washington, d.c.'s delegate to the house of u.s. representatives, congresswoman eleanor holmes norton and former senator and former chairman of this committee, joe lieberman. i appreciate your attendance here today and i just want to recognize your incredible leadership on this issue over many years. it's wonderful to have you here before the committee. for decades, you both have served us strong advocates in the conversation to give d.c. residents an equal voice. and for the first time in nearly seven years, this committee will continue that discussion in here from the mayor, policy, legal and civil rights experts on how those lawmakers can finally, finally give d.c. residents the same representation in congress as their fellow americans. the lack of representation for the residents of the cities, which serves as a beacon of freedom and democracy around the world, is a stunning contradiction. since 70 -- 1791 president washington signed into law the permanent governance act, dede -- d.c. is our natio

the washington, d.c. police chief those were crocodile tears. he only walked the street because it was a rich part of the neighborhood. as a black man and an american, the democrat party don't care about people of california. today in washington, d.c. the police chief tried to make peace and not in the area where the crime is rampant in minority areas. it's a shame. >> we see that everywhere. not just d.c. but chicago as well. that's where the media is comfortable going. that's where the media offices are. it's in the little areas. if it effects them it's bigger news. is that rough or accurate? >> no, it's like the weather. when snow hits new york city, the people in colorado are why are you so upset. going back to cleveland. an nbc affiliate in cleveland did a poll on what fans wanted the new name to be. most fans didn't care about the indians. they loved it very, very much and didn't want it to go. they felt the cleveland spiders was the fan favorite because there was a team called the spiders. my team

that washington, d.c. would no longer fall under the religious freedom restoration act, as the rest of america would. and watching what happened for the limitation of people of faith during the time of the pandemic, i am trying to figure out if this became a new state. kind of the direction that this seems to be headed for people of faith to be able to live out their faith. now, i have no belief that you are trying to limit people from having faith in d.c. but it was odd, during this season of the pandemic, to see such strong limits on people of faith gathering together. can you help me understand that? >> well, certainly. the limits were, you know, the covid restrictions were for everybody. um, and i -- i don't have to tell you that we faced a 100-year pandemic. and i am very proud of d.c. residents, businesses, houses of worship, who followed health guidance and allowed us to crush this virus. that's why i can sit here, today, with d.c. fully open. and i know that we saved lives by flattening the curve,

washington, d.c. following the 13 colonies, all 37 states were admitted by congress through this constitutional authority. states were added -- not added solely because of a particular industry or the size of its landmass. states were added to include the people. the constitution's district clause poses no barrier to admitting d.c. as a state either. the district clause, maximum size of 10 square miles, not a minimum. s-51 retains a federal district, as required by the constitution. it encompasses the unpopulated areas the federal presence, including all of the house and senate office buildings, the capitol itself, the supreme court or the white house, the monuments and museums on the national mall, and all other federal buildings and land. the people of america, when they come to the nation's capital, will still find all of the great monuments and museums that will make up their experience, and of course the free museums of the smithsonian institution. the 23rd amendment to the constitution which gra

i moved to washington d.c. in 1970, for nearly as long as i can remember, the tidal basin and the cherry trees, have been an important part of my springtime ritual. my earliest memories with my family, are coming down and seeing the trees, i volunteered for the national cherry blossom vessel prayed when i was in high school, and continue to look forward to cherry blossom season, unlike any other time of the year. spring in washington dc's grandes springtime tradition when the cherry trees are out. there is no blue. there is no red in washington. everyone is pink.

, d.c., and a couple of steps specific to washington, d.c., a lot of us live there or in the neighborhood communities or people on 14th street in the neighborhood areas and for people who are not and are hearing this, there are a lot of restaurants there, a lot of foot traffic, this is a pretty popular part of the city many of us live in. it is one of d.c.'s five area nations wide where doj launched gun trafficking just yesterday. going to focus in the across jurisdictions to keep hands out of the dash guns out of the hands of criminals, and part of the violence intervention period hoping to show strategies shown to reduce violence by as much as 60%. and taking advantage of the historic funding they have gotten through the rescue plan to bolster public safety. so the budget proposal would invest $59 million from the rescue plan to reduce crime and add a hundred new slots to the program and add $14 million for youth safety initiatives. we are seeing this and feeling this even in our community here and it's one of the city is that has focused on. >> as part of the collaborative, but in the

but in the years that the city of washington d.c. is being built, philadelphia serves as a temporary u.s. capital, this room serves as the house of representatives, second for the building that we see in the united states senate. the house of representatives each representative at that point in our history represent 30,000 people. we had a population that our first census of about three and three quarters of 1 million. we had 106 members of the house, which sat in this room. and eventually from 16 states. the story of philadelphia as the u.s. capital is a story where we taken a new constitution and actually operates in doing things like adding new states to the original 13. also, the bill of rights we will become a part of our constitution while in philadelphia was the capital. in fact, secretary of state don thomas jefferson formally announced the amendments to the constitution in... my basically coming to congress here in this building and officially announcing that we have changed our constitution which of course the bill of right

president, something new happens here in washington, d.c. all eyes are now on d.c.'s newest asylum seekers, the members of the texas house of representatives, the democratic representatives. but the only oppressive force that these men and women are facing is the expectation that they would actually do their jobs in the texas legislature, the job they campaigned for and were elected to do. following unsuccessful attempts to pass an election integrity bill during the regular legislative session earlier this year, governor abbott has now called a special session for the texas legislature to consider that and other matters. that special session kicked off last tuesday -- excuse me, last thursday, but the chamber is already being held hostage by a minority of house members who are unwilling to do their job. now, democrats have raised concerns about the current draft of the bill. and make no mistake, that's why the legislative process actually exists. that's why it's important that they be there and debate the issues and actually vote on a bill. the purpose, of course, is

and 2021, the texas legislature came to washington, d.c. [applause] >> pete: mr. smith comes to washington. who knew that 2021 texas legislature on par with frederick douglass and the suffrage movement. put it in the textbooks right now. apocalyptic. we are not talking about voter ids, voter identification for mail-in ballots. beefing up criminal penalties for election workers who break rules. we know dems don't like penalties, especially when you burn things. and adding an extra hour for early voting each day from 8 hours which is to 9 hours at a minimum. keep in mind. texas already has 17, 17 days of early voting on election day. good luck, texas voters. how are you going to find 15 minutes within 17 days in at least a nine-hour window each day, shear suppression. now, texas democrats will eventually have to come back and do their job. governor abbott can continue to call special sessions to force this vote. unless, of course, they plan to flee forever. so, why do they go through all that effort to stall the inevitable? because it's not just about the lone star

the telephone number is in washington, d.c. host: one of you are asks, one get -- one way of going around that, would you hire deforestation workers and support these jobs? guest: yes. the problem, believe it or not, i don't think the problem is there. the problem is this growth of kind of an industry of lawyers that file lawsuits trying to stop the implementation of forest plans to allow folks to enter the forest. so what you see -- in fact, when you look at a forest service plan now, you had better bring a wheelbarrow to carry it out the door. it is huge. why? because the good folks working for the forest service are doing their best to anticipate every possible legal argument, and all they are doing is creating a more fertile environment for lawsuits. as you write more and more and more, you provide more and more opportunity for there to be a conflict between what the standards are and that which the plan provides. so the challenge really is how in the world do we get those people we are talking about hiring into the woods.

some of the democrats in washington, d.c. as we speak right now have said from the floor of the texas house of representatives that mail-in ballots is the easiest way to engage in fraud. republicans and democrats have been clear on the record that mail-in ballots is a way that cheating does take place. we all have to agree that if there's cheating in the election process, we need to stop that cheating and the best way to stop the cheating is to tighten up restrictions concerning mail-in ballots. maria: but governor, this misrepresentation, this lying bold-face lying is starting at the top. it is president biden who keeps coming out calling all of the laws jim crow laws. should the president come out and show honesty on all of the voting bills rather than trying to push the democrat party hr1 bill through which, of course, tries to do the opposite, no id and making mail-in ballots the standard? governor: so this is the same president who called me a neanderthal and now calling jim crow. this is diminishing to the people of the

what do those moves mean on how well is washington, d.c. responding to the pandemic threat right now? do you feel that you need additional help? >> well, al, i will tell you i couldn't be prouder of the response of our government, our department of health, homeland security. i'm even more proud of the sacrifices that d.c. residents and business made to put us in the position that we're in. i am very happy that the cdc reports that 70% of adults not just in d.c. but in surrounding maryland and virginia have been vaccinated that means we have driven our case counts down, and we have driven our vaccination rates up. and that has allowed us to be open and to stay open. so the end of the public health emergency is just a culmination of saying we don't need the emergency public health powers to close our businesses, but we do still need the public emergency to interact with the federal government on reimbursements and the like and should we need to dial up any of our measures. this emergency gives me that authority. >> mayor, last weekend a drive

when they're packing up and moving to washington, d.c. so there is no one election day. they'll start meeting in december. in the midst we're electing adams versus jefferson again. the two sides have learned their lessons. they say we'll both run two guys but you can't specify which is which. when jefferson wins the election, tech nick will he ties his own vice president aaron burr who had been a senator from new york. and of course being tied, it means by the constitution, the election goes to the house of representatives. the first big thing we do in our new capitol is the house of representatives has to elect the new president and they have to vote more than 30 times before the tie can be broken. so you're saying, okay, we've learned our lesson with the past two elections. let's fix it so the 12th amendment comes along to straighten out how we get a president. they're finding out what doesn't work and they find that most of the constitution does. so today it is much smaller than senate today but the senators who sat here pretty much do the same things as the senators

elizabeth: let's welcome back ti the show we missed them and wanted him to come back on washington, d.c. police detective ted williams, the defendant police push is backfiring in a spectacular way dozens of shootings over the weekend and philadelphia, washington, d.c. and chicago and the democrats said defend the police, now the running away from that, what do you say. >> they should run away, as you noticed defunding movements started out in minneapolis with the death of george floyd out there and they tried to move the d from the police department and then they started thinking about whether they wanted the deep fun and now they're leaning towards defunding when you look at washington, d.c. they've taken $25 million away from their budget and what i defined as a defunding movement and you havew to look at what's happening over the weekend in washington, d.c. we had the national baseball game a big shootout right outside of the game where three people were hit with bullets and the night before on a friday night we had a 6-year-old child who was shot and killed, thiss defunding the poli

they held a massive demonstration in washington, d.c. some 175,000 people from all walks of life with differing ied yomgs and purposes marched from the white house to the capitol. washington has grown accustomed to this method of voicing dissent. marshals and responsible leadership. the war, racial discrimination and other political issues were made known officers of the metropolitan police were directed to maintain a low visibility profile. their role wads as always to protect the constitutional rights of citizens. intervening to meet unusual situations. there were few laws broken, few arrests. most returned to their homes, jobs, schools but some who came to break the peace stayed on. to shut down the federal government. >> dun tri should respond from coast to coast with demonstrations at universities and communities across this country. >> months before, violence prone members of the new left decided the style, discipline and tactics of peaceful assembly were no longer acceptable. >> good morning and welcome back to the washington jour

don't sit back to let washington, d.c. come up with some deal. you better call members of the united states senate, tell them to actively oppose this measure. we're doing far more than what even the word infrastructure actually means. all the democrats are trying to do here is funnel their agenda into a word that polls well with the american people. but when the actual spending comes do it will be hard-working men and women of our country will be left holding the bag while members of congress slap, high-five themselves and pat themselves on the back for doing something absolutely awful for the american people. elizabeth: well, house democrats reportedly vowing to work against the senate democrats to just undermine this. doctor, excuse me, representative peter defazio, you had a congressman also from california, they were trashing this. they're saying this whole thing is bs. you know, so here is the other thing going on. they haven't written the bill yet. there is no legislation with details yet. even larry kudlow says this feels like obamacare al

they can't go after you in washington, d.c. but the republican representatives don't seem to understand that. they voted though you have broken arm so does not really hold water -- broken the corinth so it does not hold water, they can hold you wherever you are. can you respond? >> i don't appreciate the language. i don't like beg told i'm going to be corralled like i'm a piece of property, especially for minority lmakers that is especially sensitive i would ask the governor to maybe get out a the source and use another word. we're not going to be bullied or intimidated by anyone, including the governor or our colleagues. we have a job to do. i represent 180,000 hard-working men, women, mostly blue-collar workers from san antonio texas, latinos and i am their voice. when people wa to take away their voice at the ballot box, i'm going to stand up and pushed back. i am going to say no and use every tool in my pocket to defend them. the tool i have today is in the texas constitution. for anrepublican, including the governor, if th

but a very popular area, well-traveled area of washington, d.c. shops, restaurants, grocery stores, all kinds of those sorts of things in the area. also big residential area. lots of homes in this area as well. we're lucky that more people weren't shot. >> jim, in the video that you showed us it looked like there were police cars there when there were still shots going on. so do you know, the shots we're hearing, do you know were police involved in a shooting? because it looked like the people running, it looks like there's flashing lights already. >> reporter: yeah. i will say the blue -- got here very quickly, within a matter of minutes. [ siren ] [ inaudible ] within a couple of minutes i would say a dozen or so police cars, ambulances were on the scene of this shooting incident. as i was saying, anderson, even though there may have been a couple of gunshot victims here, we heard a succession of a dozen to 15 i would say gunshots. pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. one after another. and that's what sent people fleeing up and down 14th street in washingt

the democrats there in washington, d.c. forbid the legislature from having a quorum so you can't continue with a vote. want to bring in texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. you've been listening there. dana and i were watching this, too and reflecting on arizona and supreme court ruling from two weeks ago. can these democrats show where a voter in texas was disenfranchised or could be disenfranchised based on this law or the laws of yesterday? >> great question, bill. the answer is no. this is a bill about verification of signatures in the mail and allowing people to mail in their ballots to track their mail-in ballots and about transparency. livestreaming voting centers and expanding voting hours or adding voting hours, not being hooked up to the internet so no would be can be hacked. a paper trail to verify votes. nothing to do with voter suppression. what you just heard were not only lies, these were damn lies. this idea they're fighting for texas, give me a break. you don't run from a fight. they have a constitutional

so authorities there in washington, d.c. are offering a $60,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the death of little naya courtney, an innocent bystander that was in a crowd when a car pulled up and opened fire. in this video you see a silver vehicle driving through an intersection. and then from one second to another once it approaches the intersection you see the muzzle flashes as they open fire. d.c.'s police chief says officers were actually nearby. there's that moment there, fred. it's pretty dramatic stuff. police officers with the washington, d.c. metropolitan police department were nearby. they rushed to the scene. and they desperately tried to save this little girl. even at one point rushing her in their patrol car to the hospital. and sadly she did not survive. five other people, all adults, were injured. their injuries, however, not life-threatening. but really we listened to the update from investigators here and you can hear the outrage in their voice here. the police chi

and andrea, most people in washington, d.c., feel unsafe. andrea probably doesn't because she lives in one of the most exclusive and prestigious tree lined enclaves in the entire capital surrounded by mansions with clawed iron gates and guards and dogs. she even lived near a castle. an actual castle is a few doors down from her. so she takes the chauffeured car to the nbc news studio and she goes back and she doesn't go to those neighborhoods. so she feels safe because alan greenspan is a very tough guy. but that's not the problem. i have another problem with these people in the city here. the suspect from new jersey who smashed the guy, i don't like people in new jersey committing crimes first of all, but punching an officer. to call robberies, terrorist threats. all these lazy d.a.s, they plead these things down because they don't want to waste time and trial and this guy only serve a couple of months and gets paroled and smashes an officer in the head. if they would stop focusing on trying to go after the cfo of the trump organization for

we have poverty in washington d.c. yeah, but a kid who's 13, or when, say, 6 or 7, he or she's behind because they didn't have the chance to go to preschool. maybe the mother's 20 and had the child very young and didn't have opportunity. i often go and i talk to mo, and mo is from guinea, and we talk about african things like this before i go home and start reading and writing. and young kids will come into the store, 4, 5 and 6, they come in to get candy when they should be in preschool, but they're not. and so that person is 6, their mother is, what? maybe 20, 22. and then their grandfather maybe 42. great grandfather maybe 62. so it's not just a generation. it's the generation that preceded them that may not have had opportunities. and, of course, 70% of african-american men never went the high school. so duboise is doing this study. but we've not learned about this study because we have not engaged in -- try to understand it's not enough to say what the social problems are, one must try to solve it. duboise also fo

, d.c., because one thing the democrats from texas are trying to achieve in washington, d.c., they are trying to get the united states senate to drop their filibuster rule. well, think about this. what the texas democrats are doing, they are filibustering in texas to try and get the washington, d.c., democrats to stop a filibuster rule. that is the height of hypocrisy. all they want to do is complain. they want to spread false information about -- i can guarantee you based on what you said in your monologue as well as what the facts are, there is zero chance that the texas law, when it does get past, will be overturned by a court of law, because what we're doing is perfectly constitutional. >> sean: talk about the coverage of people saying that you might have these democrats arrested when they land back in texas, arrested for what, under what statute? >> so what the law is, by constitution, the house sets the rules about what happens when a quorum is broken and what happens is this. and that is once a call on the house has been made, which it has been, than the sergeant at arms of repr

what you have is police officers leaving the washington, d.c., police department in droves. as a matter fact, between now and last year this time, they've had 386 officers leave. 40% of those officers have actually resigned. morale is very low. they don't believe that the city council has the officers back. so that is creating a problem within the ranks of the metropolitan police department. >> mike: here is the view from the white house. >> d.c. is one of the five areas nationwide where a doj launched forces just yesterday. which we are going for -- keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. >> randy come is not going to help? >> you just heard the lion left. that is their tactic. it is an absolute lie to the american people. what they are proposing is preposterous. they will have no impact on crime. if you want to impact crime, you have to confront it head on. you have to understand that it is criminal gangs that are responsible for the violence. it is not the gun sellers and legal establishment. so here is what really needs to be done. we need to go back to old-fashioned

and we will look at a book about washington, d.c. and the struggles, and it's a study of just winning one neighborhood. and duboise went in this whole city. you know, i'm doing a study for the city on washington d.c. i'm trying to find about why so many african-americans have been forced out. but the problem is that the city government and the planners and people who keep the statistics have no systematic way of keeping it. it's almost as if they didn't care. i suppose they do, but so many african-americans are being forced out, and the city's changing so much, and people who decry gentrification yet in some ways are happy with it because it creates a neighborhood where there are more young, well-off. but what about the people who have been forced out? duboise was the first to look at that day by day. you see, people talk about property, and often it's not understand we have poverty in washington d.c. yeah, you have a kid who's 13 or say 6 or 7 and he's behind or she's behind because they didn't get the chance the go to preschool. wh

we'll have the latest from texas and washington, d.c., after headlines. in iraq, at least 64 people were killed and over 100 others suffered burns and smoke inhalation after a fire ripped through a covid isolation ward at a hospital in the city of nasiriyah. monday's fire was fueled by an exploding oxygen canister. a similar blaze in baghdad killed 82 people and injured over a huned others april. the latest disaster came as iraq recorded its highest daily infection rate of the pandemic. and as iraqis have been holding anti-government protests amid shortages of electricity and water during a blistering summer heat wave. oxfam warns a there has been a six-fold increase in people around the world facing famine-like conditions since the start of the pandemic. conflict was the main driver behind the increase, exacerbated by the climate crisis and covid-19's effect on the economy. meanwhile, the wealth of the 10 richest people grew by $413 billion last year -- 11 times more than what is needed to fund the u.n.'s global humanitarian assistance. israel began offe
