phone. why she confronted him in the hotel lobby and why she's now apologizing. first, here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds. >> they weren't protesters. don't dare call them protesters. they were a riotous mob. insurrectionists. >> the fallout continues in washington after a violent mob stormed the u.s. capitol. >> the capitol police officer has died as a result of his injuries. >> the president needs to understand that his actions were the problem. >> the growing list of lawmakers are calling for president trump to be removed from office. >> i believe the president is dangerous and should not hold office one day longer. >> president trump now acknowledging a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th. >> my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth orderly and seamless transition. >> the united states seeing his deadliest day yet breaking 4,000

deaths from covid-19 for the first time in this pandemic. >> we are in the fight of our lives. >> $2.5 billion to settle charges that it defrauded regulators about the 737 max. >> all that -- >> spacexx is celebrating its first launch of 2021. >> and all that matters. >> president trump released a statement saying that there would be an orderly transition of power. trump also used the satatement o mention that he disagreed with the outcome of the election. well, thank god he said that. otherwise there would have been no way to know. >> on "cbs this morning." >> we were going to spend most of last night talking about the fact that raphael warnock is the first african-american to represent georgia ever in the senate. >> yes. >> any music for the moment? >> well, you know, georgia was swinging. it don't mean a thing. if it ain't got that swing.

that's what my mind is at. ♪ >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive. making it easy to bundle insurance. >> thank you for that, john batiste. i wish my mind was still there. i spent all day again looking at the video. the more video you see of what happened at the washington capitol, it takes your breath away. i go from sadness to great anger. the way those officers were trashed and to hear the stories of representatives cowering and afraid under their desk and in the bathroom and closets. >> we've now lost a capitol police officer. >> that's one of the saddest of all. welcome to cbs this morning. that's where we begin. new developments overnight in the aftermath of the violent assault on capitol hill, including the death of a police officer who responded to the riot. he was allegedly hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. think about that for just a second. five people are now dead after a pro-trump mob stormed the building following a speech by

the president terrorizing those inside. in most cases, walking out without being arrested. >> law enforcement are looking for dozens of people who were involved as part of an investigation that could now include homicide charges. jeff pegues is on capitol hill. he was also there for the riot. jeff, what do we know? >> good morning. a lot of the focus is on the fallen officer who died from injuries sustained during that violence, that riot at the capitol. i want you to take a look at this stirring image of fellow police officers gathered here at the capitol last night flashing their lights in unison as a show of respect. capitol police says it expresses its deepest sympathies to officer brian sicknick's family and friends on their loss. and mourns the loss of a friend and a colleague. >> the violent domestic terrorism seen on capitol hill on wednesday killed capitol police officer brian sicknick. a 12-year veteran who most

recently served in the department's first responder unit. in a statement, capitol police said officer sicknick collapsed after a confrontation with violent rioters and his death is being investigated as a possible homicide. sicknick's death comes hours after the u.s. capitol police chief and house and senate sergeants at arms stepped down after outrage from the police union and both sides of the aisle on wednesday's security failures. >> they could have killed us all. they could have destroyed the government. >> the justice department is investigating stolen electronic items and documents possibly containing sensitive national security information. thousands of national guard troops deployed into washington overnight to help secure the city. cbs news has learned that some of the rioters involved in wednesday's attack have remained in the area and new intelligence shows that they may be planning more attacks in the city and on federal buildings.

a full manhunt is on as the fbi and d.c. police search airports and hotels for rioters who ransacked the capitol. the fbi released this photo of a person believed to be responsible for the pipe bombs found in d.c. on wednesday. offering a $50,000 reward for any information. more than 50 people have already been charged with crimes related to the violence. including those with a semiautomatic weapon and 11 molotov cocktails. there are also warning signs on social media that inauguration day may be their next target. a post on a white supremacist telegram channel says it is the next date on the calendar that the pro-trump and other nationalist crowds will potentially converge on the capitol again. >> this is kind of broken the veil of protection here at the capitol. >> reporter: despite the threats hovering over washington, d.c., the inauguration committee is moving ahead with its planning. the secret service tells us that

it is moving ahead with this security procedures, at this point looking ahead to the inauguration which is just 12 days away. as far as the investigation into what happened here at the capitol on wednesday, the fbi says that so far it's gotten about 4,000 tips. >> planning and preparation always helps. that's why we would have liked to have seen it on january 6th. a new video message, president trump is finally condemning the violence at the u.s. capitol and admitting he is leaving office, but it must be said that that is only after months and even years of stoking the anger that exploded in this week's attack. ben tracy is at the white house for us this morning. ben, good morning to you. >> good morning. the president is attempting a complete 180 here. on wednesday, he called members of the violent mob attacking the kopts special. now faced with resignations from top administration officials and the threat of being impeached again, the president claims he's outraged by the violence.

>> the demonstrators who infiltserainfilt infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of american democracy. >> reporter: president trump last night finally condemned the violence carried out in his name. >> you do not represent our country. >> reporter: but this is what the president said the day before. >> we love you. you're very special. >> reporter: and what he said at his rally before the assault on the capitol -- may be investigated by u.s. attorneys for leading to the violence. >> we're going to walk down to the capitol. and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them. >> reporter: the president is also now falsely claiming he immediately deployed the national guard to stop the attack on the capitol. he did not. the violence went on for hours and the guard only arrived after vice president mike pence got

involved. mr. pence, who the president is attacking for not trying to change the election result, did not come to the white house thursday. cbs news has learned the two men are barely speaking to each other. at least seven white house officials have now resigned in protest. plus two members of the cabinet. education secretary betsy devos and secretary of transportation elaine chao. she is married to mitch mcconnell and former attorney general bill barr who left the administration just last month delivered a blistering rebuke saying in a statement that orchestrating a mob to pressure congress is inexcusable. and calling the president's conduct a betrayal of his office . >> a new administration will be inaugurated on january 20th. >> president trump seems to be resigned to the fact after two months that president-elect biden will be sworn in after misleading his supporters about false allegations that the election was stolen. >> my focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power.

>> some of the president's usual allies want him to resign before inauguration day. the conservative editorial board of "the wall street journal," which is owned by rupeert murdoch, says his best path would to be take personal responsibility and resign, adding it is the best for everyone, himself included, if he goes away quietly. the president has given no indication he intends to resign or go away quietly. >> and he still has not conceded that he lost, ben. thank you very much. house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck shumer are calling for president trump to be removed from office. they want vice president pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. what's the latest on that? >> anthony, democrats are pushing the president's now dwindling cabinet to swiftly invoke the 25th amendment, declaring him unfit for office, replacing him with vice president mike pence for the final 12 days of his term.

but so far, they've gotten no formal response from the cabinet. the vp won't take their calls and so now they are working on a plan b. >> this is urgent. this is emergency of the highest magnitude. >> calling president trump dangerous, house speaker nancy pelosi declared he should be removed following this week's insurrection at the capitol. democrats plan to talk today about a backup plan. >> if the 25th amendment isn't invoked, the next best thing is impeachment asap. >> reporter: and it wasn't just democrats. illinois republican adam kinzinger. >> it's time to invoke the 25th moment and to end this nightmare. all indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty, or even his oath but from reality itself. >> reporter: other republicans like senator marco rubio call out their own gop colleagues saying they misled supporters by suggesting that the election results could be overturned. >> criminals are responsible for

their own conduct. >> reporter: senator ted cruz rejected that accusation, though he did find fault with the president. >> i think his angry rhetoric was reckless and harmful. >> reporter: but not harmful enough, allies say, to warrant removal. >> i don't support an effort to invoke the 25th amendment now. >> reporter: south carolina's lindsey graham has spent more time with mr. trump than nearly any other lawmaker. >> do you believe after spending so much time with him that he is mentally unwell as some of his aides have said? >> i think he's very frustrated. he thinks the election was stolen. i think he's got some very bad advisers. >> reporter: in wilmington, delaware, president-elect joe biden argued the advisers are not the main problem. >> unleashed an all-out assault on an institutions of our democracy from the outset. and yesterday was but the culmination of that unrelenting attack. >> reporter: speaker pelosi is holding a conference call with house democrats at noon to gauge

their interest in impeachment. they could skip the committee process go straight to a vote on the house floor, but then the senate would have to hold a trial. and congress is out right now. not expected to return, gayle, until january 20th, inauguration day. >> that really cuts into the timeline. thank you, nancy. republican senator ben sasse of nebraska has blamed president trump for the violent assault on the capitol, calling it an inevitable and ugly outcome. he joins us now to discuss. good morning to you, senator sasse. let's get right to the question that everybody is thinking and talking about. should president trump be impeached or should the 25th amendment be invoked at this point? >> thanks for having me on. and my wife and kids and our prayers go out to the family of officer sicknick and the families of the other four who died as well. and we've obviously still got some other folks in kricritical condition. let's recognize this as a day of mourning. here's what happened on

wednesday. an insurrectionist mob trid to disrupt the people's house. the dome of the united states capitol is the most powerful symbol of freedom anywhere in the world. all over the world, there's polling that shows when you hear freedom or liberty, the most common image, anywhere in the world, is the dome of the united states capitol. and insurrectionist mob came and marched on that capitol after a rally with the president of the united states where he told them to come to the capitol and to go wild. >> we all know that. that leads to the question. should the president of the united states be impeached or the 25th amendment invoked? >> i think we need to draw a distinction between two important things. one is the objective fact about whether or not the president was involved in inciting this and whether or not the president of the united states by his constant addiction to stoking division was playing it rant in his duties to his oath. that's unquestionable. he was flagrantly disregarding his oath of office.

that's not in debate. the question is more of a prudential question. what is the best thing for america in 2022 or 2032? the question isn't what's best for donald trump. at a human level, lots of us should have pity for the man but at the level of the office, i don't really care what happens to donald trump the man in 2023. what i care about is what happens to the american people in 2023. what brings 85 and 90 and 95% of our people together? the one thing that we know is the american people rendered a judgment on donald trump's presidency, and they said go now. they want him gone. and in 12 days, whatever the right math is, joe biden is going to be the president. >> senator sasse, excuse me, but i'm really worried about time because i understand everything you're saying, but here we are. we sit here today. there are actually people in that crowd that think president trump was leading them to the capitol. i saw interviews with people saying we're following the president. the question on the table right now is what do you think should happen to president trump?

should there be consequences since everybody agrees, even his closest allies agree that he has incited this. what should happen to him now? i see you dancing all around it saying -- >> i'm not dancing. i'm just -- >> okay. i don't mean to be disrespectful. >> you know i'm a fan of you and your work. i don't hear you being disrespectful, but i disagree with you. you said the most important question right now is what happens to donald trump. that's not right. the most important question is what happens to the united states people and this union. 12 days and beyond. donald trump has acted shamefully. he has been in flagrant dereliction of his duty, and he will be remembered for having incited this and for having drawn more division into an already divided people. that is who donald trump is. that is what his legacy is going to be. but i disagree with you that the most important question is inside the next 12 days. the most important question is what happens to america after te next 12 days. and not just 12 weeks and 12 months from now but 12 years

from now. the house, if they come together and have a process, i will definitely consider whatever articles they might move because, as i've told you, i believe the president has disregarded his oath of office. he swore an oath to the american people to preserve, protect and defend the constitution. he acted against that. what he did was wicked. that said, the question of what the house does now and how the senate responds to it over the next 12 days is a critically important question. but the most important question is the pru dential one of how we bring the country back together five and 10 and 15 years in the future. and there's a lot to be hashed out. one thing particularly about what the house might move the articles on, though. i have been involved in an investigation that started last night trying to understand why the national guard was not deployed. >> very good question. >> the people's house was under assault. i want to understand what was happening when the mayor of d.c. and ultimately, your previous story mentioned the failures of

the capitol police and that's obviously true and an investigation has been launched there, but when the mayor and chief of police were calling on the pentagon to make sure that they were getting the backup they needed from the national guard, the national guard wasn't deployed for hours as the house was being taken over, the capitol, the house and the senate, were being taken over by these violent thugs. the national guard wasn't being deployed. we need to know why that happened. they were ultimately deployed, but where was the president in that process because one of the things we know is when we were in the senate chamber trying to certify joe biden's rightful election, we saw the vice president of the united states whisked out of our room by the secret service. this is kind of third world -- >> senator sasse, then you think about it, you could have all been killed that day. it's very chilling and very shocking when my brain goes there. i'm just relieved everyone is safe outside of the five people that were killed very tragically. now president trump is

condemning them. so, really, there's more to the story as you know. >> it will continue. >> we thank you for your time this

the woman caught on camera physically attacking a black teenager and falsely accusing him of stealing her cell phone has been arrested in california. it happened last night. you might remember this video. miya ponsetto accused keyon harrold of accusing her phone and then he accused her of racial profiling.

>> you see two black people. >> i'm not letting him walk away with my phone. >> reporter: the video shows her rushing toward them, hotel surveillance showed the woman tackling keyon. new york city detectives went to california to coordinate her arrest. she was contacted at a traffic stop in ventura county, near los angeles. police had to pull her out of the car when she refused to get out. and now in an exclusive interview, we had just done that interview yesterday and her lawyer spoke with us before she was arrested. they told us that nypd had not yet contacted them. >> help me understand, what made you think that keyon had your phone. that is why i'm confused. why do you think he had it. >> i was aapproaching the people exiting the hotel because in my mind anybody that is exiting might be the one that is trying

to steal my phone. i admit, yes, i could have approached the situation differently and not yelled at him and made him feel inferior way, that is not my intention. i consider myself to be super suite. >> never meant to hurt him or his father either. >> are you saying you were stopping everybody in the lobby asking them about your phone, is that what you're saying? >> not everyone. just the people that in the meantime while the hotel manager was checking the footage, i just wanted to do my part as best as i could. >> you just described yourself as super suiweet. the reaction seems very extreme and it doesn't feel like someone super sweet. >> how would you feel if you're alone in new york and you're spending time with your family during the holidays and you lose the one thing that has all of

the access to the only way back home. >> i don't think i would randomly attack people is what i'm saying. i know you said you could have handled it better but i don't think i would randomly attack people in the manner in which you did. what do you think when you look at that video? you're standing there in your leggings and your flip-flops and it looks like you're just going nuts for lack of a better word. >> i don't feel that that is who i am as a person. i don't feel like this one mistake does define me and i do apologize that if i made the son feel as if i assaulted him or i hurt his feelings or the father's feelings. >> i don't think one mistake defines anybody, but at that particular video you did more than just accuse him. the video seems to show that you physically attacked this young boy. you do see that, too, right. >> the dad did slam me to the ground and pulled my hair and throwing me and dragging me across the ground.

so i will say that. >> but i think, you know, the video we saw, it looked like you were just attacking his son. >> yeah, the footage shows me attacking his son, attacking him how? yelling at him. apologize, can we move on. >> i know you say you just want to apologize but i do think there should be some context to your actions that day. >> so basically, i'm a 22-year-old girl. i am -- racism is -- how is one girl accusing a guy about a phone a crime? where is the context in that? what is the deeper story here. >> that is not the problem. you have to at least understand your actions that day. you seem to have attacked this little boy, this young boy, his

teenager, you seemed to have attacked this teenager about the phone and then it turned out he didn't even have your phone. that is the thing. i mean you're saying, look, i'm 22 years old, but you are old enough to know better. so i will say you're 22. >> i know. i get it. the hotel did have my phone. they did end up having my phone. i did get my belongings returned to me. >> wow! >> enough. >> that is my favorite part. enough. how the harold family lawyer said this is not about a family from someone who claimed she did nothing wrong and in fact alleged that keyon harrold sr. had attacked her. we'll have more interview with her on monday. i felt for the attorney there who was really trying to help her. and then when she interjected, mia would get up set and

insisted that she's not racial profiling ands had an explanation. and an uber driver returned the phone, she said that is not true. she wanted to make an apology, but as i said in the interview, i'm not sure you're helping yourself here. >> the point is he didn't havener hone. >> interesting choice of hat. >> and the footage is pretty clear and she is not ready to acknowledge what this shows. >> sharon said you might want to remove that hat and she refused to do that, too. it was an interesting afternoon. and at the time, i said have nypd been in touch with you. and it was interesting that after that interview that she was stopped and then arrested. >> well she said she doesn't understand why it is a crime. she might learn now. >> it is a sad story. it is something sad about her and the trauma that she put this

a lot of the focus is on the fallen officer who died from injuries sustained during that riot at the capitol. >> the president is attempting a complete 180 now facing resignations from top officials and the threat of being impeached again. the president claims he's outraged by the violence. >> the democrats are now pushing the president's now dwindling cabinet to swiftly invoke the 25th amend, declaring him unfit for office. >> what do you think should happen to president trump? >> donald trump has acted shamefully and he'll be remembered for having incited this. that is what his legacy is going to be. >> well, just when we all thought 20 was the worst 12 months of our lives, 2021 said, hold my year. >> once the chaos settled down on capitol hill, congress worked late into the night, officially certifying joe biden's victory at 3:30 in the morning, making this the only good decision to ever happen at 3:30 in the

morning. >> james corden, you raise a really good point. i was glad they went back and completed the work. >> yes. >> the mob did not win. >> you're not going to stop this. >> even though it was very late, i'm very glad. they did prevail that night. that's where we begin. president trump is finally condemning the violence at the u.s. capitol only more cabinet meks resign and calls are ramping up for his removal from office. in a new white house video mr. trump has acknowledged he'll leave office on january 20th, but he has not conceded this election. >> or congratulated the winner. we now know a capitol police officer has died after many attacked the police and forced their way in. dozens of officers gathered at the capitol last night to honor officer brian sicknick. he's the fifth person to die amid the riot. ben tracy is at the white house this morning. ben, good morning to you.

what is president trump now saying about this assault on the capitol on wednesday? >> reporter: well, tony, good morning. so faced with the possibility that his cabinet may invoke the 25th amend to remove him from office or he may be impeached again, the president abruptly changed his tone last night. in this video produced by the white house, the president also falsely claims he immediately called in the national guard wednesday, which actually did not happen until vice president pence got involved. now on wednesday the president called the violent mob special and told them we love you. now he's suddenly condemning them. >> the demonstrators who infiltrated the capitol have defiled the seat of american democracy. to those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. >> reporter: last night education secretary betsy devos became the second cabinet member to resign. in her resignation letter, she blamed the president for the attack on the capitol, writing,

there is no mistaking the impact your rhetoric had on the situation and it is the reflection point for me. then elaine chao acknowledged her resignation. vice president pence did not come to the white house yesterday and he and the president are barely speaking. there's a lot of pressure on the vice president to talk about invoking the 25th amend, especially from lawmakers on capitol hill. house speaker nancy pelosi says if he does not do that, she will consider a second impeachment. anthony. >> astonishing developments. thanks. there's also an interview in politico this morning with former white house political member alissa farah. she said when i was in the white house in late november, he, trump, knew that he had lost. she said the campaign's own polling reflected the election results, but she says of wednesday's riots, it was

unpatriotic, un-american, adding, frankly, we should call them terrorists. the acting deputy secretary of homeland security deputy ken cuccinelli joins us now. secretary, thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> good morning. i want to start with the report that ben just gave us. we have two cabinet secretaries that have resigned, others in the administration. have you yourself considered resigning? >> i'm staying at my post doing the public safety work we're doing for homeland security. i'm expecting to continue doing that. we were reported ly responsible for the capitol police. i was authorizing a lot of that activity for dhs. we're planning for a safe inauguration. we expect a safe inauguration in america. that's really what we're focused on right now. >> that's reassuring. as we reported, some cabinet

members have reportedly discussed using the 25th amend. would you support that? >> i'm not aware of any such discussions. i've heard of nothing like that inside the government. of course, this week i've been focused on the public safety aspects of our role at dhs, but the 12th amend says unable to serve. i guess they can decide what that means, but i don't see any -- i don't see unable. i see that people are upset and the speaker made her comments, but there's a long way to go to meet the constitutional requirement, and you saw vice president pence stick with his understanding, which i think is the right one, of the constitutional role he had to play, which was not to have any role in doing much more than counting the electoral votes from the states, and that's what the 12th amendment calls for.

i expect he'll be true to every other part of the constitution. >> do you not believe the president had a role in inciting this riot? >> well, for six or seven months, we've been calling on people on both sides to condemn violence where it occurs, and in the middle of the problem at the capitol on wednesday, we did get that tweet from the president calling on people to leave the capitol, be peaceful, and respect the peace officers, and so forth, so that was obviously helpful. it was a stronger statement yesterday. and i would note this administration is pursuing justice against those folks, and unlike other parts of the country -- portland is an obvious comparison -- the district of columbia in many respects acts like the local government. so unlike the prosecutor in portland who lets lots of rioters go with lots of charges, that is not happening here. the fbi is fully pursuing anyone they can find involved in this criminal activity, and we at dhs

are assisting them. they have the point, and there's no restraint on that. we are fully across the administration pursuing every avenue of justice available. >> why was the response so slow to this, mr. secretary? >> well, that's an excellent question. the capitol police are in a unique position. the only other similar police force in the district of columbia is the supreme court police. the capitol police report only to congress, and the supreme court police report only to the court. it's that branch of government of the government's own police force. we were moving folks, secret service agents in particular, over before the violence began, but that has to come at the request of the capitol police because they have jurisdiction there. and so when they made that request, we moved as quickly as we could, and secret service agents, federal service agents moved to support them literally

in the hundreds, so that did happen. the problem, of course, is the initial breach, and there was no backup behind that. and it does appear there was inadequate preparation in numbers by the capitol police. they were overwhelmed by a few hundred folks, and that shouldn't happen. now, on the positive, they kept all the members safe, which is even more important than the building, of course. that is the priority. and the vice president was never in danger, thanks to both the capitol police and the secret service. but the building was breached. that shouldn't have happened. there'll be an intensive review of that. you've already seen speaker pelosi fire the sergeant-at-arms and the capitol police chief. i have to say i agree with her in that action. this is a leadership failure that put officers in a very, very difficult position, and, of course, now we know we've lost one of those officers because of

injuries. >> acting deputy secretary cuccinelli, thank you so much. ahead, some of the acts of hair row richl that unfolded during the violence at the capitol. one lawmaker descr

a the capitol and the response we saw over the summer with black lives matter protests and she said in part, seeing the gulf between responses of yesterday's riot and this summer's peaceful protest and the larger movement for racial justice is just so painful. it hurts, she said, and i cannot think about moving on or turning the page until we reckon with the reality we saw yesterday. >> painful. i'm glad she and others are calling it out. >> the president did as well. i should say the president-elect as well. >> i was going to say, did he? >> no. donald trump did not. >> what people need to understand is the black lives matter protests, while there were extreme elements in those protests and those were covered, the underlying movement is about a real enduring tragic movement in this country we need to address. what we saw at the capitol was based on fiction, an election that was not stolen but fairly held, and that is the big difference. so people noticed a difference

in the tone of coverage. it's because of what these movements are based on. >> yeah. the root of them. >> it was also shown, though, that some of those extreme elements were actually not black lives matters protests either. it was shown those were people who infiltrated and were clearly not even part of the movement, whe. were there some nefarious activities, yes, to be true, but there was an overall movement. >> and we've pointed that out. >> let's move on. after social media disabled president trump's accounts, he's suspended from instagram until the end of his term. twitter said he spewed countless lice about voter fraud, and his tens of millions of followers. we're going to bring in the founder of dot dot dot media, laurie segall.

they'll say and what facebook has taken an incredibly hands-off approach. what they'll say is the public has a right to see some of these figures, but if there's language that incites violence, they will remove it, and i think this was that breaking point. >> here's the question. some of the president's allies have been criticized for not calling out his behavior earlier after seeing the tragedy this week. does soushl media get criticism for not getting on top of this much earlier? >> for a lot of folks, it's too little, too late. i remember interviewing mark zuckerberg years ago and said how does it feel to be editor in chief? this shows the power of technology in shaping media and culture in the conversation, but, you know, people -- even internal facebook employees have been calling for this to happen for a very long time. there have been multiple examples of this. twitter's early investor chris

say ka tweeted yesterday both facebook and twitter have blood on their hands for rationalizing terror over the last four years. so i do think it's really interesting jouchl to look at the timing. you look at the timing. president trump will be out of the office in two weeks, you have a new administration coming in and facebook and twitter under scrutiny. i think the timing is also pretty noteworthy as well. >> laurie, as you've reported, so many f o these extremist groups essentially live and breathe on social media. what if anything do we know about the role social media played in the attacks on the capit capitol? >> you know, i think this has been coming for a long time. i remember interviewing someone years ago who said our world is becoming a chat room and we're becoming our own avatars. i think we're seeing the rise of these niche platforms where people can live out their own

truth because facebook banned qanon back in october, but this was a conspiracy group that was allowed to gather and spread misinformation for a very long time. millions of people have been looking at this information. the pandemic only made it worse. people were home without jobs. they were seeking some sense of belonging,able it took these companies a long time, and it's still taking these company as long time to get control of this. i'll tell you one noteworthy thing i heard. i spoke to someone, a source close to the qanon movement at the capitol. i said, what's happening to the qanon platform, what's happening? >> he said now that it's banned, people are going to parler and elsewhere. i think we're seeing a new era now. i think they've gotten -- they're trying to get control of it, but this isn't going to go away. this is going to manifest itself in a different way. >> laurie segall, thank you very

much for being with us this morning. >> in the wake of the violent assault on the capitol, we're hearing about the heroes who stood up to protect democracy. ahead we'll hear abo

un-american and that you strongly disagree. now, you were with the president on the vote, but that doesn't mean you have to be with the protesters who claim they're supporting the president. i mean there's a big divide there, right? >> that's exactly it. >> reporter: the carnage from the country's deepdy provide was strewn all over the capitol building wednesday. representative andy kim from new jersey had just finished his first vote of the evening when he decided to do his part. >> it was just breaking my heart. when i got to the rotunda, which was the room i love the most, it brought a tear to my eye to see how desecrated it was. >> reporter: so congressman kim started cleaning up the debris. >> there was this plaque i came across that said abe low this plaque lies the cornerstone that george washington laid at the founding of this building, and it just reminded me this is bigger than us. this billing, this cap capitol is bigger than us. this democracy is bigger than us. >> reporter: the most un-american of the acts, the
