we just got word from our folks on the hill, brendan, that three times, speaker johnson was asked todayan break if if i'm wrong here, he was asked about pardons, potential pardons for january 6th rioters and wouldn't answer the question. should he be answering that question, first of all, brendan, but also what are you going to be watching for in terms of decisions that donald trump is going to make. he has certainly indicated he is open to pardons. >> i'm fully expecting him to issue those pardons, and i don't expect a whole lot of resistance. donald trump has completely rewritten the history of that event for a certain segment of the population, and that segment of the population is one that a lot of republican elected officials care about. mike johnson was among the corest of people four years ago saying that everyone there needed to be held accountable. that position has been brushed aside by him and just about everybody else back then. you know, i don't think anybody will say they condone what happened that day, but donald trump has been so relentless in saying that those people we
