Near the attention and importance it deserves. In washington where we dont agree on anything, where somebody thinks its bipartisan to have a bill that actually nobody from the other party votes for, there is one thing where we all ought to be coming together and paying a lot of attention to. In an era of great competition, americas intelligence capabilities are never more important than ever. Weve had a succession of president was bush to obama to trump to biden who have all said what are the great concerns, what are the great destabilizing factors in the world today. And they all list north korea, russia, china, iran, among other things. But intelligence on these threats and other concerns is the front line of American Security. We have not had an indepth intelligence conversation about the reforms and capabilities and what were bringing to the table for over a decade. Its long past due. Today we have an Incredible Opportunity for a great conversation with two unbelievable professiona
Making waves. That scientist will look familiar to you. It is dr. Peter hotez who appears frequently on this program and made his mission in covid to reach out to all americans of all political per vagss to anticombat science disinformation and appears on fox news and news max and tmz and last night tweeted an article in a fringe right wing blog loaded with disinformation posted the contact information, Phone Numbers and emails and urged followers to contact him directly after falsely accusing him of committing violence through his work.

He adds quote even though rationally you know they have a political agenda and use your name for nefarious purposes it can still mess with your head. Even after all these years. The emails compare him to a nazi scientists. Some call him the devil. He posted some xampls on his twitter feed. We have rev
I dont want to do the me up front. [indiscernible voices] let me just say this to the press on behalf of the Congressional Black Caucus. We come today as a group 56 strong. Our message today is, this verdict, we certainly agree with guilty on all charges. But we want our message to be very clear that this is just the first step. We know, clearly, that custis has been delayed that justice has been delayed. So when we come today, we will continue to say all the names. Bullfight continuously for all of those who have died or been injured senselessly by law enforcement. We know that there are still the mothers, families, children who are shedding tears today because a verdict will not bring back their Family Members. While we agree today, there is so much emotion that we have collected and gathered as members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and that is why i have asked all the members to come. Our members afterwards will give you their statements, but for our statement of the Congressio
Atty. Gen. Garland good morning. Like so many of you, i have closely watched the events in minnesota. Although the states prosecution was successful, i know that nothing can fill the void that the loved ones of george floyd have felt since his death. My heart goes out to them and to all those who have experienced similar loss. I know such wounds have deep roots and many communities experienced those wounds firsthand. Yesterdays verdict in the state criminal trial does not address potentially systemic policing issues in minneapolis. Today, im announcing that the Justice Department announced a opened a civil investigation to see if minneapolis engages in unconstitutional or unlawful policing.
