>>> GET
>>> GSTOP THE STEEL
>>> GSTOP THE STEAL. STOP THE STEAL.
>> TODAY WAS A DARK DAY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
CAPITOL. WE CONDEMN THE VIOLENCE THAT
TOOK PLACE HERE IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS.
>> THE PRESIDENT BEARS RESPONSIBILITY FOR WEDNESDAY'S
ATTACK ON CONGRESS BY MOB RIOTERS.
HE SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY DENOUNCED THE MOB WHEN HE SAW
WHAT WAS UNFOLDING.
>> TRUMP AND I HAVE HAD A HELL OF A JOURNEY.
ALL I CAN SAY IS, COUNT ME OUT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
WHEN IT'S OVER, IT IS OVER. IT IS OVER!
>> A GROWING NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS SAYING THEY WANT HIM
OUT.
>> HE HAS BEEN IMPEACHED FOR THE SECOND TIME.
>> THE MOST BUY
>> THE MOST BIPARTISAN IMPEACHMENT OF A PRESIDENT IN
U.S. HISTORY.
>> THE ONE THING THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY IS
WHAT WILL TRUMP DO.
>> THIS IS OUR FIRST TEST OF WHAT KIND OF HOLD DOES TRUMP
INDEED STILL HAVE OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY EVEN NOW AS HE
IS OUT OF OFFICE.
>> WHAT HAPPENED ON NOVEMBER 3rd WAS A DISGRACE AND WE WILL TAKE
BACK AMERICA AND WE WILL DO IT SOON.
>> CAN WE MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP?
THE ANSWER IS NO.
>> ONE THING WE LEARNED IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP, THAT HE LISTENED TO VOICES THAT NO ONE ELSE WAS
HEARING. HE SHOULD CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN
THAT WAY.
>> I KNOW THE MEDIA WANTS TO DISTRACT FROM THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION'S FAILED AGENDA BY FOCUSING ON ONE DAY IN
JANUARY.
>> REPUBLICANS WHO ONCE REJECTED THE BIG LIE NOW FALLING IN LINE
WITH TRUMP SAYING, YOUR AGENDA IS OUR AGENDA.
PUSHING NEW LAWS TO MAKE IT HARDER TO VOTE.
>> AUDIT THE VOTES.
>> THE TIME IS NOW FOR AN AUDIT.
>> LAWMAKERS GETTING PRIMARIED FROM THE DONALD TRUMP CANDIDATE.
>> WE MUST HAVE STRONG REPUBLICANS.
>> THREATS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST ELECTION OFFICIALS.
>> PHONE CALLS SAYING OUR FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE
SLAUGHTERED.
>> THIS IS VERY MUCH A PARTY OF TRUMP.
>> WE WANT TRUMP.
>> I NEVER CONCEDED. NEVER.
WE WILL NOT BEND. WE WILL NOT BREAK.
WE WILL NOT YIELD. WE WILL NEVER GIVE IN.
WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP. WE WILL NEVER, EVER BACK DOWN.
AND WE WILL NEVER, EVER SURRENDER.
>> I'M GOING TO HAVE AN APPLE. MMM.
>> HI, GUYS.
>> HI.
>> I JUST GOT A FLIGHT OF CRIEDER.
>> A FLIGHT OF CIDER?
>> THEY RANGE FROM 7.25 TO 20.
>> WHAT?
>> HEY, GUYS. CAN I TELL YOU WHERE I AM RIGHT
NOW.
>> PLEASE DO.
>> WHERE ARE YOU?
>> I'M IN DOWNTOWN NEW YORK CITY.
IN FRONT OF ME IS THE TRUMP OFFICE BUILDING.
IT'S LIKE IT'S A GOOD TESTAMENT TO TRUMPIAN AMBITION AND BAD
TASTE. IT'S A NICE DAY OUT HERE.
YOU WOULD LIKE IT IF YOU WERE UP HERE WITH ME.
YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SIT BACK AND CONTEMPLATE THE IMMINENT
DEMISE OF OUR DEMOCRACY.
>> OH, MY GOD.
>> DONALD TRUMP WENT TO IOWA OVER THE WEEKEND.
AS YOU GUYS ALL KNOW, NOBODY GOES TO IOWA UNLESS THEY'RE
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
>> BARRING HEALTH, THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT DONALD TRUMP WOULD
RUN AGAIN.
>> YEAH. I FEEL LIKE IT'S TIME TO NOT
MAKE THINGS COMPLICATED WITH THIS GUY.
HE WILL BE THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE.
>> THAT'S A BIG PREDICTION, GIRL.
>> HERE IS THE THING. WE HAVE WATCHED AND HEARD THE
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE BIG LIE AND TRYING TO UNPACK WHAT
HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6th AND ANALYZING TRUMP.
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO GRAPPLE WITH AN ATTEMPT OF A SITTING
PRESIDENT TO ENGINEER HIS OWN RETENTION OF OFFICE EVEN THOUGH
HE LOST AN ELECTION.
>> IN 2020, DEMOCRACY AND DEMOCRATS GOT LUCKY.
RIGHT? IF THERE HAD NOT BEEN DEMOCRATIC
GOVERNORS IN WISCONSIN OR MICHIGAN OR PENNSYLVANIA, THIS
COULD HAVE EASILY GONE TRUMP'S WAY.
>> YEAH.
>> PICTURE HAS FORMED. WE DID WIN THIS.
EVERYBODY FOCUSED ON WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CAPITOL, RIGHTLY
SO. A HORRIFYING DAY IN AMERICAN
HISTORY. YET NOW WE KNOW THAT THAT WAS
JUST THE WINDOW DRESSING.
>> THERE WAS NOT JUST AN INSURRECTION AT THE CAPITOL.
IT WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ENGINEERS BY THE PRESIDENT.
HE DID EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO OVERTURN A LEGITIMATE
ELECTION.
>> HIS LAWYER, JOHN EASTMAN, PUT OUT A MEMO ABOUT THE WAYS IN
WHICH PENCE COULD REFUSE TO CERTIFY THE ELECTION RESULTS OF
2020 AND ENSURE THAT TRUMP WAS NAMED VICTOR.
WE WERE LOOKING WITH CLEARER EYES AT THE THINGS DONALD TRUMP
IS SAYING NOW, UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE IS WILLING TO DO IN
ORDER TO WIN.
>> LEARN FROM THE THINGS THAT DIDN'T WORK IN 2020 IN ORDER TO
BLAZE THE TRAIL IN ADVANCE SO THAT THE NEXT TIME AROUND I WILL
BE ABLE TO STEAL THIS THING.
>> DONALD TRUMP HAS DEMANDED AUDITS EVERYWHERE.
>> IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR TRUMP IF ANY OF THE AUDITS REVEAL HE
WON THE ELECTION. BUT THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THEM IS
TO SOW DOUBT.
>> WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE STATES IS IN ADDITION TO TRYING
TO SUPPRESS THE VOTE ON THE FRONT SIDE, ON THE BACK SIDE
WESHGS WILL WESHGS WE
HAVE PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF WHO COUNTS THEM, THOSE ARE THINGS
THAT HAVE PUT IN THE HANDS OF REPUBLICAN PARTISANS IN A LOT OF
STATES.
>> THE ASTONISHING THING IS THE BIG LIE HAS GROWN GREATER AND SO
HAS TRUMP'S POWER. WHAT'S CRAZY ABOUT THE THING
THAT TRUMP IS DOING RIGHT NOW, ON THIS IS ESCAPING ANYONE'S
ATTENTION. WE ARE WATCHING IT.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT. WE ALL SEE IT.
YET, IT'S LIKE, NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TO DO ABOUT
IT.
>> YOU DO IT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, NO ONE CAN SAY THEY
DIDN'T SEE WHAT WAS COMING. THIS IS HOW HE GETS AWAY WITH
THE CRIME.
>> THERE'S A LEGITIMATE FEAR JANUARY 6th WAS A TRAINING
EXERCISE FOR THE FUTURE.
>> WE HAVE SEEN PART ONE. WE COULD BE ON A FAST TRACK TO
THE COUP PART TWO.
>> THE HOUSE INVESTIGATION INTO THE JANUARY 6 ATTACK ON THE
CAPITOL IS PICKING UP SPEED. A FRESH ROUND OF SUBPOENAS BY
THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE JANUARY 6
RIOT.
>> WE ARE ABOUT TO LEARN MUCH MORE ABOUT JUST HOW AGGRESSIVE
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE IS PREPARED TO BE.
>> ADAM SCHIFF HAS BEEN IN CONGRESS FOR 20 YEARS.
MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ADAM SCHIFF WAS UNTIL DONALD
TRUMP CAME IN OFFICE AND SCHIFF BECAME THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE. THEN THE HOUSE IMPEACHMENT
MANAGER. NOW IS A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE
JANUARY 6th COMMISSION. HE IS BACK IN THE THICK OF
INVESTIGATING DONALD TRUMP. ALMOST NO ONE THAT DONALD TRUMP
LOVED TO HATE MORE THAN ADAM SCHIFF.
>> YOU HAVE A KANGAROO COURT HEADED BY LITTLE SHIFTY SCHIFF.
SHIFTY SCHIFF. SHIFTY SCHIFF.
LITTLE SHIFTY SCHIFF. DID YOU SEE SHIFTY SCHIFF?
OH, OH. HE IS A SICK PUPPY.
>> I'M A CONSTANT PART OF HIS SHTICK AT HIS RALLIES.
PENCIL NECK AND WATERMELON HEAD. IT'S CLEAR TRUMP ATTEMPTED A
COUP. IS THAT ACCURATE OF WHAT TRUMP
DID?
>> I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE DID. HE LOST AN ELECTION.
HE COULDN'T ACCEPT THE LOSS. HE DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO
OVERTURN THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. AND TO REINSTALL HIMSELF IN
POWER.
>> ON THE COMMISSION, THERE'S A DEADLINE FOR STEVE BANNON WHO IS
RESISTING COMING TO TESTIFY. ONE THING THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT IS IF YOU DRAG HIM KICKING AND SCREAMING,
THAT'S GOING TO SET A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
>> WE NEED TO GET ANSWERS TO HOW THIS ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL TOOK
PLACE, WHY IT TOOK PLACE, WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO PROTECT THE
COUNTRY GOING FORWARD. FRANKLY, WHAT WAS THE
PRESIDENT'S ROLE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THAT INSURRECTION?
DO WE NEED TO USE EVERY TOOL TO GET ANSWERS?
I THINK THE ANSWER IS YES.
>> DO YOU NOT WORRY ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT IF YOU GO ALL
THE WAY ON THIS THAT REPUBLICANS WILL USE THAT AGAINST DEMOCRATS,
AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATION IF THEY ARE BACK IN POWER?
>> I WORRY FOR THE COUNTRY'S FUTURE IF SOMEONE AS UNETHICAL
AS KEVIN McCARTHY WERE EVER TO HOLD THE REIGNS OF POWER.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF SOMEONE THAT UNSKRUP LUS
SOMEONE THAT UNSKRUP CRUPULOUS RUNNING THE GOP, HE WILL DO
WHATEVER DONALD TRUMP TELLS HIM. EXPOSING WHAT TOOK PLACE AND THE
ROLE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IF
NECESSARY, INSURRECTIONISTS, WHITE NATIONALIST GROUPS, THE
PUBLIC IS GOING TO FIND OUT. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY
KNOW.
>> WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THE EASTMAN MEMO.
THERE WAS A LAWYER, SOMEONE WHO HAS A LAW DEGREE, WAS ENLISTED
TO DRAFT A MEMO TO KIND OF LAY OUT HOW THE VICE PRESIDENT COULD
GET AROUND THE CONSTITUTION AND TRY TO INTERVENE ON JANUARY 6.
>> WHAT THE EASTMAN MEMO SAYS TO ME IS IT'S THROUGH THE QUASI
ME IS IT'S THROUGH THE QUA QUASI-LEGAL MEANS THAT IT COULD
COME TO AN END. THERE MAY BE ANOTHER ATTACK ON
THE CAPITOL ONE DAY. IT WILL FAIL LIKE THE LAST ONE
DID. WHAT COULD SUCCEED IN
OVERTURNING OUR DEMOCRACY IS THESE EFFORTS THROUGH STATE
LEGISLATURES AROUND THE COUNTRY TO STRIP INDEPENDENT ELECTION
OFFICIALS OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES SO THAT TRUMP
CAN SUCCEED WHERE HE FAILED BEFORE, IN GETTING THE STATES TO
OVERTURN THE WILL OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
>> IN MICHIGAN TODAY, THERE'S A PROTEST HAPPENING OVER THE
QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE AN AUDIT OF THE
MICHIGAN ELECTION RESULTS. EVERYBODY IS DOING AUDITS.
TRUMP IS ENCOURAGING IT, EVEN IN STATES HE WON.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT MATTERS MOST TO DONALD TRUMP IS
UNDERMINING CONFIDENCE OF AMERICANS IN THEIR OWN SYSTEM OF
GOVERNMENT. IT'S THE EVIL SHREWDNESS OF
DONALD TRUMP. I THINK OF ALL THE THINGS HE HAS
DONE, THIS ATTACK ON THE TRUTH ITSELF IS THE MOST CORE ROW
ITSELF IS THE MOST CORE ROE ITSELF IS THE MOST CORE RO CORR
OUR DEMOCRACY.
>> SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO BE DARING.
YOU HAVE TO BE BOLD. YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOUR GUTS.
MY GUTS TOLD ME ON NOVEMBER 4th THAT WE WERE BEING FED A LIE.
COME ON, WE'RE NOT THAT STUPID. WE NEED A FORENSIC AUDIT AND WE
NEED IT NOW. YOU PROVE BIDEN WON.
>> AS WE SPEAK, PROTESTERS ARE GATHERING AT THE MICHIGAN STATE
CAPITAL CALLING FOR A FORENSIC AUDIT, AFTER TRUMP ENCOURAGED
THEM TO ATTEND AND PROTEST THE ELECTION.
>> A CRITICAL BATTLEGROUND IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
>> THEY ARE TAKING OUR STATE.
>> ATTORNEY GENERAL NESSLE DOESN'T VALUE YOUR RIGHTS.
WE NEED AN ARMY TO FIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, IN FACT
DEMANDED BY OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, TO STOP TALKING ABOUT
THIS ISSUE.
>> I WORK FOR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
I WORKED MY ASS OFF TO GET HIM ELECTED.
AND THEY STOLE IT.
>> AMEN. AMEN.
>> USA. USA.
>> THIS TERM FORENSIC AUDIT DOESN'T HAVE MUCH MEANING.
IN FACT, IT'S LOST ANY MEANING IT MIGHT HAVE ONCE HAD BECAUSE
IT'S NOT CALLING FOR A FORENSIC AUDIT.
IT'S CALLING FOR A CONTINUATION OF A MYTH, A LIE THE ELECTION
WAS NOT ACCURATE. WITH AN EYE TOWARD MISINFORMING
CITIZENS AND CAUSING THEM TO DOUBT THE ELECTION.
WE CAN SEE FROM A LOT OF DATA THAT IT'S WORKING.
>> WE HAVE DONE OVER 250 AUDITS, MORE THAN EVER BEFORE IN OUR
STATE'S HISTORY. NO MATTER HOW MANY WAY U.S. LOOK
NO MATTER HOW MANY WAY U.S.S YOK UNDER THE HOOD, IT'S CLEAR THE
RESULTS OF THE NOVEMBER 2020 ELECTION WERE AN ACCURATE
REFLECTION OF THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
IN MY VIEW, ESPECIALLY IN REACTION TO THE RALLY AND OTHER
CALLS FOR A CONTINUED ESSENTIALLY SPREAD OF
MISINFORMATION, I THINK IT'S TIME THAT PEOPLE JUST RESPECT
THE WILL OF THE VOTERS.
>> I KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS IN THE STATE SENATE HERE, THEY
HAD A REPORT THAT CAME OUT THIS SUMMER THAT SAID THERE WAS NO
MEANINGFUL FRAUD, AND STILL THIS EFFORT TO HAVE THESE ELECTION
AUDITS PERSIST. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS AT THE ROOT
OF THAT?
>> IT'S EVOLVING INTO EVIDENCE THAT THIS ISN'T ABOUT 2020
ANYMORE. THIS IS REALLY ABOUT FUTURE
ELECTIONS. THIS IS ABOUT SOWING THE SEEDS
TO QUESTION AND POTENTIALLY SUCCESSFULLY OVERTURN THE WILL
OF THE PEOPLE IN FUTURE ELECTIONS.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S HAPPENING HERE IS THE
MICHIGAN -- THE REPUBLICAN LAWYER WHO IS RUNNING FOR AG IS
PART OF THIS AUDIT EFFORT. HE IS ORGANIZING PEOPLE TO LOOK
AT THE VOTER ROLLS AND GO DOOR TO DOOR, KNOCK ON PEOPLE'S DOOR
TO ASK THEM WHO THEY VOTED FOR.
>> IT'S A VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY OF THE CITIZENS OF THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN TO INTIMIDATE CITIZENS FROM VOTING IN THE
FUTURE. IT IS AN ACT OF INTIMIDATION.
JUST PUTTING OUT THERE WE'RE GOING TO COME TO YOUR DOOR AND
ASK YOU HOW YOU VOTED IS A SCARY THING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.
I SAY THIS AS SOMEONE WHO HAD DOZENS OF PEOPLE SHOW UP AT MY
DOORSTEP.
>> WE ARE NOT TAKING THIS BULLSHIT ELECTION.
WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY. STOP THE STEAL.
>> WITH GUNS.
>> WITH A KID INSIDE MY HOME, A 4-YEAR-OLD AT THE TIME WHO I WAS
TRYING TO KEEP SAFE. I KNOW FIRSTHAND HOW THAT FEELS.
>> YOU AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE HAD PARTICULARLY TOUGH TIMES.
THERE WAS A PLOT TO KIDNAP AND MURDER HER.
>> HERE IN MICHIGAN, I SAW FIRSTHAND JUST HOW CLOSE WE GOT
IN 2020 TO AN OVERTURNING OF A LEGITIMATE ELECTION.
IT ESCALATED ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TRAGEDY IN OUR U.S. CAPITOL
ON JANUARY 6. I KNOW HOW FRAGILE OUR DEMOCRACY
IS. WE TRULY DON'T KNOW YET WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IN '24 OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE EFFORTS TO
HURT OR UNDERMINE OR UNDO DEMOCRACY IN 2020 WILL BE
ATTEMPTED AGAIN.
>> WE ARE HERE TO SPEAK WITH THE LOU
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF THE STATE WHO IS A CRITIC OF TRUMP AND HAS
NOT BOUGHT INTO THE BIG LIE BUT PRESIDED OVER THE LEGISLATURE AS
IT PASSED ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL AND RESTRICTIVE
VOTING AND ELECTION REFORM LAWS IN THE COUNTRY.
>> GEORGIA ENACTED THIS WIDE RANGING LAW RESTRICTING VOTING.
>> THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A MEASURE REMOVING HIM.
>> ALLOWS REPUBLICANS TO APPOINT MEMBERS TO LOCAL ELECTION
BOARDS.
>> TRYING TO NARROW VOTING ACCESS IN THE WAKE OF PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP'S ELECTION DEFEAT.
>> DUNN
>> DUNCAN CAME INTO OFFICE IN 2018.
HE SAID HE IS NOT RUNNING TO BE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AGAIN.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE LAW THAT WAS PASSED IN APRIL,
SPECIFICALLY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THE
PHONE WITH SECRETARY OF STATE RAFFENSPERGER.
>> I WANT TO FIND 11,780 VOTES.
>> I WAS EMBARRASSED. I WAS SHOCKED.
>> WHAT AFFECT DID THAT PHONE CALL HAVE ON MEMBERS OF YOUR
PARTY?
>> I THINK THERE WAS TWO CAMPS, TWO DIVISIONS THAT STARTED TO
FORM. THOSE THAT SAW THAT AS SOME SORT
OF PROPER STEP TO TAKE FOR THE PRESIDENT AND THERE WAS THOSE
THAT LIKE ME THAT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST COMPLETELY EMBARRASSING, IT
WAS MISGUIDED, NOT THE WAY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
SHOULD ACT.
>> THEY PASSED A LAW THAT STRIPS THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF HIS
CHAIRMANSHIP OVER THE STATE ELECTIONS BOARD.
>> YEAH.
>> NOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS IN THE LEGISLATURE GET TO PICK THE
CHAIR OF THE ELECTIONS BOARD, IF IN ANOTHER YEAR TRUMP CALLED
THAT PERSON AND ASKED TO FIND 11,000 VOTES, COULDN'T HE BE
MORE SUCCESSFUL NEXT TIME?
>> THE INITIAL START OF THAT WAS TO TAKE SOME SORT OF SWIPE AT
RAFFENSPERGER. DONALD TRUMP HAS 0% CHANCE OF
BEING PRESIDENT AGAIN. THERE'S A SILENT MAJORITY OUT
THERE THAT DISAGREES WITH THE APPROACH.
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER PROVISION IN THE LAW, WHICH IS
THAT THE STATE ELECTIONS BOARD CAN TAKE OVER LOCAL ELECTIONS
BOARDS IF THE COUNTIES ARE UNDERPERFORMING, LONG LINES,
BAD, SLOW PROCESSING OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS.
DOES THAT CONCERN YOU?
>> WE TALK ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY ALL THE TIME IN BIPARTISAN
FORMATS. IF SOMEBODY IS UNDERPERFORMING,
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
THEY SHOULD HAVE TO ANSWER TOUGH QUESTIONS.
THE PROVISION IS, THERE'S A PROCESS THAT LEETDS
PROCESS THAT LEETD S PROCESS THAT LEETD LEADS UP TO .
HOPEFULLY, THE CITIZENS WILL SEE THAT ACCOUNTABILITY COME INTO
PLAY.
>> ARE YOU WORRIED THAT IT WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE SAME
REPUBLICANS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN FORWARDING THE BIG LIE TO MA
MANIPULATE VOTES?
>> I HOPE NOBODY IS OUT --
>> THEY ARE.
>> I WOULD NEVER STAND BEHIND IT.
I'M ONE OF THE RARE REPUBLICANS -- IT FEELS RARE --
>> YOU ARE A UNICORN.
>> THANK YOU. THAT'S THE KINDEST THING
SOMEBODY SAID TO ME ALL WEEK. I'M ONE OF THE REPUBLICANS THAT
HOPES 6 MILLION GEORGIANS SHOW UP AND VOTE.
>> THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME IS ENTHRALLED TO
DONALD TRUMP.
>> A CERTAIN PORTION OF THE PARTY IS, BUT NOT EVERYBODY.
DONALD TRUMP IS A SHORT-TERM SUGAR HIGH.
THE FEVER IS GOING TO BREAK. I FEEL SIGNS AND SEE SIGNS IT'S
BREAKING. PEOPLE ARE REALIZING THE
DANGEROUS NATURE OF ATTACHING YOURSELF TO SOMEBODY WHO IS
WILLING TO SAY THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED FOR PERSONAL REASONS.
RIGHT?
>> I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT YOU ARE LEAVING THE LIEUTENANT --
YOU ARE NOT RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT SAY, TAKE THE MEDICINE.
BUT TRY TO STAY IN POLITICS AFTER YOU SWALLOW THAT PILL.
>> I PLAN TO STAY IN THE MIX. THIS IS THE PATHWAY FORWARD.
WE WILL TAKE TIME TO GET THERE. BUT I BELIEVE AMERICA AND THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY SPECIFICALLY IS GOING TO WAKE UP, TAKE THEIR
MEDICINE AND MOVE ON TO TRY TO WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> OKAY. GOOD LUCK.
>> THANKS. I GET THAT A LOT.
>> IN PENNSYLVANIA, REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS PUSHING FOR A
SO-CALLED AUDIT OF THE 2020 ELECTION.
>> DEMANDS IN OTHER STATES NOW FOR MORE AUDITS.
MORE RE-CHECKS. IT STILL GOES ON AND ON.
>> SEEMS ONLY APPROPRIATE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
DEMISE OF DEMOCRACY THAT WE COME TO THE CITY WHERE IT ALL
STARTED. THE ONLY REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF
THE ELECTION COMMISSION HERE HAS BEEN FOR A DECADE, HE WAS AT
GROUND ZERO IN 2020.
>> COUNT EVERY VOTE.
>> PHILADELPHIA IS THE CITY IN THE EYE OF THIS ELECTION STORM.
>> GIVE US ACCESS.
>> IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE DO IT RIGHT THAN MEET ARTIFICIAL
DEADLINES.
>> BEFORE THE ELECTION, THE PRESIDENT SAID, IF I WIN, GREAT.
IF I DON'T, THERE WAS FRAUD.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. BEFORE A SINGLE VOTE WAS CAST,
THERE WAS AN EFFORT TO DISCREDIT THE RESULTS FROM PHILADELPHIA.
>> WHEN THE ELECTION HAPPENED, THE PRESIDENT TARGETED YOU
SPECIFICALLY.
>> THE PRESIDENT TWEETED REFERRING TO ME AS A RHINO,
SAYING I WAS UNWILLING TO LOOK AT A MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE THAT
THE ELECTION RESULTS WERE FRAUDULENT.
WE HAD RECEIVED THREATS PRIOR TO THAT.
IT'S WHEN THE THREATS BECAME MORE SPECIFIC, A LOT MORE
GRAPHIC, MENTIONING MY NAME.
>> SECURE DID I FOR
>> SECURE DID IITY FOR YOUR FAM?
>> YES.
>> HERE WE ARE A YEAR LATER. CERTAIN OFFICE HOLDERS IN
PENNSYLVANIA ARE DEMANDING AN AUDIT.
>> A YEAR LATER, BASED ON NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING WHATSOEVER.
THERE'S A REAL CIRCULAR NATURE TO IT.
ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE LYING TO CONSTITUENTS.
THEY ARE DEMANDED THE ELECTED OFFICIALS DO SOMETHING ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO BEGIN WITH, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
LIED TO ABOUT.
>> THAT'S FASCINATING. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A CLOSED
LOOP OF DISINFORMATION. THE ELECTED OFFICIALS LIE TO
CONSTITUENTS, THEY BELIEVE IT AND DEMAND THAT THE ELECTED
OFFICIALS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
>> THE ELECTED OFFICIALS SAY, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
>> WE ARE SEEING IN PENNSYLVANIA NOT ONLY YOU BUT A THIRD OF
ELECTION OFFICIALS LEAVING. THE QUESTION IS, WHO ARE THEY
BEING REPLACED BY? HOW MUCH OF A PROBLEM MIGHT THAT
BE?
>> IN A LOT OF CASES, THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL CIVIL SERVANT
ELECTION ADMINISTRATORS BEING DRIVEN OUT BY A LOT OF THIS.
YOU HAVE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THOSE PEOPLE ARE REPLACED BY
OTHERS WHO ARE NOT COMMITTED TO COUNTING VOTERS' VOTES, WHO WANT
TO PUT THEIR THUMB ON THE SCALE TO AFFECT THE OUTCOME OR WHO
WANT TO DISCREDIT THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTION THAT THEY
THEMSELVES WERE RUNNING.
>> WHAT'S THE POTENTIAL RAMIFICATIONS OF SOMETHING LIKE
THAT?
>> I MEAN, THE REAL POTENTIAL RAMIFICATION IS THAT THINGS FALL
APART. AND THAT WE HAVE REAL CIVIL
UNREST. THAT'S WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
AND IF PEOPLE DON'T SOUND THE ALARM, WE POTENTIALLY REACH A
POINT OF NO RETURN. AND THAT'S FOR WHAT?
FOR WHAT?
>> FORMER WHITE HOUSE CHIEF STRATEGIST STEVE BANNON WAS A NO
SHOW ON CAPITOL HILL.
>> THEY WILL VOTE ON WHETHER TO HOLD STEVE BANNON IN CONTEMPT OF
CONGRESS.
>> BANNON WAS URGED NOT TO COOPERATE BY FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
>> WE ARE NOT FOOLING AROUND. WE EXPECT PEOPLE TO FULFILL
THEIR LAWFUL DUTIES.
>> WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE COLLAPSE OF DEMOCRACY, THERE
IS NO BETTER PERSON TO SPEAK WITH THAN FIONA HILL.
HILL SERVED UNDER THREE PRESIDENTS.
FIRST AS AN INTELLIGENCE ANALYST AND THEN UNDER TRUMP SHE SERVED
AS DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT AND SENIOR DIRECTOR ON
THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL. SHE'S OUT NOW WITH A NEW BOOK
THAT SHE'S WRITTEN ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENED TO AMERICA AND THE RISE
OF POPULISM IN THIS COUNTRY CALLED "THERE IS NOTHING FOR YOU
HERE." HILL REALLY BECAME A HOUSEHOLD
NAME DURING THE FIRST IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS.
SHE WAS ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT WHISTLE-BLOWERS FROM
INSIDE THE TRUL INSIDE THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE.
TRUMP IS PRAISING THE INSURRECTIONISTS, THE LIE THAT
THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN IS NOW SOMETHING THAT IS PARROTED
ACROSS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
>> THE RULER CONSOLIDATES A PARTY LIKE TRUMP HAS, WHEN HE
CAN CONVINCE EVERYONE IN THE PARTY TO PROMOTE A FANTASY, A
LIE, WHAT STAGE OF A COUP IS THAT IN
THAT THAT?
>> A LEGAL COUP. WE CALL IT WHAT WE LIKE.
IN RUSSIA, FOR EXAMPLE, VLADIMIR PUTIN, HE USED THE LEGISLATURE,
THE RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT, TO ESSENTIALLY PUSH THROUGH A LEGAL
COUP WITH THE TRAPPINGS, PRESENTED ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF
WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE EXTENDS HIS ABILITY TO STAY
IN OFFICE UNTIL 2036. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE FOR THAT FOR
DONALD TRUMP AS WELL? HE MAKES COMMENTS ABOUT WOULDN'T
IT BE AMAZING IF I WAS IN POWER FOREVER?
>> IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE THEM CRAZY, YOU SAY, 12 MORE YEARS.
>> WHEN HE IS TALKING TO FOREIGN LEADERS, I HEARD HIM SAY THIS
ALL THE TIME. FOREIGN LEADERS DON'T HAVE
CHECKS AND BALANCES. HE SAYS THINGS LIKE, YEAH, I
WOULD LIKE THAT. PUTIN DOES HAVE FAIRLY UNCHECKED
POWER. HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, WE
HAVE A LOT OF CHECKS AND BALANCES IN THE SYSTEM.
UNTIL WE DON'T.
>> DO YOU ENVISION A DAY WHERE THE OUTCOME OF AN ELECTION IS
UNSATISFACTORY TO THE REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE AND THAT
THEY ACTUALLY OVERTURN THE RESULTS?
>> IT'S HAPPENING. THE REDRAWING OF THE ELECTORAL
MAP AND REPRESSION AND SUPPRESSION OF THE VOTE, ANOTHER
THING THE RUSSIANS DO. CALLING INTO QUESTION ANY
OUTCOME THAT DOESN'T GO THEIR WAY.
WE SEE IT OVER AND OVER IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND SOUTH AMERICA.
IT'S HAPPENING HERE. IT'S HAPPENING HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES. PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
IT'S GOING TO AFFECT THEIR LIVES.
WHAT IF YOU ARE ON THE OTHER END OF THIS?
YOU MIGHT DO SOMETHING OR YOU MIGHT WANT TO STAND UP FOR
SOMETHING YOU THINK IS UNFAIR. THEN THE SYSTEM WILL COME AND
GET YOU, TOO.
>> DO YOU THINK DEMOCRATS ARE DOING ENOUGH?
>> I DON'T. THEY ARE FIGHTING AMONG
THEMSELVES. THEY SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THE
FUTURE OF AMERICA.
>> AS SOMEONE WHO WORKED INSIDE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, WHAT
WOULD IT MEAN IF HE MANAGED TO GET BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE IN
2024?
>> DEMOCRACY IS DONE IF IT'S NOT FAIR.
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY OF TRUMP WILL BE BASED ENTIRELY ON A LIE.
IRRESPECTIVE HOW MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE VOTE FOR HIM.
THEY WILL HAVE BEEN DUPED AND BASICALLY DECEIVED INTO VOTING
FOR A LIE. THE FUTURE OF AMERICA AND THE
FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY ARE AT STAKE HERE.
BEHOLD THE LEGEND LIVES RISING
UP OUT OF THE FLAMES, THEY COULDN'T KEEP ME DOWN
THE
THE KID'S
THE KID'S BACK
THE KID'S BACK IN
THE KID'S BACK IN THE
