so that's a different event than what happened at the united states capital. pleased that the rally, hours before the attack on the capital, that it was peaceful in all respects as far as i know. host: one of the underlying themes, he heard the preference -- president talk about joe biden's legitimacy as president. is joe biden the legitimate president in your mind? guest: no biden has been sworn in. he is the president of the united states. host: you can call and ask questions on (202) 748-8000 free democrats. (202) 748-8001 republicans. (202) 748-8002 independents. text us at (202) 748-8003. when it comes to security at the capitol, what has to change to prevent these kind of instances from happening again? guest: one thing about this particular event was the lack of intelligence. if you look at what the capitol police chief testified to in some of these hearings, we didn't have adequate notification that there were these militant groups that had infiltrated the rally and were hell-bent on engaging in violence at the united states capital. so intelligence wou

no civilian law enforcement agency to include the united states capital police is trained or equipped to repel in insurrection of thousands of individuals focused on breaching a building at all costs. i'm extremely proud and appreciative of the capital police officers in the metropolitan police department and the other law enforcement agencies that came to our assistance. a clear lack of accurate and complete intelligence across several agencies contributed to this event and not poor planning by the capital states police. we rely on accurate information from partners to help us develop plans. the intelligence that we base our planning on indicated that the january 6th protests were expected to be similar to the previous rallies in 2020, which drew tens of thousands of participants. the assessment indicated that members of the proud boys, white supremacist groups and other extremist groups were expected to participate on january 6th and that may be inclined to become violent. based on the intelligence received, we plan for an increased level of violence at the capital and some particip

united states. it's now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the united states capital. >> you spend days going around the building and finding something new. the embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that san francisco is famous for. >> the wood you see in the board of supervisor's chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the ceiling you would believe that's hand carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. and what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that was so wonderful that we have this masterpiece to show the world today. >> president walton: good afternoon. welcome to the march 23, 2021 regular meeting of the san francisco board of supe

tim ryan noted that it is heartbreaking that in the united states capital, it continues to be a target, not by foreign adversaries but by our fellow americans. he thanked the chief and the police officers for briefing him. i think a lot of members are confident that the capitol police is going to keep them safe and is properly preparing right now. that being said, there is a huge barbed wire fence around the capital complex. it would be hard to imagine any groups breaching that fortification. host: any republican reaction? guest: regarding republicans, i think republicans in the house are getting out of town, as democrats are doing, in preparation for this. i think everyone is taking it seriously. host: chris marquette of cq roll call, joining us to give us an update in light of this information that came down yesterday. you can find his reporting on the rollcall website. thank you very much. guest: thank you. host: for the remainder of this hour, we will take your calls on this new information, plus the reaction from capitol hill, particularly on the house side of this. you can call o

that is a major event in our history united states capital being attacked and attacked by a mob and our democracy being challenged, this is a major historical event in the history of the united states, and we better damn while take a close look at just exactly what happened, how was it inspired, how did it take place, and how can we prevent that kind of event from happening. you have an incredible commission, it has to be equally balanced between republicans and democrats in order for it to be credible, and very frankly, i don't think there should be one chairman. there should be two chairman, one democrat and one republican of good reputation, to be able to handle that kind of very serious commission effort. roger: secretary esper, are you nodding because you agree? sec. esper: completely. it was a very important, historical event that people will study for decades, and not positive. leon is absolutely correct, we need to have serious, independent people take a look at this just like the 9/11 commission, take their time, do it right, avoid politics, and do not get stuck in the tick toc

and the united states capital being attacked and taken over by a mob. and our democracy being challenged, this is a major historical event. in the history of the united states and we better damn well take a very close look at the logistics and exactly what was, what happened. how was it inspired, how did it takeplace . how can we prevent that kind of events from happening. now having said that, to have a credible commission i really do think that it has to be equally balanced between republicans and democrats in order for it to be credible and very frankly i don'tthink there should be one chairman. there should be two chairmen. one of the democrat and one republican .of good reputation. to be able to handle that kind of very serious commission effort. >> i see you nodding, do you agree with what terry panetta just said it was a very important historical event that we will remember for decades to come and not a positive one so it's correct, we need to have serious people independent people take a look at this just like the 9/11 commission. take your time,

properly prepared to react, if in fact, any group attempts any kind of armed attack again on the united states capitale day's other news. three people have life threatening injuries in the south of sweden, in what police suspect was a terrorist attack. a man in his twenties stabbed his victims in the southern town of vetlanda. police shot and wounded the attacker before detaining him. in total 8 people were hurt. at least three people have been shot in nigeria as poarents were reunited with their kidnapped daughters in the north western town of jangebe. trouble started after parents were frustrated by the length of time the handover was taken and started throwing rocks at government officials. nearly 300 girls were kidnapped last week but have been in the custody of the state government since they were freed on tuesday. the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, has said he'll cooperate with a sexual harassment investigation, but he won't resign. the democrat said he'd never touched anyone inappropriately, but acknowledged that his habit of hugging and kissing people could make them feel uncomfortable. u

cliques examining the january 6 attack on the united states capital. at today's hearing, we will continue our committee important work to get answers that will lead us to solutions following the horrific events of -- at the capitol on january 6. today, we will hear testimony from the head of the d.c. national guard and from federal officials from agencies including fbi, defense department and department of homeland security that are tasked with supporting our security people at the capitol. the testimony of these witnesses is crucial as we work to get to the bottom of what happened again with the focus being making sure he does not happen again. with that, i will turn it over to chairman peters for the opening statement. >> thank you to the chair. from the rules committee, once again, joining us on the second joint hearing on january 6 attack on our building. this provided the opportunity for the american people to hear about the attack from the security officials on the ground. intelligence gathering, security planning and the results to the attack. i

the united states capital lease could develop that capability.hey certainly could. >> a final question. have you conducted any exercises that included simulations of civilian and military joint decision making, simulations of command decisions involve contingencies that threatened the functioning of the u.s. congress, joint sessions of congress outside of the context of specific preparations for specific national security events? >> no sir. >> has it improve the capacity of the overall command to respond to an event like this? >> we were prepared to come to the capitol to help capitol police secure the capital. we practice and rehearse civil disturbance we are well exercised in that capability. it is a mandate that all national guard rectus civil disturbance. we are equipped for it and we trained for it and we are prepared to do it when called upon. so if we would have been approved to do it, we would have got there and helped the united states capitol police. >> i have no doubt the forces under your command were trained and qualified, my questio

when you're the president of the united states it is your obligation to go defend every one of those institutions and defend the united states capital. the events of january 6 wasn't just the language that the president used that day. it was the language leading up for the entire fault that this entire election was a fraud, baseless claims that have eroded faith of the public in our votingt institutions. that is very difficult to get back to when you lose faith in our democratic institutions, that leads us to a very, very dark place. i think we are now moving into a new presidency. we will see continued polarization. we are going to see the parties divided, but i'm hoping what we see at least is that it's not encouraged, the flames at least are tamped to a much more level, on voting rights let me use text or within madison, wisconsin, to ask about a couple of things. he says ms. walter deeply h.r. one, the bill passed in the house voting rights bill, will affect local politics? you also have a number of states passing tougher voting laws.st george is one of them just passed a couple of bills yesterday, and the efforts by the biden a

received a frantic call from then chief of united states capitol police steven sund, where he informed me that the security perimeter of the united states capital had been breached by hostile rioters . his voice cracking with emotion, indicating there was a dire emergency. he requested the immediate assistance of as many available national guardsmen that i could muster. immediately after that call, i alerted the u.s. army senior leadership of the request. the approval for chief sun's request would eventually come from the acting secretary of defense, and be relayed to me by army senior leaders at 5:08 p.m., about three hours and 19 minutes later. i already had guardsmen ready to move to the capital. consequently at 5:20 p.m., the district of columbia national guard arrived at the capitol and were being sworn in. we helped to establish the security perimeter at the east side of the capital to facilitate the resumption of the joint session of congress. in conclusion, i am grateful for the guardsmen from the 53 states and territories who supported the district of columbia national guard operation capital response and help to ensure a peaceful tran

. >> at the outbreak of the civil war the united states capital come home of the house of representatives and the senate, was in the midst of an extensive renovation, and open circle of columns arose from the building i wouldn't the iconic dome. president abraham lincoln famously remarked that construction would continue even in wartime because if people see the capital going on it is a sign we intend the union shall go on. inside the capital the work of congress went on as well. you may think first of lincoln and the famous generals when you consider the civil war but the wheels of government continued and members of the house and senate crafted legislation that would shape our nation for decades. senator thaddeus stevens of pennsylvania was one vilified as leader of the radicals but in this new biography with one of his dedication to freedom, for the enslaved and his vision of equal, civil and political rights for black americans. his drive helped push through the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. historian eric phone has praised this book saying last thaddeus stevens what a

and in this bill is $400 million for expenditure in major cities around the united states, major state capitalsarge urban areas. i think that is pivoting to an eventual second bill which will be around infrastructure. and we have seen in america, not just post-world war ii but another times back to the industrial revolution that america investing in itself and putting itself back to work and investing in infrastructure has a positive impact on the economy. i think you will see both parties coalesce around that. caroline: let's stay on this philosophical idea because it is not just been a health crisis, it has been an economic crisis and also a social crisis. as we head toward what might be a new normal, what are ceo's saying and thinking about their new roles within this? you have been teaming up with global citizen, for example, thinking about how we can become a more, dare i say, just society. declan: thank you for mentioning our partnership. it is called a recovery plan for the world, with us aligned with the president of the european commission and the world health organization and artists

it has a photograph of the 1913 women's suffrage march, on pennsylvania avenue towards the united states capital. it's overlaid with a photograph from the 2017 women's march from pennsylvania avenue as well. and it's and to look -- which has a special fact which means that the image changed between the two. we wanted to have it in the exhibit to help grab the public's attention and also signal that it's a historic exhibit but one that continues to have relevance today. let's head down towards the gallery where -- is on display. so this is the national archives exhibition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment. but it's more than a 19th amendment exhibition. that's because the 19th amendment landmarked voting rights victory did not gave every woman the right to vote. -- millions of women for reasons other than their sex remained unable to vote. so this exhibit looks at that story as well. we have this introductory video here that is also meant to grab peoples attraction and pull them into the gallery. it also gives you a sense of what types of stories are going to encounter here

united states congress. we frequently have unsubstantiated or reckless threats thrown out, about doing things to the united states capital. that has been a constant in my 11 years in office. i have seen nothing that warrants the fence remaining around the united states capital, particularly given the cost. i had one other congressman who told me they did the research and the cost so far is roughly $500 million. i hope my staff will be able to confirm if that is the case but that is a significant amount of money. quite frankly, we are not getting a good return on that money. i'm sure these national guardsmen would prefer to be back home. under normal circumstances like right now, i don't see anything out there that would cause me to believe that our capitol police cannot handle it. host: it was yesterday that the capitol police received information about a possible threat against the capital. that was supposed to take place today, according to the information they received. the house of representatives deciding to not meet today and cancel its business, pushing forward with the voting bill and police reform bill. we are a

while driving, stopped while someone else's driving, and he was even stopped from entering the united states capital also knows the power of a justice system that is respected and worthy of respect. he knows the anguish of officer shootings and he knows the pain and the grief's thousands of police officers feel, because he is the first one to call a surviving spouse of a dead police officer. he was at the forefront of this debate because he has lived this debate in a way that very few other united states senators ever have or ever will. you know, kamala harris and cory booker were part of that national debate as well. but neither one of them was called a token by liberal senator. but tim scott was. tim scott is at the forefront of issues in washington because he has earned the right to be there through hard work, through learning the issues, through experiencing issues, through respect. earning the respect of his peers on both sides of the aisle. you know, he is welcome to have whatever political leash she wants. i don't think she has ever run for office before and my guess is that she wouldn't win

meanwhile, we saw a violent insurrectionist attack on the united states capital. police officers died in that case. i want to know what makes her actions so dangerous? it is that big lie that is the fuel for these terrible voter suppression laws that we see coming out of the state of georgia and we have had to push hard against a big lie and make sure we secure the democracy for all of our citizens. amy: we go now to georgia where we are joined by anoa changa. she is freelance journalist based in atlanta covering electoral justice and voting rights. thank you for joining us. this was an amazing night. it wasn't until about 11:00 last night that the state representative was released from jail. talk about what happened. >> this is really triggering and reminiscent for a lot of us who are present in 2081 representative -- 2018 one representative was arrested. i really remember what happened. it is similar incident when former state senator was also arrested, now my congress woman in the fifth congressional district and also arrested in the state capital during a prot

you know, the united states capital being attacked and taken over by a mob and our democracy being challenged. this is a major historical event in the history of the united states. and we better we'll take very close look at just exactly what happened, how was it inspired, how did it take place, how can we prevent that kind of event from happening. now having said that. to have a credible commission, i really do think that it has to be equally balanced between republicans and democrats in order for it to be credible, and very frankly, i don't think there should be one chairman, i think there should be to chairman. one a democrat and one republican of good reputation to be able to handle that kind of a very serious commission effort. >> secretary esper, i show you nodding. it seems like you agree with where the secretary just said? >> i completely agree. it was a very important event that people will studied for decades. so i think what absolutely right, we need to have serious people, independent people take a look at this, just like the 9/11 commission was. take their time, do it right, pull

state. when you're in the western end of the upper peninsula, you're as close to lansing is our capital to the united states capital, washington d.c., it's a huge state and i got all around our state and it was really amazing to me, people no matter what part of the state you're in, said i just need you to fix the damn roads. it was a phrase that was poll texted or what i came up with, it's what people in our state would say about the infrastructure. for decades there's been understatement in the infrastructure not just in michigan, but across the country and that's why when i used that phrase to echo what the people of my state want and need to see it resonates with others, well outside of our borders. i've been serious about fixing infrastructure. i led with a gas tax as my legislature would not support it. they wouldn't even offer an alternative, despite the fact that this was the number one issue at the time in our state. so we went alone and i'm proud of the work that we've done. we've been fixing the road, but a federal infrastructure plan and a federal partner that understands how crucial thes

there are a group of domestic terrorists who would not hesitate to attack the united states capital,ring our democracy to a halt, and basically undermine our system of government. that is a threat to our that is a threat to our security, and for that reason i think it is important to recognize the threat that is represented by domestic terrorism and to do everything necessary to try to confront that. it is not going to be easy. it requires good intelligence, it requires great law enforcement, it requires great judgment on the part of security officials, something we didn't see frankly very well on january 6. i think there were a lot of bad judgments made, a lot of poor intelligence, and the result was that a mob was able to attack the capitol. i think we have to learn the lessons from january 6 and recognize that a lot needs to be done to improve our approach to terrorism. with regards to the role of the military, i think mark esper is correct that the military should focus on protecting our national security abroad. that is what the military is all about, it's about learning and tra

before i begin i want to acknowledge the debt of gratitude we owe to the offices of the united states capital please. metropolitan police, law enforcement partners came to the aid of the institution and risk the lives of our constitution and democracy could interfere i cannot thank them enough. i want to thank congress for helping provide a fitting tribute to officer sicknick. we mourn as a committee for the loss of his life but the recognition rightly bestowed upon him hopefully serve as a moment of feeling with the capital please and for all law enforcement to make sacrifices on a daily basis to provide for safety. i want to acknowledge the sacrifices of officer liebengood and smith and her families. their sacrifices will never be forgotten. i finally what to think the national guard who have come from near and far to keep our city on the hill say. they have left the families amidst the pandemic to work in uncertain environment and the presence makes a safety. as a stated in my previous briefing to the appropriations committee, the intelligence surrounding generally sixth was problematic. i

the best thing that could happen to the country in the next century the united states congress would rotate are all 50 state capitals over the course of the next century. maybe people could get out of washington dc and see what's going on in the rest of the country. what's going on there is not the rest of the country and the real parts as well. >> but in his earlier past the changes that they have had today have broader societal impact? has that changed with the upheaval? >>. >> with the filibuster the rules are the threshold of the senate needs to get to to debate a final passage it is incredibly important but it's not magic. it won't force agreement among senators that already exist. when you think about what might happen if the roles were changed we have to ask what is out there being stopped right now but there also 50 senate democrats to agree on the same proposal the majority of house democrats that president biden would sign. and there are certainly issues that fall into that category but it's hard to know how many there are or what exactly they look like. to the point to change the senate rules would be des

since the united states supreme court started letting states kill their prisoners, texas has outpaced any other state. virginia holds the record. its virginia that is the death penalty capital of the united states as senator tim kaine put it. going back to the history as a colony, they killed more prisoners in the united states going back to the first public execution in 1608. but now this week they stopped. this week, after 400 years of killing people, they stopped. the death house that governor northam toured this week is now shut down. there were two people left on death row in virginia. both will have their sentences converted to life. look at this. want to know how the death penalty has been implemented in virginia? this is amazing. in the 20th century, the entire century, virginia executed 377 prisoners. of those 377 people they killed, 296 of them were black. look the numbers for the 19th century. in the 19th century virginia state government executed 554 people. of the 554, 513 of them were black. in the 21st century, there hasn't been anyone newly sentenced to death in virginia in ten years, and that last death sentence was overturned on appeal. and some of the dec
