WEBVTT - WHO WOULD ATTACK THE INAUGURATION?

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>The clot is taking down to the inauguration, and right

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>now across our country and of course in DC, everyone

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>is on high alert after the debacle, the attack on

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>our US Capitol by American citizens, not a threat from

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>overseas by American citizens. What will unfold God forbid tomorrow.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Take a listen to our friends at CBS. This is

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:46.639
<v Speaker 1>called an NSS or a National Special Security Event. This

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is the highest security designation that any event can have

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.880
<v Speaker 1>here in the United States, and security has led by

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the Secret Service. I've been covering these since two thousand

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and one, and what makes this different is the way

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>in which the secure purity footprint has been expanded around

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the capital and the number of days that security perimeter

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>is in place. And of course, as you see here,

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the very visible military security presence, up to twenty five

0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>thousand National Guard will be here in Washington. And the

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 1>objective of government officials is to create a deterrent, to

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>harden this target in order to give a disincentive to

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>those who might want to commit violence. On Wednesday, you

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>were hearing our friend Katherine Harritchet, CBSC, Senior Investigative correspondent,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>in preparation for tomorrow, this is what we don't want

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>to happen. Listen, you look at old this on You'll

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>just you know, want Jackie stop it. I can't stand

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>to hear it. Not a threat from abroad, our own

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>fellow Americans attacking our capital, the symbol of our government

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that we all believe in. Yes we question it, Yes

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 1>we may not like it sometimes, but it is our government.

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>With me right now and all start panel. First of all,

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.639

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>A very special guest joining me. Colin P. Clark, director

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>of policy research at the Sufan Group, focusing on domestic

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and transnational terrorism, international security, geopolitics, author of After the

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Caliphate at sufangroup dot com. And Scott Taylor, a national

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>award winning investigative reporter for WJLATV ABC seven in DC.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Scott Taylor, first to you, I understand there are more

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>National Guard, more troops in DC than there have been

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>since the Civil War. What does that feel like, Well,

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>it feels if you're in the Red Zone that you're

0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>basically in a prison dancy, and that's what I'm calling it,

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the red Zone. They've developed multiple boxes. You have to

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>go through multiple security and show credentials to get closer

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to the US Capitol where the riot happened, or the

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>White House, or even on the National Mall. We're talking

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>about fifteen plus city blocks. They started just with ten

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>last week and I went down there. Then they expanded

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to another five. That's really less than seven percent of

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>a city that has over seven hundred thousand people. But

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about seventy five streets that are closed, four

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>tunnels shut down, eight bridges. Most of the bridges closed

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.119
<v Speaker 1>this morning. The Key Bridge is one of the only

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>bridges you can go from Virginia into DC. Right now.

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.119
<v Speaker 1>They've got huge concrete barricades up and those checkpoints, and

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>what's really startling is the large dump trucks that they

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>have right in the middle of streets. And as you mentioned,

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>those twenty five thousand National Guardsman military vehicles assault rifles.

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I was just shocked. Nancy went in front

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 1>of a Starbucks. There was a National guardsman there with

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>an assault rifle in her tactical gear. Now, I do

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>want to mention if people are worried about some inside threat.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>The FBI they've been doing multi layer background checks on

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the soldiers and you can see the soldiers walking around.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>But after they passed that, they passed that layered background,

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they actually will get a special credential and don't have

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>to flash that too to get closer to the capitol

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>as well. Wow, Scott Taylor in the Thick of It,

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>joining is from DC WJLA TV ABC, And now to

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>our special guest, Colin P. Clark with the Sufan Group. Colin,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's wonderful to get to speak to you. I've

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 1>been so impressed with all you've had to say so

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 1>far regarding security in DC. After living through nine one

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 1>one in New York the morning of the attacks on

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 1>the World Trade Centers and investigating the bomb, I'm still

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>a prosecutor at the time at now Centennial Park during

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.320
<v Speaker 1>the Olympics in Atlanta. You know, I think I've seen

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>it all, but I haven't seen near what there is.

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>After that attack on our capitol, I was just stunned.

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I was left in tiers about how Americans could attack

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>our own capitol. Whether you disagree or agree with the election,

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>still I was stunned. What do you believe is the

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 1>single most devastating threat facing us for tomorrow? Oh, well,

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot, and thanks again for having me. I

0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 1>think you know, there's there's clearly a threat from domestic

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>terrorism that's been apparent to us in the counter terrorism

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>field for years. We've been, you know, attempting to kind

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>of raise the alarm bells, as it were. We've we've

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>produced numerous, you know, white papers and reports, and in

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>my community, weird, I'm just a trial lawyer. What do

0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you mean you've produced numors white papers? What's that? Sorry,

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>like a policy paper looking at what we think are

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the most pressing security issues for the United States of America. Now,

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>as you know in your reference nine to eleven, for

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty years, we've been narrowly focused on the

0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>threat from salafijihataest groups like al Qaeda, like ISIS, like

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 1>their respective affiliates around the world, and for good reason.

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.720
<v Speaker 1>We were hit hard at nine to eleven, and those

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>groups and very much still present a threat to global security. However,

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>We've done that at the cost of ignoring threats that

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>have been percolating on our own soil. We've now seen those.

0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of people said this is the

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>logical culmination of the last four years, but I disagree.

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 1>I actually think we're at the beginning of something. I

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>think we're potentially entering a golden age for domestic flat extremism.

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>You know just what I don't want to hear twenty

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>four hours before the inauguration of our new president. And again, Colin,

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I know you, but you don't know me. I'm not

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a Republican, I'm not a Democrat. I'm an American. I

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>frankly don't trust any politician. I think they're all lying.

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 1>So I cannot be accused of partisanship because I hold

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>them all in general contempt. But I tell myself an

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>equal opportunity hater, I don't want things to go wrong

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 1>at this inauguration. You know, we've heard so much about

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>how this makes us look abroad, this attack on the Capitol.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:56.520
<v Speaker 1>God forbid anything goes wrong tomorrow. That's not my main concern, Colin.

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not that concern about what some other country may

0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>think about the US. But my big concern is the

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>safety of everyone at the inauguration. So how does Biden

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and Harris get there? How are they going to get there? Well,

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I think so. We often said in my time at

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>their incorporation, where I spent ten years doing work for

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 1>numerous US government agencies, including the Department of Defense and

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the Intelligence community. We're not in the business of getting

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>bad people good ideas. So I'm a bit hesitant to

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about, you know, exact plans writing. We've already seen

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>in the forensics of what happened at the Capitol. Individuals

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 1>were mapping out and planning what they sought to do,

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>So I think to go into specifics on that would

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>probably be irresponsible. Tell me this column. Are there underground tunnels?

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Very likely? I don't know, And I'm curious. Do you

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.280
<v Speaker 1>think Biden and Harris will go on there the regular

0:08:56.400 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>walk to the White House in the open after the inauguration.

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'd be surprised that they did. There's

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot you mentioned, the deterrent factor and National Guards

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>out and force. There's a lot that you do see,

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's by design. There's also a lot that you

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>won't see, and that's also by design and that's important

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 1>to keep in mind as well crime stories with Nancy Grace. Guys,

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>so we are talking about the impending inauguration. Everyone is

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>setting a prayer and holding the breath that everything goes

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>off as planned tomorrow. Great, great security measures have been taken. Again.

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm Nancy Grace. Thank you for being with us here

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.599
<v Speaker 1>at Fox Nation in series M one eleven. Take a

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>listen to our friends at CBS. Based on a discussion

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I hit earlier today with the US government official. When

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>you look at these intelligence bulletins from FBI, DHS, other

0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 1>government agencies over the last ten days, there a single conclusion,

0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:04.680
<v Speaker 1>which is that the greatest threat to the inauguration doesn't

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>come from foreign terrorist organizations, but rather from domestic violent extremists.

0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 1>They use this law enforcement acronym DVSE. And what these

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>assessments point to is conditions that have created this environment

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>for violence. For example, the deep political divisions in this

0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>country and questions in some people's minds about the legitimacy

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>of the presidential election. Then there are racial overlays as well,

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>and then the ripple effect of the COVID nineteen desks

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and lockdowns, and the intelligence Bulletins assessed that this has

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>created the perfect environment for individuals who in the past

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>might have sat on the sidelines and not acted out,

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's allowed them, almost like fuel onto a fire,

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.680
<v Speaker 1>allowed them to cross that threshold to violence and act out.

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.239
<v Speaker 1>And I think what's most important is that these intelligence

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 1>assessments see the threat from domestic violent extremists or DVASE

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>really extending well beyond. January twentieth, to doctor Bethany Marshall,

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>psychoanalysts joining us from Beverly Hills, star of a new

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Netflix series Bleeding Empire, Doctor Bethany, the word that Catherine

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>just used emboldened. I believe this attack on the Capitol

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that has just gone down may embolden these DVEs domestic

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>terrorists essentially to act at the inauguration. And doctor Bethany,

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 1>you and I have talked about domestic terrorists and these

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 1>obscure fringe groups and many times, and I just always

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>had envisioned them as a bunch of drunk guys or

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 1>running through the woods on the weekend with their guns

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>in their hands and their shirts off, having a kegger. Essentially,

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 1>that's not what it is at all. And why is

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>she our friend from CBS, stating that the attack on

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol, amongst other things, emboldened people, may embolden people

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 1>to act out in a criminal way tomorrow. Nancy, there's

0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a copycat phenomena. I mean, emulating the behaviors of others

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>is such an important part of our development as human beings.

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>It's what allowed us to survive as a species. As children,

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we look to our parents, we emulate their behavior, we

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.400
<v Speaker 1>model ourselves after them. But unfortunately, like a cancer cell,

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 1>this has gone awry. From a social political perspective, where

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.959
<v Speaker 1>people who have a little grain of fear, which then

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>turns to anxiety and intolerance for ambiguity, then it turns

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to hate, then it foments as homicidal intent. They build

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>each other up, they share tips, they talk to each

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>other online, and they emulate each other's behavior. Look at

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the twelve step book group, look at AA. It may

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>seem like a silly example, but one of the things

0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 1>we know from a mental health perspective that helps people

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>stay sober or engage in good behavior is talking to

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>other people and emulating the behaviors of others. That's the

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:14.679
<v Speaker 1>number one healing. Basically, it's a practice we've learned since childhood,

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 1>since before we can remember prosecuting felonies. I always noticed

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>how the pet mentality would set in. Once one person

0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>did it, then everybody else would follow. That was of

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that friend of mine. But what's so amazing to me

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.160
<v Speaker 1>back to you, Colin pe Clark joining us from the

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Stufan group. Take a listen to our cut twenty seven

0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>seemingly ordinary people, not these friends group nuts that she

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 1>would expect to show up in full tactical gear, but

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>for us as a realtor. Listen. The documents include pictures

0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>showing a woman Investigators identified as Ryan from another angle.

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.079
<v Speaker 1>She circled in red, just inside the doors, holding up

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 1>her phone. Moments before the YouTube video ends, she says

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>this here, I'm not going any further. I don't need

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>to go. Father. Ryan has an active Twitter account. One

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.839
<v Speaker 1>tweet mentioned in the documents, posted just before six pm

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the day of the riots, reads quote, we just stormed

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the Capitol. It was one of the best days of

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 1>my life. You know what, it's just almost too much

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>for me to take kid to Scott Taylor, Award winning

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>investigative reporter at w j LATV ABC seven, They're in DC.

0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 1>You have to watch out not only for the so

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 1>called home grown terrorists that Colin P. Clark is telling

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>us about. You gotta watch out for the white bread

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>girl with the long blonde hair trying to plug her

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>realty business as she's storming the capitol. Yeah, y'a also

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 1>have to watch out for a mom and a son

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>who show up in DC. They're captured on video outside

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and inside the Senate chamber. Eric Munchell he's the son,

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and Lisa Eisenhart the mom. Eric is in court two

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>day this morning in DC. And you might remember, Nancy,

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 1>he was a guy who was in the Senate chambers

0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>with Zip Tie I believe it or not. And let

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 1>me tell you both were arrested in Tennessee. And I

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>don't understand a mom and her son doing something like

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>this together. I mean, how does a mother go along

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 1>and push her son, go along with her son to

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>commit a felony. Yeah, you know, Nancy, I think that

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 1>we've all sort of come to the consensus that when

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you are in the middle of a riot, a mob

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>mentality seems to take over your logic, your better judgment.

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 1>And when you talk about this copycat behavior, you know, Nancy,

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you and I have dealt for years with this, aske has,

0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:43.960
<v Speaker 1>doctor Bethany and some of our other guests. Takes a

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>combination sometimes of provocation and predisposition. It's a toxic combination.

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>But what you see here, when you have parents taking

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>their kids to a riot that's stilled into the Capitol,

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>has got to be more than that, because you can't

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 1>simply argue that anybody here was predisposed necessarily except that,

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you're taking this lesson from the rest

0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of them, Bob, which is the worst circumstances under which

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you can make a decision that has been life changing,

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately for so many of those protesters. Magic Colin P. Clark,

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>director of Policy and Research at the sifan group focusing

0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>on domestic and transnational terrorism. Take a listen to our

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>cut number fourteen and this is our friend Jeff Begauz

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>at CBS Niece. Listen. In all the chaos that day,

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:38.520
<v Speaker 1>someone stole a laptop from the House Speaker's office. Investigators

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 1>say they are looking for Riley June Williams, who was

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>now a Fusian court Papers show how investigators track the

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Pennsylvania women's movements all the way into Pelosi's office. They

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 1>also say that they got a tip that she intended

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to send the computer device to a friend in Russia,

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>who then planned to sell it to Russia's Foreign intelligence service,

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>but that through to Colin P. Clark, right, the SI

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.679
<v Speaker 1>fan group. Colin here, you've got this girl, by the way,

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.639
<v Speaker 1>she was just arrested running from her mommy's house, willing

0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:16.880
<v Speaker 1>to sell or give Nancy Pelosi's laptop to the Russians.

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>How do you prepare for somebody like her, Colin Tomorrow. Well,

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a couple of things to mention here. One, we've

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.159
<v Speaker 1>long known that the Russians has been a major counterintelligence threat,

0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.399
<v Speaker 1>so this, you know, actually runs in parallel with a

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of the analysis that we've producing. We've been producing.

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>The second part is it gives you some sense into

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.439
<v Speaker 1>what these people consider to be patriots. That's all I

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:42.320
<v Speaker 1>heard was I'm a patriot. Let's go patriots. They're actually

0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 1>attacking the US government and the capital and threatening to

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 1>hang the vice president. So in what world are these

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>people patriots? Nancy? You mentioned education before, you're talking about school.

0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I think what we've seen is a clear failing of

0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>the US education system. These people don't know basically history.

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 1>They have no idea what happened. They talk about the

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Second Amendment that they have no idea what the fifth

0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and seventh Disinesses aren't constitutional scholars, and I don't blame

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:10.399
<v Speaker 1>them for that. I don't fall them for that. But

0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 1>they're learning history through means, and that's really dangerous and

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing the result of that when you know, when

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 1>they use this type of rhetoric, crime stories with Nancy Grace,

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 1>guys countdown to the inauguration, and whether you love him

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:44.440
<v Speaker 1>or hate him, Biden is our president now, so get

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:50.040
<v Speaker 1>in line, fall in line. That's the deal. The behavior

0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 1>at the US capital will not be tolerated with me

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>an all star panel to figure out how we're going

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 1>to protect the inauguration. Take a listen to Tom Lama's

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a BC. Thousands of National Guard troops are on duty

0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 1>in Washington. By Wednesday, there will be twenty five thousand troops.

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Four bridges into the city will be closed, the streets

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are deserted, storefronts are boarded up, Much of the National

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Mall is closed. The FBI saying that last week's attack

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>likely emboldened domestic extremists, and tonight a new arrest. Media

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:27.439
<v Speaker 1>personality Tim Jeannette, known as Baked Alaska, allegedly spotted on

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 1>video inside the capitol chanteam quote, patriots are in control.

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>And Jenna Ryan, the Texas real estate broker who flew

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.919
<v Speaker 1>to DC in a private plane, now asking for a pardon,

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.800
<v Speaker 1>saying she doesn't feel guilty because she thought she was

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>following the president. And it's not just Washington on alert tonight,

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>at least ten states activating the National Guard. You know

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 1>what I hate, Colump Clark and Scott Jail. I don't

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>want everybody Doctor Bethany Wandy Patrick to weigh in on

0:19:53.840 --> 0:20:00.640
<v Speaker 1>this is the categorizing of these criminals that attacked Capitol,

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 1>categorizing them as what was said going out to they'll

0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>go home and eat it olive garden and stay at

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>the holiday inn, suggesting that they're what lower middle class

0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>an educated number one. I really resent that because my

0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>dad and mom struggled their whole life to help us

0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 1>get through college and graduate school and more graduate school,

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and there's no way to categorize who these people are.

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:45.160
<v Speaker 1>More importantly, forget about might hurt feelings? What about the inauguration?

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Columpy Clark, who are these people? That are joining together

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:53.639
<v Speaker 1>to try to thwart our country. You've got this realtor,

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you've got to judge his son, You've got that idiot

0:20:56.760 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>baked Alaska. People from all walks of life joining together

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to attack our country. How can you prepare for that tomorrow?

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 1>It's difficult. And I've also, you know, heard these people

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.160
<v Speaker 1>referred to as rubs and rednecks and you know, all

0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>sorts of it's not I think what it shows you

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:20.719
<v Speaker 1>is that the what what what I would call the

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 1>far right, far right extremists of this country. And that's

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 1>a very broad tent, to very broad umbrella, and there's

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.600
<v Speaker 1>numerous subcategories in there, and we could talk about any

0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.920
<v Speaker 1>of those. But I think at any you know, since

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.440
<v Speaker 1>since at any point in recent memory, this this movement

0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>has become more diversified geographically, uh, socioeconomically, and demographically. And

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>I think what we saw, you know, the capital was

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.399
<v Speaker 1>a cross section of people from the United States, and

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, we also we've been having this

0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 1>discussion and it would be disingenuous if we didn't mention

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the role of the president, because the president has falsely

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 1>claimed the election was stolen. He's refused to concede, and

0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 1>he's cast a Biden inistration is illegitimate, which it's not.

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 1>And he essentially has been the main provocateur firing these

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 1>people up and unleashing them. So well, you know, that's

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 1>an interesting thing. And I'm more concerned about the security

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>of the inauguration and the president elect than I am

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:18.919
<v Speaker 1>about who did what. But as far as stirring up

0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the seemingly normal citizens to attack our capital. But I

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>do know this, Wendy Patrick, California Prosecutor. I kept waiting

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to see if there was evidence of election fraud, because

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 1>if there was, I get the anger. But I never

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 1>saw any substantial evidence to show me there was election fraud.

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't dismiss it out of hand. I waited to

0:22:51.640 --> 0:22:54.560
<v Speaker 1>see it. I never saw it. But the other thing

0:22:54.840 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 1>beyond that, Wendy Patrick, mind control. That doesn't hold up

0:23:01.520 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 1>in a court of law. You can't say I storm

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:10.199
<v Speaker 1>the capital because I thought he told me too. No,

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:14.120
<v Speaker 1>that is not legal defense under the law. No, it's

0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 1>not a legal defense. And you wonder whether or not

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>it was ever intended to be put forth as a

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 1>legal defense. It sounds more like people's emotions got the

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:24.119
<v Speaker 1>better of them. And they did things they knew they

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:27.719
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't have done, which is a very interesting component to

0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the point that we're making about there being no demographic

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 1>profile for the types of people that did this. That

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.439
<v Speaker 1>is why we monitor social media and digital chatter as

0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 1>much as we do, because you couldn't have picked these

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.000
<v Speaker 1>guys out of a crowd. There is nothing at their backgrounds,

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:44.360
<v Speaker 1>their history, their socioeconomic status that you would have thought

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 1>would have predisposed them to do what they did, certainly

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>not some claim of a mind control. So you're right, accountability,

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>isn't that what we're now seeing? And all of that

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 1>footage that we collected is now leading to arrest the

0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 1>site hardening Nancy that's going on today. I hope to

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 1>God we'll have a peaceful transition tomorrow so we're not

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:06.120
<v Speaker 1>in the position of doing the same thing after the inauguration.

0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 1>Scott was that Colin or Scott? This is Scott Scott.

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I was just going to you about the bridge is

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.359
<v Speaker 1>closing and the tunnel's closing, because I know how that

0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 1>felt in New York after the attack. I couldn't leave.

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>The planes weren't working unless I wanted to walk home

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>to Georgia. I was stuck. Now tell me that and

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:32.640
<v Speaker 1>other measures taken and whatever you were going to jump

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:34.879
<v Speaker 1>in with, go ahead. I wanted to jump in first

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know when that all happened. I mean,

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I was in DC on January sixth, and there was

0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.560
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of thousand, one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand and

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty whatever the group was, not everybody stormed in there.

0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:50.680
<v Speaker 1>UM and we all know that, UM, and the FBI

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 1>is going through and picking out the people. We've been

0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:58.159
<v Speaker 1>doing that at WJLA identifying. We've identified about seventeen people

0:24:58.200 --> 0:25:01.240
<v Speaker 1>through social media. But but I want to mention that

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you got to wonder how organized any of these groups are,

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.239
<v Speaker 1>or if there are groups who showed up there, and

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 1>if they're talking on social media. But one thing I

0:25:10.720 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 1>do know for certain, the National Park Police Nancy have

0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 1>curtailed the amount of permits it's issuing due to the

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.879
<v Speaker 1>security lockdown. In twenty sixteen, when I was here, there

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>was sixty groups out on the streets of protesting, and

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>there were permits that were issued and there were skirmits

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 1>ships between police and protesters. Right now, there's only two

0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>groups who are applied for permits officially, and only two

0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have been approved. They have to go through security, they

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:41.320
<v Speaker 1>only can have about one hundred people and no interaction

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 1>with each other. So I think they're trying as much

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 1>as possible to keep a lid on any organized group protests.

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Back to Colin P. Clark, I know you're holding your

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 1>cards closed to the vast director policy research sufon group. Colin,

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:06.840
<v Speaker 1>how can you catch these people online so called chatter? Well,

0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it's difficult. I mean there's you know, civil liberties and

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:13.840
<v Speaker 1>First Amendment protections that American citizens have, and so that's

0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a mind field to navigate. On top

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of that, we don't have a Domestic Terrors and Statute

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>in this country. That's something that may change in a

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Biden administration. But there's a lot of issues there as

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:27.280
<v Speaker 1>well of you know, concerns. The reason we don't there

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.560
<v Speaker 1>are you know, kind of well tread and including concerns

0:26:30.600 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 1>over you know, the president, any president. I'm not talking

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:38.120
<v Speaker 1>specifically about President Trump, but certainly would include him going

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>after political rivals, right, And so that's why we don't

0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 1>have one. Now, there's a bunch of other options on

0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:46.639
<v Speaker 1>the table, including making domestic terrors in a federal crime.

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>What we need to do is we need to give

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:53.200
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement more tools and more resources to combat this threat.

0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:57.480
<v Speaker 1>We talked just before about you know, this being loosely organized.

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>It's highly decentralized. But within this broader movement there are

0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 1>organized groups. There are official malicious there's the Oath Keepers,

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>there's the Three for Centers. You know, there's white supremacist

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 1>groups like Adam woffin the Base and others. So we

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 1>know that these groups exist. We now have to have

0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the potable will to go after the crime. Stories with

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Nancy Grace. Guys, we are talking about the inauguration going

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:42.120
<v Speaker 1>down twenty four hours and counting. Right now, the entire

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:45.760
<v Speaker 1>country on high alert after the attack on our capitol.

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Straight back out to Scott Taylor joining us from ABC

0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 1>seven w j LA. Colin Clark playing it close to

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the vest about how the president and the vice president

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>elects are going to be protected. But what do you know.

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I understand they're going to be using underground tunnels, bulletproof glass,

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 1>a section cordoned off. There's not going to be a

0:28:08.720 --> 0:28:13.400
<v Speaker 1>huge mall full of people right now. That mall has

0:28:13.480 --> 0:28:19.159
<v Speaker 1>been planted with hundreds and hundreds of flags. What else

0:28:19.200 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>are the protective measures that you know off Scott, Well,

0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:25.479
<v Speaker 1>I want to make a point real quick, Nancy. You know,

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the security level just rose today. We're not talking about today,

0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:33.360
<v Speaker 1>and the reason why I say that is because President LEC.

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Biden and Vice President Elect Harris are arriving today in DC.

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>So security has stepped up. And I also want to

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.760
<v Speaker 1>mention that we talked about how is President Luc Biden

0:28:43.880 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 1>getting to DC? Well, he usually, you know, Nancy, would

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 1>take a train. He's done that for years from where

0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>he lives into DC. That's been canceled due to security reasons.

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to go into exactly how he's getting

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>here either, but I do know tonight he and President

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>elect Vice President Harris is going to be attending a

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>national Mall ceremony to honor COVID victims. So security jumped

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 1>up sky high today as we head into tomorrow and

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow you mentioned that's all the security that's going on,

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and I think what's really important is to talk about

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do a lot of this virtually, You're

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>not going to see everything like you usually do, and

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>that's due to the security concerns in DC today and

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow Colin py Clarks, fine, group, the president can't hide.

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 1>He cannot hide. He's got to be out there. There's

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>no way he can hide, right, So I don't think

0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:45.520
<v Speaker 1>he should hide. I think, you know, I'm actually just

0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>seeing this on Twitter news from a colleague of mine

0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>who lives on Capitol Hill. If there's a bomb threat

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:54.640
<v Speaker 1>just today and that people are being asked to stay

0:29:54.640 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>inside while the FBI investigate a suspicious staffish. Yesterday we

0:29:58.320 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 1>had a fire, Yeah, Colin, we had that fire yesterday,

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's one really good security test. They were practicing

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the inauguration ceremony and cleared everybody out within minutes and

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 1>it ended up being a fire a gentleman in a

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>homeless encampment. But that was a really good test. Now

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 1>quickly they moved everybody out and into secure bunkers. But

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about today as well, just as of twenty

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:26.600
<v Speaker 1>minutes ago, another bomb threat on Capitol Hill. So you know,

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 1>people are tense and on edge, and you know, things

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:33.360
<v Speaker 1>that might be considered normal and ordinary circumstances are going

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:35.480
<v Speaker 1>to be treated much differently now and for the next

0:30:35.480 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. Colin Clark, exactly my point, Doctor Bethany Marshall.

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>There was a time where the people that broke into

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:52.360
<v Speaker 1>attacked our capitol may have gotten a slap on the wrist. Okay,

0:30:53.680 --> 0:30:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we can do that. I would have

0:30:56.760 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>done it to start with. But for instance, whoever called

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>in a bomb threat that Colin P. Clark just told

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 1>us about the fire as it turned out, and the

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:10.200
<v Speaker 1>recent hours turned out to be not a threat. But still,

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:14.320
<v Speaker 1>whoever is calling in a bomb threat. Everyone that takes

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a single action against this inauguration must be charged to

0:31:18.440 --> 0:31:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the fullest extent of the law. There's got to be

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a deterrent. Well, you know, Nancy, Colin P. Complete Clark

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>has been studying this for years, but now we're getting

0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.120
<v Speaker 1>a lesson as a nation and how serious all of

0:31:31.120 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>these attacks are, the motivations for the attack, and you've

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:38.880
<v Speaker 1>been framing it as criminal, and it is absolutely true.

0:31:38.920 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like the Me Too movement. You know, people who

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 1>aggressed against women, you know, two decades ago, got a

0:31:44.560 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>slap on the wrist. Well, now we see it for

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.920
<v Speaker 1>what it is, this predatory behavior. We have reframed our

0:31:49.960 --> 0:31:54.040
<v Speaker 1>thinking and it's the same with domestic terrorism. This term

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:56.720
<v Speaker 1>has been thrown around again and again. What is a

0:31:56.800 --> 0:32:00.200
<v Speaker 1>domestic terrorist. It's not just somebody who is standing on

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the White House lawn and got caught up in the

0:32:02.600 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 1>crowd and then oops, I just you know, put my

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 1>foot through the front door just to see what was

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.040
<v Speaker 1>going on inside. Know, these these are people who had

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>intent and nancy. This is not a low socio economic group,

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:19.480
<v Speaker 1>as some of the reporters have been saying. These are

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the people who had the wherewithal to get on a bus,

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 1>get on a plane. They have computers, they have arms,

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 1>they have they have means to congregate. Our immigrants are disenfranchised.

0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>People were not in that crowd. Lower socio economic people

0:32:35.720 --> 0:32:39.720
<v Speaker 1>were not in that crowd. These were people of privilege

0:32:39.840 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>with homicidal intent. I want to follow up on what

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 1>you say with Colin Clark, the need for pseudo intellectuals

0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to classify them, to categorize them as unintelligent, uneducated, low income.

0:32:57.160 --> 0:33:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess crowd somehow it minimizes, it minimizes the danger

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>because you've got people with college degrees with five figure

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe six figure incomes that are attacking our country. And

0:33:17.960 --> 0:33:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the problem calling we can't pick him out of a crowd.

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>In the past, you may have thought, well, they're a nut.

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:25.320
<v Speaker 1>They're a right wing nut, you know, they're they're a

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 1>militia person in quoties. It's turned dangerous now, Colin, what

0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:35.280
<v Speaker 1>can we do? Colin Well, I mean it makes sense

0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:37.600
<v Speaker 1>for people to look for a typology, right, because it

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:41.040
<v Speaker 1>gives them comfort. You know, we've long struggled with this

0:33:41.080 --> 0:33:44.320
<v Speaker 1>issue in the United States. It's why we named you know,

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:46.800
<v Speaker 1>after nine eleven, we called it the Global War and terrorism.

0:33:46.800 --> 0:33:49.760
<v Speaker 1>We want to simplify things. It never made sense because

0:33:50.080 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 1>what is war against a technic? Right? In World War Two,

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:55.680
<v Speaker 1>we didn't declare wargans blitz creed. So we try to

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:58.160
<v Speaker 1>simplify things. We try to make sense of them as humans.

0:33:58.480 --> 0:34:01.160
<v Speaker 1>As social scientists, we try how to do the same thing.

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>But what we fail to understand is that there's no

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 1>silver bullet. There's no one size fits all for the

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 1>radicalization process. And that's what we've seen happen in this country.

0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 1>We've seen individuals radicalize, and that happens for all different reasons. Uh.

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:17.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, people want to mock the fact that, oh

0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 1>that that doesn't look like economic anxieties. I mean, she

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>took a personal jet there, right, that lady's not suffering

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>from economic anxiety. But I also think it's uh, you know,

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:29.120
<v Speaker 1>we can't just dismiss this as the emotions got the

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>better of them. You know, my emotions get the better

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 1>of me. I don't storm. You know, the US capital,

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:37.479
<v Speaker 1>they committed an active insurrection, So you know the fact

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:39.280
<v Speaker 1>that they were there in the first place and willing

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to break the law, you know, they should be punished.

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's one thing that we need to

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>see in this country is accountability. We often see it

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.719
<v Speaker 1>at the lower levels. We rarely see it at the top.

0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:53.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not only in the government. It's on Wall Street,

0:34:53.960 --> 0:34:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it's in Hollywood, it's it's elsewhere. So without accountability, we

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.799
<v Speaker 1>won't be able to stem the flow of what comes. Yeah, dude,

0:35:00.800 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 1>that's what predisposition comes in. You know, I mentioned both

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:06.680
<v Speaker 1>provocation and predisposition. These people showed up at a rally

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 1>in riot gear. That's what you and I and other

0:35:09.880 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>prosecutors would call intent. They didn't intend to go someplace

0:35:14.000 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 1>in peacefully protest. They intended not just to be vocal,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>but to be violent. That would be the argument that

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:22.399
<v Speaker 1>is being used to prosecute some of these people. Now yes,

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 1>clearly intent. And on that same note, Wendy Patrick, California

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:31.960
<v Speaker 1>prosecutor at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com. Wendy, I have

0:35:32.080 --> 0:35:37.000
<v Speaker 1>said repeatedly that the people that stormed the capital should

0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:42.320
<v Speaker 1>be charged with felony the cause of that officer, Sicknick

0:35:42.760 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 1>is dead. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's felony murder. They're

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in the commission of a felony. He's killed. That's the

0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>textbook definition of felony murder. And that seems to be

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:56.319
<v Speaker 1>what prosecutors are agreeing they're going to do, because that's

0:35:56.360 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>exactly right. A crime, a murder committed in the commission

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of certain enumerated felonies makes it felony murder. And that's

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a significant because you don't have to have intended for

0:36:07.040 --> 0:36:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the person to die to be guilty under that theory, Nancy,

0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and that's exactly what prosecutors are looking at in connection

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>with the death of the Capitol policeman. You're so right. Tomorrow,

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>everyone the country on edge as we approach the presidential inauguration.

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Regardless of which side of the fence you stand on,

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:35.439
<v Speaker 1>we all agree on one thing. God bless America. Nancy Grace,
