she'll be joining me along with sheila jackson lee of texas in a bit. threats and violence are as best we can tell becoming more commonplace in politics. in a recent "new york times" piece, debbie dingell, democrat from michigan, said she was threatened by men with assault weapons outside her home after she was denounced by tucker carlson on his fox new chose. she also shared a portion of a voice mail, one of hundreds of threats. saying quote, they ought to try you for treason. i hope your family dies in front of you. i hope if you have children they die in your face. earlier this year, the capitol police backed up with data what has seemed to be the case, which is that there has been a 107% increase, a doubling in the threats against members year over year compared to 2020. a doubling. and of course, threats, people leaving voice mails, showing up outside your home, showing up with guns in the michigan state house, as they did last year, quite famously, it's not all abstract. i mean, now it comes in the aftermath of january 6th. the day that paul gosar

and congresswoman sheila jackson lee, texas'18th congressional district in the u.s. house of representatives. she was co-sponsor of the resolution. congresswoman speier let me just start with. you because we played a clip of you mentioning that she had been a victim of violence. you had witness violence firsthand. and it may be worthwhile just talking about that bad experience and how that informed how you think about the resolution you introduced on the floor of the capitol today. >> thank you chris for having us. on i was shot five times for dead in the jungles of diana, when i was in the -- who was assassinated. because jim jones on is called had chosen to take the action that the. did having said that, there is someone who has been convicted in california for having sent me another of postcard saying they wanted to put a bullet in my. head this is the kind of conduct that we have got to shut down. and this resolution was important because we have to draw a red line in the conduct of members when they are suggesting that they murdered a colleague. so censure was a

sheila jackson lee, the congresswoman, responds on twitter quote the answer is yes. let's pass the president's agenda and invest in the american people. that was today. and now, here we are and suddenly the answer is no. what do you think happened, secretary rice? where they changed their mind? >> wait a minute. no, what the progressives are saying is we want to do exactly what the president said. the president said i want votes on both of these today. you know, if -- this is -- i mean, look at the senate, for example. i mean, the president has asked joe manchin, over and over again, and also kyrsten sinema, over and over again, to get onboard with what the president wants. and they are not doing it. the democrats are always in large kind of tumultuous group. i mean, you know, to -- to -- to simply assume that if the progressives say, well, we want to change the timing and joe biden says, well, i'd like you to -- i'd like both of these to be voted on today. and the progressives said yes, we want to vote on both of them today. but then, they're not ready. the moderate

since the study was released it was organized by congresswoman sheila jackson lee who asked the state to study the cancer routes and kashmir gardens of the 5th ward in the early 20. 19. i don't want to be full of badness, but i do want to say that this is serious. some way. i know that we now have been a big baby in some way. now someone or someone got sick or something, but we have all been affected in some way on other bodies. and if we don't stick together, we're not gonna make why everybody is here. well intentioned, to help find out the answer. we've been waiting a long time nationally renowned environmental activist erin brockovich was also there to support the community. so tonight, where everyone is here, could i hear from you? are you frustrated? are you getting an sir? oh, who in this room has cancer or knows of someone that lives here that have cancer is in normal. i don't know what else we have to tell you. and they need to know that the community wants union pacific to clean the contaminated groundwater clue and compensate people for the pollution in the neighborhood. i,

sheila jackson, lee, h r 127 was put in again this year to create a gun registry. so the federal government, on its own, through executive power has absolutely no business creating a gun registry, whether they're doing it on the slide or they're doing it intentionally. and in our face, well, considering we have seen it's rash, an uptake over the past the years i've gone by, especially in schools, you know, they are powerful weapons. we all have to respect that. what is the danger? what are, what are gun rights advocates fearful of having a list of who has what? i mean? do you not trust your government? isn't that the argument you really think the government, whatever, turn on you? yes, of course. of course, we would agree think the governor would turn on if the government turns on us every single day, every single day. there's a new example in it's a bite administration of the government turning on us, look at what they did with project veritas. they, they rated the, the offices and the homes of james o'keefe and his employees. they took, they talk with their own g

among those in attendance was representative sheila jackson lee.i think it's important that the answers come to the families as quickly as possible. i think that whatever resources that we can provide to ensure that the layers of participants are thoroughly investigated, what should be our goal for this to never happen again? don't day joy and turn it into something else. >> reporter: i want to show you a little bit of a time line we're receiving from the houston fire department just to show you how long this went on that day. as early as 9:20 in the morning there were people breaching barricades in multiple locations. the venue gates actually didn't open until 10:00 a.m., but you could see before that, they were already requesting medical help for several individuals. and continuing throughout the day you see other reports of 100 people at a time, 150 people at a time rushing different gates. by 5:00 p.m. we're seeing that 26,000 people were screened through security, but there were a good 3,000 to 5,000, they said, that were actually not scanned.

>> joining me now, democratic senator sheila jackson lee. thank you for coming in.rategy this morning, adding paid leave back into the package. is the strategy now to put this on at joe manchin's feet? because he's already said and said again he doesn't support having paid leave in this bill. >> well, i'm ecstatic, kate, and thank you so much for having me. i spent yesterday sending messages to the white house, chief of staff, and to our senators expressing my interest. i am very glad of the work that senator gillibrand has been doing. i am a strong advocate for the family paid leave, and the reason, of course, is the american people are strong advocates. over 82% of african-americans in particular support the family paid leave. how are we a civilized country and a leader in climate change, as the president is speaking in glasgow, and we cannot compete internationally on how we treat our people, our citizens, americans who are desperately in need of taking care of family members? i believe this is an important step forward. i also believe in senator manchin's call f

today, we were at the service for rodriguez where we met with congresswoman sheila jackson lee talkingning about this young person at the service. >> this is an incident that has touched our souls. our hearts are broken, but our souls have been touched for those who will be buried in these days and weeks to come. one broken family after another to know this community will rally around them. and we won't leave them. i think that whatever resources that we can provide to ensure that the layers of participants are thoroughly investigated, what should be our goal? for this to never happen again? >> and earlier, we were talking about the fire department's log of information. the descriptions of people rushing fences and people getting crushed, that was happening throughout the day. not just in the evening. we saw that log starting from the morning hours. this was a 12 plus hour situation when medics being called throughout the day. so the police, you can actually hear in an audio clip they released as well. this is from the evening hours talking about how dangerous the conditions became. >>

congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas is here.ressive caucus. also with us, fatima goss graves, president and ceo of the national women's law center and errin haines, editor of the 19th. i can't think of a better panel for this. congresswoman, i just have to ask, up front, when you talk to your constituents, what are they saying about this texas law? what are they saying has changed in their lives and is it depressing people or galvanizing them against the oppressive policies they're seeing out of the governor? >> first of all, i'm delighted to be with these wonderful co-presenters and as well delighted to be with you. they are egregiously engaged and activated but they are engreejsly depressed, certainly for those young women and others who have to face the trauma of being rejected by their ob/gyn, not wanting to be rejected but because of this egregiously unconstitutional law. you know, it has been reported that 33% of the maternal mortality deaths will come about in african-american women. 15% overall. so, they face death if th

representative alexandria ocasio-cortez hugged sheila jackson lee, another progressive.emocrats, even though the reality is that it's not done yet. it has to go to the senate, and where it will be changed and it could come back to the house in a different version. but for now, this is a very big moment for the democratic party, and a very big moment for speaker pelosi. you know, many think that this is her last term as speaker, this is her last term in the house of representatives, and this is legacy building for her. this is something that these measures are things that she has been trying to do for many many years throughout her career, and she was able to do it. she was able to unify her party, and she got the votes, and she got it done, chris. >> yeah, and i mean, i was in virginia for five, six days, and obviously this all came both this and the infrastructure bill came too late for terry mcauliffe and a lot of democrats in virginia, but clearly one of the things that a lot of folks said when i talked to them going into the polls was the democrats had not delivered.

. >> congresswoman sheila jackson lee on the threats of violence coming from members of congress, and the importance of democrats' vote yesterday to censure and remove republican paul gosar from his committee assignments actions to make up for the violent rhetoric his party not only allowed but will be using as a way to govern. joining us, the house impeachment manager during donald trump's second impeachment trial. i want to ask you your feelings in the body and personally about yesterday's censure vote? >> i feel that members of congress don't want to censure their colleagues. that's not something that individuals should revel in. i think there was a great degree of sub dewed nature on the part of the democrats in the democratic party having to go through this. but of course we have to have reverence for this body, for the house it self. that means that members have to conduct themselves in a certain manner. the fact that we even have to go through magneto meertsds right now because of threats to members of congress, because of the concern that we have that members do not lieutenant

i want to just thank representative sheila jackson lee for aingeoring this -- anchoring this important conversation with the american people today. i really -- one of the things that's been disturbing me about this entire debate is that people seem to really want to make some sort of bright line, demarcation or differential between the bipartisan infrastructure bill that will create economic opportunities, get rid of those lead pipes, expand broadband, great good union jobs, help create some great jobs for guys. and that in the build back better initiative, as if that is some sort of welfare, a giveaway, social spending is what it's referred to. a safety net. and so what i wanted to seek from you, a clarification from you, mr. horsford, is particularly since you were appointed by the committee on ways and means, along with our colleagues, representatives sewell and gomez, to look at our racial equity issue, of course we know that african-americans, latinos are more likely to be poor, have greater wealth gap, lack of educational opportunity. so we think that we are investing in their im
