She's still working on something.
Do you have no problem?
You're trying to make me look good, Frederica.
You look great.
It would not be hard to make you look good.
You look great.
I love, as always, your glasses.
I wish I could do that.
No, do you need a minute or no?
We might need a minute.
I can't tell.
Representative Moore, do you need a minute or should we go ahead?
Just give us one minute.
Okay.
I mean, the key point is that it's a state that is split 5050,
but it's represented in Congress 75.5.
Got you.
All right.
That's fine.
I'm good.
Just like that.
Okay.
I'm afraid my paper is going to be for Evelyn.
You're fine.
Okay.
Mark, come back in and help me get served.
Don't let me do any of this on my own, Frederica.
Not like the good old state legislative days when I could just pop without any prep.
Just, you know, my staff, let me say whatever I wanted to say.
Not so much anymore.
I think you can be well trusted, but I don't, I don't work in those circles.
So I don't know how that goes.
We are ready to report.
Okay, you're set.
Okay.
Stand by then.
In Washington, Democrats could block funding for Homeland Security when it expires next
Friday, unless there are, in their words, dramatic changes to how immigration operations are
conducted.
This comes in the aftermath of the deaths of two protesters in the midst of the enforcement
surge in Minneapolis.
In Wisconsin, all six Republican members of Congress voted this week for the Stop Gap
spending plan, both Democratic House members in Wisconsin voted against, including U.S.
Representative Gwen Moore of Milwaukee.
She joins us now from Washington.
And thanks very much for being here.
Oh, thanks for having me, Frederica.
Always good to be with you.
So why did you vote no on the Stop Gap spending for Homeland Security?
Well, Frederica, I was being very consistent.
I voted against the bill when it passed the House and went on to the Senate.
The Senate then, Senate Dems managed to create a negotiation where they split the bills
theoretically.
Five bills to pass as is.
And the Homeland Security bill to have a two week Stop Gap.
When it came back to the House, I truly expected it to have an opportunity to vote on separately
on the other five bills and Homeland Security.
But I had exactly one vote and I decided to stick with my initial vote because of the
egregious way that these, you know, you know, rogue forces were operating.
And of course, as you mentioned, they killed two people.
And further, they've jailed children, American citizens, destroyed property, and just terrorized
our communities.
And I just couldn't in good conscious knowing that I had an opportunity to vote and stick
a pin in this to not do so.
So what specifically are you and others seeking around accountability measures for these federal
agents and these immigration enforcement actions?
Frederica, it's really common said stuff.
I mean, it's really targeted enforcement.
I mean, what happened to probable cause?
You know, you probably, you think this person is probably a murderer or a rapist or a robber.
You have, you've investigated it and, you know, you might make a mistake.
But this is probably the person that you're looking for.
You just don't stand around the airport and arrest anybody who's there, you know, because
they look like they're Somali or they're brown or you certainly don't arrest them because
they are a bystander blowing a whistle saying, I get out of here.
We want them to have no masks.
I mean, this is horrifying.
You know, Frederica, would any of us tolerate mass people not in uniform, but just dark
clothes and hoodies to come up and kidnap us, require some identification.
What's wrong with a badge and a badge number?
What just happened?
What's wrong with a badge number?
