i in the most robust terms if we cannot name the problem and we cannot say or violent over white supremacists in addition to the systemic white supremacy which we live is the problem if we can't even name that problem then there is absolutely no hope of fixing or mitigating the problem whatsoever. i'm just looking at you choose a lot of people talking about white supremacy in arguing about it so no lusciousness how much the president donald trump contribute to what happened at the capitol building last. i think his contributions are significant not just that clip back during the debates but post-election as does. prost protest that the election was stolen and that he wanted people to activate just come out and show their displeasure so. i think looking at the period that i was doing the undercover work in the 1990 s. a lot of people asked me what has changed and they tend to focus on the internet and social media but it's really hasn't changed nearly as much as you would imagine what changed was you had a president of the united states and a top authority figure encouraging these groups to mo

but are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups. to say that they need to stand down and not to the violence in a number of these studies as we saw in town osha and as we've seen in portland sure you know malaria as it is i think like you who has a i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing not from the right so what do you want to you know what do you say i'm willing to do anything i want to see. you do it. do you want to call him what do you want to call him give me a name give me a what is a process and would you like me to indict outgrown as a person right proud of my words stand back and stand by. well they heard the message as we saw on january 6th 2021. they definitely stanstead by. i in the most for of us terms if we cannot name the problem and we cannot say or violent over white supremacists in addition to the systemic white supremacy in which we live is the problem if we can't even name that problem then there is absolutely no hope of fixing or mitigating the problem whatsoever. i'm just looking here if you

of white supremacists around the world how does that happen and not go unnoticed. well i think you have to look back at the events of 2014 and how the united states empowered. terrible government ukraine and unleashed these forces of white supremacy in the nets the ism i mean to my down protest because you know i mean the political backdrop was there was a production leader a victory on the covert and there was an uprising against him that was supported by the united states and it was presented as pro democratic forces but many actually worship stephen bend there of who was in that sea clobber in world war 2 and it empowered the far right in ukraine and just like here in the united states are coming more and more out of the woodwork and they've been able to infiltrate the government they have positions high positions within the governments and their activists and khadra feel more comfortable coming out in the open promoting their a chilled ideology and they've been in power they're getting money and they're building up these militias in part through foreign funding

sympathizers and white supremacist members of congress in that extraction point to i know and who i felt would disclose my location. >> laura: but those defamatory and disgusting accusations didn't stop there, democrats also alleged when republicans helped plan the attack in some kind of premeditated fashion. >> first coming to the capital that i saw on january 5th, a sub reconnaissance for the next day. i'm going to see they are held accountable. >> we had people on the inside lining to hurt the very people they are working with who actually sought to hurt us, you planned it. >> laura: joined me now is laura logan, host of lara logan no agenda, i would like to say this is reprehensible, but nowhere near strong enough. >> it isn't anywhere near strong enough, isn't it a conspiracy theory what's on the other side? it would just be dismissed as a conspiracy and he would be told that you were crazy if you are talking about it, right? when you have no evidence of any of this. i'm always conscious of what we don't know because there's a lot of questions about exactly what happened at the

, i'm a white supremacist. ody that disagrees with the left, and now with this warm whites primacy, just like the war on drugs was an attack on the working class and poor we are about to see it all over again. i just want to reach out to black people and let's quit being used as a pond by a political organization, the left, democrats, -- they are punching down. they are attacking 75 million people that voted for trump. in that attack, they are also attacking you, trust me. at some point, they are coming for you as well. this is not a defense of u. this whole thing, i've lived long enough to know that the racial progress america has made. today, in his speech about white supremacy and nicole wallace talking about truth and the lies that have been told and justified this violence at the capital, what about the lies we listen to all summer about the police killing black people randomly? they've got everybody wound up, riots and violence all across the country. citizens assassinated, no one gets blamed for that. peo

only in the crowd but perhaps among law enforcement and help us place this in the context of white supremacist infiltration of police more broadly. >> there's a long history of explicit bias and white supremacy on police department in this country, some of the first police department in the united states were fruits of white men in the south who decided to police the comings and going to enslaved people and that continued, we know the police allowed the lynchings of at least 3000 black people without any legal consequences for those who participated in those murders. this is just something -- >> if i could add that it was also in the southwest in particular the texas rangers and others visited tara on mexican-americans with lynchings and hangings but a similar dynamic. >> absolutely and this is something in the history books, we know there were scandals in police departments in the 1980s and 90s and in 2014 it was discovered there were police officers in florida in the kkk chapter there. in 2016 in alabama officer was alleged to have been a member of the week of the thousands, a white supremac

so on the one hand, you have a congressperson invoking a clear symbol of white supremacist rule and on the outside, you have violent white mobs in the tradition that ought to be

the crowd, but perhaps also among law enforcement, and help us place this in the context of white supremacist infiltration of police more broadly. >> okay. yeah, sure. you know, unfortunately there is a long history of explicit bias and white supremacy on police departments in this country. some of the very first police departments in the united states were groups of white men in the south who decided to police the comings and goings of enslaved people. that continued. we know that police allowed the lynching of at least 3,000 black people without any legal consequences for those who participated in those murders. but, you know, this isn't just something from our distant -- >> if i can just jump in here to add that it was, also, of course in the southwest in particular, the texas rangers and other visited terror on mexican-americans with lynching which often they weren't hangings, they were often shootings, but a similar dynamic. >> yeah, absolutely. and, you know, this isn't just something that is just in the distant past, something for the history books. we know that there were scandals in

have tried to draw attention to the departments that some of their colleagues have expressed white supremacist, affiliated with white extremist groups a lot of black lives matter try to protect the police , the departments have done nothing and ignored the fact many of their officers have been sliding down the slippery slope of extremism. juan: albert, i am wondering, you say increasing radicalization but it has been my sense that having covered police over many years, i'm thinking back to the 30 years ago the eric adams, who is now a mayoral candidate in new york, then was an african-american police officer, repeatedly told me about white supremacist groups in the early 1990's harassing black officers in the ranks. is it that they have become increasingly radicalized or they are bolder in terms of making their views known to the public, especially through social media? so many of these cops and x military or military people boasted on social media of what they were doing. >> that is a good point. i think what a lot of officers have pointed out is this generation -- white supremacist eology in

. >> it was a grotesque of deadly white supremacists. >> impeaching the white supremacist in chief. >> laura: i thought it was like watching at one point maybe a baltimore city council meeting, that's how impressive it was glen mitch mcconnell has already announced he's not reconvening the senate before the biden inauguration, so this is being done for what purpose? trump will be out of office, presumably living in florida and chuck schumer will be convening impeachment hearings or working with mcconnell to do that? is that white people voted for biden? as i said watching this today, it seems like there's a bunch of teenagers on social media too much and they were spewing any hashtag they could get their hands on. is this the u.s. congress? incompetent fools who don't know how to fix what ails us as a nation. at a time 140 million americans are out of work, when thousands are still dying daily with covid come home and small business owners are living in despair about losing their life's work and when vaccine distribution is appallingly slow in large parts of america, most of the democ

maga movement are white supremacist domestic terrorists. >> pete: that's precisely correct. even if you're on the ground. the timeline matters. 15 minutes before the president was done speaking they were breaching the security of the capitol. the vast majority of the people there were there because they love this president come appreciate once he's done for this nation and had nothing to do with violence. they are highly educated. they are patriotic. they believe in the principles of this country and what they know that they are not going to get from joe biden and from this moment is unity. they are told to shut up and sit down. you're all a bunch of racists. in fact, worse than racist. your white supremacist and you are probably domestic terrorists too on the president you love, he's actually usama bin laden. eric swalwell said the same thing. his chinese problems seems to have gone away. he made the same comparison. now trump supporters are saying our president is usama bin laden and i'm a domestic terrorist? this social media arms of our country suppressing, investigating

. -- white supremacists caused the -- but direction from the republican party. the election of barack obama gave us donald trump. i am not saying that every trump voter is racist, but i am saying every racist is a trump voter. the proof is the people who attacked the capital, the extreme right neofascists, the proud boys were in there, the militia movements were there, white supremacists were in there. we can't ignore that. donald trump has pandered to the white supremacists since the day he called barack obama a kenyan born muslim. i am a 70 five-year-old vietnam veteran who has voted every time , and i voted mostly for democrats. we cannot allow white supremacist neofascists, which has media support in some places, we cannot allow those people to turn america into a neofascist country. thank you for taking my call. host: from the wall street journal, "law enforcement bracing for more violence. the intelligence group which tracks extremist threats online said the weekend that they have armed far-right protests scheduled for january 17." others telling the milli

the white supremacists don't necessarily see a need to do that quite yet. would also say that the tempo for isis cases has dropped within the bureaus. in 2015 you had fbi agents i was interviewing say they work 18 hour days and would see their families for weeks and would cancel family picnics to go work cases. now i would say there rested a little bit more but they're out there, they're dealing with the issues but it's a different dynamic. one of the things to look at for that different dynamic is the charges. so some in the fbi organization would argue that the tempo hasn't dropped too much what has changed is where taking cases earlier on so we're arresting individuals for false statements to the fbi, gun charges or drug charges and before that we would let it build up for material support for terrorism so they will say there's only been a dozen cases you know about that there's two dozen more you don't because we arrested a guy for gun charges and that's what i'm talking about when i say we don't have a full picture of isis in america and it's going to

if we fail to remove a white supremacist president incited a white supremacist insurrection, it is communitiese missouri's first district that suffer the most. the 117th congress must understand with a mandate to legislate in defense of black lives. the first step is to root out whe supremacy starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. thank you and i yield back. >> the john mack from ohio -- amy: after cori bush' remarks, some republicans booed. congressmember bush has said her first resolution in congress will be to "call for the expulsion of the republican members of congress who incited this domestic terror attack on the capitol." as trump was impeached wednesday, more of his supporters who took part in last week's attack were arrested, including current police officers. in queens, new york, the fbi arrested eduard florea, a leader of the far-right proud boys group, for allegedly plotting another attack on the u.s. capitol. the fbi also confirmed the arrest of douglas allen sweet in virginia, who was photographed with the mob in the capitol wearing a shirt that read "camp ausc

people but who are prepared and eager to take a violent action to ensure the continuation of white supremacistower. >> the proud boys explicitly disavow white supremacy and, in fact, there are people of color who belong to the group. how should we process those pieces of information? kathleen: it is helpful to think of overlapping venn diagrams. there are two ways the proud boys are related to a broader landscape of white activism. -- white power activism the first is that they are effectively organized around several issues that although they include activists of color and say they are not white supremacist, they are interested in a bunch of ideas congruent with violent white power activism. this includes what the proud boys themselves call western chauvinism, the idea of meeting -- that western, meaning european and white cultures are superior to other cultures. they are anti-islam, antifeminist, violent in many iterations and they work as strike forces for moments of white power activism. for instance, they were present in the charlottesville rally in virginia in 2017. they have showed up a

white supremacists and into government extremist.to the election, they built a lot of complicated, important cases against people who were bent on violence against public officials, the kidnapping plot against gretchen whitmer, the governor in michigan. they were very committed very busy. what i don't understand is how that knowledge from the field agents out in the field does not seem to have translated as far as we can tell at this point, into intelligence products that would have gone out and been disseminated or broadly to other law enforcement agencies. another thing is just simply the lack of personnel and the capitol police on the date of the event. i have been watching the d.c. metropolitan police for months now, and i think they have been very professional, sophisticated in allowing protesters at these right-wing events in d.c. to express themselves but not to harm people and not for violence to break out. that is clearly not the case with the capitol police. they did not advance that level of professionalism and sophisticat

we had been screaming to the rafters we were the canary in the coal mine, that white supremacist violencewas increasing, that we were seeing organizations building power related to white supremacy and white nationalism. not just in the south. i think of our colleagues and political research associates in the midwest and the pacific northwest who have been saying that white people -- folks that were proponents of right-wing populism were looking for places of belonging and they were creating them or joining organizations like the proud boys, three percenters. we have been saying this for a very long time. so when charlottesville happened and then the attack on highlander happened and then the bombing in nashville on christmas day, it felt like an escalation was happening. that we could see on social media clear as day folks were planning to go to this protest in d.c. on the sixth, that we could be -- the federal government and folks literally paid to pay attention to the harm were not at the helm to ensure it did not happen was quite frustrating. to compare what happened in january 6 to wh

he was a white supremacist. he considered himself a conservative, he was a democratic party leader, and he was perhaps the most prolific look speaker at public monument dedications at least in north carolina, if not everywhere. he is always at dedications, if you look at his planner, you are always fighting julian carr front and center giving a speech. in his speeches are preserved at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. they have a bunch of his speeches, and it was these speeches that led me to this project. he is so central in this monument building movement that i think it is worth focusing on him as our key example. you can see him here as he was one of the leading speakers. this was at the dedication of the liberty monument. you can see him there in the center speaking in his confederate uniform. and though through these speeches and fundraising, he was a leading propagator of the lost cause, and his mission was to recall the war in a specific way, which frequently overlapped with his goals arou

fostering of a neo-nazi, neo fascist outlook this president has fostered and especially the white supremacist. here is a man who has a white nationalist as one of his advisers who is constantly trying to bait black people into response. when you say black lives matter and you put up well blue lives matter too, first of all that is a mistake. a big old word the philosophers would say. you're born black. you're not born blue. one is a job that one has as a police person. the other is a racial category one inherits merely from birth. when people say my life matters too of course it does. the fact we say black lives matter there is something missing. black lives matter also. black lives matter, too. black people would not dare say that only our lives matter. in fact, when you look at the history of african-american people in this country we have been the most gracious, loving, embracing people, the most loyal people. but even in the declaration of independence thomas jefferson noting the domestic insurrectionists, that is the name he gave, to those africans listening to british people to say, loo

understood under one broad-spectrum, but if we separate out for an initial discussion people who are white supremacist in the form that takes of an ideological commitment to a political program of upholding white supremacy understood as doing that. the ku klux klan, the neo-nazi model, the kind of people who would not ironically or jokingly or at least when they are are in private put forth the 14 words of their political program. what is your sense of their presence in this movement and their interaction with what might be seen as trends that may support white supremacy and maintaining a system that is racist but it would not personally identify as such or do not understand their politics to be doing that? what are the balances in the movement in that? they are merging between those different views. ms. reitman: they played a role in every large far-right movement over the past 30 years. you saw this in the 1990's with the militia movement. the radical right, the white supremacist neo-nazi factions were a major power behind the militia movement of the 1990's that was not seen as a racist movement, bu

. >> if we fail to remove the white supremacist president who incited a white supremacist insurrections communities like missouri's first district that suffer the most. the first step is to root out white supremacy starting with impeaching the white supremacist in chief. >> it's had trump power grab it will not stop. it will not stop with attacking the capitol and the state legislatures. he's capable of starting a civil war. he must be impeached. >> jesse: some in the media aren't trying to tone down the rhetoric either. >> we have been too nice i would say. trump is the spiritual but i would also say operational leader of this domestic terrorism effort. he tells them where to go. he tells them what to do. he tells them why they are angry. enough with unity and stuff. >> it's no different than the name bin laden. you're not going to do business with bin laden. the logo of trump's business is the people storming the capital. it's going to be enjoyable to watch this loathsome lizard of a human being go down the drain. >> jesse: all right, pete hegseth, does it concern you that the media

groups like white supremacists are not republicans. the whole point here is that anybody who conducts violence or the threat of violence, i'm talking about outside law enforcement or the military, these are fringe organizations. they are a small percentage. take a look at the october report. we very specifically disassociate terrorism from any political party. that's what's most important to start. as we found, there was an uptick in anti-fascist violence in the u.s. in 2020. a number of those people have been prosecuted for illegal activity to the degree there is evidence. we live in the united states where you cannot convict someone without evidence. i do think it's important, what we've done is communicate regularly with the fbi and the department of justice more broadly. they all have databases on terrorist attacks in the united states. they have access to them. what's important to understand, including what we've put together, it's not about one incident. the incident that occurred in the state capital was concerning and breached

even before the white supremacist rally in charlotteville in 2017, about the threat that white supremacists extremists pose. not just as a costic element in society, which is serious enough, but also to public safety. and so we are taking it seriously, coordinating with local police, capitol police, state police. the capitol is boarded up. capitol square has been closed. permits for rallies that were planned have been canceled. state buildings around capitol square have been boarded up, including my own office. so we are taking these threats very seriously. we are in contact and communication with law enforcement that is monitoring a lot of the online conversations that are happening. right now we're hopeful that nothing like what we saw happens again. and a year ago this time we saw what seemed like a dress rehearsal in richmond. it is what is called lobby day. and pro-gun groups showed up in order to protest reasonable gun safety prevention measures that the legislator -- the legislature was taking up and while there were -- was violence, there was in fact i think due to the preparation t
