. >> it feels like a green zone in a war-torn country. >> and then politicians in common sense everyday americans have to use that in their lives. it's important that we do that. much more political than i thought it would be. >> and for president trump i know you voted against impeachment and was concerned of the due process but i get the sense that had there been due process it is possible if allowed would have voted to censor the president. >> republicans and democratsex with bipartisan measures at the time and there were sensor documents going around and they wouldn't allow that because with impeachment they rush the process in criminal justice reform is something i'm passionate about and what i'm working on today working on the criminal justice reform bill. but every person's constitutional right but if you have impeachment literally allow the for on the floor of the house with a one hour debate you don't open the investigation you don't have hearings with a special select committee and you don't have those investigations and hearings with the u.s. senate if you can eliminate due p

. >> there is no threat that justifies the and it looks like you are in the green zone in iraq and that'sever justified. the fact is this is a police action and they should be taken care of and no threats that we have classified briefings. this is not the purpose of the national guard, you want them all gone, okay, working in a bipartisan manner, they have said that they have a residual number of troops. but nobody can justify 5200 being around the capital. >> exactly, it is insane and it is a terrible signal to the world we are not worried about our capital. >> that was not bigger than me around washington dc. so this is an overreaction and posturing. >> because there was no defense. >> making a difference. we thank you so much for joining us today that the reagan institute. we look forward to welcoming you back in december of 2021. >> thank you. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> "washington journal", everyday we take your calls live on the air and discuss policy issues that impact you. coming up discussing the fate of america's national park and tram parks since the pandemic. and be sure it to join with your fa

steps of the capitol there as well, i mean, all along this, it really is somewhat of a fortified green zonehis heightened threat. >> so, that was my reporting two days ago on capitol hill. that was the day that homeland security and the fbi warned that violent extremists threatened to breach the capitol. the house canceled its session. in the end, the extremists never came. but security officials are warning the threat is far from over. i want to bring in nbc news investigator reporter, brandy, who's been following this for us quite closely. i think one of the major questions i have surrounding all this is really how long it's going to go on. how long will this threat really persist and it's a question that i posed on the air a couple days ago. because it really does seem to a certain extent like parts of washington, d.c., have become fortified green zones, really, especially surrounding the capitol, unlike anything we've ever seen in this country. >> yeah. i mean, you have to be careful, right, not to lose your head and overreact, but it's just a fact that there is a continued threat from

everything else in the green zone. that's good stuff. we'll show where you things are starting to slow am coming up. back to you. >> thank you, mike. we begin with developmentes in the deadly violence in the atlanta area. eight people are dead following shootings at three different massage parlors. many are believed to be women of asian dissent. >> a lone suspect believed to be involved in all of the violence is waking up behind bars this morning. we have a look at how local leaders are responding to this latest round of violence against the asian community. >> in atlanta, three massage parlors murder sites. one man suspected of killing eight people. >> pretty shocking for our responding deputies and public safety and for the community. >> reporter: authorities found and arrested 21-year-old robert aaron long about 150 miles south. the suspect in all three shootings. while there's no word on a motive, detectives say one aspect of their investigation is to determine if this is a racially motivated series of killings. it follows a rise in

within the green zone under the u.n. vent it and that stems to the back of trust between the fragile member states in the opposition groups and also and the federal governments i'm just a quick i know some of the politics is not very easy to digest but sort of give you a coles notes. somalia is a is a fragile state it has 5 member states in the federal government 2 of the states japan and put names have been sort of in disagreements throughout the last 3 years with about half of the current administration's tenure coupled with now the somaliland coalition with the. presidential aspirants of this year's election coming. together now to sort of form one voice to. to kind of show their dissent but also to send messages across the board. that things must change and the governments must hold fair and fair and actions in time to actually english past the time but it's never too late so now i want to play a play to voices to you one is the president's voice as we have a voice is the voice of opposition this is from early februa

we're paid a lot of money to -- >> it feels like a green zone in a war-torn country right now, and that's untenable, i think most poem if you're republican or democrats. you need to use a little bit of logic, whether it's parenting, going to school, et cetera. it's important that we do that. it lacks a lot of that up here and it's really political, much more political that inthought it would be, and that's been a little discouraging. >> yeah, yeah, sure, sure. on the impeachment vote, the second one for president trump, i know you voted against impeachment. you were concerned that was collisionally -- i get the sense that had there been due process, if allowed, you would voted to ken sure the president, is that rights? >> there. were some -- there were censure documents going order and frnl the problem with impeachment that we started is we weaponized it. we rushed the the proes. as a state market, the first bill i passed in congress was a criminal justice reform bill and it had to do with and we've got to protect is. when you have articles of impeachment and identify one-hour debate and

>> it feels like a green zone in a war-torn country. it's untenable. doesn't matter republican or democrat, you want politicians to use common sense and logic because everyday americans have do that in their lives, parenting, going to work or school, et cetera, and it's important to do that. a lot of things are political. much more political than i thought it would be and that's been a little discouraging. >> sure, sure. on the impeachment vote, the second one for president trump, i know you voted against impeachment, you were concerned over basically zero due process. but you also, i think, i got the sense that had there been due process, it's possible you would have, if allowed, would have voted to censure the president, is that right? >> there are republicans and democrats trying to find some bipartisan measures at the time and there were censure documents going around, going around and speaker pelosi wouldn't have any of it, and wouldn't allow it. and the problem with impeachment we recognized impeachment and rushed the process and criminal justice

it looks like the green zone in baghdad. they have to open the gate.s, armored vehicles and these really big concrete barricades. they have it set up because they are concerned about security. they are trying to make sure that the trial goes on without a hitch. the judge has been serious and honest making sure the jurors understand what they are up against and how long it might last. they have three jurors in one day. if they go through, they need 12 jurors and two alternates. today, 12 jurors and two alternates. >> thank you very much, sarah. i want to go to george floyd's brother and the floyd family attorney. let me start with you bep, the judge says that the jury cannot be told that chauvin was fired over his actions in george floyd's death. they can only know the dates of the employment and not know he was fired. the judge says that telling the jury that would cause them to view this with prejudice. is the judge right? i know it is important for the fact finders to decide the contact. i think they give more preference to police officer. i think th

what's sad about this is this is the united states capitol that looks a little bit like the green zone in baghdad. you've got national guard members who are here. they are dressed and ready to go. they are armed. you've got their trucks blocking the way in case somebody tries to ram through the fence. you've got thick fencing up, you've got barbed wire up, razor wire up, and this goes all the way around the capitol as well as if you look there, you will see barriers, concrete barriers. so this thing is a fortress right now, a place where people have naturally been able to go and see the capitol themselves, where lawmakers go in and out constantly. they have decided that they were not going to do the business of the people today because of potential violence that the capitol police said they had a credible threat. and here we are again. it is disturbing, but it is a reality now here in the united states. we have been listening to people who believe in qanon. there are enough people who believe that march 4 is supposed to be the real inauguration date because that was the inauguration da

i haven't seen anything like this since being in the green zone in baghdad, nothing like that. >> there's no intelligence that supports what's been happen -- happening of capital and it's more than ironic that the same people at this very moment say we need to take down the ball that's been built of our southern border because walls t work are said we need balls of the capital because they have t be there for safety. but there's no intelligence to support this been going on. is just a political narrative. >> when we see the fbi director raising the issue of something that horrible that nobody wants this country, white supremacy are any type of violence in the name of political believe, i keep wondering where we're all those fbi bulletins, everybody was getting tweets last summer during the burning of minneapolis and so many other cities but i don't recall seein one fbi tweet. have you seen this man? but we seem to get a barrage of them every day. bias or different treatment treatment? >> i think his sworn testimony under oath did today was that white supremacy groups were the biggest thre

i haven't seen anything like this since being in the green zone in baghdad. nothing like this. >> there is no intelligence that supports what's been happening on the capital. i think more than just a little bit ironic that the same people at this very moment say we need to take down the wall that has been built in our southern border because walls don't work, they are saying they did walls of the capital because they have to be there for safety. but there is no intelligence to support what is been going on there. it is just a political narrative. >> laura: john comeaux would receive the fbi director raising the issue of something that nobody wants in this country, we supremacy or any kind of violence in the name of political police. i keep wondering where were all those fbi bulletins. everybody's getting tweet blast last summer during the burning of minneapolis and so many other cities. i don't recall seeing one fbi tweet. have you seen this man? but we seem to get a barrage of them every day. why the different treatment? >> i think it's sworn testimony under

until then your visits to the capitol, we call it the capitol hill green zone because it looks like baghdad now. it's going to be a lot like renowned journalist -- said saying security was tighter than i have ever seen before, tighter than after 9/11 and tighter during presidential inaugurations. how long will the new heightened security posture would be the norm? it will be like 9/11, he remarked. we'll get used to it. oh, no. no, no, no. let's be candid. all of the security, all of the fences, all the razor wire, fact that biden does not hold press conferences, it's all the result of the fact that we have a press corps that's no longer interested in asking real questions. holding democrats accountable. look, when we were kids, in the years after watergate the press would have gone nuts. if the feds just started closing down entire parts of washington, citing these nonspecific threats but now they just nod and say, essentially, isn't this wonderful? in the long run, all these lockdowns, all the razor wire, all the troops in d.c., will simply make the federal government more out of touch an

it looks like you're in a green zone in iraq around the capital and it never was justified. fact this is the police action the capitol police and the d.c. police should be taking care of any concerns that they got but there is no threats we've gotten briefings and justify the truth. i've always been bothered by them being there because is not the purpose of the national guard it is a police matter i want them all gone and i'm okay and working in a bipartisan matter with the chairman to have some residual group there but even the commission with speaker pelosi has said that the fencing should be gone in the troops drawn out they want re-visual number of troops, but nobody can justify 5200 guardsmen being around the capital tote in their weapons. >> that'll happen and iraq in afghanistan. >> is send a terrible signal to the world that were worried about our capital. >> were not worried about her capital the one right was not a than any other protest we have every year around washington, d.c. this is an overreaction and i think it's political posturing by the democrat leadershi

i mean, all along this, it really is somewhat of a fortified green zone because of this heightened threat for this day on march 4th. it's incredibly credible thread. think about the idea of the chief of the capitol police say just in the last two months there's been an increase of 90% in threats against mobs of congress. think about that number. 90% increase, and fbi director wray saying this didn't begin on january 6th, and it did not end. they didn't want to be caught flat-footed if something did happen. the over-arching view is this -- i've reported a lot overseas, and the fortified zones, this is where we are now, here in this country, in the united states of america, i am in front of the capitol on the east side looking at a fortified green zone. when you talk about the defense department sitting on the request from the capitol for national guard to be in place for months to come possibly, the question really is how long is this going to be in place? how long do americans in general and do members of congress have to deal with the security threat that persists throughout this country

no amount of money will fix that but it looks like the green zone in baghdad when they're trying to roote are major problems and our generals are kowtowing to this rather than showing leadership. this is not money, just a major problem from top to bottom with our entire military. >> bret: quickly, the linkage between china and russia now is like the legion of doom in the u.s. looks at that. >> the two big authoritarian powers are allied together and that makes sense but it's not just defense policies, you're going to hear joe biden sell his build back better package as in outcompete china measure and i think is going to find some support for that. >> bret: we will follow that. when we come back, tomorrow's headlines so you want to make the best burger ever? then make it! that means cooking day and night until you get...

there were a few rocket attacks on the green zone by some of the shiite militias in iraq, but it reallydidn't about to a hill of beans. two a degree that's true that i don't know how much of that is attributable to the want to get biden a break. i'm not sure they do. maybe they do but they certainly are distracted by this covid thing. >> the point is that it's not so much that it favors biden that it's a different way of thinking about how you deal with the different kind of president. >> everybody's going to be testing. people are holding their breath. i was talking to diplomat said a, yesterday in france, and they are just beside themselves. they have no idea what's going to happen now because not only do they have no idea what's going to happen but they like the people, they love tony blinken, they like jake sullivan, not really sure yet about the defense secretary designee, but i think it would like to see michele flournoy, but that's a whole nother story for a french magazine. i think that everybody is really tense, waiting to see what happens and waiting to see what everybody else
