Excerpts from the Interview:
JOHN DICKERSON: You say, Donald Trump, if he is re-elected, it will be the end of the Republic. What do you mean?
Rep. Liz Cheney has expressed her concerns about the actions of Donald Trump and his collaborators. She believes that Trump's plans cannot be executed without the help of others, and Mike Johnson is one such collaborator. Cheney argues that Johnson is fully aware that his actions are wrong, but he is willing to please Trump at the expense of the country's well-being.
During an interview, John Dickerson asked Cheney if she believes the Speaker of the House is collaborating to overthrow the last election, to which Cheney responded affirmatively.
