perhaps that already exists. given the number of city departments i think there's an opportunity to combine some agencies here . i think the smaller offices should be under a single umbrella agency on access diversity and equity. you can expand on that in the future.that idea would consolidate administrative functions allow program staff to work on programs and less on admin and overhead. if thatcan be done through the administrative code great, if it takes a charter amendment , -- to be add as a co-sponsor to the resolution. >> thank you. >> and, supervisor safai is it okay to close the hearing -- >> can i make one last comment in response to the callers? i wanted to thank dell preston and val and morris for calling in and our office will reach out to continue this dialogue. we have heard great things about the work that they are doing and in the community and with different stakeholders. so my office continue to work with the community steak holders and providers to address this need and we'll continue that conversation. so, again, just thank you to everyone and i know that this is long and i appreciate the c

number of new appointees that had come in the department of defense that were not equip to do their job, and transitions take time. even if they had not, perhaps they didn't know enough about how the department worked, and thus, they made some really bad judgment calls. i think that is being generous. but until we have all the facts that is a plausible scenario. the other scenario, that this was intentional. there was a scenario they were getting it get out of hand because they thought the president wanted thome do that or they were going for the marshal law declaration. it's not clear to me which it is. we need to hear from the people of the department of defense that either made the bad judgment call or were participating in something. >> we need a commission with subpoena power. >> can i just add -- >> sure. >> the real question here is what did they hope to game by delaying? did they think the extra hour or two would buy them an actual coup. we have not seen evidence of that but that ice the question that needs to be asked here. what did they think they were going to get away with? >> we need to commission. thank you both very much. have a

do you think that calculus changes at the second pass here as the justice department perhaps issues sedition charges? is it different for the common man than for the president of their party? >> listen. i think the republicans in congress are going to keep trying to look the other way. those images from that day will never go off the hard drives and i think they will have difficulty trying to just wave this into the past. let's turn the page. let's just focus on security at the capitol. i think a couple things would be important. if they can tie in the pipe bombs left as decoy. that is clear evidence of planning and who was involved in that and who knew about it? the planning itself, how wide was the circle of planning? who all were involved? were there any lawmakers in communication with any of these people carrying around zip ties and figuring out how to breach the line and left the speech early to accomplish that goal? that's what's going to make this come roaring back to the front pages again, assuming that these cases can be made. a question i have for katie, if we have time, where is t

perhaps they did not feel comfortable going to the hospital and then lost the opportunity to be connected to care. for others who were seeking care generally who may have just brought themselves to an emergency departmentrhaps they also felt uncomfortable because of covid. and we were all told to be at home and stay safe. for folks who were alone this could have been a trigger for them to keep using, and perhaps overdose. host: how does this affect the first responders? they are so many people working on the coronavirus pandemic. there were so many hospitals running out of emergency room space. how does the opioid epidemic and coronavirus pandemic coexist in those spaces. guest: when we really want people to have access to treatment. and the emergency department is in -- is not the best place to seek treatment and people felt more uneasy about going to an emergency department. that avenue towards treatment felt like it may be close to them. what is important is that the community treatments become available to people, and there were a number of barriers that restrict people from trying to get to treatment in their own communities. in the early times of covid, the trump administration had offered allowa

the department of justice is facing perhaps its largest investigation ever in the aftermath of the capitol insurrection with over 300 people facing charges and 100 more still to be charged. do you expect this investigation to intensify now that merrick garland has been confirmed, and do you have areas that you want them to particularly focus on? >> yes. i think that merrick garland being confirmed, hopefully anita gupta being confirmed, this is a really good team at the department of justice that understands that if we don't take on these insurrectionists, domestic terror, white supremacist groups -- if we don't take those threats seriously, and if we don't fully investigate, including, you know, what relationship members of congress may have had to some of these individuals -- >> so you're saying that some members of congress -- you're saying some members of congress ought to be part of what is investigated here? >> well, i think the department of justice is investigating the specific people who assaulted the capitol, the insurrectionists. but i also think they are looking at what ties th

perhaps. what is the first thing a police department does when they get a call like this? >> you respond. i mean, you have to activate your swat team. but the first responder is not going to be the swat team. it's going to be your officers that are there. i don't know about boulder, but most departments now have had active shooter training where they're trained to form up and go in to try to neutralize the threat as soon as possible. we learned that lesson from years ago, columbine, where police were waiting for swat. in the meantime, the active shooter was continuing to harm and kill people. so we don't wait any longer. you go in and you neutralize the threat to the best of your ability until swat and other support can get there. >> i want to bring in former fbi deputy director andy mccabe for your analysis, andy. i know it's the early stages but what can you tell us about what you're seeing on the ground there about the possible active shooter at a supermarket in boulder, colorado. >> pam, it has all the hallmarks of a chaotic, intense situation. one of the things we always tell ourselv

the fbi and department of justice has been conducting one. and perhapscriminal, criminal type of prosecution. so i think, you either way you look at it, the governor's time in office is numbered. i urge new yorkers continuing to joining me express themselves they want the governor to resign by signing on their name at enough cuomo.com. elizabeth: you know senior citizens families, seniors who died from coronavirus nursing homes say focus on that scandal. the sexual harrassment claims are who are rend does. but what is -- horrendous. what happens in 2states. the nurse being home executives were given blank immunity from lawsuits. governor cuomo led the way in giving blanket immunity. new jersey. tracking donations going to cuomo from the nursing home sector this covers up reckless endangerment what is happening in nursing homes. cuomo was excusing sexual harrassment allegations, this is a cultural thing. i kiss hundreds of people. my father mario cuomo was the same way. kissing women the same age as his daughter, trying to, this is the same mario cuomo wh

also a reminder that tomorrow is april 1, so perhaps any corporate news out of the marketing departmente with a grain of salt. anna: we will not cover any of it. we will not mention anything. our raters are finely tuned to other reporting on april 1, but that this comes from a marketing department and not on april 1 feels like a strange game to play. thank you, dani burger. looking at these markets, futures point to the downside. u.s. futures are fairly flat to negative. things might be looking brighter on the risk asset front. commodities are picking up a little bit. mark: i think that is the reason i left dani hanging. we are seeing nothing massive, not like there is big news, but the dollar was stronger earlier, now the dollar index is down slightly. yields have come back off their highs. equity markets pared their losses a little bit. i guess we saw good data in asia and in the u.k. maybe the fact that french cpi was a little softer. anna: it is easy to be distracted when the dollar loses those gains. 1.7% on the u.s. 10 year yield. i was looking at strong u.s. data as well, consume

they didn't understand the department maybe at the level they should have and perhaps you have the commandinglow them very nervous about upsetting these new political appointees. maybe it's just that. but there's so many questions that the american public deserve to have answered, whether there's actual malfeasance here, whether there's interest or plan to try to let the riot, let the insurrection unfurl to see if it might lead to a point where, you know, the president could declare martial law. after all, general flip's brother, michael flynn, suggested that's the way president trump could stay in office. it raises so many questions. and i go back to what michael steele said, it's really hard for the hearing, the congressional apparatus, to get at the truth. we need an independent commission with subpoena authority to dig into all of this. and we saw with the news reports out today, maybe the criminal investigation will lead us to that. it's not entire will he clear if everything that they did incorrectly was actually criminal, but if they did krosh that criminal threshold, hopefully that in

but it's a significant moment, and there was some, perhaps somewhat unexpected in terms of him departing the board. remember, he is a very large shareholder here but in the 30s-plus percent. by exiting the board by the way, it does enable him to potentially sell stock as well. >> i think it's important for people to realize what a titan this guy is, he has been with us forever. >> yes. >> and i know that he's caught up in the investigation, but he's got, you know, he said i thus view this as the ideal moment to step back and focus on my family and my wife debra's and my health issues and my many other interests, i think he's owed that statement. at the same time, the review that decker did found no criminal evidence with epstein but a total of 158 million for tax and estate planning to epstein? >> that raised some questions. that brought him attention by the way, black has always been, just not somebody that i ever got to know well at all, as opposed to the other gentleman we mentioned he's not, you know, he's always kept a much lower profile, but apollo has been one of the giants, has b

department we're not aware of. >> michael sherwin was also pressed on the former president's role in perhaps inciting the insurrection he could face any criminal charges. this is how he answered it. >> it's unequivocal that trump was the magnet that brought them to d.c. on the 6th. >> he didn't answer the second part. what's your answer to that? >> he said there's no question the president summoned them and incited them, but it comes down to the perspective of the people involved. some said, yes, they went to the capitol because the president told them too. that would be strong evidence of incitement on the president's part, but others said they feel he's responsible because he didn't go far enough to stop it. the fact that you do have some people who very clearly admit they went there and undertook those acts because they thought the president told them to, that for me seals the deal on incitement with respect to those folks. i've been saying from the beginning that i thought the president could very well be held responsible for inciting the crime of violence, that crime of violence being sedition. the question is d

department of justice, the federal coordinator. you think these initiatives are specific and concrete enough to perhaps make a difference?ber, in september, you put forward a resolution condemning anti-asian hate in congress. 164 of your republican colleagues voted against it, in the wake of what we've seen in atlanta and just yesterday. but really nationwide problem. have any of your republican colleagues reached out to you? >> a few of them have and i want to note it was a different congress and 14 republicans did support the resolution. going forward, we now are continuing to work on legislation. i am hopeful that republicans will join us on legislation that is called for by asian-americans in both republican and democratic parties. and, yes, a few of them have reached out. >> and what are some specifics that you think there can be bipartisan commitment to passing? >> well, some of these initiatives add on to what president biden announced yesterday. we want a more streamlined process and dedicated personnel at the department of justice. our local entities need more guidance and need more resources on how to analyze a

instigated by white supremacists, even the department of homeland security agreed that the greatest terrorist threat comes from these organized white nationalists. perhapshen remembering the insurrection on january 6th senator johnson has blocked out the chants of "hang mike pence" and the gallows that were set up on the national mall. luckily, senator johnson's constituents see through his racist misrememberings and are ready to hold him accountable. one madison woman was so incensed by his conduct around the insurrection investigation that her obituary asked for donations for johnson's 2022 opponent instead of flowers. but sadly, senator johnson has never had the courage of his convictions and the courage of conviction that his 81-year-old constituent had, and he doesn't have the integrity to stand by his mealy mouthed statements. he's been hinting helmeted retire rather than face the music in a re-election campaign. as you know, senator johnson, that's probably for the best. the people of wisconsin deserve better than your shoddy leadership. just know when your political career ends, history will remember you more accurately than you remembered the e

policies so it's not just four sessions, perhaps, for free, maybe we're talking about eight or 12 sessions being provided. we're building in a culture within our departmentsin our spaces, to say mental health days off are not only just provided but they're encouraged. so en masse we're giving more days, we're thinking about how do we prioritize something without having to go through a number of written responses or things that we need to do for the protocol. how do we just ensure that you're taking that day and that time for yourself? i would say not only for essential workers is that important but we should be doing that in all spaces, like i do with my students, to say if you need the day, take it, you don't have to talk with me about it, take it, we all need this time right now. >> all great advice, dr. anderson, thank you so much. stick around, so much more straight ahead. in a clinical test, 100% of women showed reduction of wrinkles, even deep ones. new revitalift night serum with pure retinol from l'oréal paris. recently, total wireless helped charli michelle stage a virtual dance recital with the new iphone 12 with faster-than-fast 5g. unlimited p

analysis of recent state department health data shows four large counties have received many fewer by population than counties much smaller. perhaps you are one those people who has woken up at 5:00 a.m. and spent hours on the internet waiting for a slot to open up. but in all the chaos, there is one pocket of the country where getting a vaccine is more like the infamous oprah free car giveaway. >> you get a car, you get a car, you get a car! everybody gets a car! >> you can get a vaccine if you are a county resident over the age of 18, you can walk up to a clinic without an appointment and get your covid-19 vaccine. pretty simple. and no, they are not by passing the cdc recommendation of the most vaulnevulnerable first, th already checked that box and then became the first to open up vaccines to the general population. so what is their secret? joining me now to discuss is the mayor of globe, arizona a town in that county. mayor, what can the rest of the country learn from what you've been doing? >> i think it all started with creating a partnership and cooperation, you know, those relationships from the very beginning. we were on

perhaps. it should also be noted two women of color named by president biden to be other senior officials in the justice departmentking under the attorney general designate merrick garland. two women that have attracted rabid attacks from republicans at this point. we will see what happens to their nominations as merrick garland seems to be moving forward. we will see if joe manchin decides he does not like them for some reason. at the justice department we will have more on the burning wreckage that all of the biden appointees will be walking into at the justice department and the challenge ahead with the prosecutions related to the capitol attack. an interesting and surprise announcement about who will be taking a key job in the biden justice department that will have an important relationship to the january 6 arrests and prosecutions and to a bunch of the cases that ended up in weird legal limbo. a new appointee announced today for a key part of the justice department who will have that mess to clean up. we will have more on that later on this hour. the new defense secretary in the biden administration, you wil

more of the election fraud and how perhaps different individual states change their voting procedures and not go into their state legislature. those two issues the departmentno oversight on. so i think it's important to know what they say at the time. >> there's a difference between systems and foreign interference and fraud. there were two different lawsuits before the election on the rule changes that went into the state legislatures after there were more than 60 republicans and also there was no widespread fraud. what was your reaction? >> i have not seen any information, any data that said that the election would have turned out differently, but i think what the president has talked about and what i think the vast majority of americans see that there is some fraud inherent in our voting system and it needs to be addressed before the next mid-term and certainly before the next presidential election. >> i don't know if it's fair to say that a vast majority believes there's fraud inherent in the system. the percentage of fraud based on i believe heritage database is less than 0.001%. >> again, i think you -- two different issues here. so we have the fraud

perhaps that already exists. given the number of city departments i think there's an opportunity to combine some agencies here . i think the smaller offices should be under a single umbrella agency on access diversity and equity. you can expand on that in the future.that idea would consolidate administrative functions allow program staff to work on programs and less on admin and overhead. if thatcan be done through the administrative code great, if it takes a charter amendment , -- to be add as a co-sponsor to the resolution. >> thank you. >> and, supervisor safai is it okay to close the hearing -- >> can i make one last comment in response to the callers? i wanted to thank dell preston and val and morris for calling in and our office will reach out to continue this dialogue. we have heard great things about the work that they are doing and in the community and with different stakeholders. so my office continue to work with the community steak holders and providers to address this need and we'll continue that conversation. so, again, just thank you to everyone and i know that this is long and i appreciate the c

perhaps or definitely far more dangerous, because you add race in. >> when we're talking about the firm, we're talking about the family business of the royal family. >> it's sort of "west wing" world, isn't it? five departmentshousehold. the private secretary, the keeper of the purse, he deals with money. the master of the household who looks after staff. and the houses the queen uses as head of state. the lord chamberlain's office, responsible for all the ceremonial we see the queen involved with,carriages, intera army to deliver state occasions that we saw, for instance, at harry and meghan's wedding. then finally, the royal collection. because the queen is guarding, on our behalf, the most phenomenal art collection. >> you get the palaces and tiaras and the outfits. but you are on public display. you are a public servant. the queen gave up her life for her duty. >> reporter: that sense of duty vividly portrayed in the netflix series "the crown." the queen must preserve the monarchy above all else. >> in order to make the marriage work, they were encouraged to focus on the bigger idea. duty. >> to really be able to put duty before family, it means that emotions, empathy, anything in that space, really has

activity, or the state department acting on executive order, these appear that they are being tough on china, and this is what the biden administration wants to show americans. perhaps give the biden administration a little leeway to start actually talking about issues and to start trying to come to some common understanding with the chinese. and of course, there is the idea of negotiating, building up your leverage before you start the negotiation. most of these things are to show strength and domestic politics in the u.s. >> we have heard from sources that perhaps we could see china asking for the united states for a summit coming around the earth day. which areas of cooperation are there that could be the lowering that's the lowest hanging fruit? bill: the pandemic might be a nice place to start since we do not agree on how it started. we do agree that the chinese have managed it much better than the americans have, but some cooperation on the pandemic. cooperation on future health care issues, cooperation on new energy, cooperation on climate change. these are areas we could work together to come together for a better result for ourselves and for the rest of the

state department covid-19 investigator david asher charged in to looking at this explains why he thinks a bio weapons research accident was perhapse of covid-19. he will explain in just a moment. first, greg palkot from london. hi, greg. >> yeah, it's being described by world health organization chief as an important beginning but not an end. many think that that is an understatement. results of a four-week study in china by who backed international and chinese scientists were officially unveiled today. they did come up with a most likely theory that intermediate animals spread it from a bat to a human. they don't know what the animal is. they left other possibilities like the one of the disease being carried on frozen food at the market in wuhan. that is one of the chinese officials favorite ideas or might have originated outside of china. in an unusual statement, the who chief said scientists had difficulty accessing raw data from the chinese and he expected more comprehensive data sharing to come. the scientists team leader said that politics was always in the air. take a listen. >> of course, there was a lot of interest from

department build the case. the court of appeals brought it back to the district court. the district court did not act on it. i think perhapsict court realized when they went up to t court of appeals, there were going to lose. so they just stop. ultimately got mohamedou ould slahi out to something else obama created, review board. it had to be unanimous. that took another six years. amy: mohamedou is onof 770 men and boys held at guantÁnamo for this last almost 20 years. eight of them have been convicted of crimes. three of those convictions were overturned. the vast majority of people, including mohamedou, were never charged and yet the government now is spending something like $500 million to maintain this prison a year? >> sorry, amy. you cut out. amy: the government is spending around 500 million dollars to maintain the present a year? ok, let me go to mohamedou ould slahi himself. he is joining us from mauritania, imprisoned at guantanamo for nearly 14 years without being charged with a crime. in moment, we will talk about the film, major feature film, that has just been released about you, mohamedou. welcome to democr

calling on the justice department to probe the fbi's 2018 background check of supreme court justice brett kavanaugh, which senator whitehouse says was "politically-constrained and perhapsfake." justice kavanaugh was accused by christine blasey ford of sexually assaulting her when they were both teenagers, as well as several other allegations of sexual misconduct. but the fbi failed to interview blasey ford and others who came forward during their investigation. senator whitehouse is also raising questions about brett kavanaugh's history of substantial personal debt, which seemingly vanished shortly before donald trump nominated him to the supreme court. as investigations continue into the deadly january 6 u.s. capitol insurrection, a 16-year-old testified in a court hearing for her father, a texas three percenter who allegedly set up a security company to circumvent gun laws. after the riot, guy reffitt threatened to kill his two teenage children if they reported him, saying "traitors get shot." his daughter testified against him. here in new york, going on strike after two years of unsuccessful negotiations with the prestigious college over their union's first contrac

perhaps be a landmark step. >> pete, let me ask you about one of the individuals whose name has obviously drawn some attention, a former state department administration, fred rico kline, what more can you tell us about his role in all of this, and how the legal proceedings against him are proceeding, and why it is notable? >> well, he was a government employee the day that this happened. he was a low level state department employee, a low level campaign aide for the trump campaign, so he was on the federal payroll on the day of the capitol riots. and the government had sought public health in identifying him. he was charged with a scramble with the police trying to get into the capitol and he was detained and initially objected to his detention, the judges ordered him to continue to be detained and there was supposed to be a hearing on that today, but that was on the original charge. he's now been indicted. so that hearing will have to be rescheduled after he's arraigned on the indictment. but he's still being, he's still being held here in the dc jail, and you may remember, when he had his initial hearing, on detention, he said, you k

rishaad: perhaps the most important reaction, speaking globally, has got to be the state department.ay after antony blinken, secretary of state, said that the relationship between the united states and china was the defining one for this century. how are they going to be looking at it? michael: i think beijing accepts that same premise. the two sides are looking at this for a rivalry for global leadership, and to some extent, systemic competition. china feels less comfortable saying that openly. for a number of reasons. but i think the premise of this relationship right now is competition for global influence. absolutely, that is the name of the game. haslinda: michael hirson. now, let's get the first word headlines. fed chair jerome powell says he will be consigned by disorderly markets, but stop short of concrete action to rein in rising long-term interest rates. he told the wall street journal webinar there's a lot left to do before the economy heals, signaling no policy tightening is on the horizon. treasuries extended losses and inflation expectations reached new highs. >> i wou
