i know barry loudermilk personally. i know scott perry personally. when i served as a staffer, i worked with them in fact very regularly. and at best i think that congressman loudermilk is being taken for a ride by the people he gave a tour to. at worst, potentially knows something he should share with the committee. i would urge him to be immensely skeptical about what happened here, evidence of just about anyone this constituent wasn't there for an innocent purpose to go see the train. this constituent was articulating a potentially violent threat against elect officials. that's serious. they should take it seriously. congressman loudermilk shouldn't wait for the committee to come to him and ask questions. she should be afirmtively going and sharing all the information he has with the committee. the fact that they released this video shows that the bipartisan select committee is taking this extremely seriously and that also means the justice department is taking this seriously, so the congressman should as well. >> you know, melissa, if you are givi

on security video taking pictures of a security checkpoint than what is interesting is that barry loudermilk a month ago was asked about this trip. and he said he didn't take any group of any of his constituents through the house, but no, this video has been found and the 6th of january committee desperately want to speak to barry loudermilk about it. now he says that they've gone to the media before they came to him. the committee says no, hold on a 2nd. some of the behavior raises concerns and we need to ask questions not least, because one of the men in the video was seen in capitol hill, not just on it, but in the building. on the 6th of january, there's no suggestion that he did anything wrong, but the certainly want to track him down. jim's loaded assario bellotta milk says he doesn't know the constituents. he gets lots of people coming through the building. but this is obviously clearly a concern for the 6th of january committee that this whole incident on the 6th of january was planned. and some of these tours and the suggestions that loderman wasn't the only republican congressman w

it shows georgia republican barry loudermilk giving a tour of the capitol the day before the attack.deo also shows one man on the tour taking pictures of hallways, tunnels and security checkpoints later on video show that's a man at that capitol on january 6th, the making threats against democrats, including house speaker nancy pelosi. the committee's next hearing is set for tomorrow. if you're worried about the future of democracy in the u.s., this will not help. but new. >> yahoo. news you gov. poll finds that almost half of americans thank u.s. may not be a democracy in the future. and more than 1500 adults were surveyed and you're 55% of democrats and 53% of republicans who are saying they think the u.s. will likely fail to remain a democracy. one day at in independence and people who say they do not identify with a political party and you have total 49% of everyone surveyed believing the same sobering thing and the highlight our increasingly polarized political climate, a majority of people surveyed say they would describe people in the opposite party has, quote, out of touch wi

so again, melissa, this is slightly new and then there's a site problem for, for barry loudermilk in the a month ago when he says he saw his picture, he said he never led any group that on a tour of the capitol. but the video assures that he did, there was 12 constituents which later became 15 constituents. and they got a tour of the capitol building no captured on surveillance video as one man who seems to be taking pictures of stairwells and also where the little train goes that connects some of the buildings in the capitol hill complex. now you can suggest that that is suspicious that he was to use a phrase that has been used in washington over the last month, casing the place or he was just a tourist that was moving around and, and seeing interesting things at what complicates it is that this man was then seen making his way on to capitol hill or on the day of the riot. no, there's no suggestion by the committee or any one else for this man did anything wrong and that he is facing any sort of criminal charges. but what the january 6th committee is trying to establish is that trip

. >> reporter: the committee says he was part of a tour group led by georgia republican barry loudermilk taking pictures of security checkpoints. the congressman denied any wrongdoing. >> i'm totally opposed and i condemn that kind of language. but no one in that group showed that type of aggression that day. i mean, they were just-- they were just here visiting. >> reporter: cbs news reached a member of the congressman's visiting group, who also said it was not a reconnaissance mission, but the committee said the group stayed for several hours on a day the complex was closed to the public, and photographed and recorded areas of the complex not typically of interest to tourists. pennsylvania democrat brandon boyle says this photo is a spot he's never seen photographed before and was near a sensitive area. >> that specific stairwell was not too far away from where a large concentration of members were taken that afternoon while the insurrection was still going on in the capitol. >> reporter: with the committee focused on this video, congressman loudermilk points to a report earlier this w

it says the same magnet turned during the insurrection. congressmen barry loudermilk denies any wrong doing, adding that he's been vindicated by police. these are folks who had never been in washington dc and there they were here to visit their congressman. why not to speak to the committee? and just because the committees never called me and asked me anything, they said a letter corporation, they never sent it to me. your office never know, never, never received a letter, never received a phone call. never received an email. they sent to you guys. i found out about it all my way to the airport a month ago. so when i get on the plane, i see my picture on tv screens. all the plane is some kind of evil conspirator. that tells me they're not interested in the tree for only interested in creating a narrative for you guys. but bruce fine served as a us associate deputy attorney general. he gave us his take on laudermill, not appearing before the committee. it seems suspicious that you need a subpoena for a member of congress to want to volunteer everything he knew that was arguably relevan
