good to be with you. i m ayman mohyeldin in new york. thursday s hearings of the january six committee was basically the mike pence show, revolve around the pressure campaign by donald trump s allies to get the vice president to use his constitutional, ceremonial role, on january the 6th, to change joe biden s electoral votes, or set them aside for donald trump. the panel may know about painting pence as a man of courage, who stood up against trump s plan. we are fortunate for mr. pence s courage on january 6th. our democracy came dangerously close to catastrophe. that courage put him in tremendous danger. when mike pence made it clear that he wouldn t give into donald trump s scheme, donald trump turned a mob on him. thanks in part to mike pence, our democracy was stood on trump s scheme and the balance of january 6th. all right. the committee wasn t alone. in fact, an article in the atlantic last week hailed pence as a national hero for turning back the threat t
overturned roe v. wade last year, there was immediate and palpable outrage that spread quickly across the country. that a lot of people thought tt that outrage would translate to electoral doom for the political party that had been pushing to end roe. but instead, after the court s decision, the response from elected republicans was basically no big deal. the kind of angry leftist s, many of whom were pretty ignorant and don t even know what overturning roe means, i think a month afterwards they will be surprised, wait, nothing about my life changed. there is a narrative forming in america that the republican party and the pro-life movement is on the run. no, no, no. we are going nowhere. my guess is in terms of the impact on federal races, i think it is probably going to be a wash. did not turn out to be a wash. not even close. in ballot measure after ballot measure across the country, voters came out in support of reproductive choice. in kansas, in vermont, in calif

biden on, whether it is on the issue of spending cuts or the deficit and debt, fentanyl, these are things that were to the speech to get a response from republicans. and biden in that moment i think showed one of the things the white house was hoping he would show which is bigger and fight and i think that at the end of the day that might be the thing that you remember, what he ad libbed i don t think there s any doubt that that was the magic moment in the speech, it went on an hour minutes and what everybody is going to remember, with all the clips we will see tomorrow morning on the news, are of that moment when president biden, i don t know he could say he baited or provoke them but he certainly was very happy when he got the response he got from republicans on issues like whether or not they re going to hold the economy hostage and not raise the debt limit, whether or not they re going to cut social security or medicare. and he milked that moment, once the republicans start
after him, let s give more border security. , let s crack down on fentanyl. things were he knows the republicans view him is weak and open, he is getting ahead of the curve, if you will. i a lot of the pundits going into today kept saying how today was, he would be the oldest president to ever give a state of the union address. what we saw today as, chris talked about, was the energy, upbeat, optimistic. you also saw joe biden the petition as his best. when the moment he came out, when he said to kevin mccarthy, i don t want to ruin your reputation but i look forward to working with you and then as john said, he went through a victory lap of successes. i do want to point out what thing. when he spoke at the beginning of the evening, about january 6th, and he said, our democracy faced the greatest threats
