remains committed to holding all january 6th perpetrators at any level accountable under law. >> this morning the country remains deeply divided, maybe even more so on over this day's significance. republicans are continuing to push the big lie despite the pictures, the images you have just seen. trump supporters still question what happened despite countless debunked conspiracy theories. >> in two hours, president biden and vice president harris will mark the first anniversary with a speech. they will be inside the capitol. the president will tell americans that it is donald trump who carries singular responsibility for the capitol assaults. >> right now we are reliving in a way how the january 6th attack unfolded in realtime that day live on cnn. and it begins as it should, with

to say you have to be on the d.c. circuit, did ruth bader ginsburg come from the d.c. circuit judge of i don't think so. ms. sotomayor: i just wanted to ask, do you think that childs' most recent nomination to the circuit court --i believe her hearing may be underway as soon as next week -- do you think that could be a consolidation in some ways, because she may not be picked to serve on the supreme court? rep. clyburn: i will let the white house do what they would like to do with this. i'm just making my feelings known. i suspect there are people in the white house that would feel differently than many people around the country. i'm letting my feelings be known, and the white house can do what they feel they need to do, and i will just react accordingly. ms. sotomayor: now i want to move on to voting rights. that, of course, is probably the second issue most important to you, if not the first one as you continue to look at these next months ahead during i remember last year -- ahead. i remember last year you want democrats that if the filibuster was not removed, you c

i think that you have to be on the d.c. circuit. ruth bader ginsburg comes from the d.c. circuit, i do not think so. >> do you think that the most recent nomination to the d.c. circuit court, her hearing may be underway as soon as next week over in the senate, could that be a consolidation in some ways because she may not be picked as this report nominee? >> now. . i am making my feelings known, i am sure that there are people in the white house who feels differently. i have let my feelings be known and the white house can do what they feel they need to do, i will react accordingly. >> want to move on to voting rights and that is the second issue, most important to you. the first one, as you look at the next months ahead, you actually warned democrats that if the filibuster was not removed, especially on voting rights, you could lose a lot of reliable black voters who have turned out over the last several elections, especially who came out for biden because of the thought that he and a democratic congress could deliver. i know that the latest polls have shown that within

>> we want president biden to be in d.c.aving those conversations with them instead of spending time here in atlanta. bottom line is he can be effective in washington, d.c. in georgia, we know how dire the situation is with voter suppression tactics or legislation being introduced in the georgia general assembly just yesterday. so things are dire. we need the president to lead and act in washington, d.c., and get the job done in the u.s. senate. we get the job done in georgia, and he needs to get the job done in d.c. >> isn't it possible that what he is doing is taking the bully pulpit outside of washington, d.c., because things are so intractable in the senate, and he's taking the bully pulpit to the people to try to raise awareness about how dire this situation is? what's wrong with that? >> i think it's important to draw attention to the dire situation. there's west virginia. there's also arizona. senator manchin and senator sinema are not on board with this proposal, so bottom line is, the president needs to work with se

sarah was a devoted member of the d.c. central kitchen board of directors for many years, and she served as chair of the board between 2013 and 2018. in this capacity, she continued her amazing work to end hunger and played a major role in secure funding to establish d.c. central kitchen's new location and expand its reach. sarah was under believably generous in her support of a cause that was dear to me, the walk across western massachusetts to end hunger and help the food bank of western massachusetts. she poured her energy in supporting local and national efforts to end hunger while also empowering the next generation of leaders in combating hunger through her work as a board chair of the campus kitchen project. sarah never stopped imagining a bigger and brighter future. she believed in harnessing the power of community to make america the best that we can be, promoting nutrition, supporting local farms and fighting to end hunger along the way. sarah approached her work in this life with an open heart and a genuine desi

and i think of how d.c.wser to attack on the front porch and she met the tear gas and helicopters with a paintbrush and i remember miami mayor francis suarez, he went on tv and fighting the coronavirus in his own body to speak to the nation of its seriousness. nearly every night i turn on my tv and social mead and see mayor interviewed on the crisis of the day. i must say we've given the nation the leadership it deserves. >> never has it been more important for us to pull together in league, these have been such trying times, but i have never been prouder of how you, the nation's mayors have stepped up to face our shared challenges head-on. this is not the time for shrinking or shallow leadership, instead, we must be bold, decisive, and truthful to the american public. what we're not out of the woods yet, it's clear that vaccines are working, america is back open for business, and there are better days ahead. one big reason for that is the fiscal assistance directed to states and cities, an accomplishment th

while d.c. is digging the country into a $29 trillion hole, idaho has a record surplus of $1.9 billion and counting. [applause] while d.c. continues to crank out onerous new regulations, we took an ax to yid regulations for three straight years and we continue to widen our lead as the least regulated state in the nation. in fact, since i took office three years ago we have cut or simplified 95% of idaho regulations. [applause] and now, through our zerobased regulation initiative, this year we aim to cut or simplify another 20% of what remains, removing the rocks from the shoes of small businesses. while d.c. wants to raise taxes on all citizens, as biden inflation surges, idaho has put more money back into people's pockets. last year, together, we cut taxes and returned $450 million to all idaho citizens and businesses. it was called the biggest tax cut in state history. but i call it a good start.

first, the east coast, new york, boston, down to d.c. and that whole area. it hit the west coast 10, 14 days, a little bit later. and so we've seen now the west coast getting hit, but now the west coast has peaked and it looks like at least here in the barrier and much of california are now starting a downslope. and about a week ago, we saw the same thing happening on the east coast with boston, new york, and d.c. now clearly on a downslope. on the other hand, we're seeing cases still rising in other parts of the united states. and we're going to see it spotty like this for another two to three weeks, i think. >> i think the disappointment there is that when people heard that it would, you know, go up very quickly and dramatically, that coming down, it would be kind of as dramatic. do you see that happening? >> well, it's going to come down, i hope, dramatically on the east coast, northeast, down to d.c. and then the west coast. we'll also see it come down dramatically in the south and the midwest, but later. so it's going to be, in terms of looking at the n

d.c. schools are already canceled. and off the roads because the snow is moving in. we've had a couple of lackluster winters in a row in the mid-atlantic. this will be the biggest storm in three years for the region. get ready. you look out the window. the snow has begun. philadelphia, wilmington, delaware, d.c., overnight, it snowed overnight. atlanta, you're all clear. most of the snow was just to your north. right now it's snowing pretty good around asheville up toward roanoke. as far as watches and warnings go, we have warnings from d.c. to richmond, roanoke, western virginia, in the mountains of north carolina, and a little bit around tennessee. also the southern half of new jersey is under a winter storm warning. that's really the key area. from philadelphia to new york city to harford, providence, boston, it's a little snow. heavy snow from d.c. to richmond. it's called thundersnow. the cut-off is philadelphia north ward for snow. you have to be southward. here we are at 11:00 a.m. this morning, the snow will be

d.c. jail, i will tell you i did not see, i did not see ray. i didn't see him in there wasting away for months on end, being denied his due process rights, being denied the ability to see his family, getting medical treatments, getting a haircut and shaved, i didn't see him. you know who else i didn't see? i didn't see a man named john sullivan -- who has participated in antifa, blm riots, and the whole entire movement but then all of a sudden decided to be a trump supporter on january 6. the same guy that was in the capitol and filmed a murder and then sold us videos -- his videos to media outlets. he's not in the jail under the warden. i think we have a lot of questions to ask and the people that should be answering the questions is our fbi and department of justice. with the u.s. capitol riot, there is over 725 arrests that i know of, and only one case has been dropped. for blm and nt for riots, there were over 16,000 240 arrests and over 90% of those cases have been dropped. what's the

the d.c. circuit judge is considered by many to be the highest court in the land, and may the most important. they deal with complex cases. republicans have blocked president obama's five nominees to the d.c. circuit judge, whereas democrats approved president bush's six nominations to this important court. today, the d.c. circuit judge has more than 25% vacancies. mr. president, i ask -- there is a conversation over here that is quite distracting. >> the senate will be in order. the senator has the right to be heard. >> mr. president, there is not a single legitimate objection to the qualification of any of these. a simple yes or no vote. republicans simply don't want president obama to make any appointments at all. none, zero. further, only 23 district court nominations have been filibustered in the entire history of our country, 23. 20 of them have been in the last four and a half years. 230 plus years. three in the last four and half years, 20. that is not fair. one out of every 10 federal

so the d.c. circuit said the basis for chevron deference here was resolving which super fluidity was worse is one for the agency. is that kind of statutory interpretation difficulty one that should trigger any kind of deference whether it be chevron or justice breyer was posing skidmore. it seems to me that might be an interpretive question. the classic problem with statutory interpretation that a court should resolve, that the apa says courts resolve as opposed to one that reflects some delegation to the agency. >> as i said i think there's a clear delegation of the agency here. i think that the court has many times deferred to hhs and interpreting medicare statutes. we also recognize in footnote 9 of chevron indicates they should apply all the tools of statutory construction and that requires looking at super fluidity questions. >> you would reject that statement of when chevron deference would be appropriate. >> not at all. >> i understand you have a reason for asking for chevron deference. i'

what i see a d.c. defunding the police in washington, d.c., number one. number two mayor bowser came out recently and said we have to hire more police officers in d.c. what is the d.c. city council do they say thumbs that we won't hire anymore police departments. these crimes are not being solved because there's not enough police officers on the streets to investigate these crimes. it is pathetic. david: we should mention that the d.c. solve the murder rate go way up in 2020 and went up from 2019 covid-19% and in 2020 when it went up from 2020 as well. we see this 114% increase in homicides. this is the city like many cities in the united states right now in crisis, even the mayor the mayor on the left of the political spectrum she wanted increase in police funding but the d.c. council is not doing it. it's very similar the new york and l.a. when the council and the very radical, we should mention prosecutors who don't want to prosecute anybody for violent crimes are going against the will of the peopl
