Summary

On Tuesday, Kamala Harris spoke at a huge rally at the Ellipse in Washington D.C, where the Jan. 6 riot began. University of Chicago political violence expert Robert Pape joins us to talk about what could be ahead for the country. Then, critics of the National Archives and Records Administration say the agency is trying to water down the thorniest parts of American history, according to new reporting from the Wall Street Journal. Reporter Rebecca Ballhaus tells us more. And, a new $11 billion wind farm and transmission line will produce clean energy for cities in the Southwest. As part of our ongoing climate series Reverse Course, Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd traveled to remote parts of New Mexico and Arizona to report on the challenge of adding new transmission lines to the U.S. grid.
