the president authorized calling up the national guard. ir to say that in many ways you are almost borderline begging the people in charge of the capitol led by nancy pelosi to take the guard troops because you are going to need them, the intelligence is telling us this could go -- spiral down in a bad way? >> yeah, you are right. that is in our blood stream at the department of defense which i lead, and a political organization, that is our bloodstream: prepare, prepare, prepare. prepare to the max of law allows you to prepare and this is borderline and basically pleading with them, almost begging them to say look at the intelligence, you are going to need the security information, we know you want sideshow to occur on january sixth but do not allow this to occur because lives will be hurt and lost, so we did with the law required and we went all the way up to the border and said, look, you know this is going to happen, let us help you. let us help you. let the department of defense help your security posture so it does not have to be fede

>> i don't recall the national guard police. i never spoke to the secretary of army was handling that relationship. but there must be a formal request. there cannot be a phone call that says, "hey, we need help." you cannot deployed troops in america it is unlawful unless the national guard pursuant to a legal and lawful request that has to come from the head of the agency. >> sean: last question. you went to this committee before this committee. i read that they were asking more questions about afghanistan, which seems rather odd to me. but you have a timeline of the events that day. you were backed up by the inspector general, department of defense in terms of you taking the right actions. my question to you, what is in that timeline that people need to know? >> no, fantastic question. it is backed up by writing. mayor bowser written refusal, the communication between the leader in the capitol police and chain of command to the dod refusing our request to allow national guardsmen and women to stage january 4, january 5, before

national guard was called in after widespread looting with more than a dozen states activating during the protest. the violence has brought a steady stream of cities issuing curfews and even came within a few hundred yards of the white house. president trump targeting one of the groups he said is behind the violence, tweeting the united states of america will be designated as a terrorist organization. the attorney general echoed those statements saying federal law enforcement actions will be directed at apprehending and charging the violent group of agitators who have hijacked peaceful protest and are engaged of violations of federal law. rioters who don't wait for dark in philadelphia where a number of police cars were set on fire. the head of the minnesota national guard said his soldiers are armed after receiving a warning from the fbi that there was a credible lethal threat against the minnesota national guard. >> there are shots fired, their sto pepper spray, let's move. >> the national guard has been called out in about hal half the states, more than 62000 people to try to keep

the governor used the national guard of arkansas to keep the black children out of the schools. esident eisenhower from a world war ii hero, general eisenhower, supreme allied commander, president eisenhower nationalized the arkansas national guard, made them federal, federalized the national guard. he had absolute authority to do that. once they were federalized, once they were in the chain of command at the defense department, the president had absolute authority in the governor was powerless, the integration, the integration of arkansas public schools and proceeded peacefully. there's no doubt that president trump, should he take that step, has the authority to nationalize or to impose the national guard -- to nationalize the state national guard appointments and make them federal. there's no doubt the president can do that. >> mma just comment on because used it as well and they passed by 92 riots, they were brought in but let me make one other point. this is the problem. 97, 98% of his cops are good, they're putting their lives on the line, they protect us and we have to pro

namely deploying national guard. many others that steve cited, the actor that is one of the tools available. whether that president instills that, that is his prerogative. we are focusing on the national guard. that's where it currently stands. and there is a distinction between the national guard and military forces in the street. the national guard are friends and neighbors in these communities who are used. and from general milley using great effect when they are deployed. so the focus of the call was the national guard and encouraging the deployment far more than the 17,000 out there utilizing them to be there this evening, certainly. >> reporter: do you see 100,000 national guard on the street? >> secretary mcenany: it is incumbent on governors to look at the situation, the case in texas might not to marry to the thing as new york city. he is encouraging the governors to up those levels, but there's not a specific number that he has in mind. david. >> reporter: there is a protection that the president is hiding

national guard. you as a former advisor to dhs, what are your thoughts on the national guard's involvement and their working with local law enforcement. >> there are going to be some local jurisdictions, policing jurisdiction needing national guard's help. as far as the relationship between the national guard and local police departments, it's quite exceptional. you see the national guard play a role in national events and participate in training exercises. you see the national guard participate in inauguration security. and we see the national guard playing a role in major airports and cities after 9/11. including new york city. while a city like new york doesn't necessarily need the national guard for this situation based on their numbers. most of these smaller police departments will. i think it's a good idea. they have police powers. they can make arrests. they can serve in a side by side function with the police authorities. rick: you have to be like so many americans disturbed by what you are s

where is the national guard? where is the national guard? over these next 24 to 48 hours, work with us to get the situation controlled. i want to talk about those mayors who are up 24/7 in minneapolis and st. paul. it's not about calling out someone on lack of leadership. it's about an issue as it developed in all of us figuring out how we get there. it's volatile. it's been building for decades. this flash point came to us i know what are we going to do about it? it happened in the middle of an unprecedented global pandemic. he gives us the chance. we are going to get to pick our paths quickly. how are we going to be seen by the world in the coming days? how are we going to be seen after that? how are we going to respond to one another? and what are we going to do about it? again, if i were everybody in these communities listening, i will say -- i'm going to say "i'll believe it when i see it." the first task at hand is to get civil control back. get justice moving quickly and fairly and start talking about together, how do we rebuild? how

in the national guard without asking if we need the national guard. at no time was this mentioned that anyone felt there was a need for the national guard to come in. >> there are 1000 national guard troops in atlanta to protect government buildings, donald trump is pushing for schools to reopen nationwide calling for leaders to put plans in place by this fall. >> richardson joins us from dc, suing over pandemic relief funds for schools. >> reporter: ultimately this one is up to local education officials whether they are going to bring students back but with tens of millions of students stuck at home with their parents the president in the white house have a public initiative to try to bring those students back to the classroom this fall. >> we don't want people to make political statements or do it for political reasons was it will be good for them politically so they keep the schools closed, no way so we are very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools, to get them open, very important for our country. >> with

are a few reasons why the national guard is so important for this type of incident, the national guard works for the governors and offers under state authorities, it has arrest authority as opposed to our active duty brothers and sisters in the first marine division for the 82nd airborne and they do not have authority and is very important that the national guardsmen and women can arrest these looters in these rioters in support of the police. in the other key things, they train for these types of things, we trained for natural disasters, we trained for supporting major events like inauguration and we trained for support to these types of civil disturbances. that is important as well, here's the most important piece, national guardsmen and women are from the community, they have civilian jobs when they're not in uniform, they live in those communities as opposed to active duty from all over the country and live in the basis, these men and women go back into the cities and go back into those communities at night, there was a famous incident in the baltimore riot and i am a member of the

he served as a major in the national guard and commanded 2,000 national guardsmen in 2006 when president bush dispatched 6,000 national guard to the border. talk to us on why now. why is there an increase and why is the president saying i have had enough, i want to send the national guard? >> we are seeing now those shouts at the bored are let's probe and test this president. the laws are still hand cuffing our system. the catch and release was still in effect until this week. the president signed an order ending catch and release. sessions who is late to the game is pushing hard and i applaud him to that. he's sending 4,000 national guard. and i caution this whole process and this deployment. there are some who are advising the president, let's send mechanics to figure the border patrol vehicles. let's send admin support so they can do surveillance. i was the command irv those who did that worknd also far more importantly, armed soldiers. issues 120 rounds of ammunition. they were deployed directly on the bored. you had 3 to 5 soldiers with a military vehicle. we had a bank of lights th

the president has directed that the national guard be deployed to the southern border. the department of defense has long supported the efforts of dhs to protect our nation's borders. this includes infrastructure construction, surveillance operations training and aerial support roughouthe western hemisphere. while plans are being finalized, it's our expectation that the national guard will deploy. it will take time to have the details in place but it will begin today and we're anxious to have this support. i've spoken with the governors. some have already confronted illegal immigration and to strengthen the border security to prevent the criminal activity and the inflow of drugs. these are leaders that understand the importance of enforcement and how it improves safety in their states. i look forward to working with them. as a result, i will not provide full details today because much of what we'll be doing with the border state governors will be worked out through the appropriate processes as it has been in the past. the urgency cannot be underscored. we will be doing t

national guard is ready to open. shannon: we follow breaking news out of minneapolis as unrest ranges across the city for a third day. officials warn the third police precinct could explode after people protesting the death of george floyd set it on fire. rob: on the streets of minneapolis, the national guard now on the ground. >> reporter: we are not far from the police precinct building that was evacuated because looters entered and tried to set it on fire. you see some of the national guard is activated and they are doing their best to maintain calm and peace. across the city there is an alarming and disturbing level of looting and destruction going on, we are seeing cars on fire, we can hear gunshots near and far and the air is thick with smoke, all types of fires raging around us. the national guard and authorities are trying to maintain order but in many places there is lawlessness as riders roam free. the minnesota national guard tweeted we have activated 500 soldiers to surrounding communities to protect life

the national guard will step in and take their place. those agents will then be redeployed to the front lines to do the best thing they can do, as it relates to introductions and patrolling the border. this is different than any of the other times we've done it before. there's a lot of intensity around making sure we can trim and ebbed the flow of these numbers. and put us in a situation where the border is in a much safer condition. we are trying to have this capability as much as possible but there's a process. the pentagon has to work with the states to get the right kind of resources and combination. we owe the pentagon a full and complete list of our requirements. the one we are standing by for them to address the nation in a briefing at the pentagon on this very issue. it will be interesting to get the details from the dod standpoint. i want to talk to you about what happens when you see a pickup of the north of 200%. what does that look like and what pressure does that put on your men and women? >> it's an example of where the pre

those nypd can be out dynamically policing while you have the national guard doing the stan around, blocking position. these national guardsmen and women are fantastic. they're from the neighborhood they're deploying to in many cases. if the governors are hesitant to use the national guard, it will have to come down to this if this doesn't slow down. we're not there yet though. >> dana: i do think that it's worth noting that there are things that need to happen. i'll tell you a story i heard last night. a friend of mine whose son has type 1 diabetes. he lives in los angeles. needed to get his medicine. tried to go to the cvs there and a local area where he goes but it was looted. it's not available. called the other cvs. it's not available. so they had to fed ex medicine from south carolina to california. i use that as one small example. we've seen lots of examples of businesses pushed down, people beat up, the looting, the anger. yet it's not getting us to a solution. i would have you comment for a moment on when you ask the national guard to come out and to police something like this situa

>> well, i think our national guard is a blessing to the nation. citizen soldiers that left utah and north carolina to come to d.c. to keep order. they have been guarding monuments, washing of grotesque graffiti in town. this is a center of america's government. i have good news. i talked to the national guard bureau chief with senator mike lee, all of the national guard soldiers will be in hotels tonight in the district of columbia. i don't know what happened with the housing issue, but i will get to the bottom of it. but to the people of utah and south carolina may have family members appear appear they will be house tonight and they will be taken care of and i will go visit the south carolina national guard troops deployed to d.c. since 9/11 they have done wars, hurricanes, floods, now civil unrest. they are the best bang for your buck in dod's budget, the national guard. >> neil: senator, the national guard is one thing, troops or another when you are talking about sending in the military. there have been some raids and possibility insurrection

national guard. you as a former advisor to dhs, what are your thoughts on the national guard's involvement and their working with local law enforcement. >> there are going to be some local jurisdictions, policing jurisdiction needing national guard's help. as far as the relationship between the national guard and local police departments, it's quite exceptional. you see the national guard play a role in national events and participate in training exercises. you see the national guard participate in inauguration security. and we see the national guard playing a role in major airports and cities after 9/11. including new york city. while a city like new york doesn't necessarily need the national guard for this situation based on their ill. i think it's a good idea. they have police powers. they can make arrests. they can serve in a side by side function with the police authorities. rick: you have to be like so many americans disturbed by what you are seeing out there tonight. >> let's start at the begi

>> the national guard was part of the unified command.hey were providing services all throughout the area so officials would be freed up to be part of that command. as i said before, we had 700 guardsmen in the region doing a lot of static work out there, such that others could. we certainly had guard at the command post and later in the night we had guard at the ferguson police department. but we will have more out there tonight and we will continue to provide resources. i promise over here first. yeah, yeah. [ inaudible question ] as i said before, we had some, i'm not sure the exact number at the command center various times and somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 at the police department. [ inaudible question ] >> he was saying you may have been pressured by the obama administration to not deploy the number of these guardsmen to ferguson as opposed to guard federal building. >> that is false and absurd and politics, nothing to do with what any of the folks up here are doing. we're doing our duty, you have behind me a series of sworn

the thing with the national guard is they're from the communities. y job, civilian jobs in those communities. there was a famous incident in the baltimore riots where a rioter was yelling at a guards men go home and he said i am home. i live right here. number two, many of these guard units are military police units that actually normally do policing duties on bases, they are absolutely trained for it. we also have civil affairs units we train as a force for hurricanes, wildfire, natural disasters. it's an integral part of what the guard trains for , so that is you could tell he's never served. that is just a wrong and ignorant statement and finally, brian i do want to give a shout out to the guard who are at large. they still have 40,000 soldiers with ongoing covid support. they now have 20,000 doing the support to quell these riots and then we still have international missions and the overseas missions that they're on rotation to do, so this is a huge stress on the force, but they will step up and do the job. brian: and not complain and get this. th

you had to activate the national guard. tell us what happened. >> well, free speech is a fundamental right. and you know, peaceful protest have their purpose. people protest when they feel like they are not being heard. what happened on sunday night is that i prestaged national guard troops in several different communities in south dakota so that they would be ready, if needed. and it was needed in sioux falls on sunday night. within minutes of the mayor asking for national guard troops, they were on the scene and were able to shut down a lot of the violence going on. really what national guard did was come in and secure an area, so more law enforcement could move to where the crowd was at. it was incredibly important to be there on site and be ready to respond within a couple of minutes. steve: we are looking as you are speaking to me we are looking at video surveillance. i understand that the local law enforcement there in south dakota has released these videos to the public saying do you know who these people are who are

iing up the national guard is it fair to say that in many ways you're almost borderline begging the people in charge at the capitol led by nancy pelosip to take the guard troops because you're going to need them? the intelligence is telling us this could go really spiral down in a bad way. yeah, you're right. look, that's in our bloodstream at the department of defense, which i ledrtrt , which is anza apolitical organization that's in our bloodstream prepare prepareti, prepare, prepare for the max that the law allows yout to prepare. and this does borderline b on basically pleading with them almost begging them to say lookd at the intelligence you're going to need the security situation. do t not politicize this .we knw we know you want a sideshow to occur on january six , but do not allow this to occur because lives will be hurt. livesrt will be lost . and so we did what the law required but we wentt all the way up to the border and said, look, you know, this is going to happen. let us help you. let us help you. h letel us the department of defense help your security posture so it doesn't

it is not free to deploy the national guard.mes at a time when military readiness is at an all-time low. we've been doing stories about the crashes in the u.s. air force and other branches. you yourself were a fighter pilot. this is going to cost a lot of money. we had a huge budget put through that will bring the military back up to fighting shape. is this worth it? >> i voted for that. i support our military and make sure we stop the readiness crisis. it is very real and we have to give the troops everything they need however. >> leland: there are only so many dollars. whatever is spent on the border with national guard troops is one more spare part you don't buy for an f/a-18 that can't fly tomorrow. >> we need to do both and we can't afford not to secure our border. if you look at these national guard troops citizen soldiers. a lot of them are in support areas. they can support intelligence, their main career field. supporting fleet management to free up border patrol agents to patrol on the border. it is doing both. >> lela

there is a big difference in my mind between the national guard, a governor calling up the national guard and between president trump talking about the insurrection act which has actually not been used that often, it was used in 1992 after the riley king incident in california but the governor requested it. and president eisenhower used it to desegregate schools so it has been used very sparingly and one of the reasons you saw such a reaction last night, there are many reasons. what's happening in the city i live in is something i never thought i would see, quite frankly. but i think one of the reasons you see distrust of president trump and his talk about using the military is because he is not making an effort to distinguish, not meeting with leaders of the peaceful protests, he seems to be, to many people, lumping all these protesters an end when you see police or national guard arresting people back peaceful protesters, shooting journalists with rubber bullets and arresting them after they've presented their credentials and identified as the media, when you see the police not being re

the national guard is here. there. police is here and they're coming. nabe from neighboring communities. yet, what we have seen this morning they can not be everywhere at the same time. and as they dragged out some of these young men that they were arresting, there was quite a commotion across the street. the people over here were all harassing the police. in fact, the, before a lot of reinforcements came, some of the folks ran up to the storefront, while the suspects were inside, the suspected looting was happening, and they were all jeering at the police. so, there are a lot more police here today. but now we're trying, we're starting to see, it might not be enough bill. bill: all right peter. peter doocey, thank you, from the scene there. we're just trying to catch a little more of some of these images of the looters, in broad daylight here, in baltimore. okay now, i want to go back to new york. in a moment martha we'll get more from baltimore, to let you know what is happening with the national guard out here and e

it's not just the national guard . any military support they requested. we got one request from mayor bowser which we fulfilled in full. >> isn't this consistent with what the president did in the summer of 2020 and we had these local authorities butting heads? the president would authorize the use of the guard and they wouldn't call up the guard, but he left it in the hands of loca authorities in almost every instance? >> i wasn't there for that event . i can only speak about the 6th of january and the events leading up to it. i can say definitively presiden trump offered any and all support by suitable officials within washington, d.c., federal , and local. >> kash patel, let me ask you. we are told by the committee chairman that it was reported that nancy pelosi is off-limits. that means no testimony, no tex messages, no e-mails and nothin from the sergeant of arms and nothing from mayor bowser. is it not true that the mayor herself in writing declined the use of the guard that trump authorized? is that true all of that true? >> all of that is true. th

i suggested he reach out to the national guard commander for a couple of reasons. one of them was i had read in the paper or heard on the news that the national guard in d.c. was rather reticent to engage because of the issues that had arisen in the white house demonstrations of a month ago and that we need to make sure that the national guard was engaged in this and that they would be willing to -- >> do you think you did make sure they were engaged and would be willing? i want to go to one more question here. did you think they were engaged and would be willing if called on? >> yeah, that's what i think i asked the chief to do coming from the general. >> mr. irving you said in your testimony that when asked fosh national guard assistance you approved it. mr. sund stated that he asked for the national guard assistance at 1:09 and you approved -- it was approved at 2:10. why would it take an hour to approve national guard assistance on your part in that moment of crisis? mr. irving. >> senator, from my recollection, i did not receive a request for approval for nati

on the national guard.ators say the order for national guard to move from being on the capitol buildings to the parking garage was a mistake made lower in the chain of command rather than from on high. a republican said it came from a uniformed police officers who issued an order without authority. chuck schumer said something similar. let's bring in jason and juan. mistake or not, somebody thought had a had the authority to do something they didn't do. jason, you wonder where was the chain of command here? >> yes, the optices are horr 55ic. -- are horrific. how could somebody not think through what to do with the thousands of national guard's men at night. isn't that an obvious question? >> john: is came on the heels that all 25,000 national guard members were veted to see if they were threats to the inauguration. >> well, i think that's right. there were a few who had some ties. it was about a dozen that were withdrawn. overall, i think it's outrageous you would not take care of the people who secured the

now, the national guard this morning has arrived in the city of baltimore. aring that up to 5,000 national guardsmen could be deployed. right now, obviously, the number is far fewer than that. we saw some of their mobilized units maneuvering through the city heading out to some of the more troubled spots. but, again, this part of the city a lot more quiet now. obviously, the governor of maryland declaring a state of emergency. 15 police officers injured pretty badly overnight. the extent of their injuries vary obviously, from officer to officer. one was knocked unconscious, reportedly hit in the head with a rock. and the condition of that specific officer still unknown. more than two dozen people arrested a short time ago, not far from here. the police commissioner spoke about his officers. >> one officer knocked out, hit in the head. he was taken to the hospital. i just checked on him. he's doing better. i had an officer on his left kneecap severely damaged. there again, shock trauma. i had two more officers down, injured fairley seriously. all are going to

when you use the national guard, the national guard seems to work to stop the and violence. so i don't know why you want to kick out the national guard before the violence has been quelled. >> greg: we are in a weird situation in that we are being told everything is great and peachy but i just heard this phrase yesterday, or was it today, called measure management. that's how the media treats the public. they keep us in the dark and they keep feeding us. anyway, i don't know what's going on. i have a question. we are seeing the stock market go up and we are seeing corporations and businesses go back to work, it seems like the economy is getting back to strength. is that because america is so strong that it can endure a pandemic as well as like insurrections, or, have the riots in the chaos and the insurrections made everybody in power a bit relieved. and, if the public is at odds with each other, it's not going to be black versus white, and that's the people who hold power. you ride and loot, but the movement goes back at that game. >> greg: that's a great point. if you keep

and at the white house right now, the national guard, 600 to 800 additional national guard from five states are being deployed to d.c. from ohio, new jersey, delaware, utah and new york to join the 1200 d.c. guards who have already been mobilized. the insurrection acts have not been invoked, according to senior official who briefed at the pentagon, bret. >> bret: jennifer griffin, life at the pentagon, jennifer again thank you. waiting for the president criticized for not remarking, not giving remarks, not speaking out but of course he did have a speech at the nasa event down at the cancer -- kansas space center at the rocket launch over the weekend. he talked about this specifically, the georgia florida death and how horrific it was in his words come and also the protest. you are looking now at lafayette park across from the white house and a beefed-up presence of both a combination of secret service, national guardsmen. there are d.c. police in and around the area as well. there has been from of the area of ground zero for a lot of the chaos over recent nights and obviously on the o

we currently have created a request for the national guard to substantially increase the number of national officers that would be available. we have reassessed our strategy in terms of our ability to mobilize mobile forces that have been affected in moving against a armed and more entrenched group of protesters and what i would really operate and say more that they are entrenched group of rioter's. we had officers who had been injured and none seriously at this point. but we have not given up our efforts to try to clear the streets and we will not give up the efforts to clear the streets. we are committed to restoring order in minneapolis, helping st. paul, maintain order. were getting ready for what we believe will be one of the largest crowds that we have ever heard and that we recognize that we will be at the center of a come out not just a statewide event, not just a national event, but what is now looking to be a international event tomorrow. in that same area that we're holding right now in the area around nicollet and lake. at this time, i ask john jensen and national guard to provi

they will have the national guard out in full force. here is the mayor. >> this is no longe -- no longet verbal expression. this is about violence and we need to make sure it stops. we are in the middle of a pandemic. we have two crises sandwiched on top of one another. reporter: the blame has come shown outsiders. the public safety commissioner says the violence is not over. he says losing a police precinct emboldened the rioters. there will be an early presence. last night they weren't out until well after midnight. a minimal police presence. dana: steve harrigan, thank you. the national guard is beefing you have its presence in the twin cities and the largest mobilization in the history of minnesota. the governor talked with the secretary of defense about the potential deployment of more troops. reporter: there are 13,000 soldiers in a fully mobilized minnesota national guard. the governor said he spoke to the defense secretary and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff to discuss options. >> they were able to provide their intelligen
