going down. one of the reporters who broke that story joins me live, and it was a rough day for a couple of other trump royal figures. trying to stay out of court. why is the senator of south carolina calling the secretary of georgia anyway? all in starts right now. good evening from new york, i m chris hayes. we finally got to hear from donald trump s white house counsel, pat cipollone. on friday, you might remember, he spoke to the january 6th committee behind closed doors for hours. and then at yesterday s hearing, the committee revealed several clips of his videotaped interviews. we are going to play some of that shortly. cipollone s testimony, as far as we can tell, conformed with the broader picture that we have now gathered for many witnesses. donald trump was dead set on staying in office, against the will of the american people, by any means necessary. cipollone was among those in trump s orbit that resisted those efforts in the final days of trump s term in offi
they both have a breaking news story to deal with, which you just delivered. everything i know about it is when i just heard you say about it on tv. just give us the short recap of it again, the donald trump apparently reached out to a support staff are at the white house. we don t know the norm of they sport they ve been described is a support staff. or it appears that it is not something that he would ve had a normal relationship with. this person did happen to be in touch with the january 6th committee separately, and so that feels to some people, and again we ll have that conversation later, it feels to some people like potential witness tampering it is been handed over to the justice department to handle it. we will get professional reaction to it in this hour. thank you very much. i did something today that i did not want to do. i knew i had to do it. i watched all of the video released yesterday showing with the police were doing in the hallway of robb elementa
again we ll have that conversation later, it feels to some people like potential witness tampering it is been handed over to the justice department to handle it. we will get professional reaction to it in this hour. thank you very much. i did something today that i did not want to do. but i knew i had to do it. i watched all of the video released yesterday showing with the police were doing in the hallway of robb elementary school, after a mass murderer fired his mass murder weapon in two classrooms. i would not have gotten through that video, i would not have gotten through the first few minutes of that video, if there had not been a very important sound edit in that video. that made it possible to watch it and listen to it. i ll explain that later, as i describe the video. the video does not show any children or teachers at all except for one child, very briefly, one child. he steps into the other end of the hallway, far away from the shooter. and when the child sees the

through a period of high inflation like this one. it s painful. paychecks are not going as far. if you adjust wages for inflation, they re getting smaller. the president is right to call out the fact that this report does not capture the fact that gasoline prices have started to cool off. the national average is 4.63 a gallon. down 40 cents from the record high. two things to remember here, one, it s not like prices at the pump are cheap. no one is doing a victory dance about $4.60 gas, and ftho, this is not just about prices at the pump. it s about food. housing prices. there were record price spikes last month from beer, to cleaning products, men s suits as well. this is an economy wide problem, and unfortunately it s getting worse. how come you didn t mention me for hair cucuts. yeah, why not? no reason. there was no reason. okay. does this raise the risk. it does. the federal reserve is going to be under more pressure to step up the war on inflation. step in l
