>> juan: basically what they're saying is they are the real israelites.ere real people who are the chosen ones, not jewish people. they have all sorts of elaborate mythology, ideology religious theory that puts them at the center of the universe. they do say hateful things and they can be threatening. but what you heard here initially was that the native american elder said there are only four of the israelites and there was a big group of kids in the maga hats and all the rest. the israelites were saying the offensive things and then the kids were starting to come back and screaming at them. >> greg: i just saw them laughing. >> juan: chanting or whatever the high school chant was. >> greg: they never said "build a wall," or whatever. >> juan: i don't know about that. he told reporters he intervened to stop the high school kids from attacking what he described as these four black eyes. then we see subsequently maybe not the case. what strikes me is that both the roman catholic high school and the diocese both initially apologized based on what we first s

the black israelites were just five of them. the law center calls them militant.he last 25 years have called them loony and kind of crazy. they're the kind of people i steer away from because of the racism and homophobia they direct -- they have directed at me. so if you're in from out of town and you're at the lincoln memorial and you've got these guys who are hurling racist homophobic anticatholic sentiment at you and it's not right, why on earth are you not taking these teenagers and moving them out of the way, moving them up the steps of the lincoln memorial which is a great view of the mall and a great view of a great president, or move off to the side where the buses will be waiting, which is very far away from where the black hebrew israelites were. but none of that happened. and so i want to know from the chaperones who were with those teenagers, where were they and why did they not remove them from a situation? thank goodness didn't escalate into something more tragic. >> well, there are a lot of questions that are yet to be fully answered. and i'm not sa

the black israelites, the nuts that were screaming at the monument, at the lincoln memorial, they wereg some harsh things but some of it was true, too, the young white american kids were being taught in their catholic schools their doctrine, their truth. when they found out there's more truth out there than what they're being taught they were offended, insulted, scared and that's how they responded. the seeing thing contempt for the catholic faith as expressed by him, he's sins kind of cleaned up his rhetoric but what do you think about that? >> well it wasn't the white kids who called the indians savages, it was the black thugs. yet this guy didn't go after the blacks, did he? no, he went after the catholic church. he tried to storm the church. that's what the nazis did in germany. they went into the synagogues to disrupt the services, go if you try to disrupt the religious service it's against the law in washington, d.c., it's also a hate crime. there were three groups here, only one was not involved in anything racist and that was the white kids. the indians were there taunting the

like maybe the blame was on a group that didn't mention first time, a small group of black hebrew israelitesdness as robert mueller's team came out for a bus feed report, that president trump told michael cohen to lie to congress. political commentator ashley pratte and beverly halberg as well. ashley, these are two back-to-back issues shows some people call trump derangement syndrome. a certain amount of animosity and anger out there, that creates these knee-jerk reactions, before people would take a breath and find out the facts? >> yeah. i'm not sure i would go that far but i will address two things here. one, the buzzfeed piece, buzzfeed is still standing behind their reporting. what is interesting about all of this, mueller's office which is always very quiet did come out and say something, which is huge. now what that could potentially mean i think while they're saying some of the reporting there wasn't accurate, they didn't flat-out deny the entire reporting. so i do think maybe something could be cooking on mueller side why they had to come out to make a statement. that is my conject

phillips accused the students of initiating taunts against the black hebrew israelites that we have on tape saying all those things. we now know that's not true. despite the story being exposed, that's not stopping mr. phillips. just hours after his now infamous encounter with the covington students, he led a group of protesters through the steps of a washington, d.c., cathedral, where according to multirole reports, a new video tonight, phillips attempted to disrupt mass before halted by security. that sound like someone who wants to unify, bridge differences? that is what he claimed. now remember, fake news has real consequences. richard jewel, duke lacrosse, uva, ferguson, missouri, justice kavanaugh, cambridge police. you know what? rushing to judgment is dangerous. it ruins people's lives. covington was forced to close its doors amid a wave of death threats. that was earlier today. a bomb threat today. the student at the center of this attack talked to nbc's savannah guthrie to reflect on all the hate. take a look. >> they started shouting a bunch of homophobic, racist, derogatory

the students had gathered to listen to a group that called itself "the black hebrew israelites." i've never heard of them before. they traversed times square, the routine is pretty predictable. the use of racially charged rhetoric in an attempt to provoke reactions, and then they capture it all nvidia. and this is what they were doing to the covington high school students. >> you [bleep]! a bunch of child molesting [bleep]! >> look at these dirty crackers. >> that's right. a bunch of babies made out of incest! >> laura: well, contrary to the early reporting, it became clear that the students didn't confront anyone. all they did was stand their ground. as they were being verbally assaulted. now why wasn't that the focus of the media story? imagine if a couple of white pastors started yelling racial epithets add black students on mlk day? do you think that would be a story? you bet it would be, and it should be, but let's face it, this is different because the covington students had marched for the unborn, and they were daring to show up wearing a red maga hats in d.c., so they wer

roughly half an hour later, the young black israelites turned their attention to the white students.orter: later identified as covington catholic students from kentucky. for more than an hour, the black hebrews continued to hurl insults at both groups. >> bunch of incest babies. this is what make america great looks like. >> reporter: the atmosphere intensifies when a young man rips off his shirt and leads his group in a battle cry often meant to intimidate. meanwhile, nathan phillips, an indigenous activist overhears the commotion and decides to take action. >> came to a point where somebody had to do something. came to me that elder, we got to do something. >> reporter: the omaha elder steps between the students and the black hebrews, beating his drum and singing a traditional song. >> it's a song of unity, a song of strength and courage. >> reporter: then nate phillips locks eyes with nick sandmann, a junior at covington, leading to that epic staredown. sandmann now speaking to nbc. >> do you see your own fault in any way? >> as far as standing there, i had every right to do so. i

this one shows a group known as the black hebrew israelite taunting the student: president trump weighed in on the controversy tuesday tweeting that the students had been treated unfairly and smeared by the media. twitter has suspended the account that posted the initial video and retweeted it hundreds of times calling the students a maga loser who was gleefully bothering a native american. cbs news the account had 40,000 followers and claimed to have belonged to a california school teacher that used the photo of a brazilian blogger. the school has since offered an apology for how their students behaved but chaperons with them say they did nothing wrong. nikole killion, cbs news, washington. >>> new legal trouble for singer chris brown. cbs's tina kraus reports he was just arrested in paris on suspicion of rape. >> reporter: singer chrisbrown was taken into custody in paris monday after a woman filed a rape complaint against him. the 29-year-old r&b star -- a 24-year-old woman says she met brown and his friends at this nightclub in paris last week and went back to brown's hotel suite whe
