with a hammer. he was a 42-year-old man, nbc news is reporting, according to sources, depeppi was in fact looking for the speaker herself, shouting where is francy, where is nancy. it is the same chant that some rioters on january 6th said when they broke into the capitol. pelosi s husband paul was in the hospital. her office says he should make a full recovery. but will our politics? joining me now from outside the pelosi home in san francisco is nbc s jacob ward, we also have nbc s ben colins who is with me on the set. he s going through the social media profile. we have nbc s ryan nobles, as well, at the capitol and former secret service special agent charles marino, he is here with all of the analysis and the context, he served under lee presidents to assure individual and family safety. joining me now is nbc news investigations correspondent tom winter as well. we will have him in a moment. i m sorry. let s go to you at the scene of where this happened. we heard from off
