rich price, thank you very much. that is all in on this tuesday night. as a fellow brown graduate, i feel the same way. you know, unfortunately so much death and destruction becomes abstract. and when there s some sort of foothold you have into your own reality i think it makes it at once difficult and easier to be involved in the story. so i m with you on that my friend. thanks to you at home for joining me this evening. approximately 140 police officers were injured on january 6th when a violent mob stormed the capitol. one of those officers was james, a 17-year veteran of the capitol police. this is how he described that day to pbs news outlet. we just hear just noise and people running at me as far as i can see from the crypt all the way to the north side of the capitol is running at us. as bad as it looks on film, believe me it was much worse. they can stitch together as much footage as they want to, but i can tell you and anybody who was in that scrum will tell
neil: all right. day 100 tomorrow. we ll have the latest on what the white house is doing to prepare for the big day. erin? it s really about this rally tomorrow in pennsylvania. as you know, it s a campaign-style rally and he will talk about all of the accomplishments from the first 100 days. he s said that this mark isn t particularly that important but the white house is pushing out a lot this week. a lot of briefings, a lot of markers and the biggest things they ll talk about is getting supreme court justice neil gorsuch confirmed. neil: he s also talking about he s getting a bum rap on these 100 days. it sticks in his crawl. yeah, there s been a big change. the white how is getting their sea legs. more action is coming out.
from new york city police officer and director of black law enforcement alliance. and jonathan capehart of the washington post. thank you both for being here. thanks, rev. thank you. mark isn t it important for the justice department to step in and address issues in places like cleveland? it s absolutely important. it s vital. and what is interesting is much of what you ve mentioned previously and what was in the justice department recommendation list are things that basically reaffirm that which is already on the books. in the police department s own regulations themselves. but it s vitally important that there be some level of oversight on police agencies. we cannot allow any police agency to operate independently of the law and of the federal government. we just can t allow that to happen. it doesn t need to be a situation where we re federalizing police. but there must be some oversight and monitoring of police actions. jonathan was there any
improving the police department in cleveland? absolutely nothing. but this is the kind of talk that we are hearing. and it s becoming a theme. what we re looking at in terms of this administration, because what we are looking at in my judgment is an outright campaign against law enforcement. well welcome to president obama s 21st century transformation of the institution of policing. and it s been a disaster. crime is going to go up. it s going to happen in baltimore. it s going to happen in cleveland. it s going to happen in new york. it s going to happen everywhere you point fingers at cops. reforming police departments isn t pointing fingers. it s about addressing abuses and rebuilding trust. that kind of reform will drive down crime and help officers do their jobs more effectively. and it s irresponsible to blame violence on those working to make our police departments better for all involved. joining me now is mark claxton
they didn t like him before but they do like his brother george bush. maybe it s time george w. bush come out and stand beside jeb bush. you look at quinnipiac you see why i m saying this. 80% of iowa caucusgoers love jeb bush numbers are high among tea party and evangelicals. i assume it would be the same in south carolina. maybe george w. bush is bush s answer mark? if you hold your breath you are going to turn blue. we will not see george w. bush on the campaign trail but he has been involved in his brother s campaign back in march. he attended a fundraiser. in many ways that could be the role for george w. bush. i spoke to an adviser in the last 20 minutes or so they were talking holistically about the campaign want to talk about the future don t want to talk about the past. when you have george w. bush in any pictures out there campaigning, you re talking about the past carol. that s really the point,
