but some people in right-wing media have pushed the dangerous idea that it was all an fbi plot. >> fbi operatives were org organizing the attack on the capitol. >> reporter: there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that this was some kind of false flag event staged by the democrats or the fbi. what would you say to people who say january 6th was the biggest attack on american democracy since the civil war? >> absolute rubbish. >> reporter: amid all the denial and deflection, i met one trump supporter who said it was important to be real about what happened on that day. what do you think of the trump supporters that stormed the capitol? >> you talk about mis-found feelings. seeing the folks from my side of the state that were there, and they're not the part of the campaign that we would like to have. >> reporter: do you think some trump supporters that say it's antifa, it's black lives matter, that they know that that's bull shit but they just don't want to admit it? it's easier to blame someone else? >> everyone is afraid to, you know, take the blame. it's that simple. >> reporter: y

he believes his father brought him up to do what he did, call the fbi on the father. that's tough to read. >> yeah. that's exactly right. and it's really painful for jackson. and this is something that helena also said, they love their parents. helena also said she idolized her mother. she was always the fun mother. and jackson said my dad was this great dad who taught me all these great things, taught me to do the right thing. all of a sudden jackson has to use that knowledge that his dad gave him on doing the right thing and use it to turn his dad into the fbi. at only 18 years old, that's a huge decision to me. . >> and you dive into the psychological impact and how it has flipped the script. generally speaking, it's parents who worry about their wayward children. but because of the insurrection it's children worried about their wayward parents. that's psychologically traumatic. >> the power balance between parents and children because of that innate power imbalance that children have with their parents. they can't tell their parents the same thing that parents can

the fbi searching the home of a democratic congressman, henry cuellar. let's bring in cnn's evan perez. what's happening here? >> reporter: well, kasie, the fbi acknowledged they were doing a search of what we know now is the home of representative henry cuellar. the reporters down in the rio grand valley down in texas saw fbi agents searching a building that houses the campaign office of the representatives. the fbi acknowledged they were doing court-authorized searches at that location. that's what the fbi uses to say essentially it was a search warrant that was being done there. we don't know the details of this investigation. we do know that prosecutors with the public integrity section of the justice department are involved in this investigation. at this point, cuellar is not saying much. he said he is fully cooperating with this investigation. i'll tell you, the agents were seen there at his homecoming out with bags and bins of what appears to be evidence, including a computer. again, we don't know exactly what the details of this investigation are

the big question is what does the fbi do with this letter? if it was just some troll in their basement, you can expect a knock on the fbi pretty soon i would expect. do they sit down with the president of the united states and interrogate him? >> we will talk more about this overnight. other news i want your take on, laura, two of the men convicted of killing ahmaud arbery reached a plea deal in the federal hate crimes charges against them. . >> this is an important development and would close the chapter on the federal piece of this case. as you mentioned, this father/son duo, gregory and trafps mcmichael were convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the state case there in georgia for their role in the killing of 25-year-old jogger ahmaud arbery. we now know, according to court filings, it is likely they have pled guilty and reached agreements in the federal hate crimes case this does not include the third person, the person who filmed the killing. he is not included in the court filings. interestingly

park police, as well as fbi agents are headed to the ca capitol. all 1,100 members of the national guard have been activated. >> the situation we are seeing right here might be best described as a standoff. there is no inclination they are going away or that they heard the message from the president to go home. >> we were actually trapped in the house chamber at that time. the mob had descended and broke through the capitol. they had evacuated the leadership and the members who were on the floor. those of us up in the gallery watching the debate have been trapped. >> as we reconvene, the world will witness the resilience and strength of our democracy. for even in the wake of unprecedented violence and vandalism at this capitol. >> we have never seen a day like today. but america is still standing. the capitol is still standing and the congress is back to business. >> i'm heartbroken. i'm disgusted. and i'm angry. enough is enough. this needs to stop. it needs to stop right now tonight. we need to end it. >> wow. >> it's really something to see it a

the fbi is working with uk and israeli authorities on this case. act rim's family say they do not condone any of these activities. they mentioned he has mental health issues, but did not elaborate on that, john. >> my heart goes out to all the people affected. we'll have much more on this ahead. >> reporter: thanks. >>> and of course so much jewish synagogues have to plan for these kinds of things. that says a lot about where we are as a country. >>> let's turn now to something lighter than that. berman's eagles, my patriots both out. . >> it was not even close. it took some of the sting out of it knowing at least the patriots never had a chance. >> yeah. look, as an eagles fan we were all happy just to be there. i don't think at the beginning of the season any of us thought we would make it. hey, i will take this. no one is more heartbroken this morning than dallas cowboys fans after their chaotic final few seconds. >> andy scholes here with the "bleacher report". hey, andy. >> reporter: yeah, guys. if you have a cowboys fan in your life, i would

two arrests made in connection to the incident and the the fbi identified a british national as the man who held four people hostage before a rescue team entered the building and he was killed. a live stream of the service reveals how terrifying the situation was. the suspect arrived on u.s. soil in december with no prior record. he was not on any government watch lists in the u.s. or the uk, and miraculously, all four people escaped unharmed. joining me now the director of the american jewish committee of dallas, joel schweitzer. joel, thank you so much for being here with us this morning, although i wish honestly there wasn't a reason for to us need to have this conversation. i want to start just by asking how is your community doing and feeling in the wake of this? >> kasie, thank you so much for having me and first and foremost, i want to express how grateful we are that rabbi cytron-walker and the three congregants were safely reunited with their families with the impeccable work of local, state and federal law enforcement officials and it was heartening throughout the 11 or 12 hou

and analyst and former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. i want to start with you with these texts from sean hannity about what they mean for the investigation. because to me they are revelatory. he said i'm very worried about the next 48 hours, on january 5th. i'm very worried about the next 48 hours, which begs the question, al, why? why would you be worried? so, what does this tell you about the discussions that were taking place and what was going on? >> well, perhaps they're worried because they were participants in all of this leading up to it. on the one hand, they have their foot on the gas pushing lies about the 2020 general election and then as we're finding out now, on the other hand, they are trying to pump the brakes, i guess, to keep things perhaps from going too far. and that going too far is the physical manifestation of all those lies and acts of violence on capitol hill. >> andrew, what do you think? >> i think that's exactly right. the committee's letter lays it out in the first paragraph. it is clear from the text that h

. >> joining us now is former fbi director peter strzok. his book is now out in paperback. the deputy director, lisa m monaco, carefully chosen words. how do you read it? >> well, absolutely. you know, in my experience, any time the department of justice or fbi makes a comment on an ongoing investigation, particularly at a high level, the words have very carefully chosen and scrutinized. certainly when you hear them coming from the deputy attorney general herself, i have no doubt that the intention and the plan to do than was probably went up to the attorney general and certainly the office of the attorney general. and it's careful -- it's very carefully. there are two things i see in there. one, prosecutors are looking at it. s to me is they are examining the allegations, looking at federal law, seeing where the evidence falls and doesn't fall. and the second thing, the last point is she says she can't comment anymore on ongoing investigations. that means exactly what it says. that means right now there are investigations, plural, that are open and ongoing within the depar

that, the fbi says was viable and included explosive powder, but it raises troubling questions about security lapses here. i just spoke to one law enforcement source who said, look, the fact that the bomb was placed here in the first place is a security lapse, the fact it was placed in this highly secured, highly surveilled area is a security lapse, and now we're finding out that the vice president-elect was inside the building. she came there the next day, was able to get into the building, while this pipe bomb was outside, and she was evacuated minutes after the pipe bomb was discovered. it is really troubling. >> what about, pamela, the overall timing of when the bombs were planted and also just where are we in this investigation a year later? >> yeah, so the overall timing has certainly raised questions among law enforcement officials because, of course, it was the night before january 6th and the riot there at the capitol. so law enforcement officials have certainly wondered whether this was a strategy to perhaps distract and create chaos and divert resources from the capitol ri

what is the evidence that you think the fbi looked at and said, aha, this is something? >> the time involved in preparations for this, the fact that the amount of weapons acquired in advance, the fact that people are using specific language that indicates this they were coordinating. they're not just talking about breaking a window in the capitol. they're talking about civil war in america. it's hard to look at that and say, hey, it was accidental they went to the capitol and happened to breach the perimeter. i'm not surprised it took them so long to get to this case. but when you look at the evidence, it's hard to step back and say, yeah, there was no planning here. the weapons, the time, the language. incredible. . >> also, guys, you have to think what is the defense going to be? i know you will talk to the lawyers soon. rhodes has given media interviews in which he said, look, folks went off mission. they went rogue. ticked off patriots, you ain't seen nothing yet. if they went off mission, why are they spending money on guns and ammunition after january 6th? . >> it

who referred to trump investigating his efforts to overturn the election results in florida asked the fbi to provide security for buildings and staff. now, trump also put out a statement that more or less admitted that he did want pence to overturn the election. joining us now cnn political commentator s.e. cupp and jeffrey toobin. trump did three things over the weekend. i want to discuss each one if we can. number one, the call to arms, the biggest protest he has ever seen. number two, dangled pardons. and number three, the statement where he basically said, yes, i wanted pence to overturn the election results, not that there was any doubt. i want to start with the call for the biggest protest ever which many say, hey, he is inciting violence in broad daylight >> reporter: it's not necessarily news that donald trump doesn't change, but donald trump doesn't change. the statement is almost identical to what he said right before the riot at the capitol. that, you know, it walks up to the line of calling for violence. the implication is to call for violence. but he doesn't exactly say he's

by trump who is investigating his efforts to overturn the election results in georgia, she asked the fbi to provide security for buildings and staff there. we should also note trump put out a statement overnight that more or less admitted he did want pence to just overturn the election. joining us now, attorney and "washington post" contributing columnist george conway. george, thanks so much for being with us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to start with this pardon dangle. the former president didn't just call for people to take to the streets if these court cases go against him, but he also seemed to suggest he would, if elected, pardon the people behind the insurrection. listen. >> if i run and if i win, we will treat those people from january 6th fairly. we will treat them fairly. and if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly. >> the legal implications of that, george. >> if it were possible for someone to have violated their oath of office before even taking it, he just did that right there. as far as the practical

former people who have been part of the intelligence apparatus in the united states, whether it be the fbi, cia, and anybody that they can get and bring into the organization, and when you think about that, it means that they have training tactical training to do something like this and to plan something like this. the question is will stewart rhodes be ensnared in that, he has been, a grand jury says that he was involved in this seditious activity, but, you know, he was very clear, 24 days after the breach of the capitol on january 6th, he went on to the right wing conspiracy spewing online apparatus and he talked about what he thought about this administration. he goes after the biden administration and appears to make some threats and he's still doing this, mind you, after we have all seen the attack on the capitol. here's what he had to say. >> you got to declare this regime to be illegitimate, you got to declare everything that comes out of king biden's mouth as illegitimate and null and void from inception because he's not a legitimate president. they have plans for us that they know

but i would be concerned with the fbi found some new revelation that shows they will go after very seriously. it's about 18 individual oath keepers now -- 20, i guess, that are in the usa caldwell group that will have serious work to go after that. oath keepers feel like their videos in the smartphone video camera revolution, the whole new world we have now with all this new video, show people did do what the government alleges, but it wasn't them. they had very tough talk among themselves, that's true. as you say, they are going after leaders in this sense, what they perceive to be leaders. the government admits these oath keepers did not do any violence, did not attack police officers. >> no, they don't -- jon, that's actually incorrect according to this indictment. it talks about them forcibly pushing into the capitol and past law enforcement. so that's just a misrepresentation of what's going on. you're talking about tough talk here. there's more than tough talk. there's talk about essentially overthrowing a government. and there are new things here. there are a lot of signal communicati

want to make this guy's life more difficult than it even is, who republicans are saying, he was an fbi informant or agent and he fomented the entire insurrection and they said, no, we talked to the guy and he's not. what is that story there and why is it important to address these cons conspiracies. >> you have to address that to senator cruz and an entire network who continues to give oxygen to these dangerous conspiracy theories. senator cruz knows that this is not true. but he is aided by tucker carlson and other folks who continue to fan this flame. it is dangerous, dangerous rhetoric. and it is unfortunate that they continue to fan those flames and support those conspiracy theorys that we debunked. >> i know it is a big few weeks with the committee. we look forward to speaking with you again when there are some new developments. appreciate it. >> thanks, john. >>> all right, breaking moments ago, british prime minister boris johnson apologizing for partying at ten downing street when the country was on lockdown. one british leader calls him a pathetic spectacle of a man. they got

in the days following the insurrection, the fbi would launch what would become the largest investigation in the bureau's history. to date, according to the attorney general, more than 725 people have been arrested and charged for the insurrection. one man has been given a sentence of five years, more than five years, for throwing a fire ex extinguisher at the police, the longest so far. the department of justice is not done yet. they believe there are hundreds more people out there who need to be found, need to be charged and brought to justice. john. >> alex marquardt, thank you for telling the story this morning. and thank you for being there one year ago, living through all of that, witnessing history under extraordinary circumstances. so thank you to you and your team. >> reporter: thanks, john. >> there joining us, two people inside the capitol during the insurrection one year ago today. annie custer of new hampshire and dan kildee of michigan. it was interesting to watch that police from alex with you here. the whole time that was airing you were saying, oh, god, oh, god. >> i have

the fbi identified a british citizen as the man who held four people hostage before a rescue people entered the building and he was killed. the suspect arrived legally in the u.s. five weeks ago. he wasn't on a u.s. government watch list. during the standoff, he told hostage negotiators he was not going to leave the synagogue alive, according to a source. he can be heard speaking from facebook live stream from saturday morning service. >> joining me now is rabbi jeffrey myers. rabbi, i have called you america's rabbi before. it's always a pleasure to speak with you. i always regret so often it has to be in situations like this. so your reaction this morning? >> well, i could say that at least today i'm doing better. but this has certainly shaken not just me and my community, but jews throughout the united states to the core. how do we say, oh, no, not again. not another. >> and to hear from the rabbi walker, without the instruction, we would not have been able to act and flee when the situation presented itself. i encourage all jewish congregations, religious groups, schools and others to p
