the fbi has evolved. to a certain extent but unfortunately one of the things that made me realize that when i was writing this book that i was on the right path was i saw in the new york times where there were 15 or 16 women who had filed a lawsuit. this was in 2019 had filed a lawsuit against the fbi because their firearms instructors at quantico were trying to sabotage their training. 2019 so i thought to myself has it changed really i mean has it. yes, there are more women in leadership positions, but i think that there's in the fbi. it's it's still inherently male-dominated. and you know, i think that unfortunately a lot of the negative media that the fbi is getting is warranted, especially when it comes to those young women those young gymnasts who went to the fbi to talk about their sexual assault and they were ignored. i personally think and this is just my opinion. it's not the opinion of the fbi. they were ignored because they were young women. so what i do now, i have gotten so many emails from

fbi always gets involved initially. as i said before, if he's using -- if the perpetrator here is using a phone or another instrumentality or facility of interstate commerce in furtherance of his crime that makes it federal kidnapping. for example, if he's using the phone to convey a demand at this lady al qaeda be released, that will get you federal kidnapping. even though there is no domestic terrorism statute, because of federal definition of domestic terrorism that would include basically coercing the united states to release lady al qaeda from custody so there are all kinds of ways the federal government can be involved. jon: what about a weapon? we been told is on, he claims he's armed but we haven't confirmed that there is a weapon involved. if there is no weapon involved, is it still kidnapping? >> yes, the kidnapping doesn't require a weapon, it just requires the person being kidnapped not be there voluntarily. the punishment for kidnapping is so high that you don't need to worry about the element of whether or

epps an agent of the fbi, informant of the fbi? she stonewalled, refused to answer. we know the fbi put them out on the list of people we wanted information about and immediately disappeared. i need to be transparency and n administration needs to fess up in a politicized law enforcement did they actively encourage and solicit illegal -- >> sean: that doesn't reveal sources and methods. with all that videotaped evidence that you mentioned there, that would be somebody that would be a leader and agitator in something that can never happen again. just like the riots in the number of 2020 and can happen again. i like to see that. why can't they just definitively say absolutely not and that wouldn't be a person of interest, they originally did say that. why did they back off that? >> they should be able to say that. law enforcement all the time has undercover officers. that's not unusual. what is unusual, what is illegal, is where those undercover officers to actively incite illegal conduct. if you and i go out to dinner and i'm undercover against you, that's fine. i can

disguised as genuine fbi e-mails. in short we are at a tipping point as cyber attacks have become more common and potentially more damaging. several recent attacks have used a type of malicious software known as ransomware, which incrypts a victim's system and demands a payment in exchange for restoring access or refraining from publishing stolen data. this is especially dangerous because it can shutdown an entire system and can cause chaos in a community, an industry or even an entire country. and cyber criminals are now demanding and receiving more money than ever. the march cna financial and insurance company reportedly paid the largest known ransom payment ever and in may ransomware criminals attacked the colonial pipeline resulting in the shutdown of more than 5,500 miles of gasoline pipeline spanning from texas to new jersey and causing temporary gas shortages up and down the east coast. the cost to unlock the system was $4.4 million. also in may jbs foods, one of the largest meat suppliers in the united states,

these fbi hostage negotiators are very good at what they do, in each fbi field office, you have people who do their collateral duty, they go through specialized training to become certified to be these negotiators because when there is a situation like what we're apparently seeing now, they are providing their expertise. and this is a human business. again, you are dealing with people in these situations. sometimes they may not be stable, may have different views about how this situation might end, and you have a negotiator who will try to maybe convince them that it is in their best interest to maybe go a different way, that the first thing to do is set up that line of communication, and what is important to understand, though, and as julia was just mentioning is that that can all change in an instant, and that's why you have law enforcement resources that are brought in from local officials, from all of the alphabet soup of agencies that are within that vicinity that are responding not necessarily to that building but setting up a perimeter and staging resources because again, if the

i am in charge of the fbi of dallas. i am flying here with my federal partner, atf and texas dps and colleyville police department. today's results which was four hostages and the situation resolved was really a resulted of a long day of hard work by merely 200 law enforcement officers from across the region, local officers across the region. as the chief mentioned north richland hills and fbi and texas dps who you see all over this town today. i would like to highlight a couple of things. we used the north tarrant regional s.w.a.t. team who started the engagement here in the morning. transitioning into dallas fbi s.w.a.t. team and to the dallas rescue team. as chief miller says, our team is one of the crown jewels, their mission is to conduct and deliver and rescue hostages when necessary. we had a necessaity for that. i am extremely proud of the team and negotiators, fbi agents and local police officers who worked all day long and engaged in the subject and likely save the lives through the engagement. it's likely that

this is a common fbi investigation. so they are working through information that they have about this individual. this video claims to be a certain person and so because they are working through that, they have yet to confirm definitively that this is in fact the person who they think they're dealing with. so that is significant for them. because then, it takes this investigation into different directions. are they just dealing with someone who's upset about something? are they dealing with a hate crime? something that's related to terrorism? these are all the things that the fbi is trying to figure out at this moment, but the priority, the number one priority obviously is to get the hostages out and end this peacefully and so that is what the fbi is concentrating on and they're out there working this, trying to really figure out definitively who this person is because it will take this investigation into different directions and that itself could be very significant, also, jim. >> absolutely, shimon. let me bring in th

is not in the hands of the fbi or local police? >> my guess it's in evolving situation, i'm not sure who is communicating directly, whether they are directly communicating at all right now so i don't think i can answer that. jon: bigger picture, it's a sad time in this country when houses of worship, synagogues and churches have to be worried and very often armed security patrolling at religious services. >> we've been through this in texas before, we had a mass shooting. it's always encouraged if you can have law enforcement, at least people with the ability to fight back if something like this occurs. churches should be repaired because this is not a one-time situation, it's happened numerous times in texas and we lost lots of lives in cases just like this. jon: we are looking at some of the video of some of the responding vehicles, the s.w.a.t. team is providing. they are staying quite a ways away, you don't want to provoke the sky into doing something stupid and potentially fatal. you want to use phones and try to negotiate bes

as to how many fbi agents were present at the capitol on january 6th. the public needs to have its trust restored and that requires transparency, but that may require even more drastic measures taken by the right person in the white house to say that i actually sometimes when an institution has outlived its purpose we need to create a new one to take its place. i think we are at that moment to have a conversation about the fbi today, and i think that will take its place. and the idea is that community activist in their and social workers, not that there's not room for some extra voices but, that's what we need to do. and are we ready to take those steps? you ask a lot of great questions. >> vivek: let's have a conversation. thank you, yeah. >> emily: and i think the questions americans have for that fbi leadership, those of the topics that eclipse that amazing work. in the realm of sex trafficking and child kidnapping and traffic agents like eddie fryer who have made history and done so much good, globally, truly, from their work with the fbi. but situa

the fbi special agent came out. immediately, atf, fbi, texas public safety, and all of our local partners all responded as well. we have had nothing but phenomenal support from our state and local law enforcement and federal partners. at some point in time during the times we were negotiating with the suspect for a period of time all day, constant communication with him, he did release one hostage in the middle of the incident. that hostage was not harmed and he was -- he's doing well now. the fbi called out the hostage rescue team, which is an elite hostage rescue force out of quantico, virginia. they immediately -- when they called they go on a plane and flew out here. i think they brought 60 or 70 people frommed with to come and help with the situation. some time around 9:00 p.m. today this evening, the hostage rescue team breached the synagogue. they rescued the three hostages and the subject is deceased. i'd like to think -- this is a success due to the partnerships we have with our local, state, and federal la

the fbi has excellent negotiators. so i am glad that they are communicating no one has been injured thus far. it is obviously good. because the safety of the halls is the first and most important thing as we watch this unfold. you know, if this guy's motive was just to kill, he would have done that already. so he is trying to negotiate, if it involves one person already in custody, obviously, this is going to take a little time. so i wouldn't be surprised if this particular negotiation went on for quite some time. earlier, it was mentioneded that he chose the location because it's near an airport. so that kind of tells you his thinking probably is right now in terms of being able to get out of there. but it's going to take some time. but they've got the very best there negotiating. we'll see how it unfolds. >> julia, what do you make of the reporting that ed brought to us and evan replicated in the tone of the hostage taker from the beginning to where he was ranting and screaming more than an hour in. again this was a

fbi investigators was were in contact. the other hostages ran from the synagogue and fbi armored vehicle got up to the building, there was a loud boom and brief gunfire. all hostages were safe and unhurt. the hostage taker was dead. >> like many hostage situations, those -- the relationship between the negotiators and the hostage taker kind of had flowed and got intense but these negotiators i'm telling you, i'm so proud of them, unbelievable work. >> president biden released a statement saying in part let me be clear to anyone who attends to spread hate, we will stand against anti-semitism and against the rise of extremism in this country. israeli prime minister netalib bennett put a tweet, i want to thank the law enforcement agencies for their swift reand craigous action that brought the hostages home safely to their loved ones and he also condemned anti-semitism. the fbi knows the identity of the man who took the hostages but they are not releasing it. they are still doing follow-up investigation trying to find out exac

that they could have said the fbi did nothing illegal, th fbi did nothing unethical, the fbi would never encourage any type of violence or participate in such, that would be a broad sweeping generalization without giving out any sources, methods or evidence whatsoever. why couldn't there be a blanket denial that that's not who we are, that's not how we act. >> there should have been, and if they were doing their jobs, that's what they would have said , but unfortunately under joe biden we have seen an incredibly partisan department of justice. and both the department of justice and the fbi have an arrogance that they are not accountable to anyone, they can stonewall so it should be very easy for the fbi to say no, no federal agents participated in violent crimes. no, no federal agents actively incited, encourage others, two, violent crimes. if they were doing their jobs, those would be very easy questions to answer. they refused to answer those an there is an element of arrogance , but we have to watch this in light of the last five years where we know the department of justice and the f

what if the fbi was involved? what if ray, and this man on the scaffolding and john sullivan and other bad actors like them, would've that caused a member of the press to get killed -- what if that had caused a member of the press to get killed? what kind of responsibly would you be placing on the fdr any kind of federal agency if the member -- if a member of the press had been killed that day because of violence that they had caused the action? this is a serious question. you will work here every single day just like we do. you walk these halls. this is the place where you gather information and do your job. so your safety was also at risk that day. if our federal government was involved in doing so, i think that is something that you should be very upset about. >> do you think the man that through the fire extinguisher was a federal agent? >> we are not here to litigate any particular case, we are no one's lawyer or advocate. we are here to speak to the conditions that existed on that day. to the civil rights of

and in the morning transition to dallas fbi s.w.a.t. team and hostage fbi s.w.a.t. team holding perimeter as chief miller said, fbi hostage rescue team are considered one of the jewels of the organization and mission is to conduct deliver house rescues whenever necessary and in this case, we had a necessity for that. and they were successful. very proud of them. i'm also extremely prods proud of the team and negotiators fbi agent and local police officers who woked all day long engaging subject and likely saved lives of the subjects just through their engagement it is very likely this situation would have ended very badly early on in the day and had we not had professional con sis tangt negotiation with the subject. i do not have any information right now that indicates that this is part of any kind of ongoing threat. we, obviously, have investigating we'll continue to investigate this -- hostage taker and continue to investigate his contacts and our investigation will have global reach. we have been in contact already with multiple fbi legals to include tel-aviv an

to the fbi. so, the fbi here obviously very concerned. authorities all across the country very concerned with this possible link to terrorism, so, that's why we're seeing all the stepped up security. but this certainly for the fbi takes this investigation in a different direction, because they're trying to figure out exactly what his connection is to this woman, to siddiqui. that's going to be something that needs to be figured out and they don't know. but it certainly escalates this, because now you have this link to terrorism here. we don't know how he got to the synagogue, we don't know how he got inside, so, there's still a lot of questions and i think it's really interesting that from everything we can tell, poppy, both evan perez and i, doesn't seem like the fbi has identified him yet and they're still trying to -- >> that's interesting. >> does not seem. i've been asking, evan's been asking, so, we still seem to think -- there's still some believe that they're having a hard time identifyin

the fbi and the texas department of public safety are assisting local police on the scene and fbi crisis negotiator has been in contact with the suspect. and explosives is assisting on live stream appeared to capture part of the incident as worshippers observed the sabbath. the white house is monitoring the situation in colleyville and police there are asking p public to stay away. with me now is shimon patriotic pose, julie, and josh campbell. rabbi stanton at st center fehr for learning and leadership. also with us is charles ramsey as well as cnn counterterrorism analyst, phil mudd. >> as we have been reporting, four hostages inside the synagogue. one of the hostages believed to be the rabbi. this took place during the service this morning in texas. this man walked in, there was some communication then took four people hostage. a lot of this was captured on the live stream that the police there were monitoring. they've learned a information. they've learned some names, they're trying to run it down and trying to figure out a motive. that seems to be going okay so far. we have no repor

we have andrew mccabe, former acting director of the fbi and former deputy director of the fbi with a background in counterterrorism and -- a political science professor whose team has spent much of the last year providing invaluable data analysis into what was on january 6. welcome to all. i thought we could jump right in by asking each of you briefly to tell us a year later, what is on your mind. why the topline threats you see. congressman, this was a tech -- an attack on your workplace. why don't you begin? >> thank you so much and thank you to the institute for having this important discussion. 2000 people bridge the capitol that day. it was a dark day for our democracy. my own particular situation, i will never forget the earsplitting sound of the capitol police banging violently on my door. and rushing me out of my office because they discovered a bomb 200 feet from my office window. i was evacuated twice that day, sheltered in place for about eight hours and emerged. obviously, five people were left dead, 150 law enforcement officers were attacked. we are still dealing with th

the only problem is ray epps is observed to the fbi on a silver platter. the fbi included him as one of the 20 most wanted people. they said please help us identify him. the internet identified him like two days later and the fbi has done nothing. and so it's really, i am at a loss for an innocent explanation for these discrepancies. >> tucker: can you imagine why someone like liz cheney but let's be honest, virtually every republican leader in congress has ignored this. why would they not want to get to the bottom of such an obvious and important question? >> well, because what the evidence suggests is arguably one of the biggest scandals in american history. left alone, january 6th is a big nothing burger but if it turns out that some of the key instigators in the key figures who played a role in turning this from a rally into a riot are actually informants of the government or even agents of the government, this is extremely damning to the elements of the government and it is completely destroyed it's a false narrative they are trying to engineer on the

. >> the fbi's hostage rescue team at quantico is a super s.w.a.t. team. that's a full-time job. they train extensively. they have all these specialty skills in plastic explosives, how to blow doors, how to do underwater demolition. they train with the military. >> facebook ultimately took down the live stream, but law enforcement officials tell us they were able to remain tuned in, in realtime after they accessed the synagogue's closed circuit tv feed. so they understood what was happening the entire standoff. >> from my window, i could see the s.w.a.t. teams coming in. you could see from back here s.w.a.t. members running around outside in the camouflage. >> there were kids that walked out. >> reporter: josh stevens is with the station wfaa in dallas. >> and then we walked all the way back down here. >> reporter: he ended up in his neighbor's backyards. as the s.w.a.t. team was being replaced with fbi agents. >> we hugged this treeline the entire time. >> reporter: why? >> safety, security, didn't want to be seen. >> reporter: for hours, the fbi te

this is a new fbi statement on that texas synagogue, "all of us at the fbi are relieved that a hostage situation in texas was resolved without physical. this is a terrorist related matter." i cover this last night and they were actually in the middle of doing this news conference. so i heard that they said that this was not an attack on the jewish community, yet in the facebook live stream anyone watching and it went on for quite some time, he was asking for the relief of the pakistani neuroscientist who was suspected of having al qaeda ties. what do you take of this that now going back on what they originally said? >> look, it makes you wonder what in god's name is going on with the fbi. when the fbi made that statement that this wasn't anti-semitic, for god sake, what were they looking at? i mean, the whole world saw this clearly a synagogue. it was in a mosque, it was in a local mcdonald's to take hostages. he could have found hostages anywhere. that was his goal. but he went to a synagogue on the sabbath well services were going on. so, the fbi positioned -- which by the way contra

and so too there was another book written on the history of catholics in the fbi. the other case that's left out is the is that book leads out to christian front? and so and so yes, unfortunately, this is the sad case but also it's a warning. i mean, i think i've written this book as a warning about how deeply grotesque the these principles can become if they're not if they're not viewed in a in a way that will lead to change. thank you. so ed ask was there any relationship between the christian front and the american first lindenberg movement? lindenberg. yeah, it's it's an obvious connection to make the answer to that is no, no captive tissue between the america first organization and no connective tissue between the ira either. that's a common question people have the reason for that is because father quaglin is a megalomaniac and his movement is all about himself and he is going to be the inspirational kind of headmaster of this of this organization. and so he doesn't allow any interlopers to to move in on his turf this christian front situation is is his own o

point-blank whether the fbi was involved. >> how many fbi agent for confidential informants actuall participated in the events of january 6? >> sir, i'm sure you can appreciate i can't go into the specifics of sources and methods . >> did any fbi agent agents for confidential informants actuall participate in the events of january 6, yes or no? >> i can't answer that. >> did any aphid ui agent or informants, crimes of violence on generator six? >> i can't into that, sir. >> did any fbi agent or fbi informant actively encourage an incite crimes of violence a on january 6? >> sir, i can't answer that. >> do you hear that? he asked, did any fbi agents or confidential informants, crimes of violence on generator six, that's what he asked in the obvious answer is are you kidding? of course the fbi isn't secretl committing crimes of violence, that's insane, where a federal law enforcement agency. next question, please. that's what she should have said , but that's not what, she said. instead she replied i can't answer that great of course jules sanborn can answer that and she should be for

new fbi, the old fbi responding to the scenarios and the negotiators and the hostage rescue capabilities and the evidence processing afterwards, versus sort of the d.o.j. bent towards right wing domestic terrorists, which seems to be where they are spring loaded to go these days. ignore the left wing domestic terrorists, international terrorism is not as much of a problem as it used to be, let's focus only on right wing domestic terrorism, and i hate to think the fbi is buffetted by the d.o.j., the agent work hard on the ground to get the good result and tainted by that. >> sandra: you are giving a lot of credit to the h.r.t., the rescue team, did a good job in this case. but you go on chris, i'll ask you the last question. why the building was assaulted and the subject killed when the hostages had already run out the back door into the arms of several h.r.t. operators. have you gotten answers to that? >> i have not. the rabbi mentioned he had thrown a chair, he saw his, sees seized the moment, threw the chair at akram and they ran out the door quickly. it could have been the h.r.t. deci

the fbi continues to negotiate with him. we will keep a very, very close eye on this and get back to it in just a moment. >>> but i do want to go now to another breaking story out of australia tonight. his legal team has wrapped up its side of the argument advocating djokovic be allowed to stay in melbourne and play in the open this week, and now the australian government is having its turn. our phil black is in melbourne. phil, good morning to you there. it's almost noon, and you've got the country's immigration minister saying that djokovic is a, quote, hero to ant vaccination groups and that's a big driver of why they're making the case he needs to leave the country. >> reporter: that's right, poppy. so the government's lawyer has described him as a hero, an icon, saying there's plenty of evidence online he is regarded as such even referencing specific online commentary, referencing what he describes as one influential commentator who has said at the moment djokovic is a political prisoner and commentary along the lines o

, can you ortalk about how you can work wh the fbi and also the conflict with the fbi? >> thank you, there are issues as with any organization, i've spent a lot of time over the last few weeks, i've been tremendously impressed with their quality and dedication, they are good people and that is the key. when you have good people one te team about the team can succeed. it's had headwinds for number of reasons, they've largely had acting leadership which is a problem, not anybody's fault, it just happened in a variety of things happened that made things difficult but the makings of a strong team and operation are there and they are doing great things now. in terms of the work with the fbi, it's an important issue and whenever, when you look at the intelligence enterprise in our government, they are intentionally not clearly -- there should always be overlap between agencies but you have to keep a focus, because you don't want overlap to been duplication or even worse, confusion because the agencies are working in the same space with a different analysis, it confuses the cu

fbi. >> thank you, mr. chairman. look, there are issues with ina as there are with any organization, i just want to say i spent a lot of time with the folks over the last few weeks and tremendously impressed as i said in the remarks with the quality and dedication. they're good people, and that's the key. when you have good people on the team, the team can succeed. it's had headwinds for a number of reasons, largely acting leadership which is a problem, you know, that's not anybody's fault that's just happened. and then variety of things have happened that have made it, you know, made things difficult. but the makings of a strong team and strong operation are there and they're doing great things now. in terms of specifically the work with the fbi think i think that's an important issue, and when you look at the intelligence enterprise in our government, the lines, very intentionally, are not clearly delineated, there's overlap, should always be some overlap between the agencies but you don't want it to mean

i understand the pace of the fbi's investigation now. i don't have too many concerns about how they are doing that. that's what the fbi does better than any organization on earth. these massively complicated abroad scoped investigations, but my concerns are more what has the fbi done to look back and uncover exactly how it was caught short last year. i know from my own experience and having done that everything after the fort hood shooting to the boston marathon attack, that is an essential piece of maintaining your ability to protect the country. go back and uncover what you might have missed and how you change the work going forward. for me the biggest question right now is why we haven't heard more about that from the fbi. so i think it's a great time to think about these things and talk about them with a group like this. you have been digging into the numbers behind us. i honored to be part of the panel and i've respected all the other panelists. it's a big honor for me personally. we are facing the most strenuous test of our democra

so the fbi has to take that into consideration. but some -- what they're doing is they're dealing with a psychological profile, arthel. so when i say that, they know that he loves his family because he's spoken about his family. they know that he loves his children, because he's spoken about his children. so there is that possibility while they may not let him speak to the sister, that they may let him speak to one of the family members who he loves to see about bringing this to a peaceful solution. arthel: that's right. the brother in houston, who's an architect according to the report. and, again, his children, as you said. they have already, you know, they don't have access to one family member who is incarcerated right now, lady al-qaeda. so then you also have this guy who can, you know, as we've been talking, this guy can walk away from this situation. he may not go home today, but he can walk out of this situation alive. and maybe they -- and that's what negotiators are hoping for, to leapt this guy know that that's what we w
