let's talk about mike pence's role on that january 6 and the former president's view of mike pence since then. where in your estimation is his relationship with the former president? >> at this point i would say in the nonexistence. the former president became convinced that mike pence had the power to reverse the electoral vote. and he would in fact use that power on the president's behalf. and essentially install the president for a second term on january 20. this was absurd and preposterous. mike pence had told him again and again and again this could not happen would not happen. but the president continue to believe that. when it did not happen when mike pence did not he regarded this as a profound betrayal. although there has been some minor effort to put a better face on this unknown the president continues to be deeply resentful for the vice president. >> of course the attack on the u.s. capitol led to the second impeachment of donald trump and the legal effort in the book. you say trump was ranting to his legal team that he did not want the trial going down this way. technicaliti

in fact vice president mike pence would be held in a secure location underground at the capital. it felt like those on the phone with the pentagon and on the phone with congressional leaders and urging that swift response and acting as the commander-in-chief and that is because according to the reporting he was back at the white house and the private dining room watching it all unfold on television but not actually doing his duty as the president and as the commander-in-chief to respond in any way in the hours you have a president completely missing and the vice president filling in the gap and the pentagon's senior leader chris miller the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and others were responding and taking orders and in close contact with speaker pelosi and senator schumer, mitch mcconnell and other congressional leaders to sort of strategize and understand what was happening and they didn't really care what he had to say because the resident said nothing. >> what you just said, let's not just let it pass by. that's an extraordinary statement from the acting defense secre

>> immigrants game of things, at this point, mike pence's opinion is about as useful as an ashtray on motorcycle. i don't understand that he -- i mean this is a position that the administration came up with. this administration came -- and joe biden followed through on it. we can debate the wisdom of joe biden following through on it, and i do think that we should give joe biden a little bit of credit with the thoughtfulness and the planning are not going at it unilaterally as we thought he probably did when he decided at the beginning. but at the end of the day, this is trump pence policy. if they were still in office, they would be defending it to the fullest. whatever he has to say, who really cares. mitch mcconnell's opinion actually matters because he is the senate leader. at the end of the day, i just find it so ironic and so mesmerizing that this is the precise opinion that they would be defending if they were still in office. >> susan, what about this reporting from the hill that republicans see this crisis as a recruitment tool for future candidates. does that assume that mid

they don't have a mike pence in case something goes bad. >> i don't see that happening. the best case scenario for joe, no mortarrer attacks. he gets everyone out. he stages daring rescue missions to bring back stranded americans. we would appreciate that. worst case scenario another casualty sustained at the airport. stranded americans that do phoners on cable tv throughout the fall. civil war as we saw, the a stros and thengod forbid an asylum ser blows something up in the homeland that. is all possible. biden will go back to covid, hit desantos and get infrastructure done and try to turn the page here. >> the other thing is hostages. that worries me because richard, what would you -- if you were in the white house what would you suggest as advice to president bide stphepb. >> i think the more information you give the american people the better. i had a conversation with producers. all you see is briefings. this is the right thing. he mangled getting us out. now we need reassurance. the briefings. you see the president every day or every other day briefing the american

mike pence, he was right from the start. his role was don't be around women who ain't your wife.g. i'm in this with cat, you also want to date or be with a guy who hangs out with a lot of women because he will get better gifts. if you date a guy who's hanging around a bunch of dudes, you're going to get a full make him a flammable bathrobe that he bought off, a folding table from some dude outside of bonanza. they don't have time to go to the store, they've got to go from bonanza to the club, you're going to get some nylon backpacks and by the way with dudes hanging out with other dudes, their friends will encourage you to get fat, like that in visceral fat, hard to hard guts because they want you to look like them. you hang out with women, they will be the first to tell you, you have to do some sit-ups and to stop eating all those doughnuts. because no one is going to want to hit you. >> greg: i think i learned almost nothing. that was very interesting, i can't wait for this next segment. it's brand-new. coming up, jokes that were overlooked but never overcooked. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> greg

hang mike pence, those kinds of things were being yelled. back inside the chamber, the people up in the gallery were very concerned and upset. i think one of my colleagues was either passing out or having a panic attack so we were very concerned about her. then eventually somebody just said, we are going to get everybody out, and everybody began to move toward the rostrum and beyond. there had been shot, you could hear a shot, but nobody quite knew what it was. and we were shepherded through the stairs in the hall way out. i was just trying to figure out whether to go and get hank and tabatha and julie or not. i basically spent the next hour just on the phone just begging and beseeching the speakers staff, which was excellent, and the capitol police, to get them out, and they ended up getting them out, so that was a very happy, tearful reunion. then of course there was a new problem which was the huge throng of people who were all packed into one of the committee rooms, i don't know which one it was, but -- greta: can you share with us, cong

he is a former national advisor to former vice president mike pence on isis k and what he thinks theywatch this. >> you know the isis k and the taliban don't like each other at all, but the fact of the matter is both of them don't like us. so you know commit is like a combined effort either the left hand on the right hand. so i don't trust either group. the only people i trust are the great american men and women we have on the line there car is a international airport. >> trace: the big take away i don't trust either one of those groups and they don't like us, can you expand on that if you will? >> absolutely the general is correct, right and the jihadi group has the ideology to eliminate their enemy no matter what and against any stipulation of international law on basically anti-american appeared to he is right in saying that both the taliban and al qaeda as an ally with taliban and of course, isis k, which means are all our enemies. they have differences amongst themselves as terms of strategies. sometimes they confront each other but at the end of the day the goal is not just to

. >> and mike pence. >> nicole, i don't want to break the flow here, but there's a unique side-by-sidescreen right now. ranking member mccaskill is someone who -- she's a democrat, i'm a republican. i so admired what she was trying to do on domestic terrorism and within the trump administration was trying to put in place the programs to go after domestic terrorist and guess who thwarted senator mccaskill and trump's own staff? trump himself. he didn't want anything done on domestic terrorism because he saw these people as his political constituency. he saw domestic terrorists as voters and that crass behavior. >> just to close a lid, let me sneak in a break and we'll show everyone the new ad from your group. the circle is complete. he incited violence. he then met with the mother of a domestic terrorist today. so it sort of explains why all your efforts were thwarted and yours as well, claire. we'll come back with a new ad focused on all these issues, extremeism in the gop. focused on all these issues, extremeism in the gop. if you're 55 and up, t- mobile has plans built just for you.

there were threats of death, chants of hanging mike pence, officer screaming for their lives, and asdescribes, literally having a heart attack, having the wherewithal to call out to the people around him, please don't take my gun, don't hurt me, i have children. donald trump was in room watching television while that was happening. juan: and phil rucker, the first section of your book deals with president trump's response to the clearest crisis of his presidency, the covid pandemic command he told you he thinks they did a great job on covid and it has not been recognized. can you talk about his paranoia on the drug manufacturers tried to delay the covid vaccine to hurt his election chances? philip: sure. trump seemed to think that all of his enemies, his perceived enemies were out to get him during the covid pandemic, in part because he saw the pandemic through the prism of his reelection chances. he thought he was on a glide path to winning a second term before covid arrived and that covid spoiled his chances of winning the election last november. he had particular disdain for pharm

ground in afghanistan for 13 months in kabul, i want to ask you about what former vice president mike pencewhen mr. biden became president, he quickly announced that u.s. forces would remain in afghanistan for an additional four months without a clear reason for doing so. there was no plan to transport the billions of dollars worth of american equipment or facilitate the regional resettlement of the thousands of afghan refugees who will now be seeking asylum in the u.s. with little or no vetting. do you think those four months were squandered? he said there was little to no vetting. haven't we vetted them for the last 20 years? they were our help ers. don't we know their histories? >> i was mystified on what seems to me how slow and frankly bureaucratic the process was, the tremors, the chatter out in the provinces. people were concerned. nobody imagined the speed and the ferocity of the movement in the last few weeks. i think that,ing yes, i think a lot of time was lost. i think we got all wrapped in part with our own processes, you know, the complex visa and everything else. again, i thin

but that opportunity was lost but then the mike pence off and and then the denial really set in of maynd june and then they unraveled from there. host: following up on that, there were several inflection points during the year. the administration almost made one decision but then do something else. and then theet president got sick himself, final confrontation walk us through the inflection points. >> the first two months just to figuring out. the nightmare scenario always came from doctor fauci describing what kind of virus this was. it was a a nightmare scenario, it is respiratory which made it harder to treat and what to do. but it was a nightmare in every way. january and february were the b best opportunities to get testing in place to make sure there was adequate contact tracing. it was spread in people with dynamite was in charge. and then to have devastating outbreaks in the way that we did it was a huge missed opportunity and then we look and look at the ppe test and not going to other companies and then there was a proposal that they are manufacturing masks to send to every h

inviting them to commit an attack that we know now could have ended with an assassination of mike penceis that could have lasted for weeks or they may have burned those ballots in those mahogany boxes. >> all important. i mentioned in the broadcast the law professor had this piece. i want to read the headline. trump planning a respectable coup next time. the potential coup next time will come in neatly filed neatl briefs and arguments. it will be no less pernicious. the theory here being that an unpunished thwarted coup becomes a training exercise, which many have said, and that they can play with this idea of the state legislatures just overruling any state where they're in control, republicans, that might have gone blue. >> ari, we are living right now hour by hour through a rolling coup d'etat against the voting system and the election system that is so sacred to our democracy that was given us by the founders and those who supported them. an effort to give secretaries of state in various cases, partisan legislatures the ability to say the democrat didn't win the election in this sta
