the national guard with the fbi, local police have been researching this wooded area here. just around the bend is the neighborhood where baby lisa lives, where she was last seen. that's just around there. this is the road that leads out of the neighborhood, back towards downtown or on to the freeways and all of these areas have been searched already. this pawnshop and the area around it have been searched. they wanted to be sure they could get a fresh set of eyes on it. they don't have a lot of other leads to go on. they're doubling back, being sure that nobody missed anything. here is what the fbi told us earlier. >> what we're looking at here is we have searched this area, we have new people out here, fresh eyes looking at the area that we have already searched. definitely being thorough, doing our due diligence and making sure we have fresh eyes out there, maybe there is something we didn't see the first time we searched it. >> reporter: fredricka, look at this area they had to re-search. it is dense woods, hard to even walk through it when it gets into this heavily woo

and you see the national guard. there are more troops in the city right now than there are in iraq and afghanistan because of last week's insurrection. let's listen to a little bit. the capitol building, you see it behind me, it is a monument to our democracy. it is a symbol of our democracy, it is also a workplace for members of congress every day, and for nancy pelosi now for decades. listen how she describes talking about so many disgusting images, but one jumps out at the speaker. >> so many disgusting images, but one, the man in a shirt with "auschwitz" on it. to see this punk with that shirt on and his anti-semitism that he has bragged about, to be part of a white supremacist raid on this capitol requires us to have an active action review, to assign responsibility to those who are part of organizing it and incentivizing it. >> she's right about the i am a -- images. she's right about the images of the auschwitz shirt, the confederate flag. in the united states capitol, it was a punk. it's hard to hear the spe

you see the national guard and police up there. you really cannot come into d.c. from virginia on any of four bridges in this area, which is an extraordinary security measure. these are very heavily trafficked bridges, about 800,000 cars a day are going over these four bridges, and we can also show you further examples of how movement is restricted here. you've seen a couple civilians on a bike and running but other than this little area here, you can't get anywhere near the lincoln memorial. look at the fencing, another checkpoint just to the right over there. the entire national mall is shut down to civilian traffic. you cannot get really any further than that point on to the national mall here as inauguration day approaches. they're pushing the perimeters further and further out from the center of the city. movement inside the city is very, very restricted. roads are closed all over the place. again, this is an abundance of caution but you do hear about them vetting national guard members, you hear about these fbi reports that two people have been removed from

and we're very thankful for the national guard. like i said, we had sheriff's departments coming from all over the state of wisconsin. they brought their personnel, they brought their equipment, they brought their armored cars. they brought things that we needed. the state of wisconsin and federal government, atf, u.s. marshals, they brought technology, equipment too. and the resources in the information they have passed to us is a mess. we have got the dnr wardens that don't have riot gear were out every day in the face of everything. state troopers were here. the local agencies here in kenosha and around us couldn't be better brothers and sisters that we could ask for to help protect kenosha. tuesday we put up a fence around this building. all of you were allowed to come in through the gate. like i said earlier, this is a focal point for protesting and still was last night. the protesters want to come here, say their peace, which is wonderful. no one in law enforcement has any issues with peaceful groups coming in here and protes

we have our national guard and nobody wants to use them. cities are ransacked and they're disgraced all over the world.

there are still national guard troops arriving here today.t saw several buses heading into the capitol compound here. the secret service is at the gate, actually, with dogs. the u.s. capitol police sniffing even buses bringing in national guard troops and military vehicles as they were entering the capitol compound, they were being swept for bombs. i just want to give you a picture -- show you what's going on here at the capitol. we are closer to the capitol here now, and you can see the razor wire fencing, and there are about a dozen or so national guard troops, heavily armed national guard troops here standing. not every national guard troop is heavily armed, some on the outer perimeter don't have some of the heavy weaponry. as you said, john, there is this concern of the insider threat. the head of the washington, d.c. national guard addressed that this morning. >> a regular background check is enhanced with more screening, more details and it's layered. so the fbi is part of it, the secret service is part of it, and once they are certain

national guard helicopter helped evacuate people stranded in a field. we just learned an 80-year-old woman is believed to be the sixth person presumed killed due to the floods. 482 others are unaccounted for but authorities point out many of the people may be safe but just unable to call in. crews air dropped food and water supplies to people who are trapped in some areas where rescueers haven't been able to reach. the disaster is being described as a once in a thousand year event. it is taking an emotional toll even on officials who are used to seeing tragedy. >> i felt a lot of hope and real energy yesterday because the question i had was how can we recover from this. i know exactly inch by inch, mile by mile, community by community they are taking this stuff. people are getting those things done out there. >> entire towns are completely cut off by flood waters so destructive wiping out mountain sides, homes and hundreds of miles of roads. colorado's governor appeared on cnn's state of the union and said the focus right now is getting people to safety

ultimately the green light for the national guard is to come in from the mayor's office.e reached out to mayor landers office. we have a great working relationship with the national guard and they are engaged on a daily basis in the crime fighting work that they are doing in new orleans. we do not plan to ask for troops. sir, did you get the same response and do you plan to challenge that? >> i'm hearing the same response and the mayor is do a really difficult job right now with trying to bring this city back and i applaud his efforts. everybody in the city is working hard. right now what the new orleans police department is doing is not working. we've got to make sure that the people of this city, the people who come to this city and visit this city are protected. we had about 15 shootings on halloween night. that's totally unacceptable. we have to make sure that we protect the people who come here and also have to protect our visitors. we have a lot going oncoming up in this city. we have major supportiporting e coming up. but if we don't get control of this crime probl

the national guard patrolled the streets.moil inspired me to become a public defender, a step never anticipated would lead me toward this improbable journey. 12 years ago i was waiting at the train station in wilmington for a black man to pick me up on our way to washington where we were sworn in as president and vice president of the united states of america. and here we are today, my family and i, about to return to washington to meet a black woman of south asian descent to be sworn in as president and vice president of the united states. as i told beau on that station waiting for barack and hunter i said, naturally, don't tell me things can't change. they can and they do. that's america. that's delaware. a place of hope and light and limitless possibilities. and i'm honored. i am truly honored to be your next president and commander in chief and i will always be a proud son of the state of delaware. as tommy, better known as chairman carper, senator carper, knows my colleague in the senate used to always kid me for quoting

we had another national guard officer -- actually, the head of the georgia national guard yesterday tell reporters this is a sign of the times, we need to do better as a country if it requires basically the national guard to be out on the street. the president also very clearly signalling he is willing to send active duty forces, some are already on standby, of course. this would be a significant escalation. and he already is using the secretary of defense, mark esper, and the chairman of the joint chiefs mark milly, as visual signals of professional intention. they were with him yesterday, general milly walking across lafayette park in his battle fatigues, something we rarely see. general milly went back out on the streets last night. have a listen of a little bit of what he had to say. >> just allow freedom to assemble and freedom of speech. that's perfectly fine. we support that. we took an oath to the constitution of the united states of america to do that and to protect everyone's rights, and that's what we do. we've got the d.c. national guard out here and i'm just checking to see

in certain situations and even when it is not clear when they're not supposed to, sending the national guards to the border even when their roles are pretty metal. she sticks a bunch of guard men. the question is what is he going to do at least seems like he's doing what he's saying. >> i think you are right the president says these things without thinking about how legal it is and what the reality of the situation is and the rest of the government follows behind him trying to make his words a reality even if it is just you know kind of a minimal role like you saw at the border. i mean when i listen to this call and i listen to what the president was saying, you see just two completely different america that are playing out here. the president is thinking that a more militarized police and more militarized presence on the street is what is needed and response to these protests. you have protesters themselves and you have a lot of people in this country saying that's the opposite of what we want and the problem is actually how overly militarized and how the use of force is being disproportiona

the national guard plans to have at least 10,000 troops in washington, d.c. by end of the week. this is coming as law enforcementen in the nation's capital and around the country are bracing for more extremist violence amid the transition of power. the threat of violence is leading the national parks service to close the washington monument to visitors for the next two weeks. today the mayor of washington, d.c., muriel bowser, urged people to stay away from the city and instead watch the inauguration on tv. josh campbell is with us now. cnn's security correspondent, and you know, josh, we're hearing this from the d.c. mayor, asking president trump and the acting homeland security director tom wolfe to declare a pre-disaster declaration and asking the trump administration to cancel public gathering permits between now and january 24th. i mean, those seem like obvious moves, but haven't happened. >> reporter: that's right. hard to look at that and not think there is a heavy dose of politics infused in trying to secure the nation's capitol. i say this, look in the past year the way

what prompted the national guard's involvement now? >> honestly what prompted this is a lack of any other leads. police it tell us they haven't made any breakthroughs on the case. they're trying to get fresh eyes on this investigation. take a look here, as you mentioned 25 national guardsmen deployed here to research this area a few blocks away from the home. these are especially trained mps, and they've been trained in it. joining fbi and local law enforcement here to just try to bring a fresh set of eyes, go through everything, make sure they haven't missed anything. here's what the national guard told us about their search. >> with the additional man power, they're able to research or search the area with like a fine tooth comb. they're able to get down in the grass, dig in the dirt, try to find any glues that helps. they're low crawling under bushes and vines. >> and here's exactly what they're talking about. take a look at this thicket. this goes on and on for probably about a half a mile around this field. this is where they've b

he could be either state national guard or federal national guard. i believe this is the next shoe to drop. i mean, i believe as we learn more, we will either determine you know, for reasons that are inexplicable to me that he was a state national guard member. having access to information as almost no relevance to a state national guard or possibly that he had been federalized under title 10 status, in which case the pentagon has a big problem right because he is reporting up the pentagon chain of command, and they should have had better oversight over him. and either case, let's just say it's not good. can you explain how the process works when somebody has top secret national security clearance because it seemed yesterday from the pentagon briefing that they were really focusing on the fact that he signed an n d, a and, and that in and of itself is sort of like the ball's in his court. he broke that agreement, and he gave the analogy that brigadier general that it was as if somebody's home had been locked and somebody who had a copy of the key the

the national guard has been going out nonstop. minutes ago, had another huge truck going by, and it looks like there is another one ready to go here as well. there is another truck coming down the street, going out to get more people. basically there are people that are trying to be evacuated because they can't get out of the water. it is absolutely putrid, fuel, sewage, water inside there, just not good at all. so they're running out of supplies. there goes one right now. you can see it. they're running out of supplies so these trucks are going to pick them up and basically just making big, big loops and grabbing a lot of people. there it goes. you can see just how high the water is too, anderson. going down a little bit, but still not passable. >> and all that water has to be pumped out, right, bob? >> yeah. it is a real issue. see this guy here, he has a ski pole in his hand, he's trying to clear the drains. he's doing a good job, too. the last couple of minutes you see swirlings going on. the water is draining. why i'm sta it

saying they don't have specific intelligence indicating that there are insider threats among the national guard and the chief spoke about that not long ago. take a listen. >> it is not a threat for me. i'm not concerned about that at all. when we look at our national guardsman, we vet them throughout the process. and we don't allow extremism of any type in our organization. and when we look at this as a national special security event, the inauguration, this type of vetting is standard with all of these events. >> reporter: so, you've got the vetting of the national guard and many layers of security. i'm going to show you an extraordinary one right here. we're on the 14th street bridge. what is amazing to look at is just look behind me. they're letting traffic go from d.c. to virginia right there. but no trax coming from virginia into washington. extraordinary because this bridge is never shut down. it is one of the most heavily trafficked bridges in the entire mid-atlantic region between these two spans of this bridge and two other bridges, the memorial bridge and the theodore roosevelt bridge

send in the national guard to stop in the blood shed in chicago.n. >> calling for drastic action. of course it is. is it warranted under these circumstances? without question. there should be no mistake. people may be quick to equate national guard deployment with martial law. we are not talking about rolling tanks down the street. we are not talking about armed presence on every corner. we are talking about individuals, men and women that have been specifically trained to assist law enforcement and assist with civil unrest. >> joining us now are two men who are deeply involved in chicago's communities. victor woods is an author and community activist and father michael flavor from the area. he is joining us on the phone. we want to talk to you, father, real quickly. you in the church, i remember an incident about a year, maybe a little bit longer ago where someone was, you were holding these youth summits and someone was shot very close to the church. do you feel that honestly the officials there, the police, everyone involved, are they doing enou

i talked to general bob newman, the virginia national guard, he has 10,000 national guard troops availablemmitted 700 to this mission in northern virginia. and he's responded to requests that come to the governor, come directly to the guard. their number one concern is if people need help, they are to call the local 911 and help will be on the way through a collaborative effort through local and state assets, with the great capability of the national guard to help save people. and one note on that, ali -- >> yeah. >> -- is that people need to check on their elderly neighbors as well as the disabled people in their community to make sure if they need help or if they know anyone on dial sills or have diabetes issues, that they reach out to them, because, remember, the first line of response is neighbors helping neighbors. >> all right. and that's good advice for people to follow. the danger most people are in right now, other than those immediate health care issues, general, as chad myers was saying, a roof collapsing or the power going out or a tree branch falling on your house. those are t

national guard. he is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and adviser to the president, the nation's top, if you will, policy-maker on military matters. is that inappropriate at all for the chairman of the joint chiefs? >> i don't think it was the best use of his time last night for him to be out there among the troops. i think you're looking at 40 years of leadership of army soldiers, many of those years in combat. i think that was just coming out in milley's personality that he felt he needed to be out there to show the troops that he supported them and that -- and to try to put their mission into a bigger context sort of in line of what sean was saying. that's where his heart was, but i don't think it was the appropriate use of his time last night, particularly given the photos doan at st. john's church, which unfortunately he got wrapped up into as well. >> kaitlan, one of the issues is we heard the president many, many times before try to assert authority that he does not have whether it's

the national guard now patrolling almost every intersection across the district. this is a checkpoint. this is one of the areas where sometimes cars will come through, the national guard will ask for i.d., will ask for credentials to allow them to come through. this is blocks from the capitol. the perimeter across the capitol, across washington, d.c., is wide. every iconic structure from the white house to all the monuments and the national mall, all fenced in. everything around there has fences. authorities here very concerned over the threat that the district faces and also the threat that much of the country is facing. shimon prokupecz, cnn, washington. >> shimon, thank you. joining me now is charles ramsey, cnn law enforcement analyst and also formally police commissioner. thank you for being with me. >> thank you. >> can you talk about what it's like to lead in a moment like this. >> well, i mean, it's nerve-wracking but it's exciting. i mean, you know, whenever you have a major event take place and of course i was part of the planning for two presidential in

we continue to work with the alaska national guard, the u.s. st guard and the alaska state troopers. we thank everyone for their support and prayers. mitch would not confirm and he would not deny the reporting so far that suggests that the former senator was, in fact, on that plane. we do know that the former nasa administrator sean o'keefe was market on that plane that went down in the overnight hours in dillingham, alaska. john zarrellas that a bit more background on sean o'keefe. >> reporter: yeah, as i was saying earlier, he was very, very pragmatic but very, very eloquent and for the four years that he ran nasa, that was his focus and that was his life, and, in fact, someone that i know at the space agency, i had asked that person, well, how do you remember sean from the days that that you worked with administrator o'keefe, and i got this e-mail back, and it says, he was direct and focused on space exploration. he made the hard zigs to initiate better management of nasa's budget and contracting and was great ambassador for nasa both nationa

you have deployed the national guard.he country what the people of joplin are dealing with. >> well, first of all, it's total devastation with the hospital down, the high school down, other areas. the bottom line is we declared a state of emergency. we've ordered the activation, we have guardsmen, boots on the ground there now. we've also brought in for a search for survivors, and with the number of buildings that are down, we've brought in task force one. this was a group out of columbia, missouri that helped in 9/11 to search for survivors and has worked throughout the world. we want to make sure that if there are folks that are injured but covered that as the night gets dark that we're out there making sure we can get as many survivors as possible. >> okay. so you don't know the number. and as i'm talking to you, governor, i'm going through, i just have a friend who's from that area. his name is steve ellis, and he just e-mailed me, saying my relatives are in joplin, we cannot reach them, please call me, friend, we nee

the general for the wisconsin national guard. i want you to know i grew up in wisconsin, where i make my home and raising my kids. what's happening in this community goes beyond city and county boarders. it effects us all as wisconsinites and americans. with that, i'm here to give you an update on the role of the national guard. as we continue toserve in a supporting role to local law enforcement. we're help to preserve public safety and to insure individual rights to exercise their first-amendment rights to demonstrate. yesterday i spoke about the sacrifices of the national guard service members leaving their families and homes to come here and support kenosha. today i want to make sure and reemphasize there are other people from all over the state, law enforcement, who have done the same thing. they've picked up what they were doing, left their jobs, their families and rallybed hind this mission to bring a peaceful conclusion to this event. so, i think that's important. i think we need to keep that in mind and keep them in mind

five are now dead, including three members of the national guard. also, a civilian and a shooting suspect who apparently turned the gun on himself. i want to play for you one of the 911 calls. you can actually hear the shooting in the background. >> this is 911. >> it's ihop. there's a shooting going on. there's shooting. >> shooting where? >> in the ihop. >> in the ihop? >> ihop. automatic weapons. ihop. get there right now. automatic weapons. >> automatic weapons. >> one guy going in. he's coming back out with a gun and shooting people in the parking lot. get out of there. move!

is this an answer, national guard?m not sure if it's the answer, but it's definitely an answer. i feel like i read some number this morning that said there were over 200 gun related violence occurring since newtown 0. there needs to be a stop to it. people need to feel safe in their home city and in their homes and i don't think it would be a bad thing too much the national guard come to chicago and fix it. >> so, lola, we've heard this idea before during similar crises but it never really comes to fruition. so why would it be different this time? >> i don't know if the national guard is necessity moment. i agree with the rest of the panelists. it's reached epidemic proportions in chicago and something needs to be ton. but maybe bringing in state police officers, maybe making more of an aggressive hiring campaign and heavily policing the neighborhoods where this crime is actually happening would be the way before i would call in the national guard. that said, the chicago citizens should feel safe walking the streets an

we've reached out to the local air national guard in mississippi.is just yet. we know the faa is monitoring this. they're the authority that essentially controls the radar stations that would be able to track this airplane and figure out exactly where it is. but the faa doesn't have any sort of ability to intercept an airplane. that would be more or less up to the military or some military apparatus, some extension of it, whether it be the air guard or the air force. so we'll have to see. it is usually the last resort in something like this. so if police are in communication with this pilot, they're likely trying to talk him down and get him back on the ground without hurting himself or herself or anybody on the ground as well. so we'll see as this plays out, amara. >> we certainly hope the resolution is a peaceful one. pete, just for the sake of clarity, when we first got information about this, officials had told us that the pilot called 911 at about 5:00 a.m. local time. it sounds like you're getting updated information. just to have an idea of h
