petition the court to remove this conservatorship. after she spoke her peace that the whole world can hear, she believes all the proceedings should be sealed. erin? >> stephanie, thank you very much. incredible story. thanks to all of you for joining us. ac 360 starts now. good evening. we begin tonight with new video. what police saw as the mob harassed and attacked them at the capitol. it shows better than we or anyone could say what some who were there, who were themselves under attack are still closing their eyes to. more than a dozen news outlets have spent months seeking access to video used in court against capitol riot defendants. today the justice department released six more clips showing police as they were being overrun. again, some of the lawmakers whose very lives were being protected by the officers you're about to see would rather make up conspiracy theories about

what happened. instead of face the facts. most, these are republicans we're talking about, are trying to pretend none of this really happened or nothing was as it seemed or these were tourists, antifa, or anyone but supporters of the former president, which is what they were. some, these 21 house republicans, would not even vote to honor the same police officers you're about to see putting their lives on the line to protect them. and on the senate side, every single republican voted to block a bipartisan commission to investigate what was, after all, the worst attack on american democracy by americans since the civil war. we've been reporting on that element of the story for months and we will continue to. we'll continue to show you the raw video whenever we get access to it because in the end nothing speaks to the truth of january 6th better than what police saw and heard on the ground that day. first though we want to -- actually, i should say before we play you an extended sample of the video, want to give the usual warnings about language

and content. >> now. now. >> get out. get out. >> get up. get up. get out. go. go. go. >> now. on the ground.

>> u.s.a. u.s.a. u.s.a. u.s.a. u.s.a. u.s.a. u.s.a. >> you're an american. people die for this. >> i did, buddy. >> video of the attack as it really happened. in a moment we'll talk about it with the mother of the late officer brian sicknick as well

as his life partner. it's a reality that so many lawmakers do not want to confront. today a senior judge called them on it. judge royce lambert is a republican appointee. a former captain of the army's judge advocate's corps. he's a heavy hitter. today sentencing the first rioter to learn their punishment in the insurrection the judge rebuked republican lawmakers. he condemned what he called the utter nonsense, his words, coming from them and other right wing figures whitewashing what happened. quoting the judge, i don't know what planet they were on. this house republican leader kevin mccarthy know what planet his members are on when it comes to their whitewashing and conspiracy theories? he was asked that about house speaker pelosi's choice to name a committee. >> i haven't talked to the members. i have real concern though especially the scope of where

we're going to go. i know just the other day you provided a medal to the officer killed on good friday, killed because of political purposes right outside that capitol, but unfortunately the speaker does not believe that officer's life is as valued as the others. for some reason we could not get to the bottom of why that transpired as well. >> he hasn't talked to members about their lies. that's what he's claiming. now remember when he used to say that about things the former president said. sorry, i can't comment. i haven't heard it. it's not like he himself hasn't drunk some amnesia juice where the insurrection is concerned. he has, now there's more. when asked today why he hasn't met with metropolitan police officer who was hurt, tased multiple times, had a heart attack, congressman mccarthy had this to say. >> as i said before, when he called the office he called over my office across the way.

we gave him the phone number to the scheduler and said we'd love to meet with you. unfortunately he hasn't followed up. >> speaking to cnn, officer fanone denied he was given that phone number. he called what you just heard the congressman say there and we're abbreviating the word, bs, there's a lot of it going around. joining us is gladys sicknick, the mother of brian sicknick and officer sicknick's life partner, sandra garza. appreciate both of you being with us. sandra, initially you couldn't watch videos of january 6th. i know you did decide to. you wanted to see everything you could and understand what happened that day. when you see these new videos, i mean, showing the intimate horror of the insurrection, i'm wondering what goes through your mind? what stands out to you? >> well, it's heart wrenching. it's disturbing and some of the

footage is just downright sadistic. some of those violent protesters were absolutely -- that's just the best word to put it as, is sadistic to the officers. and it's -- like i said, it's heart wrenching. it's brutal for me to watch, especially to know that brian was there that day and, you know, experiencing what the officers were experiencing as well as seeing this and to know his last moments on earth were, you know, experiencing all of this. it's just horrible. it's heart breaking. >> gladys, no one would want their loved one to be on the front line of that facing those people and with what they're saying and what they are doing. gladys, when you continue to see all of these efforts to whitewash, diminish what happened on the 6th, even though the videos show exactly what happened, i'm wondering what you

make of it? >> i just don't understand. i just don't understand how they can just try to whitewash it or sweep it under the rug. it makes no sense to me. they were there. if they thought it was -- if they saw it go sideways, they should have walked away but they didn't and they just -- just kept doing what they were doing and hurting people and -- you know, and then my son passed away because of it, and all the other police officers that were hurt. it's just not right. and i want to know -- i want to know answers. >> you want to know -- you want to know everything about what happened that day, about what led up to it? >> exactly. i mean, you know, i just want everybody who was involved and could have stopped it, i want them to be brought to justice. >> sandra, you wrote a piece for

cnn.com. i just want to read part of it. you wrote, to know that some members of congress along with the former president, donald trump, who brian and i once supported but who can only now be viewed as the mastermind of that horrible attack, are not acknowledging brian's heroism that day is unforgivable and unamerican. what would you want to say to the former president -- >> that's right. >> -- and those members of congress tonight? >> well, i think what they are doing is very damaging. it's sick. you know, it's very upsetting to me and obviously gladys that they are not recognizing and admitting the truth of that day. you know, that brian, regardless of his cause of death, he still is a hero. he fought, defended the capitol that day, members of congress. you know, he defended democracy that day, and the fact that, you know, they're trying to, as you

said earlier, whitewash this and pretend that it was, you know, no big deal isdisspecificible. we and the american people deserve to get answers and stand up and tell the truth, you know, and do the right thing here. you know, to further lie to the american people or the people that support them, you know, especially donald trump, and to now come out and say, oh, well the fbi was involved is absolutely irresponsible, unethical and ludicrous. i mean, it's dangerous as well. you know, the fbi went to extreme lengths to ask the public's help in identifying a lot of the people that were involved in the violence that

day. so, i mean, it's absolutely despicable, it's disgusting and, you know, we already are vulnerable for foreign terrorists and to, you know, create this garbage here in our own country, it's -- it's -- it's unbelievable and like i said, it's irresponsible. >> gladys, you know officer fanone, he was with you when you spoke to senators last month on capitol hill before they voted down the bipartisan bill. the fact that he still can't get a meeting with house republican leader mccarthy, what does that say to you? >> they're hiding. they're hiding things and they don't want us to know. i don't understand. i mean, they're apparently smart people, but they're -- you know, but just -- they're just not doing the right thing. they're afraid of losing their jobs. i don't know what they're afraid of, and i don't understand why

they're afraid of, you know, former -- the former president. for some reason they're afraid of him and they just keep doing what he says that they should do. and officer fanone said something today, i saw him on television, that a lot of these people that are involved in this coverup, they're like -- it's like a cancer and they have to -- and it has to be cut out. >> well, sandra, do you worry that, you know, as time passes what happened on january 6th won't get the attention that it continues to deserve, still won't have the answers because there hasn't been a bipartisan independent investigation and that a lot of the people who did participate, who wanted to participate, who still like the idea of what happened on january 6th, that they're still out there and just waiting for another opportunity? >> yes, i do. that's a very scary and real

thought, you know, and possibility, which is why i've been speaking out as much as i have. i mean, i think a lot of people don't understand, this is not the most comfortable for me, to come out and get in front of the cameras and put myself out there. i'm doing this because this is so important. what happened on january 6th should have never happened and to know that at the time, you know, the president of the united states incited this entire thing because he could not accept that he lost an election, i mean, is just mind blowing. so i think the man is dangerous, and i'm talking about donald trump here, and all of the people on capitol hill that continue to follow him and, you know, have their nose up his butt because i'm going to call it like it is, you know, is really, really sickening, it's

dangerous and, you know, i mean, the man may be wounded, wounded people hurt others and we have got to separate from him and, you know, stop this madness. you know, so i don't want anyone to ever forget about january 6th. i don't want anyone to ever forget the officers and how hard they fought that day, the sacrifices that they made and how they continue to suffer today. and to know that these republicans -- that not all, obviously, but these republicans that are continuing to echo this terrible narrative that oh, it was a tourist day. i didn't feel threatened and all of this garbage. they're leaving a terrible legacy here, you know, and it's got to stop. it's got to stop. and i don't want anyone to forget brian's heroism and the other officers that day either. >> because of brian, all his

fellow officers, they all went home that night -- >> that's right. >> -- to their families and, you know, brian ended up in the hospital with 140 other officers ended up in the hospital, too, with very bad -- you know, they had a lot of bad -- what am i looking for? >> injuries. >> you know, they ended up -- yeah, right, injuries. gladys -- >> so i don't -- i don't understand how they can live with themselves. >> gladys, can you tell us a little bit about your son? people have seen their picture. we're seeing the images on that day. your son is so much more than, you know, an image on a television screen. what was he like? was being a police officer something that he had been interested in for a long time? >> well, when he joined the air national guard, that's when he got involved with wanting to be a police officer. that's what he did in the air national guard. but, yeah, he was just -- he was

as good as he was handsome. he was just a good, good person. if you -- you know, there was nothing -- he -- he -- i think he liked everybody. >> sandra, what do you want people to know about him? >> yeah, he was just a very kind person. and, you know, it hurts me that, you know, that he was a supporter of donald trump. and, you know, for donald trump to completely, you know, spit in his face, that's basically what he's doing, to not even acknowledge, you know, that he died that day, and even after, you know, we went public, that even after that fact he never, you know, tried to contact us to say, wow, you know, i'm so sorry for your loss. your son was a hero. you know, and all of the other

members of congress that he admired, you know, are not stepping up to do the right thing is very sad to me because brian was such a wonderful person and so that just kind of further adds salt into the wound. but, yes, brian was a lovely person. i enjoyed his company. he was a very humble soul and, yeah, there wasn't a person who disliked brian. he was a very kind, loving person. >> you both represent him very well and, gladys sick anything, sandra garza, i appreciate your time tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you can read more of what sandra garza wrote at cnn.com. late word on possible bipartisanship over infrastructure. later we'll talk to a republican and air veteran.

more breaking news tonight. the white house said the president will meet with a bipartisan group of senators racing against a holiday recess deadline to work out a deal on infrastructure. kaitlyn collins joining us from the white house. what have you learned about a possible deal in principle? >> reporter: it's significant they're going to the white house tomorrow alone. this is something the white house said would happen. now jen psaki is confirming they will be meeting with president biden tomorrow. that's this group of bipartisan senators who have been working behind the scenes having several meetings with white house staff trying to come together on an agreement. so it doesn't appear that this is finalized yet.

the staff is still actually writing out the text of this agreement, anderson, but the lawmakers were sounding pretty confident about this. they would not be going to the white house unless they had an agreement. they agree with the top line numbers. the overall spending and the new spending that it would be for infrastructure. they agreed on the biggest sticking point so far, which is how to pay for it. we're still waiting on an explicit white house endorsement. we have not gotten one yet. we are told president biden will be briefed by his team on this tonight. it appears a little bit closer to an agreement, anderson. you're right. the lawmakers are set to go on a two-week recess starting tomorrow night. >> there was a debate of what infrastructure is and what a definition is. do we have a definition of it going big and redefining what infrastructure is? is the white house confident they can get them on board? >> i think in the end they believe maybe they'll pinch

their noyses and vote for it anyway. they didn't want to vote for the moderate package and the white house unless they had a commitment from the moderate democrats people like senator manchin and sinema, that they would vote for a bigger one down the road. even like senator bernie sanders said, we want to make sure we have them on board to pass a package with our issues, climate, things that they were arguing what is infrastructure. that's another thing people will be waiting to see when the meetings happen tomorrow. >> president biden addressed the issue of gun violence. >> how big the recent surge in crime is coming to the white house. they've dedicated an entire

day's events to it. he came out talking about what he's going to do, framing it through the lens of gun violence, tighten gun regulations, give more money to police departments to staff up. this isn't a partisan issue in his view. >> folks, this shouldn't be a red or blue issue. it's an american issue. we're not changing the constitution, we're enforcing it, being reasonable. >> reporter: one thing he did say that was pretty interesting, anderson, there's always an up tick of violence in the summer months. he thinks it's going to be worse this summer because of all of the reopenings due to the pandemic. they're warning this could be an issue to come. they know republicans are going to try to use it against democrats politically speaking. that's why they had president biden try to come out and say, yes, we are on top of this issue and taking steps to address it.

>> thanks. joining us is senator chris murphy from connecticut. what is your reaction to the news of the infrastructure agreement or is this something you'll vote for, and is it? >> my sense is that deal right now has 20 votes, not 60 votes. we're going to have to take a deep dive into the agreement that they've reached and square it with the needs of our voters. i think many of us have had two concerns. one is that some of the numbers in the bill for hard infrastructure just aren't good enough. let me give you an example of the northeast rail corridor. that's vital in my state getting people back and forth from connecticut to new york and boston. the numbers just barely fix the things that are broken on the rail line, never mind actually decrease travel times. second, in my state, if you fix the roads and bridges, that helps people get to work but people can't afford child care.

infrastructure is not just asphalt, it's the assistance that many of my people in my state need to be able to afford. the second package caitlyn referenced, bigger package outside of infrastructure, we need to see a path. >> many democrats have been pressuring president biden to go it alone. if it ends up on his desk, does it prove bipartisanship is still possible in washington or not get ahead of ourselves? >> my constituents don't really care so much about process. i'm going to be honest with you. if you're making their lives easier, if you are allowing them to be able to get back to work, they don't really care whether republicans or democrats or just one party voted for it. what the president's proposing, whether it be in the rescue plan earlier in the year or in the jobs plan, that's all bipartisan in the sense that republicans and democrats out in america support it. my constituents just want us to

get things done. >> as kaitlyn noeted, he talked about the increased violence and killings. he said biden needs to keep rallying his party around the right answer, transforming police and sufficient policing not defunding police because if people feel forced to choose security over democracy, concerns about stealing outside their door over stealing an election, beware. president biden did reiterate he is not in favor of defunding the police and never has been. what do you think of some of your colleagues who do support a defund the police agenda. >> it will be ridiculous to view this in a political prism. what we should be doing is making changes to law enforcement to properly respect civil rights of citizens and actually investing in things that prevent crime.

i think a lot of people who are very frustrated with the way money is spent today is that they see an under investment in things like summer jobs and summer camps and over investment in police. so one of the things i liked about president biden's proposal today is, yes, he's saying we need to spend more money on targeted law enforcement, a different kind of law enforcement. but he also had in that proposal money for summer jobs, money for summer programs to get them off the street and over the course of the summer. when i'm in the north end of hartford or bridgeport, they want people to respect them but they also want some other options for kids right now who don't have a lot of productive avenues during the summer. >> why do you think it is though that we are seeing this uptick? it's always hard -- just as it's hard to explain why crime goes down in cycles across the country, at the same time it's hard to explain sometimes why it goes up. it's probably a multi-tiered issue. do you have any sense?

>> well, i do. i mean, i think if you look at the sort of scope of american history, violence tends to increase when there's economic desperation. there's been a lot over the last year and a half. now it's starting to get better but violence is a lagging indicator. also, there's a lot more guns out there. we saw record gun sales last year. many were sold to criminals, many were sold to traffickers because we don't have universal background checks. unless we pass universal background checks, you're going to continue to see this record level of gun sales lead to record levels of crime. >> the nation's top general told embattled congressman in the fallout after it was over. that's coming up when we come back. get 1.9% apr financing

the defense secretary lloyd austin and the nation's top general mark millicame under attack today from republicans including embattled florida congressman matt gaetz and they talked about critical race theory. here's the key portion of the back and forth. >> how should the department of defense think about critical

race theory? >> can i make a comment, secretary? i'm sorry. >> i'm very limited on my time. >> i want to make a comment. >> i know, but i -- i've asked a question, secretary austin. >> i do think it's important, actually, for those of us who are widely read. the united states military academy is a university. it's important we train. i want to understand white rage and i'm white. i want to understand it. so this building and try to overturn the constitution of the united states, it's a miracle. i to want to analyze it. it's important we understand that. our soldiers, sailors, marines, guardians come from the american people so it is important that the leaders now and in the future do understand it. i've read karl marx, i've read

lenin. that doesn't make me a communist. what is wrong with having an understanding and some understanding about the country for which we are here to defend. i personally find it offensive that we are accusing the united states military, general officers, commissioned, noncommissioned officers of being, quote - - woke. a proclamation to change it. rebrought up the civil rights act to change that. so, look it, i do want to know. >> republican representative adam kin singer serves with the national guard. thank you for being here. i wonder what you made of that discussion. kind of fascinating to hear general milli talk about it.

clearly he's a student of history. what do you make of it? >> yeah, i thought it was fascinating, actually. this was the first time i got the top lines of what was said. what i heard is a couple of things. they want military officers to be studied up on all of these issues. we need to understand that. when i heard that, i don't think he was saying we need to adopt critical race theory, i think he's saying we need to understand what it's about. but i think there is a value in understanding different the bottom line is everything that got to that, it's trying to stoke outrage and division. i think you saw that with the questions that were intended to stoke outrage and division. i wish people would depot lit

size the military. its job is to defeat our enemies or be willing to do that. that's the job of the military. if we want to debate all of these other issues, we can debate them. i think the military needs to go out and do what it does. you have so many on -- i guess on both sides but i can be particularly critical of my side as a republican that are just out trying to stoke darkness, fear, division over and over because it gets the retweets, gets you likes. you might be able to raise some money. it's really destructive to hear. >> it's interesting. i grew up in the age of ronald regan when i was a kid and in college, to hear republicans suddenly going after the military from -- in a way that you would expect in the past it was, you know, very far left or progressives going after the military on subjects. it's kind of just an interesting juxtaposition, particularly from someone like matt gaetz who doesn't have a record of

distinguished service in any armed forces or particularly in the halls of congress. >> you're right. it's exactly what people on my side used to be critical of the democrats doing, but it's just now by a different name. they just picked a different issue. again, you know, whether it's january 6th, you know, that was a quick opportunity to politicize the military. but the reality is the military needs to be left out. it is the last institution in washington, d.c., anderson -- i guess in the whole country, really, when you're talking about the government, that has the faith of both parties. even the fbi is political now in people's minds. even the cia is political in people's minds. obviously congress is and every institution. the military is the one we need not to be. when we continually try to stoke anger in these questions or statements, it's not beneficial to the defense of this country or those who have signed the dotted line to serve and

protect. >> you've been working on something pushing very hard for it in congress, which i think is a really important thing, especially u.s. immigrant visas for afghan interpreters who helped the mission there. it has bipartisan support. why is this so important and the likelihood you can get it passed into law. it's not the greatest history that we as a country have of remembering those who have helped us in past wars. you know, when we left vietnam in the way that the u.s. left and with the quickness that it left, there were a lot of people who had worked for the u.s. government in difficult situations who were left behind in iraq even though promises were made getting, you know, visas for people who had been interpreters was something that was drawn out for many. >> yeah. so that's what the situation is in afghanistan. i disagree with the president's decision to leave, but it's made. and so we now look there is 18,000 people in afghanistan

that worked with u.s. forces to work as translators and other things that in many cases died, but those that are still alive waiting these visas. they were done so with a promise that we will bring you to the united states of america, and what's happened over the last number of years is bureaucratic slowdown. there are 16,000 visas that were approved that haven't been fulfilled. now we're going to be out of afghanistan, what, in a month or two? and there's 18,000 people. look, we know what's going to happen because we've seen it happen to a number of them already. they're going to be killed. their families are going to be killed. it's not just the humanitarian part that is tragic and important, when you look at the u.s.'s next conflict, we'll be in a war and how do you make a promise that you'll follow through. >> congressman, i really appreciate your time. thank you. >> any time. just ahead, new details on

it's certainly no secret that the former president is still insisting the 2020 election was stolen from him despite all of the available evidence to the contrary. it's no secret he's complaining constantly and yearns to be back front and center instead of stewing at mar-a-lago.

what's not known is the former president and his troubles with ivanka and jared kushner. kate bennett. kate, do you get the sevens from your reporting that this is even partly mutual, that kushner and ivanka trump wanted to distance themselves from the former president's behavior or just that he's such a bore now going on and on about the past that they don't want to be around him? what's going on? >> i think it's a little bit of both of those things. for sure the inability to move on has affected how jared and ivanka see their roles. i mean, this is not something that they can get into or want to be a part of. so certainly in the cast of characters around the former president has grown to include, you know, some people with some very farfetched theories. again, this is the distance that jared and ivanka are putting themselves away from, their father and father-in-law, the

man's been four plus years with. on the other side, from trump's side, there's certainly maybe some -- we were hearing jealousy involved. a book deal, seven-figure deal. nothing more than the former president hates more is profiting off of something he feels he facilitated. that's the behind the scenes whispers. whatever it is, there are a lot of factors going on here. the bottom line is jared and ivanka have really separated themselves. even though they both live now in south florida, the south florida area, they've separated themselves from donald trump and that's a very significant change in the dynamic and the relationship. >> so do they have much input or involvement with the trump political orbit now? >> reporter: none. absolutely none. my colleague and i, our reporting shows there's nothing to do with ivanka and jared and the planning of these rallies or

the political endorsements that trump is making or the super pac. nothing whatsoever to do with any sort of pending run up to the mid terms or 2024. they are completely removed. jared will occasionally call and check in and one person described it as dropping your child off at day care. you know, the parent sort of slowly gets to stay a little bit less and less each day, jared being the parent, trump being the toddler. you know, if something does ramp up, perhaps he'll step back in. clearly now there's nothing going on between the two sides. >> kate, i want to bring in cnn's jim acosta. you obviously had a front row seat to this for years. i guess the former president was very close to his daughter and son-in-law at one point, at least publicly that's what it seemed to be. we also know he has a tendency to sour on those who aren't delivering on his commands and gets better book deal than he does or have lives that he

doesn't have. how do you see this playing out? >> it sounds like jared and ivanka are trying to treat trump as the coffee boy. i never thought i would see that day. i did talk to a long-time trump adviser today who said, you know what, trump feels used by jared kushner. there's a twist, anderson, that i don't know if we would ever see. trump feeling used in all of this. listen, as for jared and ivanka trying to distance themselves, keep in mind, i don't want to go over all of the history in the last four years, but jared was in charge of middle east peace in the trump administration. he had a heavy hand in the covid response. he was working on, you know, the border wall. he was a campaign adviser and so on. there's no rehab tour. there's no pr spinning. there's no separation that can be put in place between trump and jared and ivanka that is going to wash the blood of january 6th off of their designer suits. it's just not going to happen.

and i think jared and ivanka can try this, but i don't think they're fooling anybody. i think a lot of people out there see their failures tied very tightly to the failures of former president donald trump. the other thing i will say, and anderson, you know, in all of this, jared and ivanka they know what took place on january 6th. they could tell all. they could tell the public how sorry they are about january 6th and what happened to this country. until they do that, should anybody really take them seriously? i think not. >> and also, is it possible this is just part of a rehabilitation campaign for ivanka and jared? it seems like every time there was something -- something would leak, well, ivanka had a really big hand in this, or she tried to stop the president but he ignored her.

>> sure. >> which seemed to clearly come from them. i haven't talked to them. but it certainly seemed coincidental that this would filter out, we would hear what jared and ivanka were thinking behind the scenes. >> sure, they were masters of doing that. i think it became a pretty reliable sketch that the press would get used to, this pattern would occur. certainly they've taken this road trip from florida, the family, the kushners, up from florida on their way to new jersey, and they stopped off with nikki haley, and it's interesting that they're touring along, their next stop was morgan ortegas, a tour up the east coast of greatest hits of the trump administration. it's to be determined what will

happen, they're in bedminster where the former president and they have a cottage. but, they're masters of their own futures and they try to put out a certain degree of messaging, for sure. >> thank you to you both. >>. coming up, how violent crime is affecting one of the most iconic cities in america. yep... everything hurts. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
