about them and curry favor with them and a lot of companies have decided it is easier for them to pretend that this effort to overturn this election, this violent insurrection, never happened. the risk to democracy is very real. it is continuing today. not only is it bad for the american people if we lose a functioning democracy, it's also bad for business if you do not have stability. if any company can be retaliated against because a powerful leader doesn't like anything they did. in the long-term, it should be in these industry groups interest to promote democracy. we are trying to remind them of that and make sure the american people are aware of this. >> these companies say it's the price of doing business. we donate to everyone, but not everyone resumed their
