Rampage. So disturbing details there. Of course, authorities still working towards that motive. Nothing that weve uncovered yet. Josh, we also learned the shooter was carrying three guns at the time of the shooting. Lots of ammunition. Tell us more. Thats right. Originally today authorities said that there were two handguns that were recovered. That number was revised a short time ago. He said he was actually carrying three handguns as well as 11 magazines. So a significant amount of ammunition that he brought here. And investigators are also Looking into this fire that happened around the time of the shooting at the suspects house. That currently is under investigation. There is a team from the fbi and the atf at the suspects residence. That could have been timed to some sophisticated device that allowed that fire to start while this rampage was on going. One theory being perhaps the suspect was trying to get rid of evidence at his residence as he conducted the shooting rampage. A lot of unanswered questions here. But, of course this community continues to demand answers. And we now have nine more families in the United States that are grieving the loss of a loved one after yet another mass shooting. In fact, the 17th just in the past week. Jake . All right. Josh campbell. Thank you so much. Lets discuss this with the former Homeland Security Official and former Fbi And Cia analyst. Let me start with you. You worked at the department of Homeland Security. What would the protocol be, customs and Boarder Patrol stop this gichlt he has a bunch of books on terrorism. He has a Memo Book in which he is talking about how much he hates his workplace. What is the protocol . So there is not a standard one. Lets just put this in perspective. So 1983, he has a misdemeanor. And then nothing until 2016. And then apparently nothing until 2021. Ill tell you, im not buying it. I think, you know, someone doesnt go from having a few books to killing a lot of people in that fiveyear period. So thats why what happened in 2016, the Walt Journal is talking about, is relevant because we have to think about preventing these things from happening as being about both Gun Control and access to guns and everything. But also each moment becomes a moment for disruption. And it Looks like 2016 was. He was in the philippines alone, a middle aged man. Im just telling you what my trigger the cbp to wonder whether it was drugs or some sort of trafficking or other things that happen in the philippines. Hes likely pulled over for that reason. Thats when they find things. Then the protocol would be as weve seen, put Night A Dhs data base. Then whether that is shared with others will depend on other information. If he only has something from 1983, its unlikely that it was shared. So my guess is he was not guess, based on experience, he was stopped from the philippines, a single male, for concerns about drugs or other illicit activity and then that led to the search. What was your reaction when you heard about this memo . Penalty flag. You Look at the memo, it Looks to anybody reading it like the u. S. Government should have done something. My Penalty Flag is hold up for a second. A couple questions i ask. First, dont Look at one individual. There is 330 Million americans. Right. Every time you see indicators whether it is dhs, fbi, local police, somebody hates their workplace. You want to record that and do something about it. Thats tens of millions of cases. Let me give you another practical problem i see. There is tens of thousands, Hundreds Of Thousands of officers working for the federal government on borders airports. Think of the line you go to at the airport. You want to train every single one of them to understand and interpret psychologically when somebody hates somebody and a way that might lead to murder . Thats not going to happen, jake. Its just not going to happen. That is a free speech issue. What do you think . What do you say to those who say, you know, its outrageous that the department of Homeland Security knew this for five years and didnt do anything . I think its a little different, phil, than people hating their workplace versus somebody having a Memo Book in which they written so many times how much they hate the workplace. I dont think its different. Okay. Ill come back you to in a second. What do you think . Its not just the memo. It is the materials that is broad enough. It would be i mean the very least, you would want, you know this is not yes this is not like, you know, 30 years ago we have joint Terrorism Task forces. We have mechanisms in which that information would be shared. Like phil, i agree. There is a lot of information. This is im not saying, you know, we could have stopped him in 2016. The way we have to Look at this now is that were trying to minimize all the different risks out there, whether it is guns that kill people quickly, to how much ammunition he had to, you know, every interaction with Law Enforcement and your hope is that the totality of the things will just save more american lives. And so this is a moment in which he touched, you know, Law Enforcement and nothing happened. This is something that was relevant for likely what happened five years later. But to what i was saying earlier, you dont see a significant difference between somebody who hates the workplace which may describe tens of millions of people versus somebody with a Memo Book in which he wrote how much he hates them in the workplace. Not in terms of people coming in from the philippines. Lets make you a dhs officer. We have to train you and have very specific guidance and protocols for that you says when somebody says he hates somebody, mr. Tapper, the border security guy, thats okay. If you see this documentation, and ive to train you on that, that has to trigger something beyond talking. How do i do that . How i do tell you this document is okay. That is not okay . And the final thing is, how i do pass a law that says Hate Speech is something that i can investigate . Thats a tough one, jake. And Jewel Yashgs the Gunmans Exwife also said that he spoke angrily about Coworcoworkers Decade ago. Would any of that raise red flags for the red Flag Law they have in california which would prevent somebody from being able to purchase a firearm . This is the limitation of the red Flag Laws. In other words, an exwife may not be a legitimate witness. What you need to trigger the red Flag Law is a number of people in the community who reliable to trigger it. Way dont know where he got the ammunition from and when he purchased it in it terms of the allegations. But what we do know now is there is a number of pieces that now Look in hindsight should have been put together. The f the employer seems to have no idea that the guy is holding on to these things. Once again, I Cant say it enough. There is no Magic Bullet to saving more americans lives. But the more pieces that we can try to basically slow down this slaughter, you know, maybe we can just try to limit the number of mass killings we have. Im not naive. I know there is not a single solution. I just want, you know, 1,000 things thrown at the wall at this stage to try to limit this, you know, this carnage. Thank you both.

Were back with top republicans saying theyre extremely confident they will be able to defeat this Vote Tonight on this key bill which would create a January 6th commission. A bipartisan commission, meant to investigate the Dealy Insurrection of January 6th. Frankly, its unusual for senators to not want to have a bipartisan commission to Look into something like this. In fact, manufacture the republicans who are expected to vote Know Tonight were out there saying that they wanted an investigation like this a few days after the January 6th attack. Yeah. Look no further than senator john cornyn, a member of represent leadership. Someone who said in february they should have a commission. He said i agree with nancy pelosi. He said that at that time. But just earlier this week when i asked him about that tweet, he said times have changed. And the committee and they could essentially in his view be something that could be detrimental to the republicans going forward because of the overall concern that they democrats would somehow hijack this process. And republicans and they have the joint subpoena power. But the overall concern that Mitch Mcconnell and others are voicing publicly and privately is the fear that having it commission and this is heading into the 2022 mid terms and the control of congress is at stake. That is not a principle show. Today the mother of fallen Capitol Police Officer Ryan Sicknick who died in the attack, she met with multiple Republicans Today on Capitol Hill. What did she have to say to them . Well, she wanted to talk about her experience with the loss of Brian Sicknick died after defending this building here. Tried to urge them to vote in favor of the commission that was what she said to republican snores. Even those planning to vote against it tonight. This was to uphold the constitution. And right now i dont think theyre doing that. So these meetings, though, dont appear to have changed many minds. Republican senators have come out afterwards and said they simply disagree with her. He had said the meetings are civil and listen to her concerns about the loss of her son here. But they say that end of the day, the votes havent changed. All right. Thank you so much. New reporting right now that is first on cnn. A group of four Homeland Security Department Secretary whos served in the Bush And Obama administrations are issuing a joint statement calling on the senate to put politics aside. Were also hearing from Capitol Hill Police Offmany of whom say become political pawns that were sworn to protect. As Whitney Wild now reports. Police officers on January 6th brought lingering trauma and what was on the Capital Police officers has only gotten worse. And come to whitewash at tack suggesting it was a normal day. You would think that it was a normal tour. It was a slap in the face and its like its kind of like being dismissed as our opinions and what we experienced. Hurt and ignored. We spoke with more than a dozen current and former officers anonymously so they could openly share their feelings. Some officers told cnn some members and snaf seem to dismiss their authority even after proving their dedication through blood, sweat, and many tears. One officer they treat us like terrorists. Another officer who left the department saying they think were like servants adding, i would rather have to deal with people overdosing on drugs than deal with members staff. According to one Law Enforcement source, more are expected soon. Officers say Thinning Ranks have left some of them on the job without days off. One is working more than two weeks straight. They try to disrupt our democracy. They failed. Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnells words convinced another officer who spoke to cnn that congress was committed to finding the truth about the riot. I got fooled the officer said. Some officials hoped a January 6 commission will bring about meaningful change, an opportunity they now worry will be missed. We are political pawns, an officer said. Now the people we are sworn to protect and protect on the sixth dont want to fund us or figure out what really happened that day. Jake, officers also feel like theyve been thrust into the political fray in smaller ways as well. For example, manning the Metal Detectors outside the House Chamber has them feeling more like hall monitors. Theyre citing members for rules violations. Again, feeling more like hall monitors than police officers, jake. Next, the cnn Exclusive Showing that some Action Dz Work to get more americans vaccinated.

Gracias, San Francisco. Thank you. [ speaks native language ] lets keep Making A Differene together. In our health lead, good news about the battle with covid19. Data obtained exclusively by cnn shows an interested in getting vaccinated increased after the cdc announced that fully vaccinated americans, adults can take off their masks, a sign that promise of life returning to normal works in convincing people to get shots in their arms. Elizabeth cohen joins us to tell us more. What the more can you tell us about this new data . You know this is very interesting, jake. There are so many questions, did that make their announcement change anything when the doctor, director of the cdc said if it youre vaccinated, you can take your masks off, indoors, outdoors, in most situations. So we went to vaccines. Gov. Thats where you put in your Zip Code and get a list of places that offer a vaccine. Look what happened when the doctor made her announcement. Start on the left, the numbers were even. And then at around noon they dipped down. That is typical for vaccines goff. B vaccines. Gov. Look at noon, thats when she made the announcement and the numbers went up. That is very atypical for this site at this time. And they kept going up and you see they reached a peak when President Biden spoke about this at a White House briefing. The numbers then went down. They stayed up compared to the previous week. Pt so there was some sustained interest. Now lets take a Look at actual vaccinations. Thats what were really interested in. April 11th, we started a downward slope. You see that kind of like Ski Mountain going down. Thats not good. Vaccinations are going down. Then walensky made the announcement, they went up. At the almost exact same day she made her announcement, 12 to 15yearolds were allowed to get vaccines. Not surprising when you add 17 Million people to the list of people who can get vaccinated. The numbers would go up. But still, we did the math to factor out the young people, still, the numbers went up. Jake . Elizabeth, President Biden says the director of national Intelligence Report on the origins of covid19 will be declassified when that report is issued. What might we find in that report . You know, there are several things that experts tell me we should be Looking for. So you want to Look for when these people in the lab got sick. What were they tested for . Were they tested for other things that Look like covid19 . Were blad samples taken and were they maintained . Dough with have blad samples from the workers at that time . That is really crucial. Because that can tell us a lot. Now were told by a u. S. Investigator who worked for the World Health Organization that these folks, these workers tested negative for covid19 antibodies. The what test was done . It is the right one . Can we see it . Can we retest those people . All right. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. The chairman of the house foreign Affairs Committee Gregory Meeks joins us now. Thank you for joining us. So President Biden says the Dn Ireport will be released in a declassified version. If it is proven that the virus did start in a lab in wuhan, what would be the appropriate step for the u. S. To take . Number one, thanks for having me, jake. It is good to be on with you. I believe that with the President S doing is a very good thing. Let it be classified and we had C Classified Neatings of which I Cant discuss. I think the president is doing it so it become very apparent to the american people that we note takes what takes place if the Intelligence Agency can let us know. I think then we can take the appropriate action as well as make sure that were prepared to prevent and analyze the deficiencies in our response to the pandemic which took place in what we need to do to make sure that it never happens again. And working in coordination with the World Health Organization and making sure that happens. I think that and holding folks accountable at the result of that. Let me ask you another question related to china. Some american companies such as cocacola, nike, theyre suspected of directly benefiting from chinese forced labor of Uighurs Muslims being held in Concentration Camps in china. As you know, the u. S. State department labelled what the chinese government is doing uighurs as genocide. Do you think they will pass and does more need to be done even . Absolutely. Well, they will pass out of our kmchlt in fact, just this last week, we i introduced a bill called the global Leadership And Engagement act or the eagle act. And what we put in that bill which well be marking up in our committee and hopefully will get it passed before The End of the summer, you know, bolstered out of diplomacy, having cooperation because were doing this with partners and allies. And also putting america in the lead so that we can hold china accountable for what is happening with the uighurs. And we have to stand Human Rights and climate is accountable in the act so that were standing up for what our true values are. So, yes, the specific answer to your question, i think the bills will pass the house. And, yes, were coming forward with a strong bill that specifically deals with china and some of the challenges in the act. And theyre working with and starting in in the beginning now. Were planning for the potential evacuation of the afghan nationals who work for the u. S. Translators, et cetera. They worked for the u. S. Could make them taliban targets after the u. S. Has kmecompletely withdrawn from afghanistan. How can you ensure the protection . Where should they go . Is the u. S. Government operating as if this is the emergency that it truly is . Yeah, i think that were Looking right now at several members of congress and folks on the committee and what we can do to expedite some individuals who might be in danger as a result of them cooperating with us and lifting certain Visa Requirements to get them here in a quick and timely fashion. For example,ive seen one where we talk about lifting the requirement to get a Health Requirement initially. They can get examined once theyre here. So i think that were Looking at it. I mean, i believe that the biden administration has done the right thing. Were not going to have a Military Solution to afghanistan. Weve been there for over 30 years. I dont think there is anything else to do there. You have to Look at it in a diplomatic forum. Make sure we protect our diplomats and also get those that are in jeopardy that were supporting and see we can give them Refuge Right here in the United States. Lastly, sir. I want to ask you, Secretary Of State blinken told axios when he was in the region he warned israeli leaders that further evictions of palestinians in East Jerusalem or further unrest on the Temple Mount could spark renewed tension, conflict, and war. Do you think that is the right step, the right warning for blinken to be giving to the israelis . And what more needs to be done to bring more peace to the region . Well, i think that what has to be done is we have to step back and to the table and get both sides of the table so we can negotiate a two State Solution so they can live and work collectively together. I have had some great hope when i started Looking at the Abraham Accords here other countries, m muslim countries that are acknowledging their right to exist and talking about how they can exist, work, trade, benefit from technology together. We need that kind of dialogue and conversation. Now i agree with Secretary Blinken in that i dont think the way to go is to have further annexation of property. I think that weve got i agree with the biden administration when theyre Looking at making sure there is humanitarian assistance for the area. And i also agree that israel has the right to defend itself and shooting 4,000 rockets at israel, thank god we did have the Dome Defense Mechanism that was there to protect israel. I think that weve got to Look at it. Looking at it means that, yes, i dont believe that we need annexation of land is not the appropriate way to go. That needs to come to a halt. Chairman of the house foreign Affairs Committee, Gregory Meeks, thank you so much, sir. Good to see you today. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Breaking news out of louisiana. Family supporters of a Black Man who died after State Troopers tased him and dragged him are marching now at the State Capitol. Were live at the scene. Stay with us. We Welcome Change .

A man dragged by troopers two years ago after which he died, marching just moments ago at the State Capitol in baton rouge. The march happened after the family met with louisianas democratic governor john edwards. Lets get to Nick Valencia live in baton rouge. Nick, you spoke with mr. Greens mother. What did she have to say to you . The meeting was nothing of substance. It lasted 45 minutes, jake, and said that meeting, the mood in there was really respectful but also tense. They asked for demands to be open to new information. And open to the information that they have seen so far. The governor did release a statement saying he is praying for the family and the actions of those officers seen on the Body Camera do not represent how he wants Louisiana State to be seen here. However, the family has not been kept perfect calling this a coverup. Just how the evidence trickled out. Remember, we should remind our viewers that the Body Cam Footage was not officially released by the pleolice. It was leaked to the Associated Press and we saw the highest ranking officer on the scene did not originally submit the Body Cam Footage to investigators. Its because of that that the family has called this a coverup. They did remain hopeful. After meeting with the district attorney, they said it should be a matter of days, perhaps week that we see arrests and perhaps even charges in this case. However, the attorney, one of the familys attorney, said this is a statement that does not have a taste for justice. He called out the governor here, John Bell edwards, a democrat, for scolding the family for talking about this incident. They dont believe that the authorities here and the people in power have been transparent all along. Today marks 747 days since the death of Ronald Greene and told to the family that he died as a result of his injuries caused in a car crash. We all saw the video. What we saw on tape was a murder caught on film. Jake . All right. Nick valencia in baton rouge, thank you. Appreciate it. Turning to our politics now, President Biden says hell meet with republican senator Shelly Moore of West Virginia next week on infrastructure. After republicans presented their 928 Billion offer to his 1. 7 trillion Counter Offer. The White House saying that they will consider the republicans latest proposal. As Kaitlyn Collins reports for us now, hundreds of billions of dollars away from where biden wants it to be. Quet is really if there is any chance of any compromise at this stage. These are generational investments. Private sector does not make these kind of investments. President biden underlying his push for a sweeping Infrastructure Plan in cleveland today. The United States of america is viewed to have the 13th best infrastructure in the world. Come on. This is the United States of america. Reporter but in washington, the White House and republicans are still deeply divided in attempting to salvage negotiations. We believe this Counter Offer delivers on what President Biden told us. Sticking to core physical infrastructure. Republicans today releasing a 930 Billion Counter Offer that would provide 260 Billion in new spending, a fraction of what biden wants in his latest 1. 7 trillion offer. Instead of Raising Taxes on ko corporations, they want to repurpose funds. This is something that will work. It will help the country and help us move forward. The Ples Secretary quickly dismissing that. We think there are better ways to pay for it. We think people should have a full understanding of what that is proposing. The president is under pressure from his party to move on from talks with republicans. Its an old expression, Fish Or Cut bait. Biden setting another meeting with top Gop Negotiator while warning the window for talking is closing. Hes going to contact me next week. I told him we have to finish this really soon. But were going to have to close this down. Amid the tense talks, President Biden is also preparing to unveil his budget. Can you confirm the top Line Number . Well confirm that. That will be distributed. Sources say he proposes a 6 Trillion Budget Tomorrow that would send the u. S. To the highest levels of federal spending since World War ii. Jake, youre seeing all these offers and Counter Offers go back and forth between the White House and republicans. The but the bottom line is they still dont even agree on how to fund an infrastructure proposal. President biden saying he wants to raise taxes on corporations and we will yij americans, something republicans said theyre opposed to. The White House said today and makes clear that theyre opposed to. So, jake, they appear to be at a bit of a cross roads. Indeed. Kaitlyn, let me ask you, with congress gone next week, for what they call memorial Day Holiday Work district area. When does the White House think theyre actually going to be able to restart talks with republicans . It is next week or the week after . When . Well, you heard President Biden say he believes he was going to meet with the senator next week. Its not wleeclear when that wi happen. Congress is not back until june 7th. That could push the talks two weeks. A lot of lawmakers are hoping to get action this week. If not, you have seen democrats ramping up that pressure on the own Party Leaders to move on from working with republicans here to just try to get a really big Infrastructure Deal passed. And so whether or not it ultimately comes to that, it remains to be seen. But the White House is still trying to say they are working towards bipartisanship, jake. It doesnt seem like there is a lot of movement in One Direction for both sides. Yeah. Kaitlyn collins, thank you. Next, two Iranian Americans still detained in iran, left behind when other americans were freed. Now Family Members are telling cnn he fears what will happen if his Father And Brother are forgotten yet again. They will kill my father for sure. It will destroy me. Its, oh, so quiet shhhh shhhh its, oh, so still shhhh shhhh and so peaceful until. You blow a Fuse Zing Boom the devil cuts loose. Zing boom so whats the use. Wow bam of falling in love . Did you know you can go to libertymutual. Com to customizes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Really . I didnt aah ok. Im on vibrate. Aaah only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. In our world lead, a heartbreaking story, a Family Member two of Rhinian Americans who are currently being detained by the tehran regime is speaking out. He doesnt want him to forget about the Loved Ones that stand accused of working with the u. S. Undescribable nightmare. Both his brother and his elderly father are detained in iran. And while the biden administration is in talks to reenter the Eye Rain nuclear deal, he is worried about them getting left behind again. His concerns are justified. American prisoners will released from iran in 2016 on the same day the u. S. Officially entered the iran nuclear deal. Then in 2019, as part of a prisoner swap, and once again just last year. But every time the box Family Members remained in iran. Each time i saw lights at The End of the tubnnel. He fears for their lives every day. Particularly if they are abandoned once again. I have No Doubt that my dad will not survive. He said so much himself. I mean how much can any Human Being endure in these kind of conditions to be mistreated, to be tortured six years of this going on. And then also be betrayed by your own government. The Familys Nightmare started when he was taken into custody in 2015. Accused of working with the u. S. Government which the family denies. The following year when american prisoners were freed as the iran deal was implemented, he was told his brother would be released within weeks. But that never happened. I tried and fail catastrophically. He was not released. Within weeks my dad was taken. And as well as other hostages. Reporter his father flew to iran to get his son out and thats when he was arrested by iranian authorities, charged with the same alleged crime. While in prison, the 84yearold had Heart Surgery and nearly died. He is still not allowed to leave iran. He says his brother has been tortured in the prison. He was beaten up physically, taseds, tied down. He had wires connected to him with threads of electricity. He is in washington this week. He will meet with members of congress and see State Department officials who he is in regular contact with. Hes requested a your heart has been broken multiple times before, right . What gives you any confidence that this time it wont happen again . I dont have a good answer. I guess faith in humanity. I still have that faith. Reporter the State Department says securing their release is a top priority. We cant forget them. Everything that happens on the nuclear side, whether we succeed or fail, our goal is to get them back home. Reporter there are talks that the iran deal are happening in parallel to discussions about the release of his Father And Brother, but he says the release may require bold action. I think the expectation i have about President Biden, which ive had from all other President S, is to be prepared to make difficult decisions, to make courageous decisions. Reporter jake, one thing i want to point out is the weight on his shoulders is truly unimaginable. He says that this engulfs him every single day from the minute he wakes up until the time he goes to bed at night. One devastating thing is his son recently graduated from college and he was just torn apart that both his son and his Father Couldnt attend. Awful. Coming up next, a stunning report alleging that Donald Trump before he was president tried to bribe a u. S. Senator to stop investigating his favorite football team.

Japan is about to decide whether to extend a State Of Emergency in tokyo as that country faces a fourth wave of new covid cases and is about to see the Summer Olympics start in just two months. There has been widespread criticism from Health Experts including the head of the japanese Doctors Union who says if the games go on, it could lead to more strain. Cancelling the olympics obviously would be a huge deal and would be very expensive. Should the olympics happen in a country where only 2 of the population is vaccinated . Thats the problem, jake. Its 23 . When you consider that were at 40 or so and japan has known for years theyre hosting the olympic games, you would have thought just out of Civic Pride alone that you would have gone ahead and gotten as many people vaccinated as possible. Thats the problem moving forward, because if there is another outbreak in three or four weeks, thats when the difficult decision is made. Right now the ioc is moving forward, the olympics are on. Ive covered 18 in a row. Im gearing up to cover this one. If you dont have the olympics, its a Sports Tragedy but obviously if you have the olympics, could it be a national or international tragedy . Thats what everyone is weighing. What a shame because this was supposed to be the worlds coming out party after covid. Instead its magnifying all the problems were still having. Espn has a new piece out that claims that president trump, before he was president , tried to bribe by offering campaign Contributions Thensenator Arlen specter of pennsylvania. Trump was said to have been doing this on behalf of Patriots Owner Robert kraft who also denies this. This is all according to arlen specters son. The Washington Post has corroborated some of it. I think the reason this is resonating is because it is so believable. Obviously, we dont know for a fact, but you have some credible sources saying that Donald Trump was trying to bribe a u. S.
