good evening. you are going to see a number of extraordinary things over the course of this next hour. it is very rare that we see history happening in realtime. we ve all seen the images of what happened to outside the capitol on january 6th, of the capital being breached. people wandering around, destroying property. that was historic, but it is even rarer to see what was happening behind closed doors, where the people in power were making decisions. that is what you are about to see tonight. in this hour ahead, one of the most consequential moments in living memory, in a way you ve never seen it before. footage from january 6th, 2021, obtained exclusively by cnn as the attack on the capitol unfolded, showing how congressional leaders, speaker, nancy, pelosi and others were forced to flee the capital from their offices and moved to a secure location where they frantically coordinated with then vice president pence and trump cabinet members to quell the insurrection and fini
New u. S. Intel jligence and complex tunnel system under gaza. More lost and legal blows to come. Mark meadows has been granted immunity to testify in the federal subversion case. Meadows reported there was no evidence of fraud, telling prosecutors trump was dishonest. And theres more. Trumps former attorney is back on the stand soon. This is for the civil trial against him. Former president expected to be there again. Im kate baldwin with john be berman. This is cnn news central. This morning, is the fifth time a charm . Were seeing if mike johnson from louisiana will end up as speaker of the house in the next few hours. This could unfold before our eyes after a chaotic three weeks that saw Kevin Mccarthy booted from the speakers chair. Steve scalise get the no, maam nalgs and drop out before a full house vote. Jim jordan get the nomination but lose several house votes. Tom emmer, he got the nomination and lasted four hours. Its Mike Johnsons turn. He may be the last man standing. How
or down house of representatives, as we see thi unfold in the course of this it is amazing to me and, i m just from acros political standpoint - why would republicans continue to want to litigate donald trump and highlighted it is an amazing political. think they did not learn their lesson in 2020 they didn t learn their lesson in 2022. but they can t seem to let g of him they can t seem to let him go. yeah, i can t seem to let him go and we are going to talk about that later on in the show. and david corn, i started this problem by saying the one thin we are learning about alvi bragg that he s a fighter. he s not backing down from wha we are seeing these republican tactics. and i m wondering, is there big takeaway lesson here for the democrats? should they taken out from bragg s playbook fighting fire with fire? should they be more aggressive in the face of this republican interference well, what we see here is jim jordan, who chairs the
from the white house. the takeaway lesson could be, for a donald trump or the next person who attempts this that you just need to install the right person in the right seat will say yes. right, who want does not take the phone call or stumble upon the phone call will actively disregard. i think that is really significant thing to think about, because it means it doesn t matter this kind of overwhelming at the capitol police, et cetera. the next time around it could just be a cakewalk through the actual well that is actually the story of this whole saga. process. yeah. we learned just how important people of good will in these positions means to avoid a catastrophe and well that is actually the story preserving the
