this election was stolen from you, from me, and from the country. if you ask how many republican congressmen believe donald trump was reelected, i d say maybe a couple but 60% of our base does. conspiracy theories. that could have been mickey mouse. watching. this is the craziest thing i ve ever seen and people bought it. lawsuits. they tried to not have your votes counted. they did not want your vote to count. potentially illegal pressure campaigns. i just want to find 11,780 votes. what he was asking for wasn t supported by the facts, wasn t supported by the constitution. extraordinary scheming. let s talk about it. just breathtaking you would have laid out such a clear game plan that so clearly violated the constitution. and all too many in the republican party. do you believe this was a free and fair election? and maga media who followed along. unverifiable dumps of votes. we will never give up. we will never concede. stop the steal!
he said if you d have done what needed to be done, if you d been transparent, you would have had a debate, if you d gone forward the way we asked you to go it wouldn t be happening to you right now. the conversation you had with your wife, you d been off to war before having conversations with loved ones. was it like that? this was different, you know. i never really had a sense i might not survive this. there was a real sense that if they re in the capitol complex and they ve already overrun two or three lines of police barricades there is nothing to stop them from the rest of the complex. yeah, it was an emotional conversation. it was nothing i ve ever had before. i hope to never have to have that conversation again. we have two young kids, and i didn t want to alarm my wife. at the time it felt like anything was possible because you re seeing the bomb threats.
nominee for governor, doug mastriano who was protesting outside the capitol on january 6th. as governor i get to decertify any and all machines in the state. and obviously i have my eye on several counties who have machines i believe are part compromised. six of the house ten republicans are facing primary challenges this year in states endorsed by trump or energized by him. one has already lost, another appears to eke out a victory. these four face races this summer including liz cheney. donald trump is vocally supporting your defeat. are you worried? no. i intend to win. you could lose. i mean, you re saying you won t but anything s possible. if you lose your career because of this position you re taking will it have been worth it? well, i will no matter what happens never stop fighting for
it s going to be quite extraordinarily different. you have made this happen, and tomorrow it s game day, so strap in. let s get ready. everything points to bannon was very closely associated with anything the campaign was doing. i think an overwhelming majority of that crowd was there to try to overturn democracy at that point or the democratic process. i knew that i was kind of the face of so-called the deep state and the republican party, so i didn t want to be out in public too much, so i never bring my gun into the capitol complex. i prbrought it that day. i was sort of nervous for the morning. i was sort of curious to see what the rally was. i was hoping not to hear some of the speeches i ultimately heard, some of the more inflammatory ones. speakers at the rally included john eastman, the author of that memo detailing how pence could violate the constitution and keep trump in
violated the constitution. the eastman memo detailed a six-step plan for pence to throw the election to trump during the january 6th certification. it also called for pence to throw out all electors from seven states and gavel president trump as re-elected. eastman has since tried to publicly down-play his memo and his role in attempting a coup, but he told a very different story in undercover video from a progressive activist. met with 300 legislators on january 2nd via a zoom conference call, and they all spinelessly didn t do anything. and any appearances in right-wing media. are we to assume this is going to be a climatic battle going to take place this week? i think a lot of that depends on the courage and the spine of those involved. that would be a nice way to
