[laughter] >> the secret service protection must of been a real shock to your everyday life. >> it was. but i grew up with three older brothers it's like having your brothers around nonstop. we worked with the secret service and i was had a good relationship with them. yes i did disappear once on them that everyone needs to do it to see if you can. it was fine. i still stay in touch with my secret service agents. they were great friends and they know a lot of secrets i don't want out. >> we are recording this at the presidential site summit by the white house historical association. how much of your life is devoted to your family experience. >> not as much as most people would think so having three broth

and he listed joe biden, any listed alexandria ocasio-cortez among others. and here is escalating. and we have been pointed out about that killing on the animated videos that is to stir and bone-chilling. they slice their spinal cord with two summits rice cords moving in opposite directions. i found that absolutely bone-chilling. so for him to say that he didn't know that somehow it was a joke, and for members of the house not to step up is really, for me, would've been despicable. if they did, i would absolutely honor that they took away his assignments, and honored representative in putting that motion forward. but this is not the end. this is the first step. and again, i'm looking forward to attorney general merrick garland's charges against my brother. >> when your brother did speak to day, he did not apologize. and he did blame his staff. let's listen to what he had to say, today. >> i do not in spells violence among anyone. i've never have. it was not my purpose to make anyone upset. i voluntarily took the cartoon down, not because it was itself a, threat but because some tho

because of that video he tweeted showing him killing congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez. an animae video. we won't show you that, but we will show you what is going down on the house floor. we'll bring that vote to you live when it happens. and i want to bring in our team covering the capitol for us. ali vitali, john bresnahan is here with us as well. ali, if we have you, what is the deal and when -- we don't have ali vitali. bres, do we have you? because we're juggling a lot here as we're coming on the air with this live breaking coverage. you're with us, right? >> i'm with you. you can hear me? >> i sure can. bring me up to speed because i know that we've been seeing a number of speeches here including alexandria ocasio-cortez herself. speaker pelosi and others. what has stood out to you? >> well, alexandria ocasio-cortez spoke, gosar spoke, he down played the significance of the video. and you talked about this anime video that where he kills ocasio-cortez in the video and threatens the president of the united states, president biden. he did not apologize. he tried to

does he need to act on his sociopathic fantasy for representative alexandria ocasio-cortez? i am very concerned for she and other members. and this is absolutely unacceptable. i do not understand it. and i'm livid, lawrence. >> congresswoman ocasio-cortez tweeted a reply tonight. she said "so while i was en route to glasgow, a creepy member i work with who fund raises for neo-nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me. and he'll face no consequences because leader mccarthy cheers him on with excuses." she obviously puts up with more threats than most people in the history of the house of representatives, but what is new is that those threats are coming from a member of the house of representatives. >> and you would think that those very members alongside this person would hold him accountable. no. they leave it to family members to come forward in the public and it's on a show like yours, which by the way, thank you for letting me speak out here again. this is my first time on your show, but i appreciate any opportunity to put a spotlight on this awful man. i mean,

calls for an investigation into a video posted by a congressman depicting violence against democrat alexandria ocasio-cortez. gop congressman paul gosar is defending the video, which also depicts him attacking president biden with swords. abc's ike ejiochi is in washington with the very latest. ike, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, mona. democrats are demanding republicans take action against paul gosar after the congressman released a parody video showing himself killing a colleague. this morning, a video posted by republican congressman paul gosar depicting violence has been removed from his twitter account after gosar faced fierce criticism. >> first of all, he has no business being in congress. he should have never been elected. he doesn't belong there. >> reporter: gosar says his team created the video showing a cartoon version of himself killing congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez then charging at president biden with two swords. twitter flagged the tweet saying it violates its rules. an aide tells abc news, gosar then deleted the video on twitter, but overnight it remained po

and furthermore, alexandria ocasio-cortez deserves protection. and if you look at her tweets, she said another day at work because the system doesn't protect women of color. can we look at that for just a second, can we unpack that for a second? of course she's right. of course she's right. >> so just to be clear, when you've reached out to your arizona representatives, so congressman raul, you have spoken to him or never spoken to him? >> no, and he is not my representative. i don't live in arizona. i live in washington state. i'm represented by someone who has acted on my before. she called for an ethics investigation. and that was not followed through. and why? because there is evidence there. on more than one occasion, in fact when paul went to the uk to stump speech for tommy robinson who by the way was a felon, a felon in the united states for illegal immigration, right? isn't that lovely and ironic, but of course that is what these people are, when he went there, there were questions about the time he spent with steve ban nonand other whit

they were still at least six slaves in the lee household in alexandria. when and carter lee dies in 1829, part of her estate is that disposition of their sleeves in that estate. some sleeves are pointed towards her two daughters in this case, and marshall lee. sorry, and kin law lee. i said marshall because she marries a martial. she becomes an hub lee martial. and her sister mill judith lee. but one slave family's will talk to robert, at least in terms of the disposition of the estate. winds up being a sleeve sleeve family that robert owns. it is the only family he ever owns in his own name. that doesn't mean that he did benefit from slavery as a system, simply by being a white seventh southerner there were benefits. even more so at arlington, when he marries into the customs property at arlington. but there's also two other properties along the river. all told there is something like 190 slaves who are part of those properties. and robert lee benefits from that. when he marry so that he benefits from their work, their labor. he has a family who is one o

and that is where we must draw the line independent of party, identity, or belief. >> congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez was not alone. other members also rose to speak about the increasing threats they have faced recently. >> i am a victim of violence. i know what it's like. i also was in the gallery clamoring for life when the shots rang out in the speakers' lobby. violence against women in politics is a global phenomenon. a 2016 survey by the interparliamentary union found 82% of women parliamentarians have experienced psychological violence. and 44% have received threats of death, rape, beatings, or abduction. the intent of these online threats against women is clear. silence them. strip them of their power. and discourage them from running for office. >> congresswoman jackie speier of california is also the sponsor of the resolution to censure paul gosar. 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, sai

today alexandria ocasio-cortez said, it's been well over a week. he not only has not apologized. he not only has not made any sort of contact or outreach, neither he nor the republican leader of the party, but he has also doubled down. today paul gosar said the video is, quote, funny and completely harmless with kevin mccarthy clinging to his cowardly silence about the video and doing nothing about paul gosar. nancy pelosi decided to do to herself. she is going to bring in a censure vote against paul gosar to the house floor tomorrow. tonight the house rules committee voted on party lines to send a censure resolution to the house floor for that vote tomorrow. the resolution will strip paul gosar of his committee assignments in the house. he will be removed from the house oversight committee where alexandria ocasio-cortez is also a member, and he will also be removed from the house natural resources committee. two republicans, liz cheney and adam kinzinger, support censuring paul gosar. if the house votes to censure paul gosar tomorrow, congressman gosar must stand in the well of

the problem is the alexandria ocasio-cortezs over the world are not going away. that creates a problem for how you get all of these things you want to get passed, done. how you get joe manchin and kristin sinema to go along or how you get the 13 republicans? john: the democratic caucus is not like the republican caucus. it does not look like a country club board of directors. we have an incredibly diverse, ideologically, demographically, gender, etc. the process is pretty messy and it has hurt us. i will be the first to say that. we are going to get some stuff done. that is important. it will be impact. as well. you have to deal with that, not now, not in the first quarter or the second quarter, you guys would have to deal with the effect that you do not have anything to run on. i hope you have plans of what you are going to do about the border and what you are going to do about how we perceive the broad or what you want to do about voters who have lost confidence in biden's ability to govern. not his ability to understand government. john: let us challenge. i do

i don't know how that makes sense, but alexandria ocasio-cortez calling out kevin mccarthy for letting it slide. a quote here again. it's become very clear that the republican leader kevin mccarthy intends on doing nothing about it. crickets from most republicans tonight. but there are a few standing up for what is right. of course adam kinzinger tweeting today that they have to hold members accountable who incite or glorify violence and saying he'll vote yes on the gosar censure resolution. liz cheney who just this week was ousted by the wyoming gop for having the courage of her convictions blasting mccarthy for not having the courage of his. another quote. the notion that leader mccarthy won't full-on condemn what gosar did on multiple occasions but seems to be entertaining this move to push the 13 off of their committees, i mean, it's indefensible. morally and ethically, and it's crazy politically. and that is quite honestly the gop leadership today. still in the death grip of a disgraced twice impeached one-term former president who wants to push 13 republicans who voted for the in

alexandria ocasio-cortez said this on the house floor today. >> it's pretty cut and dry. do you find-- does anyone in this chamber find this behavior acceptable? would you allow depictions of violence, against women, against colleagues-- would you allow that in your home? do you think this should happen on a school board? in a city council? in a church? and if it's not acceptable there, why should it be accepted here? >> reporter: gosar said he was trying to be metaphorical and going against biden administration policies and immigration. i want to look at what he said he was doing today on the floor and what republicans said in response including leader kevin mccarthy. >> i voluntarily took the cartoon down. not because it was itself a threat, but because some thought it was. out of compassion for those who generally felt offense, i self-censored. >> for democrats, this vote isn't about a video; it's about control. that's the one and only thing democrats are interested in. >> reporter: and republicans by and large supported osar. they don't support him behind the scenes.

jon: alexandria hoff, thank you. florida republican congresswoman, you have heard that the court of appeals has at least temporarily stayed the biden plan. what do you think about the long-term prospects of this law, will there be an overruling of the court, will the mandate going to affect? >> what i tell you about biden's vaccine mandate to sum it up in a word it is unconstitutional. to hear the administration equate wearing a hard hat in the workplace to no job no job, that is downright insulting. this is something just a year ago biden, kamala harris and others were questioning the efficacy and safety of the vaccine and now they're mandating it and putting up to 80 million jobs on the line because of it. i think it speaks volumes of how out of touch they are and this will work its way through the court system i applaud the fifth court circuit to put the check on the administration. something of this magnitude absolutely needs to go to the people's house. this is unconstitutional. i am hopeful as progressives we k
