00:00And now I want to talk about another possible assassination attempt, and I'll start by showing

00:05a video of President Biden, and this is from recently.

00:09This is in the last month, if we can play that.

00:13Gallows erected to hang the vice president, Mike Pence.

00:17I think it's fair to say it's one of the darkest days in the history of America.

00:21Okay, and he's referring to January 6th.

00:25Were there gallows erected to hang Mike Pence, as the president says here?

00:32I'm not aware of any physical gallows.

00:35I can't remember whether from a demonstration perspective, there may not have been some

00:42kind of replica or symbol of something like that.

00:45That's my impression.

00:46Can we show, can you raise that up so you can see it?

00:50It looks like there was some kind of prop that was built.

00:55The construction doesn't look like it lends itself to actually hanging somebody.

01:00It's more of a prop, I think, as you suggested, that was erected on January 6th.

01:06But if the president were correct, that these gallows were erected to hang Mike Pence, that

01:12would be a very serious allegation, wouldn't it?

01:16I would take it very seriously, yes.

01:19Has anybody been arrested, or do you have any leads in conjunction with the erection

01:24of this gallows?

01:26We had a picture here on the screen, if you can show it again.

01:30It was just up there.

01:32There's an individual here, he was seen near these gallows.

01:37Has he been arrested?

01:38Have you identified this person?

01:41You know, I don't know that I can speak to this specific person or the gallows that are

01:47pictured on the image.

01:48We have had, I think, 850 people who have pled guilty to federal crimes related to January

01:556th.

01:56And I think, you know, another 180, I think it is, convicted at trials.

02:02So I just, I can't be sure.

02:04And some of them merely for going into the Capitol.

02:07But here, the president suggests that individual intended to hang Vice President Pence, which

02:14is, seems like kind of a wild claim myself, given the construction of those gallows.

02:20But if we are to take him seriously, or even if we aren't, we're, let me just finish by

02:26saying this.

02:27If you have no leads, or you're not sure if anybody who erected those gallows was arrested

02:31or is being investigated, you know, were there any confidential human sources involved from

02:42the FBI or any other agency in the erection of that prop, those gallows?

02:47I'm not aware of anything like that.

02:48All right.

02:50I yield back.
