to raise a lot of concerns on the right and it's something we've seen a lot of republicans in congress zero in on this notion this was driven by those confidential humandence that even those who entered the capitol were instructed to do anything by the fbi. that was something they did on their own. we already knew that one of the individuals who testified in the proud boys trial had entered into the capitol and hasn't been charged. none of the four individuals who are believed to have entered the capitol have been charged, nor have i believe it's 13 people who were on the restricted grounds of the capitol. neither were hundreds if not thousands of others who were on the restricted grounds that day so that's not unusual. >> clint, tell me your overall reaction to what you just learned from the report? >> the first part, this would be a vulnerability assessment. january 6th is coming up. there have been several instances of violence in d.c. after the election and before the inauguration. so that first part, it's a failure of intelligence aggregation and synthesis and providing it in a way that you can reenforce defenses and make sure you have proper def

congress failed to approve his most important legislative initiatives, and for many, he dealt with matters of foreign policy much more skillfully than he did domestic, he was firm in his commitment to human rights. >> no member of the united nations can play on the mistreatment of its citizens as solely his own business. >> from the soviet union, sending troops into afghanistan mccarter responded with punitive measures against the soviets including the trade embargo but one of his actions seemed to anger americans as much as it did the russians. >> i had given notice that the united states will not attend the moscow olympics. >> the major achievement of the carter presidency was the signing in september of 1978, carter brought israeli prime minister and egyptian president together for 11 days. the campaign served as the basis for a treaty signed by the presidents six months later in washington. jimmy carter faces his toughest test of all when americans were taken hostage in iran in november of 1979, this time neither his resolve nor the power of the american government was effective enough in gaining freedom for these hostages. carter's boldest effort, tragedy and the iranian desert. >> i cance

right now, i do not believe there were undercover agents on scene. >> hector was hiding something, so congress asked the question a different way. >> listen, did you have confidential human sources dressed as trump supporters inside the capitol on january 6th, prior to the doors being opened? >> again, i had to be very careful. >> it should be a no. can you not tell the american people? no. we did not have confidential human sources dressed as trump supporters positioned inside the capitol. >> the gentleman's time has expired. >> you should not read anything into my decision not to share information. >> a confidential gentleman's time. >> ray is right. the fbi didn't have undercover agents at january 6th. they had confidential human sources. so what's the difference? well, a confidential human source doesn't get health insurance or a pension. they're just freelancing for the feds. rats in maga hats. they're basically paid informants that the fbi runs out of headquarters. a lot of these fbi rats get picked up on some other charge. they get set down, and the fbi says you're going to work for me now. and if you don't, you're looking at 20 years to life. so these guys say ye
