hakeem, what is the danger to everyone including the russians with this?what they did, they created thousands of bullets in low earth orbit that can hit debris that can hit other debris, create even more space junk, or hit satellites that have, you know, critical function or actually have people on them like the international space station. one thing, they don't have astronauts. they have cosmonauts. >> that's right. thank you for the correction. >> cosmonauts are people too. >> cosmonauts are people too. >> they don't care about them very much apparently. >> this is what stood out to me. 1500 trackable pieces and hundreds of thousands of smaller. what type of things will you now be navigating when it comes to space travel? >> well, what we really are concerned about is our assets in space. so they track these pieces of debris, and you get alarms if something is headed in your direction, so you can take cover, right. most of these -- one thing we learned in school very early is that an object at rest or in motion remains at rest or in motion unless acted o

leading off our discussion tonight is democratic congressman hakeem jeffries of new york. he is the chairman of the house democratic caucus and he is taking a break from listening to the endless comments of kevin mccarthy. congressman, i was afraid we might not be able to get you, but i think kevin mccarthy has given you the opportunity to spend some time for w with us, and we are grateful for that, what is the schedule tonight when kevin mccarthy finally stops talking. >> it's our expectation that the debate will conclude shortly as soon as the rambling wreck of a speech that kevin mccarthy is delivering, he's certainly no winston churchill or john f. kennedy, as soon as he concludes the tirade, which is in defense of the tax cheats, well off and well connected, i expect that we'll hear from our speaker, nancy pelosi, to close out the debate, and then we will proceed to vote. this is a great week for the american people. a great week for the economy. and a great week for joe biden and the democratic build back better agenda. we started the week by president biden signing

what about just recently, hakeem jeffries, putting a tweet out, trying to influence a trial that the country is watching today. not worried about the due process. were theyup set by that at all? i don't know. what about the democrats who are so upset with -- they want to have a high standard, their own speaker of the house broke the rules on the floor, had her words taken down, did she stand there? no, she left. those democrats who were so worried waited hours before anybody would get into the chair to read because it went against the speaker. but did the speaker live by the rules of the house that everybody else is supposed to, that high standard? no, she made every single one of those members take a different vote and treat her differently. so yes, we hold our members to a high standard. it's interesting to me how the democrats want rules for thee but not for me. that's not right. we'll change that when we're in the majority. yes. reporter: leader mccarthy, have you or any members of your conference been contacted by telecommunication companies for your phone records or messages in

thank you, congressman hakeem jeffreys. >>> by now, you have all haebd about the comments made by one of the defense attorneys given gogh during the ahmaud aubrey murder trial. listen. just like all of you, i was taken aback when i heard his words as i said in a statement this week, my presence was at the invitation of the aubrey family, asking the judge to bar me or any minnister for that matter of the family's choice undisclosed the disregard for the value of human life that was lost and the greebing of a family in need of spiritual and community support. with me now civil rights attorney i call him the attorney general of black america benjamin crump and marcus aubrey, ahmed aubrey's father. let me go to you first, attorney crump. i want to start with you and have you weigh in here on the madness that occurred this week after hearing and seeing what i can only describe as a side show to the trial at the hand of the defense attorney, his mention of me into the courtroom completely off road from the task at hand, which is to seek justice for ahmed. have you ever heard of such a ridic

hakeem jeffries, you will be at fault. all of you in the media mob, it will be your fault, and everyone and anyone that rushed to judgment, as per usual, the same cast of characters, those of you that created an expectation among the public based on a set of lies with zero evidence, zero due process, zero presumption of innocence, this is why we have these things. the rule of law is so critically important, and of course the left doesn't care about any of this. it's just yet another reminder why most democrats, most members of the media mob, you cannot trust them, and most people don't trust them. president reagan once famously said if fascism ever comes to america, it will come in the thname of liberalism. here with more, the author of the case for a vaccine mandate, harvard professor, alan dershowitz along with fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. greg, i thought it was an atrocious trial start to finish as it relates to the prosecution. they did not meet the high standard that they needed beyond a reasonable doubt. i w

i worked with hakeem jeffries on that piece of legislation. so far on the first 11 months in office, i have helped passed three pieces of legislation. i worked with democrats on these bills. it is really important that when we have so much division, when labels are being thrown out like that, that we work even harder to have a more polite, lower temperature conversation where we can talk and communication and work together. we are not going to agree on everything. it might be 5% of things, it might be 25% of the things. where we can work together, we should work together for the american people and that is where my focus is today. because i represent an area that is -- civil rights is a big issue for my community and the district i represent. i am now the ranking member on the oversight committee for the subcommittee on civil rights and civil liberties. congressman raskin is the chairman representing the majority and i represent the minority on that particular subcommittee. work is being done, but we cannot work together when we are fighting a

the single most likely is hakeem jeffries, chair of the democratic caucus in the house. very articulate, savvy and persuasive member of the house from new york. african-american man. given where we are for democrats not only will it be a difficult set of shoes to fill but it is going to be a question with minorities and women on the rise as powers in the democratic party -- whether moving from a woman to a man will go over well. there are plenty of other contenders. we have a lot of young and attractive members of the house on the democratic side but you can be attractive and effective as a legislator and not be leadership material. my guess is we are going to see a sizable change in the leadership ladder of the top three leaders. all in their 80's but more than likely it will be hakeem jeffries. karlyn: thank you very much. i wonder if each of you have questions for the others on the panel and then we will turn to audience questions. don't be silent. we will turn to audience questions. the first is from a good friend of the program for many years, president of northstar

bill: with the argument we heard repeatedly, hakeem jeffries has said this.n't envision any of these programs being short-lived. this would be something that we can put into place settings on a permanent trajectory. you wonder where that trajectory goes. here's the argument from the republican leader in the house. >> there will not be a c.b.o. score until thanksgiving. one clue we have, the budget model states that the true cost, the 4 trillion that's twice as high as democrats advertised for even four times because the president said it cost nothing. bill: how do you justify that amount? >> i think the leader is wrong as usual. the bill he's talking about is the republicans continue to describe in its continuous misinformation are bill cost 1.75, 1.9 is been amended and what we raise in terms of revenue is 2.2 trillion. were paying for every penny in this bill, we will cut taxes for working families. if you talk about the child tax credit with overwhelming majority of families have children. we will do it by asking corporations and the wealthy to pay a littl

my question to you, hakeem, how long before we can all go there?have a way, you definitely have a ticket. >> thank you. >> now, how far we are from that day i do not know. i cannot answer that question, and i don't think anyone else can either. i think that what's happening here is pretty strategic, right? if you're going to make space travel something that everybody is going to do, people are going to need to be able to trust it. they're going to need to know that it's safe. i think what jeff bezos and blue origin are doing is very great marketing here, right? because michael strahan is on board, we're going to be paying attention. because we had good old captain kirk william shatner go up, we paid attention. because we had wally funk, we paid attention. as long as they are happening and they're happening more often, then that does bring the price down. that's what we've seen with spacex and blue origin is that with their reusable booster rockets, they've brought the cost of access to space very much lower, and what they're doing is creating a new

as congressman hakeem jeffries put it, he thought build back better was going to address things like child care, that are major cost-drivers for americans. the question is really, are americans going to credit democrats for bringing those prices down? i mean, we saw after the recovery act, after the housing crisis, a sign was put up around the projects saying it was funded by the recovery act. democrats still lost the house. >> joe, jump in. >> i was just going to say, david ignatius, you know, we remember the '70s. i didn't think mika did until i started talking about my dad just complaining every time he would go. over the course of four years, gas would go from 33 cents a gallon to $1 a gallon. we were shocked. >> crazy. >> i was telling mika the story to say that people these days do not understand, these politicians, most of them do not remember the hell of inflation throughout the end of the '70s. it cost jimmy carter the presidency. people talk about the iranian hostage crisis. also, 21% interest rates, not good. mika recounted to me how she remembered going up and down old do

. >> bill: there's another democrat, hakeem jeffries, who said that spirit "we do not envision any of these programs being short-lived. this would be something we put into play setting us on a permanent trajectory." you wonder where the trajectory goes and ears the argument from the republican leader in the house. >> it will not be a cbo score until thanksgiving. uncle we have for the price tag comes from wharton school. it states that the true cost of democrats bill is $4 trillion and that is four times as high because of residence as it's cost nothing. >> bill: how to justify that amount? >> cedric: i think the leader is wrong, as a usual. the bill that he's talking about is the bill that republicans continue to describe which is continuing t disinformation. what would remus in terms of revenue is around $2.1 trillion. going to cut taxes for the working family. if you talk with the child tax credit with the overwhelming majority of families who have children will get a tax cut, that's important. we are going to do that by asking corporations and the wealthy to pay a little bit more.
