so this is the date that january 6th committee has circled on its calendar. tonight, in primetime, i m john berman, brianna is off, chief white house correspondent kaitlan collins is here. it is the morning before this primetime hearing. and committee members have said there will be more hearings potentially, one or two down the road, but nothing immediate. so it is kind of seen as the closing arguments they re going to be making. i think people will be watching to see how effectively the committee does tonight. and they want people to be watching tonight, which is why they re putting it in primetime. the committee s focus will be, we re told, on the 187 minutes from the end of former president trump s speech on the ellipse, on january 6th, when he sent people to the capitol, to his video asking the rioters to go home. those 187 minutes. they will say that his action or inaction during this time period points to a dereliction of duty. he was, they say, resisting pleas fro
That making any accommodation to shut it down, to do something to it, is very difficult. Narrator two Massive Underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the citys water supply. They run hundreds of feet below manhattan, far deeper than the subways. Built at the beginning of the 20th century, they are concretelined and bored through solid rock. They could last centuries. But the mechanical equipment within them will not. Engineers in the 1950s discovered rust on the tunnels valves. There were concerns that if they closed the valves for tunnel inspections, they may never open again, leaving new york city without water. So they chose to keep them open. As a result, there has not been significant inspection, maintenance, or repair of the tunnels in decades. No one knows their current condition. Hurwitz currently, city tunnel 1 and city Tunnel Number 2 would be feeding each half of the city. So youd lose half the city if you didnt have a replacement. Narrator
We started on this project in 1969. Im a sandhog. Ive been a sandhog for 37 years. Narrator sandhogs are the men of local 147, who work deep below the city. They began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. From the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of their work. Ryan you got one little hole in the ground, and nobody knows were here. See the empire state building, right. Thats 1,000 feet. So you figure, you go down 1,000. How high that is thats how far we go down. Narrator stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. Ryan i dont even want to imagine what my father had to go through. When we first started, it was a rough job. Everything was dynamite. Now, they have these machines called moles. Its like a big drill, and it just cuts right through the ground. So theres no more dynamite. And its still a rough job, but its gotten to a point where its a lot safer. I
That we face in america today. Allbee the clean water act set a floor and basically said, everybodys whos discharging is going to have to have a permit, and to achieve this defined performance level. Narrator the clean water act regulates the discharge of pollutants into surface waters across the nation. It protects our watersheds, our recreational waters, and our Drinking Water intakes. Man today, more than 50 of the nations waters are fishable, swimmable. Thats almost doubled since the clean water act was passed in 72. Narrator another significant component of the clean water act was a federally funded Grant Program to build Wastewater Treatment plants to reduce pollution in the waterways. And many cities built their Treatment Plants with this grant money. Oberstar but even a decade after it was enacted, the Reagan Administration came in and cut the Grant Program to a loan program. And funding diminished over a period of time. Now, we still have 1 3 or more of the nations streams and
