so other commissioners, commissioner norton? >> commissioner norton: yeah, i'm in agreement with you, president sanchez. i think that this may be doable, it may not be doable. i mean, just -- i don't even know -- i mean, i'd actually be interested to hear from chief lawson, i mean, do you have any sense of what kind of retrofit would be needed to -- just thinking about all of our school buildings, it's hard for me to imagine, you know, they're all different and the windows are all different. it's just hard for me to imagine that we could have a one solution that could be in place and, you know, in six weeks or less. >> so not surprisingly, i think that i have kind of a nuanced answer here. but it's a little bit of everything that folks have said. so from a mechanical perspective can you have a fan in the classroom, right? basically to have the standard box that is set into the window frame. can you have the exchange rate per hour improved? yes, that is true. that is viable -- you know, it's a viable approach. and it could happen

eleanor holmes norton welcome back to the "newshour". thank you so much for being here. tuldz what you took away from today. >> from today, judy, you saw the effect of arrestest after january 6th insurrection an tightened security that followed it. sitting where i was as a member of congress, you couldn't see that. but if you represent the district as i do, you saw it every day. i live on capitol hill, the mayor had to get a police escort to get me through to the capitol. that's just how tight it was. i cel relax and, judy, i think it will because i think the security has had a deterrent effect. we all around the country and the states, we saw very little in the way of demonstrations, they were very puny.

so other commissioners, commissioner norton? >> commissioner norton: yeah, i'm in agreement with you, president sanchez. i think that this may be doable, it may not be doable. i mean, just -- i don't even know -- i mean, i'd actually be interested to hear from chief lawson, i mean, do you have any sense of what kind of retrofit would be needed to -- just thinking about all of our school buildings, it's hard for me to imagine, you know, they're all different and the windows are all different. it's just ha

norton if you take the gavel, i'm going to go out and go vote and i will be back. thank you for doing that and you are recognized. >> i think we are having some computer problems. that may have been a part of why you couldn't find someone else while ago to aska question . as i get into this i do want to highlight the fact that a lot of the reason we are here today i think is simply because the democrats for this entire year have been pushing for vote by mail and look, we all know when you have to vote by mail you're not going to be ableto get results back in a timely fashion . we need look no further than past chairwoman maloney about that. her last election took six weeks to get answer finally as to who one now we're looking at it on a national basis and we are complaining that was three weeks was involved in transition with gsa. a lot that can be attributed to the path that we've been pushing and accepting across the country, vote by mail which is a disaster on multiple fronts but rather than focus on the transition is already underway , i would like to speak to

on that score you recently told leslie norton at barron's, my colleague, you're forecasting a depressionn you explain why that is? >> depressions, they're larger in scale than recessions. the largest recession in history was the great recession in 2008. this disruption is greater. it's global. this disruption is global but most importantly life does not return to the status quo ante after you go through and when you think about the immense disruption of jobs, the extraordinary focus on new technologies and innovation, as a consequence closings down of the brick-and-mortar, change on climate as opposed to fossil fuels, all those things are kind of step change that makes life after coronavirus very different than life before. jack: so just to be clear here, was that the depression or you see something worse in our near future? >> no. that is the depression we're talking about. the fact people don't like using the term because it scares them. they shouldn't. of course there is so much more wealth today in the world and in the united states than there was when the great depression hit a cent

want to bring in a woman who represents this very city of washington, congresswoman eleanor holmes norton. congresswoman, you have represented d.c. for 30 years. you live just nine blocks from this capitol. when you look at the city and the capitol today what goes through your mind? >> what goes through my mind is what i experienced yesterday when i tried to get to the capitol. and i couldn't find my way to the capitol -- easily -- every point i was met with check points. it's not that they wouldn't let me through it's that you couldn't get through that check point to get to the capitol. i had to go to the capitol because we had to be vaccinated -- sorry, we had to be -- had to have a covid test. even though i have been vaccinated twice. i should be fully vaccinated. we had to have a covid test. and i must tell you while i understand what is happening i can't wait for it to be over. as a resident, where i feel annoyed by it, but as a member of congress, where i understand it. >> i got a chance to walk around d.c. yesterday and even though only 7% of the district is in that lockdown zone,

detective mike norton. >> in the victims' bedroom, the drawers had been pulled out, a lot of clothes thrown on the floor. >> a decorative sword was missing and two jade statues. likely expensive. but wait a minute. maybe it wasn't a robbery. >> her purse was present on the kitchen table. there was jewelry. >> in the father's pants pocket which were in his bedroom, there was a large amount of cash. >> $9,000 in cash rolled up in his jeans pocket. and that was untouched? >> untouched. >> so was the crime scene staged to hide something more sinister than robbery? why did they find that odd and very obvious pattern of bloody shoe prints but only around the bodies? >> and the shoe prints would go back and forth to each victim but they just disappeared. you were thinking how did this person get out? >> still, easy enough to id the shoe prints. there was an obvious nike swoosh right there in the middle. little checking revealed it was a nike impact tomahawk. big. maybe close to size 12. but who wore them? who would do such an awful thing? and why? >> in our area we just didn't have a husban

the great vision for our program taking us from letter press editions that we were publishing with norton that worked out very well but mark ushered us into the digital age. and we are deeply saddened by his loss. we will miss his guiding hand. but in the spirit of what mark wanted, which was for us to be an important voice in bringing this history to the united states, and encouraging greater transparency into the workings of the government and into the presidency. with we will push on. and so we are pleased to be here today. to help us sort out of connections between past and present, niki hemmer, nicole hemmer, will be our guiding hand today. niki's perfect for this job. she is an assistant professor in presidential studies at the miller center. she is a member of the presidential recordings program. and, again, a wonderful colleague. she is also the editor and founder of "the washington post" series "made by history" and of the podcast "past, present." and i'm deeply grateful to niki for running over here from the session that she had just moderated to help us. thanks. >> thank you, m

as well as congresswoman eleanor holmes norton who is here in d.c. who has pushed back and said that there will not be permanent fencing, that they will not make this, essentially, a fortified base. at the same time, the national guard is going to now be staying here until mid-march. there are 7,300 guardsmen and women that are still on the ground. we spent the day just about two miles from here yesterday at the d.c. armory, which has essentially been a pop-up logistics headquarters for the national guard. and that is why there are questions, because it's not just the capitol, but it's also the office buildings. you have senate office buildings and house office buildings that are also part of this closed capitol perimeter. and typically, members of the public, that's where you can go and not only talk to members of congress, but also the staff. but right now, essentially, you have a fortified area here. and the questions now are to what extent does that remain? and does permanent fencing, are those included in the security changes moving forward? >>

more likely is that it may lead ultimately to the dissolution of the united kingdom not only with norton and of orders but also with scotland both parts of course voted against briggs's and that brings us to the next point i was going to raise is how soon do you think we might see more of a serious challenge now to the status of northern ireland because it is kind of already in a different situation from the rest of the u.k. visibly the e.u. at least right. it is very much so and i think what's important is to consider bragg's not as an event i mean that's obviously what we're talking about today because it's the 1st of january this is day one but drags it is a process and it will take many years for us to fully digest the consequences and i think there will be a lot of pain involved for for all sides i mean this is ultimately a divorce and and divorces are painful but ultimately britain still lives in the same neighborhood from its former spouses it still interacts on a daily basis and it won't be able to separate i think in the way that it's all to believe visitors but in terms of the

we roped in congressman norton to take up the cause. i like to liken it to having a cat. you sometimes have to distract them with something else. this is where they came up with the idea of you cannot have this memorial, but how about pershing park? [laughter] at that point congress said yes. we basically preserved our own local memorial built and funded by washington and i do 41. it shows 491 washingtonians that died. a few of them were women. these were just citizen soldiers that died from washington, d.c.. if you have not checked it out, please do so. it is a bandstand and you can also rent it. we have a commemoration there on the centennial of the armistice. lastly, pershing park. when i lead tours i asked everyone who has been to pershing park before and you maybe get a quarter of the people. the park was built in 1981 and almost no one goes into it except for the homeless and skateboarders. [laughter] it is being repurposed. congress repurposed it and now the u.s. world war i centennial commission is in the process of raising the funds to revamp the park and build a

i mean a number of people asked me, why did you not publish with norton? or the other ones.nd i said because the book that would have come up would not have been my book. it would have been a product, it would have been something written by a committee. which, frankly is what most textbooks are. you see on the cover a list of very distinguished names. which may have had some role in the writing of the textbook. maybe not, but the book that comes out reflects the sausage making process that this doctor has described. i just did it the old-fashioned way, and it reflects, as you read it which i trust you all will do, you will sense that there is an author. there is a person behind this i think that is a much better way to relate history, then to give the oppression that history is the voice of god, or the voice of some kind of objectivity and peculiarities of any individual person. but i think, we have to have, several illusions have been made in the counsel culture, victoria said a few things about it. i think it is important that we have institutions and publishers that are w

so, and it's one of the things if you -- we roped in congressman norton to take up the cause here. i liken it to having a cat. you sometimes simply have to distract someone with something else. they came up with the idea of, hey, you can't have this memorial, but hey, how about pershing park? and of course, congress said yes, so we basically preserved our own local memorial built and funded by local washingtonians in it shows 499 washingtonians 1931. who died during the great war, of whom seven were women. and they're listed all around the base of it, enough about ago -- simply in alphabetical order, not singled out by race, by sex, nor by rank. really very egalitarian, these were just citizen soldiers who died from washington, d.c. very proud of this memorial. if you haven't gone there to check it out, please do at some point. it is in fact a bandstand, and you can also rent it. people have weddings there and so on. we had a commemoration there on the centennial of the armistice. lastly, pershing park right across from the willard hotel, i was asked when i leave tours, i always as

we must get congresswoman norton's bill passed and on the president's desk within the first 100 days of the 117th congress. again, i'm encouraged by the actions taken by federal law enforcement thus far to get ready for this unprecedented inauguration, but we know much more work must happen. i'm calling on the joint terrorism task force to investigate, arrest and prosecute any individual who entered the capitol, destroyed property for incited the acts of domestic terrorism last week. i urge the congress to create a nonpartisan commission to understand the catastrophic security failures and both to hold people accountable and ensure that it never happens again. it is not lost on me, as we heard in president's comments who stoked the flames of this extremism and on january 6th encouraged the acts of terrorism and sedition that we saw, that resulted in the deaths of two united states capitol police officers and four others. as you have heard today, the members of the congressional black caucus know better than most there's inextrickable tie between those, and the speech and actions unde
