| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Before we get started, I just want to encourage everyone here. Watch the select |
| 0:05.8 | committee on January 6th hearings. I think it is an important historical record of one of the |
| 0:12.0 | worst days in our country's history. And I think it's important that you are able to see for yourselves |
| 0:17.2 | just what happened on that day. Who was responsible and that you can share that information with |
| 0:22.7 | your friends and your family and your colleagues when they say none of it matters. Every bit of it |
| 0:28.0 | matters. I hope you'll tune in. I hope you'll find all of our content. Ask us questions. And now on |

| 0:42.8 | Welcome back to the Lincoln Project. I'm your host, Ray Galen. Today, I'm once again joined by |

| 1:22.5 | prime time. This week, they did it at 10 o'clock in the morning. Bill Steppian, the campaign |
| 1:27.5 | manager for Donald Trump was supposed to appear had a family emergency at the last second. A lot of |
| 1:32.2 | people making jokes turns out his wife is having a baby. They still had him on tape. But the one |
| 1:37.6 | thing I recognized, Trigview, is that there's really two kinds of people here. They're the people who |
| 1:43.2 | are afraid of talking to federal investigators, whether or not that's congressional or the justice |
| 1:48.2 | department. And they're taking the fifth. And then there's just about everybody else from the |
| 1:53.9 | aforementioned Bill Steppian, Jason Miller, Jared and Ivanka, who all appear to be wanting to |
| 2:00.4 | tell some version as close to the truth as they can get, because they obviously don't want to be |
