i saw you and our friend jonathan greenblatt and others at the white house, taking it really seriouslying the alarm on the threat of these terrorist acts that are based on peoples race and religion, their ethnic identity, their sexual orientation. they are busy, they are organizing, and we've got to stand against them. in minnesota, i remember when trump was talking about using anti asian language. we saw a rise in not just hate crimes, but also harassment. not just criminal conduct, but also threatening -- based on their asian background. and of course, in minnesota, we have a terrorist attack on a mosque that took place during the trump administration. he never said a single word about it. three people drove all the way up from illinois to bomb a mosque, and we got nothing from the president. those people who were convicted, and that's a good thing. but the bottom line is, we are in the middle of a real serious challenge. if i may say so, though, i think prosecutors like myself and police and fbi folks, they can investigate these things and prosecute them. at the end of the day, we a

for more on the new report, ceo and national director of the anti-defamation league jonathan greenblatt joining us. take us through the report and what were more of the troubling aspects that you have found? >> sure, thanks for having me, willie. i will tell you, this is a chilling reports the leaks of which we've never released before. last september, 80 analysts were able to get our hands on a data leak of the oath keepers' membership rolls. there were 38,000 names that were essentially pulled from their records and put out in the open. our analysts pulled out the information for the oath keepers to pull it back. we used open source techniques, including public records, social media. and other methods to review every single name that we found. and i must say, we thought the oath keepers were a threat, when they rampaged through the capitol on january 6th. but we had no idea just how deep the threat truly is. we found hundreds of active law enforcement members were a part of the oath keepers. ten chiefs of police. 11 sheriffs. dozens and dozens of active members of the u.s. military. s

i think that's what we're trying to spark today. >> david holt and jonathan greenblatt, thank you veryr president biden. according to the latest associated press norc center poll, 45% of americans approve of the president's job performance. that's up 9% from july. that's a massive bump in that poll. jonathan lemire, he's still under water but given the rising gas prices, inflation that made for a brutal summer for this president, with the passage of some legislation, with gas prices coming down, it appears if you look inside these numbers, many democrats are energized and coming back home to this president. >> white house aide just texted me a dark brandon rises meme. you could say the west wing is pleased with these numbers. they sort of saw this coming. without question, the president is on a winning streak here that started mid summer when they passed a bunch of legislation, the chips act, the pact act, on guns, capping off with both a strike that killed the leader of al qaeda and then the huge democratic bill that they celebrated earlier this week meant to bring down inflation. it'

>> first, i salute jonathan greenblatt and the adl on tracking domestic based violent extremism's, they'vereally upfront about this. we should be very alarmed, frankly, to see radicalized, marginalized groups and points of view being embraced by more mainstream politicians. it makes unacceptable behavior become more acceptable. and in my judgment, i have been saying this for a long time, the rhetoric, coming from violent extremist groups, which more and more is being embraced by politicians, makes among the deranged few among us, violence inevitable. we have to be responsible, our leadership, the ability of our leaders to command a microphone, who have a public voice. there needs to be more responsible rhetoric. and if we go down this road, more and more people embracing groups like the oath keepers, we are putting this nation in a very bad place. >> former secretary of homeland security, jeh johnson. thank you very much for coming back to the sunday show. >> thank you. >> queen elizabeth's coffin is due to arrive shortly at the palace of holyroodhouse in edinburgh. we will discuss her leg

funeral as much ass -- funeral services for the ten blacks killed in buffalo, i reached out to jonathan greenblatt bring everybody together to show the attacks on asians, lgbtq, jews with the synagogue in pittsburgh and southern california, what's happening with blacks in buffalo, and with latinos and he and i reached out to the head of lulack, at the asian group, and we wrote a letter to the white house saying we need to have a summit on race. and to his credit, president biden got ambassador susan rice, who has an impeccable staff, and they put together the first full day summit during his administration at the white house, all day we were there. the attorney general came and announced a new initiative against hate with funds and how they would deal with it. the head of homeland security did the same thing. the vice president opening up. the president was introduced by sandra bro, the mother of a man killed in hyattsville. he really went after the hate in the country. not just a feel good, let's denounce hate. congress needs to give me the power to do this but we already are in the justice depar
