(gasps)... now. upgrade your phone. upgrade your network. >>> the cold, hard truth is that what happened on january 6th can happen again. i fear, like many of you do, that the violence we saw on that terrible day may be just the beginning. senators, this cannot be the beginning. it can't be the new normal. it has to be the end. >> hi again, everyone. it is 5:00 in the east. look around and there are signs everywhere that we as a country are barrelling towards what the congressman warned us all about during the president's second impeachment trial, the possibility of another insurrection. just this week we got a stark reminder that domestic violent extremism is the greatest threat to the homeland. we told you how federal pros

we're back with eugene daniels and clint watts. eugene daniels, i've asked you this.overs that building and walks around and could bump into mr. gosar, but have you ever detected any shame from his close association with white supremacists? >> no. he tends to play coy. when we find out that he's been invited to speak at a dinner or fund-raiser or that he did that, which he did earlier this year where fuentes was here and he was the headline of that event, he plays coy. what he said is i have no idea what's going on when he was asked by reporters in the capitol. but he also tweeted out seemingly defending whatever fund-raiser that might have been saying that he wasn't sure why everyone was freaking out. the reason everyone is freaking out is because of the racism and the white supremacy that is spread at these events and by fuentes. and i think what's really interesting is you're not hearing on the right and in republican leadership kind of any pushback against gosar. we heard that about marjorie taylor greene, you heard that for lauren boebert at times but nothing abo

for the "new york times," frank the former assistant director for fbi counter intelligence and clint watts is a former fbi special agent. pete developing news that i know is coming in to us this morning and it relates to former trump administration officials now apparently being able to testify to the justice department in the separate and concurrent investigation. why is this significant? >> well, katie was the first to report this, candidly, but we confirmed the justice department sent letters. my understanding is as people are asked to testify, former administration officials asked the justice department what the position is, and the government has been sending them letters saying yes, you can testify. but i would defer to her on that question. >> let's defer to her then. >> talk about where the investigation is parallel investigation is going. >> absolutely, there are parallel investigations, house oversight committee, senate judiciary looking into the final days of the trump administration, what was going on with trump officials that led to the january 6th insurrection and what's happ

and these images really remind us of how violent that assault was on january 6. >> clint watts, someent officials themselves. people like officer fanone. let me show you something he said on another network earlier today. >> will you testify? is that something that you would welcome the opportunity to have? >> oh, yeah, i'm looking forward to it. >> what would you say? >> i mean i would tell the truth. talk about my experiences that day. how brutal it was. you know, what i saw firsthand. >> are you worried that there could be another attack? >> i think as long as our political leaders continue to perpetuate lies, lies that fueled the january 6 insurrection and then lies regarding the january 6th insurrection, there's always that possibility. >> i mean, clint, what officer fanone describes happened today, the twice impeached ex-president told lies about the january 6 insurrection at some sort of press conference at his golf course. that is happening. and if that is in the view of law enforcement the cause and the effect is ongoing danger, where are we? >> yeah, nicolle, it's going to

clint watts is back, former consultant to the fbi counterterrorism division. dr.rning about covid, you have been explaining to us nondoctors how this virus would surge through our country and our comments, but you have also been warning from the very, very beginning about the dangers of disinformation, especially once there was an abundance of vaccine supply. what do we do now? >> that's right, nicolle. it is very sad. i have been a vaccine scientist for almost 40 years and have been fighting anti-vaccine aggression for about 20 years or 23 years, and now it has accelerated. the game changer is over the last year or the last few years, the anti-vaccine movement has adopted this political component to it, that somehow -- that being part of the extreme right or the far right requires you to wage a war of aggression against science and scientists. we have seen this at the cpac conference over the last few weeks. we have seen their claim that vaccines are nothing more than a political instrument of control or they're going to take away -- or use it to take away our gu

clint watts, denver riggleman, we're grateful to you. >>> when we return, the far right's fight againstous new turn as republicans in tennessee stop adolescent vaccine outreach not just for covid vaccines but all vaccines. the right-wing war against science and the american lives that will be lost as a result is next. >>> plus, possible signs of daylight between long-time trump money man allen weisselberg and the trump org he served for decades. we'll talk about what that could mean for the investigation and the chances that weisselberg could flip. >>> and we'll tell you about president biden's newest efforts to confront a growing list of hot spots around the world.

playbook coauthor eugene daniels and former fbi special agent and msnbc national security analyst clint watt. it is great to have the three of you with us. leigh ann, we have heard the new attack line of pelosi republican, and also about the phone call when he heard that she was going to nix two of his picks, and help us unpack this. >> it is not a traditional committee, and you have two republicans on the committee of course, representative adam ken zinger and liz cheney who are like-minded on the claim that the false claims that the election was stolen or that he did not lose the election, and so this is one that is not commonly seen up here on capitol hill. that group of nine members just broke up from a preparation meeting ahead of tomorrow's first committee hearing regarding the capitol police officers and the rank and file d.c. metropolitan police officers. and our colleague haley talbot caught up with adam kinzinger, and he said that leader mccarthy can say whatever he wants to say, and that the remarks are childish, and he is honored to serve. so this is interesting spectacle as far

." >> we're going to start off our coverage with lanne caldwell, pete williams and clint watt. leanne you were in the room for much of the hearing today as we listened to these officers recount their harrowing and heroic stories from that day and also their full-throated emotional indictments of people who try to deny and rewrite what happened on january 6th. i was struck by the degree to which the committee was spike speaking with one voice today since house republican leader kevin mccarthy boycotted it and pulled his members. what were your impressions? >> reporter: inside the room it was serious, somber, sad and really silent except for the person that was speaking. all of the attention was directly focused on whoever was speaking, whichever officer. at one point, officer fanone got up and whispered and touched officer gonell's shoulder and squeezed it as a moment of solidarity. so there were some very poignant moments between these officers who had a shared experience that day and a shared experience that they came to share with the country. this is the first time that we h

clint watts and a.b.e this afternoon thomas barack has been arrested on foreign lobbying charges. that's next. >>> plus, house republican leader kevin mccarthy makes his pick for those investigating the insurrection, and three of the five members of congress he picked voted to overturn joe biden's election victory. what could go wrong? >>> and is the ohio special election a proxy battle for progressives and main line democrats or a local race between those with big pockets since it is the only federal race going on right now?

. >> what should the hell to pay be, clint watts?they need to go after the russian criminal underground and target that first. i think that's probably where their strategy will rest. essentially, the debate has always been about cyber sovereigty. you know, we always talk about national sovereigty, but we also say, okay, the infrastructure, all of that essentially is part, the cyber infrastructure is part of that country as well. so going into russian networks to go after those russian cyber criminal syndicates i think probably is the next step should one of the large shutdowns occur. the problem with all of this that we should note though is much of the infrastructure that they use, much of the internet that they use to conduct attacks against america doesn't always reside inside russia. it could rely on third country essentially infrastructure. it is difficult to plan it off and the thing that complicates it is the ripple effects. we just don't know what the ripple effects are oftentimes. this started back with stucks net attack, if

. >> and we're going to be talking more about this with clint watts in the next hour. i think the big question here, josh, is america doing enough, is the president doing enough. josh letterman for us in wilmington. thank you. great to see you this afternoon, josh. >>> still ahead, everybody, a new interview with the most famous candidate in the california recall race, but record heat radiating across the west with no relief in sight. why these waves of extreme weather could be the new normal for this entire country including where you live right now. >>> plus, covid confusion. an announcement about a vaccine booster shot sets off a standoff between pfizer and the biden administration that has millions of americans asking a lot of questions. we are going to have some answers with dr. kavita patel just ahead. or floss can be a sign of early gum damage. new parodontax active gum repair kills plaque bacteria at the gum line to help keep the gum seal tight. new parodontax active gum repair toothpaste. you're clearly someone who takes care of yourself. so why wait to screen

let's bring in nbc's washington investigative reporter and clint watts, former consultant to the fbi msnbc national security analyst. scott, you've been following all of these capitol defendants. unpack that. they had an invitation from trump that gave them what they thought was a right to an insurrection? >> he doesn't think he commit add crime though he acknowledges he laid hands on police and he keeps saying it's because the president sent him there, sent the crowd there, they were following the president's direction, according to our interview. something else is underscored in this interview. while we saw a series of case goes to plea agreement this week, even a sentencing this week, some closure. in other cases like landon copeland's, these cases are stuck in the mud. copeland is still in pretrial detention in utah. he hasn't had a chance to enter a guilty or not guilty plea. he was supposed to appear in court today but they cited a scheduling conflict and postponed it further. there are a lot of defendants in pretrial detention trying to get out, trying to get plea agreements.

also with us, former fbi special agent and msnbc contributor clint watts. >> max, thank you so much forg an article that stuck out to me that seemed to be different. you've heard the story of somebody on facebook that will post something about their favorite band and will get 12 likes. then they learn if they post disinformation, say crazy things, they'll get about 2,000 likes. we all understand that incentive. we understand the incentive of politicians even if we disagree with it, sowing disinformation during political campaigns about the party. what i don't understand is who is paying for disinformation about vaccines when we're, my god, in between presidential elections? what's the purpose of this? who is benefiting from this sort of disinformation for hire? >> so in this particular case, it looks like the benefits is the maker of russia's coronavirus vaccine, but it's also possible there were some other crime inherent in this work. that's what's scary, is we can guess who seems to benefit from it. really, anyone with 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 bucks and a dark web account can have their
