if you are in antifa. this is a movement that has been around since the 1980's and came up out of punk. there are a couple of scholars who have been studying them for quite some time. i have reached out to them, including one of them who has self identified as antifa. this is back in 2017. when we were started to see a lot of clashes between antifa adherents and groups like the patriot player in seattle, in berkeley, in portland, clashing in the streets. the other thing is because this isn't a group with a hierarchy or a leader a lot of the , organization is done spontaneously, and through twitter. so as a movement was beginning to grow in 2016, 2017, 2018, i followed quite a few of the twitter accounts and contacted them that way. i will just say, some of my facebook friends have identified as antifa. it is a pretty broad base. >> from those conversations and the people you follow, can you give us any sense of the demographics of the adherents? jillian: it is primarily a white movement, young, and left-le

i thought this morning that seattle and portland and denver may have been antifa's response to having their feelings hurt because they earned the right to be considered terrorist extremist group and the fact the left refuses, you will notice now that trump is gone we didn't suddenly get peace, you had antifa out there saying they despise joe biden, they hate joe biden, don't regard them as legitimate so people should be worried about america. >> a biden facing backlash were tougher stance on immigration as a second migrant caravan is expected to leave the united states soon, dhs puts apart on deportation and it all comes after president biden signed an executive order demanding a stop to border wall construction. white house press secretary jen psaki says walls don't work. >> the last four years the immigration policy has been based on funding for a wall. that is not worked even to keep the country safer, to keep bad actors out. >> but acting customs and border protection commissioner mark morgan disagrees that is blasting the press secretary for her remarks. >> the press secretary ju

ongoing violence and even scornl from radical antifa and anarchists. lawlessness and anarchy come at great expense. and with great risk to the future of our community. it's time to push back harder against those who are set on destroying our community. brian: really? that is governor ted wheeler -- excuse me mayor ted wheeler of portland calling out antifa because they destroy stuff. tens of thousands of dollars over 200 days of protest. he used to praise them, ehe assuaged them and now he condemns them. too late. let's bring in jason rantz saw a series of riots in seattle. this is another example of pandering to anarchists. what does it get you, jason? >> it gets you the position that ted wheeler finds himself in. he realized he created these monsters. he acquiesced to them for so long. he realized that maybe, just maybe, that was the wrong were strategy to take and now he has decided hey maybe i need to step it back. we saw leaders all across the country, not just in portland and ceilings but we saw it in new york, los angeles, minneapolis, and kenos

then once it happens, they say, oh, no, it's antifa. this was a story in the conservative washington times paper. based on like some very shady sourcing involving a little known facial recognition company. they claim they recognized members of antifa in the crowd. they didn't show any pictures. then matt gaetz gets on board, mo brooks, and laura ingraham. check it out, this lie goes everywhere, and the company that supposedly came up with this technology says this story is totally fake, and as of tonight, the "washington times" has deleted the story and added a correction. >> yeah, of course they will because they have to worry about lawsuits. more to the actual people, the woman who was killed in the capitol who was climbing through one of the windows and was shot presumably by police. police have now put the officer on sort of desk duty in the meantime. she embraced conspiracy theories. her name was ashli babbitt. 35 years old. she tweeted about pizza gate. he tweeted thousands of tweets to fox news hosts. he engaged in social media w

he works with an antifa cell in arkansas, very big antifa in arkansas. "the washington post" went through his facebook page. it says he's a trump supporter and gun advocate who for months has been railing about the stolen election, complaining about masks, and quote, he's not afraid to go out of this world kicking and screaming covered in someone else's blood. that's a helluva tinder profile. bigo identified himself to a "new york times" reporter and proudly showed off what he stole from pelosi's desk. >> i left a note on her desk. it says, nancy, bigo was here, you bitch. >> total black lives matter type. then there's this dude, code name baked alaska, who broke into a senate office and then didn't know what to do, so he pretended to talk on the phone. the "new york post" has identified him as a well-known white nationalist named tim gionet. tim was bright enough to livestream his crime. >> america first! america first! america first! america first! >> jimmy: let's arrest you first and then america second. then we have this evil genius who looks like a

it was antifa. there is a lot of double-standard talk in right-wing radio and tv. a lot of conspiracy theories being spread. what it is, don, is a big lie on top of all the big lies we have been hearing the last two months. big lies about trump winning, about voter fraud being rampant. now, the new, big lie, is that actually, this was all somebody else's fault. we don't know for sure but even sowing that kind of doubt the way tucker carlson is, laura ingram is, it is damaging because, then people come away not knowing what to believe. >> yep. >> the question then becomes, who is going to drag people back to reality? we know it's not president trump. will it be the murdocks? i mean, the murdock "wall street journal" editorial board tonight said it will be best for trump to resign. >> yeah, and go away quietly. but there is always a boogie man and there is a pattern. you know, acorn. it was the new black panthers. now, it's antifa. so, you know, it's -- it's a pattern. thank you, brian. i got to run. it's the end of the program. thank you so much. i will see you late

for the violence according to ox yos mccarthy saying it is not antifa, it is maga, i know, i

it's from antifa. we just saw that in the last couple of dmais portland where they smashed up none other than the democratic party headquarters. there is a problem with violent extremism in this country. but it was encouraged by the democratic party including kamala harris who actually donated money to bail those people out of jail. jesse: i couldn't agree more. and everybody needs to pay attention to what's going on right now. if they use the justification of being suspicious about an election to slap a label on you like a domestic terrorist. that could have serious long-term consequences for every single american in this country. thank you very much, miranda, always enjoy having you on "watters' world." we saw the democrats use the national guard as a political prop. we were told there would be armed anti-biden protesters all over the capitol for the inauguration. then we were told there would be armed protesters in all 50 state capitols. thankfully that never materialized. only antifa rioted, but th

interesting that he identified or agreed with the culpability of the president in the riots and said antifa had no place there. i think as the evidence starts to pile up, especially -- not even specifically that speech or

has already acknowledged there's a slew of antifa protesters approached the capital building. so. >> where you read that? >> all over the place, is , i have a couple of friends in law enforcement is. the photographs are really easy . when you read, photograph, whether it's on photoshop oracle programs and correlate color, the direction angle and everything else you can easily identify people. >> host: wasn't in virginia. the majority leader has without a floor update, numbers are advised as soon as house at arms confirms that the capital building is safe and secure house is to reconvene resume debate on the objection to the state of arizona electoral vote. after the house is a vote by group. following the house will reconvene for the joint session of congress to continue to count portal for the president and vice president of the united states. members and staff should remain on the capital complex until they are notified by the united states police. on capitol hill, law enforcement has been brought in. the barriers have been erected around the capital protesters of complex. y

. >> if you want to root out the mystic terrorism you go after antifa instead of pretending it is a mythical group created by the right or simply an idea his ideas are so damaging that building end of collapsing once they order them. absolutely ludicrous. >> reporter: trump and the media declines to an all-time low. according to reports shared by ask he is 57% of democrats and 18% of republicans trust traditional media sources. todd: dana lash is condemning political violence, she can't understand why democrats won't do the same. >> when joe biden was giving his inaugural address and got to the part where he was talking about white supremacy i was wondering if that was his way of referencing antifa considering the makeup of that violent group and not a lot of reporting as to what they did in portland and i hadn't heard him say anything about going after a state headquarters, this wasn't some street team field office. this is the organ democratic party they went after. i thought we would all be on the same page of condemning violence but they have such a hard time doing it i cannot figure out

that's an antifa tactic. he was charged up and ready to go. he was attacked the line of officers that pushed up to the capitol building. he was causing problems throughout the entire day. >> laura: when the shot rang out. a lot of us watched the most graphic part of other video shots when she is on the ground which is heart wrenching. did she say anything. did you hear her say anything. did others try to render assistance to her? obviously the shot looked fatal from what we could see. >> yes, she did not say anything. she hit the ground. i was filming and i stopped filming. my videos are split in 2 because i had to shine a flashlight on her to stop the bleeding. we put our hands on her neck to stop it. we watched her eyes go wide and there was nothing we could do. >> laura: as an american and someone who covered peaceful protests and protests that devolved into horrific chaos in portland and seattle, your comments about what we as americans can take away from this today. >> we need to learn. we need to learn and love and grow and get along. no

they were antifa invading the capitol disguised. lou: said one of the greatest enablers and supporters of antifa. the house speaker nancy pelosi. extraordinary. facebook, twitter, youtube yesterday censoring the president of the united states. they removed his message calling on the protesters at the capitol building to go home and to go in peace. today, facebook announced it has suspended the president indefinitely. facebook has done that. and facebook ceo mark zuckerberg who donated $400 million to the cause of the president-elect and last year's campaign said this "president donald trump tends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power. we believe the risk of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great. therefore we are extending this on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and at least for the next two weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete". zuckerberg's highest and partisan statement coming after th

doesn't matter antifa or some other group we need to condemn them all. we need to take them seriously but we need to condemn the splittization of law enforcement on the left. elizabeth: critics are saying why is the white house avoiding questions it will consider antifa as domestic terrorists when fbi director christopher wray testified in congress that antifa is the real thing and fbi has multiple domestic terrorism probes targeting those who self-identify as antifa. roll tape. watch this. [shouting] >> antifa is a real thing. it is not a group or an organization. it's a movement or an ideology, maybe one way of thinking of it a and we have quite a number, i said this consistently since my first time appearing before this committee, we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchists extremists and some of those individuals self-identify with, with antifa. >> i think you and i talked about this yesterday an conveyed all violence happening around the country will be reviewed as part of the tasking th

what we are seeing is antifa definition. increasingly elastic. now it will riot against -- not police. we saw them go after an i.c.e. facility and take a down. a riot against joe biden winning the election. when is the administration going to stand up and shut this down? >> they were shouting and protesting against i.c.e. no nations, no borders. ridiculous beliefs, ridiculous slogans. they are afraid to stand up. they have supported groups that hate law enforcement. they want to abolish i.c.e. every day americans living in the real world including democratic voters that like law enforcement. worried when they see their property being burned. you had voices last year telling us these rioters, these arsonists fall on violence. tell that to the small business owner. tell that to the folks, police officers harmed, folks were killed during these rights last year. they called these folks political protesters. that is just crazy. the democratic party has a real problem. the leaders don't have the courage to stand up. every day average americans that don

antifae several times coming up. if you go to florida politics.com" matt gaetz speaking on the house floor. forident trump called evan's rations to be peaceful. you could moan and groan but he was far more explicit about his calls for peace then some of the blm and left ring -- wing rioters. antifa, the florida politics story quotes as saying "i don't know if the reports are true at the washington reported some pretty compelling evidence showing some of the supporters who breach the capital were not they wereorters members of the violent terrorist group antifa." that is matt gaetz. buzzfeed posting a story looking at the topic. there is no evidence that antifa was involved in the attempted coup. who quoted lynn woods, subscribes to the queue and on theories.- q anon , one is ad a photo frequent protester. the other is a well-known white nationalists. caitlin nickerson also posting a tweet saying the guy with the horns has already been identified by many as a well-known promoter. timee right we have a long neo-nazi fi

antifa is against the president. why would antifa join a group of people who are pro-trump? antifa is an excuse that far right wing lunatics want to use not to take responsibility for their own actions. host: another view on the protests yesterday from georgia and tennessee, who said he saw a reporter reporting on riots months ago that the protests were mostly peaceful and using that standard, the protests that standard were also -- using that standard the protests yesterday were also mostly peaceful. this from tim ryan in "the new york post," that the congressmen responsible for funding the capitol police has insisted heads will roll over the embarrassment of officers being so easily overrun by rioters and that it is pretty clear there will be a number of people , heout employment soon talked of police being overrun by the mob, saying that this was an embarrassment on behalf of the mob and the president and the insurrection and the attempted to, but also the lack of professional planning in dealing with what we knew was going to occur. host: louisiana, next up we hear from

i will say i'm not sure that was antifa. antifa wears masks wherever they go. i've written a couple books about this stuff, not cool and joy of hate. the left broke new ground and they decided that the personal was political and vice versa. what happens when you do that is that it does become acceptable because you've removed dialogue, dying th dialogue being metrical between anger and died out he this escalation, yow an online mob, attacking supporters and harassing people at restaurants. chasing politicians home and that ramped up to riots. remember chaz, looting and there is no stop on this race to. evergreens college. they had a protest. that behavior became acceptable. people liked it. no one was punished. what happens is that spread out and it's now on our streets. it's in our h.r. departments. it's everywhere because our adults are too cowardly to face what really is a tiny tiny tiny tiny extreme minority of unstable and unproductive tools who have nothing to do with their time but make life miserable. >> martha: jesse, these things can turn on a dime an

antifa, theg is lies that they are telling is that the people who broke in our antifa. -- are antifa. antifa was anti-trump. why would they be breaking into is --upt a process that that was going on to remove the person that antifa doesn't like? you know, that doesn't make sense. lies. the other thing that we here on c-span is, it's the media, it's the media, the media. the media done nothing wrong, especially media like c-span. business liken every other capitalist. they are in business to make money and sometimes they have to make the news appealing because there is a lot of competition, so everybody, they have to compete. sometimes, they represent the news in a sensational way. but then also, you have the republicans who believe in personal responsibility and believe that government and big brother should not be meddling into your personal life. lawrence, republican line, elk grove, -- caller: i would like to comment on most of the people that have called in and most of the comments made by people in the house, what frauds they all are. i don't know your name, sir. i know you are w

those dems also refused to condemn the violence of antifa and black lives matter that followed. the president-elect didn't say a word until august and then only to say that such violation was unacceptable -- violence was unacceptable. he did not condemn antifa and black lives matter, and that dead arely violation in the is streets of kenosha, wisconsin, portland, seattle, new york, chicago and other democrat-run cities, by the way, all were labeled mostly peaceful by the left-wing media and the radical dems as americans, millions of us, watched buildings burned and people killed. does nip on the left -- does anyone on the left this evening seriously believe the death of ashley babbitt at the hands of a capitol police officer justifies civil unrest for even a few minutes or, certainly, months afterwards? i do not. i don't know anyone who does. but it is a what we witnessed on the part of the left of this country over the course of the her of 2020. -- of the summer of 2020. congressman matt gaetz last night called out the dems' double standards not only for refusing to condemn lef

who was behind the insurrection, antifa doing the violence. according to axios, mccarthy pushed back on the president, but the fact he is still spreading these lies, these conspiracy theories, what does that tell you about the importance of what you're doing? >> it tells you that donald trump is not going to change. he remains a danger to the well-being of the united states. he remains, if left in office it is very likely that he'll engage in additional grave misconduct that will harm our country and the safety of those who serve in congress or others. and so, you know, this is again a president who is unwilling to accept responsibility for his own conduct and always trying to blame somebody else. the fbi said antifa had no presence whatsoever on wednesday. that's another lie. and this is just evidence that donald trump is not going to change who he is. he's a danger to the country. we have a responsibility. look. this is days before we'll have a new president. the last thing we want to do is impeach a president. but we have a solemn responsib
