corrupt intent to obstruct the certification of joe biden s election win. and the underlying basis of that, of the lie that there was fraud in the 2020 election, they all knew that there wasn t fraud, and they admitted to that, and then they embarked on this campaign to have pence throw out the election. they also knew that that was unlawful and unconstitutional, and they-limited it. so in emails, in conversation with the president, and yet as they said as you said they went ahead with it anyway. so the committee has been doing a very good job i think, of laying out a case of how everyone involved knew that the return of trump to the oval office was unlawful. yes, so let s take another look at how mike pence characterize these claims to eastman. and this is according to pence s lawyer greg jacob. here it is. and what was vice president pence s reaction when you showed him the email where doctor eastman, after the attack on the capital, still affects that the vice president delay ce
white house counsel knew it was nonsense. but the only reason that he had access to the president was because trump wanted him there. and then that puts trump in the circle of this conspiracy, and i think that is very significant as a legal point. what do you expect for the hearings this week? well, if the passes than any indication of what is to come, there is going to be some more bombshells in the coming hearings. the one that i am really focused on, alex, is the one of the 27th. when jamie raskin is gonna talk about the militia groups in the proud boys. i think that is very significant. because this committee, from the very start, has been trying to connect a political plan. eastman s political plan, to return trump to office with the actual violence. and the more that we look at the proud boys, and the more we look at these earth keepers, and the militia groups, the more it seems like their assault was coordinated. and i think that the nexus of this was where the heart of janu
welcome back to the committee. here are the oil companies and let s talk about them about how they are pushing back to the letter president biden sent to ceos to combat rising prices. chevron an says that the administration should do more to address oil prices. the president will invoke emergency powers or can he? will either party to anything about? this oil companies are just false. biden is right. they have many leases. the record profits that they are making they are sending to wall street. they are not investing in increasing supply. they are sending profits to wall street. they are profiting in enormous ways at the expense of the american consumer. that is why many of us are calling for a profit stag. we want them to be taxed on those extraordinary profits. we want to put money back in the pockets of consumers.
