the release of the twitter feed or he said similar things to other people about how, you know, engaging and contentious back and forth is. they the reality is he treats everyone like they were his psychiatrists. and he is it is his friends, pseudo friends, staff, white house aides, rally attendees. he is working it out in front of all of us in real time. and in the course of doing that over the last however many years, six years now, he reoriented the country around his moods and emotions in a way that i never would have imagine was possible. and you prove that in this book. you lay that out which issy want to ask that. that s the conclusion. i want to ask you about something that s been in the news the last few days. it s no the in the book. but it is. right? because of everything that you established. it s about his comments on mitch mcconnell and his wife which are just racist. put those into context based on what you ve seen from donald trump from when he was here in new york.
the reality is, he treats everyone like they were his psychiatrists, like it s his friends, pseudo-friends, staff, white house aides, rally attendees. he s working it out in front of all of us in realtime. and in the course of doing that over the last, however many years he sits here now, here we oriented the country about his moods and in a way i never imagined possible. you laid that out, which is why i want to ask that, because that s the conclusion of the whole book. it s really remarkable to get to that point. i want to ask about something that s been in the news the last few days. it s not in the book. but it is,? because of everything that you established, it s about his comment on mitch mcconnell and his wife, elaine chao, which is just racist. but those into context put those into construct based on what you see from donald trump when he was in new york. there is a couple of things of that comment. one, there is a racist comment about mitch mcconnell s wife.
the president to potentially march to the or accompany the rally attendees to the capitol. okay. all the people who may have known it, he didn t make those plans public, which might just have given law enforcement a chance to prepare that this was going to happen and in the numbers that it did. we ll talk to one of the officers who was attacked at the capitol in just a moment. but he knew before january 6 that a large crowd would march to the capitol on what? on the day they were supposed to certify the college results. i mean, look at this draft tweet. the committee has obtained this draft, updated undated tweet from the national archives. it includes a stamp stating, president has seen.
dials people. and what happened on january 6th, the committee says that was also no coincidence. i mean you don t think that people just happen to have the materials to build gallows outside the capitol at the spur of a moment, right? or that everyone happened to come prepared to march to the capital on the same day, at the same time? that s because the march of the capital was the plan all along. and if the testimony is right, fringe right-wing leaders knew it, people in the white house knew it, twitter employees may have known it, donald trump knew it. in fact he repeatedly pushed the even joined the march. i was aware of the desire of the president to potentially march, for a company the rally attendees through the capitol. okay, of all the people that
of people. this happens every day. every day we get new people that come forward and say, i didn t think maybe this piece of a story that i knew was important but now that you guys i do see this plays in here. sd will we hear in witnesses that you did not know about? stories you did not hear because of the hearing so far? yes. there is way more information and stay tuned. he said another important thing in that interview with dana bash. he said no one has come forward to the legally significant parts of what cassidy hutchinson said under oath about donald trump wanted to go to the capitol on january 6th and knowing some of his rally attendees were armed. all right. thank you. joining me now to discuss is cnn legal analyst norm eisen.
