0:00.0 | Well, the most important news of the day before what we just learned about the Jack Smith report, |
0:06.7 | and possibly still the most important news of the day, is the simple fact that no supporters of Kamala Harris attacked the Capitol today to try to prevent the counting of electoral votes. |
0:18.5 | That is something that happens only on the other side of our |
0:23.0 | politics and only with a very tiny, tiny percent of Trump supporters. Democrats have never done it, |
