. >> so let's bring in the republican lieutenant governor of georgia, jeff duncan. governor, thank you so much. appreciate you joining us. do you agree with what you just heard from liz cheney that the u.s. is confronting a domestic threat in trump? >> well, it certainly is very serious. and no place better than georgia felt that that weight during the process of the instability and the chaos, the willingness to lie and stir up crowds all in the pursuit of a conspiracy theory. so certainly it is dangerous times. i think the january 6th committee is doing a very good job of allowing the witnesses to drive the process and not the partisanship. so i think there's going to be a continued gain of confidence with more and more witnesses coming forward with more and more information. >> we're learning stunning new details from the select committee about what trump was doing on january 6th. you think this is showing the gop the real donald trump, but do you think that they will ever at this juncture at least what you're hearing now, they'll turn their back on him? >> yeah,

joining me now is georgia lieutenant governor jeff duncan who as is the case with many who have testifiedn these hearings a conservative republican who supported donald trump. lieutenant governor duncan, thank you for joining us. as we mentioned, you're a republican and worked alongside two other republicans who testified, secretary of state brad raffensperger and gabe sterling. i spoke with you before this hearing about what you expected and the hearing has now happened. what stood out to you today from their testimony. >> well, it certainly was refreshing to me and i would imagine tens of millions of other republicans in the country to hear brad raffensperger, gabe sterling and speaker bowers to talk with such clarity and confidence about what they did. i also think a big takeaway was the weight -- it gave america the weight of a president working against you, willing to lie about it, how it feels and how disruptive it is to the process. >> i want to play something from what secretary raffensperger said in his testimony. let's watch. >> mr. secretary, why didn't you just quit and walk a

joining me now the republican lieutenant governor of georgia jeff duncan. good evening. never a dull moment. this is just one development in a complicated case but it seems like trump may be facing more trouble in georgia than anywhere else he is being investigated. how do you see this? >> certainly the chaos continues to follow donald trump. and it should. the chaos and lies he spread certainly didn't do us any justice. it is part of the process, don. moving on from donald trump is part of the process just like we are watching the january 6th hearings. not only are they talking about the awful events that led up to january 6th but now we are seeing a peek behind the curtain of all the advisers talking truth to power during those moments and he completely ignored it. it is part of the process and i think it means we'll get closer to getting a real leader in the republican party to take on a president that not only myself but folks on the left and in the middle see as unfit to take on the job. >> you saw the video of the trump campaign attorney saying he wanted to hear fr

from congressman jeff duncan at 3:04 p.m., potus needs to calm this, you can read it, from former trump3 p.m., potus should go on air and defuse this. extremely important. and from to be cors, please have potus call this off at the capitol. urge rioters to disperse. i pray to you. we also went and reached out, and i spoke to more than a dozen of the people who wrote these text messages. most of them wanted to talk on back ground, because they were concerned about their jobs. they were afraid donald trump might get re-elected. or one just said to me, i don't want to be the target of the misery of this. but what's most notable is, it's hard. it's hard. 17 months later, they all stand by their texts, and each said that they believed if trump had immediately spoken out, he could have stopped the attack. >> which would have saved lives. >> absolutely. so here is one quote, two hours is just inexcusable when the safety of the federal government is in question. you have the duty immediately to speak out and trump was derelict in that duty. that is a meadows associate. second, i think he knew h

jeff duncan says stop the spending, stop the money printing, unleash america from the restraints of big government , rising interest rates the highest since 1994. this administration has lost control of runaway inflation. on the energy sector, the front page of usa today on the letter the administration has written to oil producers, referred to in that tweet, the biden letter urges topsoil companies to cut gas prices. president biden told oil producers to immediately cut costs for americans as gas prices exceed five dollars a gallon in some parts of the country. biden in a letter to the heads of top oil and gas companies say russia's war against ukraine is only partially responsible for their sharp rise in gasoline prices and ask them to work with his administration to increase the supply of gasoline to americans. let's hear from mary in new jersey. caller: good morning. it is so nice to talk to you. i believe in the democrats. they always seem to have to clean up the republicans problems when inflation hits. it is not biden's fault. i appreciate his note to the oil companies and all of

jeff duncan, the lieutenant governor in georgia, is not running for re-election. >> i don't want to havein the primary donald trump has been playing. >> he's written a book about it called gop 2.0. and it's not just elected officials who are stepping out of or being pushed from public view. remember chris stierwalt, the fox political editor who correctly called the state of arizona for biden? he was fired in january 2021. fox blames restructuring. desire walt's boss retired. >> a source at fox news told "the washington post" that i was fired because my ratings weren't as good as don bangino's and that audiences were not responding to me as favorably as they were to dan bongino, which made me laugh because that's not my job. my job is not to tell you what you want to hear. >> bongino is a conservative pundit, not a reporter. on top of all this a number of states are issuing so-called election integritiy laws that tighten access to the ballot to prevent widespread voter fraud, you know, the kind that did not happen. at least 19 states have new laws. >> it's trying to solve a problem that d

this is pushback from the democrat china governor they are, jeff duncan he says "there were those outuestions, i have yet to hear any answer, i have not heard a bad answer, i have not heard any answers to those questions" these questions about the planned feasibility and have you seen plans for this kind of aspects. >> yes thank you jillian for having on thank god for lieutenant governor's out of office. first of all he's a liar. we've met with him many, many times i met with them four times our lobby has met within several times. we have an ironclad battle-tested plan similar to the ones their cities like brookhaven and city springs to put the smack down on the violent crime here. atlanta has become a criminal's paradise and we have a mayor and andre dickens the photo to defund the police so no wonder that police families do not want to come and work for a study that will not back them, love them, pay them, cherish them, and let them do their jobs. that is all we want and buckhead. he is opening up a police precinct today with great fanfare as i am talking to you and we have only thr

. >> joining us now jeff duncan. thank you for joining us.r raffensperger and gabe sperling. they're both conservative republicans. tell us what you know about him in terms of their work, values, character, politics before our viewers hear their testimony today. >> i served with raffensperger in the house. we have two of the most conservative voting records in the house. i saw the press conference sterling had outside the door of my office. we could feel the tension building here. i think what you'll see in their testimony is two folks who showed up to work for nine hard weeks and did the right thing every single moment. >> there is an attempt by trump and his supporters to paint people like you and secretary of state raffensperger and gabe sterling and, indeed, governor kemp, as rinos, republicans in name only. liberals in secret disguise. what do you say to that? >> yeah, i think donald trump is a short-term sugar high on the backside of his career. and i hope he figures out how to play golf in mar-a-lago more often, and we can get back to
