Hello again, I'm Armin Alney, and this is To the Point.

Why does California's second most powerful elected officials say the state has fallen behind

when it comes to leading the fight against climate change?

We'll talk with Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon a bit later on.

But first, the one-year anniversary of the assault on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2001.

What's being done to find out what really happened and who was behind it,

and what's the state of news coverage one year later?

On the anniversary itself, President Biden came out swinging against Donald Trump

for the very first time.

The former President of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election.

He's done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interest

is more important than his country's interest than

America's interest. And because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our

constitution. He can't accept he lost.

Clinton Jurezic is a writer for the Atlantic, a fellow at Brookings and a senior editor at

Lawfare. That's a website that looks into the law, a fellow at Brookings, and a senior editor at Lawfare.

That's a website that looks into the law as a weapon of conflict.

Good to have you with us.

Thanks for having me.

Do you think that the president's new much more aggressive public stance

is going to have an impact on the Department of Justice?

It's hard to say.
