government or by the cia or the fbi. when i was at the cia, jim, we had people drive up to the front gate of the cia, saying that they wanted us to help them remove the listening devices that we had put in their heads. there are people like this everywhere. so my point is if you think that you can -- that the federal government can identify these people, do not look at the case, look at 330 million people. assume that, let's say, one half of 1%, one-tenth of 1%, whatever it is, have this kind of mental health issues. even if you could find them all, you would not have the resources to follow them all. i think we lost an officer but this individual didn't breach the compound. i don't think you can find individuals like this beforehand. >> charles, police say when the suspect got out of his car he went after the officers with a knife. what do you make as the knife being used as a weapon here? >> well, i mean i don't know. i know phil is more of an expert on this than i am certainly, but it just seems to me like, you know,

. >> you your own cia director william burns admitted that leaving afghanistan creates a significant risk of terrorism resurgence in the region. cnn has new reporting that cia operators and special operations forces are almost certain to leave afghanistan as well. so how can you protect america and prevent al qaeda and isis from resurging without an intelligence presence on the ground? >> it is true, as the cia director said, we won't have the same level of presence on the ground that we did when we had 3,000 troops or 30,000 troops or 100,000 troops. but the cia director also said we will retain sufficient capabilities so we will have months of warning before al qaeda is able to gather an external plot to threaten the homeland. even more important, dana, the terrorist threat has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. it's not just about afghanistan anymore. al qaeda is in yemen. isis is in somalia and iraq. isis is in smoel yeah. so we need to allocate our resources in a way that allows us to protect the homeland against a variety of threats from a variety of countries and con

he feared the cia and talked about suffering a ffflictions fm the cia and in general the government. he also talked about the nation of islam and his followings of the nation of islam and the minister there, louis farrakhan. that is something investigators are looking at as well. certainly a lot of concern over what has been going on in this individual's life in the last couple of months, in the last several years. he lost his job, according to officials. that is something that officials are looking towards as well. so they're going to probably tell us more later today as to what they found in terms of going backwards, going through his digital media, his cell phones, other information. then hopefully later today we'll learn more about what investigators are finding. they still haven't relayed any kind of specific motive as to why he chose yesterday to do this. the thing with the knife, the fact that he used a knife in this incident is something that investigators are deeply looking at, because it's more than just ramming of a vehicle. in some of these incidents someone walks out wit

chapman has a long bitter memory, especially with the cia. it was attacked in 2009 and multiple, many cia officers were killed in that attack. just yesterday the taliban, according to u.s. officials, attacked the air base in kandahar, a base also where u.s. troops are located. so where are we right now? the biden administration is giving no indication it's going to meet that may 1st deadline, instead still talking to the taliban, still negotiating to try and get them to agree to give the u.s. more time. there are 2,500 u.s. troops openly serving in afghanistan, but here's what's so critical. there are about another thousand, 700, u.s. troops working for the cia, many in covert status also in afghanistan trying to deal with the counterterrorism situation there. so the real question is can the u.s. make a decision to finally pull out of afghanistan? will it leave troops for counterterrorism? is there still concern that if the u.s. leaves, the taliban is still strong enough to possibly move in and try and take control in that country. >> crucial

. >> joining me now is democratic congresswoman ab gal spanberger, a former cia case officer who sits on foreign affairs committee. congresswoman, thank you for being with us this morning. you started your cia career at the beginning of the war on terror and i know your work remains classified. but fighting terrorism was a major part of it. so i want to ask you, as someone who has dedicated your whole life to this fight, was it worst the cost in blood and in treasure? >> we had a very clear mandate when the united states of america went into afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks and that was to go after those who gave safe harbor to the perpetrators of 9/11. and ultimately we took on, we the united states of america, we took on years worth of efforts to undo this the strong holds that had given birth to al qaeda, safe harr harbor to al qaeda and allow for the creation of the organizations that would ultimately attack us on 9/11. and so we have achieved the goals that we set out to -- to follow hitting at the heart of al qaeda, killing osama bin laden, going after those who gave safe harb

in them he writes about the fbi and cia and u.s. government creating terrible affliction shuns. he also talks about mind control as well, and he posted this. it's a video of nation of islam leader louis farrakhan, and labeled as the u.s. government is the number one enemy of back people. so far we don't totally know his incorrective, and if he was anyone out there that may have been working with him or may have given him some advice or counseled his his aggress. >> and boris, it's raising new questions about the security on the capitol, and whether it was the right move to remove some fencing. that understandably has driven everybody in crazy in washington, bus was put up in the aftermath for everybody's discussion. what do you think hack to that now. >> reporter: lawmakers had been complaining about the added security and all the barriers. of course, you know, if you watch closely and look at the scene of where this happened, green's car wouldn't have been able to access that point if the barriers had still been up. notably there's a conversation about whether the capitol is an

a brigade of cuban exiles, armed and trained by the cia, return to their homeland to carry out a daring mission. >> we were just desperate to jump. >> reporter: known as brigade 2506, they numbered roughly 1500. farmers, doctors, fishermen, engineers and teenagers, some of them not yet 18 years old. >> we are so young, we are going to die tonight. >> reporter: united by the dream of toppling fidel castro. as revolution revoked property rights, stifled free expression and brutally squashed any form of decent. johnny lopez de la cruz said witnessing an innocent friend get killed by firing squad led to action. >> i started looking for a place to start working against the government. >> reporter: the mission led to clandestine cia-backed camps in florida and guatemala, and all thely the bay of pigs. >> clearly, all of us knew that we could get killed. but frankly, the thought that never passed my mind that we could lose. >> reporter: under a plan originally devised by the eisenhower administration, the united states would help the brigade with air support. but after three days of intense fi

he talks about suffering after f afflictions from the fbi, the cia and other government agencies. he said he was a follower of the nation of islam and of its leader louis farrahkahn. they are trying to reach family members, people who knew the suspect to try to get a picture of what he was thinking, what he was saying perhaps in recent days. he talks in some of these postings, wolf, that because of these mental afflictions, these medical issues he was having, he lost his job. so he's suffered a lot recently. he says to be honest, these past few years have been tough, these past few months have been tougher. i have been tried with some of the biggest, unimaginable tests in my life. >> it's interesting that in one of these comments that he made on social media, evan, he said, quote, i have suffered multiple home break-ins, food poisonings, assaults, unauthorized operations in the hospital, mind control. that's significant there. it would suggest this is an individual who had some serious mental problems. >> reporter: right, exactly. that's one of the things in talking to law enforce

. >> so the cia director william burns says one of the concerns is that if u.s. presence goes away in afghanistan, it could create a situation where terrorists could get a toehold yesterday and he testified saying when it comes time for the u.s. military to withdraw t government's ability to collect and act on facts will diminish. that's simply a fact says william burns. is there any reason not to believe that's simply a fact? >> there's the fact that things will change if there aren't coalition forces there, but we believe our posture in the region will be at a level where we can maintain our threat against -- >> change or diminish? >> we will not have the same level of daily intelligence, but at a strategic level, in terms of being able to know whether or not al kai the da or isis is developing an external plotting capability, which they do not currently possess. we have degraded al qaeda to that point. we have taken out their leader, to a strategic effect whether they're gaining that, we'll have months of warning as our intelligence community has told us, and

nick, the cia director says gathering intelligence and acting on potential threats will diminish when the u.s. pulls its troops out but the president thinks the withdrawal outweighs that, the benefits of the withdrawal outweighs that. >> reporter: essentially after 20 years if you haven't won the war or got yourself in a position where you say your job is done then what less is there to try and arguably the u.s. have tried a surge, they've tried withdrawing that surge, tried just doing counterterrorism and they've tried peace talks. so essentially the months ahead will be a unilateral american withdraw here according to what we heard from president joe biden. at the same time they want diplomacy to take hold, they want the taliban to come to peace talks in istanbul on saturday week and at the same time they are hoping that they can continue to fund the afghan security forces here and there was some wiggle room possibly in president joe biden's speech suggesting if u.s. forces are attacked on the way out then they may retaliate against the taliban, including if their partners are attac

he says that the fbi and cia, and other government agencies are behind some of his afflictions, and he says because of those inflictions he recently lost his job. again, this tells you that this is a person in distress recently and it's not exactly clear why he chose to do the -- to do this today, but it tells us that, you know, at least according to these postings that this is somebody who believes the u.s. government is the enemy and, you know, that could suggest why he decides that he's going to drive to the seat of the federal government, the u.s. capitol, to try to carry this out. again, there's a lot more work that -- that officials are working on here. we know that there's at least a virginia's driver's license that is associated with him. officers, investigators are going to that address. they are going to talk to neighbors, family members, to try to get a better picture of what he was thinking, to understand perhaps what maybe he said he was going to do if he said something. those are all things that are now part of this investigation, wolf. >> it's very significant informatio

through some of them where he talks about how he has afflictions that he suffered as a result of the cia and fbi and government agencies of the united states and another posting that the fbi is reviewing that he talks about how the u.s. government is the number one enemy of black people and it was a link to a post which shows the minister khan. these are troubling things that he's writing here. he's suffering multiple home break-ins and food poisoning and the mind control he talked about and someone was controlling his mind. obviously these are all things that is the fbi is looking at. i have talked to sources who said that it does appear that there was something going on here in this individual's life and almost immediately a lot of officials that i was talking to and pointing to that was partially perhaps demoted here and they're working through this investigation and also what we learn that he lost his job so that's something that authorities are looking at. all and all as you say, don, here we have another situation where someone perhaps has things going on in their life and their he

other defense officials suggests it's likely this will dismantle the cia network. others disagree, of course. they said it's time to get out just as joe biden says. what is your reaction to those criticisms? >> well, you know, in it is highly possible, if not probable, there will be bad outcomes of the u.s. leaving. the question is whether the outcomes would be any better if we leave in a year or two years or five years. i mean, i think ultimately what biden was saying is that we cannot solve this problem unless we are willing to, you know, essentially stay there forever. that is the gamble that he is making. >> very quickly, to russia now, the biden administration says there will be consequences if kre kremlin critic navalny dies in prison as a result of the hunger strike. what might the consequences be? where could the issue take relations with russia? >> i think this is, you know, the clearest turning the page. one of the clearest turning page. trump found a way to kind of tempize on russia and not excuse their behavior. biden is making very clear he wants to re

a third post says there are terrible afflictions by the cia and the fbi. now he is not all that far away from here, and some of his fellow football players say they saw similar posts like the one i just described on his facebook account some as recently as only a few weeks ago. one of his fellow football players said he was going through some stuff for sure. security here only getting tighter. you see the high fence around the capitol perimeter. now there are new concrete barriers behind it and nothing here being taken to chance. >> okay, coming up we'll have a update on the worsening crisis, and a ygrowing outrage. >>> and high profile arrests in a country known for stability. why the former crown prince says he can't leave his home. stay with us. ♪ ♪ it shows! our new dove advanced care formula is effective... and kind to skin, leaving underarms cared for and you... more confident and carefree. are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort? taking align can help. align contains a quality pro

you know what he said about the fbi and the cia is sort of out to get him, the attacker. he said "to be honest these past few years have been tough and past few months have been tougher. i have been tried with the biggest and unimaginable tests of my life." it seems this person is mentally ill and it seems his trouble were building on this unfortunate crescendo. >> this is the question -- is there an indication of violence. based on what you were talking about and without an indication of violence, have you asked state local and law enforcement to intervene? the second question is tougher but i think more intriguing and important for america is when the fbi or the state local and police officials do interviews tonight or look at his social media, do they see indication there were triggers and what we would call a red flag -- [ inaudible ] >> i am not sure if there is anything we can do and i am not hearing anything that would be a trigger. >> chief ramsey, they have multiple officers killed in the past three months because of attacks on the capitol. and you know this offi

he posted about the fbi and cia using mind control against him. he claimed people were slipping things in his drinks and poisoning him through his food that an operation had been done on him at the hospital without his consent. the type of red flags that i am sure investigators will look at as they investigate the mental health side of this tragic attack. perhaps most alarming just a few hours before he did drive up to the capitol on friday, he posted something on his instagram, a video of the leader of the nation of islam. somebody who spreads hatred about a bunch of groups and that post said, you can see it right here that the u.s. government is the number one enemy of black people. investigators are going to be looking at that. they have not said whether if there is any motive behind this yet. there are clues out there on the internet and it is a little bit disturbing, pam. >> yeah, considering one officer lost his life in the line of duty there. marshal cohen, thank you for bringing us the latest. >> still to come. former president trump delib

he talked about how he had afle afflictions from the cia and fbi and one comment after onecommon t -- commenter on the post said i suffered multiple home break-ins, food poisoning, mind control. a portrait of someone deeply disturbed. this is part of what now the fbi and the metropolitan police here in washington are investigating. the metropolitan police are in charge of the investigation trying to see what is, what was the motivation here. he talks about how the u.s. government is his enemy so did that drive him to go to the seat of the u.s. government of the power of the federal government today? that's something that the investigators are talking to family members. people who knew him to try to get a little sense of his mind set in the last few days and certainly in the last few hours before he carried out this attack. >> all right. thank you very much, evan. it is deeply disturbing when you see this more and more. these new details you're learning. i want to go to brian todd now. he's outside the capitol and brian, you hear evan's reporting, a disturbing day for your city. a city

he appears to have claimed the fbi and the cia were using mind control against him. he also claimed that people were poisoning his food and drinks. he did say, as well, he was a zro zroeted -- devoted follower of the nation of israel leader who is known for bigotry and racism and hate speech. marshall cohen, cnn, new york. >> thank you. >>> a bold new claim from jordan's government accusing the former crown prince and his associates of plotting to overthrow his half brother. king abdullah ii. that's next. ou with career coaching for life. including personal branding, resume building, and more. that's our promise to you. that's career services for life. real progress? learn more at phoenix.edu when you're affected by schizophrenia, that's career services for life. you see it differently. it's in the small, everyday moments. and in the places, you'd never expect. a little sign of hope. the feeling of freedom. and once these little moments start adding up, that's when it feels like so much more. it feels like real progress. caplyta effectively treats adults with schizop

number one enemy of black people and talks in another post he was having aflicks presumably from the cia and fbi and other government agencies. again, he appears to have paranoia. he appears to believe that the government was responsible for some of his afflictions including what he said caused him to lose his job. and so what the investigators are trying to figure out now is was mental illness part of the reason why he came to the capitol today? again, it appears to be some kind of political issue he seems to have about the u.s. government, and again this is an investigation still only at the beginning as they try to talk to friends and family, try to understand what happened in the recent days that may have triggered today. >> julia, you heard evans say the suspect he believed the government was targeting with him mind control. do you think that january 6th in a any any way -- >> i think january 6 is relevant but not likely in this case. i think january 6 is relevant in the sense that you just described, that it may have shown to the world vulnerabilities of the capitol. on the other h

the motive remains unclear, but cnn has learned that just last week the suspect ranted about the cia and fbi. pete muntean joins us from capitol hill. they are disturbing details and the post he made online. >> reporter: investigators are just starting to dig into the past of noah green to figures out hi exact motive. he has social media posts appearing to become to an instagram account there's a trio of posts before yesterday's attack, one was i have suffered multiple home break-ins, food poisonings, unauthorized operations and mind control. the second post a meme features a head of the nation of islam, he said, the u.s. government is the enemy of black people. a third post describes terrible aflick, pre -- afflictions. he's a 2019 graduate, said to have played football there, and said to have been a pretty good athlete. the head of the department of homeland security says this investigation is just beginning and there's a lot to glean here, but right now no chances being taken with the security here. the black fencing back there, that is what went up not long after the january 6th

we've been talking about, where he talks about concern over being afflicted by the suffering, by the cia and fbi. other government agencies. he also talked about how the u.s. government, their enemy of the black people and also talked about in one posting where he wrote how he suffered multiple home break-ins, food poisoning and then he talked about something to do with mind control. this has all investigators thinking and leaning towards the fact this individual was suffering from some kind of mental illness. they had been talking to family members and friends. he also recently lost his job, so they're looking at that perhaps as a factor to what was going on in his life that would have led him to this brutal attack. one of the things, as we've been talking about this attack, yes, he used his vehicle but it's what he did after that is really troubling for law enforcement and what they're really focusing on is the fact he then had this knife and attacked police with this knife. and as we said, he was not on anyone's radar. it wasn't like the fbi had him on their radar or local law enforce

he also talked about his concern over the fact that somehow he was afflicted by the cia and the fbi and railing against the u.s. government. from talking to sources, what we've learned is that certainly mental illness, there is a component of that here and this is something that investigators are looking at, talking to his family members and friends and looking through his history. that is a factor, certainly, they believe right now in all of this, in this tragic and sad attack. >> so given this latest attack, shimon, is security at the capitol changing again? >> reporter: yeah, so far, fred, we have not seen any significant change. certainly this area where this happened here behind me, i'm going to step out of the camera, because the gate, the steel fences that have been surrounding the capitol, they did put an additional piece of fencing here. this was not here yesterday, which allowed him to drive through here into the barriers there and just really what was a sudden and just very spontaneous attack on the police, really leaving them any ability -- they really had no ability to defe

joining me now is bob behr, a former cia operative. good to see you, bob. so there's some -- iea lot of criticism being hurled now. a senior u.s. official says the plan to withdraw from afghanistan will likely unwind an extensive intelligence and covert network that's been established over two decades. what are the consequences, potentially? >> fred, there are very few. that's a para military force which has been decidedly unsuccessful since we invaded in 2001. it's meant to fight the taliban. it's been losing in the field. a para military forces like that are very bad at collecting intelligence. if they're pulled out of there, we're not losing much. and that is not to mention the taliban is a cult, which is almost impossible to get into. they're going to do what they want to do and we're not going to know it until they do it. unfortunately that's been the truth going back to the '90s. it's not a big loss. >> sounds like you feel mission accomplished, the u.s. set out to afghanistan after 9/11 to seek out osama bin laden, to dismantle or disrupt al qaeda. t

i mean, from the president to the cia to the nsa to the military, everybody had one objective in mind, and that was to bring justice to bin laden. so there was in the meetings i was in, there was no rancor. there were people just trying to do the right thing. and then of course the president gave me the latitude to do the military portion of the mission. i greatly appreciated that. but the one memory that stands out the most, pamela, is when the guys got back across the border after the mission and they were all safe and sound back in afghanistan, because as a commander, you want to make sure you get the mission done, but you want to make sure you get the mission done and bring the boys home safely. >> and you did. and as someone who fought for america's democracy for so many years, what was it like for you to watch the january 6 insurrection? >> well, like a lot of people, i was watching it on tv, and it was incredibly disturbing. it was a sad, sad day for democracy. and it really unfortunately kind of showcased the worst of america. but i would also offer that it showcased the best

also talked about having issues with the fbi, suffering some kind of affliction with the fbi and the cia, and just overall the u.s. government. so this is something the fbi is certainly taking a look at, something they are very concerned about and they're looking, fred, whether or not this was a leading factor in what led up to this attack. >> shimon prokupecz, thank you so much in d.c. appreciate that. >>> so for more on all of this, let's turn to cnn law enforcement analyst and former secret service agent jonathan wackerio. good to see you. it sound like police have social media posts to sift through. how insightful can that be to investigators trying to determine why this happened? >> good afternoon, fred. listen, this is the challenge for law enforcement right now in answering that question why. one, because we don't have a suspect. the suspect is dead. we can't question them. we can't actually observe them and fully understand what those triggers were that led to this violent act. what we do know is right now investigators are saying there's really no nexus to terrorism. but what ot

social media posts mentioned that he believed that he was the victim of mind control from the fbi or the cia. that had been targeting him for years. he also mentioned that he believed people were drugging his food and poisoning his water. you know, really delusional stuff, fredricka, and also one of the more alarming posts just a few hours before the attack that we believe is attributable to the attacker was a message of the nation of islam leader louis farakan, a very hateful message from this person that's well-known for his bigotry and racism and the message said that the u.s. government is the number one enemy of black people in this country. the feds, the authorities, they haven't said that this is why it happened. they're going to continue looking at it. but these are the clues that are being dredged up from the social media accounts for this attacker. fredricka. >> marshall cohen, keep us updated. thank you so much. >>> coming up the minneapolis police chief is expected to take the stand in the derek chauvin trial. how significant will his testimony be and how will the experts influen
