  • WHEN HE RULES NEXT WEEK IF ANNA

  • MORGAN ENTERS THE GUILTY PLEA

  • SHE IS EXPECTED TO ENTER.

  • >> A RECOMMENDATION PHO HERFROM

  • HAIRDRESSER.

  • IT WAS AN ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL.

  • I WANT TO BRING IN CHUCK HAGEL.

  • SECRETARY, I REALLY APPRECIATE

  • YOU JOINING ME.

  • AFTER YOU SAW THAT VIDEO, A

  • FORMER POLICE OFFICER CHARGING A

  • CURRENT OFFICER, WAVING A MARINE

  • CORPS FLAG.

  • HOW DO REPUBLICANS CALL

  • THEMSELVES THE PARTY OF LAW AND

  • ORDER AND NOT SUPPORT AN

  • INVESTIGATION?

  • >> WELL, STEPHANIE, IT'S REALLY

  • ASTOUNDING.

  • WHAT WE'VE SEEN, ESPECIALLY THE

  • LAST FOUR YEARS IN THE VIEW OF

  • MANY REPUBLICANS, ESPECIALLY IN

  • CONGRESS, FACTS DON'T MATTER.

  • I GUESS VIDEOS DON'T MATTER.

  • THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS, THE

  • REALITY IS THE REALITY.

  • WHAT WE'VE SEEN HERE IS REALITY.

  • AND WHY THEY ARE SO AFRAID OF

  • THE TRUTH, TO GET TO THE TRUTH,

  • THE WHOLE POINT OF THE JANUARY

  • 6th INDEPENDENT COMMISSION,

  • INDEPENDENT OF CONGRESS WAS TO

  • GET TO THE TRUTH BEHIND ALL

  • THIS.

  • BUT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS,

  • THE WORLD WILL SEE THIS PLAY OUT

  • MORE AND MORE OVER THE NEXT FEW

  • WEEKS AS MORE CASES COME UP FOR

  • TRIAL AND MORE VIDEOS COME OUT.

  • IT'S A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY.

  • >> BUT WHAT IS THEIR STRATEGY

  • HERE?

  • TO CONTINUE TO DOWNPLAY THIS,

  • WE'RE HEARING FROM REPUBLICANS,

  • PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT WING MEDIA,

  • AND TO YOUR POINT, AMERICA HAS

  • SEEN IT, WE WATCHED THE VIDEO.

  • WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?

  • I JUST DON'T GET IT.

  • >> WELL, I DON'T, EITHER, QUITE

  • FRANKLY.

  • I'M A REPUBLICAN.

  • I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS

  • ANYMORE, BUT THE REPUBLICAN

  • PARTY AND ITS LEADERS --

  • >> THEN WHY FIGHT IT?

  • >> THAT'S ANOTHER STORY, BUT I

  • THINK THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND

  • ITS LEADERS HAVE LOST THEIR WAY.

  • YOUR QUESTION REALLY CON FRONTS

  • THAT.

  • WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?

  • WHY ARE THEY ACTING LIKE THIS

  • DIDN'T HAPPEN OR IT WAS JUST

  • ANOTHER REGULAR DAY AT THE

  • CAPITOL OR JUST REGULAR

  • PROTESTING?

  • THIS WAS UNPRECEDENTED, AS WE

  • KNOW.

  • SO WHAT'S BEHIND ALL THIS, I

  • GUESS PRESIDENT TRUMP, I GUESS

  • WHAT HE'S BEEN SAYING FOR A

  • NUMBER OF MONTHS, THAT THE

  • ELECTION WAS FRAUDULENT, SO

  • LET'S TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK AND

  • RERUN THE ELECTION AND ALL THAT

  • GOES WITH THAT, AND ALL THAT HE

  • HAS BEEN SAYING AND HIS

  • FOLLOWERS, I GUESS IT'S TO

  • BOLSTER THAT ARGUMENT.

  • I DON'T KNOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP

  • CONTINUES TO TALK ABOUT THESE

  • THINGS, TO SAY THESE THINGS THAT

  • JUST AREN'T TRUE.

  • AND THEY'RE HURTING THE COUNTRY.

  • YES, THEY'RE HURTING THEIR

  • PARTY, THEY'RE DIVIDING THEIR

  • PARTY, THEY'RE POLARIZING THE

  • COUNTRY IN DANGEROUS WAYS, BUT I

  • GUESS THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT

  • THAT.

  • YOU KNOW, THERE IS ONE THING

  • THAT SHOULD BE THE GUIDING POINT

  • AND THE COMPASS OF THE NORTH

  • STAR FOR EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL.

  • THAT'S AN OATH OF OFFICE YOU

  • TAKE.

  • YOU TAKE AN OATH OF OFFICE TO

  • THE CONSTITUTION.

  • THAT'S NOT TO THE PRESIDENT, NOT

  • TO POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.

  • WEAVER

  • WE'VE LOST THAT IN MANY WAYS.

  • WHAT THE STRATEGY IS, STEPHANIE,

  • I DON'T KNOW.

  • >> I'M REALLY SURPRISED BY

  • POLITICIANS BEING POLITICAL.

  • I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT

  • VETERANS.

  • YOU'RE THE FORMER DEFENSE

  • SECRETARY.

  • YOU YOURSELF ARE A VETERAN.

  • WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE LARGE

  • NUMBER OF ACTIVE OR FORMER

  • POLICE OFFICERS AND MILITARY

  • VETERANS WHO WERE PERSONALLY

  • INVOLVED, WHO WERE

  • INSURRECTIONISTS THEMSELVES, AND

  • THE LIST SEEMS TO KEEP GROWING?

  • >> WELL, IT'S DISGRACEFUL, TO

  • START WITH.

  • THEY VIOLATED EVERY PREMISE AND

  • EVERY COMMITMENT THEY MADE TO

  • THIS COUNTRY --

  • >> WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS?

  • >> -- AND THEIR SERVICE TO THIS

  • COUNTRY.

  • I SUSPECT IT'S BECAUSE -- AND

  • WE'VE SEEN POLLING ON THIS OVER

  • THE LAST FEW YEARS.

  • THEY'VE LOST CONFIDENCE AND

  • TRUST IN OUR INSTITUTIONS AND

  • OUR LEADERS.

  • THEY HAVE FALLEN PREY TO THE

  • CRAZIES WHO ARE OUT THERE

  • SPREADING LIES ABOUT OUR

  • GOVERNMENT, ABOUT OUR COUNTRY,

  • ABOUT OUR LEADERS.

  • I MEAN, PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WHOLE

  • FOUR YEARS IN OFFICE WAS ABOUT

  • THAT, WAS ABOUT MISDIRECTION.

  • I'M GOING TO DRAIN THE SWAMP,

  • I'M GOING TO TEAR DOWN THE

  • PLACE, EVERYBODY IS A LIAR.

  • THE NEWS MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF

  • THE PEOPLE, THE NEWS MEDIA.

  • I SUSPECT THAT THEY HAVE FALLEN

  • VICTIM TO BELIEVING THAT KIND OF

  • THING, AND THEY THINK THAT THIS

  • IS THE WAY TO CHANGE IT, TO

  • RESURRECT WHATEVER THEY

  • BELIEVED.

  • I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

  • THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS, BECAUSE WE

  • ALL SUFFER FROM THAT, BECAUSE IT

  • INFECTS ALL INSTITUTIONS.

  • LLOYD AUSTIN HAS GOT AN ISSUE

  • OVER AT D.O.D. AS HE IS DEALING

  • WITH THIS ISSUE, EXTREMEISMEXTRE

  • EVERY INSTITUTION IN OUR COUNTRY

  • IS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.

  • HOW DEEP IS EXTREMISM IN THE

  • BODY OF AN INSTITUTION?

  • IT'S A SERIOUS CHALLENGE TO THIS

  • COUNTRY.

  • >> IT'S JUST STUNNING BECAUSE

  • YOU WOULD THINK THAT VETERANS,

  • LAW ENFORCEMENT, YOU KNOW, SORT

  • OF THE MOST GROUNDED PEOPLE WE

  • HAVE ARE OUT THERE FOLLOWING A

  • TOTALLY DISTORTED REALITY FROM A

  • FORMER REALITY TV STAR WHO LOST

  • THE PRESIDENCY.

  • I DO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT

  • POLITICS AND MINORITY LEADER

  • MITCH McCONNELL'S STRATEGY.

  • IT SEEMS LIKE HE'S GOING WITH

  • HIS FORMER PLAYBOOK THAT HE USED

  • WHEN OBAMA WAS IN OFFICE, BLOCK,

  • BLOCK, BLOCK.

  • CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW

  • LOCAL POLITICS WORKS, ESPECIALLY AROUND INFRASTRUCTURE?
