some people will tell you, kids, they say the darnedest things. others will simply say, out of mouths of the babes, if you re my grandmother. but say we heard the truth from the mouth of a child who should be asking to ride her bicycle with that voice, not having to testify before the house representatives about how she was forced to try and save her own life and did. her quick thinking should be commended. but the fact that she had to even do it should be condemned. nearly three weeks since a child was forced to confront pure evil, we re getting a glimpse of the horror she witnessed from inside that courtroom inside that classroom. shot my teacher and told my teacher, shot her in the head. and then he shot some of my classmates and the white board. when i went to the backpacks, he shot my friend that was next to me. and i thought he was going to come back to the room so, i grabbed the blood and i put it all over me. if that had been fiction, parents would not let a chi
thank you, laura, see you friday. this is don lemon tonight, on the eve of the first public hearing by the committee investigating what happened on one of the darkest days of our history, we have audio of what the republicans were saying after, comes from their book this will not pass, going to talk to them on this program, don t want to miss this. but hear kevin mccarthy describing what happened when he was evacuated from office and how he called the president so tell him to call off the rioters. i made a phone call to the president telling him what was going on, asking him to tell these people to stop. to make a video and go out. and i was very intense and loud about it. he did put a tweet out, later he did put a video out. i told him i didn t like the video but wished that video was first. what they said then, what they re saying now. and then goes on, kevin mccarthy calls for bipartisan commission to investigate the circumstances around the attack and to insist, i
responded in realtime to what was going on and what else he might have done to try to bring an end to the violence sooner. jonathan, here we are, less than 24 hours until the january 6th committee unveils their findings. your newly released audio shows what they thought about january 6th and a committee to investigate that days after it. there s going to be dark days and then gets really dark. one thing i should tell you, take the moment to change course, improve, and more importantly be united against what the democrats are going to do in the future. can t sweep it under the rug, have to know why it happened, who did it and people are held accountable for it. i m committed to make sure that happens. went on to say he wanted bipartisan investigation.
true believers think it s stolen, making case for it, and then others who believe it s inappropriate and periodically voices speak up. debbie lesko is interesting one, she s quite a conservative. folks saying we re leading people on, letting people develop a set of expectations about what we can do on january 6th that s not rooted in reality. it s seldom you hear it articulated like in that clip, draws a straight line between the bogus expectations to stop joe biden from becoming president and risk of actual physical danger to members of congress. and boy was she right. folks storming the capitol have paid consequences, now we ll see if lawmakers do as well because of this.
of which have been released to the public or leaked out via cnn and other outlets, and those really i think are crucial evidence. they show that mark meadows was in words of one of our sources a matador for donald trump, waving the red flag of the rigged election at him, facilitating entrance of what another colleague called the crazies, letting the crazies into the oval office. one of the conclusions i came to after doing this reporting is it s possible january 6th would not have happened had a different and more responsible white house chief of staff been in place. susan glasser, thank you very much, i appreciate it. great reporting. next, 11-year-old testifying to congress, telling them how she had to smear blood on herself to survive the uvalde school shooting. i could have lost my baby girl.
