The House select committee investigating the Capitol insurrection continued on Thursday, detailing how former President Donald Trump tried to pressure his vice president to join in his scheme to overturn the presidential election — and how Mike Pence’s refusal put his life in danger as rioters called for his hanging on Jan. 6, 2021.
“Mike Pence was 40 feet away from almost certain death,” Michael Medved, host of the Michael Medved Show, said on the Gee and Ursula Show on KIRO Newsradio. “Some of the the videos that they played about people who were very determined to kill Mike Pence, the fact that they now have an individual, a spy basically, who had penetrated the Proud Boys who said, yes, there was definitely a plan to kill Pence or Pelosi.
“I think it’s going to be harder and harder for people to defend what happened on January 6,” Medved continued.
According to witness testimony, Pence himself and the lawyer who concocted the scheme advised Trump directly that the plan was unconstitutional and violated federal law. Committee members argued that this shows Trump’s corrupt intentions and could lay the groundwork for a potential indictment.
“All of this, I think, is decreasing the likelihood that Donald Trump would have some kind of cakewalk to the Republican nomination,” Medved said. “I think it’s going to be a big struggle for him. And of course, like many Americans and many Republicans, I hope for the sake of the country and the party, that he decides not to run.”
Medved stressed the uncertainties the future of the Republican Party may have if the focus remains on the belief that there was fraud in the election process.
He went to law school with the Clinton’s and was friends with Hillary.
He wrote the great “Hollywood vs America” of 1991.
In it he stated he was a liberal.
He seemed to go conservative after that.
But perhaps never truly lost all his liberalism.
Yeah, about the same time he didn’t like it when people called McCain a RINO.
Glenn Schmeck
Yuk
And a great plan it was too because it was drawn up by the SpecOps folks in the FBI, the same guys who plotted to kidnap Gov. Gretchen - overlooking the fact that no sane person would want to do that. How do you know they are insane - they think that want to kidnap Gretchen.
Like Pence - he is not worth martyrdom. I hear he is running for President [of the United States in case you are wondering]. He will find out how Bush league Republican he is when he gets results that rival Jeb.
He was, he was also a frequent fill-in host for Rush back in the '90's
I remember his debates with lefties. They lost.
You're right, this is genuinely sad.
Michael Medved is not a conservative. He is more liberal than the late John McCain. He’s always attacking the right.
I think this moron just lost his last two listeners.
And his shows are not very interesting... No new ideas, no insights, no reason to listen.
Medved is a snake.
Medved the voice of the bush era GOP…
Didn’t know he still had a show.
Medved has always been a Bush League apologist for Assistant Democrats.
I thought he did movie reviews.....
I thought Medved was some Russian dude when Obama was Prez.

We all know that spies never lie, especially paid ones. They have no rea$on to make up a$$a$$ination claim$ to in$ure payment for their $urveillance report, the more damaging the better.
Never heard of him. He from the Ukraine or something?
I remember Michael Medved.
