officer hodges? >> i think fanone hit the nail on the head there. as patrol officers, we can only, you know, deal with crimes that happen on the streets, misdemeanors and occasionally violent felonies, but you guys are the only ones we've got to deal with crimes that occur above us. i need you guys to address if anyone in power had a role in this, if anyone in power coordinated or aided or abetted or tried to down play, tried to prevent the investigation of this terrorist attack because we can't do it, we're not allowed to. i think the majority of americans are looking forward to that as well. >> thank you. officer dunn? >> thank you, chairman. there's a sentiment going around that says everybody is trying to make january 6th political. well, it is not a secret it was political. they literally were there to stop the steal, so when people say it shouldn't be political. it is, it was, and it is. there's no getting around that. telling the truth shouldn't be hard. fighting on january 6th, that was hard. showing up january 7th, that was hard. the 8th, t

so hopefully we'll see some, lots of lots of women wash as the hodge this year, d, w as reporter and shorter. thank you so much for that update. i can turn our attention it to the 10 a film festival. now it's a glitzy opening ceremony is often filled with suspense with attendees waiting until the end to find out who has won the top award. this, your jury president spike lead jumped the gun and the night started with this miscommunication. can you tell me which price is the 1st price? yes, i can knew we call the film one, the palm doors to turn raise. wait. maybe to me. i see this. you went to the film to ton by julia corners. it's me, the 2nd time in the history of the festival that a woman receives the award provoke it is radical, and shocking to me. the main character, alexia has a titanium plate implanted in her head after a serious car accident. as a child. in spite of this, she loves cause quite literally and brutally kills anyone who gets too close to her . she meets a fireman. he loves her like a father. at the same time, her body gets through a drastic change film critics, a

yeah, this year women are allowed to perform hodge without having a male guardian. that's different from previous years where a woman who wanted to do her islamic muslim duty and go on the hodge would have to be accompanied by a father or a brother or her husband or even her son. this year, groups of women travelling together can actually take take part in the college and and complete the pilgrimage. but it hasn't been completely smooth for them. because taking part in the colleges usually organized through to travel agencies. and these agencies, they have government approval and they organize everything from you travel to the hodge to the transfers between the holy sites to the accommodation there. and some of these agencies were not taking bookings from women who were traveling without my l guardian. i did all these in a shorter thank you so much for that update and return it to the can film festival. now its glitzy closing ceremony is often filled with suspense with attendees waiting until the end to find out who has won the top award. but this year jury presiden

i remember him foaing at the mouth. >> some members of the front mob tried to convert officer hodges to join them because he is white and they are white supremacists. others told him how he would die. >> one man tried and failed to build a report with me shouting are you my brother? another takes a different tactic shouting you will die on your knees. >> republican congressman adam kinzinger near tears praised the officers heroism. >> you guys all talked about the effects you have to deal with and, you know, you talk about the impact of that day. but you guys won. you guys held. you know, democracies are not defined by our bad days. we're defined how we come back from bad days and how we take accountability from that. >> leading off our discussion is jamie raskin of maryland, he's a member of the january 6th select committee. thank you very much for joining us tonight after this important day's work. and i want to begin with you as a constitutional law professor and a former impeachment manager in this second impeachment trial of donald trump, the lead impeachment manager for the ins

daniel hodges who was one of the metropolitan d.c. police officers who testified today, he was treated differently by the crowd, and i'd like to run a clip 14 if we have that ready. >> pthey didn't say anything especially zxenophobic to me bu to my black colleagues and anyone who is not white. and they would -- some of them would try to recruit me. one of them came and said are you my brother? and there are many known organizations with ties to white supremacy. that had a presence there. 3%ers, keepers y. people who associate with donald trump i find more likely to subscribe to that kind of belief system. >> chief gainer, what was your reaction? i mean, that's a pretty jarring disparity there. you have these terrorists, these in insurrectionists hurling racist epithets. and yet, to one of the white officers, they were trying to in his view, recruit him. >> yeah. i think it demonstrates the sickness of so many of the people who were in that crowd that they think they can divide any of us by either how we dress or who we live with, or w

sergeant gonell, officer hodges you were a virginia guardsman, i believe? >> yes, sir. >> at any time in your service in the military -- you know, i'm an air guardsman. sergeant gonell, you mentioned your time in iraq. at any time in your military service, did you change how you defended the person to your left or right or how you trained with them based on their political affiliation? >> no. >> no, sir. the way i view it at that time was i'm an american and the person right next to me is an american, and i will do everything possible for me to defend him and the country at that time. >> you guys did that in the blue? >> yes, sir. >> i want that is the mission of this committee. we may have deep divisions on policy issues, but we are all americans today. we thank you for holding that line. >> congressman, if i may respond , when you asked about the armed part when the officers, assumed officers showed me what appeared to be a police badge, i don't know too many police officers -- and this is just me being a police officer for 13 years -- that carry their ba

officer hodges, we have seen the harrowing video of you being crushed in a doorway as you bravely fought to keep the mob from breaching the capitol. many of they were not shared to the public. >> one of my sergeants, sergeant brian peak, while trying to maintain control of the barricades on the west terrace was struck by a rioter and fractured and severely lacerated his right index finger. he kept in the fight for several more hours after that and put tape and a napkin on it and went back to work. he was there for several hours before finally accepting medical evac. he ended up having to have the tip of his finger removed. another officer who was out there in the fight with us, he, much like myself, he had a large heavy object thrown and struck his head. he was not as lucky as me. he suffered lost time on that day and remains out on medical leave. even today he has not returned to work, but at the time he was still fighting. another officer who was on the west end of the tunnel was instrumental to the fence after being soaked by the spray, he was shocked by a cattle prod one of the terro

just 32 years old, officer hodges is a member of the civil disservice unit. on the morning of january 6th, his unit was assigned to maintain high visibility near presidents part where the president at the time, donald trump, was speaking at a rally. early in the afternoon, as the right began, they were ordered to respond to the capital where this utterly horrific scene took place. officer hodges is the man you see here being crushed in a door frame as he attempted to keep the mob from entering the building. officer hodges described those people as terrorists and it described the many attacks they waged on him as fellow officers. they threw an heavy object at him, hitting him in the head making him disoriented. another attempted to gouge out his right eye and yet some of those terrorists claim to be supporters of the police. >> terrorists are attempting to breach the metal fencing it was the only barrier we had aside from ourselves. the sea of people was punctuated throughout flags, maybe variations of very american flags and trump flags. it was clear the terr

so our firearm has worn out on this year's restrictions around the hodge. malik fulton, my mood doesn't meet the requirements for this. he is, has in saudi arabia. and 66 year old in pakistan is one of maybe 2500000 muslims from around the world, missing the annual gathering for the 2nd year because of the pandemic. so malick is now pinning his hopes on going in 2022. instead. it's either that or not me, but i had to run on the yeah, i mean nobody can trust this life. there's no guarantee that i'll be alive even for another 2nd. so in my heart, i wish i can do the hush. every muslim tries to go, but it is god's fight. why the saudi arabia has limited numbers to just 60000 vaccinated residents, age between 16 and 65. and it's implementing strict coded 19 measures that the holy sites say shall distancing as a master even in prayer. pilgrims have also been put in groups with a government guide to ensure safety protocols are followed, and the new digital system has been introduced. worshipers must use a small call to gain entry to the holy sites. it also contains their medical history and s

when you pull the local nationals to form hodge. ok. well, obviously that's a scenario that we would ask the saudi government to respond to. we are still doing that, but for the moment, what we do see is that saudi arabia has any vaccinated, less than 10 percent of its population. it still has the cobit 19 problem, and those that are double vaccinated will be able to certainly move around the country. but the kingdom itself is trying to put in place restrictions full. certainly the 1st of august, it is trying to keep on top of the coven scenario and keep its domestic economy running. whether that be a rock concert, or whether it be taller than most countries around the world are grappling with this dilemma. are they not? yes, of course i understand at the same time which you why right the mention, saudi arabia is a lot of tourism within the kingdom. and i think one of the reasons is because they're losing a lot of money which accumulates from hodge or the less appendages, or roger has been shut from outside the outside kingdom. but at t

and we pass it's necessary for a teeth in less than 45 seconds using an advanced technical system. hodge is one of the largest gatherings in the world and brings in an annual revenue of $12000000000.00 for the saudi government. but the pandemic has had a devastating effect on businesses, especially for hard travel agencies, both in saudi arabia and abroad. got them had good luck hash and i think close for 2 years now, and there is nothing that can be done about it. but we're in the process of closing the highest or a union handing over a file to the ministry of labor. we ask god to end this, worry this greece and this pandemic for all my, my left foot in the car was up for many muslim, the highs remains a lifelong dream and at least for those living in saudi arabia, they'll be able to fulfill it this year. so to hide under zito. ah, i just want to take you through the main stories we're covering this tower and emergency workers in western germany and belgium, searching for hundreds of people believe to be missing off the devastating unprecedented floods. more than a 160 people are now co

officer daniel hodges is a member of the civil disturbance unit 42 in the d.c.olice department where his responsibilities include riot response. prior to his service on metropolitan police department, he serves six years in the 116th infantry regiment, third battalion, as an indirect fire infantryman. harry dunn is a 13 year veteran of the united states capitol police and a member of its first responders unit. his responsibilities include ensuring the integrity of the perimeter around the capitol building. officer dunn has been among the first capitol police officers describing what happened to law enforcement on january 6th. i will now swear in our witnesses. our witnesses will please rise and raise their right hand. do you swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth andin and nothing but the truth, so help you god? thank you. you may be seated. let the record reflect that the witnesses answered in the affirmative. without objection, the witnesses' full statement will be included in the record. i now recognize sergeant

my time will be limited so i'll be asking questions of officer hodges and

officer hodges i know it was part of your job initially before you responded to the capitol. if in the middle of all that melee you see somebody with a gun in that crowd, would you be able to go out, apprehend and arrest them, read them their rights and go through that process or was the mission at the moment survival and defense of the capitol? i'm asking is it possible that people maybe have guns and we've seen that actually there were but this idea that well, people weren't arrested with guns at the time it was raw survival. i'll start with we can just start to the left. let me ask you, what is your response to that? >> for those people who continue to downplay this vie olent attack on democracy and officers i suggest them to look at the videos and the footage right now. common things were used as weapons, like a baseball bat, a hockey stick, a rebar, a flagpole, including the american flag, pepper spray, bear spray, you name it. you had all these items and things that were thrown at us and used to attack us. those are weapons, no matter if it is a pen, the way they were u

now thousands of muslims have gathered it, not arafat, near mecca for the 2nd day of hodge. this year's event is marked by a small number of pilgrims of the 2nd year due to covert non teen restrictions. y mid vall has more standing at the moment out of out is considered the high point of the hud ritual. the. 6 day before known as a per we, he's the pity graham got at the minute valley to prepare for the climb out is where they will stand for most of the day, addressing the sky with the person prayers last year at the 1st had since the corona violence pandemic strike, only $1000.00 people were allowed to attend law this year. that'll be 60000 all from, with saudi arabia. in previous years, there would be more than $2000000.00 from around the world. sure. or was she in and when i realized that i'm one of the only 60000 people doing this hard when i compare it to those who did it with the messenger of god. peace be upon him being more numerous than they were about $100000.00. i feel as part of a group who have been privileged by being able to do this hodge ritual in praise. be

officer hodges held up the u.s.ode to back it up so they were making a distinction between somebody that interferes in a hearing and what these folks were doing. >> yeah, this is an interesting legal distinction because there isn't a law that makes it illegal to commit an act of domestic terrorism. that surprises a lot of americans. on the back end, you can get a terrorism enhancement and classify something as an act of terrorism but broadly speaking, there is not just one law that says this makes an act of terrorism, domestic terrorism illegal. there are individual statutes that apply to specific instances, but, you know, notably, gunning down people in a mob isn't one of them so that's not something that would normally be classified as a domestic terrorism incident. if you look at dylann roof's charges years back, that wasn't classified domestic terrorism. under the legal definition, i think officer hodges is right this meets the definition. that is something that federal prosecutors have been saying in court that

but daniel hodges was winning, and he was saving lives. that is tonight's last word, the 11th hour with brian williams starts now. >> good evening once again, i'm chris -- in for brian williams. day 189 of the biden administration. and today, we heard from four of the police officers who are on the front lines of the battle to defend the capitol during the insurrection carried out by donald trump supporters. they testified at the first hearing of the bipartisan house committee investigating the events of january 6th. a hearing that took place at the scene of the crime, where both lawmakers, and law enforcement, were witnesses. we watched the right unfold hour by hour on january 6th, but today, the select committee released new video of the attack during the hearing. just a warning, some may find this video disturbing. [noise] >> watch out, watch out. [noise] [noise] along with that video came harrowing testimony from officers who are under attack as they fought for hours, trying to hold the line against the rioters. we should warn you, som

metro police officers hodges and fanone and u.s.tol police officer harry dunn and aquilino gonell all taking strong exception to the efforts to whitewash the tragic events of that day. >> i feel like i went to hell and back to protect them and the people in this room. but too many are now telling me that hell doesn't exist or that hell actually wasn't that bad. the indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful. >> reporter: detailing the brutal injuries they suffered and the struggles they continue to deal with nearly seven months after the attack. >> a man grabbed the front of my gas mask and used it to beat my head against the door. the strap stretching against my skull and straining my neck. i remember him foaming at the mouth. >> reporter: mincing no words about who was responsible. >> when you think about that and share with us the vivid memory of the cruelty and the violence of the assault that day, and then you hear former president trump say, quote, it was a loving crowd, there was a lot of love in the crowd, how does t

officer hodges mentioned in national guardsmen as a police officer myself something i can share with you is a horrific experience that you have that they. all of us having taken this oat i took it when i was 17 and joined the navy and over to decades when you mentioned can compare this earlier today experiences you had overseas. in a war zone you didn't feel a bad as he felt this day can you share that in a little more detail was going on at and the thoughts about what you have experience defending the nation on foreign soil and now when th heart of the nation and the capital being assaulted the way that you were. it was very disappointing. i saw many officers fighting fo their lives. again if people in these writer our very own citizens. bullet had the thin blue line o the chest. another writer would be wearing a marine hat and any other type of military paraphernalia. they're accusing us does when i was in iraq the sense of karami he did this whether you are white black it doesn't matter what color you are. we all knew what we were fighting for. my experience here is that ther were

saw that day. >> officer hodges that must be difficult to watch that people need to see that becauseity the committee is a committed to to move forward as a country. january 6 was an attack on our democracy. is an attack on the peaceful transfer of power and on this capital building. but also an attack on real people. most people don't know this and you don't know this but your actions have a profound impact on me. 3:00 p.m. january 6, while you were holding back the mob that the entrance i was hold up with congresswoman rice in a small office about 40 pieces from the tunnell that you were in about the distance from where i'm sitting to that backwall. from that office in close proximity to where youk held the line i listened to you struggle. i listened to yelling out to one another. i listen to you care for one another directing people back to the makeshift workstation at the end of our hall. and then i listen to people coughing and having difficulty breathing but i heard you all get back into the fight. congresswoman rice and i were the only members to be down there we took refuge i

i didn't know at that time, but that was officer hodges, and he's here today to testify. i too was being crushed by the rioters. i could feel myself losing oxygen and recall thinking to myself, this is how i'm going to die, defending this entrance. >> as the afternoon wore on, i was completely drained both physically and emotionally. i sat down on a bench in the rotunda with a friend of mine. who was also a black capitol police officer. and told him about the racial slurs i endured. i became very emotional and began yelling, how the blank could something like this happen? is this america? i began sobbing. officers came over to console me. >> there are some who express outrage when someone kneels while calling for social justice. where are those same people expressing the outrage to condemn the violent attack on law enforcement, the capitol in our american democracy? i'm still waiting for them. >> what makes the struggle harder and more painful is to know so many of my fellow citizens including so many of the people i put my life at risk to defend are downplaying or outrig
