who might that include? and we should also say this is a big deal because the doj, as i understand it, they usually resist congressional inquiries like this. >> they do, but what they've said in this case, it's always a matter of balancing the department's interests in keeping its own internal confidences protected and congressional desires to know what happened. in the letter that they have sent to some of these officials, about six of them so far, say, quote, the extraordinary events in this matter constitute exceptional circumstances warranting an accommodation to congress in this case. they say, we, the justice department, don't have any objection and not only that, neither does the white house. president biden has decided not to assert executive privilege, which the white house would normally do for its own institutional purposes. now, the question is, can president trump, who's out of office, assert executive privilege over discussions he had when he was president with the officials who were around him

there's three who came from vietnam who will be participating this afternoon. i think that for a number of reasons i want to introduce him, but including in reference to the past discussions, one of the key ways of talking about would has gone on, what is the harm of the war, is to have the faces and voices of individual people and we are fortunate today to have anne tran, -- who is an agent orange victim and survivor who will be part of a panel this afternoon. we have when food, from project renew who will be on a panel this afternoon, talking about the effort project renew to clear the land mines and the unexploded ordinance and we have a man, who himself is a victim of exploding unexploded ordinance. i also want to take just a moment to mention two people who are not part of the book, but who played a key role in helping to organize this confident rinse in particularly the panel, wednesday afternoon and that's terry province and john mcauliffe from the vietnam peace commemoration committee. we owe a lot to them. he's to introduce chris apathy, he's a profess

who riled that crowd up? and who deployed them to the capitol of the united states for the specific objective of stopping the steal? what he meant of course is us acting. and his vice president, who he talked to on numerous occasions about stopping the election, concluded that that was not legal. that was not within his authority. so he acted consistent with the law. that really annoyed mr. trump. so here we are. we should have had a bipartisan commission. we should are moved that forward. and, yes, we should support the capitol police by adopting a supplemental. by the way, the senate supplemental is more, in terms of dollars, than the house supplemental. so it's not a question of the we spent too much money to do this, to make the capitol safe, to make the capitol police armed, to give them opportunity to get intelligence that they need to conceive. what a distraction that the capitol police weren't prepared . the question is not whether were they prepared, the question is why did american citizens try to c

troops and questions about who lost this country. who lost afghanistan. but the thing is the biden administration and joe biden is going into this with eyes wide open. he knows what pictures might likely emerge from afghanistan. so, too, did donald trump, by the way, who made the same decision that joe biden. he didn't execute the full withdrawal, but wanted the same thing. it just seems, you know, yes, there is opposition, but by some people not just security hawks, per se, but there is some political consensus that despite the pictures that may emerge, it's worth it. >> and that is the key part of the biden calculation. in the sense that the democratic base is anti-war. the trump base is anti-let's not have the united states policing the world. the president believes politically he is on safe footing. again, there will be people way smarter than i about the global challenge three months, six months from now, how bad is it? can you project force from afar? can you use drones, overhead surveillance to prevent the resurgence of terrorism? those are questio

to those who say this is punishing people who have been vaccinated. or it's an inconvenience, they shouldn't have to go through. what do you say? >> well, i am, you know, fed up, quite frankly, anderson. that the people who are vaccinated, frequently, need to take precautions. um, and accede to those who are not vaccinated. it is part of our country, where you think that there is something going on there and you should be responsible for your actions. that is true. but all that said, despite how angry i am, i am going to mask up. it's just -- i heard dr. gupta. a fellow wolverine. say in the previous segment, you are just putting two loops around your ears. it is an inconvenience. but i'm always going to wear a mask, the rest of my life, in a grocery store, indoors, on planes. it is just going to be a facet of life that is inconvenient. but if it protects me, and then -- and in so doing, protects my children, my 83-year-old mother, my -- my mother-in-law, my uncle-in-law. my -- my -- my aunt-in-law. people like that. if that's what i have to do and ke

is unvaccinated, whether it's my 11-year-old son or somebody who is a cancer patient or somebody who refuses to get the shot. and on that subject, jamal, mccarthy said yesterday talking about why these mask requirements are not needed that 85% of congress is vaccinated, so oif 85% of congress is vaccinated and every democrat says they are vaccinated, 16% of unvaccinated, they're all republicans, and that means there's 65 republicans who have not gotten vaccinated. wouldn't it not make more sense to get them vaccinated so that you wouldn't have to have these health requirements to wear a mask in the house? >> it would make sense, but it seems like that's not something anybody's interested in doing, and the reality also is these 65 republicans are probably coming from places that have high covid rates. why? because that tends to correlate with republican communities who are more mask -- or more vaccine hesitant. so it just seems like these walking time bombs of republicans who are walking through the house could easily infect someone else. you're talking about kids. to me it just seems

it is sad we're in this time when because of the people who call themselves patriots who attacked police, who attacked the capitol, this is what we are now dealing with. >> it's the other thing is that what are they doing to the term patriot? i mean, to be called a patriot used to be a great thing. now, i feel it puts you in the league with insurrectionists. you know darn well that if this was blm or if this was actually antifa or muslims that did this, if the equivalent of ashli babbitt had been shot, because by the way, when she breached that door, she put every lawmaker that was present at risk and frankly, if she hadn't been shot, as sad as it is that she was, that she was misled, could you have seen more people breach and more deaths. i tell you, guarantee you, paul gosar would be defending the action of the officer instead of calling that officer who in my mind is a hero a murderer. this is why i think it's so important for us to have conversation again. it's going to take -- my friends on the left, being willing to reach out and not constantly point in and say, you didn't do enoug

who gave the orders, who basically sponsored it? this was from one of the reports that i read, this was a $20 million operation. this is a huge operation in terms of cost. so it would take individuals with heavy financial resources and also lots of hatred towards the president. because to go and assassinate him at his house in his bedroom and shoot his wife to begin with, this is certainly a personal issue. an issue that... as you've indicated it raises all sorts of questions. not least one about security. you were pm up until 2014. you know the kind of security detail that haitian politicians get. i understand that when he travelled president moise had his cavalcade of ten or 12 vehicles with security. it seems extraordinary that he and his wife could be shot in their residence and not a single security official, member of his team was wounded, killed or anything else. well, this is the most shocking of facts. there was no resistance from the presidential guard which has three units, three separate units. it has the presidential gu

people will die who don't have to die. yamiche: as the delta viant spreads, president biden announces new vaccine requirements. and the c.d.c. reverses its mask guidance. next. announcer: this is "washington week." corporate funding is provided b. additional funding is provided the estate of arnold adams and ko and patricia yuen through the yuen foundation, committed to bridging cultural differences in our communies and sardinha and carl delay magnuson. the corporation for public broadcasting and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. once again from washington, moderator yamiche alcindor. yamiche: good evening and welcome to "washington week." the capitol insurrection took place 205 days ago. an the nation is still grappling with how such an attack could have happened in the heart of our democracy? to get to some answers on tuesday, the house select committee investigating january 6 held its first hearing. lawmakers heard powerful testimony from four police officers who defended the capitol

truth live -- [inaudible] against who? the scaffold represents who? it represents the average human being, the working man and woman. the throne represents what? off your held, what does the throne represent? the high and mighty, the king. but the truth will last forever and a lie will stand alone. and so see they're playing with words. so he used those to think about -- [inaudible] with this he wrote this book and became the negro bible, one part sociologicalling and one part deeply spiritual. and that plays -- some of the negro spirituals for you, and you can see the name of some of those if you look on the side there. nobody knows the trouble i've seen, and that was important. nobody knows the trouble i've seen, nobody knows -- anybody knows words? my sorrow. okay, but before that, nobody knows but jesus. now, in the original way it was nobody knows like jesus, and there's a difference queen like jesus and but jesus. -- between like jesus and but jesus. if you say like jesus then you mean somebody else doesn't know the troubles, if you say but jesu

, who is conservative and who is not like my home state senator pat to me right now we seem to have the civil war is going on both party. so the real question i have for you is one of the preeminent pollsters and political advisors in this country is, what do americans want and are the parties as we see them today, realigning reorganizing themselves in ways that are going to be very surprising for us. well, i think that one of the things is that everyone has remarked on, it's just how polarized everything is and people are really struck. i mean, we can take extremely positive policies, but at the infrastructure, viola, the family back, and you just put it in front of it. joe buys plan the infrastructure bill and we get republicans switching for me for the thing by 60 percent to be against the thing by 67 percent. so it's really striking how part of suddenly polarized things are. i will say that the democrats are not very divided and when you look at the polling data, 8695 percent of democrats are behind are united actually. even when there's somebody that we might disagree with on a one

who gets to count the vote. who gets to count whether or not your vote counted at all. is about moving from election administrators who work for the people to polarize state legislators and partisan actors who work for political parties. this is election subversion. the integrity of free and fair election in our history. never before decided to gets to count, count will votes count. some state legislators want to make it harder for you to vote. and if you vote, they want to be able to tell you your vote doesn't count for any reason they make up. they want the ability to reject the final count and ignore the will of the people. if their preferred candidate loses. and they are trying, not only targeting people of color, but they are targeting voters of all races in the background with a simple target, who did not vote for them. thus the target. it's unconscionable. it's hard to declare just how critical it is. it simply unconscionable. we've got to shore up our election system and address election subversion. not

just anecdotally, i know we all know people who are vaccinated and feel safe who have gotten covid. >> yes. >> and haven't ended up hospitalized but have ended up pretty sick, compared to how we thought we would be when we're vaccinated. so, what i wonder, just from a public-health perspective and, frankly, a political perspective because it's about expectations, is whether you say if you, the unvaccinated, don't get your vaccines, you are going to continue to allow this virus to mutate. and for variants to be as -- as -- as infectious as they are. and it will make it impossible for all of us to be -- to be safe. maybe, it's more nuanced than he can be but that is the reality of what's happening right now. >> yeah. let's play what he said about sort of the altar call. >> one of those other networks is not a big fan of mine. one you talk about a lot. but if you notice, as they say in -- in the southern part of my state -- they've had an altar call, some of those guys. all of the sudden, they are out there saying let's get vaccinated. let's get vaccinated. the very people who, before th

the other members who are on the committee, who have experience and patriotism as their calling heart pelosi is responsible for picking who sits on the investigative committee. and has it been heavily criticized by the opposition for rejecting to other republicans who had put their names forward. cheney, though, appears to back policies. decision. pelosi has created a sham process. house. democrats must answer this question. why are you allowing a lame duck speaker? to destroy this institution? this is the people's house, not pelosi, the house, the rhetoric that we have heard from the minority leader is disingenuous. the minority leader has attempted to prevent the american people from understanding what happened to block this investigation. pelosi has accepted 3 other republicans onto the panel, but that hasn't appeased to their party, which is threatening to launch its own investigation into what happened. now, a quick reminder of the events under investigation on january 6th, a violent mob, many of whom were trump supporters, stormed capitol hill after he lost 2 joe biden in the 20

who it's happening to. is it older people or people with underlying medical conditions who got a certain vaccine. we need to understand how many people who get breakthrough infections end up severely ill. it's probably a small number. the more tracking we do, the more it paints the picture that the vaccine protects you well. we also need to know if you're vaccinated and get a breakthrough infection, are you still able to transmit it to others or are you very well protected? that's the question so many parents want to know the answer to and the cdc needs to get these answers to the american people. we need more data and not less. we really cannot repeat the mistakes of the trump administration when the models seem to be if we don't test for it, it's not there. when actually, if you don't test for it, it's there. you just don't know about it. >> one more question related to vaccines, i want to show the importance of the vaccines. with community transmission now at red and orange levels around much of the coun

gonell is a dominican immigrant who served in the u.s. army in iraq. >> what we were subjected that day was like something from a medieval battle. we fought hand to hand, inch by inch, to prevent an invasion of the capitol by a violent mob intent on subverting our democratic process. my fellow officers and i were committed to not letting any rioters breached the capitol. -- breach the capitol. it was a prolonged and desperate struggle as rioters who attempted to breach the capitol said "tr ump sent us." "pick the right side." "we want trump." i heard officers screaming in agony and pain around me. i did not know at that time it was officer hodges. he is here today, to testify. i too was crushed by rioters. i could feel myself losing oxygen and thinking to myself, this is how i will die, defending this entrance. amy: testifying tuesday before the house select committee investigating the january 6 indirect -- january 6 insurrection of the capitol. he mentioned daniel hodges who also testified at the hearing, describing how trump supporters

we had two teachers who were white. one taught us public speaking, trying to learn how to be a preacher. and there was jw brandt who taught us the bible. that was my first real direct contact with them. the preacher who was the president of our school decided his responsibility was to grow and recruit students and raise money, and he went to these black churches and decided that he would take some of these little boy preachers, let them preach. they would go to these black churches, and he would tell them you send us your boy, and we'll send you a man back. i got to be talented pretty good little preacher because he took me around, so i went throughout the southeast. when i finished high school, i knew a little something about preaching. i came back home, lived on the west side of montgomery, and i was going to attend alabama state college for negros. that it was then. it's now alabama state university. it is on the east side of town. so i had to then ride this public transportation system. i would have to walk about th

officers who are not. but it is nonetheless also the case that because these individuals are demonstrating something other than this john wayne-esque sort of toughness they are then therefore necessarily cast as part of the opposition by this right wing that sees toughness as the paramount virtue people can demonstrate. >> they realize -- probably the most important thing you said was john wayne-esque toughness. john wayne was an actor. wasn't a real cowboy. didn't live on a ranch. well, maybe he had a ranch. but he was an actor. natasha, listen. of course there's no recognition that when you're twisting and turning eight feet in the air like simone biles one wrong move and you could be crippled. is this about targeting her because she's a prominent black athlete? because that seems like it's straight out of the as i said, it plays well in the insurrectionist party. and in their playbook. >> oh, yeah. i mean, they would love the idea of simone biles not being as black and excellent as she is. but they can'

you have to care about people first, then politics, how does it work, who wins, who loses and why and then policy . if they give you a job you've got to do it and the more directed your campaigns are the more likely they are to succeed so i would say for your middle school students, i would say first seek out people who aredifferent from you . maybe a different race, maybe a different gender but certainly a different circumstance in life. and get to know them. why do they think the way they do in mark explore your differences. learn early that someone you have a difference with, someone you may be in a contest with is not subhuman and you can learn from them. our enemies are our friends and second thing is i would say is one thing about politics, it's a science and an art and the more it becomes dictated purely by demographic categories the more likely it is to be barren desert of debate. where you are just trying to drive everybody crazy who's not already there. thirdly when you start to think about what you want to write about make sure you know something. when i ran for governor i
