era of a second lost cause. once again, there are some in this country trying to turn a loss into a lie, a lie, which if allowed to live, will bring terrible damage to this country. this time, the lie is about the 2020 election. joining us now here on set is congressman adam schiff, a democrat of california. congressman, it's really nice to have you here in person. thank you for coming in. >> good to be with you. >> it's good to see you. president biden -- i think, i don't know, but i think not necessarily by his own choice but by necessity, is focusing his campaign on threats to democracy. you very famously have made that case to the american public yourself in your role in the impeachment and the january 6th investigation. what do you make of this strategic call by the president? >> i think it's bourne of necessity. we are at a really fragile point in the history of our country and the history of our democracy. you talked in the opening discussion about the state of our two-party system.

has spent too much time promoting the botna conemaugh. do you agree now is the time for the campaign to start focusing on trump and maga? >> i don't know, i'm not in charge of the biden campaign. but one thing i did learn, in the january 6th investigation, is that when trump says something, hit mains to do it. it's not just words, it's his intent. and here is what he said. he said, his words not mine, that he intends to terminate parts of the constitution. he has said that he intends to eliminate the civil service and replace it with political appointees who will do whatever he wants. he has said that he intends to have the department of justice go after his political enemies. if that isn't an authoritarian government, i don't know what would be.
