DONALD TRUMP HAS OFFICIALLY
RESCINDED HIS ENDORSEMENT FOR
CONGRESSMAN, MOE BROOKS, IN
RESPONSE, BROOKS IS NOW COMING
FORTH WITH WHAT HE SAYS HE
KNOWS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP'S PLOT
TO UNDERMINE AND OVERTURN
DEMOCRACY AS WE KNOW.
IT TODAY, BROOKS RELEASES A MAN
SAYING IN PART, DONALD TRUMP
ASKED HIM TO RESCIND THE 2020
ELECTION, PUT TRUMP BACK IN THE
OFFICE AND HOLD ANOTHER
ELECTION.
NBC CORRESPONDENT SPOKE TO
BROOKS ON THE PHONE AND TALK
ABOUT THIS REMARKABLE CLAIMS.
>> DID HE DIRECTLY TELL YOU TO
FIGHT TO DECERTIFY THE ELECTION,
THE 2020 ELECTION?
>> HE DID NOT USE THE WORD
DECERTIFY.
HE USED THE WORD RECENT.
>> WE SEND.
WHAT DID THAT MEAN TO?
>> WELL, I'M A LAWYER.
RECENT MEANS THAT YOU RENDER IT
NULL AND VOID.
>> DO YOU GUYS HAVE THE POWER
TO DO THAT IN CONGRESS?
>> NO.
>> AND THEN IMMEDIATELY REMOVE
JOE BIDEN, I GUESS, THAT WOULD
BE THROUGH IMPEACHMENT?
>> THROUGH THE DECISION OF THE
ELECTION RESULTS.
>> GOT IT.
AND DID HE SAY THAT HE WANTED
CONGRESS TO IMMEDIATELY PUT HIM
BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE?
>> OKAY, YOU'RE USING THE WORD
CONGRESS.
MY STATEMENT DOESN'T SAY
CONGRESS.
WE NEVER GOT THAT FAR BECAUSE I
EXPLAINED TO THE PRESIDENT THAT
WHAT HE ASKED IS LEGALLY
IMPOSSIBLE AND VIOLENCE THE
NIGHT STATES CONSTITUTION AND
I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.
>> SO, HOW DID HE WANT YOU TO
PUT HIM BACK INTO THE WHITE
HOUSE?
>> THROUGH A RESCINDING OF THE
2020 ELECTIONS.
>> AND THEN HE REQUESTED A VIEW
TO CREATE A NEW SPECIAL
ELECTION FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
>> WELL, THAT WOULD BE A
NATURAL FOLLOW-UP TO THE
RESCINDING OF THE ELECTION.
>> DID HE DIRECTLY SAY THAT
THERE SHOULD BE A NEW SPECIAL
ELECTION FOR THE PRESIDENCY?
>> IN ONE OF THE CONVERSATIONS
HE MENTIONED HAVING A
SUBSEQUENT ELECTION FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.
>> AND THIS WAS AFTER THIS
LABOR DAY?
>> AFTER SEPTEMBER 1ST OF 2021.
>> ON HILLYARD, WHO --
GREAT WORK, BOND.
TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF
THIS.
SO, A FEW THINGS HERE.
>> WE DON'T STUDY THIS IN
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
>> WE HAVE TO START THEIR.
RIGHT?
THE ASK ISN'T CLAY PLANE
ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL,
BUT NOT REALLY SENSIBLE IN THE
SENSE OF, THERE IS NO PLAUSIBLE
MECHANISM FOR THE THING THAT
HE'S ASKING.
>> RIGHT.
I THINK MOE BROOKS WAS TRYING
TO CONVEY THEIR'S OWN
CONVERSATIONS OR DONALD TRUMP.
WHICH I PUT EIGHT MONTHS ON
JANUARY 2021, WHEN DONALD TRUMP
SO THE WHITE HOUSE HERE.
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, MOE
BRICKS, WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT
MORE BRICKS?
THIS IS THE MAN, THE ASTONISHED
ESTABLISHED A LIVE DONALD TRUMP,
JUST MOMENTS BEFORE THAT
ELECTION, STOOD ON THAT STAGE
OF THE SO-CALLED, SAVE AMERICA
RALLY.
SPOKEN TO THAT MICROPHONE.
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT AMERICAN
PATRIOTS START TAKING DOWN
NAMES AND TAKING ADS.
THIS IS MEN THAT DONALD TRUMP,
BY RESIGNING HIS ENDORSEMENT,
THREW OFF OF HIS SHIP.
>> ALSO, THE IDEA THAT ...
LOOK.
WE KNOW TRUMP REFUSED TO ELECT,
YOU KNOW, EXCEPT THE FREE AND
FAIR ELECTION, RIGHT?
THAT HE PROMOTED THE BIG LIE.
THAT HE WORKED EVERY ANGLE
POSSIBLE TO FORESTALL THE
PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER.
INCLUDING TALKING TO THEM UP,
SENDING HIM TOWARDS THE
CAPITAL.
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING FROM THIS
IS THAT HE IS ACTIVELY, AS OF
LABOR DAY, LIKE, ACTIVELY, NOW,
ATTEMPTING TO RETURN TO PEOPLE IN POWER TO INSTALL HIM NOW.
IN POWER TO INSTALL HIM NOW.
♪ ♪
SO, DID GET JOE BIDEN OUT OF
OFFICE AND DO THE SO-CALLED
SUBSEQUENT SPECIAL HERE.
THAT IS WHY THIS IS MORE THAN
JANUARY 2021 WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
THIS IS A POLITICAL ACTIVE
MACHINE HERE.
DONALD TRUMP'S SUPER PAC HAS
MORE THAN $110 MILLION, MORE
THAN THE DNC AND RNC COMBINED
HERE.
THIS IS A MAN WHO STILL
ESSENTIALLY RUNS THIS
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
THERE IS NO WIDESPREAD DISSENT
OR UPRISING HERE AND HE'S ON
HIS WAY TO WIN THE NOMINATION
AGAIN.
THIS IS WHY IT GOES BEYOND
JANUARY 2024.
THE BIG QUESTION IS HERE, IF
YOU ARE THROWING OFF AN ALLY
LIKE BROOKS, ARE YOU
POTENTIALLY OVERPLAYING YOUR
HAND HERE?
HE IS TRYING TO --
PRIMARY CHALLENGERS, NINE
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN AND
WOMEN HERE.
AT SOME POINT, TO SOME OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS IN THE MONTHS AHEAD
LOOK TO PENCE OR OTHERS TO SAY,
WE KNOW WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS
FOR SIX YEARS, BUT ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH.
>> AND WE SHOULD BE CLEAR, --
WE'RE SENDING NO BOOKS IS
SOMETHING THAT BOOK SAID MONTHS
AGO.
IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT HE BACKED
THE WRONG HORSE IN THE PRIMARY
AND THE ENDORSEMENT IS NOT --
>> WHERE IS HIS INFLUENCE?
THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S THING.
HE USUALLY PICKS WINNERS.
RIGHT?
BUT NOW TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE
PRIMARY, HIS CANDIDATE APPEARS
TO BE A LOSER.
HE IS NOW THIRD IN SEVERAL
POLLS HERE.
AND RIGHT BEFORE A POTENTIAL --
HIS POTENTIAL CANDIDATE --
DOESN'T EVEN MAKE THE RUNOFF,
HE IS RESCINDING HIS
ENDORSEMENT HERE.
AND THAT IS WHERE I BRING UP
OVERPLAYING THE HAND, HE'S HAD
SEVERAL ENDORSEMENTS.
IN 2022, IF HE'S NOT ABLE TO
PROVE IF THOSE REPUBLICANS,
WHEN HE GOES INTO ALABAMA AND
TELLS REPUBLICAN VOTERS, BUT
FOR MY GUY, AND THEY SAY, SORRY,
WE APPRECIATE YOU BUT WE ARE
NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR YOUR GUY,
