Senior Rome Correspondent for Catholic News Agency, Hannah Brockhaus, joins to tell us about the surgery, why he had it now and what sort of recovery he can expect. Meanwhile, it has been exactly 6 months since millions watched people storm the US Capitol. Now, a January 6th Committee will further investigate the events leading up to the riot. Washington Editor for the Spectator, Amber Athey, joins to share what she thinks of this January 6th Committee and whether it is a step in the right direction for accountability, more political theater or another way to attack former President Donald Trump. And the death toll in Surfside, Florida has risen to 32, with more than 100 people still missing, as recovery crews comb through debris of the now completely demolished condominium. The crews have removed nearly 5 million pounds of concrete, but as the search continues so do the questions. Finally this evening, today is the feast of Saint Maria Goretti.
