>> well, it -- it's a good, first step, anderson. i think, i realized by listening to the speech that i, along with so many of my asian brothers and sisters. we've had so many suppressed feelings of anger, and resentment and sadness for our community which has felt so invisible in overlooked for so long. you know, where we -- we feel like people don't think that we deal with racism. and that's just not the truth. and so, when you have the president and the vice president coming to atlanta. to acknowledge the rise in xenophobia, the racism that asians have been dealing with for so long. and to say, i -- i see you and i understand that this is a community, that's extremely afraid for their safety right now. i think that meant a lot to a lot of people. in the asian community. it did serve as some comfort. but look, at the end of the day, the asian community, anderson, wants concrete solutions. you know, what are you going to do, mr. president? and all-elected officials, to protect the asian-american community and to prevent these kinds

my entire life, you know, anderson. as recently as just -- as the debates for my senate seat, back in 2016. my opponent, a united states senator at the time, questioned my ancestry and my americanness. and whether or not i was sufficiently loyal to this country because my mother is -- is asian-american. i often get stopped and -- and, you know, asked, where are you from, really? i mean, that happened to me all-23 years of my military service. i was wearing the naetion's cloth, her uniform, with her colors on my shoulders, stars and stripes, going into combat. and i would have people stop me, you know, and ask me. yeah. yeah. you are an american but where are you from, really? you know? i'm sorry, i've been here -- my family's been here since before the revolution. i am a daughter of the american revolution, and i get asked those questions. but that experience, anderson, is pretty universal across all aapis in this country. where we are often treated as the other. we are often, on the one hand, treated as, well, you're n

>> yeah, good evening, anderson. this was a very heartbreaking scene for my crew and i to approach this evening, as we came to the columbiana region southeast of birmingham. the same footage you saw a moment ago was part of the tornado that tore the house you see behind me completely off of its foundation, ripped it 100 feet from where it was originally located, and deposited it in shambles behind me. now, what you're seeing is a rescue operation from the individuals that live in this community. this is an animal rescue center, where we're located. they house over 50 horses, 50 stallions, in fact. several dozen goats as well as sheep. these animals all need to be rescued. there's no more fences. all of the trees have been obliterated around the area, including homes that you see behind me. so there's a massive effort to try to save the animals from this particular rescue center as well. the two individuals that lived here, two elderly people, they have been transported with unknown injuries to a local veterans hospit

the fact, think about russia, anderson. this is a country that gave us sakharov, tolstoy, solzhenitsyn and rachmaninoff. and putin gave us poisoned underwear. it's kind of pathetic. we have to brush him back. but a real focus needs to be building up our muscles for the competition with china that is the game. and do our best to ignore this bad boyfriend from hell. >> you know, chinese intelligence operations against u.s. businesses and u.s. interests is massive in this country. we do focus a lot on russia because they have been so involved in the last two elections. but that's just part of the concern about china. >> yeah, there is no question. china uses espionage for industrial purposes. but, you know, anderson, at the end of the day, all the things we're stealing in america are hiding in plain site, the constitution, the declaration of independence, a free and fair judiciary. as long as we can deep those at a high level, we'll be an example for the world and we'll always invent the next new thing. so that's really what i

it's normally referred to, anderson, as meta data. this is data that is collected from cell phones that are communicating between each other. and they have this information now. the question of course is what do they do with it next? >> so -- excuse me. the alleged communication, is that actually during the attack or is it in the days around it? >> well, some of it is during the attack while some of the people were inside the capitol on that day, on january 6th. some of it is leading up to it. the thing is they don't know exactly, at least they haven't revealed to us what exactly that data is, whether it's text messages, whether it's people calling other people. so that is still the information that we don't have. but they do have this data. and what they've told us is that it is -- some of it is from the day of the insurrection and some of it is in the days leading up to the insurrection. >> and is there any sense of a timetable for this investigation? >> reporter: no, so there's a couple of things going on here. first of all, we don

we don't know, anderson, when his next court appearance will be. he was scheduled for his first court appearance today, but that for some reason was cancelled on request of his attorney. so, he waived his right for a first appearance, anderson. >> i appreciate the reporting. we're going to hear more from mayor bottoms shortly. more on the fallout over the sheriff spokesman and what he said on camera. we're now learning what he posted online as well. natasha chen has that. >> reporter: the cherokee county, georgia, sheriff's office says captain jay baker is no longer the spokesperson on the case of a killing spree at three spas resulting in eight deaths. baker has come under fire for this social media post he allegedly shared last april showing custom graphic t-shirts reading covid-19 imported virus from china. the post read, love my shirt, get yours while they last. the account has been deleted. baker invited controversy in an answer to a reporter's question about whether the suspect understood the gravity of his actions. >> they got that impressio

>> well, i don't think it will work, anderson. there is a rule in liable cases that mere opinion, puffery, is not enough to establish a liable case, that you have to have false statements of facts. but the dominion complaint itemizes dozens of very particular false statements that she made and that randy kay reviewed in her report. i mean, the judge is not going to accept this any more than the judges accepted her four cases during the election or the 60 plus cases that she and the president's other enablers attempted -- the ex presidents other enablers attempted to bring. it won't wash in court. >> norm eisen, appreciate it. again, it's surreal to even look at that and remember that actually happened, and there are still people who believe it and republicans who are making these arguments. and the former president is still making these arguments. norm eisen, thanks very much. we'll be right back. skin crawlg ♪ hey, mercedes? -how can i help you? ♪ i can't fear you, i don't hear you now ♪ ♪ wrapped in your regret ♪ ♪ w

>> you know, it could be any of those things, anderson. it's entirely possible that you have video surveillance either at the crime locations or at the neighboring businesses across the street, that sort of thing that could give you a great vision into a vehicle that may have entered or left the scene at the right time. at the same time, i'm sure those police officers are canvassing those businesses to see if anybody saw anything suspicious. vehicles moving at a high rate of speed, people looking like they're fleeing the scene. there is all different kinds of channels to get that vehicle description. we don't know how they are characterizing the vehicle but it obviously something they will be looking closely for. >> when you have incidents like this in different jurisdictions, i mean, one is in cherokee county. the other is in atlanta, paid peedmont close to each other how important is that? >> it likely that their relationships and ability to coordinate are well developed and strong and i'm sure they have criminal activity that very frequ

. >> that's absolutely right, anderson. and if you'll recall, earlier today, we heard from one of the reporters that there were some announcements heard that the police were giving to someone who was allegedly sitting in a vehicle. so it may have begun outside, gone inside, and who knows, maybe even ended outside. we just -- with, you know, we really don't have very much critical information at this point. but i would say it's a wide open possibility. and just to tail on to what chief ramsey said, i mean, these folks are in what will probably be the worst day of their professional careers. it's an absolutely nightmarish, chaotic scene to deal with, and it's made a million times worse by the fact that they lost one of their own. so my heart goes out to them. but it's very hard to stand in front of the press when you don't really have anything that you're comfortable saying. you are better off not standing there and taking questions and saying you don't know or you won't tell. so that's something that hopefully maybe they'll

anderson starts right now. >>> good evening. it is a historic day in the fight against covid and physical and financial struggles it created. on the day president biden's signature domestic policy passed and $2 trillion covid relief bill, the president announced plans for a deal with johnson & johnson to produce 100 million more doses of the one-shot vaccine and america should have enough vaccine for every adult by the end of may. this as cases are declining again. we'll have more on that in a moment. we want to start with that covid relief bill that passed. whether you applaud the $2 trillion bill is house democrats did immediately after the pass or loathe the price, it's a big deal. it sets the tone in washington for two years with direct payments going to about 90% of households and money for the unemployed and those who have children and can't pay rent or bills. >> this is the most kcons consequential legislation many of us will ever be a party to. what knows what the future will bring but nonetheless on this day we celebrat

the book written by conservative skole lar ryan anderson, argues doctors are too quick to give transgender children hormones and surgery. it upset some gay and gender activists. anderson after three years on amazon he's on line bookshelf, it was pulled the day he wrote a op-ed against the equality act a democratic initiative passed thursday in the u.s. house of representatives. >> it doesn't matter how charitable it is, it doesn't matter how rigorously argued it is, it comes to a politically incorrect conclusion. that is what the activists on the left don't like about the book. reporter: opponents of book say thinly researched, does not advocate for the medical care transchildren deserve are happy with amazon, tweeting, we can only hope fewer people write

>> i think it's very significant, anderson. we have to remember that when george floyd was killed in the horrific manner that he was by derek chauvin by having that knee on his neck for 8:46 on may 25th, 2020, it was a watershed moment. it was one of the worst most egregious documentation of an american citizen than torture to death by a police officer and history will judge us on how we respond to this tragedy. so when you have the city leadership and mayor fry agreeing to pay the family $27 million, it speaks to the fact as when we met with president biden we said it's not enough to say america says that george floyd's life matters. they have to demonstrate that george floyd's life matters through their actions and i believe the city leadership of minneapolis demonstrated that george floyd life matters and that black lives matter to them. >> so jurors are being chosen for the trial of officer derek chauvin. the seventh juror was chosen today. what we heard today is jurors of color may be fewer than white jurors. is that true

that's exactly right, anderson. i mean, this is going to be what you would do as a prosecutor here is you would anticipate that it's going to go to trial and that the defendant here might make an insanity defense. that's already being set up with questions of mental illness. and so they're going to be methodical and get every single piece of information that they can get what the defendant did, where he was, any electronic records that they would have, people he was talking with, anyone he had spoken to recently and doing that the full 360 and they're going to do their best to lock down every piece of information they can about this defendant so that if they go to trial, they'll be completely prepared. >> ann, also the city of boulder had an ordinance that banned assault weapons, but on march 12th, a judge blocked it from being enforced. the suspect bought the weapon he used to commit the crime four days after that ruling. i know you looked at the ordinance. we don't know if the gunman did purchase the firearm in bo

anderson starts now. >>> good evening. in less than 24 hours house democrats and only house democrats are likely to pass the $2 trillion covid re llief bill for those americans struggling to earn a paycheck and pay for health care. the president will not only sign it but begin a sales pitch before the nation this thursday night. a poll released today suggestions americans beyond those who voted for the president may be receptive to his pitch. research found 70% favored the bill which is unlikely to draw single republican voting in either chamber of congress. what is striking about that fact, about 41% of republican voters say they support the bill. a bill republican leaders say they'll not vote for in part because they feel left out of the process. >> it didn't have to be this way. we could have had a bill that was, you know, a fraction of the cost of this one that could have gotten bipartisan approval and support, but the speaker decided to go in another direction. >> now, there certainly can be legitimate reasons not to

>> you know, anderson, thank you for asking me to come back again. i'm very grateful. this is extremely complicated, of course. one of the issues is that the royal family is not just a bunch of people. it is a system. it is literally a class system. they stand on top of a pyramid of privilege. think stand on top of a mountain of people who actually stand in front of a lot of other people and so when they're criticized, this below them has to react because if they don't, they're in the barrel, as well. so that's part of what is going on and what meghan has done is brilliant, i'm sure she didn't think she'd do this is walk the foundations of the state. many people are really surprised at how the royal family or whoever minds them, they have people, some of them call the royal household and you think somebody in there could figure out how to respond to this in a human way. we're in a situation where we have all been undone by this pandemic. we will not go back to any kind of normal that we have understood. so you think that in this position, this premiere family with thei

>> you know, it could be any of those things, anderson. it's entirely possible that you have video surveillance either at the crime locations or at the neighboring businesses across the street, that sort of thing that could give you a great vision into a vehicle that may have entered or left the scene at the right time. at the same time, i'm sure those police officers are canvassing those businesses to see if across the street, what have you, to see if anybody saw anything suspicious, you know, vehicles moving at a high rate of speed, people looking like they're fleeing the scene. there is all different kinds of channels to get that vehicle description. we don't know how they are characterizing the vehicle but it obviously something they will be looking closely for. >> and director mccabe, when you have incidents like this in different jurisdictions, i mean one is in cherokee county, the others are in atlanta, on piedmont, just very close to each other, how much more difficult does that make kind of the early part of this investigation? >>

john berman in with anderson. when the program ended, georgia's republican governor signed sweeping voting restrictions into law that could heavily burden black voters in democratic strongholds and one provision adds insult to injury on limited polling access and long lines by making it a crime to give food or water to people on the lines waiting hours often in the hot sun to vote. president biden weighed in calling the law an atrocity. >> you have any indication that has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency, they passed a law saying you can't provide water for people standing in line while they are waiting to vote? you don't need anything else to know this is fis nothing but punitive design to keep peopling from voting. >> outside the signing ceremony, police arrested georgia state representative park cannon knocking on the door trying to get in. she's facing two felony charges that says something as does this photo that came out today. take a hard look. a black lawmaker outside the door is a g

but, anderson, then, he was also pressed on immigration. and the surge that we have seen on the southern border. and, of course, you know, this idea that has not just come from his critics but even top-mexican leaders that it's his policy and his demeanor toward the border that has driven so many migrants to make their way up toward the southern border. he said he does not believe that is the case, and he pointed to other surges that happened under former-president trump. and then, of course, another big question people are asking act this week, that had come up since he announced he was going to do this press conference, was guns, and where he is going to move on that. and if he is going to actually introduce legislation or sign any executive orders. and he made pretty clear, at this press conference today, anderson, that it's not his top priority. infrastructure is what he wants to do, next. >> you also asked the president very specific question about the filibuster. >> yes, because, of course, the fill bust, while it's not really well kn

two of the men came back, that was orval anderson and albert stevens. they did both come back for the second flight. and they hit 72,395 feet. they took measurements about the stratosphere and cosmic radiation and anything they could possibly measure they attempted to while they were up in the gondola. and they took an image of the curvature of the earth, which had never been done. they were recognized for their efforts. they were given medals by fdr, and it was just a success, an all-around success. but what makes it even better for rapid city is it happened in the black hills. it was here. it was local. it was just a great community involved piece of history. clicks you can watch this and other programs on the history of communities across the country at c-span.org cities tour. this is american history tv, only on c-span3. every saturday at 8:00 eastern on american history tv on c-span3, coincided different college classroom and hear about socket -- topics ranging from the american revolution, civil rights, and the u.s. president, to 9/11. >> thank yo

anderson? >> lucy kafanov, thanks. appreciate it. >> more now on those red flags in the shooter's background and what police are saying he armed himself with. i'm wondering what stands out to you right now in terms of reconstructing what happened. >> so i think what's important is that nothing is being ruled out. and i think the fbi's continuing involvement suggests they don't know yet. it could be that they're never going to know. but some combination of a family alleging he has mental illness. we know most people who have mental illnesses are not violent. allegations of bullying and other things that went on in his high school and a life that his family did not seem to know about, one that was slightly obsessed with weaponry and violence. those may complete some story about motivation. they may not. they'll figure out whether there was a triggering event, whether there was something about this store. had he sought employment there? those are the questions. y think nip anything is ruled out right now in terms of motiv

>> yeah, thanks, anderson. we were here getting the restaurant ready to reopen after being closed down for covid and looked out the windows into the parking lot right where you're looking now and saw a ton of police just pulling in really quickly. we started to watch very briefly from the window and realized we should probably take cover so we went into the office and then we found that live stream and then we realized it was really dangerous. i called our team. we have another restaurant upstairs so i called the team and told them to shelter in place and watch that live stream, which was crazy. >> and around what time was it that you first realized something was up? >> you know, i don't even know the time. i don't remember. >> okay. >> it one of those things where you think about everything you can do better. we're not really trained for this. >> in a situation like this, time can play tricks with one. how far, how close are you -- is your piz zeria to the king soopers? >> a few hundred feet. >> have you ever

anderson. >> alex marquardt, thanks. andrew is back with us. >> what do you see when you see this new video? >> well, i mean, it disgusting. i it's -- you know, watching these videos how these law enforcement officers were assaulted and t terrorized are disturbing to anyone who has ever worn a badge and a gun. but i have to say that i think the investigators are really in a tough spot here on this one. so we have, you know, incontrovertible proof of an assault by these two defendants on officer sicknick and that's a serious charge but to raise it to murder, we have to know that the assault led to his death and i would guess that there is probably not a large volume of reliable scientific evidence that shows us what happens when a human is attacked with bear spray. it not made for humans. so this is not the average post mortim medical examiner's report. they will have to dig into the science and figure out how that stuff will impact him on a fatal level. >> we heard senators, johnson and others talk about how these rioter

anderson starts now. >>> good evening. we begin with breaking news. georgia's governor late this evening signing draconian new voting measures into law based on a lie. the legislation's preamble is orwellian. it says the law is meant to address lack of confidence in the election system. gee, i wonder where that came from. georgia's 2020 were counted, recounted, and counted again. no meaningful fraud was uncovered. the results were certified and attested to numerous times, including my georgia's republican trump-supporting secretary of state, ensured any, quote, lack of elector confidence stems from the lying liars telling lies about the election. what's more, one of those liars, former trump attorney sidney powell is now all but admitting to being a liar in her court filings to avoid being sued massively. her defense against defamation claims is no reasonable person would accept her post-election statements as fact. seems like a lot of elected officials are. ahead tonight, how the big election lie is driving voter restriction legislation measures nati

>> well, it's interesting, anderson. we normally get a statement from buckingham palace but a statement issued on behalf of her majesty the queen, the message being this message is from the top. everyone listen. this is important. so she goes on to say the whole family is satined to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for harry and meghan. it is concerning. while some recollections may vary, they are taking very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. harry and meghan and archie will always be much loved members of the family. i think what we can read into that the royal family doesn't recognize some of the things harry and meghan told oprah but keen to rebuild, look at the issue of race and investigate that. there will be a probe into that, but also, emphasizing they're still part of the family and things can get better. >> have meghan markle or prince harry reacted to the palace statement? >> so i contacted the office of the sussexes and they did not respond. i think i

>> you know, anderson, the short answer is no. i contacted border patrol through customs and border protection, asking for not only access to the processing facilities like the one you see behind me, for ride-alongs for worder so we can get eyes on the situation. it's unusual for us to not get access is, which really stands out. and the other thing that i did, i contactsed the texas department of public safety. you probably remember this. earlier this week, texas governor greg abbott was here in the rio grand valley, attacking the biden administration, claiming that the biden administration is down playing the crisis. the governor sending the texas department of public safety here to this area and anderson, i asked the state of texas also to give me a ride along to grant us access and neither the federal government nor the state of texas has granted that type of access. anderson? >> thanks very much, appreciate it. let's get perspective on this now, from jorge ramos. jorge, you wrote in an op-ed back in january that the migrants c

you know, for me, i go back to car michael, anderson. and stokely once said that, if you want to lynch me, that's your problem. but if you had the power to lynch me, then that's my problem. racism in this country is a power construct. and people, like ron johnson, have the power and the ability to implement racist policies, even when they're ignorant to the fact that what they're doing is racist. this is not about somebody calling you nigger. i get called that enough in my twitter comments. i get called that in my messages, when i leave cnn every single day. it's not about that. it's about something more than that. it's about the systemic oppression. it's about the systemic racism. and people, like ron johnson, who play a role in it, and are so ignorant to the fact, to the role they play, that they sit there. and simply, turn their back and say, don't play the race card. we're not playing the race card, senator. we are trying to educate you on the fact that, either -- there -- there -- there's one of two things. either, you're using raci

anderson. >> appreciate it. thank you. >>> coming up, reminder across america the pandemic very much with us and even though vaccines are available, people are still dying. >>> one family wants you to know about leonard davis. the life he's living and what happened to him days before getting the vaccine. so what do you love about your always pan? the non-stick? incredible. the built-in spatula rest? genius? i just learned to cook and this pan makes it so easy. >>> devastating to not be able to be there and to not comfort him, i would rub his head, i would talk to him, i would sing to him, when he was sick before and i could not do any of that. >> just ten days after he was admitted to the hospital, leonard davis passed away. were you table to say goodbye? >> we were able to have the phone held up to his ear, and each of, and i got my children on the phone. and all from different places and we were able to, to say our goodbye and to tell him we loved him. there was not much more to say because he could not answer

anderson. >> kyung lah, thanks very much. for more on -- on the investigation, i am joined now by cnn contributor and former fbi deputy director, andrew mccabe. in a case like this, andrew, what will investigators try and get from the alleged shooter's family and friends as -- as they interview them? >> so it's important to note, anderson, that it's not necessary to prove his motive or understand why he did this in order to convict him for these murders. he will be convicted of these murders. it's pretty -- pretty explicit. the forensic evidence will be undeniable. but it is important for society and for the rest of us, to understand why did this person commit this horrible act of violence? and in order to shed light on that, investigators are going to look at everyone that he was interacting with. they're going to talk to his friends, his family members. if he -- if he has a job, they are going to talk to his work associates. they're going to look at his social-media postings, anything else he may have written, that indicate

that's exactly right, anderson. i mean, this is going to be what you would do as a prosecutor here is you would anticipate that it's going to go to trial and that the defendant here might make an insanity defense. that's already being set up with questions of mental illness. and so they're going to be methodical. they're going get every single piece of information that they can get, what the defendant did, where he was, any electronic records that they would have, people he was talking with, whether that's online. anyone he had spoken to recently and doing that the full 360 and they're going to do their best to lock down every piece of information to understand every single thing they can about this defendant so that if they go to trial, they'll be completely prepared. >> ann, also the city of boulder had an ordinance that banned assault weapons, but on march 12th, a judge blocked it from being enforced. according to a senior law enforcement source, the suspect bought the weapon he used to commit the crime four days

"ac 360" with anderson starts now. >>> good evening. here we are again the capitol under threat once more. capitol police saying they obtained intelligence of a possible plot to breach the capitol and identified a militia group tomorrow. house members worried they are likely going to work tomorrow and asked about the intelligence by confirming her department and the fbi raised the alarm. >> senator we issued a bulletin last night co-authored with the fbi about discussing march 4th and march 6th, is that what you're referring to? a joint intelligence bulletin we released last night around -- it was very late. midnight, i think. >> so with concerns about a new attack front and center, you would think understanding the last one would be a priority especially to the senator she was replying to republican ron johnson. he was interested enough in what might happen tomorrow to make the first question when it comes to what already has happened, not so much but seems in continuing to down play it and deflect responsibility for it. now, we should

john berman here in for anderson. when the program ended last night, georgia's repunlen governor had just signed sweeping voter restrictions into law. one provision adds insult to the injury of already-limited polling access and long lines by making it a crime to give food, or even water, to people on those lines waiting hours, often in the hot sun, to vote. president biden weighed in late today. calling the law an atrocity. >> any indications that it has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency. they passed a law saying you can't provide water for people standing in line while they are waiting to vote? you don't need anything else, to know that this is nothing but punitive design to keep people from voting. >> outside the signing ceremony last night, police arrested georgia state representative, park cannon, who was knocking on the door trying to get in. she is now facing two felony charges, which certainly says something. as does this photo, which came out today. take a hard look. a black lawmaker jus

anderson? >> gary tuchman, appreciate you being there. thank you. >>> perspective from infectious disease specialist. former covid adviser to president biden's transition team. dr. gander, we saw gary's piece. were you surprised by how many people chose to get the johnson & johnson vaccine? >> honestly, i was a little bit surprised just because there has been so much in the media about the efficacy of the johnson & johnson vaccine as compared to the others. and just to remind everyone, in terms of preventing hospitalization and death, all of the vaccines were 100% effective in clinical trials. so this is not an inferior vaccine. and if anything, we have in a sense more data on the johnson & johnson vaccine because it was tested in south africa, in latin america where the variants had emerged later in the pandemic, and we know that the vaccine remains effective in those settings. >> i do think that's one of the interesting things that's often overlooked about the johnson & johnson vaccine because the efficacy when it came to -- it is, corr

anderson, we should be having a discussion how to make it easier to vote. why don't we vote on saturday? why isn't voting a national holiday? why do we have 30 days of no excuse absentee voting with multiple drop boxes in every single county so everybody who wants to vote has an opportunity to vote? republicans saw what is it 160 million people come out to vote or nearly 160 million people? and they completely lost their mind. so i think that we have to do a better job of allowing as many people as possible to participate in a democratic process, not shrink the numbers. we're not having a conversation how to expand the electric, we're having a conversation how to shrink it. >> after an election that had historic turnout which is actually a good thing. it democracy at work. bakari, the u.s. house just passed a bill that would protect voting rights on the national level and entails a lot of voting access expansions that helped president biden win in 2020. where does that stand in the senate? i mean, the likelihood of it passing is, what, in the senate? >> i m

that's so scary, anderson. tell us more about how you were personally targeted by qanon. >> that man that dm'd me said he's not part of qanon but believes what they put forward and uses the qanon hash tag and said there should be military tribunal and then executions. there's a lot of a bizarre conspiracy and there's a lot of people who get sucked into it. there was a phony flight log of jeffrey epstein's airplane putt online. my name added to it some point. there's conspiracy theories that i am part of this trafficking ring. it's a really bizarre thing and there's no real way to fight against it because you can't prove a negative. it's a phony flight log that's been floating around but something that whoever's behind this theory and the other people who add to it they simply are resistant to any rational discussion of that man in particular, you know, he believes that president biden very likely has already been arrested, that washington is now a prison and why the national guard is there and executions will s

jim sciutto here sitting in for anderson. it is sad to think that this time last year george floyd had just two months left to live. two months later, his death caught on camera during an arrest by minneapolis police officers would shake the country, the world, it would send millions into the streets in the middle of a pandemic. that's how galvanizing, unifying it was. and how in the

i conditioned prove anything about you, anderson. all i know there are a lot of strange coincidences. all i know is that everybody who is high up should be shown to the world. the public execution. hillary should and executed live so that all of us can see the end of evil, and like i said, lesser people, we don't necessarily need to see it. someone who is not high up, i don't think we need to see it. >> and president obama, president biden. >> george bush. >> they should all be executed publicly? >> yeah, for sure. because they're part of this. >> later after the interview was done, he reached out to tell me they should all be tried in a military court before any executions. he said he's been opposed to the government for 15 years. while he says he's not a follower of q, he does use their slogans and hash tags and seems to believe most tof their conspiracy theories. >> i have seen you use hash tags for q, and slogans like the great awakening. you do believe there is a believe of democrats in deep state, and others who are satean wors

the book written by conservative scholar ryan anderson argues doctors are to quick to give children struggling with their gender is puberty blockers and surgery. the book was pulled the same day he wrote an op-ed against the equality act which passed last week from the u.s. house. >> it doesn't matter how charitable it is, it comes to a politically incorrect conclusion and that is what the activists on the left don't like about the book. >> not all transgender activists agree with amazon pulling the book, the doctor said it was not hateful and pulling it goes against free speech. >> the book is well-written and thought-provoking but it rehashes arguments that have been named for the last 50

anderson starts right now. >>> good evening. the alleged a atlanta mass kill is in custody tonight after shootings at three massage spas. police point to a sexual obsession and not racial, it's hard to ignore who was targeted and hard to ignore this did not happen in a vac cuum. a climate more conducive for generations of home grown acts of violent hatred but not everyone wants to confront the problem or even admit it. some people want to look away to not see the mass killings in el paso, pittsburgh, the rise in anti asian and driven mind set being cut from the same ugly cloth. today in the first congressional testimony since being confirmed dhs secretary made the connections and the threat clear. >> right now at this point in time, domestic violent extremism, the lone wolf, the affiliation of individuals following hate and other ideologies of extremism that are willing and able to take those ideologies and execute on them in unlawful, illegal violent ways is our greatest threat in the homeland right now. >> in that, and other v

anderson, we've seen how desperately they are continuing to cling to that lie. i think that director wray did a good job today in letting some of the air out of that balloon by saying very clearly there is no evidence to indicate the participation of any left leaning or antifa, an anarchists protesters in the riot. he was clear the fbi did not collect evidence of election fraud that would have undermined the results of the election. what we've seen over the last couple months this is not a group that embraces fact when it gets in the way of their preferred narrative. >> it seems like under the former administration there wasn't a lot of emphasis put on far right groups monitoring far right groups from an intelligence perspective and law enforcement perspective. correct me if i'm wrong about that or what you know about that. it is -- it surprised me that the fbi didn't have more information ahead of time about what some of these groups were up to. >> well, that's the best question right now anderson. based upon what director wray told us today, there are legitima
