increasing gun violence has been diminishing the protest movement and efforts to fundamentally change the role of police. yes, we have our work cut out for us at the city. cops need to get paid more and fired more. we need to make sure that we re incentivizing the best-possible, most skilled and professional individuals that have deep-seeded connections with their community. reporter: the minneapolis ballot initiative was a first major electoral test of reform since the murder of george floyd and the ramifications of the initiative s defeat are resonating nationwide. and i think what you saw is the american people say we want a change in the police but maybe that means increasing, investing, and developing, not taking away. reporter: but reformers, despite tuesday s defeat, continue to demand change. anyone who recognizes how social movements work, recognizes that movements lose until they win. reporter: ryan young, cnn atlanta, georgia. ryan young, thanks. joining nous,
about all of this. joining nous, congressman john garamendi, a democrat who serves on the house armed services committee. thanks for joining us. let s discuss the late-breaking developments. as you know, the president is touting mohamad bin salman, the crown prince, the denials from him, the denials from the king. do you think there s any chance that the crown prince was in the dark about this murder? i have no idea, but we do know this. saudi arabia, their operatives, perhaps under the direction or not, carried out this horrendous, green souesome atta this murder. the country is responsible. we ought not spend all of our time trying to figure out whether the crown prince or the king knew about it. the fact of the matter is the country did it. now, what are we going to do? when are we going to stand up and say that this kind of attack on journalists and journalism is not part of the american creed? we ve got a president that has
ways, and that was the year that the president found himself, eventually, drowning in scandal and watching the house judiciary committee draw up articles of impeachment. and so the nixon health care bill never came to a vote. and impeachment never came to a vote either because richard nixon resigned. joining nous, opinius now, opin from washington post. this is starting to feel like the legislative season of 1974 with just as much as the trump agen agenda. the only difference, to the very end understood foreign policy and competent in that arena and president isn t competent in any arena. listen, the agenda was stalled before we hit the skids here. it s an unpopular agenda, there s no popular support for giving tax cuts to rich people.
