it s one of the reasons why the hearings will be so important. but i agree with you. look, i think part of the challenge is you teamed up really well, clearly, the former president was impeached for inciting the attack on the capitol. but the subtext was always this conspiracy, ultimately, subvert a peaceful transfer of power. and you see that playing in the eastman emails, and i think one of the central threats that you ve sort of begun to, and others i think, are trying to trace is precisely what happened with respect to the vice president. yeah, i wanna play this thing. i keep going back to this there s two things. there is something that congressman geico said, something that pence, which is the same thing, like don t leave the capitol. even though the security situation is back here is how geico put it. listen. i saw a bunch of buses pull up. and there were buses to evacuate us. and let me tell you, in goose when you leave the capital, you ve lost. and so, i started textin
member i could, and all of our text, to not leave. if they tell you to leave do not leave. it s safer to stay here. we get on those buses, there s no guarantee you can come back. you know, that sounds scary and might hit some peoples but what i keep coming back is to get people to fully appreciate the violence and everything can be seen as an accident of everyone getting out of head or as part of the plan. and that ultimately to the extent that the congress is not there, or mike pence can preside, the thing that donald trump wants to prevent can t happen. i think you re precisely right, and i agree with my colleague, representatives gallego. we have spent weeks, chris, preparing rebuttals to the objections that we knew would be made on january six, myself, representative raskin, chairman schiff, and chairwoman lofgren. and one of the outstanding questions throughout that entire process was wet with the
vice president to? when he discharges his duty faithfully, or would he suffered the comes constitution? as the former president and his allies wanted him to do. and of course, one of the outstanding questions as whatever the vice president decides not to preside for nefarious reasons? and of course, you touched on this. there s some reporting around the senate, senator grassley, serving in that role rather than the vice president. so yes, i mean, clearly, we came very close to the brink, in my view, of losing a republic. the ability for our country to continue functioning as a constitutional republic. and i suspect we re gonna learn a lot more, starting next thursday evening, as the january six committee begins these public hearings, and begins to kind of tell the story that so many americans have not been able to white yet see. all right, congressman joe neguse, as always, thank you for your time. thank you. my colleague ari melber on the arrest on one of his guests last night,
his fellow coup plotters, who knew that pence was unwilling to cooperate from turning the screws. i hope mike will do the right thing. i hope so! i hope so. because if mike pence does the right thing, we win the election. mike pence, i hope you are going to stand up for the good of our constitution and for the good of our country. and if you are not, i am going to be very disappointed in you, i will tell you right now. that is the message that the crowd, gathered at the ellipse heard, right before trump with them into a frenzy and then instructed them, invited them to march towards the capitol, we are thousands of them broke into the building, assaulting police officers and chanting, hang mike pence. they even erected a gallows with a noose outside the building. naturally, the secret service took the angry mob some of them chanting hang mike pence, pretty seriously. the secret service came to
