new tonight on cnn, missile launches off the korean peninsula, this time by american and south korean forces of the eight missiles in total, a direct response to the same number of missiles launched by north korea this weekend. we want to be clear on this. the missiles were launched into the sea, but let s get more from cnn correspondent barbara starr. barbara, this is a clear message to north korea from the other side of the dmz. is this when the new south korean president means when they will get tougher on north korea. reporter: what you just said about the u.s. and south korean missiles going into the sea is really an important point because it just shows that it was a response. there was no consent of a military action here. it was a response to the north koreans launching eight are ballistic missiles earlier in the weekend. that was one of the big concerns right now is that north korea is continuing at a very fast pace of test launches in its ballistic missile program
because the world saw the attack on the capitol on january 6th and they saw the mob screaming hang mike pence. they saw the erection of gallo outside the capitol. they saw the the mob storm the capitol and they saw capitol police injured. i think the world is very interested in what s happening to them to american democracy. that makes a very convincing case that the president of the united states conspired to steal an election, conspired to stop the peaceful transfer of power after he lost the election and i can think of nothing more damaging to american democracy. it even is worse than watergate. nadler says he believes that some americans will watch thursday s hearings and be convinced that the threat to democracy was very real and he says those who need their eyes open probably won t be watching, so let talk more the january 6th hearings ahead with three men who have a very unique insight.

we watched as he and his enablers gathered trump s most fervent supporters in d.c. and whipped them into a frenzy with hours of incendiary speeches. and we witnessed that mob storm the capitol, outfitted for battle, not peaceful protest. the aim was to overturn an election based on the notion some voters are more legitimate than others, and votes from urban areas where black and brown people tend to cast their ballots are inherently corrupt and should be subjected to additional scrutiny when the outcome doesn t go their way. the capitol is secure now, but this element of insurrection continues. it s present in the wildly unprofessional election audit in arizona that republicans now want to replicate nationwide. texas state representative steve
