We need that to help empower more law enforcement scrutiny. its controversial and they havent decide wld to do it or not. >> clint, what do you think? >> theres a couple big challenges. theyre talking about increasing information sharing. if we look at this a lot of these militia groups and people that showed up on january 6th had overlapping ties and so thats a tough part. they do a good job of mentioning the need in dod of policing extremism but are not saying what is extremism or is an extrem...

Was comfortable with and just dont go far enough and dont change the outcome. the committee has been looking at this issue for eight years. it is time for a floor vote. i dont think the committee should be allowed to keep sole jurisdiction of this issue since after eight years of work it has failed. we do have 66 co-sponsors. imagine how many bills do we have that have both the support of liz warren and ted cruise and chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell, and thats what we have here. so its widely ...

Not trained the way the federal government governments would be. only large police departments have this. they had cognitive dissidents. they didnt believe the presidents supporters would try to break into the capitol. they did not believe it. the intelligence was there. whether they took that assessment and prepared for it, it just does not seem like they did. thats what caused a lot of confusion in terms of the d.o.d. response, why it took so long to get federal support into the capitol that d...

Intelligence at the capitol police. this has always been a challenge for state and locals, which is how do you do whats called intelligence led policing? i used to design scenarios, even a scenario exactly like january 6th and train it in new jersey with their state police. its a very delicate issue. when does a protest become something that you need to police or investigate as violence. well, you have to have tips and leads. this police department clearly does not have a good intelligence syste...

To the capitol police? >> they would still be under the department of defense as they are across the country, but the idea would be to have more scenarios and contingency groups to help. what we would do would be to allow the new chief of police and that person is being selected by the police board to not have to go through the police board in making emergency calls and not getting answers. ridiculous. but the other part is training for regional national guard. there hadnt been training and plan...

And president biden, on february the 4th, issued a presidential memorandum, something that carries the effect of a presidential directive, making very clear that the protection and in fact the promotion of l6btqi+ rights around the world was once again the policy of the united states. this is our policy around the world, protection under the law, equality here at home is also a priority. you see that across the board whether it is doing away with some of the discriminatory policies that had been...

Saying this does it. we dont need the other investigation. chuck schumer still reserving the right to push forward for something, but right now the republicans are opposing it. >> we must keep pushing them. it is not over yet, right? the need for this report will go on for many, many years. the public saw with horror through the eyes of the impeachment hearing the videos and what happened. as speaker pelosi said, we will keep having hearings, but not a replacement for one big report. i remember ...

To paraphrase Jimmy Durante, “Everybody wants to get into the UFO act!” It started with the release of Navy radar images and photos of ship and pilot encounters and got hot when the Pentagon agreed to issue a report on UFOs – still scheduled for this month. Presidential candidates were asked about them during the 2020 campaign and late night talk show hosts seemed to ask every guest about them.
