There are people in this chamber right now who were evacuated with me and with the rest of us on that day during that attack.

People who now seem to have forgotten the danger of the moment, the assault on the Constitution, the assault on our Congress.

After bitter debate over the January 6th Capitol attack, House lawmakers, including nine

Republicans, vote to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress. The question is, will the

Justice Department prosecute? Plus, across the nation, data shows the coronavirus cases are dropping,

with vaccines set to become available to children in the coming weeks. The question is, can the country finally get some control over COVID?

And a mysterious fireball seen in the skies over Michigan. The question is, was it a comet,

space junk, or perhaps a UFO? It's way too early for this. Good morning and welcome to way too early.

The show that hopes the flying object was William Shatner going for an encore.

I'm Jonathan Lemire on this Friday, October 22nd.

We'll start with the news. The House has

voted to hold Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena from the House Select

Committee that's been investigating the January 6th attack of the Capitol. The final tally, 229 to 202.

That means nine Republicans broke with their party to support the resolution.

Seven of those nine previously voted to impeach former President Trump following the

insurrection.

One of the Republicans who voted in favor of the resolution was Congresswoman Nancy

Mace of South Carolina.

She spoke to reporters yesterday and explained her vote.

I want the power to subpoena when we start investigating some of the crises that are facing the Biden

administration right now, or they were talking about the border or the, the, the,

botched exit from Afghanistan.
