as proud boys take down fence after fence. >> over and over again the proud boys use the same tacticsp the crowd, remove the barriers, allow the crowds to push through. "the times" reports that the proud boys were critical players in five major advances to breach the capitol. they were using the crowds as a tool, and it worked. and that is why today's conviction was so important. these weren't random members of the mob. they were the leaders of it. and it turns out one of the things we learned in this trial is that not only was the mob a tool of the proud boys, butternally within the far right group itself, the leaders of the proud boys were using their lower level members, the lower level proud boys as pawns as well. here's an example. during the trial a now former proud boy, a witness who cooperated with the government, he testified that he was surprised when the group's leaders like joe biggs, when they marched about 200 proud boys away from trump's speech and towards the capitol. but when rioters burst through the barricades minutes after proud boys arrived, he realized this may h

that part of the proud boys remain.t this atmosphere of political violence we have in this country right now. tarrio was the proud boys connection to donald trump and his allies. i spoke to roger stone, one of trump's confidence, that he had been advising the proud boys for years leading up to january 6 and was a good friend of tarrio. during the trial, prosecuted didn't get much into those relationships. the judge said you have to stick to the points and these proud boys' defendants, but the question remains on the table. how close did tarrio and the proud boys get close to donald trump directly through people like roger stone? tarrio is their leader and political factor. him going behind bars will be disruptive but it will not end them completely. amy: i want to go to carmen hernandez, attorney for defendant zachary rehl, leaving the courthouse. >> he is a young man who served his country. i do not believe he committed seditious conspiracy. has never been convicted of a crime of violence, but that jerry has spoken, an

"the lead" starts right now. today four proud boys convicted of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the january 6 insurrection making this the third time federal prosecutors have successfully gotten a guilty verdict on these very serious charges. what might it mean for donald trump and the special counsel investigation? >>> plus a homeless man held in a deadly chokehold by a stranger on a new york city subway car. why this incident spaurrked a homicide investigation and important conversations about mental illness and vigilantism. >>> and then the fight gets under way to overturn an abortion ban in one state, a ban dating back to 1849. you heard that right. years before the civil war. decades before women could even vote. we're talking to the attorney general who filed the lawsuit. welcome to "the lead." we begin in our politics lead. a major milestone in the prosecution of the pro trump rioters who stormed the capitol on january 6, 2021. and an effort to -- in an effort to forcib

these members of the proud boys.e things that the justice department found in chats even among members of the proud boys that they were able to show to the jury so far to help secure these convictions, things like a message enrique tarrio, the leader of the proud boys, had sent to other proud boys on january 6th saying, make no mistake, we did this. that was a crucial piece of evidence in this case so far, and it did allow the jury to find tarrio guilty of seditious conspiracy. he was not on the grounds of the capitol or even in washington, d.c., on january 6th, so that was quite a monumental thing for the justice department to be able to are prove in this case. but we are still waiting for that additional count. what happened with the other seditious conspiracy charge against dominic pezzola. pezzola is a person that is very visibly part of the story of the day of january 6th. he had -- he's seen in many images, in video, in photos breaking a window, in this case, he was accused of ripping a riot shield away from a

m., you see the proud boys marching to the capital. >> proud of your boys, proud of your boys. >> yeahey're probably about 300 proud boys. they are marching eastbound and it's 400 blocks of kind of -- towards the united states capitol. >> the proud boys also featured prominently in the later hearing. new york congressman, jamie raskin, laid out how donald trump's tweet in december, 2020, telling his followers explicitly to come to d. c. on the six, be there, will be wild, spurred the proud boys and the oath keepers to conspire together. >> trump's december 19th tweet motivated these two extremist groups, which have historically not worked together, to coordinate their activities. december 19th attended anti-2 am, just hours after president trump's tweet, kelly meggs, the head of the florida oath keepers, declared an alliance among the oath keepers, the proud boys, and the florida three percenters, another militia group. he wrote, we have decided to work together and shut this issue down. >> and congressman jamie raskin joins me now. congressman, it's great to have you on. i, just your

he was not as involved with the proud boys and only joined the proud boys pretty late in the game andcation with other members of the proud boys, so they said that prosecutors did not put that case over the top. in that case, you know, dominic pezzola who took the stand in his own defense, what jurors heard from him, at least convinced them that he wasn't a part of this sort of broader movement, and wasn't in communication with the other members of the proud boys as the four defendants who were found guilty of conspiracy. >> dominic pezzola, not guilty of seditious conspiracy, but enrique tarrio, guilty of seditious conspiracy, and zachary, and ethan biggs, four of the five men there. >>> the national security council's john kirby joins me to respond. first, though, he's arguably the oppenheimer of artificial intelligence, and now he's worried that what he's unleashed could end the world. what geoffrey hinton warns will happen if we don't act immediately to limit ai. immediately to limit ai. >>> it's the stuff you see in movies, a dystopia where robots have all passed humans and will

, he was not as deeply involved in the proud boys and only joined the proud boys shortly before they ended up storming the capitol. this was sort of a last minute decision for him to even come down. i think his father-in-law tried to convince him out of it. he has a family at home. he was a floor installer and had a business going that was being shut down during covid, and his family really didn't want him to go down. ultimately, he did make the decision to go down, and was in fact one of the first people to break through that barrier. when thinking about how juries are looking through this, reading it can be very difficult, but there is some logic to that that you can follow from the jury here. they had no trouble with these broader counts reaching on that charge of seditious conspiracy against enrique tarrio which i thought was the one they were going to be having a bit of trouble here with, and i guess i was wrong on that one. >> and, ken, tarrio wasn't there physically at the january 6th -- you know, on the attack, but the jury found that he was in this specific count, guilty. >>

reporter: prosecution says the proud boys saw themselves as trump's foot soldiers.mp: proud boys, it stands and stand by. reporter: that statement became a rallying cry for them. the four convicted today face the most serious charges, planning and leading the attack to keep trump in office. they are accused of spearheading the violence, breaking through police lines and launching the breach of the capitol building. another one of the men convicted was part of a small group organized to carry out proud boys actions on the capital. they called themselves the ministry of self defense and they are group chats formed the bulk of the evidence against them. the leader was not in washington that day. a judge ordered him to leave for committing a different offense. so he watched from a hotel room outside of d.c., guiding the riot from afar and then taking credit for it on social media. make no mistake, he posted, we did this. the defense argued trump was to blame, that his words of anger inspired the proud boys and that there was no preplanned conspiracy, the riot happened a

proud boys: the battle forjanuary the 6th.all know what happened onjanuary the 6th in washington — a violent mob intent on overturning the 2020 election result stormed the capitol. be advised, there's probably about 300 proud boys marching eastbound towards the united states capitol. i was there and filmed 200—300 members of a group called the proud boys as they marched towards their target. they are right—wing nationalists who believe the united states is being betrayed by internal enemies and an overbearing government. on the day, the proud boys were tight—lipped. but we've seen thousands of hours of evidence of exactly what was going on that day. this is ethan nordean, one of the leaders of the proud boys, along with us army veteran joseph biggs in the checked shirt and zack riel on the left in the cap, they've been convicted for leading the capitol insurrection. also convicted of seditious conspiracy is proud boy chairman enrico tarrio. he wasn't at the capitol that day, having been arrested on another charge two days prev

the proud boys were the flame. you know, both things need to be prosecuted but if i'm in donald trump's camp, i'm going to be a little worried about this, you know, for every reason you have heard so far on this. i think it's interesting, when you talk about the future of the proud boys, i think it was in the 1920s, there was a big uprising of the ku klux klan, i think it reached upwards of a million medical examiner and the le -- members, and the leader ended up going to jail for an inappropriate relationship with a minor. i think you can see that not just with the proud boys, the oath keepers, the groipers, the other groups that are out there which is like, a failed coup is still a coup attempt, and you're going to be held responsible. again, donald trump's camp should be a little worried about this, and for somebody that's worked so hard on this, meaning the january 6th committee, it's good to see that justice is being served, but it's not complete yet. >> we'll see if jack smith goes ahead and charges trump wit

on the day, the proud boys were tight—lipped.een thousands of hours of evidence of exactly what was going on that day. this is ethan nordean, one of the leaders of the proud boys, along with us army veteran joseph biggs in the checked shirt and zack riel on the left in the cap, they've been convicted for leading the capitol insurrection. also convicted of seditious conspiracy is proud board chairman enrico tarrio. he wasn't at the capitol that day, having been arrested on another charge two days previously. much of the evidence came from this man, another leader, charles donohoe, who pled guilty and cooperated with the authorities, taking our country back. but despite all the evidence shown in court, over 1,000 people have now been prosecuted, january the 6th is still very much contested territory in america. returning to the scene over two years on, almost nothing is agreed by all sides. january the 6th has become emblematic of america's bitter political divide. what we saw is that over the weeks and months, the narrative got re

proud boys. >> proud boy, stand back and stand by. >> would you say proud boys numbers increased after the stand back and stand by comment? >> exponentially. i'd say triples probably. >> tripled. donald trump recruit for this convicted sedition militia, rejecting any standard call to stand down. he told them to stand by, and they did. now they'll be standing by in prison, for maybe decades. some may die there. they will have plenty of time to reflect on what heeding trump's call did to their own lives and, more importantly in the eyes of justice, what it did to so many other people's lives -- the police they savagely assaulted, the lawmakers they sent running, even those lawmakers who had claimed to be among some republicans, forging a type of common cause with january 6th. they tested our democracy but did not break it. eat time of accountability in america because their narraters and propagandists are being dealt with separately under civil law some fox news paying many billions of dollars but no talk of eight foot cells over there. that's on purpose, the u.s. justice system aims to

the proud boys were operational. we saw them online communicating with other groups like the oath keepers. but were it not for the prout proud boys and oath keepers, january 6 is a loud demonstration. these individuals were key into the planning and penetration of the capitol. they didn't get this idea on their own. justice has not been served. the book on january 6 isn't fully closed until those who at the top, as was previously mentioned, are brought to justice for them. >> to follow up on that. is it your belief that this was a conspiracy planned at the top -- let me pause at that hypothetically. planned at the top and there were lawyers involved and others, as we know, who have been charged as well, but we are waiting to see what happens, of course, with donald trump and some of his closest advisors, but that it got out of hand? or do you think they were actually intending for this crowd, this unruly mob to get into the capitol? >> you know, i will share my private thoughts with you. i don't have any intrinsic in

and we don't know yet whether the gunman was part of proud boy. certainly he was wearing patches that as you mention were sold by proud boys. but there's a direct linkage between somethingka like right-wing death squad and the slogan that comes with it which is -- to latin-american ideas aboutin whiteness. pinot shea was the infamous right-wing dictator who dealt with his enemies, dealt by simply throwing others out of a helicopter over the ocean. it was said way back way before january 6th. and the other thing to understand, and this has a long history, it's l complex. i'll dost it here very quickly, but people can read more about this. ideas about whiteness and what counts as white and who might be under the umbrella of being included in nazism are very, very different fromzi country t country. one of the striking things in the allen, texas shooter's purported social media are images of people who in the united states would present as latino wearing nazi dress and not just n the shooter, groups d groups of people wearing nazi uniforms, wearing n

it led to an increase in membership of the proud boys. president trump tweeted about the january 6th rally and told attendees, be there, it will be wild. a day later the department of justice described how they created a the chat called the ministry of self-defense chat. the proud boys established a command structure in tupgs of coming back to d.c. on january 6th. the department of justice described mr. tar owe coming into a documentrio coming into a document we learned inn recent cay tarrio met. >> there's much really respect there. we're fighting the same fight. >> the investigation revealed it was individuals associated with the proud boys who instigated the initial breach at 12:53 p.m. >> it was, again, sort of the biggest gifts to the public's ability to understand something that's protected as part of a criminal proceeding, but pick up on carol's point, the committee developed evidence that it was the presidential detail feeding information to the white house about the specific types of weapons that trump supporters were armed with.

we have a verdict in the proud boys seditious conspiracy trial.the courthouse, our justice reporter ryan reilly is outside that courthouse in washington, and still with us barbara mcquade, also joining us danny cevallos, ryan, what do we know about this verdict? >> reporter: we know there's at least a partial verdict in this case. the jury had sent a note a couple of days ago asking what they could do and the judge instructed them that they could indeed return a partial verdict if necessary, if they are hung up on any counts. so that seems like what we might have a situation here is that, you know, this could be a full verdict or a partial verdict. given the jury's note before, we could be looking at potentially a partial verdict in this case. this case started back in december during jury selection, and opening arguments were in january. we're now in may. this has been a very long lasting trial stretched out over several months, and you know, jurors had a lot they had to look at here. i think one of the most complicated questions for the jurors t

we're all proud boys! before the attack on the capitol. today, he was found guilty of seditious conspiracy, the ringleader of a plot to halt the peaceful transfer of power. be advised, there's probably about 300 proud boys. - they're marching eastbound - towards the united states capitol. the prosecution said the proud boys saw themselves as donald trump's foot soldiers, spearheading the fight to keep him in office, believing he'd put them on notice months earlier. proud boys, stand back and stand by... more than 300 people who took part in the capitol riots have already been sentenced, but the four proud boys convicted today faced the most serious charges, planning and leading the attack. they were accused of being at the forefront of breaking through police lines and launching the breach of the capitol building. court documents said the defendants belong to a small group of men hand—picked by tarrio to carry out proud boys actions at the capitol. they called themselves the ministry of self—defense. their

it is also about someone, enrique tarrio, the founder of the proud boys, the head of the proud boys who he could be convicted for engaging in this agreement. and this is not just any conspiracy case either. it is a seditious conspiracy case meaning not only would these men need to be convicted, be proven that they came to some sort of agreement, but that agreement was to overthrow the government or somehow hinder the government by force, so a lot is on the line here. and there is a lot that is at stake for the justice department in their january 6th prosecution. we don't have a verdict yet. as far as i can tell the jury is not back in the room, but we're eagerly awaiting to see what happens next. >> real quick for those who haven't been following jury deliberations, as you say the they're disputing if even want it read right now. they have struggled here to find unanimity. bring us up to beat on what that back and forth has been in the past several days? >> reporter: yeah, the jury has really asked for a lot. often there are notes from juries when they're out deliberating, they ask for

in the proud boys and oath keepers, it's so important to hold them to account.obviously, to get to donald trump, there is this call and response relationship between donald trump and those two organizations. the way in which i think this is relevant to jack smith, it's not so much on the, is there proof? i mean, that's something that this case, it's not proof, it can't introduce that there is this conviction. but it is relevant to the really important question of, should you prosecute? not can you prosecute, but then you have a very important decision as a prosecutor, when you should bring a case. you don't bring every case that can be brought. here, with these people, as glenn said, who are the footsoldiers, carrying out very much what donald trump could -- put in motion. the idea that you wouldn't charge the leader of the conspiracy is something that that question answers itself. it also takes away the argument that we saw when alvin bragg went forward, with this case being brought but for his name being donald trump. here, anybody who led this conspiracy woul
