i never forgot it, mike pence said to al gore. you do not know how much that means, al gore said, coming from you. guest: it is terrific. thank you for sharing that with me. it speaks to a real truth about congress, which is that you do have these moments where members all the time rise above naked partisan self-interest and just play by the rules or do the right thing and when they do that you hope it rubs off on some other members. and that everybody can lift their game. there is nothing wrong with competing fiercely and disagreeing and debating, but the rules are the rules. for this representative government scheme to work, we all have to be willing to play by the rules. host: about 20 minutes left with kevin kosar this morning. this is ray in syracuse, republican. caller: a previous caller brought up what he thought the solution should be part of the solution on this january 6 issue , that the democrats should present the facts in front of congress and my first thought is they will never do that. the reason is because that wou

and mike pence did. and i think that's a reminder of something that is going to be really important for all of us to keep in mind and to hope for and work for as much as we can over the next four years, which is it's not that institutions guard democracy, it's that the people in charge of those institutions are the ones who guard democracy. it's not the senate. it's senators. it's not the courts. it's judges of particular courts. and so, as so many of us head into a 48-month period here where the result was not what we had hoped for, i think it's important to bear in mind that it worked today, but the weight of it working today was on a party of which i'm not a member. i'm not a democrat. but the democratic party did not try to undo an election in using violent means, and so it's not as reassuring as it could be. but it's a step in the right direction. >> so can we talk about not just having principles but being willing to demonstrate principles. you mentioned mike pence. al gore, much closer election. 3

trump's followers chanted hang mike pence as they attacked the capitol on january 6th. that was when pence was there for the certification of the election, and had to be rushed out by the secret service because of that scene that you see there. my source tonight is maggie haberman. she was the first to break this reporting and is a senior political correspondent for the new york times. maggie, just on the idea that pence would be there. i mean, it is such a far cry from thinking about that a four years ago of him being here when he attended biden's inauguration and trump did not, or even just eight years ago. seeing that moment and seeing what that dynamic could look like now. >> look, it's definitely notable, caitlyn. and as you note, he's planning to attend. he's traveling overseas right now. we will see what ends up happening. it's also notable that the inauguration is now. the swearing in is now being moved inside the rotunda. and so i don't know what the seating configuration is going to be like. it holds far fewer people than we expected outside it. there's going t

mike pence, mike pence. mike pence. >> there was once a creature in the forest named mike pence.-- until they tried to hang him. >> it is stunning. >> it is stunning. it is. how quickly people fell from -- for the lie. i look at that elise stafanik live and i'm thinking to myself, you are such a submissive. you are so desperate to be in the room, to be in the game. you will capitulate and you will change your view, you know? there's so many republicans like that. the other aspect that i thought was fascinating and raised a question for me was you look at it from the political side and with john bolton and what he wrote. it also applies to the judicial side, to the same idea of loyalty and fealty. we watched three supreme court nominees go before hearings and tell us and lie to us about what they would and would not do, right? they have now shown that fealty, that divisiveness, by giving trump all of the power you will ever need, more power than any president in the country's history has ever had. now, they are vested in him because all he has to do, nicole, is to think about some

, when mike pence. there he is. there he is talking to al gore. i'm sorry. oh, and dan quayle. i mean, that's the vice presidents, vice presidents club, three of them together. we learned that mike pence, on that fateful day, that horrible day, said he was going. he decided to buck donald trump and not overturn the will of the people, in part because he remembered being a young member of congress. hunter biden and seeing al gore doing it. and there's hunter biden, a new grandfather. his grandson was born yesterday in l.a. amid all of the fires going on there. there you see, marilyn quayle, the former second lady, in addition to dan quayle, at moments like this, number one, you see all the dignitaries paying due respect to former president carter. >> you try to trace arcs of history, like what is happening today that you can trace back to those days, and you can look in our american politics, you can certainly look in the middle east and find the arc of history that things that began or at least gained f

hang mike pence. hang mike pence. hang mike pence. >> this is january 6th. from that date forward, and pretending that this is no longer what today means is to put it lightly an insult to every cop that was injured that day, every terrified congressional staffer and member, every capitol worker who had to clean up the feces the trump mob smeared on the wall, and to every decent notion anyone ever had about this country. it's also a lie. it's a lie most republicans and even some in the media want to tell you because it makes republicans feel better, and apparently making republicans feel better is really important. because while there elected officials hid in terror, with every single democrat, the party itself very quickly changed their mind, led by trump and their favorite billionaire news channel, rupert murdoch's fox. they created a new big lie that january 6th was just a normal tourist occasion and really not that big of a deal. will you know what, sorry, but it was a big deal. it was an insurrection, the first violent sacking of our capitol since the wa

we believe that president-elect trump and his former vice president mike pence actually haven't evene in 2021. so they're coming face to face for the first time in four years there in the cathedral today. the dean of the washington national cathedral spoke to reporters yesterday. he said he had the opportunity to meet late president carter when he was a teenager. he said that carter was famously punctual, which is something that can't be said about all presidents. so they are going to try to honor his punctuality today by keeping the service to time, which they say is something that carter would have wanted. so we anticipate that, if everything goes as planned, the service will last about an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half. >> thank you. yes. the dean of the cathedral saying you're watching history unfold when you come to these funerals. it's not only an opportunity for people to remember a president, but also to watch the people that are honoring him that have gathered here for that very moment. douglas, you knew the former president so well. people like to hear these anec

you can hear them chanting hang mike pence. it's crazy to me that the effort to rewrite the history of january 6 has been as successful as it has been when you have so much video of exactly what happened that day for anybody who wants to see it to see. >> let's move forward. susan, what comes next? what are you expecting when donald trump's more controversial administration picks have the confirmation hearings? >> yeah, this is the first really big test where we will stop speculating and start to understand about the concrete nature of trump 2.0 and one of the big questions is to what extent, if at all, will republicans in the senate, he can only afford to lose three votes in any one of these controversial cabinet nominations he has put forward, with senate republicans book him in any serious way or not. i think and you look at the upcoming confirmation hearings for pete hegseth, his fox news host nominee to be the secretary of defense. facing allegations of sexual misconduct and questions around his previous experience or lack

and mike pence and mike pence. mike pence, those efforts culminating on january 6th, 2021, after trump addressed a crowd of his supporters before many of them marched on the capitol to disrupt the transfer of power. smith recounts several events from that day, including when trump sat back at the white house watching rioters attack the capitol while sitting in the oval office dining room. while there alone, he sent off a tweet. rioters then read it out loud in almost real time, with a bullhorn. mike pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. >> usa demands the truth. >> in the conclusion of that report, jack smith writes that he believes the facts and law supported his team's findings against trump, but only the 2024 election derailed the prosecution. smith writes this quote indeed, but for mr. trump's election

i never forgot it, mike pence said to al gore in the recollection. u do not know how much that means to me, al gore said, coming from you. what pence did and did not do four years back underscores the high peril of what is often considered all but a formality, certification of the electoral college vote. more from michael cruz in politico magazine, if you want to read that. andre in ohio, republican. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. thank you for taking my call. quite a timely subject, this one. i am a fairly frequent caller. i am a registered republican. i have not voted for the president-elect in his two attempts. and i am one of the, i guess, few people watching c-span that watched this whole thing come about. and it is unbelievable that there are -- the only kind word would be seedlings that either never witnessed what happened or are so deep into what is essentially fascist ideology to invent all these stories about green being yellow. of course, we're watching it right now. on your screen, or at least i am, what went dow

we all remember the rioters chanting "hang mike pence." he spoke publicly and praised vice president kamala harris, calling it particularly admirable she presided over the certification of an election that she lost. what do you make of that? >> it was consistent with what he did four years ago. he stood up to donald trump. donald trump put tremendous pressure on mike pence to go beyond his constitutional duties and overturn the results of the election, do something he had no power to do, send results back to the states or throw them out completely, to have a new election or install donald trump as president. he saw in kamala harris what he had done four years ago. it isn't something extraordinary, isn't something that should be an act of heroics or something, this is just what you're supposed to do in office. i would say one thing about rewriting of history that's so crazy is this was all on video. you can see the rioters beat the police and drag people down the steps and use the american flag to assault people. you can hear them chant "ha

he has mike pence so he must be a social conservative, let's get him to do that.has a business background, he must be a mitt that kind of stuff. there weren't really republicans who came from a background of running on, being elected on, promoting the populist right >> agenda the donald trump won on so it was shot in 2016 and there wasn't the outside infrastructure and washington to support it. the think tanks, the lobbying shops, much washington people who make an administration run. this time in the second trump administration all of that exist now. in the four years since trump was in office, the people who were withh him last time took those jobs, created those think tanks and so you had sort of incubators for talent for those lower level positions there's a lot of attention that gets paid to the cabinet nominees. those are really important but arguably some of the more important decisions are the under secretary roles deputy under secretary of whatever role, whoever has that actually has a lot of power over the day-to-day stuff that the administration is doin

there is vice president mike pence and vice president al gore.interesting moment that pence told gore that when he decided to follow the constitution and preside over the awarding of the electoral votes to joe biden back in january 2021, it was al gore who he took some inspiration from. al gore, who presided over the counting of the electoral votes in his own defeat. despite many members of the house objecting, and gore said to him, that means more to me than you can know. and anita mcbride, one of the things that's so remarkable about this is the presence of first families. and you told me just a minute ago that there are individuals there dating back to the family of president franklin roosevelt. right. >> exactly. one of the granddaughters of franklin roosevelt, along with representatives of every presidential family from that point forward, are together in that moment of national significance. but they were also together this morning at the white house. and the bidens had invited the carter family and presidential families to be together befo

, from doing in 2021, and those -- that violent mob that you referred to threatened to hang mike pencee walking through the capitol, you know, and trying to disrupt that peaceful transfer of power and that certification process. you know, four years ago on january 6th, it's also important to note that vice president harris as a senator and then the vice president-elect was literally inside the democratic national committee headquarters when thpebomb was discovered near a park, which i know you'll remember that. she had to be evacuated. so the stakes of this moment are literal for her. they're real for her, and some folks will be in that building today. >> for so many of the folks who are going to be in that building today, errin, because for someone who's been on the hill, the 6th is such a seminole moment, and it's big for everything that happens in the ways the parties interact with each other now, but i think if you had asked most people, republicans or democrats on january 7, 2021, if they would ever see donald trump inaugurated once again to the white house, they would have said a

we see president-elect donald trump about to take his seat, greeting mike pence.r thoughts. >> that's quite a moment, isn't it? as you know those two men have not been close since the trump presidency. i believe this is the first time they've met and spoken since january 6th, 2021, which was a day we all remember. you know, this is -- it's interesting because today it looks remarkable to see of these republicans and democrats, former presidents, former vice presidents who have such differences. to see them altogether. that seems remarkable. i think back to when jimmy carter was in office, which was a long time ago, it was almost 50 years ago. it would not have been remarkable then. >> i'm going to point out president obama, vice president al gore, dan quayle. >> yeah, and, lester, it would not have been remarkable to see this during the carter years. you know, nostalgia is -- you know, we have to look to the future. we have to look to the present. but there are things that we have lost from the past and one of them is this -- we have become so polarized, our polit

interestingly, two people whom mike pence consulted ahead of january 6th. i mean, the ties to all the people in attendance today, just just over the last four years is so interesting to me. i mean, quayle and pence ended up on the other side of trump because of their adherence to the constitution. that document trump promises to blow up if the reporting holds in his executive orders to end birthright citizenship. i mean, i think one of the great sort of measures and yardsticks we can turn to is trump today versus trump eight years ago. oh, interesting. just in terms again of the visuals here to see the cabinet nominees and trump appointees come in sort of formally with tulsi gabbard and vivek ramaswamy at the rear of that procession, it should be noted that vivek ramaswamy is not going to have any sort of government job. he was going to be involved with doge. he is now not going to be involved with doge. there's former vice president mike pence. has to be a harrowing day for him, but he made the decision to be there solo, walking in alone. yeah. his wife at

transfer of powerio frm seriously injured more than 140 heroic police officers, threatened to hang mike pence, a down members of congress is the height of irresponsibility. >> think it's her. yesterday speaker johnson sitting reconciliation package specifically they can avoid having to negotiate with democrats. i wonder what you think of that. are there any bills that democrats may not be able to support because of that? >> the republican party wants to cut social security, medicare, medicaid, veterans benefits, and nutritional assistance from the children ande families in this country. house democrats will not support those reckless cuts because our focus should be lowering the high cost of living for everyday americans and working-class folks all across this land. and not facilitating the gop tax scam part two. which is designed simply to enact massive tax breaks billing and wealthy corporations and not help those americans who are really inne need. >> leader jeffries, thank you. you mentioned house democrats stand ready to help those in california. what that assistance look like? how quick

that's ÷÷essentially what played out yesterday, and what is remarkable, there's reporting that mike penceunce to the world that the man he ran against and contested in the supreme court was ultimately the winner of this contest. >> that election of course, being decided by hundreds of votes in one state. there has been this sort of rewriting or attempted rewriting of history. >> yeah. >> by president- elect donald trump. here was marjorie taylor greene, a trump ally, on monday. watch. >> it's absurd. january 6th was not an ÷÷insurrection. i'm completely sick and tired and fed up of the democrats' narrative, the media narrative, and it's a total lie.÷÷today is a great day. >> and that of course, something÷÷that, you know, clearly there are a lot of voters out there who didn't think that what happened on january 6th was disqualifying enough not to vote for donald trump. >> that's the extraordinary thing. you talk to democrats and ones i spoke to yesterday are really concerned about the idea of whitewashing this event into basically to oblivion that you look at it as marjorie tame ylor green

former chief of staff to mike pence.nks for being here. >> good to see you. >> every report i read when it comes to the panama canal and greenland and canada, it is actual demands and a point to get leverage and trolling. what does that say about the president-elect's upcoming administration before he is in office, he is making demands and maybe just trolling? >> frank, he enjoying the trolling and bringing attention back to him. i don't think it is an accident that the focus on panama was the same week of the passing of jimmy carter and his state funeral because, obviously, that was a big part of the carter administration giving away the panama canal. i think there is heightened concern about china and i remember in 2019 the president sent vice president pence up to iceland for an arctic summit to talk to some of our allies up there about the concerns we had about china's growing investment and i think that megan's analysis was great about the fact that there has been a continued concern that china is not only investing

citizens using trump flags and american flags beat police officers, chanted they wanted to hang mike pencer kill nancy pelosi and hunt down anyone of us and i remember it was very startling to me as we were taken out somebody hollered take your congressional 10 because they won't care if you are a democrat or a republican because they will hurt or kill anyone of you. to me i'm having a very hard time processing this crowd of what the vice president did. i am proud of her and how difficult it was personally but she didn't reveal that. she had a constitutional duty but still trying to resolve why it is that four years later we do have a former president or about to be president again unwilling to acknowledge the truth of what he incited that day and sadly so many others trying to rewrite the truth. >> to that point, how does it feel when you hear some republicans come out and support pardons for some of the january six rioters? we did hear suggestions that there were grandmothers on an unauthorized tour of the hill and do you think there has been prosecutorial overreach? is there any part of

tambiÉn saludo a mike pence. su esposa, rosalynn carter, que falleciÓ en 2023. ilia: marÍa corina machado fue detenida brevemente tras protestar contra la toma de posesiÓn de nicolÁs maduro. anunciÓ que maÑana va a entregar detalles de su detenciÓn y dijo sentirse orgullosa del pueblo venezolano. aclaro que estÁ en un lugar seguro y seguirÁ su lucha hasta el final. francisco tiene lo Último. francisco: apareciÓ en las calles de caracas a liderar la protesta que habÍa convocado en contra del rÉgimen de nicolÁs maduro. esta vez no pudo evadir a los agentes del rÉgimen, quienes tras una persecuciÓn y disparos lograron interceptar la moto en la que iba. aclaro que estaba a salvo. el vÍdeo lo pÚblico el ministro. fue confirmado por el partido, que afirma que machado fue obligada a grabar vÍdeos antes de ser liberada. >> ese era el plan de ella, decirle al mundo que habÍa sido capturada. francisco: miles de manifestantes protestaban en caracas y las principales ciudades del paÍs. habÍan salido a manifestar en apoyo a g

was more loyal to this president than bill barr, mike pence and nikki haley in the first term? they used to. i'm old enough to remember when they had cabinet meetings where they all stood up and extolled the virtues of donald trump as though, i mean, this is like going back to weirdo caesar times where they're sitting there extolling the virtues of the magnanimous leader, humiliating themselves in the process while doing a lot more of that. i know, but but that's what's so ironic about this. all of a sudden, trump is saying that they're dead to him, and i predict that eventually pam bondi will be dead to him. and i predict eventually, maybe even pete hegseth will be dead to him because there's no amount of loyalty. >> elon musk will be diddy. >> elon musk will be dead before that will be before the end of next week. but, but but the problem with trump and anybody who bends the knee to trump is they have to understand it's a temporary accommodation. so why give up your pride? why give up your position as a co-equal branch of government as mike johnson has to bend the knee to som

and mike pence is former vp. just days before this inauguration was suggesting that it was capitulating to a chinese national security threats. and so in mike pence, what is his political future look like? it's not clear, especially within his republican party. yet at the same time, by coming here today, he respected the norms of the transfer of power and his former boss. and clearly somebody who continues to be involved in conservative politics going forward. >> alicia, what is on our screen is what would have been had this been held outside, probably one of donald trump's favorite aspects of the inauguration. let's listen in for a second. it's a military review. ceremonial piece. >> oh. thank you. >> it's going to be able to play it on the track. >> so that's the delegation there making their way in. as you watch this go on. this is steeped in tradition donald trump's day one actions not so much. >> they are not i mean, let's talk first about these border executive actions. >> what they're actually doing is cut

vice president mike pence, former vice president mike pence arrived a few minutes ago, a short time agowere breached on the morning of the january 6th and we're seeing now former president george w. bush and laura bush arriving here at the law library door from the east front here. this is -- he now is the second in a line of former presidents, if you will, and extraordinary piece of history. george w. bush, bill clinton, and donald trump, all born in the same year, three months apart, in consecutive months, in june, in july and in august of that year. so, george w. bush here, of course, arriving. he's the last republican president to win the popular vote in his re- election bid. we also, of course, know and remember well what he thought about the first inaugural address, the american carnage address. he told several people sitting around him, that was some weird -- the s word. that was some weird stuff we will say. so we will see what his reaction is to the speech this year. but he is one of the presidents who will be here. bill clinton also will be here with hillary clinton. and forme

and just as we commended mike pence for having the courage to stand up to donald trump, it takes -- when people lose, whether you're a child or an adult, it's hard to lose. that's why you don't want to be a loser. and -- >> that's why donald trump couldn't do it because he lost. >> that's why we are here because he couldn't be an adult. he couldn't stand up and say, you know what, the country is bigger than me. the voters decided four years ago. today he still hasn't done it. now you can try and compare 2000 and 2004 and -- but that's not the same. and you can -- i know, i know deep down inside that you also know that what happened on january 6th we have never seen anything like that in our life time. and god hopes we never do. that's not what happened in 2000. >> we can just -- i do want to say, i remember 2000. and i remember al gore going through that process of trying to get a recount. and i remember the supreme court stopping the count. 287 votes down, i think. and i remember al gore doing something extraordinary. he gave a concession speech. it is 100% appropriate to fight as long

even before they took office, jd vance was disagreeing with his bath and you can look at how mike pencenot usually and well with somebody being the number two to trump. i think a lot of americans knowjust because you get a pardon for january six and does not mean a legitimate high ranking company is going to hire these people because they will still have the scarlet letter that will follow them wherever they are as long as you have google you can just search their name and see what happened to them. tail: see what happened to them. talk us through _ see what happened to them. talk us through this _ see what happened to them. talk us through this new phrase. broligarch. attack brokers, many we saw at the inauguration behind donald trump. and yesterday in the white house the oracle ceo, ceo of sam altman, 0penai and other softbank ceos, all they are pledging huge amount of money in the us. this is a era, isn't it? it in the us. this is a era, isn't it? , ., ., ., ., it? it is. you have to wonder what would _ it? it is. you have to wonder what would they _ it? it is. you have to wonder wha

he has mike pence so he must be a social conservative, let's get him to do that. well, he has a business background, he must be a mitt romney chamber of commerce republican, let's get him to do that kind of stuff. there weren't really republicans who came from a background of running on, being elected on, promoting the populist right agenda that donald trump won on. the implementation was scatter shot in 2016 and there wasn't the outside infrastructure in washington to support it, the think tanks, the lobbying shops of washington people who make an administration run. this time in the second trump administration, all 6 that exists now and the four years trump was in office the people who were with him last time took those jobs, created those think tanks and so we had sort of incubators of talent for those lower level positions. there's a lot of attention paid to the cabinet nominees and are important but the other decisions are who gets the undersecretary roles, the deputy of undersecretary whoever role and who has that has the power over the day-to-day stuff the
