Realized that the violence at the capitol is very much a part of this indictment. it s not set aside yet and charged separately, but the violence becomes a fulcrum to leverage the big lie into some kind of pressure against pence, into action against congress. it s in there throughout. what s really disturbing are the passages in the indictment that show us how cavalierly the co-conspirators and donald trump were treating the likelihood of violence. if you continue this attempt to defraud people and steal the vote, there s going to be violence in the street. yeah, that s why we have an insurrection act. they seem prepared to invoke the insurrection act which means putting military troops on the streets, calling out a militia,

For Brazilians in the Berkshires, last weekend s riots in their home country s capital brought bitter memories of the U.S. insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. They said the events are eerily
Clear he ll take retribution if he becomes speaker. he said he s got to kick off democratic congressmen like adam schiff and others who inc.erred him off of key committees. this is a really toxic moment on the hill where members are going after each other, the parties are in full-throated combat with each other and where we head will be determined by the election in the fall. okay, then but peter, shouldn t the president s message be to democratic members of congress in help me help you. they need his help in holding on to power and he needs their help in getting any more of their legislative agenda done. you can argue they haven t helped him by blocking his build back better social program. that has been the singular failure of this administration and voting rights. the thing he counted on the most, had everything packed into one program, a whole new deal, a whole great society in one piece of legislation. and the fact that it seems to be stuck, if not completely dead is
Uphold the rule of law, which you d think would be the first thing members of congress think about every day. you d think. eugene, do you think all this infighting in the party will impact the mid terms and beyond? i do think it s going to impact the mid terms. i don t know what s going to happen to the republican party to tell you the truth. i really don t. i once knew what the republican party was, what it stood for. in fact, it fought was last 2020 election without a platform, without a statement of what it believes and what it wants to do, except, gee, we follow trump. that s what the party is about right now. and good luck with that. i mean, good luck with that because what direction is donald trump going to take you in? i don t think it s a good one. we ll soon find out. eugene robinson, mike murphy, 10 years old joining the republican party. again, learn about baseball, kid. coming up, after days of
Attack on congress by mob rioters. there s no question, none, that president trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day. republican leaders of the house and senate get tonight s last words. 11th hour starts now. good evening, i m stephanie ruhle. day 358 of the biden administration, the day the lawmakers investigating the capitol riot set their sights on what may their most significant target yet. late today the january 6th committee asked the top house republican and close trump ally, kevin mccarthy, for a voluntary interview. the house committee s six-page letter to mccarthy asks for details about his communications with trump during and after the
Testify about your conversation with donald trump on january 6th if you were asked by an outside commission? sure. next question. you didn t hear that? he said sure. and here s some of that floor speech chairman thompson referred to that was made one week after the insurrection. the president bears responsibility for wednesday s attack on congress by mob rioters. he should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding. these facts require immediate action by president trump. accept his share of responsibility. quell the brewing unrest and ensure president-elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. what we saw last week was not the american way. neither is the continued rhetoric that joe biden is not that legitimate president. let s be clear. joe biden will be sworn in as president of the united states
Big tough guys are hiding under their desk. we don t know what they re hiding but what can the committee do to pull these guys out from under their desks and get some answers? it s uncharted territory. they options. they could take the path they took with bannon and mark meadows, but it s possible that d.o.j. could decline to get involved in a dispute between members of congress. so ultimately the committee may have to consider whether their internal mechanism, their ethics mechanism for dealing with members of congress is something that could be used in this sort of a setting. that s i think why we heard bennie thompson, who has been very firm in talking about enforcement of subpoenas in other areas really step back from saying he would obtain a subpoena here. there s an additional criminal question lurking here,
Stephanie, maybe more than one. we see this evolution that mccarthy undergoes and it s clear he says one thing before he meets with trump and another thing after he meets with trump at mar-a-lago. i want to lock into whether mccarthy is a co-conspirator or whether he wants to position himself as a victim and a witness. i think there s a lot more to come here. peter, this white house is trying to help democrats hold on to the majority in the house. this committee is largely democrats with a couple of pretty unpopular republicans. if democrats lose the house, what s it going to be like for the biden administration to work with congress? well, that will be the end of his legislative agenda for this
