to begin negotiating a new version of the reform with their political parties not only in its correlation but in congress in general because the current reform the one that sparked these protests that has been matched with wide spread opposition including inside the party of president. but this by these victories and part of the protesters demonstrations have continued in the country has lived through another very tense night particularly once again and colombia's 3rd largest city kollywood there were a number of clashes between protesters and the police and where unfortunately another 2 protesters have been killed or have been shot to doing these protests during the night 6 days into these protests is still clear exactly how many people have died doing the protests there are different numbers 9 people have been confirmed so far 8 protesters and one policeman i'm part of the but human rights organizations say they're investigating more deaths so a very volatile situation that will most likely continue this by the withdrawal of the reform. thank you. one of the most powerful rebel groups the independent says it has

add the fact that in the first midterm election after a new president, the other party generally picks up seats in congress. now, you know, there are historical exceptions to that. george bush after 9/11 in his first midterm, he -- the republican party gained seats. and joe biden and the democrats have to try to make this, you know, the post-pandemic midterm like the post-9/11 midterm and try to gain seats. they're fighting history. this is serious, because as you said, then what? what if this, this republican party, this shell of a party actually -- actually obtains any measure of power right now. it would be awful to the country, just objectively awful for the country. >> it's hard for me to imagine what that even looks like, michael, but can you discern as a republican, what is it that they would want to do if they got power? because all they seem to want to do right now is fall on their knees and worship donald trump. so let's say they get power. what is it that they want to do? what are they going to do to us? >> light it up as much as possible. you know, most people say light it up. no, they just lig

from president biden and secretary blinken, general austin and leaders of both parties you would hardly know palestinians existed at all. >> many members of congressallen back on a blanket statement defending israel's air strikes against civilians under the guise of self-defense. >> the president and many other figures stated that israel has a right to self-defense. do palestinians have a right to survive? >> shannon: let's bring in republican senator from tennessee, marsha blackburn. senator, welcome back. >> good to be with you, shannon. i will tell you those statements are things that ought not to be said on the floor of the u.s. house. israel is one of our nation's longest and closest allies. israel does have a right to self-defense. they are being attacked by hamas. hamas is being funded by iran. hezbollah has also joined in attacking israel. should israel defend themselves, yes. i am grateful that we have the iron dome in place. of course we have helped israel with that defense. the iron dome is what they are using to protect themselves. they have had over 1500 strikes that have been coming into them. the number has increased. the president

from president biden, secretary blinken, general austin and leaders of both parties, you'd hardly know palestinians existed at all. >> many members of congresse instead fallen back on a blanket statement defending israel's airstrikes against civilians under the guise of self-defense. >> the president and many other figures this week with stated that israel has a right to self-defense, but do palestinians have a right to survive? arthel: joining me now is bob cusack, editor in chief of "the hill." bob, for the biden administration, is deciding how to insert in this crisis like tiptoeing through a field of land mines? >> it really is, arthel. obviously, this conflict goes back many, many decades, and there's going to be no peace plan anytime soon. it's just a question of whether, when hopefully a ceasefire happens. but this is a political problem for the president because it used to be many, not all, but most, overwhelming majority nor congress would support israel. now it's becoming more of a litmus test on the left as far as support for palestinians. and you heard a lot of those voices including aoc and others. this is really dividing the de

it applies to how congress and the republican party just caved in the face of donald trump. it applies to the generallyook toward trump and trumpism. it applies to the university of north carolina where we just saw the journalist nicole hannah jones be denied tenure despite being qualified for a position all due to political pressure. and the deference to the desires of kind of demagogic crowd. and so, yeah, that's one of the things that's been really shocking and surprising to me that institutions that are the cornerstone of our democracy are so easily rolled in moments like this. >> errin, we pride ourselves on this show on having very, very smart people. nicole hannah jones is a frequent guest on this show. i've been pretty clear with my viewers that my goal is not to have people who agree with them or agree with me or agree with anybody. it is to have smart people present interesting theses for us to think about. that's what nikole hannah-jones and the 1619 project did. a university, on one hand, which is supposed to be about speech and a journalism program at a university on the other hand, seemed

whether or not members of congress are actually parties didn't -- participants who aided embedded this insurrection. if there are staffing gauges in this, the people behind the generalion will simply try again. they can't get their hands on mike pence, but can on and see pelosi. that's why this is so dangerous. i don't think the democratic party is taking it seriously enough. we know republicans are complicit. >> gentlemen, please don't move. we are gonna sneak in a break. our conversation continues on the other side, with this. the president was hoping to sign a police reform measure by the anniversary of george floyd 's death. that's five days from now. turns out congress had other plans. other plans. this academic year has been, um, challenging. but i think there's so much success to celebrate. woman: it's been a year like no other. man: yet, for educators across california, the care, compassion, and teaching has never stopped. woman: addressing their unique needs... man: ...and providing a safe learning environment students could count on. woman: join us in honoring the work of educators. together, we will build a better california for all of us. every time we a

congress for quite some time have very strong ties to israel. i am generalizing, but i do think there's a real rift right now within the party, which complicates therts to get some other things done. alix: what things in particular? i can't imagine a progressive democrat is going to hold the infra structure bill hostage for what is happening in israel and gaza, but am i mistaken? greg: no. i do think, though, it is going to occupy a lot of time. this is a very delicate situation. it is probably going to take at least a week to iron out any kind of truce, and this is going to take away from biden's move to get something of an on infrastructure. alix: where does that leave infrastructure? does that mean he has less ability to negotiate with republicans that are going to come to the market with their own infrastructure plan, or is it with his own party? greg: i think it is his own party. we already knew that biden had issues with the west virginia senator joe manchin, and maybe a couple of other democrats, so it is a fractional coalition he's got to keep together because i think you are going to have overwhelming opposition from republicans. alix: so

generally, act better than this. it is absolutely embarrassing to watch. and that, this is a political party that doesn't do anything about this woman's behavior. where she is now, full on, harassing another member of congressnothing about it. it, absolutely, violates at least the understanding of decorum in congress, that once existed. and yet, the person who's getting disciplined through all of this is liz cheney. so, it's -- it's the contrast that really -- it's the contrast, for me, i think. it's -- it's that this -- this woman is allowed to do, pretty much, anything that she wants. and liz cheney, who is, you know, not my cup of tea, necessarily. but she is a conservative-republican, who at least acts like a grownup and has some values. and they want nothing to do with her and they won't do anything about this woman. >> you know, it's -- it's like, mark, an unhinged, immature, internet troll. >> yeah. >> roaming the halls of congress. it -- it's like, if -- if parlor w parler was a person. >> exactly, don. what strikes me about marjorie taylor laser beams behavior and so many other trump republicans and it's really become more about a brand and a lifestyle than policy or ideas or ideology. i just want

congress to overturn the o.c.c.'s harmful true lender rule. that support includes credit unions, state bank regulators, republicans and democrats alike, state attorneys general of both parties, one of the most outspoken has been the republican attorney general of nebraska because his state passed -- his state's voters passed a limit, 75% of them, to keep interest rates down. support from small business groups, support from the military officers association of america. we know that payday lenders especially prey on young members of the military. one of them may be off in a foreign country while the spouse stays back at the base or stays back in a community, particularly -- is struggling with just having the resources to get by. they're preyed upon so often. another group, the national association of evangelicals, the southern baptist convention, other members of the faith in just lending coalition. that coalition wrote to congress. quo, predatory payday and auto title lenders are notorious for exploiting loopholes in order to offer debt trap loans to families struggling to make ends meet. the o.c.c.'s true lender rule creates a loophole big enough to drive a truck through. t

general who oversaw a review of his own. also in the programme... the rhetoric is inflammatory, the accountability, is harder to find. how the antics of one freshman republican in congress have upended the party $1.9 billion to beef up security — a large part of it to repay agencies for the work they�*ve already done. but $950 million would be spent specically on improving security in the capital of that $200 million would go on a quick reaction force $21.5 million on members�* security, and $18 million on strengthening the capitol police force. we can speak to now to the author of the report, lieutenant general honore. it's it�*s good to have you on the programme, sir. do we really need a january 6th commission? after everything we�*ve heard from the impeachment trial and your report, is there anything else to learn? after the highlights from a report we did, _ after the highlights from a report we did, which was focused on what we need to— we did, which was focused on what we need to fix— we did, which was focused on what we need to fix in— we did, which was focused on what we need to fix in terms of logistics, security, — need to fix in terms of logistics, security, command—and—controland

congress gave the west los angeles v.a. campus the authority to carry out leases with third parties. these leases have the potential to create revenue for the v.a. however, the funds generated by these leases could only be used for renovation and maintenance. this bill would change that. it would require that any land use revenues received by the v.a. from a third party by considered as read -- party be credited to the medical facility's account. the funding in these accounts would be used to meet existing needs, and new services for homeless veterans. revenues would now be available for the medical center to provide emergency shelter and supportive housing services for homeless or at-risk veterans and their families. these funds would be available without fiscal year limitations and further appropriations t makes sense that the medical centers receiving these funds and can use them to improve its campus and help homeless veterans. i also want to thank congressman brownley for her amendment at the markup which eliminated the mandatory score for this bill. i am pleased to support h.r. 711 as amended. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the ge
