recordings of trump s interviews with phil rucker and carol lening have shed new light on the former president s feelings about that, including his frustration with mike pence. pence was evacuated by secret service as insurrectionists moved dangerously close to him. what does he want him to do? i thought that the election was rigged. i think that when you have more voters when you have more votes than you had voters, i think that the vice president of the united states must protect the constitution of the united states, right? and it says very, very clearly protect the constitution of the united states. with us now are washington
but if you look around the country right now, state capitols are facing similar issues. state and local governments are having this problem. the august 13th conspiracy that president trump will be reinstated which is completely false, it is getting a reaction on social media and it s not that different than the reactions that we saw after the election in november all the way up to the insurrection in january. you see people reacting. comments might be, hey, i want to avoid the capitols on august 13th because i don t know what s going to happen. this sort of uncertainty, this sort of fear-based mongering is creating online and in-person mobilizations. that s due to one thing above all others, that people have continued to perpetuate this lie, one, that the election was stolen, which it was not, and that the insurrection was a peaceful demonstration. it absolutely was not and we heard that in vivid detail today. pete, we know from your reporting that the fbi now has charged more than 5
two quick questions for you here. when you talk about information and disinformation, before today s hearing you had members of the house republican leadership hold a press conference. they said that house speaker nancy pelosi is responsible for what happened on january 6th, not donald trump. i want to get your reaction to that. donald trump is the president of the united states. speaker pelosi is responsible for the house side of the capitol along with the house sergeant at arms. speaker pelosi is not responsible for the security of the entire capitol. maybe we need to give them a class on how the capitol is secured. the speaker hires the house sergeant at arms. the leader of the senate at the time was mcconnell. he hires the senate sergeant at arms. the architect of the capitol is hired by the president of the united states. those people make up the police force along with the capitol
police chief, who retired right after this event. the capitol police chief is hired by that capitol police force. maybe they need to study who s actually in charge and who does what in the capitol. but the speaker is responsible for hiring and resourcing the house sergeant at arms, and the same is true on the senate side and the house sergeant at arms, the senate sergeant at arms and the architect of the capitol, hired by the president, are the police force and they make decisions and they keep the speaker and the leader of the senate informed. when they need money, that s who they tell they need more money, either on the senate side or the house side. they don t know what they re talking about or they re fabricating a big lie again. this is something they ve trying to make into a bumper sticker,
