as they hid inside a room in speaker pelosi's office. the rioters tried to break down the door. her staff hid for more than two hours as the attackers ransacked her office. >> i left her a note on her desk that says, nancy, we were here you [ bleep ]. >> the anger of the mob on january 6th hasn't gone away. the former president enabled and emboldened by his former party continues to deny the election results. >> need to have 30,000 guns up here. >> there are fears this could lead to another politically motivated attack on the capitol or beyond. we're joined right now by the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. thank you so much for being with us. one year ago tonight at this moment, 8:00 p.m., you were on the way back here. >> yes. >> and that was important to come back here to finish the nation's business. >> that was very important.
channel, why is any time being spent on whether the hallmark channel is fascist or whether or not donald trump is in or out of a movie, i think people guess obsessed whether donald trump was with -- who cares, let's get on with the nation's business. i apologize. howie: light issue, you were giving your opinion based on what we knew at the time. i wanted to get cbs's denial in there. got to go, ed henry, great to see you, after the break the washington post reports that elizabeth warren despite criticism of pete buttigieg used to hold the same fat-cat fundraisers, stay with what'd we decide on the flyers again? uh, "fifteen minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance." i think we're gonna swap over to "over seventy-five
