the lies. if you ask how many republican congressmen believe trump was re-elected i d say maybe a couple but 60% of our base does. conspiracy theories. that could have been mickey mouse. i m watching this is the craziest thing i ve ever seen, and then people just 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 the memo. just breathtaking that 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. stop the steal! and it all might have worked if not for a few people in key places. notably among t
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 reelected. eastman has since publicly tried to downplay his memo and his role in attempting a coup, but he told a very different story in recent undercover video from a progressive activist. so giuliani and me met with 300 legislators on january 2nd via a zoom conference call. and they all spinelessly wouldn t do anything. and in appearances in past right wing media. are we to assume that this is going to be a climactic battle that will take place this week? it depends on the spine of the individuals involved.
let s talk about the john eastman memo. what was your reaction when you first heard about it? just breathtaking that you would have laid out such a clear game plan that so clearly 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 reelected. eastman has since tried to publicly tried to downplay his memo and his role in attempting a coup, but he told a very different story in recent undercover video from a progressive activist. so giuliani and me met with 300 legislators on january 2nd via a zoom conference call. and they all spinelessly wouldn t do anything.
legislators on january 2nd, via zoom conference call. and they all spinelessly wouldn t do anything. even though we ve given them all the evidence, they wouldn t do it. i very much wish it were otherwise. but these guys are spineless. now, now, if we take a bunch of them outen the primaries in 2022, and the precondition for getting elected is we re going to fight this stuff, then maybe we have an opportunity. joining us is the other of 16 books, professors of socialology and communications and also the author of defending democracy together. we just heard it saying a precondition of getting elected as a republican now will be to do things like he was trying to do and fight democracy.
association, fbi plans. these it was a setup and unfortunately, our guys walked into the trap. so he would have gone down there if it hadn t been for the violence? yeah. our guys. now in a portion of that video just released minutes ago, eastman attacks the state election officials who upheld the integrity of the vote in 2020. he ominously says they should be taken out by primary challengers who embrace the big lie and they suggest that the big lie should be the platform for republican candidates in 2022 and in 2024. if becould have got the decertification, we d have georgia, wisconsin, pennsylvania, arizona back in january. i met i saw giuliani and me met with 300 legislators on january 2nd via zoom conference call and they all spinelessly wouldn t do anything.
