and it shows -- it's an eyewitness account of how they prepared an assault on democracy and how this has only escalated since then. and of course it's also a story that is the beginning of what might happen in november, the looming threat of chaos come november. >> and so you think this could happen once again. >> well, i -- i'm surprised you ask this question. i think it's obvious to anyone. i know you have followed it very closely and have asked a lot of the difficult questions. but it has only escalated. i think that's very transparent to everyone. and i think in terms of the film, it was interesting to hear earlier on your show former governor branstad talk about

these rallies that he has? >> well, first of all, they had a good relationship until xi jinping lied to him about covid. and that soured the whole situation. prior to that, we were working well and we -- you know, we got the phase one trade agreement. that was good. it's made a real difference for our farmers and for our manufacturers. but the chinese mishandled the cove situation, and it became a worldwide pandemic. and i think trump has never forgiven him for what they did, and rightly so. i just don't feel that was handled right. and we had people at the embassy in beijing that could have helped them. but they would not return our phone calls. >> all right. governor branstad, thank you very much for your time, mr. ambassador. more news straight ahead. stay with us. >> thank you. >> thank you.

6th, there's another point i just want to make -- i'm sorry if i'm jumping. but governor branstad talked to you about -- he started criticizing the media and the coverage. and another very important lesson for me in this process -- i'm seeing this from an outside perspective. but i was there on january 6 at the capitol and standing -- i was immersed with the stop the steal movement. so i was looking from their side over to where all the reporters were standing, seeing how they were physically attacked by trump supporters. so, that rhetoric, i mean, all of this rhetoric should be taken very seriously. for me, that was a shocking moment. and i'm actually surprised to hear governor branstad address it and keep pushing that agenda, when we have seen the serious cou consequences we did on january 6th. >> indeed. we'll be looking for your film

you think about that. >> if you look at the history of endorsements in iowa they don't go very far. i actually was on the staff of bob dole in '95 and '96. 95% of all the republicans state legislators, then governor branstad, senator grassley endorsed mr. dole and in spite of that he only won the caucuses by three percentage points and then look at eight years, then governor branstad vote for anybody except for ted cruz because of the ethanol thing that didn't mean anything. the one you just mentioned if you look at the iowa poll, 13% said it was a good endorsement, 13% said it was not a good endorsement. 74% said it didn't really matter at the end of the day i think that iowans may think a lot on a lot of the issues across the board, but they want to make their own decision who they're going to support in the iowa caucuses. neil: do the candidates talk to you. >> what's that. neil: and say, please, please, consider me?
