washington d.c. police officers who responded to the insurrection at the capitol have died by suicide. since the january 6th attack, four officers who defended the site that day have taken their own lives. washington d.c. police officer gunther hasheda was found at his home, he was an 18 year veteran of the force it was assigned to the response team with the special operations division that helped protect the capitol that day. we also learned that kyle defraytag died on july 10th. he was just 26 years old and had been with the department since november of 2016. just days after the january 6th attack, two other officers died by suicide. their families said their deaths were the result of the capitol riot. more than 100 officers from d.c. and capitol police were injured defending the capitol that day. >> and you know, willie -- >> what more do you need. >> -- when you look at what these officers have done, what they've been through, the held that they've been through, being beaten up and brutalized by

the goal of the democrats who did this stunt coming to d.c. was to draw attention to it to a state level issue which there's nothing that d.c. can really do about it but, again, they were pushing for the federal congress to actually pass this john lewis bill or this other voting thing they want to do which i think they think will override what happens in texas. that's very much a long shot. they got some attention. they had a nice field trip. didn't seem to work out too well, though. >> right. let's get to this. this is about the reform bill. i want to pull up this full screen about what it does. it's new id requirements for voting by mail, adds restrictions on unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and bans 24 hour polling locations and drive-through voting. talk about why this is good for the state of techses, especially with the -- texas, especially with the issues we're seeing at the border. >> whether it's good or bad, it doesn't seem like they're doing too much there, seems like common sense reforms to give everyone the security, all vo

the thrust of these quite common d.c. arguments is not really about what will be perfect for policies, rather this exit policy will somehow destroyed or shattered or defying the biden's policy in the eyes of the public. it is what we try to do around here, journalism. i will tell you here what the evidence suggests. even though most americans uphold the taliban and see downside to tough decisions. there are a ton of support for the withdrawal policies and lightening the entire u.s. footprint. the sheriff people who agree to president biden that this war became unwinnable is higher than what the public thinks on a range of big divisive issues from elections to covid policies. 62% of americans agree with biden's view there on the unwinnable war. new polls taken during the fall of kabul when worse images coming out. any pollster or political scientist can tell you. these kinds of numbers are a floor because they come amidst these withdrawal. it is not historically we see the public planning to reengage a country when they le
