i m poppy harlow. and i m jim sciutto. tonight the january 6th committee will begin to lay out its evidence. after 11 months of interviewing witnesses, scrutinizing thousands of hours of video, more than 100,000 pages of documents, the panel will hold its first public hearing, this one in prime time. it will make a case, that the former president was at the center of a coordinated multistep effort to overturn joe biden s 2020 election win. the committee will present, it says, never-before-seen material. and chips of taped interviews with family officials, and witnesses who had an up-close view of the rioters in action. many leaders like kevin mccarthy, have been all over the air waves, trying to downplay and denigrate the committee s work. leaked audio from just five days after the insurrection, coming from mccarthy himself, reveals that he really wanted a bipartisan investigation into the attack. listen to part of that. we can t just sweep this under the rug. we need t
look after each other, the animals, and the global poor for me. all my love, tommy. so, he didn t have anything in there. for i gotta take some time off. and [noise] why is america such an extraordinary country? we are not unified by virtue of being one ethnicity. or one ideology, or one religion. we are unified by one constitution, and one rule of law, and the values under our constitution. it is an aspiration. it s a challenge to us. the constitution shouldn t be some kind of fetish documentary. this should be the living commitment that we all have, to make democracy work in service of the common good. that is the constitution that comes out of the civil war in reconstruction. that is the constitution that we ve been fighting for since then. and we gotta keep fighting for it. [applause] please raise your right hand, and repeat after me. i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear to preserve, protect and defend t
friends. i know everybody has been hearing from loved ones. just shock. i got a note this morning from a friend in mississippi. his pastor wrote the congregation yesterday and said, as i write these words, the sun is rising on may 25th, 2022. another day of mourning in america after another mass shooting at another elementary school. as we pray yet again for those whose lives have been torn us under by a troubled soul wielding a deadly weapon, it seems important and necessary to me to say as a christian pastor that we try to find reasonable ways to reduce gun violence, and that is not political. it is moral. the church needs to have a moral compass which can tell the difference between that which is politically partisan and that which is moral. otherwise, our fear of being political may, at times, make us fall silent concerning matters which we should not be silent. as martin luther king jr. once widely said, the day we fall silent about the things that matter is the day our
Another one. Is that a third home . Timeshare . Do we need to know about it . A timeshare, a third right wing flag . We will see. Checked the basements, check the attics. Thank you, my friend. This is an image from just outside the capital on january 6th. You can see a lot of trump 2020 flags, but these in the white flag there, on the left of your screen with the image of a pine tree on it. Do you see it . If you look closely, it says Appeal To Heaven on the top. Here is an image of another one of those flags being flown on january 6th, and here is another one. Multiple rioters waived that Appeal To Heaven flag as they descended on the capital that day. The flag itself dates back to the american revolution, but like the dentist and flag, also known as the dont tread on me flag, its Revolutionary War History has been reviewed by its contemporary significance.

When terrorists dont pay a price for their terror, when dictators dont pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death. Chaos andh and he calls on congress to fund both wars. We cant let petty, partisan, angry politics get in the way of the responsibilities of a great nation. Now the urgent effort to free more hostages as two americans are released as both conflicts rage on. Will the u. S. Be able to build support for staying in the fight . Ill ask Secretary Of State Antony Blinken and former Vice President mike pence. Plus, house in chaos. A speaker has not been elected. We need to come together and figure out who our speakers going to be. The House Of Representatives remains leaderless as the republican fight over who will become the next speaker drags on. The crazy eights who have led the race. The amount of damage they have done to this party and to this country is insurmountable. Is there a solution to this dysfunction . Will anyone be able to get the gavel . Ill
