this week, the fbi and the department of homeland security of up to her annual report analyzing domesticor threats in the u.s.. they took all the domestic terrorism cases. they investigated in 2021 and broke down by motivation. so, racially motivated extremism, anti government extremism, animal rights related extremism, abortion related extremism, and other. for years, the most common type of domestic terrorist attack has been racially motivated. but in the calendar year of 2021, dhs and the fbi investigated more anti government extremist cases than anything else. that is not because last year america suddenly got less racist. it is because we had one giant domestic extremist events on january 6th of last year, in which hundreds of people with anti government extremist views attacked our nation's capital capitol. in other words, january 6th with such a massive assault on our democracy that it skewed our country's domestic terrorism statistics. but rather than disavowing what his followers did that day, president trump, the person most responsible for spreading the lies that brought us pe

here's the thing that throws me, which is, the department of homeland security usually puts out a jointassessment for any major event, the fourth of july, any -- things as benign as the kentucky derby. why did they not, with all of the intel that was coming in, point out a joint threat assessment when even the capitol police assessment, which was dead on, said violent members of militia groups, white supremacists, carrying weapons with congresses as the target, will be coming in large numbers. that seemed like the kind of thing a joint assessment put together by homeland security and the fbi with both of their seals on it that went to everybody would have given a common operational picture. that never happened. it could be because the secretary of dhs, who was acting at the time, was a presidential appointee who was maybe reluctant to create a document that said the president's supporters could upset the process of democracy. >> okay. all fascinating there. john miller, good to see you. thank you so much. >> thanks. >>> russia, launches a series of attacks against ukraine over the last

i would expect that the department of homeland security and the fbi are watching the same sort of online conversations very closely. these are publicly available, they're not -- this is open source material that law enforcement can look at. they need to be taking advantage of that open source intelligence to understand the threat environment that they're dealing with. >> and law enforcement successfully thwarted any sort of external outside foreign state actors from interfering in the 2020 election as we saw russia do in 2016. are you concerned at all about the scale of bandwidth perhaps that officials now have in making sure that we don't see a repeat of foreign actor interference, while also grappling now with the threat domestically? >> there's no question that the threat of foreign actors trying to meddle in our democratic systems goes on. this was not a one and done shot. and there are several foreign adversaries that are interested in not just influencing the results of our democratic process but simply sowing chaos and disunion here in the united states. so that threat persists. a
