nadler: mr. speaker, i now recognize one minute to the gentlelady from michigan, ms. tlaib. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from michigan is recognized for one minute. ms. tlaib: colleagues, as someone who grew up in a community on the front line of the racist so-called, quote, war on drugs, i am proud to stand here today in support of the equal act, to eliminate racial disparities in crack and powder cocaine possession. the war on drugs, which was designed as a racist project to target black and brown americans, my neighbors, and the obvious racial disparities and enforcement -- in enforcement show us it's still at its core a racist of targeting communities of color through overpolicing, criminalization, and mass incarceration. simply put, addiction is a health condition, not a crime. giving incarcerated people an opportunity to be resentenced will transform lives immediately. we need to be doing more to make reparations to those impacted by the so-called war on drugs. and while this bi

i know it was his desire, and chairman nadler for making this happen. and i reserve the rest of my time. >> gentleman from texas reserves. the gentleman from new york is recognized. >> mr. speaker, i now yield three minutes to the distinguished gentleman from rhode island, mr. cicilline. >> the chairman recognizes the gentleman from rhode island. >> i am in strong support of the equal act, which eliminates the discriminatory sentencing disparity between crack and powdered cocaine. and i want to thank chairman nadler for bringing this before our committee and its quick passage. and for their leadership on this issue. as you know, mr. speaker, 35 years ago, congress passed the anti-drug abuse act, which created this drastic sentencing disparity between two types of cocaine, the same substance, just in a different form. and as has been explained under this disparity you needed a hundred times the amount of powdered cocaine than crack cocaine to get the same sentence. there was no scientific basis for this, no empirical evidence that there was any evidence.

jordan alleged that nadler wants to "censor us." they wanted to question nadler and the ag about recent statements particularly with aggressive action of these school board meetings. so what did you make of that exchange and is that an example of how many are being shut down when you choose to question? >> this underscores not just what jerry nadler and people on the left are trying to do but what's going on in some of these school boards where they are trying to silence parents. in the video they probably would have given more attention to the point he's making by trying to censor the video. and we are seeing this across the country already. parents are showing up in record numbers and school board meetings as they should be of school boards in making decisions that go against the wishes of those children. millions of children have had ayear of their life taken away and so shining a light on it is important and showing a video of those parents is something that we all should be wanting to see of the fact that chairman nadler wants

nadler is not likely to grant this hearing request.nesday merrick garland was pressed on the memo which sparked outrage. garland said she was only trying to ensure public safety including school board members. >> don't believe it's reasonable to read this memorandum as chilling anybody's rights. it's about threats of violence and recognizes the constitutional rights to make arguments about your children's education. >> republicans are not buying it. they say the justice department way overstepped their authority here and the two senators are calling for garland to resign over this matter. martha, comes on going. >> martha: thanks, mark. there's a significant shift in the narrative around the deadly shooting on alec baldwin's film set. the new mexico sheriff in charge of this investigation telling fox news earlier today that it is too early to say this was an accident. listen to this. >> i'd be careful using the word "accident." this is obviously a tragedy and it was avoidable. so right now it's a criminal investigation. >> just to back

this week the new york congressman jerry nadler asked the u.s.nt to block alabama from using federal covid funds to build prisons. writing, quote, the american rescue plan is a historic effort to provide urgent assistance in a time of great suffering, it should not be used to worsen our national problem of overincarceration. governor ivy shot back on twitter accusing nadler of overstepping and insisting the funds can be used for, quote, lost revenue. >> nothing about this is going to be easy. >> reporter: dianne gallagher, cnn, montmontgomery, alabama. >>> a north carolina sheriff says they are monitoring tips of sightings of brian laundrie, this as we are getting a look at new body cam video about what petito told police about a dispute she had with her fiance just weeks before her remains were found. >> did he hit you, though? i mean, it is okay if you are saying you hit him, but we want to know the truth if he actually hit you. because, you know -- >> i guess, yeah, but i hit him first. >> where did he hit you? don't worry. just be honest. >>

as jerry nadler continued to ask him questions he seemed halting and uncertain. when he asked, did any senior white house official refuse to be interviewed by you and your team? his eyes darted left and right, physically searching his memory. i don't believe so, he said. now i was alarmed. nadler's question was almost rhetorical. he raised his eyebrows and said slowly, the president? mueller raised a hand in recognition of his error. well, let me take that back, he said. i winced at the sight of this and turned to my democratic colleagues. even on a bad day, mueller had been capable of performing better than 99% of the witnesses i heard testify. but this was not the bob mueller i knew. two years had brought a striking change. and i suddenly understood not only his own reluctance to testify, but the protective instincts of his dedicated staff. had i known how much he had changed i would not have pursued his testimony with such vigor. in fact, i would not have pursued it at all. joining us now is the chairman of the house intelligence committee, author of "midnight

this week new york congressman jerry nadler asked the u.s. treasury department to block alabama from using federal funds for prisons, writing the rescue plan is a historic effort to provide assistance in a time of great suffering. it should not be used to worsen our national problem of incarceration. governor ivey shot back on twitter, accusing nadler of overstepping and insisting the funds can be used for, quote, lost revenue. >> nothing about this is going to be easy. >> reporter: dianne gallagher, cnn, montgomery, alabama. >>> right now in washington a massive march is under way. thousands of women are protesting texas' restrictive anti-abortion law. the demonstration is one of more than 600 marches happening across the country in support of abortion rights. cnn's suzanne malveaux is at the march in the nation's capitol. the volume is a little lower, but that doesn't mean people are gone. they've just relocated, right? >> reporter: fred, they are on the move. there are thousands and thousands of people that are heading down pennsylvania av

ask yourself, what are democrats like nadler so afraid of?istant to transparency and openness? why so resistant to making sure that children are not being indoctrinated in schools? and who would be against parents wanting to involve themselves in their kids education? that is called good parenting. the fact is, there are now efforts all across the country to turn our schools into far left indoctrination centers, and it's fueled by extreme ideologies like crt, and that attacked anyone that dares stand in their way. now earlier in the week, former secretary of state condoleezza rice was on that hard-hitting, loving news show known as "the view" and had this to say when asked about crt. take a look. >> i would like black kids to be completely empowered, to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that, i don't have to make my kids feel bad for being white. so somehow, this is a conversation that has gone in the wrong direction. >> sean: wow. democrats, they continue to endure the issues that matter most and the unequal

would certainly hope that they would be much more sensitive. >> your time is expired. >> you chairman nadler. thank you for your house in a public service. i went to the board member. the disturbing death threats. the lack of concern by my republican colleagues for the safety of teachers and school officials and school board members is dangerous, disgusting and utterly shameful. thank you attorney general garland for seeking to protect americans and threats of violence. might you ask some questions about racial and ethnic profiling. in 2014 and 2015, asian-americans were wrongfully arrested by the department of justice and charged with alleged spying for china, and months later all their charters were dropped but not after their lives were ruined and they incurred massive legal bills. as we looked into these cases the only thing that was the same with all of them is the defendants happened to look like me. they happen to be asian-american. in response then attorney general loretta lynch ordered implicit bias training for all her law-enforcement agents and prosecutors at the department of jus

the other letter we sent to the national security, or to chairman nadler was to have a hearing.he attorney general said in that extraordinary memo was in the task force he is going to create, the national security division of the fbi is going to be involved. that was created under the patriot act and it is designed to protect america from terrorism. what role would they have with america's parents? edward: exactly. you're on the homeland security committee. you know, what is your reaction when you heard frustrated parents being compared to domestic terrorists? >> you know the first place that came out was in the letter from the school boards association and again, that is what they said in their subsequent memo they heard a lot from their members. they issued an apology. they said that was utterly unjustified, yet the attorney general of the united states, the leading law enforcement officer of federal law enforcement continues to double down on the memo that invokes that anti-terrorism mechanism. it is just extraordinary. i never seen anything like it, edward. edward: in the la

attorney general garland, you may begin. >> good morning, chairman nadler, ranking member jordan andee. thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. my address to all justice department employees on my first day in office i spoke about three co-equal priorities that should guide the department's work. upholding the rule of law, keeping our country safe and protecting civil rights. the first core priority of holding the rule of law is rooted in the recognition that succeed and retain the trust of the american people, the justice department must adhere to the norms that have been part of its d.n.a. since levy's tenure as the first post watergate attorney general. the norms of independence from improper influence of the principled exercise of discretion and of treating like cases alike define who we are as public servants. over the past seven months that i have served as attorney general, the department has reaffirmed and where appropriate updated and strengthened policies to these norms. we strengthened our policy governing communications between the justice department and

elizabeth: congressman, let me show more from the video democrat jerry nadler renewed to show today whatents are upset about. see sound bites in typed out form here. it is pretty bad stuff what the parents are really upset about. congressman, first of all, how far will the government ethics probe of ag garland go? secondly, why didn't the white house and the ag, and the department of education, why don't they just sit down with parents and listen too what they're talking about? they don't want their children acre alizeed as young as five years old. kids are supposed to be climbing trees at that time, playing with barbie dolls as one parent said. they don't want to talk about their sexual identity for 10-year-olds. they don't want to see porn in their school libraries for their kids. how about stopping that first before you go after parents? >> absolutely. now is the time for concerned parents to really speak up. we should not be deterred by this at all. the department of justice is advancing a political agenda. there is no other way to see this, the attorney general did nothing today to

specifically about those things and they were denied based on what chairman nadler of the house judiciary committee said was a point of rule there. someone objected and they went on. the back and forth got chippy for a bit. and then just moments ago, we saw something else and they are taking a break now and while they do we'll step in with "the faulkner focus". i'm hair use -- harris "the faulkner focus". a moment ago you saw the a.g. pressed on what may seem to be naked eye a conflict of interest for him to talk at all about going after parents and leveraging the f.b.i. to do that over issues that parents may have on what is being taught inside their children's's classroom. critical race theory. i believe we have a little bit of that. i will ask my team for that. >> given the timing of all this your memo appears to have been motivated by politics more than any pressing federal law enforcement need. it also concerns us that your actions may have been motivated by your families financial stake. >> i'm very familiar with it and want to be clear once again that there is nothing in this memor
