Regardless of how you feel about Pence's politics, he was an American hero that day. He did what a real American should. He protected our freedoms even if it meant it cost him personally.
Yup, the left recognizes him and what he did. Now, compare that to even a few weeks ago. After Trump was whisked to the hospital, Pence publicly wished him well and complimented him. Trump ignored it. But guess who didn't? The Maga crowd. They flooded his Tweet with the kinds of words I can't repeat on here. They have been non-stop since 2021!!! Imagine that. Imagine the kind of people that see this, and still want to be in Trump's cabinet. They don't see the lasting vitriol as something that could happen to them, they see it as a mass of people to hold power over that is up for grabs. Pure evil.
Yes, he respected your constitution and the rule of law. Ironically he didn't just save America but also all the other democracies around the world. 🇺🇲💙🏴🇬🇧
The fact that we’re knowing all this and these people are all not only still walking around freely, but also wanting to return or remain in high government positions is really mind boggling.
If you notice, certain people of power and wealth can get away with anything. If heads will roll, it will be some hardly known scapegoats- such as a select few involved in the insurrection. Welcome to America.
Well, It’s US oligarchy. The final decision will be done in prosecutorial offices of the justice department. It’s going to be tolerated or prosecuted. The difference between autocracy and democracy.

You do know that they are going to go through the motions of conducting an investigation for OPTICS right.??

There is a storm brewing and the GOP will bring an end to democracy and political norms for good...MARK MY WORDS.
Mike pence is NO hero here …he should have followed through the next day and the days after with the truth and nothing but the truth …he owed that to the American people …he does not deserve to get near a Presidency or any other elected position …ever !
so then if he had left orange jebuz foot soldiers would have check mate pelosi and everyone in there? and when i say check mate i mean killed some of them?
Except for one thing, he lacked the balls to tell Trump that he had lost, instead he hid behind the claim that he was unable to hold up the counting of the votes. He missed the opportunity to join in with and support the reality that Trump lost fair and square.

The evidence was very efficiently destroyed. Did you miss the news about the "MULTIPLE MONTHS -WORTH OF SECRET SERVICE EMAILS AND PHONE RECORDS LEADING UP TO 1/6 THAT (SOMEHOW ACCIDENTALLY)WERE DELETED."
I'm just reading this part of the story here in August 2024. I'm a news junkie and am surprised that I'd never heard this part of the story. Which makes me think it wasn't covered very well at the time (unless this is just coming out after the investigations of the insurrection are over. But this video was from a couple of years back).
@@Anita-gp1gv the football wasn't relevant that day, as it's not active, since POTUS still was in command. That he didn't retreat, thereby effectively shutting down the national government is important for legal reasons. Had he retreated, government would then have been overwhelmed and no longer in charge and Trump could've declared martial law for the entire District. That's established case law going back to Lincoln, who was told by the SCOTUS that as long as the courts were in session, martial law would be unlawful and by extension, the legislative or even executive branch. In that case, Lincoln wanting to declare martial law in a Great Lakes state because of the presence of a POW camp full of Confederate prisoners. I've absolutely no faith that Trump would ever relinquish that power once declared and he'd just find excuse after excuse to retain it and we'd likely still be under martial law under a de facto emperor Trump to this very day.
@@Muzikrazy213Yeah if Pence had thought he'd just be moved off campus to delay the certification, Pence would be Trump's running mate. But Pence knew that Trump wanted him dead, and you don't really come back from that.
As a crazy radical left weirdo… I’m proud of you. The Republican party of yesteryear, which believed in protecting the working class and protecting democracy against insurrection in the civil war, is not the party running for office right now. I’m sorry for what has happened to the party that once stood up for what you believe in, and I’m proud of you for standing up to abusers of power.
Lifelong Republican here. I’m voting straight blue until MAGA is gone. My conscience will not allow me to support this new party. Trump is the tip of the iceberg. These are not conservatives.
No one covered the fact that Charles Grassley REP. Iowa said he was going to oversee election results bc "They" didn't expect Pence to be there. Why? And who are "They"? And why didn't "They" expect Pence to be there? So many questions not asked of Grassley directly on the news.
Theyre only hiding the truth? From the gen public. Everybody else knows. They just dont want the constituents, the *voters, to know.... Vote all previously elected pols out Take back our power. Voting a straight blue or red ticket? Is basically communism. We need this crazy 2 party system to make our system of govt work. Vote em OUT. But pls do vote.
Mmm. There's quite a bit that they're still trying to keep hidden from us mere constituents. Which *if* we get to know it all? Is liable to make some folks want another Jan6, but this next go round? They'd want to be front n center. Americans dont much cotton to traitors and, if they'd figure out what congress had planned for them? Along w bush2 n Cheney family? Would not bode well for congress. And we do have some good ppl in there. I think they're trying real hard right now to use that ol' cloak of invisibility trick ;)
And yet, he is very silent currently. He still holds a ton of info that would help the American people and says nothing to protect our democracy, now, when it is needed most.
As a Republican I've never been able to tolerate Pence, especially once he aligned himself with Trump. I have fully appreciated the magnitude of his refusal to cooperate in a coup against the US govt on Jan 6th. I didn't know until now that he had also refused to leave the building that day. Although I knew why congress refused to leave & I understood why. The man may not be the brightest bulb in the box but his loyalty to his country & our Constitution did not waver in a critical moment in history. He is a Patriot & a Hero.
Thank Ruben Gallego and Dan Quayle: Gallego kept representatives on site and former VP Quayle advised Pence that he had to stay and certify those votes. There was no other option, there was no room for interpretation or differences of opinion. Neither Quayle nor Pence were the brightest or the most clever of men. Pedantic, annoying, dull, misguided zealots, both. Useful tools and idiots sent to Washington by the GOP to put the brakes on and to be the straight men in the comedy routines that were their running mates’ years in office. For presidents too dumb, inexperienced or too power hungry to ably preside over the country if left unwatched and unchecked and without a sideman to run and tell the GOP leaders what their prodigal sons were up to. What they did know well is The Constitution. They knew parliamentary procedure/rules of order for government bodies/meetings. They understood the assignment and handed it in. Pence did the very minimum required of him in his role, that day. He did his job as set out in very clear language in the document that governs us all. No more, no less. And he had to call around and get support and aid and cheerleading from others in his party, to do even that little bit that was required of him. I won’t congratulate him for doing what is expected of him. That’s not heroic. That’s his job. I will not thank him for aligning himself with Trump nor for refusing to speak up afterward. He knew what was coming, he was privy to all or some of the conversations and planning, there is no way he did not know about the slates of fake electors or the Trump call to Georgia when he was “just looking for a few votes”. He was complicit and accepting, in all that Trump and Trump’s minions did. And had the J6 insurrectionists succeeded in gaining entry to that chamber or gotten their hands on Pelusi or AOC, he would have stayed put and gone along with that too.
Do not like Pence at all but, but I agree, he did show leadership and I actually do understand his thinking... Gallegos was so spot on in his thinking as well.. I think it was much more dangerous if they left.. Great thinking in a time of fear..
I don't like VP Pence but I thank him and appreciate the decision he made that day o1/ 06 by choosing country instead of one man looking to destroy it..and if he wrote the book " Am not getting into that car " I'll buy it
@@MrMayberrry Because of his Right Wing Wacko policies while a Indiana Governor. He was about to be kicked out of office in Indiana when tRump “rescued” him.
I'd love to hear exactly what proof there is of trump breaking any law or racism I'm honestly asking how do you believe this stuff I'm open to being convinced otherwise that's if you can keep it civil and actual proof not feelings or emotions or even speculation.
@@Felled-angel proof of breaking the law is difficult when the most damning proof is open to interpretation. and some of the interpreters are the criminals themselves. Trump's traitors knew what he wanted. They were discussing online the violence that would occur on 1./6 . Trump did nothing to cool the crowd he pushed the crowd telling them they should fight and that the government was being taken away from them. he had a war room assembled at a hotel keeping in close contact with the rioters. The most telling thing is trump did not stop the riot the minute he went on TV and told the villains to stop they did but he let the riot go on for 6 hours before telling the people to stop. Also trump through his loyal secretary of defense refused to mobilize the national guard it was not until pence gave the order that any National guard unit responded.
@@Felled-angel you've got to be f****** kidding for one thing pints could not overturn the election he is simply a figurehead in the Constitution gives nobody that power nobody at all he said he would not golf that was a lie he said he would give me Healthcare in his first two weeks that was a f****** life he said he would give us infrastructure that was a f****** lie he said that Mexico pay for the wall that is a f****** lie he said that there were airports in 1776 and that's a lie so do you want me to keep on going you think he's God don't you and you're going to pay for that
I don't know that story, but assuming it's true it makes sense. That was an extreme event and probably triggered some extreme protocols that are best kept secret so that they can be used effectively again.
Trump Administration rotted on all levels available (including using Barr & DOJ for his own personal agenda until Barr's final refusal to not act on Trump's behalf also)
Trump has to have loyalists in the SS. Those 15 boxes of documents didn't carry themselves out of the White House. Fingerprint them and you'll know Trump didn't carry them out either.
All of this apparent SS corruption makes sense when one remembers that 'TFG' is always trying to force everyone in his orbit to be loyal to him ONLY! Frankly he should be locked up!
I have never held Pence in very high regard - but it turns out that his actions of standing up for what was right (according to the Constitution) played a critical role in upholding our Democracy. Regardless of other differences of opinion and political perspective - Thank you Mike Pence.
Agree 100% love him or hate him he will go down in history for being a hero and a man of honor on that day. On the other hand, I believe Trump will go down as the worst president in history.
I was going to voice this exact sentiment. Thank you, Steven. As a liberal in a state adjoining Indiana, I was aware of Mike Pence long before he became VP. He persecuted the LGBTQ community in his state, pushed for religion where it did not belong. Thankfully, when it came to upholding the US Constitution and his oath of office against the bullying of the Trumpists, Mr. Pence deserves full credit for following the law and protecting our democratic form of government.
I see it as putting out a fire you were a huge part of starting. All he did was move to correct his mistake a little. I havent heard him speak out to prevent it from happening again except that one, forgotten time. Mike pence is no hero, and his actions on jan 6th were no where near heroic.
Mike Pence knew that Trump had Ornato in his back pocket. Classic mobster move. Pence should come clean about it, but he won’t cos it will incriminate him as well. I don’t know why they haven’t subpoenaed Pence yet.
I abhor Pence and everything he stands for but on that day, he truly put country before party and even his own safety and I cant help but respect that.
Yes and no… Pence knew he was safer in the Capitol. He knew that he risked being assassinated by Trumpanzees otherwise… SS agents would have put him in his limo and he’d be a goner, they would have never found his body.
The problem is that Pence only made a stand that one time. Trump and his cronies have continued to push the Big Lie, and Pence is saying nothing to counter this. That's because he fears what having to deal with an angry MAGA crowd for the rest of his life would be like. There will be death threats sent to him, and his family. He won't ever be allowed to attend another Republican Party gathering. Pence must know what they were planning to do, meaning that he was aware of the plan to illegally overturn the election results. By remaining silent on the matter (and not giving over what he knows or has of their plans to the Committee) Pence is being, in effect, an accomplice to the crime. He may have done the correct thing on that fateful day. But let's not forget that he has since done nothing to stop the Big Lie from being spread. In fact he's publicly spoken about trying to re-establish a connection with Trump. No - It's clear to me that Pence is still guilty of being an accomplice. In fact the longer he remains silent and does not speak out against Trump and his co-conspirators, the less respect he deserves from anyone. Because what he's doing now is shielding Trump and the others.
@@johnjepsen4243 Ukraine did not attack Russia. Russia is on Ukrainian territory killing Ukrainians. How does this fit into the picture you have in your mind? "Zionist" president lured Russians here or something?
I think they were just trying to protect him. Their job isn’t to fight threats, it’s to remove the diplomat from the dangerous situation. Getting him out of there actually makes a lot of sense given there were hundreds of trespassers in the building. Whatever, it worked out.
I've been worried about this for a long time. My deceased Father in Law has a Stepson who is in the Secret Service. His Stepson told me there were men in the Secret Service who really shouldn't be there. This was in around 2018.
OMG...I just fell into the rabbit's hole. Who does the Secret Service work for? The President? Who do they work for once that President is no longer the President? I don't think anybody would want Donald Trump's leftover Secret Service people!
Because he was no fool. He knew when he did his job that Trump had already started up outside and was not going to put his life in danger for a sore loser.
Pence stayed to complete the congressional certification of Joe Biden’s Victory. And in doing so, deflected the chances of an unprecedented catastrophic constitutional crisis. Brave man.
I don't see how that makes sense. The mob was calling for his DEATH. His family was there. The 'sore loser' threatened him in his speech that day, sending his mob to the Capitol. It put his life in danger TO do his job that day.
And Even if he was afraid for his life, he Stood up to his Responsibility to us, (We The People), to protect our votes on the the choice (We the People) made to elect our Now PRESIDENT.this
I think all of those secret service agents involved in this incident should have to testify under oath as to what their orders were, and who gave them the orders. this whole mess sounds like something out of the Russian playbook.
Look into Bill Browder and his interactions with Trump&friends pre-presidency. There’s very good reason to believe that Trump has/had an immediate Russian $$ reason to do everything he did.
Well, as Eric Trump said (being the genius that he is), "Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.’” It now seems that Putin is all done with Trump. I guess that means no penthouse in the Moscow Trump tower (Like Putin ever really cared about that!).
That's because it is! It's becoming more and more clear that many things that have happened over the years were being directed by Russian agents. It sounds cliched, but the signs are all there.
This was most definitely an attempted overthrow of the now-certified outcome of the election by the then-Commander in Chief of the US military. That fits the definition of a coup.. whether he used all of the weapons at his disposal or not.

Has anyone questioned how at a "rally" someone happened to bring the materials to construct a Gallo? And why? The argument that all of this, January 6th, was spontaneous is looking much more suspect and once a number of those charged ( in the various cases), flip as I'm sure they will, we'll see just how detailed and premeditated it all was. If our courts hold then a variation of the old adage will apply: "when you aim for the King, ( Constitution), it better be fatal.
Oh they knew exactly what the plan was for that day ahead of time, I hope and pray that everyone having anything to do with that plan sees the inside of a prison cell. Every last one of them from the smallest fish to the big fish himself. We cannot ever let that happen again.
It 100% was planned ahead. Trump, Gaetz and MTG were all posting videos for weeks trying to amp ppl up, they tried to bus people into DC from all over. They told them to come armed and ready for war. We're just lucky they're such losers and no one showed up. They tried for weeks, small crowd if you know how serious Trump was. He literally tried to start a civil war and overthrow our democracy, it wasn't spur of the moment.
Please see Jan 6 for what is was. It was a planned, fanned ( by you know who) attempt to take over from a duly elected government. Forces of tyranny and denial and vested interests should not be allowed to distract and hoodwink the American people. It was a failed coup attempt. The perpetrators should ALL be in jail by now.
They had tshirts printed and had been talking about it for weeks before. It was planned. Alex Jones and tiger stone both have interviews talking about getting together to plan it with the trump administration.
There is so much bad I can say about Pence but one thing is for sure, he will go down in history as someone who protected the Constitution. He fulfilled his duty to the people.
United States Constitution: 14th amendment, article 3: “No person shall hold any office civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath to support the constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or giving aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Mike Pence did the right thing. He protected democracy. He is not the one facing prison time. I have more respect for him than Donald J Trump. He is too dangerous to bring him back ever again. He showed his true colors on 1/6/2021.
There's something still unbelievable it's so real about January 6th for me I know it happened intellectually, but emotionally every time I remember it I go through the for first four stages of grief for our democracy. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression I will never get to acceptance of what happened.
Ditto but in exact opposite end of the spectrum. You honestly believe JB &Admin.+Dem.heirarchy actually care about protecting our 'Democracy" U can't be serious.
They know who these guys are. Jan 6th will have to get info and discuss the options. Things like this are nails in ppls coffins. Not to be trusted ever again.
Agreed Wendy - I never knew why he wouldn't leave, but respected his decision not to support tRump. Now, I have a second thing to respect, if what Chris is saying is true. ... but then my brain says "you believe a Republican ? The party of liars ? .... In this case, I will hope Pence's religious upbringing is coming through, and not his party's penchant for saying anything.
Pence is not void of accountability he too is a coward and liar 4 yrs of hiding behind his so called Christian values God will hold him especially accountable 😍😇🥰🙏
@@chaka1045 Use your common sense.

The goal was to prevent the electoral votes from being counted as required by the Constitution. Removing the vice president to an "undisclosed location" for "his own protection" and keeping him there for an extensive period would accomplish that.
Grassley knew something was going to happen. On the 5th, he said he would be counting the votes as Senate Pro Tempore, because Pence wouldn't be there to do it. Why hasn't there been any follow up on that? This is the quote . . . "Well, first of all, I will be - if the Vice President isn’t there and we don’t expect him to be there, I will be presiding over the Senate." He's been evading questions about it. So, WTF is going on here?
The phrase ' take him to Alaska' could actually have been a paraphrase for ' put him on ice'. There is also a concern expressed by Pence not knowing who was driving the car.
Now that all the texts from Trumps Secret Service have been deleted....I have no doubt that Trump wanted Pence killed to stop the verification of the election. TOP SS guy, Murray is a huge Trump supporter and probably in on it all. The Proud boys and Oath keepers already testified they would have killed Pence if they found him....It was what Trump wanted them to do.
May not? Or. Would not have been permitted to do so... would have been prevented to do so on order of "45" or staff supporting the insurrection for "45"?
This is chilling. I’m not a fan of Mike Pence but I have the upmost respect for what he did that day. I do also wonder if he feared for life if he got in that car. It’s sickening that the secret service couldn’t be trusted.
IM not a conspiracy theorist but they won't allow psyche evaluations of government officials because most of them are fearful avoidants THATS why monarchy could save us from a civil war we are overdue for 😂😂😂Js. This is a scary revelation all around can we POSTPONE elections NOW?
The president and vice president DO NOT travel together, it is a safety protocol, anyone with A BRAIN KNOWS THAT, look at all the people commenting on here and on the clip that do not have a brain or know how to use one (BOTS!)

I despise Pence, I disagree on policy 99% of the time. Though I respect him for what was going on in his mind. As well as how he handled it, if you run when s**t hits the fan. You lose.
I do too. He was a terrible Governor in the State of Indiana & he Never stood up to Trump on anything and put politics before his so called Christian Faith. If you recall he did try to avoid certifying the election. It was only after he called Dan Quayle that he realized he had no way out. He did his job, no more and no less. Coward.
Pence did run, a few Secretaries wanted Pence to pull that 25th amendment card so trump will be thrown out of office right away. But he didn't because Pence is a coward
There is an even darker reason Pence might have refused to go. Trump had made it clear that if Pence failed him, he would get even. Getting in a car sent by the leader of a coup, a leader who is angry at you already, might be a one way trip. At least at the Capital he wouldn't be alone. (He couldn't know who Trump had corrupted, so feared the worst.) Anyway, it's just another thought.
I thought of that, but if Pence knew the Secret Service agents, he would know that they were loyal. The Secret Service would no way take such an order from any President.
All those people should be held accountable, to the highest level of the law. They are enemies of the state and the constitution. Prison for treason is what they should get.

@@plantmaster3339 Oh Garland is doing his job, have no doubt about that. He was in charge of the Oklahoma City bombing and there were NO LEAKS during his investigation, nothing was heard until the indictments, and there were no overturns on appeals. Garland sent Timothy McVeigh to his death, and Terry Nichols was sentenced to life in prison without parole. We haven't heard anything because that's the way Garland wants it. He has, however, given clues, and the most recent one was the state of New York asked for some documents on trump and DOJ denied them, stating it would affect a current investigation.
There's a little more to the "I'm not getting in that car" quote that gives a lot of context. In that same breath, he said to his main USSS agent "I trust you, but you're not driving the car."
He deserves just a little bit of extra credit for doing his job under those conditions. Other than that, he needs to come clean with everything he knows and the entire corruption that went on while he was in office with that monster. That very well could have been a plan of his boss to get him in that vehicle to get him out of there. I would almost bet my life on it.
Mike Pence in that moment of that day did the one redeeming act that historians will focus as being one of if not the most pivotal acts that essentially saved the US Constitution and the US republic. Not many are a fan of Pence's political views, but he definitely did his job, unwillingly more than likely, but in the end he did his job.

Trump ran the White House, as a Cosa nos, Like a mop boss, and that’s who Trump has been, as far as how he runs his corporations, and he wanted America to be run that way, and Putin would’ve had his man finally in the White House.

How about standing up and holding yourself accountable for everything from Jan 6 to today. If you hadn't voted for Biden none of what you're crying about would be the conversation. How about those apples.
Why is a clown who knew about the plot and said nothing, considered "patriotic"? This word is used too often, it lost all meaning under George W Shrub. He saw a prison sentence on the wall, as in he would have been the ultimate fall guy if he'd played along. He saved himself, he cares nothing for you.
There are two stories then , the other is that Pence was in The Peoples Capital Car Park alone. Pence took over , as President . Told Mark Miller to get the Sheriff . Told Christopher Miller too. Pence refused to leave the Capital, because he assumed the the Transfer of power to himself as acting President .
I cannot stand Mike Pence! But on Jan. 6th when he carried out his Duties for ALL America as he swore to do, on that day I'd have shaken his hand. Good Job Mr. Pence!
Mr. Pence is my brother in Christ; I am not in the least happy with performance under DJT. Naturally I have absolutely NO knowledge of what pressures he was under throughout his service as VP. I am now however, am convinced the God he and I serve moved Mr. Pence to make that absolutely crucial and pivotal decision not to abandon his obligation. For those of you who understand the Torah and the "Old" and New Testaments; we read ALL governments are ordained by God for the purpose of keeping order. (Sadly some want to relegate that passage to the Hebrews at that time.I am not in that camp.) Reders should also remember the many turmoil the Hebrews went through, my particlar focus is on David. How many close calls he went through serving the king? How many times did he runaway and lamented his situation? How many times did he have the opportunity to overthrow the government of, the king, and take the thrown that he KNEW!, was promised to him by the God both he and the King served? How many times he thanked God for his deliverance from the violence of the king? Let us pray, and strive to do better.
But don't forget that he and everyone else knew who Trump was when they hitched their wagons to him. Pence is complicit and was willing to risk democracy for his conservative agenda...
Yep, not a fan, but for all Pence and the rest of the GOP had allowed Trump to get away with, he did not break his vow to the constitution and completed the counting of the votes. He handled himself like an American! The GOP created a monster that created a cult DEVOTED to that monster, and now they have to allow the radical right’s take over of the GOP. I may not have always (never) agreed with the GOP, but before trump, I knew that they were Americans. NOT ANYMORE!
We are now at the point in this country that we feel grateful for our leaders when they do their job, our democracy is hanging by the thinnest of threads.
You need to speak for yourself. I have lost faith and trust in our leaders. Can you tell me: 1. Why did Pelosi not want extra police at the capital? 2. Why did the police open some of the door and wave peaceful people inside? 3. Who was the faction of rioters - were they Antifa, or BLM or both? 4. Why are so many still in solitary confinement who were arrested on Jan. 6th without charges and legal representation? Pelosi tried to pull off a coup 1/2 way thru Trump's 1st term - lets take a deep look at her. I have a ton of questions about the election and everything about that being buried. There is a lot that is rotten in D.C. Nothing to do with Jan. 6th but why is Biden willing allowing anyone and everyone through our borders, except Ukrainians? This Administration is willfully destroying our country with all of their screw ups.
That's the narrative they want you to believe. Our democracy is a little off kilter but it is not hanging on by a thread. A handful of useful idiots thinking they could overturn the election is far less dangerous than Trump still being an agitator at large.
He was aware of the plot and he knew instinctively that he would not be permitted to come back to the Capitol and finish his work on 1/6 if he let the Secret Service take him away -- he'd be aggressively prevented from doing so.
Trump had already before this happened tried to pursuade him not to confirm the ballots but to send them back. In that light he knew exactly what was going on. I'm not a fan of him, but kudo's for him for doing the right thing at the right time.
Where ever they would have taken him, they weren't bringing him back. Their job 1 was to protect him, the Capitol wasn't safe. Or maybe he would have been found in the trunk of a car in need of an autopsy.
I can't remember the exact words, but when announcing the confirmation of the ballots he did put in a twist to make clear that these were the real ballots or something like that.
This truly gave me chills…..I have been so afraid for our country ….I pray constantly that our democracy is not torn apart…I truly wish all of the criminals from the top down spend the rest of their sorry lives locked away in a prison….I will never feel safe again until they pay for what they have done and what they tried to do, and what they continue to do.
Our so called Democracy is ALREADY in the past. The day the COWARDLY DRAFT DODGER THIEF trump said he could shoot a person on 5th Avenue and never be charged with a crime I knew we lost or nation. That statement alone tells you our nation had become a Facist State. Trump knew right then he OWNED the USA. When no law enforcement put up any resistance to trump's supporters attempting an overthrow of the elected government I knew we now have a Dictatorship NOT a Democracy. Had trump not chickened out when he didn't go with his people to the Capitol Building Biden would NOT be President today. That was a major miscalculation on trump's part. We will know very shortly if there is ANY CHANCE of bringing back Democracy to the USA. The midterms will tell us if trump becomes the Hitler of the USA or a jailed insurrectionist . My bet is trump has ALREADY won. This is the turning point for citizens of the USA. Are we going to continue on towards total Dictatorship or will we start back towards our form of Democracy?
Mike Pence was the only presidential image in that administration even if only because of how he conducted himself in the discharge of his duties that day.
You can't be serious. Just because he says batshiz crazy crap with a furrowed brow & weighted tone you think it's not BS. Man, how quickly people forgets he was a yes-man for ALL of Trump's worst instincts. Presidential? Pff, only if you like people lying to your face.
Pence knew that tRump should not be the President and he had 4 years of proof..... He had to do the right thing for the United States of America and himself... enough is enough.... Wow it came this close to losing our country to a dictator.... How is CPAC going to install a fascist Government from this day forward , if we think for one moment that the Orange fruit acted alone on this Coup D'Etat .... well then we are fools ... this coward would not go to vietam for this country .... he is not standing alone in his attempt to install a dictatorship here..... he is a puppet for CPAC and who are these people?
I still wouldn't vote for him, but he did the right thing Jan 6. He was completely wrong all the way up to Jan 6, but at least he wised up when it counted.
The fact this was even an option or being discussed is insane. This should never have happened. This is a crime and a travesty. I hope people are held accountable.
AND THE MAN WITH A 600,000 BODY COUNT FOR THE WAY HE HANDLED COVID IS, STILL TRYING TO WEDGE HIS FAT, PSYCHOTIC, LYING A** BACK IN THE WHITEHOUSE. RAISE A GLASS (FILLED WITH BLEACH) TO A SICK, DEMENTIA LOADED POS WHO WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR AND RULE/RUN OUR LIVES.
It would only take one Trump loyalist in that car with Pence, on his security detail, to bring about a state funeral for him. That’s how disloyal subordinates are made into glorious martyrs in coups all over the world. Those six words may have saved his life.
He would have been hung by now if this happened in George Washington times. Treason?! I'm shocked he's still free, prob lining it up so Rep shoot themselves in the foot right before the election. Don't go e the people time to forget, or let them primary in all the criminals and then lock them up right after. Lol. Only silver lining.
In actuality Washington faced a situation between Yorktown and the treaty of Paris in 1784.His soldiers where going to march on Philadelphia and demand there pay .He sentenced several to death caused he wanted the government and the military to be separate

Regardless of how you feel about Pence's politics, he was an American hero that day. He did what a real American should. He protected our freedoms even if it meant it cost him personally.
Hear hear.
Yup, the left recognizes him and what he did. Now, compare that to even a few weeks ago. After Trump was whisked to the hospital, Pence publicly wished him well and complimented him. Trump ignored it. But guess who didn't? The Maga crowd. They flooded his Tweet with the kinds of words I can't repeat on here. They have been non-stop since 2021!!! Imagine that. Imagine the kind of people that see this, and still want to be in Trump's cabinet. They don't see the lasting vitriol as something that could happen to them, they see it as a mass of people to hold power over that is up for grabs. Pure evil.

The fact that we’re knowing all this and these people are all not only still walking around freely, but also wanting to return or remain in high government positions is really mind boggling.
If you notice, certain people of power and wealth can get away with anything. If heads will roll, it will be some hardly known scapegoats- such as a select few involved in the insurrection. Welcome to America.
It’s also amazing how much more continues to come out more than one year after the attempted coup. Head shaking and mouth gasping for sure

YES HE DID THE RIGHT THING. BECAUSE he knew "orangina" was sooo tied to Pootin... he had no choice but to use his REASONING.
Except for one thing, he lacked the balls to tell Trump that he had lost, instead he hid behind the claim that he was unable to hold up the counting of the votes. He missed the opportunity to join in with and support the reality that Trump lost fair and square.

Bc...it's a secret
This is one of the most important points that should be addressed by every person in America.
Especially the holder of the Nuclear football, whilst remaining in the Capitol. Remaining there gave pence power.
I'm just reading this part of the story here in August 2024. I'm a news junkie and am surprised that I'd never heard this part of the story. Which makes me think it wasn't covered very well at the time (unless this is just coming out after the investigations of the insurrection are over. But this video was from a couple of years back).
@@balesjoit was covered at the time
@@balesjoyou must have been in political rehab then because it was covered during the j6 committee
@@Anita-gp1gv the football wasn't relevant that day, as it's not active, since POTUS still was in command.
That he didn't retreat, thereby effectively shutting down the national government is important for legal reasons. Had he retreated, government would then have been overwhelmed and no longer in charge and Trump could've declared martial law for the entire District. That's established case law going back to Lincoln, who was told by the SCOTUS that as long as the courts were in session, martial law would be unlawful and by extension, the legislative or even executive branch. In that case, Lincoln wanting to declare martial law in a Great Lakes state because of the presence of a POW camp full of Confederate prisoners.
I've absolutely no faith that Trump would ever relinquish that power once declared and he'd just find excuse after excuse to retain it and we'd likely still be under martial law under a de facto emperor Trump to this very day.
I have an even darker interpretation. It would have been the last car ride he ever took.
Trump may have said he was only "disappointed" in Pence, but maaan did he sure sound pi$sed
@@Muzikrazy213Yeah if Pence had thought he'd just be moved off campus to delay the certification, Pence would be Trump's running mate. But Pence knew that Trump wanted him dead, and you don't really come back from that.

As a republican Actions like this make me vote BLUE
As a crazy radical left weirdo… I’m proud of you. The Republican party of yesteryear, which believed in protecting the working class and protecting democracy against insurrection in the civil war, is not the party running for office right now.
I’m sorry for what has happened to the party that once stood up for what you believe in, and I’m proud of you for standing up to abusers of power.
Thank you for putting country before party!
Yea when you re dumb to nough to believe everything Dems tell you
God Save America!
Voting Blue 🇺🇸
Lifelong Republican here. I’m voting straight blue until MAGA is gone. My conscience will not allow me to support this new party. Trump is the tip of the iceberg. These are not conservatives.
No one covered the fact that Charles Grassley REP. Iowa said he was going to oversee election results bc "They" didn't expect Pence to be there. Why? And who are "They"? And why didn't "They" expect Pence to be there? So many questions not asked of Grassley directly on the news.
Theyre only hiding the truth? From the gen public.
Everybody else knows. They just dont want the constituents, the *voters, to know....
Vote all previously elected pols out
Take back our power.
Voting a straight blue or red ticket? Is basically communism. We need this crazy 2 party system to make our system of govt work. Vote em OUT.
But pls do vote.
Mmm. There's quite a bit that they're still trying to keep hidden from us mere constituents.
Which *if* we get to know it all? Is liable to make some folks want another Jan6, but this next go round? They'd want to be front n center. Americans dont much cotton to traitors and, if they'd figure out what congress had planned for them? Along w bush2 n Cheney family? Would not bode well for congress.
And we do have some good ppl in there. I think they're trying real hard right now to use that ol' cloak of invisibility trick ;)
Yes,who are they?
Wow! Yes he does need to be investigated. It's ridiculous that so many questions aren't being asked or answered.
Thank goodness for courageous people to uphold the Constitution ! Thank You❤
And yet, he is very silent currently. He still holds a ton of info that would help the American people and says nothing to protect our democracy, now, when it is needed most.
He’s probably afraid for his life and family. Trump acts mob-like.
He’s afraid, that’s why. He’s always been a spineless jellyfish.
He saved himself & did his duty; he might not side with Trump again but he's absolutely still party over the people.
He’s still a big boy in the republican cult of money worship…
He needs to spill on everything to keep Trump from anything else.
As a Republican I've never been able to tolerate Pence, especially once he aligned himself with Trump. I have fully appreciated the magnitude of his refusal to cooperate in a coup against the US govt on Jan 6th.
I didn't know until now that he had also refused to leave the building that day. Although I knew why congress refused to leave & I understood why.
The man may not be the brightest bulb in the box but his loyalty to his country & our Constitution did not waver in a critical moment in history. He is a Patriot & a Hero.
Agree 💯
Thank Ruben Gallego and Dan Quayle: Gallego kept representatives on site and former VP Quayle advised Pence that he had to stay and certify those votes. There was no other option, there was no room for interpretation or differences of opinion.
Neither Quayle nor Pence were the brightest or the most clever of men. Pedantic, annoying, dull, misguided zealots, both.
Useful tools and idiots sent to Washington by the GOP to put the brakes on and to be the straight men in the comedy routines that were their running mates’ years in office. For presidents too dumb, inexperienced or too power hungry to ably preside over the country if left unwatched and unchecked and without a sideman to run and tell the GOP leaders what their prodigal sons were up to.
What they did know well is The Constitution. They knew parliamentary procedure/rules of order for government bodies/meetings. They understood the assignment and handed it in.
Pence did the very minimum required of him in his role, that day. He did his job as set out in very clear language in the document that governs us all. No more, no less. And he had to call around and get support and aid and cheerleading from others in his party, to do even that little bit that was required of him.
I won’t congratulate him for doing what is expected of him. That’s not heroic. That’s his job. I will not thank him for aligning himself with Trump nor for refusing to speak up afterward. He knew what was coming, he was privy to all or some of the conversations and planning, there is no way he did not know about the slates of fake electors or the Trump call to Georgia when he was “just looking for a few votes”.
He was complicit and accepting, in all that Trump and Trump’s minions did. And had the J6 insurrectionists succeeded in gaining entry to that chamber or gotten their hands on Pelusi or AOC, he would have stayed put and gone along with that too.
in order to be successful as coup there must be guns and force it was yes it was a protest
It is not mutually exclusive to be a patriot and a hero and a really lousy politician. He deserves both titles.
I agree. I don't believe it was strictly to stop the coup tho. I think that he knew he would not survive if he got in that car.
Do not like Pence at all but, but I agree, he did show leadership and I actually do understand his thinking... Gallegos was so spot on in his thinking as well.. I think it was much more dangerous if they left.. Great thinking in a time of fear..
He was a lap-dog for 4 years and he grew a spine on the last few days of his office? He still was Drumps biggest enabler and yes man.
It's called "Instinct to survive" that kicked in.
No, it's called leadership at a time of crisis.
I don't like VP Pence but I thank him and appreciate the decision he made that day o1/ 06 by choosing country instead of one man looking to destroy it..and if he wrote the book " Am not getting into that car " I'll buy it

Trump did nothing to cool the crowd he pushed the crowd telling them they should fight and that the government was being taken away from them. he had a war room assembled at a hotel keeping in close contact with the rioters.
The most telling thing is trump did not stop the riot the minute he went on TV and told the villains to stop they did but he let the riot go on for 6 hours before telling the people to stop. Also trump through his loyal secretary of defense refused to mobilize the national guard it was not until pence gave the order that any National guard unit responded.

How odd that all of the secret service communications were deleted in such a way that we cannot know what they were actually doing.
I don't know that story, but assuming it's true it makes sense. That was an extreme event and probably triggered some extreme protocols that are best kept secret so that they can be used effectively again.
It's not called the _secret_ service for nothing.
And quite convenient for the Secret Service agents involved. And we still don't know what the agents involved testified to... CYA to the extreme.
Trump gave them orders
Yes, unbelievable. And nobody is investigating.
The secret service being used for political gains sends chills down my spine.
Not the first time... They did so with Kennedy, and we all know how that turned out.
Agreed! If they can be persuaded by Trümp, who/what else could persuade them?
Not vetting their agents at least every 6 months. This is dangerous.
Trump Administration rotted on all levels available (including using Barr & DOJ for his own personal agenda until Barr's final refusal to not act on Trump's behalf also)
Secret service needs to be investigated and purged of trumpers.
They talking about the secret service detail ….. that is scary.. what about their oath.. we screwed folks..
Yup
We are becoming a fascist country and no one is trying to stop it. The left and Democrats are cowards. We are screwed indeed.
Trump has to have loyalists in the SS. Those 15 boxes of documents didn't carry themselves out of the White House. Fingerprint them and you'll know Trump didn't carry them out either.
All of this apparent SS corruption makes sense when one remembers that 'TFG' is always trying to force everyone in his orbit to be loyal to him ONLY! Frankly he should be locked up!
They have fascists in their ranks just like the police have always had.
Wow. Chills. Didn't realize how significant that was.
I have never held Pence in very high regard - but it turns out that his actions of standing up for what was right (according to the Constitution) played a critical role in upholding our Democracy. Regardless of other differences of opinion and political perspective - Thank you Mike Pence.
Agree 100% love him or hate him he will go down in history for being a hero and a man of honor on that day. On the other hand, I believe Trump will go down as the worst president in history.
You're absolutely right. He's absolutely not my favorite person but what he did that day played a part in saving our democracy. Thank you, Mike Pence
I was going to voice this exact sentiment. Thank you, Steven. As a liberal in a state adjoining Indiana, I was aware of Mike Pence long before he became VP. He persecuted the LGBTQ community in his state, pushed for religion where it did not belong. Thankfully, when it came to upholding the US Constitution and his oath of office against the bullying of the Trumpists, Mr. Pence deserves full credit for following the law and protecting our democratic form of government.
Honestly though, 'not letting mob rule win' is a pretty low bar.
I see it as putting out a fire you were a huge part of starting. All he did was move to correct his mistake a little. I havent heard him speak out to prevent it from happening again except that one, forgotten time.
Mike pence is no hero, and his actions on jan 6th were no where near heroic.
Or...he didn't trust the secret service? I wouldn't trust anyone at that point.
The secret service protecting Biden also can't be trusted.

Fish in a bowl. He was going to be hit.
Mike Pence knew that Trump had Ornato in his back pocket. Classic mobster move. Pence should come clean about it, but he won’t cos it will incriminate him as well. I don’t know why they haven’t subpoenaed Pence yet.
I’m surprised somebody hasn’t kissed Trumputin’s third eye yet.
I abhor Pence and everything he stands for but on that day, he truly put country before party and even his own safety and I cant help but respect that.
I agree with you Polar.
YOU GOT IT .
Yes and no… Pence knew he was safer in the Capitol. He knew that he risked being assassinated by Trumpanzees otherwise… SS agents would have put him in his limo and he’d be a goner, they would have never found his body.
So why isn't pence screaming of everything he knows. He can tell the maga people the truth some will listen hard core will never listen
The problem is that Pence only made a stand that one time.
Trump and his cronies have continued to push the Big Lie, and Pence is saying nothing to counter this.
That's because he fears what having to deal with an angry MAGA crowd for the rest of his life would be like.
There will be death threats sent to him, and his family. He won't ever be allowed to attend another Republican Party gathering.
Pence must know what they were planning to do, meaning that he was aware of the plan to illegally overturn the election results.
By remaining silent on the matter (and not giving over what he knows or has of their plans to the Committee) Pence is being, in effect, an accomplice to the crime.
He may have done the correct thing on that fateful day. But let's not forget that he has since done nothing to stop the Big Lie from being spread. In fact he's publicly spoken about trying to re-establish a connection with Trump.
No - It's clear to me that Pence is still guilty of being an accomplice. In fact the longer he remains silent and does not speak out against Trump and his co-conspirators, the less respect he deserves from anyone. Because what he's doing now is shielding Trump and the others.

And Even if he was afraid for his life, he Stood up to his Responsibility to us, (We The People), to protect our votes on the the choice (We the People) made to elect our Now PRESIDENT.this
Soooò many Were Afraid on THAT day, and too many died!
How many died cause you will sew what you reap .darkness will not be cast over terra 3
He was not. You guys are laughable.
You are not, read the comments.
I think all of those secret service agents involved in this incident should have to testify under oath as to what their orders were, and who gave them the orders. this whole mess sounds like something out of the Russian playbook.
TRUMP'S bbf.
Look into Bill Browder and his interactions with Trump&friends pre-presidency. There’s very good reason to believe that Trump has/had an immediate Russian $$ reason to do everything he did.
Well, as Eric Trump said (being the genius that he is), "Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.’” It now seems that Putin is all done with Trump. I guess that means no penthouse in the Moscow Trump tower (Like Putin ever really cared about that!).
That's because it is! It's becoming more and more clear that many things that have happened over the years were being directed by Russian agents. It sounds cliched, but the signs are all there.
Hear, hear!
By leaving the count would have been stopped and never the same opportunity to certify the election ever! Thank God Gallegos recognized this.
Yet it's mostly ceremonial.
Trump should be charged with treason...🇺🇲
And all those traitors from J6
I’ve never understood why he was not.
And co-conspirator to attempted murder of Pence, via mob dt instigated.
Help us God 🙏
Treason
SCOTUS gave him immunity for any actions he did as president.
REMEMBER THIS:
"A Failed Coup Without Consequences Is Nothing More Than Practice For The Next One".
A Coup with no weapons. You sure you want to keep calling it a Coup? Too much dope I suspect.
This was most definitely an attempted overthrow of the now-certified outcome of the election by the then-Commander in Chief of the US military. That fits the definition of a coup.. whether he used all of the weapons at his disposal or not.

Has anyone questioned how at a "rally" someone happened to bring the materials to construct a Gallo? And why? The argument that all of this, January 6th, was spontaneous is looking much more suspect and once a number of those charged ( in the various cases), flip as I'm sure they will, we'll see just how detailed and premeditated it all was. If our courts hold then a variation of the old adage will apply: "when you aim for the King, ( Constitution), it better be fatal.

Oh they knew exactly what the plan was for that day ahead of time, I hope and pray that everyone having anything to do with that plan sees the inside of a prison cell. Every last one of them from the smallest fish to the big fish himself. We cannot ever let that happen again.
It 100% was planned ahead. Trump, Gaetz and MTG were all posting videos for weeks trying to amp ppl up, they tried to bus people into DC from all over. They told them to come armed and ready for war.
We're just lucky they're such losers and no one showed up. They tried for weeks, small crowd if you know how serious Trump was. He literally tried to start a civil war and overthrow our democracy, it wasn't spur of the moment.
Please see Jan 6 for what is was. It was a planned, fanned ( by you know who) attempt to take over from a duly elected government. Forces of tyranny and denial and vested interests should not be allowed to distract and hoodwink the American people. It was a failed coup attempt. The perpetrators should ALL be in jail by now.
They had tshirts printed and had been talking about it for weeks before.
It was planned. Alex Jones and tiger stone both have interviews talking about getting together to plan it with the trump administration.
There is so much bad I can say about Pence but one thing is for sure, he will go down in history as someone who protected the Constitution. He fulfilled his duty to the people.
United States Constitution: 14th amendment, article 3:
“No person shall hold any office civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath to support the constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or giving aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

Mike Pence did the right thing. He protected democracy. He is not the one facing prison time. I have more respect for him than Donald J Trump. He is too dangerous to bring him back ever again. He showed his true colors on 1/6/2021.

There's something still unbelievable it's so real about January 6th for me I know it happened intellectually, but emotionally every time I remember it I go through the for first four stages of grief for our democracy. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression I will never get to acceptance of what happened.
Ditto but in exact opposite end of the spectrum. You honestly believe JB &Admin.+Dem.heirarchy actually care about protecting our 'Democracy" U can't be serious.

Because he is a real Republican. The Trump supporters today are ReMagaKlans.
Think about it
Well now we know the fbi was involved and so was the secret service....
Agreed Wendy - I never knew why he wouldn't leave, but respected his decision not to support tRump. Now, I have a second thing to respect, if what Chris is saying is true. ... but then my brain says "you believe a Republican ? The party of liars ? .... In this case, I will hope Pence's religious upbringing is coming through, and not his party's penchant for saying anything.
Sad that the bar is "because Pence did his job". (And of course Trump is like some psycho ex-employee with a vendetta against their employer.)
Frankly we knew this for some time if you were paying attention.
It appears VP Pence finally made an executive decision by upholding the constitution. Nice to see after four years of listening to a Narcissist.
Pence is not void of accountability he too is a coward and liar 4 yrs of hiding behind his so called Christian values God will hold him especially accountable 😍😇🥰🙏
So many people that should have been in prison since then, not just Trump.
For the same reasons why you don't get into a car with the mob bosses men when you didn't do what you were told
@@chaka1045 Use your common sense. If the mob chant Hang Mike Pence- because of what his boss, the president, said, and the president knows and does nothing to stop it, don't even ask if he's okay (Pelosi did) then you wouldn't feel safe getting in a car the president has control over.

The goal was to prevent the electoral votes from being counted as required by the Constitution. Removing the vice president to an "undisclosed location" for "his own protection" and keeping him there for an extensive period would accomplish that.
Foiled again😂!
I think Trump wanted to whack Pence.

Pence is a good man and "stood his ground" doing his job for the people...a true and intelligent public servants.
Grassley knew something was going to happen. On the 5th, he said he would be counting the votes as Senate Pro Tempore, because Pence wouldn't be there to do it. Why hasn't there been any follow up on that?
This is the quote . . . "Well, first of all, I will be - if the Vice President isn’t there and we don’t expect him to be there, I will be presiding over the Senate."
He's been evading questions about it. So, WTF is going on here?

The phrase ' take him to Alaska' could actually have been a paraphrase for ' put him on ice'. There is also a concern expressed by Pence not knowing who was driving the car.
Going to be Epsteined
BINGO
Yep. Who was really driving the car hmmmmm?
Now that all the texts from Trumps Secret Service have been deleted....I have no doubt that Trump wanted Pence killed to stop the verification of the election. TOP SS guy, Murray is a huge Trump supporter and probably in on it all. The Proud boys and Oath keepers already testified they would have killed Pence if they found him....It was what Trump wanted them to do.
@@suzanne9150 Trump wanted a dead PENCE so he could call martial law and slip into a life Time dictatorship
If Pence had left then he may not get back to validate the votes. Staying put was key to staying in power- good for him.
Precisely.
Chuck Grassley said that Pence wasn't going to be there so he was going to be presiding over the vote, scary. I don't like pence but here he did right
if he had got in that car he may not have exited alive
Or maybe there was some Drumpfster goons inside ready to take him for “a ride” .
May not? Or. Would not have been permitted to do so... would have been prevented to do so on order of "45" or staff supporting the insurrection for "45"?
This is chilling. I’m not a fan of Mike Pence but I have the upmost respect for what he did that day. I do also wonder if he feared for life if he got in that car. It’s sickening that the secret service couldn’t be trusted.
IM not a conspiracy theorist but they won't allow psyche evaluations of government officials because most of them are fearful avoidants
THATS why monarchy could save us from a civil war we are overdue for 😂😂😂Js. This is a scary revelation all around
can we POSTPONE elections NOW?
I'm sure he did fear for his life. He no doubt recalled JFK & RFK.
The president and vice president DO NOT travel together, it is a safety protocol, anyone with A BRAIN KNOWS THAT, look at all the people commenting on here and on the clip that do not have a brain or know how to use one (BOTS!)
I’m thinking the same thing he was afraid of what the secret service would do to him.
What’s truly chilling is how f’ing complacent our country has become to not be fighting mad about what IS HAPPENING to our country as BOTH Parties continue voting away our rights our livelihoods and what would have been legacies and family histories, in fact are receiving millions in kickbacks for, as they placate us getting their kicks, lighting up cigars from the flames as the whole shithouse goes up in flames….
Ruben Gallego's quote gave me goosebumps and reinforced my resolve even more. I may have to donate to him.

I despise Pence, I disagree on policy 99% of the time. Though I respect him for what was going on in his mind. As well as how he handled it, if you run when s**t hits the fan. You lose.
Agreed. Thanks Pence.
And then he ruined whatever good he did by his continued loyalty.
I do too. He was a terrible Governor in the State of Indiana & he Never stood up to Trump on anything and put politics before his so called Christian Faith. If you recall he did try to avoid certifying the election. It was only after he called Dan Quayle that he realized he had no way out. He did his job, no more and no less. Coward.
Pence did run, a few Secretaries wanted Pence to pull that 25th amendment card so trump will be thrown out of office right away. But he didn't because Pence is a coward
@@justsaying3729 why was he a terrible governor!!
They were going to take him to a "secure location", "for his safety".

Would have been a mysterious death had he gotten in the car.
@@DarkShroom ☠️☠️☠️👍👍
He probably would have woken up long enough to see Hoffa!
Down to the train station…Yellowstone.
There is an even darker reason Pence might have refused to go. Trump had made it clear that if Pence failed him, he would get even. Getting in a car sent by the leader of a coup, a leader who is angry at you already, might be a one way trip. At least at the Capital he wouldn't be alone. (He couldn't know who Trump had corrupted, so feared the worst.)
Anyway, it's just another thought.
This is probably the best explanation for why he would use those exact words. I’ve used them myself when I’ve felt threatened.
I thought of that, but if Pence knew the Secret Service agents, he would know that they were loyal. The Secret Service would no way take such an order from any President.
Good point. Pence might have rationally thought that getting in that car was the last thing he would ever do.

He was in charge of the Oklahoma City bombing and there were NO LEAKS during his investigation, nothing was heard until the indictments, and there were no overturns on appeals.

He has, however, given clues, and the most recent one was the state of New York asked for some documents on trump and DOJ denied them, stating it would affect a current investigation.
There's a little more to the "I'm not getting in that car" quote that gives a lot of context. In that same breath, he said to his main USSS agent "I trust you, but you're not driving the car."
Pence knew if he got on that car trump was capable of anything.

Mike Pence you save this Country. Thank You.
He deserves just a little bit of extra credit for doing his job under those conditions. Other than that, he needs to come clean with everything he knows and the entire corruption that went on while he was in office with that monster. That very well could have been a plan of his boss to get him in that vehicle to get him out of there. I would almost bet my life on it.
Yes! I can only imagine the things that Pence knows but for some reason chooses to keep silent. Very disturbing.
Mike Pence in that moment of that day did the one redeeming act that historians will focus as being one of if not the most pivotal acts that essentially saved the US Constitution and the US republic.
Not many are a fan of Pence's political views, but he definitely did his job, unwillingly more than likely, but in the end he did his job.
I agree with you except the Constitution is still not safe imo as a Brit watching from theUK. Get that ex President in prison. You are running out of time😢
Yes I do think if our democracy survives 100 more years Pence will be looked at as the man who stopped the coup by refusing to leave
That’s true but he still refused to testify against Trump during Trumps impeachment
“... if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you.”
This sounds like the words of a mob boss in some Hollywood movie.
Trump ran the White House, as a Cosa nos, Like a mop boss, and that’s who Trump has been, as far as how he runs his corporations, and he wanted America to be run that way, and Putin would’ve had his man finally in the White House. Putin right now is running the Ukraine war, hoping that the American people vote back in Donald J Trump, this is why all those red states, and their state politicians are trying to change the way people vote in those states, by changing those Mabs, and favoring those states for Trump.
Oh! But what would Putin say (or do)? Let us not find out!

"It would be a shame if something was to happen to yous...." is supposed to follow those words....

I cannot stand Mike Pence! But on Jan. 6th when he carried out his Duties for ALL America as he swore to do, on that day I'd have shaken his hand. Good Job Mr. Pence!
NOPE
Mr. Pence is my brother in Christ; I am not in the least happy with performance under DJT. Naturally I have absolutely NO knowledge of what pressures he was under throughout his service as VP. I am now however, am convinced the God he and I serve moved Mr. Pence to make that absolutely crucial and pivotal decision not to abandon his obligation.
For those of you who understand the Torah and the "Old" and New Testaments; we read ALL governments are ordained by God for the purpose of keeping order. (Sadly some want to relegate that passage to the Hebrews at that time.I am not in that camp.) Reders should also remember the many turmoil the Hebrews went through, my particlar focus is on David. How many close calls he went through serving the king? How many times did he runaway and lamented his situation? How many times did he have the opportunity to overthrow the government of, the king, and take the thrown that he KNEW!, was promised to him by the God both he and the King served? How many times he thanked God for his deliverance from the violence of the king? Let us pray, and strive to do better.
He probably also avoided being delivered to the gallows which had been built with his name on it.
I’m no fan of Mike Pence.. trust me! But I do think he handled this situation with Grace and bravery. No one deserves what he had to deal with.
But don't forget that he and everyone else knew who Trump was when they hitched their wagons to him. Pence is complicit and was willing to risk democracy for his conservative agenda...
I agree, not a fan at all, but he did the right thing for once, and should be commended for that.
I don’t trust you. I think you’re a Mike Pence fan.
At least he values our democracy
Yep, not a fan, but for all Pence and the rest of the GOP had allowed Trump to get away with, he did not break his vow to the constitution and completed the counting of the votes. He handled himself like an American!
The GOP created a monster that created a cult DEVOTED to that monster, and now they have to allow the radical right’s take over of the GOP. I may not have always (never) agreed with the GOP, but before trump, I knew that they were Americans. NOT ANYMORE!
We are now at the point in this country that we feel grateful for our leaders when they do their job, our democracy is hanging by the thinnest of threads.
You need to speak for yourself. I have lost faith and trust in our leaders. Can you tell me: 1. Why did Pelosi not want extra police at the capital? 2. Why did the police open some of the door and wave peaceful people inside? 3. Who was the faction of rioters - were they Antifa, or BLM or both? 4. Why are so many still in solitary confinement who were arrested on Jan. 6th without charges and legal representation? Pelosi tried to pull off a coup 1/2 way thru Trump's 1st term - lets take a deep look at her. I have a ton of questions about the election and everything about that being buried. There is a lot that is rotten in D.C. Nothing to do with Jan. 6th but why is Biden willing allowing anyone and everyone through our borders, except Ukrainians? This Administration is willfully destroying our country with all of their screw ups.
Sadly this is the reality we live in.
That's the narrative they want you to believe. Our democracy is a little off kilter but it is not hanging on by a thread. A handful of useful idiots thinking they could overturn the election is far less dangerous than Trump still being an agitator at large.
A sad reality that we have useful idiots who plays the role of the dog while these Facist are the owner holding the bone up high .
Democracy in the dUSA is basically ending
Pence was the real leader of our country that day! He did the right thing!
He was aware of the plot and he knew instinctively that he would not be permitted to come back to the Capitol and finish his work on 1/6 if he let the Secret Service take him away -- he'd be aggressively prevented from doing so.
@@LakePlay trumpet???
How many emperors died trusting the Praetorian Guard? It wasn’t being able to return to the Capitol he feared.
Trump had already before this happened tried to pursuade him not to confirm the ballots but to send them back. In that light he knew exactly what was going on. I'm not a fan of him, but kudo's for him for doing the right thing at the right time.
Where ever they would have taken him, they weren't bringing him back. Their job 1 was to protect him, the Capitol wasn't safe. Or maybe he would have been found in the trunk of a car in need of an autopsy.
He definitely knew that would be his LAST RIDE ANYWHERE on earth!
OK, if this is true, kudos to Pence-but why didn’t he speak out-immediately, loudly, and clearly-against Trump and what he tried to do?
The US government has assassinated people for less.

Because thats how trump loyalists end up in jail. He played the smart move.
He don't have the balls, he saw what happened to those who testified against him
I can't remember the exact words, but when announcing the confirmation of the ballots he did put in a twist to make clear that these were the real ballots or something like that.
This truly gave me chills…..I have been so afraid for our country ….I pray constantly that our democracy is not torn apart…I truly wish all of the criminals from the top down spend the rest of their sorry lives locked away in a prison….I will never feel safe again until they pay for what they have done and what they tried to do, and what they continue to do.
Our so called Democracy is ALREADY in the past. The day the COWARDLY DRAFT DODGER THIEF trump said he could shoot a person on 5th Avenue and never be charged with a crime I knew we lost or nation. That statement alone tells you our nation had become a Facist State. Trump knew right then he OWNED the USA. When no law enforcement put up any resistance to trump's supporters attempting an overthrow of the elected government I knew we now have a Dictatorship NOT a Democracy. Had trump not chickened out when he didn't go with his people to the Capitol Building Biden would NOT be President today. That was a major miscalculation on trump's part. We will know very shortly if there is ANY CHANCE of bringing back Democracy to the USA. The midterms will tell us if trump becomes the Hitler of the USA or a jailed insurrectionist . My bet is trump has ALREADY won. This is the turning point for citizens of the USA. Are we going to continue on towards total Dictatorship or will we start back towards our form of Democracy?
Amen 🙏💙🇺🇸🇺🇦
I'd like them to serve no less than 5 years, and then the rest of their lives spending no less than 40 hours a week community service.
Your democracy *is* torn apart. But then again, that's a worldwide phenomenon.
@@Sagethis Take a hike, bozo. *Noone* asked for your silly opinion.
Pence seem like this was his last stand, like at the Alamo. I respect this man for doing the right thing, against emormous odds.
Mike Pence was the only presidential image in that administration even if only because of how he conducted himself in the discharge of his duties that day.
You can't be serious. Just because he says batshiz crazy crap with a furrowed brow & weighted tone you think it's not BS. Man, how quickly people forgets he was a yes-man for ALL of Trump's worst instincts.
Presidential? Pff, only if you like people lying to your face.
Yeah, right!
Yes, on that single day ONLY.
Pence knew that tRump should not be the President and he had 4 years of proof..... He had to do the right thing for the United States of America and himself... enough is enough.... Wow it came this close to losing our country to a dictator.... How is CPAC going to install a fascist Government from this day forward , if we think for one moment that the Orange fruit acted alone on this Coup D'Etat .... well then we are fools ... this coward would not go to vietam for this country .... he is not standing alone in his attempt to install a dictatorship here..... he is a puppet for CPAC and who are these people?
I still wouldn't vote for him, but he did the right thing Jan 6. He was completely wrong all the way up to Jan 6, but at least he wised up when it counted.
The fact this was even an option or being discussed is insane. This should never have happened. This is a crime and a travesty. I hope people are held accountable.
They won't be. Welcome to pre nuclear war times because of them.
Hope in one hand and poop in the other. See which one fills up faster. It's a sad State of Affairs.
AND THE MAN WITH A 600,000 BODY COUNT FOR THE WAY HE HANDLED COVID IS, STILL TRYING TO WEDGE HIS FAT, PSYCHOTIC, LYING A** BACK IN THE WHITEHOUSE. RAISE A GLASS (FILLED WITH BLEACH) TO A SICK, DEMENTIA LOADED POS WHO WANTS TO BE A DICTATOR AND RULE/RUN OUR LIVES.
The real travesty is that America now has the Biden administration.
ABSOLUTE INSANITY!
Chilling. I wish all Americans would watch this.
Itsnot working.
Share to those you know
Dynamite... wow. How did I never know this before? Amazing stuff.
It would only take one Trump loyalist in that car with Pence, on his security detail, to bring about a state funeral for him. That’s how disloyal subordinates are made into glorious martyrs in coups all over the world.
Those six words may have saved his life.
Exactly! I wonder how he got the idea they might want him dead? Who actually erected the gallows? Who began "Hang Mike Pence" chant?
Very possible imo
🐑
that was exactly what i heard early on, that Pence did not trust the driver.
Amen. 🙏
Also what has happened to the "distruction " of the phone records . ACCIDENTLY on purpose .
what about the
REPUBLICANS
PHONE RECORDS ?
MTG
BOEBERT
GAETZ
HAWLEY
JORDAN
GOEMERT
COMER
all of their records were
DELETED & phones disappeared
You have to really go out of your way to make things disappear like that.
Josh Hawley, that maggot is creepier than ever, mostly because he is so incredibly submissive to Trump
This interpretation makes sense. I can't help but wonder how the founders of our nation would deal with these treasonous acts?
Pence is old enough to still remember the look of the embassy evacuation during the fall of Saigon.
Well, they conducted their own treasonous coup themselves so..
Who knows? Lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He would have been hung by now if this happened in George Washington times. Treason?! I'm shocked he's still free, prob lining it up so Rep shoot themselves in the foot right before the election. Don't go e the people time to forget, or let them primary in all the criminals and then lock them up right after. Lol. Only silver lining.
14th Amendment, Section 3
In actuality Washington faced a situation between Yorktown and the treaty of Paris in 1784.His soldiers where going to march on Philadelphia and demand there pay .He sentenced several to death caused he wanted the government and the military to be separate
