stanford. all this before age 34 when gonzalez felt called to run for congress. >> i got into this because, look, my family came here from cuba. my father's family came here from cuba. we come from a country that has fallen. we come from a failed nation, and we've seen what happens when the rule of law is dismantled, when a strongman is allowed to take hold and democratic norms cease to exist. >> and now the conservative republican has a warning for all of us about what trump and his minions tried to do when they tried to steal the election. >> this country has been through a lot. we've fought through it, and we've persevered. as much as i despise almost every policy of the biden administration, the country can survive around a bad policy. the country can't survive torching the constitution. that's the one thing the country can't survive.

the top aid. >> there's so much talk about the memo that john eastman wrote and he was just an outside lawyer but meadows is forwarding a document that outlines the effort to essentially have a coup, a document written by a lawyer on the trump campaign payroll. >> publicly pence raises the hopes of trump supporters, telling one georgia rally -- >> we'll have our day in congress. we'll hear the objections. we'll hear the evidence. >> pence reached out to others to see if there was someway he could carry out this unconstitutional move, including, according to "washington post" journalist bob woodward and rob costa fellow hoosier dan quayle who convinced pence he had no constitutional power to throw out the election. also reported by woodward and costa was steve bannon's role in pushing the plan. on a phone call with the president, bannon said, quote, you got to call pence and get him back here today.
