up next. tonight on the reidout nancy, nancy! where are you, nancy? we re looking for you. nancy. oh, nancy. nancy. where are you, nancy? the chilling sounds of january 6th. where is nancy? happening again. not in the people s house this time. but in speaker pelosi s own house. her husband paul brutally beaten with a hammer by a maniac with a reported history of posting extreme right-wing memes and conspiracy theories on social media. meanwhile, elon musk is getting ready to reinject those dark online forces back into the veins of twitter, which he now completely controls. and we begin tonight with a shocking development in the political extremism that has loomed over the midterms. early this morning an assailabout attacked paul pelosi, the husband of nancy pelosi, at the couple s home in california. mr. pelosi who was home alone was hit in the head with a hammer multiple times. the assail want was reported to have shouted where is nancy, where is nancy, during the
