thank you very much. that s for me. deadline white house starts right now. hi, everyone. it s so nice to be right here back with you. there s a lot of new news and new information to cover here today. i m in because former congresswoman liz cheney has a new book. after the extensive coverage of the work of the january 6th select committee as well as pointed coverage since the very debut of our program about the threat that the republican party poses to american democracy, i have a lot of questions for her. but we start with break news. a remarkable new look the at the case jack myth plans to bring against donald trump in the federal election interference case. that s thanks to a new filing just submitted a couple hours ago. prosecutors say they intend to introduce a sweeping trove of evidence in the case dating from years before the 2020 election. all in order to illustrate donald trump s criminal intent. the government will offer evidence reflecting the historical record
states. this is not a singular voter fraud in one state. this pattern repeats itself in a number of states, almost exactly the same pattern. i think the logical conclusion is this is a common plan, a common scheme that comes right directly from the democrat party and it comes from the candidate. a massive influx of communist money. joining me now is carol lentic, pulitzer prize-winning reporter for the washington post, author of i alone can fix it, donald trump s catastrophic final year. i have to give you credit. the whole clown car thing came from you in a conversation that you and i had the other day. it is remarkable because to a lot of americans they watched rudy giuliani, and jena ellis and it seemed ridiculous and with each passing day we realize how near it was, and the
think about the three things they said. venezuelan voting machines interfered, communist money interfered in our election. rudy said hey, logical conclusion is this election was rigged and it was rigged by the candidate meaning biden. none of that had any basis in fact. absolutely zero, but a lot of americans believed it because it was said on television by a former u.s. attorney who should have been taken seriously, by a woman who was a member of the bar in good standing, and when this starts to be said in state halls, in arizona and michigan and wisconsin, well, buckle up because who knows where the rest of america will be when their belief is kind of shredded, their belief in the elections are shredded. carol, thanks as always for your great work. carol lenig and author of the
national television and they were appalled and furious for rudy giuliani for allowing her to say this. well, here s the problem. the president loved it. that s exactly what the president wanted, and so all of those voices of reason who said that this was insanity were drowned out by a president when was trying for any lever possible to hold on to that power and block biden from his rightful rise to the oval office. carol, you may have heard, i just had a conversation with steve berman and ari benen. in the last senate elections in new jersey the governor, and the republican running for governor didn t win, was relatively close and he eventually came out and said fairly early that hey, i lost the election, let s move on. it wasn t rigged. you said something on washington this week, republican officials on every level of the game from
about that before i get to some specifics about the actual hearings. you know this new book by washington post reporter still rucker and carol lentic said that general mark milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff was worried that after the election then president donald trump would try to use the military to attempt a coup. what is your reaction to that? and should the committee call general milley to testify? i ll leave that to chairman thompson. he said no one s off limits. when i read that that was the concern of military brass, my question is why didn t you do enough to stop it? because for the first time in our country s history, we are not able to say that we had a peaceful transition of power. there was an attempted coup. hundreds of the president s supporters made their way into the capitol. i and others left the floor and stopped counting. a capitol police officer was killed. two others would take their own life days later. hundreds were injured. officers lost fi
