the suspect, identified as dennis marx, was killed. sheriff dwayne piper says it took eight officers to bring him down. >> he had body armor on. he was throwing tear gas grenaidz. he was throwing smoke grenaidz and pepper spray grenaidz. he also had a gas mask on. he came prepared to do this. >> reporter: and he may have been prepared to take hostages. >> he also had flex cuffs ready to apply to people. he had a water supply and all kind of ammunition on him. >> reporter: police say dennis marx was supposed to be in court today to face drug and weapons charges. police described marx as a member of the sovereign studies movement, an antigovernment group that the f.b.i. considers a top domestic terrorist threat. investigators believe marx's house may be booby trapped with explosives. police qrgdit quick action by the deputy who first confronted marx at the courthouse and recent training for a similar attack for stopping the assault. maurice, police believe by the type of explosives found in marx's s.u.v., he had been planning this attack

police have dealt with marx before. saying he's a known problem. they continue to investigate his home. dan and bianna? >> steve, thanks. >>> this is not the first time a so-called sovereign citizen has turned violent. the fbi has designated sovereigns as domestic terrorists. and as you know, i've covered this movement for many years. take a look. >> i'm a sovereign. i'm not a american citizen. >> reporter: they have disrupted courtrooms. >> the unit has shots fired. >> reporter: led police on high-speed chases. and even engaged in murderous shoot-outs with police. as you can see in this video of a 16-year-old emerging from his father's van with a rifle and killing two officers. there are an estimated 300,000 sovereign citizens in america. it's a decentralized leaderless movement, loosely built around an ideology, often spread on the internet, which argues that people who declare themselves sovereign, don't have to follow the laws the rest of us do. so, many sovereigns believe they don't have to get driver's licenses, pay taxes or honor their debts

his name is dennis marx. deadly explosives. >> joining me now, nick is right there near the scene. nick, what are you learning about the suspect, dennis marx? >> we got here a little while ago and this intersection has been blocked off. the scene is over my shoulder. police and sheriff's deputies are not letting anyone in. dennis marx was 48 years old. he had a court hearing earlier today where he was expected to enter a plea on a drug charge. he was facing a litany of drug and weapons charges. he had every intention of taking the courthouse over. he was armed with hefy ammunition and supplies. you mentioned the spike strips to keep first responders from being able to get to him. they believe he was prepared to take hostages had it not been for that deputy standing outside the courthouse doing his round and the swat team that was in the area that responded with within the first 30 seconds of the shooting. mr. marx may well have taken over that courthouse. >> as far as you know, the suspect acted alone? >> we

after a minute and a half shootout, police say deputies killed marx. police say marx was armed for a full frontal assault and was carrying plastic ties in case he made it inside. >> the officer was shot in the leg and he's still in the hospital. police are on the scene trying to figure out a motive in this case. >> pamela, stand by. nick valencia, our reporter is on the ground. what's the latest from where you are? >> reporter: wolf, right now we know that authorities, including the atf and georgia bureau of investigation are at dennis marx home but they are being very cou cautious because they have not yet entered because of what the suspect had on, body armor, flex cuffs, ammunition, police believe that he intended to take over the courthouse and we know according to police he has not lived there for at least ten days. it's booby-trapped with explosives with the intent of responding officers. so far, no motive has been uncovered. police say that dennis marx was familiar to him and they know who he was but they will not expand on how or why. >> are th

marx was a man unknown to us and tell he attacked the forsyth county courthouse.from what the police are saying, he's a self-described sovereign citizen, a subset within the patriot movement, people who believe the federal government has no right to impose its laws, it's tax laws and so on. i've not seen any of the documentation supporting the idea that he is a sovereign citizen. but certainly, yet some kind of political motive. he apparently intended to storm into the courthouse to take hostages. and from there we really don't know. he was killed. there's no real manifesto left behind to explain his actions. it does seem to be a part of his upsurge with -- this upsurge we're seeing by patriot groups or people on the radical right in general. there was another very similar case the day before. last thursday, in new brunswick, canada, of all places, where a canadian with very extreme ideas about gun ownership similar to the militias here in the united three actually murdered police officers before finally being captured there. is athink the movement least a bit on

[ laughter ] and i feel like, with jokes, especially. like, i make a jokes and there'll be a new outrage about it. and i feel like jokes should come with an instruction that says "if you like the joke, laugh. if you don't like the joke, don't laugh." [ cheers and applause ] >> seth: that seems like a pretty good -- pretty good

that these guys are terrorists can you imagine how outraged the media would be right now dennis marx had been a forty eight year old brown muslim guy. called news to be calling for heads to roll of the las vegas shooters had been a muslim couple and news coverage would have been wall to wall or frazier glenn miller had screamed out our akbar instead of heil hitler. instead you have conservative pundits like sean hannity running around arguably edin on right wing extremists we have richard mack the former sheriff of graham county arizona he made the comment that he has sources inside the federal government warning that the weekend retreat was only a move to distract attention defuse tensions because a raid on the family's ranch is being planned couple that with harry reid's comments that this is not over you've got to believe that something is brewing here no he's saying it's not over and then you have a sheriff saying he has sources inside the government what would happen god forbid i mean we saw the raid for example back with aliant gonzales not sure if you remember that raid what w

bloomberg's willem marx looks into america's spending on american military and other countries in today'sbig question. -- "big question." >> across northern iraq, an islamist group has been seizing territory while the country's armed forces have terrorized -- have crumbled. the united states armed the same military that has been melting away. $23 taxpayers spent around billion on military assistance there. the iraqi taxpayers matched that own $25 billion from their funds. drop in the ocean compared to u.s. public-sector spending on the iraq war, which a recent study put at $1.7 trillion. there are several other major beneficiaries of u.s. military assistance. ofhanistan, where an average eight civilians were killed every day last year, has received $40 billion of military assistance since 9/11. $31 billion has flowed to israel in that same period. $300 million in u.s. military assistance in 2012, equivalent to a quarter of its own national defense budget that year. pakistan has taken nearly $7 trillion in assistance from the billion of assistance from the u.s. this is just a fraction of t

look, karl marx -- i don't like to quote him that often because he's a little discredited, but he may wrong about a lot of things, but he was right. what's good for capital is often bad for labor. take the readings on the job growth we got. paychex yesterday. adp today. both showed sub par hiring for the previous month. we know this isn't good news for the country. we want more people to do well. which usually means more wealth created and theoretically higher prices in the stock market. so we disbelieve the staying power of any stock rally. but is this a rational reaction? or an emotional one? you know what i'm beginning to think an emotional one. the more jobs to hire, it's plain bogus, here's why. most of the positive earnings surprises come from companies making more per each earnings of sales. it comes from beating the expectations. many companies have been beating expectations by firing. not hiring. >> house of pleasure. >> others are doing it by using technology better. still others are figuring out ways to pay smaller taxes. take walgreens. they jumped three bucks today. why?

. >> woodruff: marx how do you explain this huge criticism including from some people who were calling the president to get bergdahl back? >> i think that has to be at some point a political explanation to an awful lot of it, judy, especially those who were calling for every effort to be made to bring them back. in a strange way, this has become, in my judgment, a metaphor for the war itself, that it's a war that's unresolve, unlike the one that we're celebrating this day and whether a victory and a resolution and good triumphs and everybody comes home, this is a war that is remarkable to me that, while we've grown somewhat accepting of the fact of the terrible toll this has taken on america's troops, that they come home, the mental and physical wounds they carry with them, we ac my knowledge ptsd, and i just say, those in afghanistan, i'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until i have an idea. i don't know what happened there. the idea somehow this was an act of disloyalty to the country -- make no mistake, democrats on the hill were outraged. >> woodruff: they weren't inf

but this sense, marx david, the point mark just made about this sense that the president is reacting,t did the president do historically in what do presidents do? >> sometimes they shake things up and fire people, sometimes that happens and creates a new beginning, and the second thing they do is have a burst of energy on an initiative. i think the president's vision on foreign policy has been what we won't do and i think that's had a slow corrosive effect on people's sense of energy. on the domestic policy, they've decided to be content with signing statements and things they can do administratively rather than legislation. and they've thought about putting down big proposals knowing they won't get passed but making life easy for the successor, just to throw them out there and get the debate started, at least that would be big movement and big things coming out. >> woodruff: the president announced two days ago -- yesterday, i guess, 300 military advisors going to iraq. i mean, that the an active step, isn't it? >> not really. i mean, judy, for those of a certain age, that has echoes
