this election was stolen from you, from me, and from the country. if you ask how many republican congressmen believe donald trump was reelected, i d say maybe a couple but 60% of our base does. conspiracy theories. that could have been mickey mouse. watching. this is the craziest thing i ve ever seen and people bought it. lawsuits. they tried to not have your votes counted. they did not want your vote to count. potentially illegal pressure campaigns. i just want to find 11,780 votes. what he was asking for wasn t supported by the facts, wasn t supported by the constitution. extraordinary scheming. let s talk about it. just breathtaking you would have laid out such a clear game plan that so clearly violated the constitution. and all too many in the republican party. do you believe this was a free and fair election? and maga media who followed along. unverifiable dumps of votes. we will never give up. we will never concede. stop the steal!
supporters in the white house. they were telling him, using many different kinds of words, that what he was saying was a lie. he lied in an effort to stop the counting of ballots on election night and to later cast doubt on their validity. and allegedly he lied in pursuit of a quarter billion dollars in campaign donations to a fund he lied about the very existence of, an election defense fund that did not exist. those are the elements of the case the january 6th committee is building against donald trump, and today in the second installment of televised hearings, it was testimony from some of the former president s most senior advisers at the time who actually made that case, including his campaign manager, bill stepien, and the sitting attorney general of the united states at the time, bill barr. as you ll hear and this is from the other or this is the other takeaway from today s proceedings, much of what they had to say to the former president at the time and more recen
good evening, any fair minded person who has followed the lafayette and presidency of donald j. trump knows he lies and lies a lot. what we learned today from the sworn testimony of those who worked closely with then president trump is they knew he lied just as much as we thought he did. the former president of the united states lied about nonexistent election fraud before, during and after the 2020 election. he lied despite being told again and again and again that it was not existent, that there was no widespread election fraud by the people around him, his supporters in the white house. they were telling him using many different kinds of words that what he was saying was a lie. he lied in an effort to stop the counting of ballots on election night and to later cast doubt on their validity. and allegedly he lied in pursuit of a quarter billion dollars in campaign donations to a fund he lied about the very existence of, an election defense fund that did not exist. as you ll
declare victory. they needed time for the votes to come in. disregards what they say. and then just continue with a big lie. even when his attorney general told him it was bs. when other senior members of the justice department said there was no merit to the fraud allegations. the u.s. attorney in georgia looked into other allegations and said they were without merit. he s told over and over again this is just not true. but he continues with it. and they raise money off the big lie. anger and motivate people to show up on the 6th around the big lie. and those people he insights to attack the capitol. and it s a pretty clear linear progress of that big lie from beginning to end. i think there s a question here about accountability that you and i have talked about before. the idea of clearly drying a line between the former president and what happened on this day. you don t have the ability to bring criminal proceedings, but you could make criminal referrals. what s your mess
for a potential surge in political violence. once the court hands down the ruling, which is expected to overturn roe versus wade, when the document was leaked, the white house was given the chance to condemn it. but they showed not to and even went so far to say that biden was energized by the unprecedented protests outside the justices homes. they brought this anchor to the floor and now, the only responsible thing to do is to release this ruling. right? the court has released the ruling. now and are we ever going to find out who that leader is? chief justice john roberts. we will have more on our panel on this topic in just a moment. first, biden s epic collapse. that is the focus of tonight s angle. president biden: my predecessor did. the stock market has gone up exponentially. you have not heard me say a word about it. trump let s to post the stock market. i never thought that. laura: i guess it is a good thing. he never really worried or cared that much. otherwise
