trump and mcdaniel issued statements together denying this report. those denials are a lie, and they know the denials are a lie. this account comes from multiple high-level gop sources. here's a quote from one official who directly witnessed the call, and described trump's reaction when mcdaniel told him he would cause republicans to lose forever. quote, he didn't care. it was punishment. you would lose forever. >> in the meantime, you talk about this party he was threatening to leave, start his own party. but 78% of republicans in that recent poll say they want him to run again, and the party he was threatening to leave. >> that's why republicans calculate they absolutely need trump. tonight, kevin mccarthy, the republican leader in the house, is having a big fund-raiser. and the headline speaker is donald trump. >> jon, thank you. >>> state farm is standing by aaron rodgers. the company says it doesn't support his controversial statements about the covid vaccine, but respects everyone's right to make a choice. rodgers confirmed he was not vaccinate

how was it possible, they're odd, nerdy classmate stephen mcdaniel could do something so horrible? a friend of lauren. >> when the district attorney took over it was already a death penalty case, but he wasn't so sure it should be. after all, they had no evidence to prove the cause of death. this was a gruesome crime, yet none of stephen's dna was found in lauren's apartment. aside from the underwear, none of lauren's dna was found in steven's apartment. the circumstantial evidence they did have? a good defense attorney could raise reasonable doubt. perhaps claim stephen had been framed. >> he could reasonably argue that the crime scene, particularly his apartment, wasn't adequately secure -- >> sure. >> and that other people had access -- >> indeed they did. >> and therefore, you can't prove i did it. >> yeah. >> so there was a certain swagger that he and his team had. i think they felt not unreasonably that they could win. >> sure enough, steven's highly regarded attorneys had already accused the state of getting evidence from improper search warrants. >> i think there were eight

you cannot do that, mcdaniel told trump. if you do, we will lose forever. >> exactly.dership told trump and his team in florida that if he left the party, they would take steps that would cost him millions of dollars. they would stop paying his legal fees and take the trump email list, an asset trump makes millions on renting out to candidates and give it to republican candidates for free. by the following week, trump backed down, and decided to stay with the republican party, but only after he saw that leaving could cost him dearly. and george, just a short while ago, the rnc, the chairwoman ronna mcdaniel issued a statement denying this report, but i have to tell you is that denial is a lie. i spoke to multiple people about this including a direct witness to the initial conversation with donald trump and direct witnesses to the subsequent conversations. i want to read you a couple of quotes from those officials. one said that when ronna mcdaniel said that you will destroy the party, they described trump's reaction this way. he didn't care. it was a punishment. he sai

five days after that conversation with with mcdaniel, trump ultimately backed down.nwhile on "the late show" with stephen colbert, jonathan karl discussed foals he saw from january 6th. >> okay. so i found out during the riot mike pence had with him during the entire time a photographer, an official white house photographer. i got ahold of the photographer. i saw all of them. it was wild to see he was in a loading dock in an underground parking garage beneath the capitol, no place to sit, no desk, no chairs, nothing. he was in this concrete like parking garage, and -- you know, with his family. i mean this is the vice president of the united states. and he's like holed up in a basement. and i went to the vice president, the former vice president, and i asked him if i could publish the photographs, and they refused to let me public the photographs on suspicion the january 6th committee is going to want to see those photos. >> thank you so much for being here. let's start with this. the house committee obviously expanding its investigation dramatically. talk to us if y

chairwoman are onna mcdaniel who invested in the hispanic outreach centers in san antonio make a difference. it's how we win elections. we won the election for two reasons. one, americans have had enough of this administration. from the house to the white house. two, people like jamie and frank fonseca who live in inner city san antonio that go out and door knock and help candidates win at all different levels. we need more people, the republican party needs more people like jeannie and frank if we're going to take back the house. now i'd like to it turn it over to my good friend, julia letlow, from louisiana. ms. letlow: thank you. as a single mom of two, a former educator, and a concerned american, education is a topic that's near and dear to my heart. it is no secret that our nation faces tremendous challenges in education, and during the pandemic this last year, many of us joined our children in the virtual classroom and found ourselves concerned with the curriculum we witnessed. the other side's proposed solutions to nationalize the curriculum and push a one-size-fits-all approach to e

think on january 20th, about to get on air force one and leave for the last time, he told ronald mcdanielhen he walked up the steps to air force one for his last flight on the plane to go to florida, he gets into his office at the front of the plane before the plane takes off and mcdaniel was calling him. she wasn't at his farewell ceremony, just to say thank you, good luck, and that's when he dropped this bomb. the way they stopped him from leaving the party is essentially made a series of threats, of warnings, and said if he did it it would cost him tens of millions of dollars. there were legal bills the rnc were paying that would now be his to pay and they would take his big 40 million name email list and they were going to make it worthless, take control and give it out for free so he couldn't rent it anymore. >> stephen: he's a businessman. >> it was going to cost him tens of millions of dollars and he backed down four or five days after january 20th. he told them he was leaving. he wasn't saying i might, he said i'm done, i'm gone, i'm starting my own party, and he backed down. >> s

congratulations, but one of your revelations is that trump told rnc chair ronna mcdaniel he was goingleave the gop. our political director rick klein asked her about that thursday. here's what she said. >> i've never shared my conversations with the president. i'm not about to start doing that now, but i will say one thing that's very true that was said in that statement, which is if he left the party, we would lose. if he left the party, republicans would lose. >> not exactly a denial. >> as a matter of fact, actually that's a confirmation. it was on air force one as he was going to florida, ronna mcdaniel told him that republicans would lose. we would all lose, and all people that you supported would lose, and his answer was, i don't care. his attitude was, if i lost, everybody else around me should lose too. they eventually got trump to back down by threatening steps that would have cost him tens of millions of dollars, and he did back down, and now it's his party. >> and let's talk about trump, and the republicans, averi, and what effect this has. what do republicans do? there's l

trump, on his way out the door in january this year, told the rnc chair, rona mcdaniel, that he was leaving the republican party to create his own party. he didn't care about destroying the gop. and it wasn't until party leaders told him they would stop paying his legal fees that trump backed down from creating his own party. i guess my question is, how can the nrcc just welcome him knowing that his allegiance to the republican party is so fickle and literally comes with strings attached. >> trump didn't invite himself, to my knowledge, to be the dinner speaker for the national republican congressional committee. other people would have been happy to speak and the establishment would have. happy to receive other people than trump. they want trump. this is all a myth that those republicans really want trump far away. a few of them do. youngkin, running for governor, not a federal office in virginia, a blue state that biden won by ten points. the ohio senate candidates, georgia senate candidates don't want trump far away. the mcconnell endorsement of herschel walker and thune, the whole leade
