peter: gopal. gopal: quickly, i would add, supplement what they said about fcc, there was a bunch of group of democratic female lawmakers, just wrote a letter to president biden, asking him to nominate rosenwhistle as permanent chairwoman of the fcc. if she gets that, she would be the first woman to head that federal body. and rosenwhistle, in addition to what ashley and emily pointed at, in terms of broadbent equity that she's been focused on, she's also been fairly focused on the lopsided priorities of the trump administration when it came to 5g options. she recalled the trump administration did a series of auctions on what they called the high band 5g, which rosenwhistle was objecting to because she said it was one, expensive, two, it wouldn't reach a cross-section of american consumers. and she wanted to focus more on the medium band, so to speak, that many other countries have done. if she gets that top slot, it's more likely to focus on the aspect. peter: we're going to go right on the line,

in 1795, 17-year-old martha married thomas peter, eldest son of georgetown's first mayor robert peter. in 1805, thomas and martha purchased the tudor place property asking their friend to design a suitable house for the 8 1/2 acre property. this is the presentation that he provided to the family and found in the after chive. -- in the archive. this is a good time to mention that thomas and martha peter were ardent federalists, one possible reason why they had the names of columbia, america, and britannia on their three daughters. unlike her older sisters, britannia was educated locally in georgetown, spending four years at the young ladies academy at the convent, the school is known as georgetown visitation. in 1842, britannia married beverly kennon, a naval officer who was command dent of the washington navy yard. tragically, their marriage was 16 months. during those 16 months, before tanya gave birth to the couple's only child, martha, who she called markie who was only 4 months old at the time of commodore kennon's death. newly widowed, they returned to tudor place to live with br

peter: good evening. and welcome to "washington week." i'm peter baker. this week washington combrapled with two ongoing crises, the covid-19 pandemic and the fallout of the insurrection against the united states congress and the peaceful transfer of power. law he fomplet officials testified with more details about what happened on january 6. and in his confirmation hearing attorney general nominee merrick garland discussed the threats this country faces. peer are some of what we saw this week. >> i will supervise the prosecution of white supremacists and others who storm the capitol on janry 6. >> how could you not get that vital intelligence on the eve of what's foge to be a major event? >> what? thank you, sir. i know that's something that's going to be lookedt. >> do you believe that what happened, the breach of the capitol, do you believe that's foreseeable and predictable? >> no, i don't. >> the department was not ignorant of intelligence indicating an attack of the size and scale we encountered on the sixth. there was no such intelligence. peter: a

peter: it is a possibility. at the strength of the relief packages, in addition to the different methodology of how relief is provided. the stage of the nonresponse is substantially different. if something like that $1.9 trillion package is passed, it will wind up with a forceful reaction in the united states relative to continental europe and u.k. i believe that will show better results for the u.s. you have to play through the consequences. while other economies catch up to the faster pace. guy: next in line seems to be an infrastructure program. to what extent will that be a boost for the u.s. labor market? how do we invest in the right things and has the effect of taking people up and allowing them retrain? move into broadband or 5g or whatever technology we want to invest in. how do we best move into that dual lane? peter: we are at an opportune moment for a large investment program what does. first what has happened is that investment in infrastructure spending has become procyclical. it goes down when the

peter: thank you so much. you and officials have told the un security council that yemen is hurtling toward the worst famine the world has seen in decades. this and amid a renewed offensive by houthi rebels. our diplomatic editor reports now from the united nations. reporter: the news from yemen is about as grim as it gets. these pictures from the eight, save the children, of a seven month old. the u.s. says he is one among ace bag ring 400 thousand children under five years of age who is seriously malnourished and at risk of dying from starvation. >> famines are very unusual in the world. there's only been one in the last 20 years and a quarter million somalis lost their lives in 2011. what would happen over the next several months is something the world hasn't seen for 40 years, something i quite literally thought was unimaginable, but it will happen unless different action is taken now. reporter: the u.n. special envoy told the security council the situation on the ground is the most tense he has seen since

peter: definitely domestic.nk people are still not sure what is going to take to go international, what they will have to do, what will be allowed. again, there is a fear of -- let's say an american loves going to europe in the summer. what will i be able to do, will i be able to wear a mask? there are still a lot of unknowns. that is why it has more to do with people's confidence in what they may experience that it does with whether they can go. yes, it is still a highly domestic. now the industry can rebound from where it is while still being domestic, so i don't think we are stuck here until international comes back. it is just a question of when international comes back and everything is fully open. we are all looking forward to that. guy: what are you seeing in europe? it looks like it will be difficult for americans to fly over here, but within europe, what is the picture? peter: as you remarked, europe recently has been much more locked down there the u.s. for a variety of reasons, it's been less controll

at they have done so but size me based on these cattle and anticipate his sentiment on to abstain peter the fact that pro independence parties have won more than 50 percent of the vote for the 1st time how significant is that. well i think it's it's very important and i think it's mainly a confirmation of the fact that there's strong sentiment in the town and society to to to gain a lot more self control or even independence i think that's an important political fact and we should really abandon all pretense that this would not be existant or that this would actually only be a fringe movement i mean it is very very present in qatar and yeah but secondly i think we also or any solution would need to appreciate that no matter how you look at it a sizable minority at least people living in constant linea are against independence so. i always say to reconcile that the obvious solution is switzerland which is a very successful decentralized country and i think the spanish government maybe they should not in voice dismiss governments to actually mediate which this was government post a few ye

peter: levi sumagaysay? levi: sure, i wanted to follow up on that a little, talking about your personal experience. first of all, i know your experience informs what you are doing with project include, but i also wanted to know if you are facing or did face for a while lingering effects from speaking up and from filing the lawsuit? ellen: it was rough. it was very, very rough in the beginning. i think somebody on the kleiner side leaked it to the press so i was blindsided by coming out publicly, but they also launched a massive pr campaign. they had an outside firm working that basically portrayed me as the way many companies do. they portray the people who are suing or raising these issues as political performers, complainers, a problem in the company, and as bad actors, so you bring up these problems and they don't want to address the problems so they attacked the messenger. there was an article that i've since talked to the reporter about, but said basically because nobody had ever heard of these problems

peter, thank you for joining us. election of 1800, those of us who study history remember jefferson's words of being republicans, but it was a contested election. can you tell us what was difficult about the election of 1800? peter: everything. everything was difficult. i think a good place to begin is with the idea of what was it? how did people experience it? if you use the trendy expression of real-time, things were happening in real-time. i do not want to talk about recent events of course, but what would real-time be in 1800? 1801 is when the rubber hits the road. real-time's local time. there is no mediation. we have no social media and so we now campaign forever. they voted forever. the election of 1800 took many months and took place in the various states. another thing i want to point out is the electoral college was not controversial because it was part of the grand bargain, which was the federal constitution. if you believed in anything that would hold the country together, it was the constitution and the

i'm now going to go to prime minister peter wood. -- president peter wood. who's -- you're still muted, i think. >> i'm going to master this wonderful technology. thank you, david, and thank you, each, bob -- ian, bob and phil. let me acknowledge right away bob's gracious tribute to me. i was very dependent in writing this book on a range of historians. i myself am not a historian. i'm an anthropologist, and i stand outside this field with some awe and appreciation of what historians do. is so let me say right away that what this book represents is a act of synthesis in which i try to take account of what many historians were saying. not necessarily just historians on the side of being severe critics of the 619 project -- 1619 project, but as many people as i could reach who came to me who were knowledgeable and who could contribute to what i wanted to provide which was an assessment of this project that would be something that people who are themselves not historians, but general readers would want to dip into. to those who don't have the time to read throu

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle according to a new gallup poll over 60 percent of those asked are dissatisfied with the 2 major parties the country is divided politically but the parties themselves are divided within edge of this the fact most voters do not belong to either party is it finally time to move on from this diwali. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guests gloria laurie but in san francisco she was a 2020 presidential candidate of the party for socialism and liberation and the peace and freedom party in pasadena we have great job to what he is the co-host and co-creator of the independent media show congo couch and in austin we have wes benedict he is former executive director of the liberation party across up roles in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i was appreciated ok let's go to san francisco gloria you heard my introduction here why do you think over 60 percent of people are dissatisfied with the 2 major parties because we keep hearing the country is equally divided. and that's a

peter: sure, maria.e, i probably drafted over 50 of these orders which you have to do is make sure you have the statutory authority to do which you're going to do and the last box that needs to be done is that the department of justice, what's called form and legally, here is the news behind the news, bill barr, president trump's attorney general actually turns out to be also joe biden's first attorney general. here is what was happening, we had over 30 executive orders cued after election day ready to go but we kept running into all of these road blocks and hurdles. it turns out that bill barr's office of legal counsel was fast tracking all of the eo's and it was a deep state coup. this has the implications and i will tell you one that got away from us and one that biden did. the first one that biden did is obamination and prevented chinese to sell bulk power into electric grid. they are more likely to pull down electricity grid using cyber-attacks than they are to say drop a bomb on us. that's modern-w

i hope peter would agree. >> charlotte, you also bear a lot of yourself in the book.the narrative of your own life runs parallel to the narrative of the case. i i can't imagine that was easyo be as honest as you were. can you talk about that decision a little bit? >> yes your first, i will avoid that question by saying that the story is not just about the friendship with peter but my tremendous respect for him and joe hall and the amount of work that they did. i knew that i had fussed over the case but they also brought decades of experience comes to o working with the two of them was transformative and actually really, really helped me deal with what was happening in my life. because i was learning how to channel it. yes, it was terrifying to talk about the personal aspects. but again i have come to believe it is really important to sort of lift the curtain on the reality of prosecution, the reality of crime, the reality of the so-called worklife balance which i think is, you know, as one friend said it is no worklife, just work life choices. it was hard. i asked my

. >> thank you very much, chairman peters and good morning. thank you to our witnesses for being here today for this first joint hearing of the rules committee and the homeland security and government affairs committee. as we work to conduct oversight into what happened in the lead up enduring the horrific event of january 6. thank you to chairman peters and also rank a member portman as well as my good friend senator blunt who i look forward to continue working with on the rules committee and this congress. i think it is important to note that we planned this entire hearing on a bipartisan basis. that is because the stakes are so high and we want this and i say this to our witnesses as well, who are all appearing here voluntarily and i think it's important for the members to know that and we thank them for doing that. we want this to be as constructive as possible because in order to figure out the solutions so this does not happen again we must have the facts and the answers are in this room. when an angry violent mob staged an insurrection

in particular your relationship with your colleague peter. can you talk about the many miles the 2 of you have traveled? >> guest: peter, who heard an early draft of the book, was kind enough and unsurprisingly for his character brave enough to tell me and this is literally what he told me, you are allowed to talk about what we have and that and so much. i think that the level of respect and friendship i have for peter now is not only from having been in the trenches together with joe, stephanie, the brave witnesses who came forward but also comes from having had to but heads a little bit and talk about it. we had a remarkable number of discussions, preparation for the trial. why can't we agree on anything and we had a lot of disagreements but our style is so complementary. i tended to overstretch beyond what was absolutely necessary to prove the case and peter, who actually tried few homicides before but many homicides before would bring me back and this is what we need to focus on, this is what matters and that is absolutely essential so to

clementine: peter, and then jaclyn. any final thoughts? peter, you are on mute. peter: how many of these do i have to do before i can figure out how to unmute? going in a slightly different direction, i have nothing to add to what david and chris said. how does the government use the money that frank is talking about allocating to state-level public health? infrastructure funding defined as investment in technology and you've got to have security at the state and local level -- otherwise, it is very problematic in terms of protecting data, and then that includes buildings, labs, enhanced surveillance capacity, testing, contact tracing, and woeful staffing needs, public health nurses, for example. we have way, way too few in the pandemic. we need, to chris's points, we need enhanced analytic capabilities at the local level. right now, health departments cannot even tell us what works. how to measure the value of public health services. that has to be ramped up. we need to fund the community level grants and public health under the aca. all those things will streng

thank you to chairman peters. also ranking member portman as well as my good friend senator blunt who i look forward to continuing to work with on the rules committee in this congress. i think it's important to note that we planned this entire hearing on a bipartisan basis. that's because the stakes are so high and we want this -- and i say this to our witnesses as well who are all appearing here voluntarily, i think it's important for the members to know that, and we thank them for doing that. we want this to be as constructive as possible because in order to figure out the solutions so this doesn't happen again, we must have the facts, and the answers are in this room. when an angry violent mob staged an insurrection on january 6th and desecrated our capitol, the temple of our democracy, it was not just an attack on the building, it was an attack on our republic itself. we are here today to better understand what was known in advance, what steps were taken to secure the capitol and what occurred that day because

thank you chairman peters. chairman klobuchar and ranking member blunt for the constructive comment this is morning. in this business you often finish like you start. and i appreciate the fact that we're starting this review by taking the politics out -- out t so get to the bottom of what happened. i want to start by expressing my gratitude to the men and women of law enforcement, secret service and national guard and metropolitan police department, the fbi and all of the law enforcement agencies who put their safety on the line to safeguard democracy on january 6th. as i said in the senate floor that night, it was thanks to them that vice president pence, members of congress, staff and the capitol complex work force were protected and we were able to complete our constitutional duty of certifying the election. it was important in my view that we sent a clear message that night to our constituents and to the world that we would not be intimidated, that the mob would not rule here. that that message could not be

peter, i'd like to begin with you. a lawyer, but lawyers tell me there is a test in high school that they call the "but for" test. meaning, but for in this case, but for the actions of donald trump, would there have been insurrection and looting at our capitol? that's one of the questions the senate is now deciding. the defense attorneys are firm in their resolve the president did not incite this. that differs with what we heard from prominent republicans in the days and the hours right after insurrection. i'll play a sample of that for you. we'll discuss on the other side. >> the mob was fed lies. they were provoked by the president and other powerful people. >> all i can say is count me out. enough is enough. >> mr. president, you have got to stop this. you are the only person who can call this off. >> the president bears responsibility for wednesday's attack on congress. >> so, peter baker, add to this the new reporting on what we know went on in the phone call between mccarthy and trump, and that really adds to the

peter: i think we should worry about it.ight now, we have what we have continued to have for the last two or three years which is negative real rates. if you look at the 10 year rate and you subtract out whatever your estimate is for inflation, you have negative interest rates. negative interest rates are very strong for stock markets and we are seeing the effects of that year it to your rates are going up. more importantly, what is going -- what is happening to inflation? as the job market heels and we come out of the pandemic, the amount of stimulus that the u.s. government is going to put into the economy is likely to be north of $5 trillion. the fed's balance sheet has doubled from $4.3 trillion the almost $7 trillion. that cannot happen without affecting inflation. as inflation rises, real rates can turn positive and that will be an impact on those stocks that are overvalued as a result of negative interest rates. that is going to happen. kailey: the argument of the vine that administration is that you cannot go too big

why not another proposal as peter was saying.ution like switzerland has for independence, or a federation. there are many solutions. we have to have a proposal from the spanish and catalonian governments. if we do not talk, as people what they want, even though this is not within the constitution. if you want a solution, you have to find a way to talk and find i solution. -- find a solution. if not, it will stay on the table forever. anchor: i want to ask you, what is the response to the results of these selections from the rest of the country -- rest -- these elections from the rest of the country? >> to peter's comment, it is different in terms of seats in the parliament. the pro-independence caucus has one more than the majority, a little bit more. in terms of votes, at the end, a small turnout around 53% means that only 25% of the people in the census, in catalonia, the people able to vote have voted. one of the lessons of these results i think is it cannot be taken as -- every election in catalonia has intended to be [indisc

peters: well, thank you. and i know in our past conversations we have talked, and i mentioned in my opening comments your focus on transparency and how we need to make sure that we are as as transparent as possible. and in the c.a.r.e.s. act i worked closely with senator johnson to create detailed reporting requirements, regulated transparency in the pandemic relief spending that we're seeing. so i would certainly hope that you would lean in heavily on that issue so that the american taxpayers have faith in how money is being spent for their best interest. ms. tanden: absolutely, senator. and i will just briefly say that i very much appreciate and welcome the oversight role of this committee. and i appreciate information is important for oversight. and so not just on c.a.r.e.s. act expenditures or covid-19, but on information this committee is seeking i will be a willing partner, and if there are, as i've said to various senators in my meetings, if there are challenges with getting information, i will call yo
