the killing of tyre nichols by memphis police, which we cover on this show. it was released, and we return to with this evening. there's also a surveillance video and body camera footage from the brutal attack of the husband of then speaker of the house nancy pelosi. police released this video, on your screen, of the attacker casing pelosi's house, scoping it out there, crucially, they also released video of this moment depicting the suspect breaking into pelosi's house to carry out the attack. and finally, there is the video of the attack itself. now, as you can imagine, this video is profoundly disturbing and graphic. and we are going to play it just once, because we believe you have the right to see it. we believe showing it is in public interest, considering, particularly, the amount of misinformation, disinformation and outright scurrilous nonsense there has been surrounding the attack. please be warned, viewers may find the video disturbing. >> yeah, look at what's in there -- >> hi, how you're doing? what's going on, man? >> hi. >> drop the hammer -- w
