soon as we get that adds up we re gonna go to. it mike, i will start to the control room for second. we think the president is coming out now. all right. got it, as soon as he comes out it to. we do in a move on to the general six hearings. this hour we re taking an in-depth look at this weeks generous committee hearing. potentially the final one. members made it clear in this hearing, in case it wasn t, before this all boils down to one individual. the central cause of january 6th was one man. donald trump. who many others followed. that none of this would ve happened without him. he was personally substantially vault in all of it they laid out in meticulous detail a plan
so to be clear according to jared kushner and cassidy hutchinson, sworn testimony, it was concerns about the president s cabinet finally after years of talking about it, doing something and invoking the 25th amendment to officially publicly, finally declare him unfit for office. that was what was behind the remarks. in case it wasn t clear that the white house realized by the evening of january 6th in failing to call off the mob, he galvanized, but what might be more materiel to investigators is this, trump s edits to the january 7th speed itself, watch. do you recognize what this is? it looks like a copy of a draft of the remarks for that day. okay. and as you can see from the document there are lines crossed out. there are some words added in.
stuff, and why wasn t it preserved? and who directed this operation of getting rid of these texts, and why did they do it? and can this be recovered now, because i think as most people know, just because you hit delete on an email or delete a text doesn t mean it s gone forever. it sometimes can be recovered. and that is an operation that i expect the january 6th committee and possibly the fbi will want to be doing because these texts are very important. this is perhaps some of the most important documentary records of what donald trump was doing on january 5th and 6th because the secret service agents obviously were with him all that time. there s got to be relevant information in those texts. and the idea that one text exchange out of 24 people over two critical days, it s just preposterous that that s all that remains.
defenses at his table. they re going to essentially argue they thought the subpoena was still up for negotiation, including the date of this subpoena. of course, when bannon exited the court, he had a lot more to say about the house select committee. take a listen. bennie thompson sent a staffer over here. where is bennie thompson? we subpoenaed thompson, and they re hiding behind these phony privileges. he is too gutless to come over here himself. he s made it a crime. made it a crime, not a civil charge of wanting my testimony, but a crime. and he didn t have the courage or the guts to show up here, and he sent a staffer. so in case it wasn t clear from that, steve bannon really wanted bennie thompson to testify at his trial. the judge shut that down when bannon tried to subpoena him. he left the door open of possibly revisiting that depending on where the prosecution s case goes, but it s a very slim chance we re going to see bennie thompson testifying, especially since he
reign of terror came to an end this week after a string of decisions that will leave this country battered and bruised for years to come, but this far-right supermajority we ll be back next session. and the session after that. and the session after that. as long as this lopsided court rules unchecked by the other branches of government, it will continue to tear down rights and privileges rather than build them up, and it will do so with impunity. the sting of the end of roe v. wade should be enough to make you fight for democracy, but in case it wasn t, clarence thomas is a threat to we consider the right to birth control, same-sex relationships, and marriages should seal the deal. there is no land of the free, when freedoms are extinguished. extinguished all, right good morning
