kevin mccarthy went down and kiss his feet and spent the entire year to make it up to donald trump. if they tell the truth, they get in trouble. s they do. they try to ignore it. it s interesting to see these republicans who have been asked in the hallway or elsewhere the fact that donald trump was supposed to have a press conference on january 6th, pleading through the media please do not do this. people who try to ignore questions about trump chose to answer and said stay away, don t do this mr. former president. let s talk about that more. i am going to join this conversation after the other side of the break. how is the former president feels about top tv adviser texting behind his back. we ll talk about that in a moment. that s next. so when she moved in with us, a new kitchen became part of our financial plan.
this is political blood sport. whether he comes around remains to be seen but i think the door is cracked a tiny bit. eli, you and i both covered former president trump, for a long time, his campaign, the time in the white house. he s cancelled his press conference for tomorrow, but what is your sense of how we will hear from him in some form? and what republicans will do with the former president trying to make that day another chance to push forth false accusations of voter fraud? well, i think there s a big sigh of relief from most republicans, especially establishment republicans in washington that president trump is not moving forward with what he was calling a press conference on january 6th, trying to continue to spin his alternate reality about the facts of that day. and about the election, having been stolen which obviously it was not. granted, some republicans and some primaries, senate primaries have been clinging to that big lie. it s becoming more central to, you know,
sergeant goknell, you saw his tweet of the injuries he suffered protecting our lives. he represents one of thousands of capitol police officers who did their duty and stood in the way of violence so that we and staff members can be protected from a violent, medieval mob while the president sat in the office doing nothing for hours upon hours. i m worried for all of us that we make sure we remember, we reflect on what happened that day and that we recommit ourselves to the truth and to democracy. that s what i keep thinking of these days. yes. we know the man who incited that mob, the man who sat in the white house and let them try and overturn the election result. he plans to give a press conference on january 6th to aid
headline, oh, he exaggerated a number. the real number was over that sacred number. you know what that number was, right? i do. and i don t even talk about that. and they don t talk about it. but i ll tell you the crowd itself was the biggest crowd and i ve spoken before the biggest crowds. the biggest crowd i ve ever spoken by far. joining me now is democratic congressman eric swalwell. congressman, let me just get your response to those comments from former president trump. we really didn t hear from him. he didn t have that press conference on january 6th this time around, but he made those comments to one of his propaganda networks. it s just, you can t really describe it in any other word beside sick. donald trump does not attract the biggest crowds, but he incites the biggest crowds. that s what he did on january 6th. today is national law enforcement appreciation day. so, again, thank you to every
listen, it s no surprise that hannity is working hand in glove with this white house. i think in many ways, donald trump himself is a product of fox news and offered instruction from them and you even see more recently, the idea that he was going to have a press conference on january 6th and talk about what happened on january 6th and talk about the folks who are being prosecuted and in court and probably defend them. he has been advised in some ways by the people on fox, this wasn t a good idea. it is not a surprise to see that hannity is one way in private and another way in public to please donald trump. nor is it any surprise he s trying to advise and guide this white house because i think that was his role in many ways throughout the four years that donald trump was in the white house. but it s still just incredible to see the, that fox hosts have to say this is not a
