Description

The January 6 Committee says it will show how Trump’s pressure campaign on Mike Pence to refuse to certify the legitimate 2020 election result ‘directly contributed’ to the Capitol attack. That, as the panel plays a video showing GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk giving a Capitol tour on January 5 to a man seen threatening lawmakers the next day, screaming, “We're coming in like white on rice for Pelosi, Nadler, Schumer, even you AOC. We're coming to take you out. We'll pull you out by your hairs”.

A recession in the US is inevitable within the next two-years according to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who joins Don to discuss his prediction. Plus, President Biden signs an executive order on LGBTQ rights to combat laws passed by GOP-led state legislatures, including protecting children from conversion therapy. And, the mother of an alleged ‘patriot front’ group member speaks out after her son’s arrest for conspiracy to riot at a Pride event in Idaho and the emotional ultimatum she had to give him.
