elie, how important is this lengthy new video as investigators are trying piece together exactly what happened on january 6th? boris, i really hope that we all don t get numb to all of this because we ve seen so much video coming out over in particular, the last six months and it s important to remember, we are coming up on the one-year anniversary of january 6th and already there s such a virulent strain of denialism and revisionism, people saying it wasn t violent. you know, what s the big deal essentially. every one of these pieces of footage should remind us how serious this was. just how dangerous this was. this wasn t a quick one-off squirmish. this video shows this was a prolonged battle in our capitol. we need to keep all of this. these are facts. this is truth. it s so important. no question. jennifer, as we re watching this clip, what stands out to you about this new video evidence? well, it s interesting because, of course, we knew there was violence. some of that we
about january 6th is that this thing that happened. and what they don t understand, at least to me, is that this isn t something that happened. it s something that continues to happen. it s happening. so january 6th wasn t a failed insurrection. it was an unfinished coup. that is going on to this day. that s why democracy is under threat. and the people who are most likely to gaslight you and say that democracy isn t under siege are the same ones most likely to benefit from its demise. yeah, it s a really good point. hunter, yesterday congressman betty thompson, chairman of the house select committee investigating january 6th indicated they wanted to speak to the vormer vice president mike pence. what is the probability that pence will comply, and, b, what could we learn from his testimony given the fact that he was on the capitol or in the capitol that day?
