this is what i did for statuary hall for the city of washington. there's another copy which i donated to the college of business at liam and mary in their new business school. this is the one that is in a government building in washington. this shows pierre lafond -- l'enfant. he took john trumbull up there, the painter. he has several paintings in the rotunda at the capital. he is pointing to the navy yard and looking toward georgetown. on his knee he has his map and his index finger is pointing to where they are on capitol hill and where they are going to put the capital. have you portrayed him -- sorry this is not a good photograph. there are a lot of bad drawings and paintings of the man, so nobody knows what he really looks like. the only accurate profile was done by the daughter of the governor of new jersey. there is no detail in the portrait. we can see his notes, forehead. his father, where he studied as well, his father was a professor in paris. a colleague of his father had done a drawing directly on his face. what i did was i took these

which was doneax by an italian sculptor who did work in the capital, the large ,agle relief in statuary hall not the carved history. time trying tof establish his profile so we can go from there. this is early stages. back to the three-quarter again. time trying to establish histhis is the portraf washington. i mentioned earlier that i thought that my own personal opinion -- washington does there are a lot of resemblance to the head of monroe. if you cover up with your fingers both of those sides you can look at it and see it a little bit. i wondered why they so prominently showed monroe's years all the time. in every picture you see monroe's years all the time. you see a portrait of him as a young man and he is wearing the style of. almost is not look like him. my theory is they always did this to distinguish, especially gilbert stuart, to distinguish between them. here you can see the usual treatment where they had his ears expose. he might have had unusually protuberant years. they are always prominently displayed. -- earcover up that year it could be washington. that was a little aside.

i'm standing in statuary hall in the house of representatives. he was down stairs in his first floor office, a parade of undecideds. the arm-twisting, the cajoling, the pressuring has gone on. you saw those two members marching down to the white house and walking out with that $8 billion commitment. now, despite all of that and despite kevin mccarthy telling me and other reporters just a few minutes ago, after he emerged from a gop leadership meeting behind me in the speakers' suite of offices here in the capitol, that they did have the votes to go forward. it's still going to be touch and go along the way tomorrow. not clear at all they have any kind of margin to play with, but they're going to go for it nonetheless. part of the political dynamic here, chris, is that it's hard to persuade a lot of these members in these marginal districts and some districts that aren't so marginal and yet like billy house, have problems with the pre-existing condition provision in this bill, to move forward and walk the political plank when they know it's going

in statuary hall. hopefully we start on the right track. i'm hoping. i'm praying.s great having you on. we'll be praying with you. thanks a lot, congressman. >> thank you. charles: there is this. more members of the gang ms-13 have been arrested in long island. how many have been arrested. liz: three gang members. this is in nassau, wesbury, they attacked a 19-year-old with a machete. two 19-year-olds are okay. this recent attack they're being charged with attempted murder, they shot at the 19-year-old as well. so it is a 26-year-old, 23-year-old, 18-year-old. two are brothers. they have now been arrested. i will tell you something, long island is destination. tens of thousands of these gang members are flooding in there. machete attacks and home invasions. trump administration cracking down. fed, state, local push to get these guys out. charles: just unbelievable. you could have not told me five years ago this would ever happen anywhere in america particularly long island. >>> coming up president trump heading to new york this afternoon. he will meet with the aust
