>> Jesse: THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE, OF COURSE WILL.
>> Jesse: FOX NEWS ALERT.
BREAKING RIGHT NOW.
>> WORD OF A MAJOR BREACH OF
SECURITY ON CAPITOL HILL.
AT LEAST SEVEN PEOPLE WHO WORK
FOR THE COMEDIAN STEPHEN COLBERT
WERE ARRESTED AND JAILED LAST
NIGHT FOR BREACHING THE CAPITOL
BUILDING.
HERE WHAT HAPPENS WE KNOW RIGHT
NOW.
CAPITOL POLICE WERE CALLED
AROUND 8:30 FOR DISPUREB BANS AT
THE LONG WORTH HOUSE OFFICE
BUILDING.
THESE INDIVIDUALS, WHO WE HAVE
CONFIRMED WORK FOR THE LATE
SHOW, WERE SEEN ROAMING THE
BUILDING WHILE IT WAS CLOSED TO
VISITORS.
CAPITOL POLICE SAY THEY DID NOT
HAVE CONGRESSIONAL IDS AND WERE
NOT AUTHORIZED TO BE WALKING
AROUND WITHOUT AN ESCORT.
THEY WERE BOOKED AND THEY SPENT
THE NIGHT IN JAIL.
CONGRESSIONAL SOURCES TELL US
THEY WERE FILMING A SKIT ON THE
JANUARY 6TH HEARINGS AND WERE
BANGING ON THE DOORS OF OFFICES
PEOPLE LIKE KEVIN McCARTHY,
JIM JORDAN, REPUBLICANS, YOU
KNOW THE DEAL.
ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS ROBERT
SMIGLE WAS PICTURED WHEN HE WAS
IN THE CAPITOL YESTERDAY.
SMIGLE WHO IS A COMEDIAN
APPEARED ON THE COLBERT SHOW
SEVERAL TIMES AS YOU CAN SEE
HERE.
THE NAME OF THE OTHERS ON
CAPITOL HILL FROM THE SHOW ARE
JAKE PLUNKETT, ALLISON MARTINEZ,
TYRONE DEAN, STEVEN ROMAN,
NICOLETT THAT GREEN, BRENDAN
HURLEY, JOSH COMERS AND DAVID
FELDMAN.
I WANT TO POINT OUT THESE WERE
NOT LOW LEVEL PEOPLE WORKING FOR
COLBERT.
WE CAN CONFIRM JAKE PLUNKETT IS
A SENIOR PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR
AT THE SHOW.
JOSH COMERS IS A WRITER.
ALLISON MARTINEZ IS AN ASSOCIATE
PRODUCER.
WHO LET THEM INTO THE CAPITOL
ROUT AUTHORIZATION?
WELL, ACCORDING TO A
CONGRESSIONAL SOURCE?
IT WAS THE DEMOCRAT.
CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF AND
JAKE -- CONGRESSMAN RODNEY DAVIS
SITS ON THE COMMITTEE OF HOUSE
ADMINISTRATION AND OVERSEE HE IS
CAPITOL POLICE.
SO, CONGRESSMAN IS THERE AN
OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION OF THIS
TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW.
>> THIS IS SO NEW, JESSE.
WE JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE
ARREST TODAY AND I’M GOING TO
MAKE SURE WHEN WE GET BACK TO
WASHINGTON NEXT WEEK, WE ARE
GOING TO ASK THE QUESTIONS THAT
NEED TO BE ASKED.
WE WILL ASK THE SECURITY
OFFICIALS WHY THESE ARRESTS HAD
TO BE MADE.
WHAT WERE THEY DOING WITHOUT AN
ESCORT AT A TIME WHEN, YOU KNOW,
THE JANUARY 6TH SELECT COMMITTEE
ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
WATERGATE MADE IT LOOK LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE BERRY LOUDERMILK
SOMEHOW TOOK KIDS WITH GIFT BAGS
TO DO RECONNAISSANCE MISSIONS.
LET ME PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY
TOO, JESSE.
THE ONLY PEOPLE ARRESTED BY
CAPITOL POLICE FOR TOURING THE
HOUSE OFFICE BUILDINGS ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR STEPHEN
COLBERT IRONIC.
WE REACHED OUT TO THE CAPITOL
POLICE AND THEY CONFIRMED THIS
WITH US.
THEY SAID IT’S AN ONGOING
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION AND U.S.
ATTORNEYS ARE INVOLVED.
THEY ARE CHARGED WITH UNLAWFUL
ENTRY, WHICH, IF I’M NOT
MISTAKEN, THAT IS THE EXACT SAME
CHARGE AS MANY OF THE
JANUARY 6TH PROTESTERS WERE
CHARGED WITH; IS THAT RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
CERTAINLY SEEMS TO BE, JESSE.
>> Jesse: SO WHAT HAPPENS WITH
ADAM SCHIFF NOW AND THIS OTHER
CONGRESSMAN OUCHEN CLOSE?
ARE THEY COMPLICIT IN THIS
BREACH OF CAPITOL HILL SECURITY?
>> THAT’S WHY WE GOT TO GET MORE
INFORMATION, WE NEED AN
INVESTIGATION.
WE NEED MAKE SURE THAT WE
UNDERSTAND WHO IN THEIR OFFICES
BROUGHT THESE INDIVIDUALS IN
IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING THESE
INDIVIDUALS WERE BROUGHT IN BY
SOMEONE ASSOCIATED WITH ADAM
SCHIFF’S OFFICE.
THEY WERE OVER IN THE CAPITOL
BUILDING OR THE CANNON BUILDING
TRYING TO BE AROUND WHERE THE
CREDENTIALED MEDIA WERE SUPPOSED
TO BE STATIONED IN THE MIDST OF
THE JANUARY 6TH HEARING
YESTERDAY.
THE CREDENTIALED MEDIA WERE THE
ONES I’M HEARING THAT HAD THEM
ESCORTED OUT THE FIRST TIME
YESTERDAY THEN THEY CAME BACK.
IT’S MY UNDERSTANDING THEY WERE
OFFERED BACK INTO THE HOUSE
OFFICE BUILDING FOR A STAFF THAT
WORKED FOR THE OTHER MEMBER OF
CONGRESS.
THEN THEY WERE ACTUALLY SEEN --
THEY WERE ACTUALLY SEEN BANGING
ON THE DOORS OF PEOPLE LIKE
KEVIN McCARTHY’S OFFICE.
JIM JORDAN’S OFFICE.
WHAT WERE THEY DOING?
WHY WERE THEY THERE?
AND FRANKLY, I’M INTERESTED IN
ASKING THE CAPITOL POLICE WHAT
DID THEY DO TO MAKE SURE THEY
GOT ARRESTED AND WHAT’S GOING TO
BE THE FINAL ADJUDICATION?
THAT’S AN IMPORTANT QUESTION WE
MIGHT HAVE TO HEARINGS CBS
BREACH OF THE CAPITOL.
OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE WAY TOO
AGGRESSIVE BANGING ON DOORS,
INTIMIDATING PEOPLE.
I MEAN, WE DON’T CONDONE THAT
TYPE OF CONDUCT, DO WE,
CONGRESSMAN.
STEPHEN COLBERT, I GUESS HE SAYS
HE IS A COMEDIAN BUT THIS SOUNDS
LIKE MORE HIGH JINX AND LIKE HE
WAS MAYBE PLANNING SOMETHING.
WAS THIS MAYBE A CONSPIRACY?
>> WELL, WE WILL HAVE TO FIND
OUT.
BUT IT’S JUST SO IRONIC THAT THE
1/6 SELECT COMPLY WAS JUST A
POLITICAL CIRCUS.
THEY ARE IMPUGNING MY COLLEAGUE
MR. LOUDERMILK FOR TAKING PEOPLE
ON A TOUR OF THE HOUSE OFFICE
BUILDINGS WHO WERE THERE ON
JANUARY 5TH.
THEY WANTED TO SEE THEIR MEMBER
OF CONGRESS.
THEY ATE LUNCH OWE LONG WORTH
CALF FEAR I CAN’T AND WENT TO
THE GIFT SHOP.
THEY HAVE MADE IT SEEM SOMEHOW
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO INCLUDED
CHILDREN WERE PART OF THOSE WHO
BROKE THE LAW THE NEXT DAY.
THAT’S CLEARLY NOT THE CASE.
NO ONE WAS ARRESTED AND NO ONE
HAS BEEN ACCUSE OF DOING SO.
HOWEVER, IT’S IRONIC THAT
DEMOCRAT STAFFERS, NOT EVEN
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
DEMOCRATIC STAFFERS WHO WORK FOR
ADAM SCHIFF AND OTHERS, THEY ARE
THE ONES THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE IN
THAT ENDED UP GETTING ARRESTED BY CAPITOL POLICE.
BY CAPITOL POLICE.
THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING.
>> Jesse: DO YOU EXPECT ADAM
SCHIFF TO FESS UP TO THIS?
HE IS DISHONEST ACTOR.
HE LIED THROUGHOUT THE RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION AND WE KNOW WHAT
HE LIED ABOUT DURING THE UKRAINE
IMPEACHMENT SITUATION. I DON’T SEE HIM TAKING ANY
I DON’T SEE HIM TAKING ANY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DO YOU?
>> MY COLLEAGUE MR. SCHIFF
HASN’T TAKEN ANY RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE RUSSIA HOAX AND HE
SHOULD.
HE REPEATED LIE AFTER LIE AFTER
LIE THAT COST TAXPAYERS HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THAT’S WHY ARRESTS LIKE THIS
NEED TO BE PUBLIC OF PUBLICIZED
AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE DECISIONS
SO WE START TO SEE THERE IS NOT
TWO TIERS OF JUSTICE.
JUSTICE DOESN’T HAVE A RED SHIRT
OR BLUE SHIRT ON.
>> Jesse: ALL RIGHT.
COLBERT PRODUCERS BREACHED THE
CAPITOL, WERE ARRESTED.
AND ADAM SCHIFF WAS COMPLICIT
AND WHAT’S WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT
ON "JESSE WATTERS PRIMETIME" AT
7:00.
IT’S JUST IRONIC THIS IS
HAPPENING AS THE JANUARY 6TH
COMMITTEE IS HOLDING HEARINGS
AND ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE WATERGATE BREAK-IN.
RICH WITH IRONY.
CONGRESSMAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US AND HOPEFULLY WE
CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
AGAIN, I WANT TO SEE THE MUG
SHOTS.
TALK TO THE CAPITOL POLICE.
DON’T BE HIDING THE MUG SHOTS
LIKE THEY DID WITH OUR FRIEND
