| 0:00.0 | Hey gang, it's Reid. This is a special presentation of the fourth public hearing from the House Select |
| 0:04.9 | Committee on January 6, which originally aired on Tuesday, June 21, 2022. We're re-broadcasting |
| 0:12.1 | this hearing because at the Lincoln Project, we know that it is imperative for the future of our |
| 0:16.4 | nation's democracy, that the findings of this committee are heard by as many Americans as possible, |
| 0:21.6 | whether it's by way of live television, watching an online stream, or in this case, by listening to |
| 0:26.5 | it as a podcast. And without further ado, here's the House Select Committee on January 6th. |
| 0:33.2 | The Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States capital will be in order. |
| 0:40.0 | Without objection, the chair is authorized to declare the committee and recess at any point. |

| 1:37.3 | of Donald Trump's scheme to overturn the election. In fact, pressuring public servants into betraying |
| 1:44.8 | their oaths was a fundamental part of the playbook and a handful of election officials in several key |
| 1:52.8 | states stood between Donald Trump and the upending of American democracy. As we began today, |
| 2:01.5 | it's important to remember when we count the votes for President, we count the votes state by state. |
| 2:08.4 | For the most part, the candidates who win the popular vote in a state wins all the states' electoral |
| 2:16.3 | college votes, and whoever wins the majority of the electoral college votes wins the presidency. |
