attack on president biden. >> and the democratic party accusing them of rigging the election. the house committee investigating the insurrection plans to spend the coming months telling the american people exactly what happened last january 6th with a series of public hearings tonight. we take a look back at that tragic day and our nation's capitol a day that led to 5 deaths and more than 130 officers being inaured. what was meant to be a day that celebrated democracy as congress was meeting to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election violence and heavily armed mob. the former president trump supporters stormed the u.s. capitol. we've been reflecting all day here at trump for on that tragic day. and joining us out for more on all of this, professor david mcewan with sonoma state university, a professor, thanks for joining us tonight. it's been a year now. the divisions are as profound as ever. if not worse. i'm just wondering where you think we stand as we move one year later from what happened on january 6th. well, thank you for having me. and that's a pleasure to be here on on what really is a somber day. look. >> the effects of january 6 to 2021. are going to reverberate in this country for some time. just like december 7th, just like september 9th of 9/11/2000, one, it's going to take a little while to understand and fully realized and for the country to come out of this. that means that the events of a year ago have profound effect on the 2022 midterm election, an election that democrats are likely to lose in both the house and the senate that revisits trumpism. that's a huge component of the 2024 presidential election. and all that it's take it all that's at stake in all of this can really is the veracity in-depth, the breath, the promise of america and where democracy stands. that is a tremendous indictment on trump and trumpism and what's happened over the last year. and republicans have to figure out a way forward. but so did democrats too. >> well, most of the republican party is remaining silent on what happened and many of the moderates are leaving the party and certainly leaving congress. so that doesn't portend well for what we can exrect to come from the republican party at this point with the elections coming up for the midterms. what do you think is going to make a change? >> look, i mean, 1, one argument that does seem to some element to our tests, the partisanship and that is the republicans make the argument that the january 6 committee has been politicized and there's some element to component to this. that seems to be evident in public opinion. however, the move to addressing violence and the permissiveness of violence to move against the government is absolutely not acceptable to the president today. democrats more broadly have come out and talk about this particularly east by congressman eric swalwell amongst others as well as congressman ted lieu. also from california. nonetheless, democrats are going to have to try to find one to 3 republicans be on someone like adam kinzinger be on someone like cheney to really address and get it publicly behind what is going on. and all of this is resulting out of a fear of trumpism and his role in the primary season. and there's some things that democrats can do to help move this along, that they can update some of the election electoral count act. they can update some elements that are going on at the state level because of road republicans are doing is moving down into the state level and that allows them to control electoral outcomes in places like arizona, georgia, when we have no evidence of fraud in those places, proud of the november 2020 election. >> he talked having people understand the truth of what happened. we're going to have a public hearing. so the congressional committee is going to have televised primetime hearings here in the next few months as they interviewed witnesses who were involved in all of this. and we're understanding that many of these witnesses are republicans who have turned against president trump and who are very involved or know who was involved first-hand information about the planning for the the attack and everything behind it. could that start to sway perhaps some republican mainstream voters who might say, wait a minute, i didn't know that happened because the the host from a fox news who had his text messages just come out now we're seeing that the mouthpiece where they're getting a lot of the information was also involved in all of this. >> yeah, can i think what you're going to see? a couple of things, mike pence, the staff, the vice president's staff, has already been involved here second and 3rd tier white house personnel have been involved who were present on january 6th in the white house and knew what was going on. they've already given testimony as those things start to become public as we start to see the metastasizing, a radical isn't the metastasizing of extremism that precluded and led up to january 6 and has continued after january 6. that will be important. educate of moment. look, the more we learn about how the sausage is made in congress, the more we learn about how things are made in terms of extremism using social media and using some of the tools that we know war used before the 6 and after the 6, the more we learn about that that has both a turnoff affect the voters. but it also has an educated. the fact it does provide some of the light meant to the degree to which things are happening that are hugely important that affect the quality of democracy. that's why today is the somber day of somber doubt. but it is also a day that provides some hope moving forward. democrats, though, are going to have to get off the sidelines in some ways get republicans on board because it's events unfold. he's moving forward after november of 2022. things are going to much rougher head into that presidential election of 2024. with trump in the background. so professor, we running out of time, but i want to ask you're talking about educating the citizenry in the united states. >> but of course, as you the media, there's competing media, you know, both broadcast and social media and a lot of people are only listening to the media that they believe. how are you able to educate and inform and bring out this information that you're talking about went in to the other side, whatever that is when you're not, you're only listening to the same source. repeat views. you already hold. right. so we look at things like the proud boys and the oath keepers who have argued that their movements have to have taken a hit after january 6th that experience the loss of revenue loss and support these types of things. one thing that has up brought a bit of sunlight into what is going on into the dark crevices of those groups is the release of e-mail lists, those that have subscribed, though, some that have turned over their account information that type of of of good reporting that type of solid work by the media. that type of solid work by the january 6 committee in congress will be very helpful and kind of spreading light into what's going on so that people can understand this isn't just some cobol that showed up of loosely affiliated groups that this was much more of a threat to the united states government, a physical threat to the speaker of the house, a physical threat to the vice president of the united states. something we see overseas. this was not something we see in the united states that moment is likely to repeat itself. if we don't give enough sunset some light and enough education to what is going on. here is a key moment for as a professor for you in the media and for our citizens to really pay attention. so that another somber day, another day of infamy like this doesn't repeat itself in our professor david mcewan. >> political chair sonoma state university professor, thank you again. thank you very much. >> thank you very much for him. in the last year, more than 725 people have been arrested for storming the capitol building. charges range from
