going to do now? we may get some early answers when the white house briefing starts just a few minutes from now. and we have some brand-new information about the two americans who survived. plus, one republican lawmaker calling bs on tucker carlson s narrative that january 6th was a peaceful protest. another republican calling it flat out a lie. the capitol police are going further, insisting it invites the prospect of more antigovernment violence. and president biden s big pitch for 2024 that he s the only one who can save medicare. how it fits with his larger message to voters and contrasts with maga republicans he says are intent on making things worse. but, we begin with that breaking news. two of the four americans kidnapped in mexico just a few days ago have been murdered. two others are alive and we just learned minutes ago that they are now back across the border to the u.s. one of them, though, injured. a state department briefing is scheduled next hour with ke
not produce any evidence of election fraud, something they were not ashamed to admit. at some point did one of them make a comment that they didn t have evidence, but they had a lot of theories? that was mr. giuliani. and what exactly did he say and how did that come up? my recollection he said we ve got lots of theories, we just don t have the evidence. the pressure campaign against state officials was relentless and it was dangerous. it included ugly threats and intimidation by trump supporters and the former president himself leaving one georgia election worker too scared to say her own name in public. a steep price for those who defended democracy and did their job. why didn t you just quit and walk away? because i knew that we had followed the law, we had followed the constitution and i think sometimes moments require you to stand up and just take the shots, you re doing your job, and that s all we did. i do not want to be a winner by cheating. were a l

have lined up at the visitors center and came in on an orderly basis. reporter: and the reaction from capitol police and rank and file here themselves, we have seen on twitter in recent days and hours, officers who were injured on january 6th showing what happened to them after that day. and then, of course, a letter from tom manger, the head of the capitol police, to his officers, at one point saying the program last night conveniently cherry picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video. he goes on to say the commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments. tv commentary will not record the truth for the history books. truth and justice are on our side. hundreds of cases are still working their way through the department of justice, but certainly the agreement that we had heard about and what i knew was happening during the january 6th hearings was that when this kind of security footage was
