enforcement by the sergeant at arms and capitol police for her to stay away from representative ocasio-cortez. but ms. taylor greene has engaged in this behavior with other members and her staff, with other members, as well. this is unacceptable. republicans and democrats should join in ensuring that this kind of doesn't continue because, talk about destroying. if there wasn't enough destruction of that after january 6th, engaging in this kind of behavior and allowing it to continue really does not bode well for future congresses. >> jeff mason, want to bring you into the conversation here. can the biden administration do anything, especially when it comes to the harassment of individuals inside congress? >> well, i don't know that they've been asked to do anything specifically on that, but i think more broadly it is the ability between democrats and republicans to work together and that's one thing that president biden has said is a priority. but we've seen in the last few months in addition to this awful vitriol that you just showed in that clip, just a lot of really, really high partisan tension.

ms. ocasio-cortez: this is a difficult week in general and in particular, the rights of palestinians and lives that have been impacted by the violence of this week. what i think is important and i'll start with a story. as a little girl, my family comes from and i grew up where the united states bombed tits own territories and communities. and i would go to sleep as a little girl to the sound of u.s. bombs detonating. practice is what it was called at the time. practice. and when i saw those air strikes that are supported with u.s. bombs, i could not help but wonder if our communities were practice for this. this is our business because we are playing a role in it. and united states must acknowledge its role in the injustice and human rights violations of palestinians. this is not about both sides. this is about an imbalance of power. when i first got here in 2019, the israeli government refused to admit two members of the united states congress, representative tlaib and representative omar into the country. ban members of this very body because of who they were. it was a sign of weaknes

ms. ocasio-cortez is now recognized for five minutes. >> thank you so much, chairwoman waters and thank you to all our witnesses who are here today who are sharing your experience and expertise. i wanted to take today to focus in on an issue that i think is concerning to everyone and that's climate change and we wanted to narrow in a little bit more on how we can take a collective approach to making sure that where we need to get car been emissions. for each of you, i just wanted to start off and recognize that each of your firms have made a commitment to achieving netzero financed emissions by 2050 which is a key milestone for the paris climate agreement, and this last week the iaea announced that all fossil fuel projects must be stopped immediately in order to meet the paris goal of limiting warming to 1.5 a degree centigrade. so i just wanted to pose a couple of questions to discern a little bit about the details of each of your firm's commitment. so for each of you, if you can kind of go down yes or no? are each of your firms still financing new oil and gas production and we can start o

ms-13. he's doing a lot to help but not enough according to sandy cortez.se democrats was sent a letter to the dhs secretary urging the government to deport fewer violent gang members and other felons. "we urge the biden administration to pursue humane and just immigration policies aimed to end mass incarceration, criminals asian and deportation of immigrants." it went on to suggest anyone against this is, needless to say, wait for it, a racist. jonathan fahey is the more director of ice, we are happy to have him tonight. thanks so much for coming on. more violent gang members. i hate to ask a philosophical question but other than destroying the united states, why would someone before this? >> other than just simply trying to get as many illegal aliens in the country as possible and to encourage more to come by saying there is no scenario you will get thrown out, i can't think of anything whatsoever. it clearly will harm public safety and this is so remarkable because if you think about it, it wasn't that long ago when democratic politicians might be on a s

cortez is finally found a problem with joe biden's immigration policy. she's not crying outside of offense but she's still pretty upset. she is upset that joe biden is not doing enough to help msenough, she was 1 of 34 house democrats who sent a letter to the dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas urging that they deport. aim to end mass incarceration, criminalization and deportation of immigrants. anyone against us, needless to say, wait for it. jonathan fahey is the former director of ice and we are happy to have him join us tonight. so much for coming on. more violent gang members. other than destroying the united states, why would someone be for this? >> trying to get as many illegal aliens as possible, and i can't think of anything whatsoever. it clearly will harm public safety. if you think about it, it wasn't that long ago, might be on the stage with police officers and crime victims. house members are using timing, power and resources to advocate on behalf of of ms-13 members. it's truly astonishing and there's no consideration for the victims of these gang members. and if they leave them here they will commit even more crimes. why they didn't deport the ms-13 member, it's t
