democrats, michael, oklahoma city. caller: good morning, john. there is a word that it seems like journalists don't want to use, and it is fascism. and that is exactly what we had, a fascist insurrection. the definition comes from mussolini. ed comes from a word meaning a collection of sticks like kindling. the conservative movement -- he also said that each -- they had political power, but not enough to gain control, but if you gather these sticks together, like if you get the conservative christians and the gooden toter's together, they don't have enough power alone, but if you put them together like kindling and light a fire and get them mad, then you might be able to accumulate enough power. that's what fascism is. host: that's michael in oklahoma city. this is reed in oceans short, washington. caller: i have a comment to make about the riots that this guest is saying is an insurrection. to correct the last caller, fascism is when the state takes over business, like the health care bill that had the largest tax increase in american history. b

the precipitating event, according to his mother, was the oklahoma city bombing, the bombing of the federal building. he'd been having flashbacks of going down the well. and he's sitting there watching 24-hour coverage of the rescuers doing what he did. and as he's sitting there watching this he says to his mother "those people are going to need a lot of help for a very long time." and that was the night that he took a shotgun and shot himself. >> i wondered if i had succumbed to the limelight, if the same thing might have happened to me. >> you know, a camera focused on you in the late '80s is vastly different than now. in those days, if you brought a camera to something, it typically wasn't trivial. >> we were certainly not perfect gatekeepers way back when, but now there's no gatekeeper. there's just the cacophony of a modern media world. and that's very different than back in 1987 where there was v there was something magical in a story being captured by cable news and transfixing people. >> on the one hand, it was revolutionary and it was an education in, wow, look at how culture has c

they rallied to beat oklahoma city yesterday. rookie moody scored a game-high 22. komina had an importance jam for two of his 18 points. too soon if he'll be able to help the warriors next season but he definitely has game. >> there's moments where you're pretty much in awe of the athleticism, the physicality he brings. there's moments where you say, well, you're not going to be able to do that in the nba games, you have to take care of the ball more, have to be more in control. there's a special quality he has that's rare. >> reporter: the future definitely looks bright. in case you missed it, brandon crawford will remain in a giants uniform for at least the next few years. the all star shortstop and bay area native signed a two-year contract extension friday with the giants. it's a great reward for a guy who is having a career year at the plate while still getting it done with the glove. >> it's the only organization we've ever known. they've always taken such good care of me and my family. we're just happy to know that we're going to be here for a couple of more

. >> reporter: in oklahoma city this nurse says hospitals are overwhelmed with unvaccinated patients. >> i want oklahomans to know if they saw what we see every day, they would be in line for the vaccination. >> reporter: in kentucky more than 20 hospitals report critical staffing shortages. in mississippi, emergency management officials are deploying 1,000 health care workers to assist dozens of struggling hospitals. covid deaths are up 23% nationwide in the last week and when it comes to hospitalizations, the cdc says unvaccinated people are 29 times more likely to be hospitalized than vaccinated people. the good news is vaccinations are at a six-week high. the bad news is the delta variant is taking a toll. vaccine effectiveness at preventing infection dropped from 91% before the delta variant to 66% now. but officials insist the vaccines remain highly effective at preventing severe illness including in pregnant women, but the cdc says three out of four expecting moms have still not been vaccinated including hailey richardson, a nurse who was six months pregnant when she died from

it's not just one event like an oklahoma city bombing but, you know, every minute, we are going to have to pay attention. certainly, between now and tuesday. >> look. what do you think -- i -- i can't imagine, plus, having to make the phone calls, right? but what do you think presidents are dealing with when they make such difficult, life-or-death decisions? >> well, the irony of all this is we haven't had u.s. service personnel killed in afghanistan for 18 months. and joe biden gave us his rationale for getting out. he said it very emphatically. i want no more dead american military personnel. we are getting out. well, low and behold, we're looking at the carnage, the catastrophe that was today with a kind of fearful eye for what may happen tomorrow. so, you know, president biden is -- is -- mournfully talked today about -- about beau, his son, talked about this sort of dark feeling and the empty and hollowness you get. he was very resolute about getting revenge, and getting the perpetrators. but he has to be crestfallen about losing this many marines and -- and -- um -- and -- and los

we saw that in the mid-1990's, timothy mcveigh's targeting of the murrah building in oklahoma city. so that is a recent phenomenon. and again as i mentioned, we are , seeing perpetrators from all sides of the political spectrum, and artists, anti-fascists and others as well. senator: thank you. i appreciate that and the concise answer because there's lots of information i want to get out. mr. goldenberg, you talked about your work and the factors contributing to the persistent threat of domestic terrorism and violent extremism. can you talk about what you see as the common threads of domestic radicalization and you've obviously got experience both at the state level and the federal level to the department of homeland security. just give us a sense of the common thread you have seen. mr. goldenberg: the tactics being used by radicals from white supremacists to those that claim they are going to attack it in the name of jihad, eco-terrorism, the tactics are very similar. about four or five years ago i had the opportunity to cochair the foreign fighter task force. we spent a lot of tim

the mid-1990's, including the timothy mcveigh attack at a woman city -- in oklahoma city highlights long-term challenges. we will talk about targets. as we have heard from others on this -- that testified so far, our list of targets includes a range of individuals in the u.s. based on ethnicity, race, religious beliefs and other factors, and we have seen individuals based on the fact they are jewish and the targeting of synagogues, african-americans, asian americans, latino americans and others, including based on their political persuasion. highlighting the polarization of politics. they have all been targeted. i would highlight our data shows the highest numbers of individuals in 2020 targeted or those in the military, police, and within the government. a notable increase. i would highlight piercing individuals targeted, military police and the government from all sides of the ideological spectrum. from anti-fascist and anarchists to white supremacist and antigovernment. focus from all sides of the political spectrum. touching briefly on the fourth area, tactics and weapons, we see a number

city. but that doesn't detract from what happened. sometimes the press gets it wrong. you guys always get it right. on august 3rd, which was a tuesday, i woke up in the morning and had a bad feeling that something was wrong with these girls, that they were in danger. at that time afghanistan a was not in collapse but i couldn't shake it. so i reached out to them, i reached out to their mentor and leader and we began just to try to do our very best to reach out to influential people and find a way to get those girls out. jillian: a lot of them are out and i understand there are still more that you would like to try and rescue out of afghanistan and get them to safety? >> jillian, there are other members of the robotic team and in addition with all the media coverage, the cries for help from professional and educated women i'm getting on my phone is overwhelming. i will continue to rescue as many as i can. jillian: what have their lives been like? >> prior to the escape? jillian: you huh. ? t

the oklahoma city became a tentacle guard video showcasing the power of theirs tiger. if it's anything like coffee it's got to be pretty strong. let's take a look. the zookeepers have placed food on the top of this wooden pole up there. it is as untouchable as a democrat sexual predator alleged. the miraculously the tiger leaks to the top getting as high as hunter biden and is on the pole is his last four girlfriends. turns out tiger's can jump 16 feet vertically which is when the wonderful things about tigger's, that in the fact they are bouncy bouncy transit fun, fun, fun. in the end this tired of the truth the prop at all for the joke is on him it was a pumpkin spice a cup noodles. topic four, jeopardy the beloved game show nursing home indoctrination programs on the brink of a new house, his name michael richards spread which is appropriate because everyone who hears about this quickly repeats his name in the form of a question, so who is mike richards? well, is actually the show's executive producer is put himself in the mix as he shows potential host. the it like

in oklahoma city, icus are near capacity as covid hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the past few weeks. 27-year-old husband is in a medically induced coma. he refused to get the vaccine. now elizabeth is begging people to get vaccinated. look at florida, where just a few weeks ago, governor ron desantis' pac was selling swag saying "don't fauci my florida." now florida has broken its record for daily cases and vaccinations, higher than before vaccinations were available. people in the icu there are begging for vaccines. florida has gotten nearly 25 times people hospitalized for covid than all of canada. i've got the florida variant, the freedom variant, it affects the brain, it's more self owned than he intends, mocking his own consti constituents. >> if you are not vaccinated and if you have not had covid before you're going to get the delta variant. on average one person will transmit to nine people unlike the original virus, which got transmitted to two or three. >> for every republican politician who is trying to encourage their supporters to get the vaccine now, there are st

this is what timothy mcveigh had as his motivation for murdering 168 americans in oklahoma city, including 19 children. and we looked away from it. we looked away from how deep rootedness of white supremacist violence was in this country. we listened to what i believe are principled civil libertarian objection against an expensive category of criminalized association, treating people who might have believed as timothy mcveigh did, as odious as i believe that is, but ultimately not committing acts of violence. treating them as essentially indistinct from mcveigh. absolutely intolerable, as it should have been coming to the american political elite, but that in tolerability did not extend to muslims. and there it was easy after 9/11 to construct an apparatus fueled by things like the patriot act that expanded enormous tegori of criminal association known as material support for terrorism, authorized widespread surveillance that certainly would not be focused simply even on american muslims, as disgusting as it was focused on the primarily, but ultimately, all of these things that both partie

that includes new york city which is under a heat advisory for this afternoon. once we get this afternoon, that feels like temperature will be sitting at 107 in wichita, 102 in oklahoma city, 101 in nashville and the nation's capital will be sitting at 100 degrees. we expand the view, and the air temperature will be about 110 degrees in phoenix. we'll be in the upper 90s in texas. but notice some cooler air spilling down from canada on into the northern plains. minot will be sitting at 69. with the heat out west and the drought, we continue to see fires. the wildfires right outside of sacramento has led to historically bad air quality in reno and carson city. it doesn't look like we'll see any improvement over the next 48 hours. in fact it may get worse. if you see the orange here from reno to carson city, that indicates some really thick smoke near the surface. and that thick smoke is what leads to the poor air quality. we could really use some rainfall in this area to help disperse the smoke and end those fires, but i don't see that happening within the next 4
