January 6 and a Divided America

Share This article

This week, the U.S. marked the one year anniversary of the January 6 riots on Capitol Hill in the wake of the challenged 2020 presidential election. In a fiery speech aimed at his predecessor, President Joe Biden laid the blame for what happened on former President Donald Trump's claims the elections were stolen, and U.S. Capitol Police officials testified that, while department force levels are down, they feel they are better equipped to protect the Capitol moving forward. Over the past year, many say the attack on the Capitol has resulted in a more divided America, and national security experts are concerned that the growing division is impacting national security. CBN News National Security Correspondent Caitlin Burke joins the Rundown to talk all things January 6.

Also, a closing story of survival as two Oregon hikers are found after being missing for a week in the snowy, mountainous wilderness. Hear about their dramatic rescue this week on the Rundown as well!
