>> thank you for the question and thank you, sir for your service in the national guard as well. women look at the army guard in particular, last year we were able to start realigning the eight divisions of the national guard with a supportive brigades, brigade combat teams, combat aviation brigade tenth maneuver enhancement brigade. we're trying to provide our nation not only ten active duty army divisions but also ate national guard divisions. that's where this specific case comes into play. when you look at it the station level as so we noted we need to modernize affirmations and we work very closely to make sure whatever the army modernizes we have the same equipment in the national guard so we're an operable on the battlefield. when we look what the army under long-term work with that program, we want to be part of that to make sure we look, act and operate the same. >> mr. rogers, i don't know if are having a technical issue. you had about 20 seconds left. it looks like we're having a technical difficulty, and if your staff gets hold of our staff we will add that on to your

that the national guard usually pays the bills. i would be interested to know if and how much you are spending -- how much of your spending is on nontraditional-related guard issues. what i mean by that is environmental expenses, on alternative fuels, on climate change, that kind of stuff. it would be great to have an accounting on how much you are spending on that kind of thing just to know, because there are so many different buckets of that, and how much you are for seeing to spend in the next year. that is point number one. point number two, on the issue of extremism, which i think is a crucial issue, i would argue that obviously, communism or marxism, whether the north korean model, the chinese model, the former soviet model, the cuban model, the venezuelan model, is obviously an extremist ideology -- i don't think anyone would disagree. the question, i think another congressman as to how the military is defining extremism. is a group that claims -- their leadership claims to be trained by marxists, would that be considered an

if the dc mayor had control over the national guard in january 6, do you believe the dc national guard word have been deployed to the capital earlier than it was on january 6 quick. >> yes. i do believe that. >> i think we see that in your deployment when things got out of control and the mayor was unable to send you to the capital. chief my adc rule act overrules and then federalize is the dc police department. they have the authority to federalize any other state for local police departments during protest in dc after the murder of george floyd the trump administration threatened to federalize the dc police department. chief . . . . and i thank you ad back. >> the gentlelady yields back and we are now recognizing the gentleman from georgia. he recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. i would like to take time to comment. let me new to this. there we go. i would like to take some time to comment on how the media and the democrats have put forth a narrative that has been circulating around since januarn corrected. for example, the narrative that president trump incited r

we did not disarm the national guard. the request from the mayor was for unarmed support of local law enforcement and we authorized the support she and general walker requested. at about 2:30, it became clear to me that local and federal law enforcement personnel were insufficient to address the situation and the department of defense would be required to play a much larger role in establishing security in washington, d.c. at 3:00 i approved the authorization of the full district of columbia national guard to assist capitol police and the metropolitan police department. at 5:20 p.m., national guard arrived at the capitol. order was restored by 8:00 p.m. and the electoral college results were certified. those of you with military experience or understand the nature of military deployments will recognize how rapid our response was. krit says of the military response is unfounded and reflects inexperience with or lack of understanding of military situations is simply a result of politics. there are complexities to deploying

national guard?> i had conversations with secretary mccarthy leading up to january 6 and there were several coordination calls with the department of defense. between local law enforcement and members of federal law enforcement entities, capitol police, secret service, fbi, u.s. attorney's office, there were several coordination calls but let up to generate fix. >> since that time, what has been done to fix coordination? >> the thing that is different now is there is an urgent matter, something that needs to be talked about those are conversations that take place. one of the things highlighted during this was some things were emailed two different agencies and i don't think you can qualify that or check the box is a notification. those things, in principle, should be talked directly about and suddenly there has been more of that since january 6. >> thank you, i yield back. >> the gentleman from texas is now recognized. >> madam chair, thank you. violence is a way of achieving racial -- as a way of ac

that you authorized dc national guard troops to deploy to the capitol.president's call? >> no. i asked to provide all necessary support civilian and local and federal law enforcement at -- i gave approval at 3:00 p.m. and the order was issued at 3:04 p.m. >> mr. miller, your order to deploy came only 24 minutes after the vice president called you and your testimony is that they are unrelated? do i have that right? >> i'm sorry. you're going to have to say that again. >> that's hard for me to believe, but i'm going to move on. >> what's the question? >> excuse me. mr. rosen, let me now turn to you. you were the acting attorney general on january 6th, and you reported directly to the president. did you speak to president trump on january 6th at all? >> i did not. i did not require any authorities that the department didn't already have. >> well, i think that the lack of direct communication from president trump speaks volumes. president trump swore an oath to protect the constitution and to execute his duties as commander in chief. when his supporters atta

national guard act would give the mayor control over the d.c. national guard. we know the governors of the states and even of the territories control their national guards, but the president controls the d.c. national guard. if the d.c. mayor, chief contee, had control over the d.c. national guard on january 6, do you believe that the d.c. national guard would have been deployed to the capitol earlier than it was on january 6th? >> yes, i do believe that. >> i think we see that in your depl deployment, when things got out of control and the mayor was finally able to send you to the capitol. chief contee, my d.c. home rule act would repeal the president's authority to federal lies the d.c. president. now, the president doesn't have the authority to federalize eye other state or local police department. during protests in d.c. after the murder of george floyd, the trump administration threatened to federalize the d.c. president. >> does the president have the authority to federalize the d.c. department? >> no, i do not. >> under who's authority without statehood?

you mentioned the national guard. k reaction force of national guardsmen and women. that's running into opposition now. we saw it took hours without a quick reaction force in january to get national guardsmen and women there. what is the consequence of this? does it make it more likely that capitol police get overwhelmed again in circumstances like this? >> well, the capitol police had the option to call it d.c. metropolitan as well as other police agencies to schedule events such as known demonstrations that might be happening in collaboration with park place. the scheduled events, that system worked well, as we saw during the presidential speech at the capitol. what we're concerned about is the no-notice events that might happen. what happened at the -- what happened if the capitol is att attacked in the middle of the night. i think that's why we recommended, we have a national guard present just like we have national guard fighter squad over at andrews air force base and a national guard and defense batteried in the

if the national guard was needed, there is a protocol in place to activate the national guard. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for another minute. mr. womack: i object to the creation of a quick reaction force. a $200 million expense to bring the national guard into the picture. there is a protocol in place. we ought to exercise it. the way you do it you act on intelligence. i also oppose creating the $250 million slush fund for future unknown costs. let's understand what our security needs are before we throw money at the problem. it also includes funding for the judiciary, district of columbia, that is unrelated to the january 6 attacks. the security of our federal courts is extremely important, but those can be addressed through the regular appropriations process. we ought to do that. finally, i'm disappointed the bill was not marked up by the appropriations committee and the majority has prohibited amendments to improve the bill. madam speaker, it's not going to surprise you or anybody else that i'm not a big fan of this bill. i urge a no vote. let's go

i am concerned that over the past year we witnessed the national guard really deploy virtually nonstopo handle pandemic relief and civil servants to administer vaccines, protect the u.s. capital and a whole myriad of activities. in new hampshire we had more than 900 guard members who have deployed to support our covid relief efforts and we cannot have gone through this last year without them but they have been consistently on deployment for more than 400 days. we also just sent a battalion to the unit from the first battalion 169 aviation to close a vote and of that unit attended previously been deployed and one was on the sixth deployment. as a think about what we need and the important role of our national guard are you concerned with those prolonged high operational tempo of deployments and have you given any thought to what we might do to address the impact on those guard members and their families? >> thank you, senator for that question. first of all, i want to take the opportunity to just think the national guard for the tremendous work that it has done in the past year in parti

this week the national guard is been harding was been a much long resins fear of the capitol. the aspect of the guards presence here were not left out or coherently as either congress or the service members deserved. the members congress will continue to discuss and debate whether it is appropriate for uniformed military personnel to obtain ongoing roll in policing the united states capitol going forward. for the senators are absolutely 100 percent united, is in her great admiration and appreciation of the individual men and women who volunteer to serve in the national guard put on the uniform and his orders brought them here to the capitol complex. it was our particular honor to me to talk with several groups of the remarkable men and women in the kentucky national guard during this period. so thank you all from all 50 states for your patriotism and for your service. now to a completely different matter, when president biden's nominees having qualified and mainstreamed, they received bipartisan cooperation. usat the present choice had a ky division and department of justice a

army reserves and my stepson in law, serves in the national guard.lose to serve in a different way as a career civil servant in the department of defense and later i had the honor of serving as undersecretary of defense for policy. it has been the privilege of my career to work alongside and see firsthand the sacrifices, soldiers and their families make, as well as all they achieve when answering the nation's call, time and again. i could not be more humbled and proud to have the opportunity to serve as secretary of the army and to ensure that we continue to provide the army with what it needs to succeed. title 10 givers the secretary of the army many responsibilities. but fundamentally, the job of the secretary is to lead the army, to lead change in the army, to be a strong advocate for the value of land power, both inside and outside the department of defense. and to build strong relationships with you, congress, who ultimately provides the army with the authorities and resources it needs to fulfill its mission. if confirmed, i will focus each and

i am concerned over the past year we witnessed the national guard really deployed virtually nonstop todle pandemic relief, civil services, protecting the u.s. capitol, a whole myriad of activities. in new hampshire, we have had more than 900 guard members deployed to support the covid relief efforts. we could not have gone through this last year without them but they have been on deployment for more than 400 days. we also just sent a battalion -- a unit from the aviation regiment to kosovo and of that unit 10 had previously been deployed and 1 was on the sixth the deployment. as we think about what we need in the important role of the national guard are you concerned with those prolonged high operational tempo of deployments and have you given any thought to what we might do to address the impact on those guard members and their families? ms. warmuth: thank you, senator, for the question. first of all i want to take the opportunity to thank the national guard for the tremendous work it has done in the past year in particular. as you said they have really stepped up and in a time period

in particular, general barry, and his national guard men and women deserve our deepest thanks .

[applause] >> i want to thank the staff at the delaware veterans home. over 15 months of this pandemic with one of the most vulnerable populations to covid-19, our staff down there has been unbelievable in protecting those veterans. to date, no one has passed from covid-19 at our veterans home.

thousands of national guard troops have stood watch here in d.had its peak 26,000 troops were authorized leading up to the inauguration. the pentagon extended the mission for about 5000 troops in march. since then, slowly, numbers have been reduced and most temporary fencing has been packed up. as for securing the capital going forward, lawmakers are divided on how to do that, the lower they think, the less security capital will would be because we have to harden the capital. last week, the house narrowly passed a $1.9 billion security supplemental bill and a bill to establish a 9 11 style commission to look into the capital riot. now it's up to the split senate. we should be coming together. bipartisan way to do a thorough investigation to make sure that the second time in american history that our capital was taken is the last time the security bill includes money to reimburse the national guard. plus it would harden capital windows and doors provide for retractable fencing and create a quick reaction force. steppin were another similar event t
