eye-opening here, jim and erica, that we are spending more and seeing more lives lost as well. this is consistent message as well for some time, and other studies have indicated the same and is there some recommendations for the outcomes for the spending of that money? one of the researchers says that americans are living shorter lives because the health care system is not working as well as it could be to catch up with the other high income countries administration and congress would have to expand health care and act aggressive to health care costs and invest in services that would lead to a healthier population, and this is is the take away, jim and erica, and we will have to see what happens moving forward and how the lawmakers respond moving forward. it is a big policy change. thank you. and now, over 1,000 flights cancel and snarling traffic on
because one of these areas that is so where people push back is the cost associated with it and then what you run into is state laws on record retention and what the state law so in kentucky which has strong collective bargaining, a sizable amount of my operations were dictated by state law. well, as a chief trying to drive change that s extremely difficult. so i do think there is room a role for congress. but you re saying that if qualified immunity were the sticking point again, that there could be positive change even if that was set aside? absolutely. absolutely. understood. well, chief erica shields serving both in atlanta and louisville, kentucky, thanks so much for joining us this morning. thank you. dozens of migrants are currently camped out on a new york city sidewalk, they re protesting the city s plans to move them from a midtown hotel to a relief center. we will take you there live next.
would a cultural fix be accomplished exactly? so the legislation last year really got held up on qualified immunity. yeah. what i would say is it s an important piece but the reality of it is these officers could care less about qualified immunity, they filmed themselves killing a man. it s not to say it s not important but i do think there s room for legislation to be done that is proactive. so, for instance, there are body worn camera analytics coming on the market now so that as i saz a chief i can actually put in key phrases that i want. so imagine you put in that you want to get beat somebody s tail or a racial term and i can start identifying behaviors before we get to this point. so i think that there s we ve put so much investment into technology to fight crime that we need to look inwardly and leverage that technology to weed out behavior. so i think that and i do think congress has a role here
biden, not donald trump or mike pence, shocking. is this a flat no? it most certainly is not a flat no. the most important words in your intro was at least for now. i signed letters like this throughout my entire time at the justice department. congress sort of tends to see itself as because we have background checks and we re the congress for the american people, you can just trust us with information. this is active evidence in a criminal investigation. a lot of the people being investigated don t know they are. it s not just the president, it s record keepers and assistants. you don t want to risk spooking witnesses. it is private information for now but in almost every circumstance they end up finding some agreement at the end and turning something over, but just not today. if you go across to the senate, which most people in washington think is more adult than the house, you have the senate intelligence committee
out of mar-a-lago including china. there was a chinese spy arrested at mar-a-lago and it was in an unsecure location at mar-a-lago. so would you apply that same concern evenly across the board? if someone can show me evidence that there was influence peddling with those classified documents that were in the possession of president trump, then we would certainly it would have influence peddling. b, chairman comer knows the justice department got a search warrant because they had, a, testimony from a witness and, b, video evidence that surveillance cameras that there was something wrong happening at mar-a-lago. what can i add to that? it speaks for itself. there s a highly political and highly performative aspect to the public request for these things. whether it s the house or whether it s the senate, whether it s just the gop conference or whether it s bipartisan leadership, the committee chairs and rankings in congress in both
