that was the original antifa. the logos that you see today was based off of the design originally, so the original paramilitary of the german antifa were engaging in street fights in germany, not just against the brownshirts are or fascists but the social democrats beating up all political opponents. and they were creating this political climate of political polarization towards germany and making the public just wanting all of that political violence to end and i think some academics have helped pave the way for what you're saying is these people are not really antifascist they are pro- anarchy and chaos. >> yes. and i actually think a lot of them are upset trump is going out because it is used as an excuse to bring in new allies but they carefully have switched the enemy from trump to law enforcement and they've been successful bringing people up there. all that takes is a very simple video of some unfortunate incident that is taken out of context to mobilize tens of thousands not just in my country but your cou

he is scared of this fictitious idea of antifa. a thing that doesn't exist. >> antifa does exist. league said both dangerous and counterproductive organization. what separates antifa is their willingness to use violence. >> harris: power panel is back now. leslie marshall and jason. your top line thoughts, jason. >> i don't know where joy behar was over the summer for 100 days when a very well funded and well orchestrated and well organized domestic terrorist organization burned american cities to the ground. i don't know where joy behar was four days ago when a federal courthouse in portland was burned or lit on fire while they were people inside. to say that this is an idea or a concept is ludicrous and extremely dangerous. i think the problem is we have a sitting president and vice president that over the campaign trail called them peaceful protestors and some instances said something like the sort that joy said and they think it is okay to say these things. the problem is they think antifa is targeting the right and republicans. antifa is not targeting conservatives and republ

i think it says more about them than it does about antifa. mr. brennan, you know, today mr. wray, christopher wray likened this domestic terrorist threat to isis. i wonder if from your experience, they're more like al qaeda because in the case of al qaeda, they are embedded in and have the support of the government. that was part of the reason we wound up in afghanistan. they're being shielded by the government in afghanistan. in this case, even some of the people in the hearings want to defend fundamentally the people who committed the attack on our country because they view them as part of their base. they need their votes. and so they don't want to harm them. they don't want to end their power. i don't know how you can investigate something that one of our two major political parties sees as part of their base. >> i agree, joy. and one of the most disturbing things that christopher wray said today was the tremendous surge in the number of investigations, over 2,000. tremendous surge since he came into office in 2017. i think it just shows how pervasive this problem is. an

it wasn't antifa. there was no evidence it was antifa. it wasn't anarchists. was it people wearing disguises? he left those senators, based on all of the fbi's evidence, with the inescapable conclusion that those were trump supporters turned trump terrorists who committed an insurrection against the united states of america. >> you think this is going to stop ron johnson from repeating the lie? i mean, you are talking about a republican senate that has embraced the biggest lie of all, that the election was somehow stolen. so it follows on kind of comfortably for them to try to get around the notion that this somehow wasn't trump supporters, that were domestic terrorists inside our nation's capitol. brian williams coined a name for him the other night, joe, which i think is great where is ronanon johnson. he is gonna -- he is gonna continue to do that. i also thought it was interesting yesterday that ted cruz and josh hawley tried to somehow imply that the fbi shouldn't be employing subpoenas and gathering of metta data in order to pin down these domestic terro

there were no antifa protesters who went in and yelled, hang mike pence.ere no protesters on any side other than donald trump's side who carried out an insurrection against the capitol and who threatened the lives of mike pence and everybody who works there. so, i wonder how the committee functions with people who can't assert and call out and probe the president's role in furthering that lie. what wray described as domestic terrorism, the president in realtime said, i love you and said, quote, this is what happens when you deny the results of an election. he taunted congress for doing what they were doing and that was the same behavior that wray described as a domestic terror attack. >> yeah, i mean, look, it's startling, just the pictures, nicole, that you showed in the beginning of the story. i mean, the number of trump flags and trump banners hoisted over the side of the capitol to show exactly who the rioters are, it's pretty crystal clear. i mean, it's -- they were literally wearing it on their sleeves and wearing it on their flags. i think the signi

wray was crystal clear that antifa was not behind this riot. that was a huge rebuke to those republicans. >> that is one thing he was clear on. he wasn't clear on what happened to the intelligence. he wasn't clear on why people didn't connect the dots, but he was clear that of the people they have looked into and the people they know about, that did the insurrection, that it wasn't the sort of fake trump people. that they were -- that he knows some of them were white supremacists. he said he puts them in different buckets and the insurrectionists were the insurrectionists. they are who we think they are, and nobody else. and so there were some republicans up there who were trying to kind of change the subject, talking about what happened in portland, maybe it was antifa, maybe it was the same group. and wray was crystal clear about that. he said we have not seen any evidence of anarchist, violent extremists or people subscribing to antifa in connection to the 6th, period. >> lindsey graham was asking questions about whether foreign intelligence

what the wisconsin lawmaker said he would have felt if it had been black lives matter protesters or antifa marching to the capitol that day. >>> and "america strong." the extraordinary high school wrestler. he lost his sight, beat cancer, but not letting anything stand in his way. >>> good evening. thanks for joining us on this saturday. i'm whit johnson. as we come on the air tonight, growing concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. with more states easing restrictions and spring break now in full swing, thousands flocking to florida, many in the crowds without masks. 24 states now rolling back restrictions, including california. the state allowing the re-opening of many businesses, including bars and restaurants at reduced capacity. and a new milestone -- more than 100 million shots administered here in the u.s. a 40% increase in vaccinations from just a month ago. the country racing to hit president biden's deadline that all american adults be eligible for a vaccine by may 1st. but experts warning the country may be opening up too soon. abc's will carr leads us off from southern califor

it wasn't antifa, there were white supremacists., tucker carlson, who were part of the crowd there. and he even had to say at this hearing, no, there wasn't the widespread election fraud. this wasn't a fake election, which the former president just told 7 million viewers on sunday. listen to this. >> to be crystal clear on this, as fbi director, these would be federal crimes, you're aware of no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, correct? >> we are not aware of any widespread evidence of voter fraud, much less that would have affected the outcome in the former election. >> the former president told his 7 million viewers on sunday that he won the election, repeatedly. and the fbi director, under sworn -- under oath right there, sworn testimony, has to say, no, this is just not true. it's a lie. yet those members, republican members of congress continue to enable this kind of speech. >> yeah, i mean, by clearly not pushing back more forcefully, it continues. and you know, trump didn't just say this on

it wouldn't have been antifa. antifa stands for anti-fascist.uldn't show up at the capitol trying to stop a democratic process. the anti-fascists would not be for that. it doesn't make any sense. and i think that, you know, the reason we are so upset about folks like hawley and cruz. they are educated, went to ivy league schools and they are supposed to know better. when you are lying and you know you're lying, it becomes a bigger problem than simply hypocrisy and the result is that they are undermining our democracy. >> i thought, adam, again, i continue to be astounded there has never been any kind of explanation offered, no apologies, no nothing for, again, what was, and you are someone who spends a lot of time reading history as i do, there is no precedent for what they tried to pull off on january 6th, this mass, you know, this sort of massive resistance to crowning the, you know, to passing power. here is josh hawley at cpac using it to get applause. take a listen. >> you know, on january 6th i objected during the electoral college certifi

trump-supporting republicans, who have been trying to push this lie that it was actually members of antifa dressed up, disguised as trump supporters who are really to blame for the attack. for instance, republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin, who used the accounts of an alleged eyewitness to make these wild allegations just last week. >> a very few didn't share the jovial, friendly earnest demeanor of the great majority. some obviously didn't fit in. and he describes four different types of people. plain clothes militants. agents provocateurs, fake trump protesters and disciplined uniform column, the people who probably planned this. >> director wray today essentially said senator jo johnson, you're wrong. wray was pressed on when he knew about threats to the capitol and how and when that information was shared with the relevant police, as cnn's jessica schneider now reports. >> reporter: in his first congressional testimony since the attack on the capitol, christopher wray, appointed by president trump, put a dagger into some of the theories about what happened that day. >> has there

and to the dhs secretary: some democratic lawmakers dismissed antifa as a myth. former attorney general bill barr said peaceful protestors don't slow explosives into courthouses or launch fecal matter at federal officers. right on cue left wing extremists were back this weekend in oregon's capitol of salem. 200 antifa members confronted a right wing freedom rally. the group, many trump supporters, stayed in their trucks. so antifa went after vehicles and the drivers with rocks, paints and tree limb. one right wing protestors pulled a weapon. watch. >> [shouting]. >> put the gun down right now. on the ground! >> the man with the gun was not arrested but 3 antifa members were including two men who are regulars at left wing gatherings especially the riots and violence in portland. >> shannon: trace gallagher, thank you very much. republican senator ted cruz released these shocking images of children packed into a migrant center in texas. journalists are still locked out of facilities and an administration staffer tried to block him from taking video to share the tru

. >> let's stop pretending that the threat of antifa is equivalent to the white supremacist threat. vandalizing is a crime, but it is not equivalent to a violent attempt to overturn the results of elections. we need to be abundantly clear that the white supremacist and other extreme mitts are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the united states today. >> laura: really? what is his justification for saying that? the fbi director didn't write off antifa so glibly as he did. >> and when it comes to anarchist violent extremists which is another category you asked about, that number has also grown over the course of my 10-year period last year i think we had more arrests of anarchist violent extremists than in the prior three years combined. >> laura: translation, antifa is real and dangerous and by his account, it is growing. but that is nowhere near as dangerous as the government that is run by the experts and for the elites. a government that treat citizens as foreigners and foreigners as citizens. and a government where the man who sits behind the big desk is incap

and those people, they are resting them by the dozens, but they don't go after antifa, who kill people way. who burn down our cities. look at what they did to seattle. they took over a big partial of land in seattle, a big portion of the city, and had i not got in the national guard ready to go in, we were going in the following morning. they just gave up the land. the same thing in minnesota, in minneapolis, they took over the city. had we not gotten the nationalin guard in there, you would not have minneapolis anymore. it would have been burned down to the ground. >> laura: are you concerned -- >> mr. trump: those are the ones you have to worry about. >> laura: are you concerned that the u.s. capitol after january 6th has become a fortress? protecting the capitol from the people who are supposed to -- actually be the ones in charge here, not the people who are sitting in the capitol and surrounding themselves by razor wire. >> mr. trump: i think it is disgraceful. it looks for the world to watch, absolutely, the political maneuver they are doing.fu it was zero threat, right from the

. >> it had to be antifa.robably some undercover antifa that dressed as trump people. >> likely not all trump supporters. >> i think a lot of it is antifa folks. >> the fbi said it wasn't antifa. people who stormed the capitol themselves say it was not antifa. it was them. all of this is on video. do they think if they just say it enough it will be so? >> yes. who are you going to believe, kate, them or your lying eyes? i mean, this is the fundamental problem, though. this lie, we can track its growth in right wing media. from the day of the attack on talk radio via twitter echoed by congressmen -- the president president himself suggesting it to congressman mccarthy who had to shut it down. we know that is a lie. yet it persists because people can't confront the uncomfortable truth. why? because they're culpable. because at the end of the day there is nothing less conservative than a violent mob attacking the capitol. and that is what they wrought. >> you know, our trump supporters and talking to supporters o
