good evening once again i m stephanie ruhle. today, as its seventh hearing on the january 6th committee laid out its case, that donald trump summoned its mob to the capitol? with the now ominous december 19th, 2020 tweet promising that that they would be wild. this tweet served as a call to action and as some cases as a call to arms, for many of donald president trump s most loyal supporters. donald trump s 1:42 am tweet electrified and galvanized supporters especially the dangerous extremists and the oath keepers, proud keepers and other white nationalist groups. there were many revelations about the days that led up to january 6th after joe biden had officially been declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, we learned that trump was considering announcing a march ahead of his january 6th rally. the committee has obtained this draft, an dated tweet from the national archives. and includes a stamp saying president has seen. the draft tweet reads, i will b
begin this sunday with some breaking news overseas. israeli minister benny gantz has resigned leaving the israeli war cabinet without a singling centrist. he accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu of standing in the way of real victory and called for new election in israel this fall. last month, gantz publicly demanded that netanyahu lay out a plan for gaza s future after the war or else he and the opposition party would pull out of the coalition. yet that hue hasn t yet announce a plan after the war against hamas ends. this is the most significant act of protest within the israeli government since october 7th when the leaders of all the top political parties united to form an emergency government to prosecute the war in gaza. now without gantz a man many western and arab leaders considered a pragmatic and centrist influence, the question now becomes who will steer this ship? already one of israel s most reactionary figures is demanding a seat at the table. the minister of
the fact? not after the fact. look, every part politician has loyalists. every politician has accolytes. but trump takes it up to about 100 new levels. but look, the point of the book here, is that donald trump did not have to happen. i mean, donald trump is the geriatric, fox watching golfer in florida, like a lot of people fit that category, without the backing of the republican party. is brilliantly shameless. absolutely, it s a superpower. you know, he can t be embarrassed, he can t be shamed. it s a gift. it is. and i m also told, at the end of 2015, i was doing a profile of the new york times magazine, and he said, mark, i m gonna win because all these people onstage with me, they are weak. and i know how to find weakness in people and exploit it. and i don t know if you use the word exploit, or take advantage of it, but this is his exact words. in this particular case, he was 100% right. i mean, they just rolled over,
