Be made permanent and the speaker of the house is rather ominously warning that quote the enemy is within. The acting chief of the Capitol Police department recommended the fence remain around our Capitol Building indefinitely and that there be a Back Up Force always stationed nearby to respond to any such violence. This follows yesterdays warning from our own department of Homeland Security about the potential for attacks by those inspired by the assault three weeks ago now. And an attack even Donald Trumps former defense second said was fomented by the former president and all of it because of the big lie. A lot of members of congress have received threats to their lives while in washington. And back home in their districts. 32 members of congress have now asked House Leadership for more protection. We will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives. A threat that members are concerned about. In addition to what is
Us to deal with. And i love the way you two talked about whats happening and whats going to happen. Well, i mean, shes setting the tone for the administration. We have actually heard a lot from the new president in the past eight days. He has spoken publicly a lot. But we are hearing even more from jen psaki in the briefing room, and shes setting this tone of normalcy, accountability, Expository Work that tells us what the administration thinks the problem is, what they are doing to work on it, who is in charge of that work.

We will probably need a supplemental for more security for members when the enemy is within the house of representatives. A threat that members are concerned about in addition to what is happening outside. What did you mean that the enemy is within in. We want to bring gun on the floor and have threatened violence on other Members Of Congress.

It is now three weeks since the january 6th attack on the capitol. A day that will live on in american history. People will study that day for decades and probably centuries to come and the majority of republican Members Of Congress who again voted on the side of that mob voted to overturn a free and fair democratic election, to install the loser over the winner against the will of the people, the majority of republicans, the ones who have done that, they have nothing to get back on the right side of the boundary they all crossed that day. On january 6th, with their votes, the members moved from what might be called the government of a loyal populous moved into Something Different and dangerous. Today nancy pelosi described the terrifying situation they find themselves in. I do believe and i have said th
