been used so they would have got dogs little very quickly clearly there was concern from the united states capitol police and who can blame them because of course a number of officers died in the insurrection in capitol hill on january the 6th. i hate to put it this way alan but you almost ever since january the 6th waiting or expecting something to happen again if i go back to 2 inauguration time when i was in washington and remember thinking then that security was just so ties you know there was no way that anyone was going to get through that but the fear was always that something could happen and as you start to pull back all of that security almost that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. there was chatter as well on the internet that a date in march had been earmarked because they believe that that was the day that donald trump would actually be brought back to office because it would be discovered then that joe biden was an illegitimate president all part of what has become known as the big lie in washington d.c. that joe biden didn't win the election when of course clearly he di

narratives about the impact of january 6th, or the vulnerability of the capitol or what this language means throughout the united statesor violence. it's because it is our police officers also who are the victims. it wasn't just those who were killed. remember, there were two suicides after january 6th of the capitol police. those are -- those are deaths in the line of duty. and we should view them that way. >> we're going to have a conversation later this morning. about the mental health of the members of the u.s. cp. because after what happened on the 6th and now this loss and what we're seeing and some of the changes that could be coming to that department, that is something we certainly need to focus on. juliette kayyem, also good to have you. >> thank you, victor. i'll see you on week dads. >> monday through friday, 2:00 to 4:00. >> thanks a lot. >> thanks, juliette. >>> still to come as families from coast to coast prepare to celebrate the easter weekend, health officials are urging people not to let their guard down. the new cdc guidelines for celebrating safely. >>> and later, a week of painful testimony reverb

>> reporter: well, i can tell you this, the intense security here at the united states capitol complextinues as bus loads of d.c. national guard personnel offload and heading into the office buildings where she have been staging since january 6th, that big riot here at the capitol. but now there say new concern. the first concern, of course, is about the two officers who confronted the suspect around 1:00 yesterday eastern time here at the capitol complex. officer billy evans, as you reported, was killed. an 18-year veteran of the force. the other officer was injured. we are told by the police he's in stable condition at this time, at a local hospital. so, the details are very simple. very sad and tragic. the details are that this individual rammed the police barricade on the east front of the united states capitol around 1:00 p.m. eastern time. at that time, he emerged from the car. apparently charged the officers with a knife. one of the officers shot him and the suspect, noah green, was killed. the picture that is emerging of the suspect is unusual ly and sounds delusional from his

in march of 2016 your office produced a report called the evaluation of the united states capitol police division of intelligence and information analysis. in that report you provided six recommendations that would establish adequate internal controls and processes for the intelligence division. did you ask capitol police implement those recommendations? >> are report, we asked ao implement or consider whether that they agree with them. >> and so sort of to build on that. was there compliance to ensure that those recommendations were being implemented? >> that's why we do from time to time, to go back and do what we call follow-up which occurred, i believe its 2019 we get a follow-up follow-up on the very same thing. we note there were some things reemerged and there were some additional recommendations to be made. that's pretty standard practice for us. we will issue a report. we allow it and we will then do what we call follow-up of the report. >> but in-depth follow-up was there compliance with those recommendations, in your opinion? >> in some of them yes, they did. and some of them

again, we've seen this scene too many times here at the united states capitol. again, look at the risks that the u.s. capitol police officers take. you think about the two officers who were injured during the 2017 baseball practice shooting. they were both on the detail of steve scalise, the house republican whip sustained injuries there. we've seen this time and time again. and that is what is striking when you look at this incident and what happened in 1998 when the two officers, detective gibson and officer chestnut were killed. they were defending the united states capitol. i have always been told that they try to keep the fight outdoors. this is where there is a lot of criticism. most of it deserved after what happened on the 6th of january here, capitol security worked. it worked in 1998 where they neutralized the gunman even though two officers died there and worked on april 2 where they kept the fight outside even though tragically officer evans paid the ultimate sacrifice and officer shaver was injured and as i said officer shaver will accompany the acti

to hear the news of another officer killed and protecting the united states capitol just three months after january 6th is devastating for the families of the officers and the capitol police force. one of the holyist iest day of year, shimon prokupecz is live with us. what more are you learning of the suspect. >> it is coming from his social media postings, instagram and facebook and just two hours before this incident before he was zhotshot and killed there w postings on instagram. he believed he was suffering because of the fbi. they're looking at some of these postings a short time before this incident and also links to the nation of islam, they're looking at links and postings on his instagram where he's linking to stories from that group. that's something investigators are looking at as well. i want to show you behind me much of the scene is clear. you can see the car that was used is not here and a lot of the investigators are still here. they're taking photos but much of what we saw here earlier has been cleared out. this is now going to be a big puzzle that the fbi needs to pu

this capitol was invaded because there were restraints, frankly, on the united states capitol police. we need to make sure they have the authority to respond to protect this capitol, this democracy, our members, our staff, the visitors to this capitol, but also, mr. speaker, importantly, themselves. we know that this is a difficult moment, that the capitol police force is having more than ever before during its history. in the early 1960's, i worked as an intern in the united states senate's office. i knew some capitol cops, we call them. thankfully, the risks were minimal. that is not true today. and as the risks are greatly, we must respond robustly to ensure that we have the capacity and the will to meet those risks. mr. speaker, may god bless and protect our u.s. capitol police officers. and i yield back the balance of my time. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. i thank the gentleman for his comments. the chair will now recognize the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. joyce, for five minutes. mr. joyce: mr. speaker, i rise to address the ho

but eventually it was created as part of the united states capitol complex. i should note one interesting thing as a point of syntax. i will always try to say botanic garden when speaking about the u.s. botanic garden. but in the general sense, talking about generic tentacle gardens, i may back and forth. botanica and botanical are synonymous words and can be used interchangeably. whether or not they were used in the naming of institutions was more a function of the time in which the institution was named. so when the united states botanica garden was named in the 1850's officially, at that time, botanic garden was the en vogue usage. today, when referring to botanic gardens, we referred to botanical gardens. so after george washington laid out a vision for the u.s. botanic garden in the late 1700s, there was not much action. the country was going through a lot of changes. we were setting in on a location for the capitol, the white house. dr l'enfant, this it -- pierre l'enfant, the designer, whereas laying out plans that would be realized. we had a lot going

united states botanic garden. we're standing on what's currently called union square which is the end cap one could say of the national mall on the east side just before you arrive at the united states capitol. it's a really fascinating piece of land because it's actually gone through many transformations in terms of what's been here over the course of the history of washington dc really since around 1800. it's important to the botanic garden because the first united states botanic garden was actually on this piece of land even though today. it's most notably associated with the capital reflecting pool and the memorial to grant and so what i'd like to do today is to present a little bit of the early history of the united states botanic garden show a couple of the remaining trees. actually that date back to the original botanic garden location and also talk about the process by which the botanic garden came to be eventually moved across the street from where it currently is and a little bit about a very very famous fountain called the bartoli fountain that originally was and a little bit about a very famous town. it originally placed here by congress to blocks south in the 20th century. the

believe that the system worked, at least to the extent that it was designed to protect the united states capitol. but what a terrible price, an 18-year veteran of the united states capitol police force, billy evans died there. another officer was injured, apparently in stable condition at the hospital. again, what happened was very simple, very tragic. this individual, the attacker in a sedan pulling up to one of the checkpoints at the united states capitol trying to rush the checkpoint, the barricade there. the officers tried to stop him. when he emerged from the car with a knife, they shot and killed him. one fofficer was killed and one was officer was injured. -the-suspect's name is noah green, he is about 25 years old. apparently a very troubled individual and a lot of delusional social media posts and apparently a father of the nation of islam and apparently went to college in the newport news, virginia, area, where he played football. the motivation, of course, a huge question and that is something that will be a subject of the investigation going forward. back to you. >> joe johns, thank

we will of course keep you posted on the story developing at the united states capitol, where unfortunately one capitol police officer has lost their life. the fourth one since january 6th. another officer is in the hospital right now. well, this country has had a terrible year for lots of reasons in 2020. but the men and women of the capitol police have truly been through hell so far in 2021. it was gut-wrenching today to see the chief of that police force have to struggle and contain her own emotion as she announced yet another capitol police officer killed in the line of duty. today, of all days, a man named daniel rodriguez was in federal court in california after he was arrested this week for one of the most gruesome assaults on a police officer at the united states capitol attack on january 6th. now, we have a talked about this case on this show before. because of the unusual confluence of terrible violence, online researchers definitively identifying this guy and then what seemed to be a delayed response from law enforcement at going and arresting him. the capitol attack happened of

we also know, look, the united states capitol ought to be the place where people should come see their democracy in action. right now people can't do that. i want to see us open the capitol again. clearly, there are steps that can be taken to ensure more hardened facilities so the capitol cannot get overrun. people who did that by the way, on january 6, are being arrested. that's the way it should be. if you don't follow the law, you should be held accountable. the same democrats that take down the wall at the southern border, say walls don't work at our southern border with mexico, are also putting a wall in front of the united states capitol. a bit of an irony. clearly walls work. why don't we put the wall back up at our southern border and open up the capitol so the public can come see our democracy in action? alayna: and congressman, earlier this week -- i know we have a little time left -- you you were in orlando, i know you were there for the house republican retreat. one big story that came out of it was kind of this increasingly developing feud, i'd almost call it, between hous

house speaker nancy pelosi is proposing a commission that would look into questions how united states capitole handled the event that's day. that in a stalemate. she's asked in a press conference about this moments ago. she is willing to concede on points in negotiation between republicans and democrats saying she's up to a 50/50 split and allowing republicans to have a say in subpoena power but right now there's desire by both on capitol hill to have a independent bipartisan commission to look into what happened that day and get answers to some questions and despite pelosi that commission is at a stalemate. >> perhaps we could have all of those transcripts in their full context. thanks for the reporting and hustle. colorado was the first state for qualified immunity for police officers. is its new approach a national model? let's get to the yard. struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® helped me get back in it. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic® ♪ my zone? lowering my a1c and losing some weight. now, back to the show. ozempic®
