and the humiliation that s come with that here in front of the whole nation. tonight we begin with how we got here, because everyone s been absorbing the days of chaos, headlines about the failure of the republican majority to get its work start in the its new congress. a story that really goes beyond politics and it s reaching people who don t always follow the swearing in or the speaker s race. if you approach this with fresh eyes as many americans have, saying what s going on over there? you may wonder why the big chaotic fight continues with rolling losses for republicans. why is it happening at the finish line of a win for the gop in the midterms? and why is the big fight in washington within one party, not between one of the typically warring factions between parties? there are many factors but three reasons loom large. first a crop of republicans who are more focused on hijacking than running. second, this trump internet industrial complex that puts the content, the tr
had after their gun decision, after their voting decision, after their union decision. they just took the last of it and set a torch to it with the roe vs. wade opinion. but republicans are claiming a major victory and giving one man the credit. this is a huge victory for the pro-life movement. president trump deserves the lion s share of credit here. he fought like a tiger to put three constitutional conservative judges on the court. and outside the supreme court keeping an eye on the protests for us, what are you seeing today? reporter: jim, it is emotional and at times tense here down at the base of the supreme court. as you can see behind me there is a large crowd that has gathered and it s grown in size over the course of the day. i ll give you just a flavor from the streets as you see a lot of protesters in opposition. the majority of people out here today in opposition of that ruling that came down on friday against roe, but we have seen some tense moments wher
step back? is bakersfield, california, such a terrible thought in going back to private life? when you look at eric kanter and paul ryan and all the people who left office, doesn t look like such a terrible existence. but this is what he signed on for. i do wonder if he s holding out because he i wonder if he s the only thing that stands between republicans and the sort of planned scalise. because the big question here i don t think anyone has a grasp of is how seamless it would be how much support steve scalise would have and whether he would automatically inherit kevin mccarthy s support and then maybe you get somewhere. but that s not going the happen until mccarthy steps aside, so that s another thing we re waiting for also. i don t want to reach too far, libby, but they say pride cometh before the fall.
i will tell you they were angry from the standpoint of what happened in the election and because they re smart and they see and saw what happened. i believe that was a big part of what happened on january 6th. yesterday we talk to alex holder about this and he was mentioning how i mean, shocker, this just in trump showed no remorse when he was talking about everything that took place on january 6th. how critical do you think the footage might be? it s visceral because you can see it, real time. pride cometh before the fall. they wanted to document everything, even trying to overturn an election. the fact so many documentary crews were out there covering the proud boys and the president s family, ex-president s family, i think does hammer home state of mind. and it s just a reminder, too,
right, the democrat won in gerrymandering battles, you have some of these senate races, where some of the candidates are not the best of the best. some of rinos and mcconnell try to influence the outcome of the election, a bad idea, in is that. and as you also point out. we still have not fixed this election system, there is still enormous opportunity for the democrat party to violate the constitution, where the states tried to rein some voting systems, you are right, people say there will be a great red wave. um, excuse me. we have to vote, that is your point. is there any more we could say about voting that would encourage people who believe this it country to vote? pride cometh before the
