>> THE SELECT COMMITTEE >> THE SELECT COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING THE JANUARY OFth ATTACK ON THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL WILL BE IN ORDER. WITHOUT OBJECTION, THE CHAIR IS AUTHORIZED TO DECLARE THE COMMITTEE IN RECESS A AT ANY POINT. PURR SUBT TO HOUSE DEPOSITION AUTHORITY REGULATION 10, THE CHAIR ANNOUNCES THE COMMITTEE'S APPROVAL TO RELEASE THE DEPOSITION MATERIAL PRESENTED DURING TODAY'S HEARING. GOOD AFTERNOON. WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE MOST BASIC WAY TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, THERE'S A PHRASE THAT ALWAYS COMES TO MIND. IT MAY SOUND STRAIGHT FORWARD, BUT IT'S MEANINGFUL. WE SETTLE OUR DIFFERENCES AT THE BALLOT BOX. SOMETIMES MY CHOICE PREVAILS. SOMETIMES YOURS DOES. BUT IT'S THAT SIMPLE. WE CAST OUR VOTES. WE COUNT THE VOTES. IF SOMETHING SEEMS OFF WITH THE RESULTS, WE CAN CHALLENGE THEM IN COURT. THEN WE ACCEPT THE RESULTS. WHEN YOU'RE ON THE LOSING SIDE, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE HAPPY ABOUT IT. IN THE UNITED STATES, THERE'S PLENTY YOU CAN DO AND SAY SO. YOU CAN PROTEST. YOU CAN ORGANIZE. YOU CAN GET READY FOR THE NEXT ELECTION TO TRY TO MAKE SURE YOUR SIDE HAS A BETTER CHANCE THE NEXT TIME THE PEOPLE SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES AT THE BALLOT BOX. BUT YOU CAN'T TURN VIOLENT. IT CAN'T TRY TO ACHIEVE YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME THROUGH FORCE OR HARASSMENT OR INTIMIDATION. ANY REAL LEADER WHO SEES THEIR SUPPORTERS GOING DOWN THAT PATH APPROACHING THAT LINE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO SAY STOP. WE GAVE IF OUR BEST. WE CAME UP SHORT. WE TRY AGAIN NEXT TIME. BECAUSE WE SETTLED OUR DIFFERENCE DIFFERENCES AT THE BALLOT BOX. ON DECEMBER 14th, 2020, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS OFFICIALLY OVER. ELECTORAL COLLEGE HAD CAST ITS VOTE. "MORNING JOE" WAS THE PRESIDENT-ELECT VOTE MANY SUPPORTERS WERE ALREADY CONVINCED THAT THE ELECTION HAD BEEN STOLEN. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAD BEEN TELLING THEM. SO WHAT DONALD TRUMP WAS REQUIRED TO DO IN THAT MOMENT, WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED OF ANY AMERICAN LEADER WAS TO SAY WE DID OUR BEST. WE CAME UP SHORT. HE WENT THE OPPOSITE WAY. HE SEIZED ON THE ANGER HE HAD ALREADY STOKED AMONG THE SUPPORTERS AND AS THEY APPROACHED THE LINE, HE DIDN'T WAVE THEM OFF. HE URGED THEM ON. TODAY THE COMMITTEE WILL EXPLAIN HOW AS A PART OF HIS LAST-DITCH EFFORT TO OVERTURN THE ELECTION AND BLOCK THE TRANSFER OF POWER, DONALD TRUMP SUMMONED A MOB TO WASHINGTON, D.C. AND SPURRED THAT MOB TO WAGE A VIOLENT AON OUR DEMOCRACY. OUR COLLEAGUES, MS. MURPHY OF FLORIDA AND MR. RASKIN OF MARYLAND WILL LAY OUT THE STORY. FIRST, I'M PLEASED TO RECOGNIZE OUR DISTINGUISHED VICE CHAIR MS. CHENEY OF WYOMING FOR ANY OPENING COMMENTS SHE'D CARE TO OFFER. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN. OUR COMMITTEE DID NOT CONDUCT A HEARING LAST WEEK, BUT WE DID CONDUCT AN ON THE RECORD INTERVIEW OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S FORMER WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL PAT CIPOLLONE.
