these are two of the finest congressman in the united states congress in terms of getting things done. i really mean it. and the american rescue plan will do more than just to provide what people need. the finest congressman in the united states economy, in terms of getting things done. either -- i really mean it. and the american rescue plan will do more than just to provide what people need. one of the things that we've done early on, we've passed the care act around and what we did was they provided for the inspector general, an outfit to look over where the money is going making sure that it was spent properly and the first thing he did was. we found out that only 40% of the people who were in fact were small businesses who are counting on the deal. and he got really big businesses, buying shares with that money. so, when we wrote this investment plan, they were insistent that we have an inspector general to make sure that we know exactly where the money is going. so we're in a position where we have an immediate relief where 85% -- were going to get 100 million shots into peoples

democrats signed off on the largest and most partisan transfer of wealth in the history of the united states congress, in the weeks leading up to the boat they insisted that the $1.9 trillion giveaway would bring the relief, the american people were seeking, they quoted suspect pulling in antidotes to support their ridiculous claim bipartisan and chose to use the reconciliation process they did that on a partyline vote in the claims of bipartisanship and necessity began to show almost immediately after the final vote the majority leader called it and i'm quoting one of the most regressive pieces of legislation if not the most progressive in decades. but we all know his definition of progressive is not compatible, compatible with the targeted relief everyone here would probably agree that this. country needs, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle not seen an opportunity to fulfill the radical campaign promises that had put them into power, they chose that power over dealing with the needs of the people have they set out to do a fraction of the american rescue plan to trillion dollar price tag g

. >> i never imagined just from my upbringing that i would be here in the united states congress. home with no indoor plumbing and running water. once a month, we drove to get the government assistance. when i hear people in the united states congress talk about cutting those programs or those programs not being needed, i think about how much of an impact it had on me and us just being able to make it. >> activism is in her blood. her great aunt was the first brack student admitted to the university of alabama. >> i remember them working at the polls on the election days and the leftover little carts where you had to register if you were a democrat or a republican, and i would playskool with those when they were brought home. >> i stood peacefully next to my constituents because they wanted their voices to be heard. >> reporter: as a georgia state senator in 2018, she says she went to check out a protest in the capitol and ended up getting arrested. it was not john lewis style civil disobedience. >> in our state constitution, legislatures are not even allowed to be arrested in our

saturday democrats signed off on the most partisan and largest wealth in the history of the united states congress. in the weeks leading up to that vote they insisted that their $1.9 trillion giveaway would bring the relief the american people were seeking. they quoted suspect polling and ant antidotes to claim that the bill was bipartisan even though they didn't even try to secure bipartisan support. in fact, i would argue that the democrats threw away the idea of bipartisanship the moment they chose to use the reconciliation process to force their hand. after almost 30 hours of debate, they did just that on a party-line vote and then the cracks in their claim of bipartisanship and necessity began to show. almost immediately after the final vote, the majority leader called it, and i'm quoting, one of the most progressive pieces of legislation, if not the most progressive, in decades. end quote. but we all know that his definition of progressive isn't compatible with the kind of targeted relief every one here would probably agree this country needs. had my colleagues on the other side of the aisle

he served the united states congress, he also served in the united states senate. he and his wife were the host during james mckinnon's administration in washington d.c.. on the south left and for their own government, they invited jefferson davis to become his first and only president. jefferson davis would accept that invitation and become the president of the confederate states of america. we're standing in the cell where jefferson davis was held at the conclusion of the american civil war. in 1865, jefferson davis received word from general robert e. lee, the commander of the army of northern virginia, that they no longer could hold the federal army back from attacking the city of richmond. with that news, jefferson davis joined the cabinet, sent his family on the road for the protection. jefferson davis soon after that would follow. he would finally catch up with his family right above the florida state line. it is here where a federal unit was able to capture him and his family. jefferson davis was pushed put on a boat and move back up here to fort monroe and

while the treaty of versailles was never ratified by the united states congress. ed states was never an official center of the treaty of versailles. as a result, we also did not take part in regard to the league of nations in any way, shape, or form. the united nations had no teeth which was part of the reason for the breakdown eventually. the recent that occurred was in large part due to woodrow wilson who was a uncompromising it vigil himself, and he did not bring any republican members of congress with him to the versailles peace talks. which greatly irritated politicians and congressman back home. it would take a second world war to convince popular opinion and congress. that we would need to be a very active member in that piece organization afterwards.

so she came back to the united states congress to serve once again.nd i have to tell you, that i had the pleasure when i came here in 1999, patsy minching was here, a -- mink, a fierce and tiny woman who you could not resist. we need to lift the name of patsy mink higher. people don't know who she was and what she accomplished for women and i'm determined we will do something in this house of representatives to acknowledge and honor the great work of patsy mink. and i yield back. mrs. lawrence: i bring forth a woman who is a trailblazer, emma adams. ms. adams: i want to thank the gentlewoman from michigan and for all of the chairs and co-chairs of this committee. mr. speaker, i rise to honor the women of the united states house of representatives for women's history month. this marks the 101st year of women's suffrage in the united states and women have had the right to vote for 101 years, we still don't have equal justice under the law and that's why earlier today we passed the resolution to remove the deadline for the ratification of the equal right

well, the treaty of versailles was never ratified by the united states congress. so the united states was never an official signer of the treaty of versailles as a result. we also did not take part in regards to the league of nations in any way shape or form. so the league of nation had no teeth. which was part of the reasons for the breakdown eventually. the reason that occurred was in large part due to woodrow wilson who was an uncompromising individual himself, and he did not bring any republican members of congress with him to the very side peace talks, which greatly irritated politicians in congressman back home, which wound up leading to the versa treating not being ratified by congress. it would take a second world war to convince popular opinion and congress. that we would need to be a very active member in that piece organization afterwards. welcome to life and an age of conflicts and extremes the keynote address for the john jay papers conference. thank you so much for joining us for this discussion at a moment in our nation's history when greater underst

so we have to take action as the unit states congress.se democrats passed what you accurately described as the most important voting rights felt since the voting rights act of 1965. it is a very large bill. it contains a lot of great things. what i tended to focus on our automatic put a rush -- automatic voter registration. independent redistricting as replacements for the partisan gerrymandering for congressional districts that has allowed people like marjorie taylor greene to coast to victory in general election contests and play because they have prevailed in republican primaries. of course, public campaign financing so that people come working-class backgrounds who tend to be more diverse and are certainly more representative of the median american voter are le to and congressional campaigns. by the way, when that happens, you won't have crazy people completely detached from reality because of their of seen wealth debating the need for 2000 dollars survival checks in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the great depression. a

because, unlike the united states congress, the postal service has 90% approval rating because it touches every american seven days a week and they trust that delivery. and now i get calls, and you have gotten them, too, where we literally have not delivered mail but once or twice a week to a community. and for them that is unsettling. that's not the norm. and, at minimum, mr. postmaster general, the courtesy and the respect of the organizational structure to come into the postal service and do -- i mean to the united states congress, to give a briefing and not subject us to sitting at home, reading a press conference, or seeing it on tv. because right now we're all talking to you about our challenges in our community and in this country, and all you have, i have a plan. no one here knows what it is. can you tell me in my time that's left where is the analysis of your changes, that they will have on morale. you said we have issues and turnover on morale, on sustaining delivery. because while you're redrawing the lines and talking about trucks and our vehicle inventory, while you're restru

raw intelligence, didn't prompt a stronger warning, an alarm going to the very top of the united states congress, because clearly the united states congress was under severe threat. >> thank you, senator. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator hawley? >> thank you, mr. chairman, thank you, director wray, for being here. can i just go back to a series of questions senator ray asked you? he asked you about the january 6 riot. you said you weren't familiar with the specifics. can i clarify your responses to him? when you say you're not familiar, are you saying you don't know whether or not the bureau has scooped up geolocation data, mehta dametad cell phone towers? are you saying you don't know if they did that? tell me what you know about this. >> when it comes to geolocation specifically, just the use of geolocation data, i would not be surprised to learn, but i do not know for a fact, that we were using geolocation data under any situation in connection with the insurrection of the 6th. because this is such a sprawling investigation, that would not surprise me. when it comes to metadata, which i

raw intelligence, didn't prompt a stronger warning, an alarm going to the very top of the united states congress, because clearly, the united states congress was under severe threat. >> thank you, senator. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator holley? >> director wray, thanks for being here. i want to go back to questions from senator lee. he asked you about the geolocation and metadata aspects and gathering related to investigation of january 6th riots. you said you weren't familiar with the specifics. can i just clarify your responses to him? so when you say you're not familiar, are you saying that you don't know whether or not the bureau has scooped up geolocation data, metadata from cell phone records, from cell phone towers? do you not know? are you saying that the bureau maybe or maybe hasn't done it? just tell me what you know about this. >> when it comes to geolocation data specifically, the use of it, i would not be surprised to learn but i do not know for a fact that we were using geolocation data under any situation in connection with the investigation of the 6th. but, again, we do u

when i ran for the united states congress, political insiders came to me and they did not ask me what i would be campaigning on. they asked me how much money could i raise? that is a shameful distortion of our democracy. and it must end. public campaign financing will help change that. many people were surprised when i defeated a billionaire who tried to purchase this congressional seat. my election should not be an exception to the rule, rather it should be the norm. when we passed h.r. 1, it will be. thank you. -- when we pass h.r. 1, it will be. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, and thank all of my colleagues. i want to thank this amazing caucus standing behind us. h.r. 1 is a collection of over 60 pieces of legislation introduced over a period of many, many years. mr. sarbanes: assembled into an over arching package that can make a difference for the american people. the choice here is clear. you've heard it. you can win on the basis of your ideas and the programs that you put forward, which is what we choose to do. or you can try to win by suppressing the vote, drawing unfair d

and has to go to united states congress. i have panicked at the congress to pass this appropriation. what the sea-doo? goes to congress in march of 1947, asked the congress approved $400 billion of aid in these -- for greece and turkey. it is not the air that matters. it is not the dollar value. it is the justification that truman settled on when asking for this aid. he goes to congress and gives an astonishing speech. i have sent you the text of it, you should read it very carefully. he decides he's going to organize american foreign policy around a very stark, black-and-white view of foreign affairs in that speech. here's what he says. we have to pay some attention to the language, that document carefully. this is truman in front of a joint session of u.s. congress. " at the present moment in world history, nearly every nation must choose before alternative ways of life. the choice is too often not a free one. one way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative

that's a part of being in the united states congress. requently have unsubstantiated or reckless threats thrown out there. that is been a constant in my 11 years in office here in the noted states congress. -- united states congress. i have seen nothing that the fence remaining around the capital, particularly given the cost. the cost so far is roughly $500 million. i hope someone will be able to confirm if that is the case. that's half $1 billion. quite frankly, we are not getting a good return on that money and i'm sure those national guardsmen would much prefer to be back home. i don't see anything out there that would cause me to believe that our capitol police cannot handle it. host: we have calls lined up for you, our first one is from minnesota. this is linda. go ahead. caller: i'm hoping you give me a chance to say what i want to say. mr. brooks, you just said that the crowd was mostly peaceful and i probably will agree with that. but then when you got up on the stand and i'm going to say the quote because i hope i can. guest: say

>> we should first expect the united states congress to act.t willing to give up on what we must do to appeal to the hearts and minds and the reason of the members of the united sttes senate. i served in that body, and i believe that it is possible, it has to be possible that people agree that these slaughters have to stop. and this is, again, reject the false choices, stop pushing it for sure. stop pushing the false choice that this means everybody's trying to come after your guns. that is not what we're talking about. >> yeah. yeah. most reasonable people get that. ted cruz said something interesting yesterday. he called this conversation ridiculous theater, that the gun laws that are being proposed, the change, would have done nothing to stop those shootings. does he have a point? is this a uniquely american failure? does he have a point? >> well, this is what every time there is a slaughter, a mass shooting, someone who does not want to be accountable for what we need to do says, well, that wouldn't have prevented this thing. you know, argu

that don't you citizenship for millions they promised within 100 days i'm going to send to united states congress a pathway to citizenship for over 11000000 undocumented people and all of those so-called dreamers those docket kids they're going to be immediately certified again to be able to stay in this country oh gosh die who could have predicted that promising millions of people potentially citizenship would flood your borders with another wave of migrants more and more migrants who believed biden's populist election rhetoric and people smugglers whom business is booming but biden apparently didn't mean everything that he said thousands of kids are still in detention centers but waiting deportation to mexico and you know what biden's white house is telling the crowds at the border who he gave so much hope to. goo way and the message isn't done come now it is done come in this way ever do it to come to the united states is still illegal pathways then there's the pandemic which has ruined so much for all of us merica has been ravaged by couvade like nowhere else that is been a disaster trumps di

the list and lastly 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

it was a law the united states congress passed that granted citizenship to white immigrants. but.xcluded. asians and others were trying to, like, use it as a zoo. way to modify. i'm into collaborating bring communities together a day to remember the history of racism and embrace people off all cultures, especially defenseless elders. if it wasn't a pandemic, i would want to go over and hug everybody, you know, and just tell him how much i support them and want to make sure they're safe. thank you so much. in addition to these events immunity leaders are urging people to volunteer with asian nonprofits and to push companies large and small to denounce asian hate in san francisco, chinatown amberleigh ktvu, fox two news of their wayp out. i love saying that sure is, yeah, it is a good thing. and that is our report for tonight. thanks so much for joining us. it's wrapped with joe and jason is coming up next night, frank, can i everybody, let's see tomorrow. stay. women cruise butl aren't satisfied. i still don't think we're playing our best basketball yet how the cardinal turned toda
