slamming china during a hearing on anti-asian hate. i'll get more reaction. also tonight, disturbing new video of the most violent assault on officers during the capitol riot. the fbi releasing the footage and asking the american public for help in identifying the attackers. first, let's go to cnn's amara walker in atlanta. atlanta police say their investigation is now far from over. what's the latest? >> reporter: first off, not too long ago this crowd behind me near one of the crime scenes gathered to condemn anti-asian hate. so that rally is underway right now, but we did just hear from the atlanta police department. we learned that the suspect had frequented these two spas before, he was quite familiar with them. he had purchased the gun the day of the shooting. atlanta police also emphasizing the fact that their investigation is slightly different from that of the cherokee county sheriff's department saying there are four asian women killed at these two spas in atlanta. they say they're looking at everything to determine whether or not this was racially motivated. >> our investigation is looking at everything, so nothing is off the table. >> reporter: as investigators take a hard look into what motivated the suspect to go on the mass shooting spree that left eight dead, including six asian women. the spokesman captain jay baker allegedly posted an image of this racist shirt last april on a facebook page that's since been deleted, encouraging people to buy the shirt that reads covid-19 imported virus from china. he also made these controversial remarks at a press conference wednesday. >> he understood the gravity of it and he was pretty much fed up and at the end of his rope and yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. >> reporter: the cherokee county sheriff's department saying the captain did not intend to express empathy or sympathy for the suspect. baker has been removed as a spokesperson in the case. some in the asian community angry that a law enforcement official would diminish the depravity of the suspect's killing spree. >> this is something where we should not be trying to down play what happened. we should be speaking at it with the rawness which it is, which is a mass murder. >> reporter: at the same press conference, baker saying the suspect robert aaron long saying he had a sex addiction, claiming the attacks were not racially motivated. >> the fact that he's characterizing this is dehumanizing the women that work in this industry. >> we also need to look at these incidents and crimes with a wider lens and a wider perspective. we hope that law enforcement are doing due diligence. >> reporter: on capitol hill today, republicans mostly silent on the wave of recent attacks of asian americans. at a previously scheduled hearing on anti-asian hate today, republican chip roy claimed members of congress were trying to police free speech. >> i'm not going to be ashamed of saying i oppose the chinese communist party. we shouldn't be worried about having a committee of members of congress policing our rhetoric because some evil-doers go engage in some evil activity as occurred in atlanta, georgia. >> reporter: meanwhile the investigation continues. authorities have not ruled out hate crime charges. long remains behind bars without bond in a cherokee county jail. in a statement his attorney says the alleged shooter waived his right to a first appearance. some u.s. cities have ramped up patrolling areas in new york and seattle. the south korean consulate in atlanta issuing warnings for koreans to take extra caution due to the attacks. >> i am very cautious. i am more concerned about my niece and my nephew and of course my parents, who are elderly. i tell them call me, i'll run the errands for you. >> reporter: that is a reality for so many asians. we are learning that fbi director christopher wray has told npr the motive in these shootings does not appear to be racially motivated, but we do want to stress there are investigations underway. atlanta police saying right now nothing is off the table. >> right now i want to get to some more on the truly explosive remarks by republican congressman chip roy about lynchings, china and more. our chief congressional correspondent manu raju is joining us. roy's remarks seemed to fan anti-asian sentiment at a hearing aimed at addressing the pro problem. >> reporter: i just spoke to jerry nadler who was at that hearing. he called roy's remarks disgusting and said they would fan those flames of hate. he said clearly those kind of comments led to a lot of prejudice and harm to asian-americans. this hearing was about all the rhetoric, all the violence that has occurred since the coronavirus pandemic began and what to do to combat that. roy pushed back on the hearing and argued against, in his view, efforts to limit free speech. >> the victims of rioting and looting in the streets last week, businesses closed -- i'm sorry, last summer, deserve justice. we believe in justice. there's old sayings in texas about find all the rope in texas and get a tall oak tree. we take justice very seriously. we ought to do that, round up the bad guys. >> i want to go back to something that mr. roy said earlier. your president and your party and your colleagues can talk about issues with any other country that you want, but you don't have to do it by putting a bullseye on the back of asian americans across this country, on our grandparents, on our kids. this hearing was to address the hurt and pain of our community and to find solutions. we will not let you take our voice away from us. >> reporter: over dether democr members of the committee viewed it as a distraction to what they hoped would be the message of today's hearing. today republicans for the most part didn't weigh in tin what w saw coming out of atlanta as well as the uptick in violence against asian americans. kevin mccarthy, the house republican leader, downplayed the rhetoric things like the china virus. he said the atlanta shootings in particular, that essentially that in his words, the virus came from china and i think the knowledge we had at the time is exactly that. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell has not yet weighed in. we've asked him multiple times about this. he of course has an asian american wife, the former secretary of transportation and labor elaine chao. he has not weighed in. a lot of republicans not weighing in on this topic as democrats say they want increased focus in what we're seeing against the asian american community. >> did this republican congress, chip roy, did he apologize? did he explain why all of a sudden he's racing the issue of lynchings, which has as we all know such a horrible history in our country? >> reporter: he has not fully weighed in. i hope to ask him about that same question. he did not view this hearing as a worthwhile endeavor, thought it was policing free speech. seems like he's digging in on this one. >> joining us now representative judy chew, democrat from california. let me get your reaction to those comments we just heard from your fellow member of congress, republican chip roy. are comments like his part of the problem here? >> it is exactly the problem. in fact, chip roy is just following president trump's rhetoric, the rhetoric that he started in march calling this the china virus, wuhan virus and even kung flu. despite the fact that the cdc and the world health organization has said not to use such terms so as not to associate any disease with a geographic location or ethnicity, that it would cause great harm. donald trump doubled down and got his followers to even talk about it that way even more. that's what chip roy is doing. he's just talking about it that much more. it is shocking the way that they have treated this whole issue. when we had an anti-hate crime resolution on the floor in the fall and it was very, very important for us to present this issue and do something about it, 164 republicans voted against it. kevin mccarthy made a point of saying this is a waste of time. well, waste of time? now eight people are dead in atlanta. >> this mass murder, as you know, congresswoman, comes as we're seeing this truly alarming rise in anti-asian hate in our country. has your family felt the impact of this hate? >> well, let me tell you that i hear about this every day from my family, friends and community. it is just chilling to hear what's going on. for instance, a chinese-american man in rosemead who was sitting at a bus stop when he was assaulted with his own cane and lost part of his finger and others. a man who was walking his dog and then somebody hit him from behind. these are things that just have happened within the last few weeks. we are very concerned because the elderly and the most vulnerable are now being attacked. there's a spike in these anti-asian hate crimes. but never did i dream that it would get as bad as eight people being murdered. this is the largest mass murder since the pandemic began. >> it's an awful situation. we've now learned, congresswoman, that the official yesterday said the shooter had, quote, a really bad day, posted anti-asian content about the pandemic last year. are you concerned the humanization of white perpetrators is influencing this investigation? >> i am deeply concerned about this. it's kind of the attitude of, well, boys will be boys, he had a bad day. and also they are playing down the hate crime aspect of it. get this. this is a 21-year-old white male who picked as his first business to shoot something call ed asia massage. does that give a clue to where his mind was at? then he drove 27 miles to a spot with two more asian spas. if he had this problem with a sex addiction, he could have gone anywhere in the area, but all three businesses that he chose were asian spas where clearly you could murder asian women. so i think that there was a hate crime going on there. >> yeah, a lot of people agree with you totally. in addition to calling for this killer in georgia to be prosecuted, you said you want to see a whole of community response. tell us what that means. >> in this country, we do not have a cohesive hate crime strategy. now we are paying the consequences for it. we do not collect hate crime data even though there was a 1990 hlaw that said that the federal government was supposed to be collecting it, but they can only do it through the voluntary effort of local law enforcement and hardly any of them actually submit such hate crime data. we have to improve a whole system for reporting, but we also have to shore up the programs that law enforcement have to address hate crimes. many of them don't have hate crime programs. they need actual law enforcement programs and training and they need to be able to go into the community and be able to create a liaison with the community so the community feels comfortable reporting such crimes, and also they have to have those resources translated into different languages. >> yes, they do. just ahead, a new firsthand account of the growing anxiety among asian americans as reports of bias and violence are clearly on the rise. and the fbi wants to know if you recognize any of these attackers in newly-released videos of assaults on capital police during the january 6th capitol riot. that's a very good question. will there be an ev for me? what about me? an ev for me? what about me? can i get one too? an ev for this princess? what's an

deadly spa shootings were a hate crime, but many americans do believe race was certainly a factor. let's bring back cnn's amara walker in atlanta for us. also joining us margaret wong, president and ceo of the southern poverty law center. margaret, this mass murder in georgia essential comes as instances of anti-asian bias and hate are sadly on the rise in our country. can you help us better understand what asian americans are facing right now? >> thank you, wolf. the organization stop aapi hate has just released a report that documents nearly 3800 incidences of hate against asians and asian americans across the country. this is in the last year. this list of incidences is directly attributable to the former president's narrative and rhetoric around the covid pandemic. there's no question that his hateful narrative has contributed to all these different incidences we've seen, ranging from slurs and harassment to shunning and, sadly, this week to violence. >> those are incidences that have actually been reported. sadly, there are so many more that have never been reported. amara, i know you've been open about what you've personally experienced as you've gone on your cnn reporting on this pandemic. tell us about what you've gone through this past year and indeed just this past week. >> reporter: wolf, i can tell you that i can't remember a time where i've ever been this concerned for my safety, my loved ones' safety, my family's safety just because of the way we look. asians across the country are all dealing with some form of racism. they're afraid for their lives. ms. wong was mentioning aapi hate. i spoke with a lady yesterday, a korean american woman. she was at the grocery store here in atlanta, she and her fiance and a woman gave her the dirtiest look and she grabbed her children and pulled them away as if she might be infectious or have the disease. these are the kind of things that asians across the country are dealing with. on top of that, we're seeing our elderly getting accosted, violently assaulted, in some cases killed when they're being pushed down. racism is not knew against asians. what's new is the surge we're seeing of hate and violence against asians. wolf, you would be hard pressed -- it would be difficult not to find someone who will tell you they have not dealt with some kind of racism. i'm talking about anyone in the asian community. you can just approach them and say what's your experience been like this past year? i'm pretty darn sure they will have a story. >> margaret, what's been your experience? >> absolutely. i share the concerns. i will tell you i've been deeply concerned about my family members, my friends, others in my community. there's no question that the reports and incidences that are documented in the stop aapi hate report are common and familiar to all of us. you're right, wolf, there's no question this is an underreporting. these are the people who took the time to self-report their experiences to a nonprofit organization. if you look at the fbi report on hate crimes against asian americans, the number is vastly smaller, less than 200 in the last year. clearly people aren't feeling comfortable reporting their experiences when they elevate to the level of hate crime to local authorities. >> margaret, you're blaming the former president for a lot of this rise, is that right? >> there's no question, wolf, that the narrative that he adopted contributed so much to the kind of hate and the kind of violence we've been seeing. we also believe it's critically important that the state of georgia prosecute the crimes these week as hate crimes. the georgia statute on hate crimes was only enacted last year in 2020 as a response to some of the killings there, particularly killings of black men by local militias or local police. and the hate crime statute in georgia includes the hate crimes committed on the basis of gender and sex. so there's no reason at all why this crime wouldn't be considered a hate crime, and we want the law enforcement officers in georgia to investigate it and be prepared for that prosecution. >> you know, amara, what do you think? what does all this rhetoric we've heard over the past year, what does that do to encourage this kind of hate? >> reporter: it plays a huge role in fuelling the flames of hate, wolf. you're hearing racist people use these terms that we've heard president trump use, former president trump use, china flu, kung flu when they attack people. i was live on cnn five minutes before someone drove by and called me the china virus. these are terms that at the very top they have been used over and over. we've been covering that story about the san antonio, texas, restaurant owner, the asian man. he had spoken out against governor abbott's lifting of that mask mandate. he predicted there would be some kind of backlash. what happened was his asian restaurant was vandalized by racists who with graff grafitti in red kung flu. these are the terms you've heard over and over again from former president trump. it's emboldening people, making people think it's okay to scapegoat asians and blame them for this pandemic. >> atlanta police officials are facing some criticism for the way at least one police spokesman humanized the white suspect, the 21-year-old in this particular case. we saw similar humanization and response to the january 6th riot here in washington up on capitol hill. what's the impact of disproportionately humanizing these white suspects? >> it's such an important question, wolf. there's absolutely no question that the press conference yesterday had a huge impact on the asian and asian american community. listening to captain baker give a narrative that lifted up the need and experience of the perpetrator of this terrible crime, as opposed to lifting up the stories, the names and the faces of the victims of this crime was really outrageous. what we need are law enforcement officials who understand that their obligation is to all of the communities of our american society, not just those that might be more familiar to them personally. >> he's a spokesman for the police in cherokee county just outside of atlanta. all right, guys. thank you very much much. president biden is responding to the spa shootings by changing the agenda for his trip to atlanta

victims of the spa shootings in geo georgia. he's changed the agenda for his trip to atlanta tomorrow. let's go to phil mattingly. the president and vice president are planning to meet with asian american leaders. >> reporter: it's on an issue, asian american discrimination, the white house and the president have been talking about since the opening days of their administration. it's not just here at the white house. on capitol hill we're just now getting a statement from mitch mcconnell, whose wife elaine chao is asian americans, mitch mcconnell saying, quote, committing a crime because of race is deeply wrong. asian americans should not have to experience discrimination anywhere. it's a similar sentiment to what we've heard from president biden, one he plans to un underscore. president biden's scheduled trip to that night taking on a whole new significance. the plt will also offer his support forring the aapi community in georgia and across the country and talk about his commit to combatting xenophobia and hate. >> reporter: biden now expected to meet with leaders in the asian american community. >> i've been speaking about the brutality of asian americans in the last couple months. >> reporter: just days after the murder of eight, similar of whom were of asian descent. a surge in hate crimes against the community throughout the country. biden, who used his prime time address last week to highlight the issue. >> vicious hate crimes against asian americans who have been attacked, blamed and scapegoated. >> reporter: lowering flags to half staff at the white house as he seeks to address the issue head on, all as biden closes in on a long-stated goal. >> god willing, not only do a hundred million. we're going to do more than that. >> reporter: more than a month ahead of schedule. >> tomorrow, 58 days into our administration, we have will have met my goal of administering 100 million shots to our fellow americans. >> reporter: but underscoring the significant risks that remain. >> this is a time for optimism, but it's not a time for relaxation. >> reporter: biden also moving to share vaccine with close allies canada and mexico with current talks to send 1.5 million zodoses of the astrazena v vaccine to canada and 2 million to mexico. the white house continues to grapple with the surge in unaccompanied migrants. >> they have to show that people are being returned. >> reporter: a crisis that has threatened biden's immigration agenda, with republicans firm in opposition to his sweeping overhaul and the vast majority set to oppose two immigration bills in the house that would create pathways to citizenship for certain undocumented farm workers and so call d.r.e.a.m.ers. this from biden. >> you think he's a killer? >> i do. >> reporter: drawing this from russian president vladimir putin. >> in childhood, when we argued with each other we would say, he who calls names is called that himself. >> reporter: with russian officials describing relations with the u.s. in a bad state and calling the russian ambassador to the u.s. back to moscow. biden making clear the u.s. has and will continue to impose costs on russia for election interference and hacking. >> the price he's going to pay, you'll see shortly. >> reporter: putin for his part, wishing this for his american counterpart. >> i would tell him be healthy. i wish him good health. i say this without irony, without jokes. >> reporter: wolf, just a few moments ago, the house did pass one of those immigration bills and create a pathway to citizenship for the so-called dreamers brought to their country by their parents as well as temporary protected status. it's the first vote to create any pathway to citizenship that would apply to about 4.4 million undocumented immigrants. however, it is very clear right now given the fact only nine republicans supported that bill in the house, there's no clear pathway in the u.s. senate, where it is still split 50-50, democrats with the most narrow of majoritmajorities. still a lot of work to do for democrats. right now the pathway forward, unclear. >> phil, thank you very much. now another important story we're watching. the investigation of the capitol insurrection. the fbi right now ramping up efforts to identify some of the most violent attackers who targeted capitol police with brutal force. our justice correspondent jessica schneider reports on the release of new videos released by the fbi. we should warn all of our viewers the footage is disturbing. >> reporter: it is up close violent video, showcasing ten more suspects the fbi is seeking, all accused of attacking police. the scenes show officers under siege. one suspect seen pushing through the police line. another lunging at officers with a stick. another man unleashing chemical spray on police. there are ten videos in all and freeze frames of the suspects line the side of each screen. some clips are particularly graphic and disturbing, like this suspect grabbing a police officer's helmet and face mask, bashing his head into the door jam. we now know that officer is daniel hodges, who was nearly crushed to death. >> there was a guy ripping my mask off. he was able to rip away my baton and beat me with it. he was practically foaming at the mouth. so just these people were true believers in the worst way. >> reporter: this suspect was captured by police body cam throwing punches at police. now more than two months after the january 6th insurrection, the fbi is pleading for the public's help. they have faces for these ten people who they say attacked officers but no names. >> we are coming to you again because we know someone out there somewhere will recognize these individuals. they are captured on video committing appalling crimes against officers who have devoted their lives to protecting the american people. >> reporter: the fbi has received more than 200,000 tips. some have led to key arrests including earlier this week when julian khater and george tanios were arrested and charged with assaulting three officers with chemical spray including brian sicknick, who died a day later. the official cause of his death has still not been released. more than 300 people have been arrested for the capitol attack and so far 65 have been charged with assaulting law enforcement officers. but the fbi says some of these most violent still can't be identified. >> these individuals are responsible for assaults on law enforcement officers who are protecting the capitol and our democratic process on january 6th. >> reporter: it is a chilling scene that has played out many times. now with a spotlight on some of the perpetrators, the fbi is asking the public to help identify them. in addition to these ten suspects now being sought, the fbi says there are also still 250 unidentified individuals involved in the capitol attack they are also seeking. so the fbi is renewing its calls for the public's help and information and they're directing people to their website. that's tips.fbi.gov. just ahead, a heated exchange between dr. anthony fauci and senator rand paul over wearing

anthony fauci pushing back as senator rand paul slammed dr. fauci's guidance that people still need to wear masks even if they've had covid-19 or have been fully vaccinated. >> if we're not spreading the infection, isn't it just theater? >> no, it's not. >> you got the vaccine and you're wearing two masks. isn't that theater? >> here we go again with the theater. let's get down to the facts. when you talk about the infection and you don't keep in the concept of variants, that's an entirely different ball game. that's a good reason for a mask. >> let's discuss with our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. that exchange between dr. fauci and senator rand paul, he is a doctor himself, given all the new covid variants currently circulating out there, why is it still so important for us to keep wearing masks in public, even those of us who have already been fully vaccinated? >> right. well, i think there's a couple of points. you know, these discussions do get heated, as you're hearing there. first of all, i think it's worth reminding at the beginning that the vaccines are really effective against people becoming hospitalized and dying. basically 100% effective against death, these vaccines are, which is pretty incredible. i mean, i just think that's something worth repeating each time. you get this vaccine and you have that degree of confidence that you're not going to get sick or be hospitalized or die. that is true. i think what keeps the discussion where it goes is the idea that the variants and mutations, they're of concern even if you're not likely to get sick or hospitalized and die if you're exposed to the variant if you've been vaccinated, i could still carry it and could you then transit to somebody else. it's really as simple as that. i think as time goes on the we ultimately bring the overall viral transmission very low in the few thousand people per day as opposed to tens of thousands of people per day, when you can feel confident you're not going to be exposed to the virus. we're not at that point. while the vaccine is protective against your getting sick, if you get exposed to a variant, might you then expose that to something else. >> wearing a mask is not that complicated. new research from denmark indicates that reinfection with covid is relatively uncommon, but it also finds that older people are more likely to be infected again. what does this mean for our vaccination strategy? what does it mean for people who think they might be protected with natural immunity? >> the bottom line is that even if you then infected and you likely have some antibodies because of that infection, you still need to get a vaccine. that's the bottom-line message. the good news was this, the reinfection rates were really low across the board. if you did the math, it was less than 1% across the board. what they did find was that people who are 65 and older, they tended to be less protected against reinfection compared to people under the age of 65. again, it's rare that you get reinfected. the variants may change that equation to some extent. this study was done in the spring and fall of that last year before the variants really started to emerge. wolf, particularly if you're 65 and older, you think i already had this, i don't need to worry about it again. what this study is making the case is you still need to get a vaccine. just ahead, we're going to tell you how vladimir putin is now responding to president biden's comments calling the russian leader a killer. bipolar depression.

>> i know you and you know me. >> reporter: this is the moment u.s./russian ties, fraught by fresh allegations of election meddling and the poisoning of a key russian opposition figure plunged to a new low. >> do you think he's a killer? >> uh-huh. i do. >> reporter: just a few words, joe biden signaled his intolerance of russian misdeeds. and a willingness to call out the kremlin's strong man. he looks relaxed, marking the seventh anniversary of russia's annexation of crimea. but putin is furious. facing the promise of more painful u.s. sanctions in the weeks ahead, he's recalling russia's
