And we have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within. There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdainful pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit and it is our continuing duty to confront them. Those who seek to maim and kill members of our duly elected government are children of the same foul spirit as those who try to destroy americas institutions 20 years ago. A stark message in how anyone feels about president george w. Bush, you may think a message that condemns extremists abroad and at home is Something Everybody can agree on. Even though george w. Bush mentioned no names, one person clearly heard something that sounded familiar in the Phrase Disdain for pluralism or maybe it was the foul spirit. Because based on his response, the 45th President Of The United States clearly felt, hey, that sounds like me. He responded today by saying Bush Isnt a winner and that he shouldnt be lecturing us about anything. Or maybe trump just thinks someone has to stick up for domestic terrorists because they dont get enough love. To misquote shakespeare, the Liar Doth Protest too much, me thinks. If you think thats unfair look at how he chose to spend September 11th. For trump it was about attacks, lies and selfaggrandizement. He made quick stops at a Firehouse And Police station in Midtown Manhattan and cut a video for a religious event at the mall in d. C. By the Look And Sound of them, you would think they were political rallies because he was the center of attention. A big entrance, glad handing and of course attacking the current president. This time over the afghanistan pullout, one he of course shares the blame for. Again, this was on September 11th. At the Police Station he claimed and i hate to talk about it on this day. Well, you could have fooled anyone who watched because there he was at the Police Station, at the fire department, in that video at the religious event talking about it. And not just about afghanistan, but the Big Lie at the heart of the January 6th riot and that far right rally this coming weekend. We have a rigged election. You gave me great support. We win the election but what are you going to do . We are fighting like hell and were going to keep fighting. The election was rigged. If they fought the war the way they fought the election where they stole it, i dont even say stole it, they rigged it. Again, that was at a Police Station and then a Fire Station in new York City on September 11th. While other president s were attending solemn events dedicated to the memories of those whose lives were lost. Later the former president provided commentary for a Payperview Boxing Match along with his eldest son. This is how he chose to remember 9 11. All in all, indecency at its most indecent. And the oneterm former president , his relevance, though, cannot be easily dismissed. New polling from cnn shows that among republican voters, almost twothirds believe he should be the republican partys leader. 63 said yes. Only 37 said no. But republican voters are almost evenly split on whether he should run in 2024. 51 say yes but the difference is within the margin of error. What also cant be dismissed is that Bidens Predecessor attacked Bushs Message the same day the Capitol Police arrested a man who had multiple knives in his truck, a truck with a swastika and other white supremacist symbols painted on it this morning near the democratic national committee. Quoting former President Bush again, children of the same foul spirit, and it is our continuing duty to confront them. Im joined now by republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger who serves ot foreign Affairs Committee and is also a member of the house select committee investigating the January 6th riots. Congressman kinzinger, thank you for being with us. The fact that the former president , Donald Trump, was somehow offended by george w. Bushs condemnation of domestic terrorists, what does that tell you . So it tells me two things, first off. He just i mean he proved george w. s point as quickly and as amazingly as you can. I mean the fact that hes out there dividing on a day if we have to pick one day besides like christmas to be unified, probably September 11th is a good candidate for that. But the other thing, and as a quick aside to anybody that is still looking at Donald Trump as a standard bearer for the republican party, this is one of the weakest men that ive ever seen. I mean if you think about it, you know, what is strength . Strength Isnt Somebody that just gets their dander up every time because they have such a lack of selfesteem that they have to go attack. Somebody with strength can take criticism, can go out on a day like September 11th and bring people together. Folks on my side like to use the Term Snowflake when talking about people that get offended real easy, and thats Donald Trump. He just went out and proved george w. Bushs point. There needs to be more people it was so great to hear President Bush say this because theres just been a lack of people out there saying what needs to be said. You consider Donald Trump weak . Oh, certainly. I mean i guess to the extent that strength is what people perceive you have and people look at him and the party and hes obviously the frontrunner and of course he was a former president. I guess to the extent there, there may be some strength. But i look at who he is as a person. And the amount of offended he gets on anything and how he has to go out and punch down. I mean Hell Attack a radio host, for goodness sakes, when he was President Of The United States. That to me, at least how i grew up as a kid born in central illinois, that to me was always weakness. Like strength was kind of that steady, calm ability in a rough storm to maintain your steady focus. Certainly that is not the former president. Have you heard any upset or disquiet in republican leadership over how Donald Trump chose to spend September 11th . No. I mean im not really in the favor of republican leadership right now. That in and of itself is telling because i havent changed an ounce in the last 11 years. Ive been pretty consistent on who i am. But yet, you know, look at just a week ago he put out an entire statement about robert e. Lee and how general lee could have won in afghanistan even though robert e. Lee lost the civil war. I mean and i didnt hear anything condemning that. So i guess ive run out of hope that leadership would try to distance itself. Weve just gotten so tribal in this country. It really is a point, i think, we all need to selfreflect. I dont know if we will, i hope so, but we are so tribal that crazy stuff like this can be said and it just, you know, goes over our heads in many cases. When you say crazy stuff like this, look, a source tells cnn that preparations obviously are going on right now at the capitol for this event this saturday. Law Enforcement Worry that some of the protesters could be armed. Its called justice for January 6th. That is the name of this rally. Justice for January 6th. And i guess these are the people the president defended in a statement, the former president Donald Trump defended in a statement today. Yeah. And lets think about this. These are people that would identify as militia members. These are the ones that kind of lust after and fettishize this whole idea of overthrowing the federal government because now the federal government might bring you a vaccine conveniently, we have to overthrow it. And thats what youre dealing with. So i hope this rally obviously isnt violent. Thats my hope. I guess thats my expectation. But the fact that were sitting here and that this is now a common occurrence, this is where we have to take inventory of where weve come. You know, for instance, supporting the second amendment, as i do, doesnt mean you support that people should be able to walk with an ar15 and occupy the michigan state capitol. I mean theres a point at which we have to just look around and go is this really what we want our kids and how are we ever going to get out of this such tribal divided moment were in, you know, without people having to take tough decisions and get past their own personal animosity because otherwise this is just going to grow to a really bad place. You say its going to. Look, the republican party to an extent has chosen, at least as of today, what direction they want to go in. The new Cnn Poll i mentioned earlier where you show a clear majority of republicans say that trump is the leader. How do you reconcile that. Youre right. Youre right. You know, its slightly better than it was five months ago. But if you look, i mean theres a few of my colleagues that will occasionally speak out. I have one, Liz Cheney, that speaks out as much as i do. But, you know, if youre a republican Base Voter and you look at every leader that you know, that you trust thats a Republican And None of them say anything. In fact theres this kind of quiet, you know, acquiescence to, yeah, the election was stolen because i dont want to have to stand up and tell you it wasnt, i guess maybe we should be impressed that a third of republicans still dont. But thats why leadership is so important. You know, for some Reason Weve gone from when we were in High School Thinking that when you get elected you actually lead people to now believing that when you get elected you just have to watch public opinion and become a dog chasing your tail into traffic. I guess one of the things i found striking in all of this is that the country has come to the point where a significant number of people are actually defending, publicly defending what happened on January 6th. I mean that was the thrust of Trumps Statement about george w. Bush. Thats the thrust of this event thats going to be at the capitol this saturday. It is now a defense, pride almost, in what took place. Youre right. And this is why, you know, i have made the decision to be on the January 6th committee. I think why i can say Liz Cheney has as well is because we realize that without this nonpartisan investigation of what happened, youre going to have this retelling of history to where it almost becomes a heroic event. The number of people i talk to that tell me that there was no violence there or they tell me that this was still antifa or the fbi drove this, or even if they admit that it was, you know, trump supporters, that that was okay because in this moment, when an election is stolen, that is our duty. Well, look, if an election really was stolen and the government was shutting down elections, thats different. But thats not what happened. But the problem is leaders wont stand up and tell people the truth because for whatever reason, this job that pays 174,000 a year and you can put a title in front of your name is worth more than your integrity in some cases. I dont get it. Its the parking space. Listen, congressman, i want to shift gears here because secretary of State Antony Blinken was part of this congressional hearing on the withdrawal of afghanistan. This was something you were a part of today. How satisfied were you with what he had to say . Completely unsatisfied. I think there were a couple of points that stood out to me. I asked the secretary specifically, theres discussion about recognizing the taliban now. I said tell me at what point did the taliban in essence become the Governing Group of afghanistan, or was this an armed coup . He just said, well, by default theyre now in charge. Well, thats us acquiescing to a coup detat. We still dont have answers on how many afghan sivs have been pulled out. The thing that concerns me a lot is what i hear on the ground on who is not allowed to get out of afghanistan versus what were being told by state are two totally different things. One person, one of the entities is not telling the full truth. History will show that. I give him credit for coming in front of the Committee And Hell be in front of the senate later this week or tomorrow. Im certainly not satisfied, though. Congressman Adam Kinzinger, i do appreciate your time tonight. Thank you very much. You bet. Still to come, the california Recall Election, a long time in the making. It finally finishes up tomorrow.

President biden spent the afternoon in california touring the damage left behind from the recent wildfires. In a few hours he will appear with governor Gavin Newsom, the final Campaign Rally before the states gubernatorial Recall Election wraps up tomorrow. The recall has drawn a slew of bigname democrats to the state to support the governor, including our next guest, Senator Amy Klobuchar. Before we go to her, cnns John King at the Magic Wall to break it all down for us. John, its the final night of the quirky California Recall Campaign and tomorrow we fill in the map and count the votes. This is a yes or no election. Yes, recall your democratic governor. No, keep Gavin Newsom and his policies in place, let him finish the term that he was elected in 2018. Democrats enter this race confident and heres one of the reasons why. If you look at the data, ballots returned so far, a lot of this election is early voting, people sending these back by mail. Political data is a Tracking Firm that works with democrats and nonprofit groups. More than half of the ballots returned by democrats. They have a 21 Registration Advantage. Right now 52 from democrats, 25 from republicans. Democrats think theyre even exceeding their Registration Advantage in the returns. Now we have to count the votes but democrats are happy. Heres another reason democrats are happy. Just the history of california. Yes, 13 years ago Gray Davis was recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger won. California is even more democratic now than it was then. When Governor Newsom won in 2018, 62 of the vote. Look at all that blue. Remember where the red is. Joe biden in the president ial election last year won by even more, 63 plus of the vote. Again, look at all that blue. This is the republican part of california. Lets come back to this Governors Race because the people who want to recall Gavin Newsom are the same people who did not vote for him in the first place. Lets look at how the Recall Campaign came about. You have to sign signatures, petitions to get it on the ballot. The deeper the purple, the higher the percentage of where the signatures came from in those counties. In the republican places that didnt Like Newsom to begin with, those are the people trying to push him out. Republicans need an overwhelming turnout. Overwhelming Election Day Turnout but more than that. If the republicans are going to have a prayer here, the big surprise, can they retake Orange County . In ronald reagans days this was the bedrock of the california republican party. A lot has changed since then but watch Orange County Tomorrow Night. You see it was close for Gavin Newsom in 2018. This would have to be a yes Tomorrow Night for Gavin Newsom to be recalled. Also look down here in san diego county. Again, is there a republican resurgence in this part of the state . Used to be a strong state republican party here. Not so much anymore but well watch this as it plays out as well. Again, this is an overwhelmingly democratic state. The governor was the mayor of san francisco. Watch the bay area. San francisco, oakland, the counties around there. If turnout is up, is decent, hes likely safe. Watch Los Angeles County down here, the largest, most populous area. Is the latino vote turning out for democrats or at least not voting yes, thats what well see down here. On the final night of the campaign, republicans look at this history and they think when were filling in the map Tomorrow Night on question 1, the answer will be blue, no, but well count them. We will count them. We will be there all night long counting ballots. Thank you, john, for that. Perspective on the race from democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar from minnesota who went to california to campaign for governor Gavin Newsom. Senator, thanks for being with us. Why . Why was it so important for you to go to california . Why is it important to you as a national democrat and why is it important to you in the senate . Look at whats happening here, john. This is a governor that basically has gotten one of the highest Vaccination Rates in the country. Minnesota has done pretty well too with our governor. The fires are still raging across california. Hes been willing to take on Climate Change. And one of his leading opponents actually called Climate Change a crock. Then you have what happened in texas, and i think that matters, where you had a republican governor and i dont think california even moderate republicans, independents, of course democrats, dont want to see this. A bill passed signed into law by a Trump Republican that basically makes the citizens of that state into Bounty Hunters to basically get paid 10,000 if they turn in a woman for simply exercising her constitutional right to access abortion services. All of those things matter right now in california. And i actually was in Orange County. Thats where i campaigned to vote no on the recall and campaigned with the governor because i was listening to john and, you know, we have a lot of democratic victories in that county. So larry elder, whos the leading republican right now and the former president , Donald Trump, have both already they havent done voting yet but theyre both already saying if they lose, if the republicans lose on the recall, then the election may have been rigged. How much of a problem is it that now we do have one side no, no, you have one side that basically is going to say any election they lose was somehow stolen. By the way, that is the argument for for the people and having some federal standards in place for elections because this is just ridiculous. Theyre making this up, sadly, and we hope it goes better this time. A lot of this was spread across social media. And thats why we want to pass our federal election bill. Its going to be so important. You cant have after every election Donald Trump and his cronies claiming, oh, its a lie, i actually won. We are feeling so good about tomorrow because the people of california, as you noted, are turning out. They have until 8 00 p. M. Tomorrow to vote. They can vote in person, they can drop off their ballots in a dropoff box, they are mail them in. I just believe the night before an election is where you talk about the truth. And the truth is this recall is bad for california. Its set up by Donald Trump and his cronies and i believe thats why were going to win and theyre going to vote and theyre going to vote strong. How much is the Pandemic Response on the ballot . There are republicans who said who say that Gavin Newsoms, the way he reacted was too many regulations, too many rules. Is that something youre looking for . Look at what happened last year before Joe Biden came in where this pandemic was running Out Of Control and there wasnt really a good plan to distribute the vaccines. What has happened since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, they put in a competent team. We know this is hard, theres been variants of this virus, were in the middle of one right now, that they got that vaccine distributed. They got the facts out. They didnt hide from the facts and that exactly what Governor Newsom has done in the state of california. Getting the vaccine out for people, encouraging them to take it, give them the facts, get it out to the rural areas in every corner of california, every corner of minnesota, and it has made a difference. Thats why so many people are doing better now, starting to go back to work. We know we still arent completely done with this, but there is a, as we say in duluth, minnesota, a lighthouse on the horizon. Were going to get through this together. I just want to close, you recently disclosed that you were diagnosed and treated for Stage 11a Breast answer. You call It Cancer that all of us fear. How are you feeling now and what message do you have for others who may be hearing that word too . Well, im feeling good, john. For me it got caught early. They did a lumpectomy. I got the radiation. Now i want people to know that i waited a year when i should have had that mammogram because of the pandemic. And a lot of people are waiting. They think thousands of women have undetected Breast Cancer right now. One in three americans have put off just regular exams. And so one of the most rewarding things about the last few days for me is so many people have told me that they scheduled their appointment and they know theyre going to be safe and they have got to go in there and do what they should have done maybe a year ago or two years ago. It saved my life and it can save many others. Were thrilled that you are doing well. So glad that is happening. Glad that it may be doing good for others as well. Senator klobuchar, thanks so much for being with us. Thanks, john. Still ahead, just days after texas passed the most restrictive Abortion Law in the country, its governor promised to eliminate rape from his state. Randi kaye shows us why this is much easier said than done. Her investigation, next. Then i discovered sofi. Completely changed my life. Lower interest rate. My principal is going down.

A judge in harris county, texas, announced she would present a resolution against the states antiabortion bill saying it is harmful to women. It is considered one of the most restrictive Abortion Laws because it essentially bans abortions at six weeks with no exceptions for rape or incest. When Texas Governor Greg abbott was asked how the law will affect Rape And Incest survivors, he said he intends to eliminate rape in his state. Rape is a crime. And texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from The Streets of texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off The Streets. So Goal Number one in the state of texas is to eliminate rape so that no woman, no person will be a victim of rape. He will have his work cut out for him. There have been as many as 18,000 rapes in a single year in texas. And right now theres a backlog of at least 5,000 Rape Kits in the state, meaning many rapists have not been caught. Cnns Randi Kaye has been investigating the backlog for several years and is in dallas with the latest. That would be a beautiful thing to see but its not going to happen. Its not realistic. Reporter lavinia masters isnt buying it. She has little hope Texas Governor Greg abbott can deliver on his promise to eliminate all rapists from The Streets of texas. How can the governor eliminate all rapists from The Street when the governor and the State Hasnt been able to eliminate the backlog of Rape Kits . Exactly. Thats the million dollar question. When you say things like that, its like its outlandish to say things in that manner. House bill 8 is now law. Reporter when Texas Governor Greg abbott signed into law the Lavinia Masters Act in 2019, she was there. The act was designed to audit untested Rape Kits across the state and set strict testing requirements. The Texas Department of public safety tells cnn as of august there are still 5,298 untested Rape Kits. But weve learned that number doesnt include the untested Rape Kits from 231 Law Enforcement agencies who did not report their numbers to the state. So the number could be much higher, which means thousands of rapists could be On The Run possibly raping others. How frustrated are you that thousands of Rape Kits are still setting unprocessed on the shelf . Im very frustrated. Reporter lavinia was raped at Knife Point back in 1985, she was just 13. Her own Rape Kit with her attackers dna, sat untested on a shelf for more than 20 years. By the time her attacker was identified, the statute of limitations had run out and the man was already in prison. He had been caught after raping two other women while Lavinias Kit sat on the shelf. We still have a lot of work to do. Its not an easy task. Its a heavy lift. Reporter Texas State Representative Victoria Niave has been working alongside lavinia for years to clear the Rape Kit backlog. At one point there were 19,000 untested kits. Each box is not just a Box Sitting on a shelf, it represents a survivors story, it represents an individual, a family who has been impacted by this. It represents women who are waiting for justice. And so we know that theres still more work to do. Reporter she says the state is making it a priority and has approved 50 Million to help test these kits. But with thousands of Rape Kits still on the shelf, that leaves a lot of women wondering who raped them and a lot of rapists on The Street. Thats the big reason why many reason do not report that they have been raped because they dont think that their case is going to be prosecuted. Reporter beyond the backlog, the new Texas Law banning abortions after six weeks even in the case of Rape And Incest infuriated lavinia. That makes absolutely no sense at all. No sense at all. Because you may not even know youre pregnant at six weeks. Exactly. Weve lost our control, weve lost our power and youre continuing to strip us by saying by six weeks if you dont get rid of that baby, you have to keep it. No, sir. Thats ludicrous. Reporter she knows if she had gotten pregnant and that law had had been in place, she would have had to carry and deliver her Rapists Child at 13. I didnt know who he was. A child wants to know their father. They dont know their background, they dont know their history. I dont know about their illnesses or anything. But i would be forced to carry that baby. Thats not thats not common thats not even common sense. Randi kaye joins us now. Randi, this is so important and so timely. Why are all these Rape Kits still on the shelf untested . Reporter a couple of reasons, john. One of those reasons is manpower. The State Representative told me they just dont have enough forensic analysts here in the state of texas. Also if you look at the Law Enforcement agencies, the police and sheriffs department, im told that they are just not processing those kits as quickly as they are supposed to be so now they have actually updated the Lavinia Masters Act so if now those agencies dont comply with Processing And Reporting in a timely manner as laid out in that act, they can lose some grant funding, john. Randi kaye, terrific work. Thanks so much for doing this tonight. Up next, why investigators have a lot of questions about Money And Murder and the patriarch of a prominent South Carolina family. Es deep inside the exposed dentin to help repair sensitive teeth. My patients are able to have that quality of life back. I recommend Sensodyne Repair and protect with deep repair. A deadly boating accident, a Double Murder and now a new mysterious shooting reported and allegations of Misappropriated Funds at a Law Firm. It sounds like a plot in a Pat Conroy novel but this is real life and swirls around a South Carolina family. Tonight the patriarch of that legal dynasty, alex Mar Urdaughs facing an investigation and investigators are digging into the other twists and turns involving the family. With more, heres cnns martin savidge. Reporter this is a story with more turns than a south Carolina Country road. It begins in the small town of hampton just over 100 years ago when residents like Randolph Murdaugh, was the 14th solicitor, most called district attorneys. Murdaughs with the supreme law for more than 3200 square miles of lowcountry. Its pretty well recognized in law that in Criminal Justice there is no figure more powerful than the prosecutor. Reporter keeping residents on the legal straight and narrow across five counties kept the Murdaugh Family well connected to Law Enforcement. And probably know Each Other pretty well socially too. Thats very often the case here, yes. Reporter the grip on the Solicitors Office ended in 2005 when Randolph Murdaugh iii retired. But the family also has a very successful Law Firm with offices in three counties, known for winning big settlements for their clients. For 53yearold alex mar urdaug known as big red, working at the Family Firm offered plenty of reward. He would head home to his 1700acre Estate and his beautiful family. He seemed to have Everything Everyone could want until one terrible night this past june. Its bad. Reporter Murdaugh Returned Home to find his Wife And Son shot to death out near the Dog Kennels on the vast property. And are they breathing . No, maam. You said its your wife and your son . My wife and my son. Reporter 52yearold Maggie Murdaugh was shot multiple times, sources say, with a Semiautomatic Rifle while 22yearold Paul Murdaugh had been shot at least twice with a shotgun. The gruesome scene suggested two shooters, leaving many wondering if the familys long legal history had played a role. Seth stoughton is a former Police Officer turned attorney and professor. Two weapons, two people possibly would suggest maybe this had been planned carefully. It certainly is not something that i would expect an investigator to rule out based on the evidence that im aware of thats been publicly available. Reporter Alex Murdaugh and his surviving son put up their own money for 100,000 reward for information. But at the bottom of the notice was an odd catch. The tip must be submitted to Law Enforcement on or before september 30th. Have you ever heard of an Expiration Date on a reward . I have not. South Carolinas Son and mother who were gunned down roe. Reporter it wasnt the only strange thing. In an interview on Good Morning America Murdaugh Family members said their nephew, paul, had been getting threatening messages online before he was killed. I didnt think it was a credible threat. If it was, i would have tried to do something or notified someone. But i guess maybe i made a mistake. Reporter the family says the threat started after a fatal boating accident. What bridge is this . 911, what is your emergency. Were in a Boat Crash on artis creek. We have someone missing. Reporter february 2019, beaufort, South Carolina, Paul Murdaugh and five friends all underage out for a night of partying. Images from investigation files obtained by cnn show Paul Murdaugh buying beer and buying more drinks at a bar. Everyone gets into a boat. Witnesses told Investigators Paul was driving. Investigators say the 17foot Boat struck a bridge at high speed. 19yearold Valerie Beach was thrown into the water. Please sent someone. Theres six of us and one is missing. Reporter it would take a week to find beachs body. Paul murdaugh was charged with boating under the influence resulting in death facing up to 25 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty. Despite the serious charges, still pending at the time of his killing, the night of the crash a Dash Cam Recording obtained by the Post And Cure yur captured The Voice of a passenger on the boat suggesting Paul Wasnt likely to face serious consequences. You all know Alex Murdaugh . Thats his son. Thats driving the boat . Good luck. Reporter it wouldnt be the first time someone suggested the murdaugh name could influence the outcome of an investigation. In the aftermath of the Mother And Son murders, s. L. E. D. Made a stunning announcement. During their investigation they said they found something. They wouldnt say what. But as a result they were going to reopen an investigation into another unsolved death from 2015. What is your emergency . I just went down the road and seen somebody laying out. Well get an officer headed out that way to see whats going on. I didnt move it or nothing like that, but somebody is going to hit it. Somebody is going to hit it. Reporter 19yearold Steven Smith was found dead in the Middle Of The Road in the middle of the night just outside hampton. There were no witnesses, but among classmates and friends there was a lot of Talk Police files show. One Family Name kept surfacing, a name many were reluctant to talk about to police leaving investigators obviously frustrated as Interview Recordings suggest. A lot of people seem a little nervous to say the name murdaugh. You know, i understand that theyre pretty big down there in hampton, but im out of charleston and that name doesnt mean anything to me. So i want you to feel, you know, like you dont have anything to worry about. Reporter No One has been arrested and no publicly linked evi Links Anyone in the Murdaugh Family to smiths death. In september of this year the Law Firm discovered Alex Murdaugh had allegedly stolen significant funds from the company. Sources tell cnn it was millions of dollars. Murdaugh had his own stunning admission, saying the murders of my Wife And Son have caused an incredibly difficult time in my life. Ive made a lot of decisions that i truly regret. Im resigning from my Law Firm and entering rehab after a long battle that has been exacerbated by these murders. His lawyer confirming an opioid addiction. But the biggest shock was still to come. He was shot in the head while changing a tire. Reporter the very next day, Alex Murdaugh says as he stopped on the side of the road looking at a leaky tire, a man in a Pickup Truck drove past, then turned around in a Church Parking Lot and returned. After a brief conversation, murdaugh told investigators the man shot him in the head. He was out of the hospital two days later. Somebody wondered if the shooting had been staged. Murdaughs Spokesperson Put out a statement denying it was selfinflicted. But the church where the truck turned around might just be the answer to investigators prayers. The church has a number of security cameras, a few that look in the general direction of where the shooting occurred down that way and another that looks directly into the Parking Lot where murdaugh says the Pickup Truck turned around. If theres video, it could provide clues about a suspect and Alex Murdaugh. What do you make of the shooting of Alex Murdaugh . I think its going to tremendously complicate the Investigators Job both for that shooting and also for the shooting of his Wife And Son. It introduces a set of possibilities and facts that investigators are going to have to spend a tremendous amount of time and Effort Winnowing through to figure out whether theyre connected, whether theyre not connected. Reporter with so many new questions and so few answers from investigators, many who thought they knew the friendly, wealthy, successful lawyer, big red, now wonder if they ever really knew him at all. We reecached out to every Entit And Everyone who is connected to this case. Were talking family, friends, Law Enforcement, lawyers. We even tried to reach political aquaintances. No one would sit down for an oncamera interview. It just goes to show you how people here have been so shocked by recent events. In fact some people told us had we showed up ten days earlier before the allegations of embezzlement, before the admission of a drug addiction, before the shooting on the side of the road, they would have talked to us. Now No One wants to talk because No One knows what to think, but just about everyone believes there is a lot more to know. John. Im exhausted by all the twists and turns, one after another after another. Martin savidge, what a story. Thanks so much for that.

Theyll be protesting the arrest of the January 6th rioters who couldnt accept the results of the 2020 election. How did we get here . Evan osnos decided to find out. He writes about it in his new book, wildland, the making of americas fury, and joining us now. This is a terrific book and its really framed between September 11th and January 6th. A period in which you say the united states lost its sense of unity. Its ability to come together. So what happened . How did it get to that point . The way i think of it, john, we sort of lost the ability to think of ourselves as larger than the sum of its parts in a way. You have to go back to remember that period after 9 11. We were obviously for good reason, we were afraid. There were people at the time who took advantage of it, lets be blunt. Political opportunists. Leaders of government who said this is my chance to make a name for myself. You began to see people talk about the threat from islam in ways that were out of accord with reality, and to the point that people began to get a distorted sense of what life was like in america. Theres a telling statistic, a survey done not too long ago in which americans were asked to estimate what share of the population they thought were muslim. Americans estimated 1 in 6. The real number is 1 in 100. Americans had been in a sense systematically misled, and it had begun to draw these lines which we saw on January 6th. We had Adam Kinzinger on earlier, and he said theres such a sense of tribalism that we wont get out of it unless politicians are willing to stand up and do things that may not be popular in their own selfinterest. What would that take . It was such an important point he made. One of the things we heard from former president george w. Bush over the weekend, one of the things he called out was a disdain for pluralism. What i thought when i heard that, that didnt happen overnight. Donald trump is the center of the phenomenon, but you have to connect the dots that go back a few years. As i write in the book, the first day i came back to work in the united states was the day in October Of 2013 when the government shut down and it shut down in effect because of a kind of political pageant on the part of some leaders like Senator Ted Cruz who decided he was going to advance his personal interests at the cost of the united states. The government was shut down for 16 days. It cost 24 billion. John, i looked up what that could have done for us. You could have sent a rover to the moon and back eight times over. You know, the cost to us as a country because of the vanities and the selfpromotion of some of our political leaders has begun to exact a toll we cant deny anymore. We have about 30 seconds left, evan. You were at the capitol on January 6th writing for the new yorker. You said it was like an inferno powered by the cynicism, unreason, and deception in u. S. Politics. What does it say that we have a rally in support of the insurrectionists happening this saturday . It tells you im afraid that apparatus of delusion that so many people who were there on that day participating in, it still exists. I think its deepened in some quarters. The encouraging news and i think you see that in some of the Data Cnn has is there are some people who are beginning to say Donald Trump is not the future of the party, but thats not yet the majority in his party. And its going to take a while. And its going to take leadership, and its not frankly something we see very much from the top of the republican party. Well continue this discuss. The book is wildland, on sale tomorrow. Thank you very much. Up next, an update on the Afghan Military Pilots who were stranded after the u. S. Pullout of afghanistan. Hey google.

Theres been a lot of questions about the u. S. Pullout from the country. Recently, we told you about some Afghan Military Pilots who were stranded. Tonight, we have an update and there is good news. Heres alex marquardt. Theyre among the most highly trained afghan forces. Pilots and crew members of the afghan Air Force. For the past month, they have been stranded after fleeing the taliban advance with their valuable planes and helicopters across the border into Neighboring Uzbekistan and tajikistan. They feared they would be sent back where the taliban is hunting for them. There were so many rumors that they were going to send us back to afghanistan. Thats why everyone was afraid, and everyone was worried about that. We have spoken with afghan pilots themselves and american veterans working to get them to the united states. Including retired general david hicks, who led the training of afghan pilots in the u. S. And has criticized the State Department for moving too slowly. The problem was there started to become members who wanted to go back to afghanistan because they were worried about their wives or their families and so you know, they were headed back or were going to go back for that reason. We brought you their story last week. Then over the weekend, Word Game they were finally on the move after four weeks. More than 460 pilots, maintainers, and Family Members loaded onto buses and charter planes, flyingu Uzbekistan Airways for further processing. One step closer to making it to the u. S. Where many want to end up, but fears remain. How worried are you that the remaining afghan Air Force personnel, Family Members are targets of the taliban now and wont be able to get out of the country . We know Air Force members or Family Members have been either detained or killed by the taliban, so its not like its something that may happen. It is something that is happening right now. So time is of the essence. Those concerns weighing on the pilots. If taliban understand that our families, parents, are in afghanistan, they will catch them until we show up. Since many have already been to the u. S. For training and fought so closely with american forces, the Visa Process is expected to go smoothly. Which would be a huge relief for the men who are forced to dramatically flee their native country and start life in a new one. I cant explain how happy i am. And its a big pleasure not only for me but for all that were in uzbekistan. On top of the Air Force personnel who have gotten out of uzbekistan, there are still around 140 more in neighboring tajikistan. General hicks has been tracking their cases as well and has told us that processing on them has started. John, between those two countries, around 60 planes and helicopters were flown out of afghanistan. What will happen to them remains unclear, but thanks to those pilots, the taliban will not get their hands on them. Nice to get some good news. Thank you so much for that report. So the news continues. Lets hand it over to chris for cuomo primetime. Im chris cuomo, and welcome to primetime. Now, 9 11 is heavy. 20year anniversary is heavy. And there were many of you saying the right things. I appreciate what you said to me and about the occasion. But there were still too many that were wearing never forget shirts and yet i was listening. Im seeing people fighting about stupid things, about lies, and about misinformation. And it reminded me of a quote because were in a bad place. And i say that because im desperate for us to get to a better place. Our chief want i
