go past the complex one is pennsylvania avenue one is independence avenue this is pennsylvania avenue here in front of the white house independence avenue on the other side so more on that side of the building here and that side of capitol hill there were reports that someone around the vehicle into to us c.p. that's the united states capitol police officers a suspect is in custody both officers injured all 3 being transported to the hospital and that statement coming from the u.s. e.p. just in the last 5 minutes or so ok allan thank you for now stay there and we'll see if i can get you back on the phone to get into it with whatever they need to understand having a look at google maps here at the same time as well trying to get a. handle on things so the north barricade vehicle where when you on independence avenue as alan says the other side i think from the picture we're looking at. all this could be the you know i'm struggling to get a bearing on that to be honest. but some of the close up pictures that we're seeing now as well of and as allan said the report that vehicles have. th

both ends of pennsylvania avenue, democrats chose an alternate universe campaign promises they made in the american people delivered, it's completely different than what happened right here on planet earth. unfortunately, mr. president realized this false advertising campaign, pain and uncertainty and dwindling leverage and virtue signaling. messages on the status of the pandemic existing vaccine distribution efforts to surpass president biden's supposedly ambitious daily talking on the day he was sworn in. top health officials left on school reopening, administration walked back there. the president continues to issue directives strangely out of step with this like his big announcement several weeks ago citizens hatinglv themselves and would prevent them on outdoor gatherings in the cdc guidance already says be safe right now then there's environmental policy. on day one president biden rushed to capitol pipeline product that would have been on thousands of americans and safel and reliable energy and announced returning proven unable to return on carbon emissions and unnecessary for t

and then what happened after he was out of office, 9/11 and never will be open pennsylvania avenuexist now, chad, in or around the capital? i know they were quickly taking it down including the one right outside the capital building itself, but what type of fencing is still in place of any? reporter: this is a higher fence about 10 or 12 feet tall. they took the razor wire off the couple of weeks ago. it's probably pretty flimsy in the sense that if you wanted to ram it with a car you probably could but it's all locked together, but inside they have the permanent dollars-- dollars, but that is the fencing that remains up around capitol square right now. again, they have similar fencing with two layers and maybe this is what will initiate the conversation about do they need to layers because you had to come in, you would be checked , you have probably about an eighth of a mile depending on where you are coming in from the street a couple of weeks ago and you could not have gotten this close. you would have officers there and even around the time of an operation and certainly march 4

couple exciting things to do and so i got in the back of the police car went down pennsylvania avenue, and they must have been 200 news people following and we got to the executive office building. and there was another crowd of the reporters there and we had already called to make arrangements for leonard garment. mr. nixon's current council because he he had a habit of having a different councils when they wouldn't what he said do he would fire him and get another one at various times. and so mr. garment delivered it and i did this little little sneaky thing. i had one of those little little baby constitutions and that that size of the back of my pocket and i whipped that boy out and i said, i've heard you all need one of these down here too. so not only do that deliver a subpoena for the tapes. i delivered a constitution. just a little empty thing for a barefoot boy in the mountains. to do when it's fun, could you actually explain what exactly is the impeachment process and do many americans really understand how the system works when they when they when you say impeachment. most p

why bill clinton in 2000 not long before he left office said he talked about trying to reopen pennsylvania avenuefront of the white house. president bush, george w. bush happened 9/11 happened. the other thing to note is the foot of capitol hill and constitution avenue and the other side. the same with the independence avenue, parallel street, but on the other side, the house side of the cap tom there are similar -- capitol, there are similar barricades there. all the barriers were installed after 9/11. they can raise and lower them. so if they have a big security threat they can raise though. constitution avenue is open and the barricades were down. then they have the double barricades to get in the capitol. to figure out what the threat was. chris van hollen and roy blunt. and they introduced legislation and they held a press conference outside the capitol saying that we want to introduce a bill to bar the election of a permanent fence around the capitol. nancy pelosi has talked about an additional supplemental aprop ration bill. this would be a 13th bill. and just for the capitol security. the

on january 6th, there were thousands of folks that marched down pennsylvania avenue after the president they made their way here to the west front of the capitol, they were easily able to access here this west front lawn. that's when you see the images of the west front at the time there was the inaugural platform in which thousands of folks overtook. they entered here from the west front. you gnaw see that there is fencing here. a nine-foot fence that remains. i will have our photographer swing over here. you can see police and national guard presence here as well blocking the main thoroughfares around this capitol complex. this is a changed environment here 100 days later. when you talk about the presence here, there's more than 2,000 national guardsmen still on site. yet, michael bolton of the capitol police, he testify in front of a house committee there are more than six congressional committees looking at the events of january 6th in the breakdown of law enforcement. i want to let you hear the exchange between congressman butterfield as well as ig bolton yesterday. >> the training

that used to be vehicular traffic open the north end of pennsylvania avenue. feet from the white house grounds. that is now just open to pedestrians and often closed to pedestrians if there's any concern about anything. i'm wondering whether the capitol goes the same route. >> yeah, i think what -- where they need to land is what is that acceptable security versus public balance in terms of access to the capitol. that the lawmakers want to see there. the capitol hill police are very unique. we spoke about this before. they actually report to congress. so they're going to have to take that in to account. i think the incident today demonstrates how important a proper security procedure and perimeter is to have in place. you need to allow the experts put forth the security plan that is necessary to keep everybody safe within the capitol. now, do i think the national guard is the long-term solution here? no. i think we'll see the national guard stay in place until the capitol police can get themselves in a place that they need to be regarding manpower or equipment

i grew up learning and listening to stories about pennsylvania avenue, and i'm like why is that not theso many amazing artists. >> it was the place to be filled with restaurants, theaters, and live music. but riots devastated the area. it suffered again when protestors took to the streets. >> we're not far from where freddy gray grew up and was skilled. but we're just blocks away. how much does this neighborhood news this vibrancy. >> i think it is already here. what is lacking is a narrative people only focus on the negative, not all of the beauty that exists. >> she is now tapping into this beauty and helping artists along the way. many local artists lost their source of income, but through it all, briann saw it. >> she knows she is making progress bridging the racial gap, but she also snows there is still a lot of work to be done. >> it's like a set a fraternal twins. conceived as one but separated. don't believe me, check the census because half news neighborhoods been black and poor since nixon was president. 2015 a grey man is made a memory and again riots. because america is stil

after 9/11, we saw the pennsylvania avenue in front of the avenue —— in front of the white house wasian mall area. there may be some ebbs and flows, increased securities, but the main security is always going to be the us capitol police at the us capitol. they have done an amazing job. the us capitol has been attacked in the past. we even had someone fly a small plane, a 1—man operated plane to the west lawn of the capital. the two officers were killed in 1998 from a man who suffered from mental illness, and they have been other incidents that have taken place around the us capitol. it is a magnet for people with issues to show up there. and so this is something that security is going to have to really look into for the future. , future. indeed they will. thomas _ future. indeed they will. thomas o'connor, - future. indeed they will. j thomas o'connor, thank future. indeed they will. - thomas o'connor, thank you so much for your type of study element thank you very much for having me. == element thank you very much for having me-_ having me. -- thank you very much mattingly. _ a minn

this case goes here as you continue to call in, some sad news this morning from both ends of pennsylvania avenue. palmer vice president walter mondale the liberal icon the associate press rights we lost the most lopsided presidential election after bluntly telling voters to expect a tax increase if you won, died yesterday. he was 93. the death of the former senator come ambassador and minnesota attorney general announced in a statement from his family, no cause was cited. his cry for the widest in 1984 came at the zenith of ronald reagan's popularity. the ap writes his selection of congresswoman geraldine ferraro of new york as his running mate made in the first major party presidential nominee to put a woman on the ticket. he carried only his home state in the district of columbia. the election vote was 525-13. the biggest landslide in the electoral college since franklin roosevelt defeated landed in 1936 by margin of 523-eight. axios in the reporting as the farewell letter that walter mondale who wrote to ms. former staffers since upon his death on monday thanking them for the years of work. h

that changed for the press covering the white house, the number of leaks coming on out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue "washington post" reports reporters drank from the fire hose of leaks emanating from the west wing during the past four years. president donald trump's inexperience and chaotic management style begot west side story in-fighting which translated into the drip, drip, drip of insider accounts. since then the pipeline has gone dry. one white house reporter called biden's white house effectively a leak-proof operation. some of the previous administration's most embarrassing headlines came from leaks and it is clear that the people that were leaking and the reporters that were writing about it lived rent-free in the president's head. >> the leaks are absolutely real. the news is fake. >> i want the attorney general to be much tougher on the leaks from intelligence agencies. which are leaking like rarely have they ever leaked before. >> we have to stop the leaks. the leaks are very dangerous. i think a lot of leaks are made up by the writers. no country in the world that leaks like we do. i

they're kicking it over to the other side of pennsylvania avenue and there are some conversations happening but it is going to require individual members coming together, having conversations about which part of this apple they're willing to bite off. on the democratic side, you are seeing movement on background checks. the big question mark is what on the republican side are they willing to do. the pressure from the gun lobby is to do nothing at all. i think that's going to be the problem here as we go forward in terms of whether something could be done. >> of course, this is deeply frustrating in the sense that the nra speaks right but it does not speak for members of the nra. they themselves are responsible gun owners. john, proesident biden is callig on the senate to act but it is partisan gridlock. there is been so much talk and again i bring up newtown. is there a real chance for it to happen now? >> the anger after newtown, the nra is not the power force american politics it was. the nra is suffering an enormous self inflicted wounds. senator toomey and murphy, they thought there cou

. >> ashley parker, my question, having covered this issue from the other side of pennsylvania avenuech is the biden administration willing to spend. we know how these measures fail to pass. getting something through will have to require the intense support from the white house, pressure from the white house on members of their own party and members of the opposite party as well. do you see the white house applying this kind of force to this issue? >> the challenges that this issue faces making its way through congress. this was one of biden campaign promises, an issue that he didn't take as much robust executive action on day one in a way that surprised and frustrated people looking for more reform. this is more in my conversations with what you cover as well, talking to members on capitol hill and their aides, there is a sense of intractable issues. there is a struggle on infrastructure which is theoretically bipartisan. gun crisis is an area they are most unable to push back on. >> that is discouraging, but makes sense on my reporting as well. kristen, there is one bright spot wher

but over on capitol hill, away from 1600 pennsylvania avenue, it is all about infrastructure.here's a lot of discussion at this point about exactly how this package is going to pass. you saw republicans yesterday come out and say that they could support a smaller infrastructure package, perhaps $600 billion to $800 billion for roads and highways. and it's interesting because that amount that republicans are talking about, you look at biden's plan, he's already proposing about the same for traditional infrastructure. there is an idea that perhaps if they decided to move just the traditional infrastructure piece on its own, that could garner bipartisan support and then democrats could perhaps use the budget reconciliation project to move tax bills and other items with only democratic voteses. lisa: i'm curious about the democratic debate. the idea of the salt tax caps that have gotten a lot more attention in congress. what's the latest there in terms of the willingness to appeal to some of the caps implemented under president trump? ritter has really ramped up. we saw a bipartis

my gosh, the locals went crazy when they closed pennsylvania avenue.ol hill complex, it used to be wide open. after 9/11, things changed. i suspect things will change again. symbolism of openness is important. but more important than that is keeping our lawmakers safe. you look at what happened at the white house when they had to close that part of pennsylvania avenue. it transformed into a really nice area now. >> yeah, i do remember all the fuss about how -- i remember how you used to be able to drive past the front gates. suddenly, it was shut. you would have thought arm ge en was coming. now, there's people out there skateboard, playing music. it's a place for protesters, but it's safer because they can be there and they are outside the perimeter and there aren't cars. we have all completely accepted it. in retrospect, it seems crazy that you ever could drive right past the front door of the white house. now it seems normal that would you have this element of security. it's true with the capitol, too. it was one of the wonderful things that people

bipartisan fashion, but i've got to tell you, from, you know, my day job down at the other end of pennsylvania avenueway raising corporate taxes, raising taxes on individuals, that they get any support from republicans at all, and are going to have to do this alone. what's your take? >> well, i agree with that, kasie, but there's also one other thing. there's folks like joe manchin. the joe manchin rule, do what i want or you don't get anything you want. what we're seeing here, he will only vote for something if it has buy-in from republicans and tax increase os. there's one vote that's going to be tough to get. it's one thing getting -- it's one thing getting something through during a pandemic. it's another thing on infrastructure. so you have to make sure, yes, the president has to make sure he has all 50 votes to go reconciliation. this may be the time to strip things down a bit just to the actual infrastructure, in the bill. broadband, roads and bridges, water infrastructure, et cetera, because that may force the hand of some republicans. not that you get to 60, because, really i don't think tha

think that in the weeks to come we are going to see a lot of back and forth from both ends of pennsylvania avenue. members of the white house telling the white house what numbers they are comfortable with. that is the sausage making process. the compromise that biden was talking about today. >> one we will talk about for a long time. erin, we are in the second week now of the trial. the derek chauvin trial. there was a question put to the president's press secretary about the reaction that the president might have or what he will say at the end of the trial. i would like to get your thoughts on it. >> does the president plan to address the country upon itself concles -- conclusion. >> the president has spoken quite a bit over the course of the last year and it certainly impacted him and redoubled his commitment to addressing racial injustice throughout the country and the government. i certainly would expect we have a statement. >> it matters who the president is and what the president has to say about it regardless of what the outcome of the trial is. >> you saw president biden weigh in to the g

monica alba at 1600 pennsylvania avenue for us on this friday. >>> right now, a lingering and urgente that so many americans are facing to just simply get food on their tables. for more than a year now, we have seen long lines of people at food banks, millions have had to turn to these food banks -- they have turned to the government for unemployment assistant, the food banks for food. this week we saw new unemployment claims fall. cnbc is reporting that 8 million fewer americans are working than before the pandemic. ellison barber is at a food drive at the atlanta motor speedway in hampton, georgia, for us. what are you seeing and hearing there, ellison? >> reporter: the atlanta community food bank has enough food to feed 2,000 households. they are moving cars through as quickly as they can and filling the back of the trucks, whatever it may be, with different food items. they have been doing this for a good hour and a half now. the lines are starting to let up a little bit. people lined up a good two hours or so before this even opened to get food. one of the first questions i aske

adds up to $6 trillion if the last two make it under to 1600 pennsylvania avenue. be paid for over 15 years. there's concerns when you talk about the $6 trillion or so that could be pumped in to the economy on top of the stimulus measures that were pumped into the economy last year as well as the response to covid-19, what this could do for inflationary pressure. martha? >> martha: thanks, blake. joining me now, dana perino, former white house press secretary and co-anchor of "america's news rooms", karl rove, fox news contributor and john baker. we want to start by showing you a comparison. we've been tallying up the numbers compared to f.d.r.'s new deal. the last time we did these numbers, they looked very different. take a look at them now. we know president biden fancies himself a new f.d.r. to transform a lot of things about the u.s. economy. so the spending bill percentage of the g.d.p., the first new deal was 5.9% of the gdp. look at this bill, it's 27.9% of our gross domestic product. that is a huge number. it is really making folks like a.o.c. very happy.

another thing that changed the number of leaks coming out of 1600 pennsylvania avenue. last four years. president trump's inexperience and chaotic management style translated into the drip, drip, drip of insider accounts. since then the pipeline has gone dry. one white house reporter called biden's white house effectively a leak-proof operation. it is clear the people leaking and the reporters writing about it lived rent-free in the president's head. >> i want the attorney general to be much tougher on the leaks from intelligence agencies which are leaking likely ever had leaked before. >> there is no country in the world that leaks like we do. we have leakers all over this place. >> we have leakers all over the place. that is our broadcast for this tuesday night with our thanks for being with us on behalf of all of my colleagues at the networks of nbc. good night. >>> a little bit of breaking news off of the top. the just-posted headline over at the "new york times" right now.

. >>> we are keeping a close eye on 1600 pennsylvania avenue, biden and harris meeting with leaders of hispanic congressional caucus on concerns among hill allies about how to address immigration overall has been quite the tightrope walk. mike, this meeting follows a recent dust-up on the cap of the number of refugees allowed in the country. what does the white house want to come out of this meeting? >> for the white house they have one top priority at the moment which, of course, is making progress on that infrastructure and jobs bill but, then again, this biden administration has a lot of top priorities at the moment. you mentioned some of them, immigration reform, a top priority not just of the president but of the congressional hispanic congress that he'll be meeting with as well as a topic of conversation today and, yes, one of those ten members of the caucus that biden will be meeting with shortly here senator bob menendez, chairman of the foreign relations committee, was one reacting strongly friday about the refugee cap and even in his early weeks as president to lift from the

the flag was raised on pennsylvania avenue.nd played the national anthem as jets flew overhead. more than 116,000 americans died in the war. there are no living veterans. part of the memorial opens on saturday. it will be fully completed in 2024. still to come on the "newshour," the biden administration reverses course twice in one day on the issue of refugees. multiple states seek to ban young transgender athletes from competition. david brooks and jonathan capehart consider the week's political news, plus much more. ♪ >> this is the pbs newshour wbt eight studios and washington and in the west from walter cronkite school of journalism. judy: today saw the biden administration giving mixed messages on whether it would leave historically low caps on refugees put in place by former president trump. yamiche alcindor has more. reporter: president biden walked back an earlier promise to raise the cap on the number of refugees allowed into the united states. i'm joined now by jenny yang. she is the vice president of advocacy and pol

it was the protesters who marched right down here on pennsylvania avenue after president trump spoke, they came here, arrived here to the west front lawn where we stood. again, no law enforcement personnel to be seen. you can see right now, there's still a nine-foot fence that's up. that's new since january 6th. it would have potentially stopped folks from coming onto these grounds if it had been up on january 6th. but why does that fence remain here 100 days later? why do 2,000 national guard members remain here around the capitol complex? it's because of the very evident deficiencies within the capitol police force that remain. just yesterday michael bolton testified in a house committee in which he noted the inefficiencies in planning, development, leadership that led to the january 6th colossal failure. there were police shields that shattered because of either age or how they were stored. he also noted the capitol police did not initially carry these heavy munitions, these stun grenades that could have potentially secured this perimeter and pushed back those thousands that were t

and the broad avenue between them, pennsylvania avenue, which is also a national park, visually linkedhe two buildings and the two branches of government. other similar avenues radiated out from the capitol and the president's house, where these diagonals intersected, circles and squares, were set aside as points of interest where future american heroes could be honored, as they have been. it was an incredibly vast and ambitious plan that presented a grand and optimistic view of america's future. today these circles and squares , prominently located at the intersections of these major roads, have names like dupont, and logan, stanton, seward, and lincoln. and indeed, they are all lands managed by the national park service, as we all know. but for his most important monument, l'enfant reserved a very special place. south of the president's house, due west of the capital, a monument to the most esteemed and beloved american, the general who led the patriots to victory, and who led the nation as our first president, george washington. there, l'enfant imagined the washington monument would

ash tell us the science that you observe at -- tell us the science that you observe at 1600 pennsylvania avenueein: from the moment president biden took office, facts were back in the mix, and science is a big part of that. dr. velti has -- dr. fauci has continued to play a key role. that is precisely what is occurring as we speak. i want to stay in my economics lane, but that is the fact of the case. jonathan: that is the responsible thing to do, and we expect nothing less from you, but we do have talk about their economy and the reopening effort. does this jeopardize the vaccination timeline of the administration of potentially reopening this economy in any way, shape or form? dr. bernstein: it is a totally fair question to which i don't know the answer, and i don't think anyone else does either. i think before we can make the kinds of timing determinations you are asking about, we have to understand how disruptive this is, and we just don't know yet. it is the case, as you well know , the rescue plan played a key role industry being vaccines and helping us accelerate the curve of getting sho

obviously, republicans were willing to go down to pennsylvania avenue, and listen to what the president that this is an attempt to demonstrate, on the part of the white house, that they are reaching out. but that said, the dynamics of how this is, ultimately, going to play out seem pretty set. and that's the -- it's very unlikely republicans are going to support this package. >> extraordinarily. and i can assure you one thing, kasie, it will not come down, in any way, to what they call infrastructure. that's -- that has nothing to do with the republican opposition, in any way, shape, or form. the republican opposition is that quote you showed from roger wicker, which is, republicans are unwilling, completely unwilling, to undo the 2017-tax law to pay for this bill. that's just not something they are willing to do. and i -- and i don't know if that's going to change. i don't think it's going to change. and i know, people will point, the administration will point, to mitt romney and say, well, mitt romney is willing to raise the corporate rate to 25. but mitt romney is not indicative of t

between the house and senate office buildings and pennsylvania avenue in front of the white house after the oklahoma city bombing. had this street been closed, two weeks ago like it was, this incident would not have happened at least here at the capitol. maybe it would have happened further out if somebody was intent to do things. that entrance, you couldn't get anywhere near there with your vehicle. >> chad pergram, thanks very much. let us know if you get anything new as we move through this story. chad pergram on capitol hill. let's bring in john katco from the homeland security committee. congressman, we invited you on to talk about a couple other things but this is the big story this afternoon. your reaction to what happened at that capitol. >> my heart bleeds for the capitol hill police. january 6, like chad mentioned, one died, one later committed suicide, over 100 were assaulted. i remember seeing at 1:00 a.m. after the assault in the state that they were in, they were badly bruised, bloody. uniforms were torn. they were still standing and watching doing the brave stuff that the

and let's go to pennsylvania avenue.ol hill, lauren, it's an ambitious wish list, not saying what has already been passed was easy but this is more difficult. is it not? >> well, that's exactly right, john, look, i think everyone up here on capitol hill on the democratic side was giving the president the benefit of the doubt when it came to covid relief. that is no longer the case. they are moving into a massive infrastructure plan and there are big disagreements right now over whether or not this should be one bill or two bills, whether or not the price tag is an appropriate price tag, there are progressives who want the number to be larger than $4 trillion. you have some moderates uncomfortable with the idea of a $4 trillion price tag. there's a lot of ground to try to come and bring members together right now and i think one of the challenges for the president on wednesday is not just selling his plans to the american people, but really selling them to the democratic caucus. you have law members working for decades on

and there was a time when pennsylvania avenue was open, when i covered the white house and then, of course, that all changed after an assault on the white house several times. several incidents. but the way after 9/11 everything changed, there was a time when i worked full-time at the capitol and i had a park place right there on the plaza between the east front and the supreme court. all the reporters did. and that all changed after 9/11. of course, the way access has been restricted to the people's house which is the way all of us whoever worked on the hill heard democratic and republican members, senators, speakers speak about the capitol. it is a beloved institution with such a great history and to see this now, a loss of life, only leads to more involvement by the national guard perhaps, more fencing. so these are all issues that i think about now and think about how congress will react. incredibly to me after january 6th, we still saw resistance from some of those who were besieged that day, some of those denying the reality and led by the former president donald trump and it was an
