no jinx. i mean, who s watching? yesterday when we are out trick-or-treating, it was rained out practically. so, it s good that it happened tonight. i m just astonished. i ve never compared to a sports figure, ever. that s big. oh yeah, that s pretty big. that s pretty cool. fantastic, awesome. make with the crackerjack and a pretzel, okay, alisyn? that s why go to the games. that s right. have a good show. thanks jake. good evening everyone, i m laura coates in washington. and i m alisyn camerota in new york. this is it cnn tonight. one week from tonight, they will be counting ballots from states across the country. which is why the heavyweights, from president biden and vice president harris and former president obama and trump, and vice president mike pence will all be out on the campaign trail this week. and who will make the biggest difference? plus, there are new shocking details tonight about just what happened when the alleged attacker broke into
tonight from the january six committee. liz cheney says there in discussion with the former president about is and his legal team, about maybe getting him to testify under oath. congressman laying out what the committee will be looking for. he s done, potentially over multiple days, significant questions based on the evidence we ve developed. and as i said, what we know already about the extent to which he was personally and directly involved in every aspect of this effort. will he or won t he? joining me now, political analyst from cnn margaret talib, commentator paul pegula, and legal analysis elliott williams. we could do the vegas odds here for a second, right? the idea of him testifying under oath, people will say, of course he won t. but i wonder, will he try to grant the stand? will he try to have the opportunity if it were live? what do you think? when you say the word
he finish was an old school liberal who believed in the first amendment. today s, left i don t know how you work with them when today s left says if you don t agree with me we re going to call you races, and we re gonna try and cancel you. so, how do you work with people like that? margaret, i think you chuckled a little bit the ideal of a bipartisan shift comment from jim jordan, a congressman. but what you make of that sentiment? because there s a chance in congress that people have to work together, but the plan is it might be impossible? the two cases we are just talking about, republicans willing to cross party lines, a republican who lost her primary and is running on a mission to make sure trump never gets elected again. and a former republican, you know, leader in congress. so, i think, jim jordan i was laughing, because the idea that dennis kucinich is jim jordan s best friend is absurd. [laughs] by the way, i don t remember any jim jordan dennis consented goals bein
pelosi s home in the middle the night and attack her husband. and what else he said that he was planning. a newly released court document quotes the defendant telling officers and medics at the scene, i did not really want to hurt him, but this was a suicide mission, unquote. and going on to name others he planned to target, alisyn, including several prominent state and politicians and the relatives. we re also hearing at this late hour from the capitol police, who apparently first learned of the attack via a live camera feed from the home. more on that, coming up. we ve got a lot to talk about tonight, so alisyn is here with me in washington, d.c., before we turn over to new york. cnn political analyst margaret talib, political strategy paul gala and kevin madden, who was a top aide to mitt romney s presidential campaign. glad to have you all here. i want to take a step back for a second if we can. because we know when the heavy hitters come out, it s normally an issue of this is the
your best bet. but if there is no consequences here, then? what so, maybe there is a little bit of chest being played by the committee. here because number, one you put him under oath, testify than, lies that s perjury. if he does not agree to testify, okay, that s contempt of congress. and you can still prosecute him for that, to. so, either way, perhaps it could and in criminal charge for him. now, look, we all kind of know that contempt of congress, that s a missed a timer and a big deal. and, whatever. but at the end of day, he get charged. he could get charged if he does not show up and for and at times as the attorney general, which they force him to show up, which i don t think they will, they subpoena him, it will run out the clock for us. so, it s trump respiration, he cannot help himself. he inhales air, he exiles lies. and there s no way he s going to stop him. so, they should never allow, his lawyer should never allowed to testify. margaret, this is obviously not a
