This is the Tom Harbin program.

Welcome back, Tom Harbin here with you.

People are kind of ringing their hands right now, particularly in the wake of Donald Trump's

phone call to Rapson Perger on Saturday, where he basically threatened him with criminal

action if he didn't flip the election, named the number of votes he wanted at Rapson

Perger to find and certify, and also tried flattering him and begging.

I mean, the whole transcripts over at the Washington Post, it's pretty grim.

And prior to this coming out, there were a dozen senators, Republicans all, of course,

who were saying, we're going to challenge the vote on January 6th.

We're going to challenge the vote, and we're on Donald's side here.

Or at the very least, we think that this fraud should be a, you know, Ted Cruz coming

out saying, well, yeah, but between now and the swearing end day, we have plenty of time,

we can do it and investigate, right?

So people are like, you know, what's going to happen to these people and why are they

doing this?

And, you know, the main excuse that I've heard, and I've probably heard this a hundred

times over the last couple of days on various news channels on TV, is that these people

are doing this because they're afraid of Donald Trump.

They're afraid that they're going to get primaried.

They're afraid of the consequences.

They need his support to hold onto their base.

These kinds of stories.
