up next. tonight on the reidout nancy, nancy! where are you, nancy? we re looking for you. nancy. oh, nancy. nancy. where are you, nancy? the chilling sounds of january 6th. where is nancy? happening again. not in the people s house this time. but in speaker pelosi s own house. her husband paul brutally beaten with a hammer by a maniac with a reported history of posting extreme right-wing memes and conspiracy theories on social media. meanwhile, elon musk is getting ready to reinject those dark online forces back into the veins of twitter, which he now completely controls. and we begin tonight with a shocking development in the political extremism that has loomed over the midterms. early this morning an assailabout attacked paul pelosi, the husband of nancy pelosi, at the couple s home in california. mr. pelosi who was home alone was hit in the head with a hammer multiple times. the assail want was reported to have shouted where is nancy, where is nancy, during the
and republicans have actually voted against capitol police funding as we tried to expand it, and the senate hasn t given us a vote on that yet either because they need ten more republican senators who won t come around. so if kevin mccarthy is the leader, yes, not only does the january 6th commission go away, and they re looking at political violence, not only would i fear that the protective details for members who are most at risk would go away. i also just fear that the fish rots from the head down, and if kevin mccarthy is condoning these attacks, you re going to have an emboldened body in the new republican conference that thinks they can continue to glorify violence as a means to carry out a political will. and that s why it s all on the line. not just personal freedoms for women, paycheck freedom, social security. it s are we a country where we carry out the voter s will at the ballot box or do we do it with a bayonet. it s thugocracy.
almost over here as well. but that group, i think, is kind of almost insulated from some of the divisive issues on capitol hill because we have been working on it for a really long time and all three have been saying they ve been having good conversations. that s not what you hear during negotiations. one thing i will say and it s important for people to note about this capitol police funding bill is that the negotiators said something that really helped, that they were really quiet. they ve had houses close to the senate, that there wasn t a lot of like floor time. that s one of the reasons some folks voted against it. but that speed at which they went and the quietness at which they worked didn t allow for a lot of chest beating, all of that kind of stuff. so that s something, i think, congressmen and women and senators should keep in mind if they want to get their bills passed, the quietness of which
want us to believe, that this is the glimmering hope and ideas of a newbie partisanship in washington, d.c. i have a hard time believing that. i m getting a little more cynical. only because these glimmers pop up and then they go back, right? this bill about capitol police funding, the afghan interpreters, was kind of it had to happen, right? the funding was supposed to be for capitol police, and there was going to be furloughs, according to reports some of that s one thing. and the other thing is you have these other divisive areas that they re not working on very well, voting rights, for example. that s one area, like you said, we re not likely to see anything. and the police reform bill has been kind of slow going, right? the june or bust date put out by south carolina for the republicans who s leading the effort. and then he said in july, it s
the both of you. appreciate it. i want to talk more about it with the chair of the january 6th select committee, democratic congressman bennie thompson. congressman thompson, good morning, thank you for being with us this morning. thank you for having me, hallie. i want to ask questions about the select committee but first your reaction to this reporting the worst case scenario capitol police could end up furloughing potentially hundreds of people if it doesn t get more funding basically asap. does that concern you as it relates to you and your colleagues safety, the people who protect and the other members in that building. well, absolutely. as you know, the house, we ve already done our work toward making sure that the continuity of the capitol police funding is there. i hope the senate moves forward expeditiously and their job so i see it as a potential problem, but i m hoping in the end, the senate will under stand that there s no way we can carry
