House Speaker Mike Johnson says that when the footage of the deadly January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is released to the public, the faces of the rioters will be blurred to protect them from being charged by the Justice Department. Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney was the vice chair of the House Select Committee that investigated the insurrection. She joins AC360 to discuss Speaker Johnson's decision. She also talks about the current state of the GOP and says this group of Republicans "can't be counted on to defend the Constitution." Plus, the Israeli military says today was the "most intense day since the beginning of the ground operation." CNN Correspondent Jeremy Diamond is in Ashkelon, Israel. He tells Anderson Cooper what's going on in Southern Gaza where Israeli troops have encircled the city of Khan Younis.
