embracing its worst impulses? when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. i m chris hayes. today, the general six committee released brand-new video, showing just how reluctant donald trump was to condemn the violent insurrection incited. now, remember of course it took trump hours to publicly denounced the violence, and tell them up to go home. three plus hours when he finally did so, he released this truly deranged video message from the rose garden. i know your pain. i know your hurt. we had an election that was stolen from us. it was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. but you have to go home now. we have to have peace. we have to have law and order. we have to respect our great people and law and order. we don t want anybody hurt. it s a very tough period of time. it s never been a time like this, where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. this
The honorable Hakeem Jeffries of the state of new york has received 212. John boehner of The State Of Ohio Has received one. Look at that smile. Its going about that way. Democrats totally united while republicans are Casting Protest Votes with the speaker. And tonight, the nomination of the unqualified jim jordan is circling the drain.

If they do send it to the house, does Speaker Mccarthy put that bill on the floor. If he doesnt, there will be a shutdown. If he does, he might face a vote to strip him of his gavel. If that does happen, do democrats get involved . Well, maybe. Heres what one democrat told my colleague ali vitali on way too early this morning. Would you yourself vote to save mccarthys speakership if it came to a motion to vacate . Ye
florida. that was a classified documents case. a continuation of what we have become so used to in this case. trump appointed judge, eileen cannon entertaining wonky and far-fetched attempts i trump s legal team to dismiss the case. the afternoon focus on a motion brought by special counsel jack smith. the centered of one of the most dangerous lies donald trump has ever told you might recall back in may trump seized upon a righteous conspiracy theory percolating in far right circles , a theory based upon an extreme mischaracterization of the fbi search one warrant on mar-a- lago. he claimed that president biden and the fbi were, quote, locked and loaded to take me out during the 2022 search of mar-a- lago. he posted the biden authorized the fbi to use deadly lethal force. what truck tried to portray as an attempt on his life just a distortion of the standard language that companies every search for the false narrative was based entirely on this, the fbi s policy on the use
