he has extended executive privilege over he s wanted, but i think there is probably a legal sensitivity in that ultimately, pence, who is already exerted executive privilege, will probably try and do that again. what do we know about their relationship, both pence and trump? i know that they ve spoken at least three times since they since pence and trump left office on january 20th, 2021. it is a tense relationship, especially as mike pence decides if he is going to run for reelection if he is going to run for the presidency against donald trump. they were once allies and now they are competitors, that is a whole new dynamic. at the same time, it is impossible for mike pence to win the nomination without winning over some of the presidents former president donald trump s supporters, the maga base, and everything i have been told from people on the ground and from what i have seen is that they really do not like mike pence right now, and any sort
pass. what are you watching for not just in trump but in the country if he announces another bid to run for office again? well, i m watching for the reaction of the republican party to this, nicole. donald trump left office on january 20th of 2021 a pariah. he left in disgrace. he would face his second impeachment trial. seven republican senators vote to convict him. but even those who didn t talk about him as a, you know, somebody that was a danger to the country, but the calculation seemed to be, well, he is gone now. why impeach an ex-president? we don t have to worry about him any more. now to see him apparently launching yet another presidential campaign and it being taken seriously by positions in by people in positions of authority, i mean, you elise stefanik come out
going to the mountains and and starting a, i guess, civil war 2.0 if the usurper took office on january 20th. and this is a rare charge, speaking of civil war. it comes from the civil war. that is when seditious conspiracy charge dates from, originally. and the last time it was filed was against members of a michigan militia. that was in 2010. now, they were eventually acquitted. but it was a militia. you know, sort of a domestic-terror type situation. similar to this, in that in that narrow regard. does that concern you? th their acquittal? no, i mean, i think that january 6th is a a by the way, thank you for having me um, january 6th is an event like no other in our lifetimes. this is a very serious statute intended probably as much as anything to prevent things from happening that most people would would think probably never would happen. and then we have january 6th
