lawsuit in what is arguably the most painful chapter in their lives, hats off. thanks, chris. and thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. one of the most watched cable news programs in all of the united states is rewriting the history of january 6th, defending the violent mob that attacked the capitol, and they re doing it with c the explicit aid and support of the highest ranked elected republican in the country. last night fox news host tucker carlson aired his first news report, footage carlson was given access to by speaker of the house kevin mccarthy. we re not going to show you all of tucker carlson s defense for january 6th rioters here, but this is a sample of what the fox newsat audience heard last nigh. very little of january 6th was organized or violent. it was neither an insurrection or deadly. they were peaceful or meek. these were not insurrectionists, they were sight seers. they re not destroying the capitol. they re there because they believe the
former january 6th committee member adam kinzinger here to wee in. a flight attendant attacked by an unruly passenger. federal investigators say this man tried to open the emergency exit door during a flight from los angeles to boston and then tried to stab a flight attendant in the neck with a broken metal spoon. other passengers tackled him to the ground and he was zip-tied until the plane landed. cnn s pete muntean with more on this. good morning to you. he told investigators he wanted to jump out of the plane? reporter: yeah, good morning, don. this is the second high-profile incident of an unruly passenger we have seen in as many weeks. department of justice now looking into this. you know, it s really interesting here is that the number of unruly passengers went down by half over last year, but this has to be one of the most dramatic we have seen recently. the flight crew became alerted to this when this passenger tried to open the emergency exit door and they got a
really could be russian soldiers that have some sympathy, maybe not for wagner, but some sympathy for some anti-putin sentiment. how does the u.s. respond, what should the white house reaction be? probably not too much right now. i think working with ukraine to understand the intelligence of this, how you can take advantage of it on the battlefield, which they ve been doing very well so far. you know, we don t want to necessarily get involved in a civil war or civil conflict in russia. but let me say this, too. this is an important moment for us now to remind those that have been parroting putin s lies, whether it s turker carlson or people in the senate and house, they re been parroting the lies that this was a war brought on by nato, that ukraine deserved it, because prigozhin himself again, the head of basically a terrorist organization said to the russian people tonight that russia has been lying to them about the cause of the war,
senators mike brown and josh hawley praised tucker carlson to getting the release out. just your reaction to the video on fox news do you think tucker carlson handled it appropriately? i think he i did. i actually watched half of that and i think whenever you re pushing transparency that isen hard argument to be against. i think it s great what he s doing. i think the january 6th committee has deliberately tried to create the impression that most folks who came here were terrorists and that s just wrong. i think a lot of the footage disproves that. speaker kevin mccarthy, a man who was fearful for his own life on january 6th, is the reason turker carlson has been given license to try to convince the public that january 6th was a chaotic sightseeing explosion. presumably he remembers it
other as equals and there is no communication in this world except among equals and the kind of hierarchies that turker carlson and ron desantis are trying to superimpose over us are extraordinarily dangerous to this experiment. you call it a narrowing. we have to run. it s racism, right? i think it s right now it s just white supremacy. there is a kind of fear of the other and so what you are seeing, we saw it in our film on the holocaust, you know, it s easy to make a person other. let me just put it simply, don, this way, i have been making films for almost 50 years about the u.s., capital u, capital s, but i ve also been making films about us, the plural pronoun. anytime anybody tells you that it s anything else other than us there s only us. when somebody tells you there is a them, move away. there is no them, there s only us. ken burns, always a pleasure. thank you very much. we will be right back.
