What was meant by the comment that the agents did not "sound good right now"? It means they were worried for their own lives. Called to say goodbye to their family members.

The Jan. 6 Committee drags Josh Hawley.

The Committee plays Hawley running out of the Capitol, just hours after he raised his fist in solidarity with them.

"Later that day, Senator Hawley fled after those protestors he helped to rile up stormed the Capitol."
