montgomery county was formed february 12, 1821, and named in honor of revolutionary war general richard montgomery. montgomery county has a rich history, including being a friend to illinois's favorite son, abraham lincoln, and providing an historic stretch of historic route 66. montgomery county continues to be a vibrant community that supports family, sports, fine arts, churches, and numerous organizations for more than 30,000 residents that make up 20 municipalities. i'm proud to represent montgomery county and the many people who make it a wonderful place to live. congratulations to everyone in the county on celebrating their bicentennial. mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize david a. northern sr. for his leadership and service to the people of champaign county, illinois. i've had the privilege to work with david through his role as chief executive officer of the housing authority of champaign county, an organization which provides housing and related services to the most vulnerable populations in our community. he oversaw various programs that provided housing opportunities and a

and with others in their community, they built one of nine all-black towns in montgomery county in the late 1870s and 1880s. it was a mark of their independence. and it mirrored towns across the country. this building was still in use as a family home although highly renovated well into the 20th century. and the family that still owned the home once it was being abandoned decided to donate it to this museum after researchers had found this in what is now poolsville, maryland, our researchers went up, examined the building. we had to take off the siding and the interior of whiteboard to see what the logs underneath look like. we contracted with a buildings conservator, dismantled the building log by log, restored the parts of it that we could restore, replaced a few parts. and then rebuilt it here in the museum again log by log for this display. there are actually hundreds of ex-cabins that were inhabited by enslaved individuals that have been reused decade after decade. the slave cabin that we saw earlier in the tour in our slavery and freedom exhibition was occupied until the 1980s. m

in our area and montgomery county probably many other counties that are experiencing similar problems not want to buck teachers union and they have leaders that are developing policies that are based on -- you know, fear and anxiety over fact. they do not have our children's best interest at heart if they did they would be fighting alongside us to reopen our schools. and sadly, they're not so the parents and a lot of these counties such as mine are the parents are left to fight this battle on their own. >> this is very challenging and it is spring mow, and there are concerns already raised about the fall so we'll see what happens in the coming months. marjorie thank you so much for sharing your story i know there are a lot of other parents out there that feel the same sort of frustration so we appreciate you share a little bit of your voice with us today. marjorie, thank you. >> thanks for having me. griff: other news -- i jumped again there i apologize. all right fda excited to authorize a third covid-19 vaccine as soon as today. this after a panel recommends approval of the johnson

so today many communities like even you know in my own community in montgomery county, maryland has experienced an uptick in hate speech targeting us citizens that don't look the same as them. asian americans have been blamed for the coronavirus pandemic even though they are neither chinese. nor have even been to china so hurtful comments that you know, you were seem to be suppressed over the last 10 years have come back into the forefront and these are things like, you know, go back to where you came from or people will say to me. well you speak english so well and or even make the statement that you people meaning people like me are taking jobs away from americans as though i were not an american and this coupled with actual acts of violence that have also been reported so for many minority communities including first or native americans none of this is new but asians were long touted as the quote model minority and we're somewhat shielded and part of this is because of course low visibility and small numbers as we all asians combine still constitute only about 4.5 percent of the american pop

of water i watched bruce castor i've known bruce for 20 years he was a district attorney in montgomery county where i live now. it doesn't make sense that we would be impeaching or trying somebody who's been impeached once they left office the primary purpose of the impeachment provision is to get somebody out of office so they can no longer do harm and obviously president former obviously donald trump is the former president and it doesn't seem like to be a good use of the time of the house of the senate to be doing this and it's only leading to more division in our country. and if the smart money is to be believed that it will be a conviction is good after that's what's going to happen to donald trump in the medium $10.00 is he going to be able to go off and play golf into the sunset get another reality show on cable t.v. all something go well that day what his critics will coal a witch hunt that they'll be legal moves off to him regardless of what happens in the senate. well i don't think he ever stop playing golf number one it is certainly played a lot of golf when he was in office. 2 i d

covid tyrants, 87% of public school kids in his district which included much of frederick and montgomery county counties are still stuck with remote learning for devastating consequences, for some groups of students, the failure rate is five and six times higher than it was last year. i may be missed it but i haven't seen congressman raskin speak about this insanity at all. has he lambasted the brutalization of children's learning by the craven teachers union? of course not. the real raskin is like a lot of his democrats, a rapid partisan, he's abusing the impeachment process to bar trump from the process that she's adam schiff but with better hair. that's the angle. joining me now is congressman steve scalise. you know the consequences of leftist smears, they have been leveling insane accusations against the president for years and now they turn around and bash trump's rhetoric as incendiary and even dangerous? >> when you look at all of the different things that were said by democrats through the summer of love as they called it, mostly peaceful protest where cities were getting burned down,

castro jr., a former district attorney in montgomery county, pennsylvania. this announcement this evening comes notably just one day after all five members of president trump's legal team walked out, leaving his legal defense team over disagreements over the legal path forward. cnn reporting that former president trump wanted the central point of their defense to really revolve around the argument that he's been making, the wrong argument, that there was mass election fraud, and that the election was stolen rather than really focusing their arguments about the legality of convicting a former president after he has left office. so that is certainly significant tonight, and the big question, of course, is what path forward will this new legal team bring to their defense when they argue in front of the senate impeachment trial? will they, of course, go along with what president trump and what he wanted from his former team? that, of course, a big question. and pam, time certainly is short. the wheels on capitol hill will already start moving this upcoming week.

. >> when he went to montgomery county jail, i called a supervisor. got an individual there, john meehan, and he's gonna try to con you out of drugs." he says, "he already has. he claimed he fell out of the top bunk and he got pain medication." >> reporter: you're dealing with an incorrigible person here. >> yes, sir. you're dealing with an addict. a very smart, articulate addict. >> reporter: eventually, thanks to luken, john did jail time for stealing drugs in ohio and michigan. and tonia felt guilty. wondering if she'd missed warning signs. wondered what else john might have hidden from her. never thought about the clue. way back at the beginning. on her wedding video. >> and the groomsmen who'd had some drinks and have their arms around each other, and they're talking about how they met him. >> we're here to celebrate john. >> one of the groomsmen said -- >> john meehan's nickname is filthy john meehan. >> reporter: filthy john, over the years, became dirty john and the nickname stuck. >> reporter: you found out later on, there was a story to that

maryland, montgomery county schools, maryland, will start phased in learning starting march 1st. the private schools are in person. cdc guide lines will be released. they will focus on the on the science. the cdc director says kids can go back in person safely. teachers do not need to be vaccinated for that happening. we're seeing a little divide with the white house. yesterday the press secretary said the president wants kids in person one day a week by april 30th. today she said exactly that is what the president meant on campaign trail open schools within the first 100 days. >> again the president made, set a goal of reopening majority of schools within within 100 days. when you asked what that meant, i answered the question. that is not the ceiling. that is the bar we're trying to leap over and exceed. reporter: that may not be what voters thought he meant when he said open schools in the first 100 days. still some republicans are concerned that this is putting undue pressure on women. >> women are the primary caregivers in most cases which means while schools aren't open the

the district attorney for montgomery county, pennsylvania when he declined to prosecute bill cosby forwhat are you going to be watching from these two? >> i'm going to be watching while they were chosen with no real impeachment background, no real notion of free speech and first amendment cases because that is going to be the crux of the issue for them. if they're just there to put up smoke screens and stop somebody who is a celebritiesque person from getting prosecuted we know at least one turned to the civil side and said that came back to haunt that particular person castor. not only did he lose an election but it led to the deposition testimony being used against the person he seemingly was trying to protect. you have all these notions about why these people were chosen. it seems as though they were chosen for the purpose of being the compromising legal team that would present a big lie and then a procedural off ramp for the juror members, the republican members of the senate. then he has potentially the dream team. if he wants somebody to have a substantive defense, to an extraord

and bruce castor, a former montgomery county district attorney, someone who was an acting attorney general in the commonwealth of pennsylvania and who happened to be the prosecutor who declined prosecuted bill cosby back in 2005. you say both of these attorneys, though they have vast legal experience, are strangers in a strange land now. what do you mean? >> they're strangers in a strange land, because this is a trial that will be unlike any other they've been in. it's called a trial. but a senate impeachment proceeding has different rules of evidence that what they're used to, of course, the jury, who they have to convince is not 6 or 12 individual who is they helped to pick through the jury selection process, it's 100 senators. each of whom is known to be an independent spirit and so the whole dynamic is different. plus, this is, if they stick to their best case, a constitutional law argument, which is not the sort of litigation that they're used to doing. >> they have a day at this point, to respond to the articles of impeachment. i mean, they're being put into a tough time crunch, too.

now this school here in montgomery county, maryland, have not seen teachers or kids in person all year're starting a phased approach, starting march 1st to get kids back into the classrooms. in d.c. the public schools last week started to bring in. private schools in both of these areas are in-person learning mostly. now d.c. again bringing students back last week. 15,000 spots opened up. the school system has 52,000 students in the system. only 10,000 students actually showed up. there are problems that the biden administration faces here. one, they're having to satisfy the teachers union that supported the president. two, getting kids actually safely into the classroom for learning. three, change the mind set that candidate biden set up going to school could cause a massive spread of the coronavirus. >> everyone wants the kids back in school. the science says the kids should go back in school. everything says we should do that. everyone wants kids back in school except the politicians and the teachers unions. reporter: today the white house press secretary doubling down saying that t

also, former district attorney in montgomery county, pennsylvania. and this announcement by the former president comes, just a few days after he split ways, after all five members of his legal team walked out and left. there had been a disagreement over the legal direction they were taking. president trump was pushing for them to make the central part of their defense the wrong claim that the election was stolen, the wrong claim that there was mass-election fraud. rather, than arguing about the legality of potentially convicting a former president after he had left office. so, the big question, as the former president moves to make these new legal team part of his team is will they follow his lead? will they take his advice on what he wants the central theme of the defense to be? now, time is very short. and the wheels on capitol hill are already going to start turning, this week. the legal briefs will be due in the next few days. and then, of course, the trial is set to begin in the senate, next tuesday. cnn, washington. >>> so let's talk about this

we also have bruce castor who served in pennsylvania state government but also was the montgomery county district attorney most notably for deciding not to go ahead with the prosecution against bill cosby in 2005. an interesting cast of characters. what we will get some of our first clues about what that defense is going to look like as you mentioned when we begin to see the pretrial arguments filed as soon as tomorrow, it's going to be an interesting signal, especially for those senate republicans because this is another question, hallie, how much do those senate republicans act in some ways as a defense for former president trump if not in the trial itself but in public all across the board around the trial because certainly they've largely focused their arguments against moving forward with even the trial itself let alone conviction on these sort of process arguments, whether this is constitutional, not defending the president, his conduct at all here. that's something that clearly they want to stay away from, hallie. >> mike memoli live for us outside the white house. thank you much.

jeremy, one of them is a montgomery county, pennsylvania, attorney, bruce caster.ave famously declined to prosecute bill cosby, because he said there was insufficient evidence. 50 women came forward with different stories. now, they came forward at different times, that's true, but andrea constand had lots of stories about what happened to her with bill cosby, and this prosecutor -- that insufficient evidence, furthermore, he made this what is being called a secret deal for immunity for bill cosby. this is the attorney that they find to help donald trump? >> yeah, and then if you look at the other attorney, david schoen, he is somebody who was a part of roger stone's defense team as well, excuse me. and david schoen, i mean, it's very clear, is a controversial attorney. he also met with jeffrey epstein just days before he committed suicide and later claimed that he did not believe that jeffrey epstein had committed suicide. but i think this comes down to the point that shows that donald trump clearly is not concerned about this trial. the legal brief that he has to

governor hogan said that there have been two more cases of the south african variant in the montgomery county in maryland. and people were coming back from abroad. i mean, are you worried, or will that eventually widen the travel restriction? >> well, i think what our team, our health and medical teams do, so the cdc and others who are actual doctors is make assessments about what steps need to be taken, whether it's masking as you know is now required on planes or travel restrictions from certain countries in order to keep the american people safe. certainly, the -- >> it hasn't worked in maryland obviously. >> i don't know it hasn't worked because we also have prevented a number of people from coming into the country and tried to take steps to reduce the spread of covid and also the spread of some of these variants. but they will assess steps that need to be taken based on variants. obviously, that's something they review on a daily basis. >> a followup question, correct me if i'm wrong, but the president hasn't spoken with prime minister netanyahu. is that surprising? >> i don't know that

governor holcomb said that there has been two more cases of the south african variant in montgomery county in maryland. and people were coming back from abroad. i mean, is that -- are you worried? will that eventually widen the travel restrictions? >> well, i think what our team, our health and medical teams do, so the cdc and others who are actual doctors is make assessments about what steps need to be taken, whether it's masking, as you know, is now required on planes, or travel restrictions from certain countries, in order to keep the american people safe. and certainly -- >> but it hasn't worked in maryland obviously. >> well, i don't know that it hasn't worked because we also have prevented a number of people from coming into the country and tried to take steps to reduce the spread of covid and also the spread of some of these variants. but they will assess steps that need to be taken based on variants. obviously that's something that they review on a daily basis. >> correct me if i'm wrong, but the president hasn't spoken yet with prime minister netanyahu. is that surprising? >> i do

now bruce castor is a former montgomery county p.a.philadelphia. he's best known for declining to prosecute bill cosby back in 2005. that was an elected position and he was enked by someone who believed that someone that could be prosecute and he was and now in prison. and he served as acting attorney general for pennsylvania and his cousin served on the president's defense in the last impeachment trial. he's a house republican staff attorney. so expect those folks to be leading donald trump's defense in this historic trial. >> and they will be, john, up against the impeachment managers that will be led this time by congressman jamie raskin. >> that is right. it is jamie raskin. he's the lead manager joined by nine of his colleagues and rising stars in the democratic party. but raskin is going to be really the compelling figure. the tip of the spear of the argument. he's a former constitutional law professor at american university, author of two books on the supreme court cases, serves on oversight and judiciary and rules committee but

we know that just means sanctuary cities can protect these criminals inside of places like montgomery countyrants have committed very serious crimes including sexual assaults and accused of murder, for example. so this is -- they're doing this because they are having the surge at the border and are overwhelmed in a pandemic. their argument is they need all hands on deck as they open up new facility, as they work through new surges at the border and try to test people. which they aren't currently doing. in terms of the criminal element here there are a number of sanctuary cities across the country that have protected that and we know ice will not be going to look for those people to detain them working with local jurisdictions to get dangerous criminals out of those cities. >> bill: significant shift in policy from one administration to another. keystone pipeline. 11,000 jobs done. there was this exchange with jen psaki and peter doocy from yesterday about green jobs now. >> when it is and where it is they can go for their green jobs and that is something the administration has promised. ther
