Join us for a conversation with Liz Cheney, former member of US Congress and chair the House Republican Conference, for a conversation with Jonathan Karl about the future of democracy and the Republican party — and her new book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning.
To protect our nation and preserve our freedom, the framers required the President and all members of Congress to swear a solemn oath to the Constitution. In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including other Republican officials, intentionally breached that oath: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol. Oath and Honor is a memoir of these dramatic, history-changing events, and an inspirational call to action. It is a warning — at a moment when the threat has not passed — about the fragility of our constitutional republic and what is required to defend and sustain it. Cheney’s book explains exactly what is at stake in 2024, and why no president who did what Donald Trump did can ever be given a second term.
Hear her discuss her remarkable career, our perilous moment in history, untold stories from the halls of Congress, and more.
