us your host, Olivia happy to

How’s it going?
7
00:00:45,900 –> 00:00:50,000
Happy New Year, how’s it going?
Oh, it’s going.
8
00:00:50,000 –> 00:00:54,100
Okay, I miss you saying that
it’s good, you know.
9
00:00:54,300 –> 00:00:57,500
No, I’m sick, but I’m almost not
sick.
10
00:00:57,500 –> 00:01:01,500
So, that’s the important thing.
That’s one of the best phases of
11
00:01:01,500 –> 00:01:05,200
being sick is the almost not
sick, but still sick enough that
12
00:01:05,200 –> 00:01:08,900
you can be like, hey, I’m sick,
fuck off, right?
13
00:01:08,900 –> 00:01:13,800
Yeah like I’m not like actively
in misery but I can like have a
14
00:01:13,800 –> 00:01:16,900
valid excuse to tell people.
I don’t want to do stuff but
15
00:01:16,900 –> 00:01:19,400
nonetheless here we are working
on New Year’s Day.
16
00:01:19,700 –> 00:01:23,500
I didn’t realize this is like
the officially observed New
17
00:01:23,500 –> 00:01:24,900
Year’s Day.
I I thought they were just going
18
00:01:24,900 –> 00:01:27,300
to observe it on Sunday but what
do you mean?
19
00:01:27,800 –> 00:01:31,300
This is like literally yeah.
This is like officially
20
00:01:31,400 –> 00:01:35,400
everyone’s day off.
Right except us because we have
21
00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:38,400
well that’s yeah that’s how it
usually is when the holiday
22
00:01:38,400 –> 00:01:43,500
lands on like a Sunday.
Yeah so we’re recording this
23
00:01:43,600 –> 00:01:48,300
with a pretty big anniversary
looming at the end of the week.
24
00:01:48,400 –> 00:01:52,000
January 6th.
It’s going to be the two year
25
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:56,000
anniversary of the The capital
riots.
26
00:01:56,200 –> 00:01:58,500
Yeah, crazy.
That it’s been two years.
27
00:01:58,600 –> 00:02:02,000
I know like obviously time
passes or whatever fuck you but
28
00:02:02,000 –> 00:02:05,100
like I it’s just nuts that it’s
been two years since that
29
00:02:05,100 –> 00:02:06,400
happened.
It feels like.
30
00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:09,600
I mean, it feels like both
yesterday and an eternity ago,
31
00:02:09,600 –> 00:02:12,900
so yeah, it does feel like it
was.
32
00:02:13,100 –> 00:02:15,600
Yeah, you’re right.
Both longer and shorter.
33
00:02:16,200 –> 00:02:18,800
Yeah.
And we’re talking about the
34
00:02:18,800 –> 00:02:24,700
January 6th committee this week
because conveniently just Right
35
00:02:24,700 –> 00:02:28,700
on the verge of the two-year
anniversary of the capital
36
00:02:28,700 –> 00:02:31,000
riots.
The January 6 committee is
37
00:02:31,000 –> 00:02:35,600
finally putting out their final
report releasing their findings.
38
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:39,200
They’ve done all of that and
we’re going to talk about it.
39
00:02:39,200 –> 00:02:44,300
I don’t know how comfortable I
am with all of this happening
40
00:02:44,500 –> 00:02:47,300
right up against the
anniversary.
41
00:02:47,300 –> 00:02:48,400
Yeah.
II.
42
00:02:48,400 –> 00:02:51,300
Guess.
I mean, it just makes me feel
43
00:02:51,300 –> 00:02:53,300
like you’re something may just
gonna have it on the
44
00:02:53,300 –> 00:02:55,300
anniversary.
Yeah, I don’t know.
45
00:02:55,300 –> 00:02:59,100
Yeah I mean nothing happened on
the anniversary last year so
46
00:02:59,100 –> 00:03:00,900
right?
I don’t think there’s anything
47
00:03:00,900 –> 00:03:03,800
special about the two-year
anniversary.
48
00:03:04,300 –> 00:03:09,900
That would cause a repeat of it
except word coming down that
49
00:03:10,200 –> 00:03:15,900
like Trump won’t be allowed to
run for office anymore or Trump
50
00:03:15,900 –> 00:03:19,600
getting arrested.
I don’t really that would happen
51
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:21,500
this.
Yeah, but like yeah, none of
52
00:03:21,500 –> 00:03:23,800
that’s happening.
This week is the thing like,
53
00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:26,800
even though, So, like obviously
there’s been a lot of
54
00:03:27,000 –> 00:03:31,400
Revelations and discussions from
the report, like that’s a, how
55
00:03:31,400 –> 00:03:35,200
fast the the federal government
moves, right?
56
00:03:35,200 –> 00:03:39,500
Not usually this would be the
one time where it’s an exception
57
00:03:39,800 –> 00:03:40,900
and they’re like Chuck.
Yeah.
58
00:03:40,900 –> 00:03:44,600
Rest them on January 5th.
It’s like man, wait till the 8th
59
00:03:44,700 –> 00:03:48,500
come on, I mean, sure, I don’t
know.
60
00:03:48,500 –> 00:03:51,000
Like, if people are gonna do
shit, they’re gonna do shit.
61
00:03:51,000 –> 00:03:55,000
I don’t think they mean and also
I feel like And maybe I’m
62
00:03:55,000 –> 00:03:59,200
totally mistreating this, I
could totally just be wrong, but
63
00:03:59,200 –> 00:04:02,900
it feels like most of the people
on the right.
64
00:04:02,900 –> 00:04:07,800
Aren’t like happy about January.
It doesn’t feel like a thing
65
00:04:07,800 –> 00:04:11,800
that they want would want to
celebrate or commemorate.
66
00:04:11,900 –> 00:04:14,700
Its feels like they’re trying to
move past it and get to the next
67
00:04:14,700 –> 00:04:16,000
crazy thing that they’re going
to do.
68
00:04:16,300 –> 00:04:18,200
I sure, hope so, but I don’t
know.
69
00:04:18,399 –> 00:04:22,800
Yeah, either way there are a lot
of developments to talk about
70
00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:28,100
when it comes to The January 6th
committee and that’s what we’re
71
00:04:28,100 –> 00:04:29,700
going to talk about on this
episode.
72
00:04:29,700 –> 00:04:33,300
We’re going to just keep
everyone abreast of the
73
00:04:33,300 –> 00:04:35,600
situation I love saying that
that way.
74
00:04:36,100 –> 00:04:37,800
Sure.
Keep me abreast.
75
00:04:37,800 –> 00:04:39,200
Yeah.
Do we still say to me?
76
00:04:39,500 –> 00:04:41,500
Yeah I say keep me a boob of the
situation.
77
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:45,600
Give me never mind.
Like what what do you mean?
78
00:04:45,800 –> 00:04:48,800
Like it’s like a play on words
like breast boob anywhere.
79
00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:55,000
So one of the first things that
came down the January 6 Did
80
00:04:55,000 –> 00:04:59,600
recommend criminal charges
against Trump.
81
00:04:59,600 –> 00:05:04,100
They referred Trump to the
justice department for criminal
82
00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:07,900
charges for his role in the
capital Riot.
83
00:05:08,000 –> 00:05:12,000
Whether he does get charged or
not is up to the Department of
84
00:05:12,300 –> 00:05:13,800
Justice.
Yeah.
85
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:17,800
And if they go for it, this
would be the first time a former
86
00:05:17,800 –> 00:05:21,200
president would face federal
charges.
87
00:05:21,500 –> 00:05:24,500
Yeah, it’s one of those things
where it’s like, I’ll never Ever
88
00:05:24,600 –> 00:05:28,300
believe it until literally, it
happens.
89
00:05:28,400 –> 00:05:31,100
It doesn’t matter how much it
seems like that’s what’s going
90
00:05:31,100 –> 00:05:33,900
to happen.
I’ve seen him get away with too
91
00:05:33,900 –> 00:05:38,200
much for me to ever think that
he’s actually gonna get charged
92
00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:40,000
or something.
But, who knows, maybe, I’m
93
00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:43,900
wrong.
Yeah, it’s interesting how much
94
00:05:43,900 –> 00:05:47,000
of our political system?
Kind of mirrors the things that
95
00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:49,400
have been happening in Brazil
lately.
96
00:05:49,500 –> 00:05:54,000
Hmm, with especially with Jai
are Balsa, narrow Rising too,
97
00:05:54,200 –> 00:05:57,300
Our like he was, you know,
Brazilian Trump.
98
00:05:57,300 –> 00:06:01,100
Yeah, but they also had a
situation where a former
99
00:06:01,100 –> 00:06:07,200
president was charged with a
crime and like actually arrested
100
00:06:07,200 –> 00:06:11,500
and sent to prison and he was
here hugely popular.
101
00:06:11,500 –> 00:06:16,300
But the only difference is, he
was more of an Obama type,
102
00:06:16,300 –> 00:06:18,900
right?
And ball scenario is a trump
103
00:06:18,900 –> 00:06:22,100
type but that guy they call them
Lula.
104
00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:26,400
I don’t like they call him Lulu.
To the degree that I don’t even
105
00:06:26,400 –> 00:06:29,500
really know his real name.
He has one.
106
00:06:29,500 –> 00:06:34,500
He’s like, president again, he
went to prison, got out and ran
107
00:06:34,500 –> 00:06:37,700
for president, and is now their
president again.
108
00:06:37,700 –> 00:06:41,000
Good for him, you know?
Yeah, I mean, the thing he went
109
00:06:41,000 –> 00:06:44,900
to prison for was some bullshit.
We sure covered it before.
110
00:06:45,400 –> 00:06:47,900
It was one of those scandals
that involved like all
111
00:06:47,900 –> 00:06:50,700
politicians and they were just
like, oh, we can probably just
112
00:06:50,700 –> 00:06:54,000
pin it on him and send him to
prison and that’s what hasn’t
113
00:06:54,400 –> 00:06:58,300
Yeah, I know it seems unlikely
that the Department of Justice
114
00:06:58,300 –> 00:07:01,100
would charge him, but the
Attorney General did also just
115
00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:06,100
appoint a special counsel named
Jack Smith.
116
00:07:06,100 –> 00:07:10,500
If that is his real name, you
should appoint someone else.
117
00:07:10,500 –> 00:07:12,700
You should employ someone with
the real, sounding like no
118
00:07:12,700 –> 00:07:15,400
offense to Jack Smith.
I’m sure he is fine or whatever
119
00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:17,200
you might be totally evil.
I don’t know.
120
00:07:17,500 –> 00:07:20,900
But like probably, yeah, he’s
just got a fake-ass name.
121
00:07:20,900 –> 00:07:23,100
That’s a fake fucking name.
Jack Smith.
122
00:07:23,300 –> 00:07:25,700
And I know there’s Sex with you
might be a Jack Smith listening
123
00:07:25,700 –> 00:07:28,400
because the reason it’s a fake
sounding fucking name is because
124
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:30,400
there’s a lot of you
motherfuckers.
125
00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:33,400
It’s yeah.
Yes with all due apologies to
126
00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:38,100
Jack Smith’s yeah get a real or
sounding name if I mean it get
127
00:07:38,100 –> 00:07:41,400
like that’s this is the thing
Merrick Garland that’s a that’s
128
00:07:41,400 –> 00:07:44,600
a tough to make up name you know
that’s a bitchin name.
129
00:07:44,600 –> 00:07:46,400
It’s not big.
It’s a pretty good name but
130
00:07:46,400 –> 00:07:50,300
yeah, Jack Smith but he has been
appointed for this very reason
131
00:07:50,300 –> 00:07:54,000
to look into the possibility of
charging Trump over.
132
00:07:54,300 –> 00:07:58,000
The capital riots and now with
well, the January 6 committee,
133
00:07:58,000 –> 00:08:01,400
recommending charges, it could
be a thing.
134
00:08:01,400 –> 00:08:06,900
I mean, I obviously think that
Trump should face consequences
135
00:08:07,000 –> 00:08:13,100
for at least some of the
terrible things that he’s done.
136
00:08:13,700 –> 00:08:16,900
That would be nice but it’s just
one of those things.
137
00:08:17,100 –> 00:08:21,500
I’ll have to see it happen
before I can believe it.
138
00:08:21,500 –> 00:08:23,900
I don’t know.
I want to say I’m not confident.
139
00:08:24,100 –> 00:08:28,000
Ain’t that they would charge
Trump but I am I actually am
140
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:32,600
kind of confident that they’re
going to do it because well I
141
00:08:32,600 –> 00:08:37,299
mean, you gotta send the message
if nothing else but also
142
00:08:37,700 –> 00:08:43,799
charging him and him suffering
consequences aren’t necessarily
143
00:08:43,799 –> 00:08:45,900
the same thing.
Like, he could be charged and
144
00:08:45,908 –> 00:08:47,600
then come out of it.
Fine.
145
00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:49,500
Yeah.
He could be charged and also
146
00:08:49,500 –> 00:08:53,500
come out of it like more
powerful and scarier.
147
00:08:53,600 –> 00:08:56,600
Sure.
I think there is a historical
148
00:08:56,600 –> 00:09:01,700
example of a trump type pulling
some shit, and go into prison
149
00:09:01,700 –> 00:09:04,700
for it and then coming out the
other end a little bit.
150
00:09:04,700 –> 00:09:06,700
My dear, I don’t know who I’m
thinking of.
151
00:09:07,100 –> 00:09:11,900
I’m thinking of Hitler, I’m
talking about Hitler that exact.
152
00:09:11,900 –> 00:09:13,700
Yeah, but like it happened with
Hitler.
153
00:09:13,900 –> 00:09:16,700
Well, Hitler hadn’t been fuhrer,
true.
154
00:09:16,800 –> 00:09:19,800
That is slightly different.
I’ll say yes.
155
00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:23,900
It’s more like Napoleon, okay?
Yeah, either way, not great.
156
00:09:24,100 –> 00:09:25,700
Great.
Yeah, not a good thing.
157
00:09:25,700 –> 00:09:28,800
I agree.
Trump should go to prison or
158
00:09:28,800 –> 00:09:35,100
face some consequences, but also
that’s going to be a shit storm
159
00:09:35,200 –> 00:09:37,300
when it, I mean.
Yeah.
160
00:09:37,300 –> 00:09:41,900
Well there’s no good thing that
comes out of that or any sort
161
00:09:41,900 –> 00:09:44,200
of.
I mean, it has to be done.
162
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:47,700
This is the problem.
Like, it has to be done.
163
00:09:47,700 –> 00:09:50,800
Yeah, but what just it does,
that doesn’t mean that it’s
164
00:09:50,800 –> 00:09:54,400
going to end well, but it’s
something that must be On
165
00:09:54,400 –> 00:09:59,200
whether or not it will who knows
the charges that he’s facing?
166
00:09:59,200 –> 00:10:02,600
We should run through those.
Mmm, they recommended for
167
00:10:02,600 –> 00:10:06,200
different charges obstruction of
an official proceeding.
168
00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:12,800
And that is based on the riots
main goal which was to delay or
169
00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:17,100
block the counting of the
Electoral College votes.
170
00:10:17,200 –> 00:10:20,700
Yeah, conspiracy to defraud the
United States.
171
00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:25,400
That’s also based on the plans
to To delay or block the
172
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:29,600
certification but that’s more
the planning and build up to it.
173
00:10:29,800 –> 00:10:34,400
Hence the conspiracy conspiracy
to make a false statement based
174
00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:38,700
on a scheme to submit alternate
slates of electors who supported
175
00:10:38,700 –> 00:10:41,800
Trump to Congress from states
that supported Biden.
176
00:10:41,800 –> 00:10:45,700
And the last one in siding,
assisting, and giving Aid and
177
00:10:45,700 –> 00:10:50,200
comfort to an Insurrection.
And that one seems pretty
178
00:10:50,200 –> 00:10:54,200
self-explanatory.
I have the same question Sure
179
00:10:54,200 –> 00:10:59,300
that I had about the one trial
that eventually happened over
180
00:10:59,300 –> 00:11:00,800
Jonestown.
Hmm.
181
00:11:01,100 –> 00:11:05,400
The one guy who was charged
Larry Layton was charged with
182
00:11:05,400 –> 00:11:08,800
conspiracy by himself.
He was the only person charged
183
00:11:09,200 –> 00:11:13,600
which begs the question who are
the other conspirators, because
184
00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:18,100
this is Trump and Trump alone,
being recommended for charges
185
00:11:18,200 –> 00:11:20,100
and it’s like well, who’s
actually no.
186
00:11:20,100 –> 00:11:22,500
I’m wrong.
I believe his lawyer John
187
00:11:22,500 –> 00:11:26,900
Eastman is the Other conspirator
so scratch that just wanted to
188
00:11:26,900 –> 00:11:29,700
slip that Jonestown point in
under the doors.
189
00:11:29,700 –> 00:11:30,600
Hist.
Yeah.
190
00:11:31,800 –> 00:11:34,800
But yeah, I believe it’s John
Eastman his lawyer, who is the
191
00:11:34,800 –> 00:11:38,800
other conspirator who is charged
with helping him come up with
192
00:11:38,800 –> 00:11:43,200
this plan to send an alternate
slate of electors to come.
193
00:11:43,700 –> 00:11:47,700
So, here’s a quote, from the
January 6, committee after
194
00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:52,100
recommending charges, we
understand the gravity of each
195
00:11:52,100 –> 00:11:53,900
and every referral we’re making
today.
196
00:11:54,100 –> 00:11:58,000
A just as we understand the
magnitude of the crime against
197
00:11:58,000 –> 00:12:02,000
democracy that we described in
our report, but we have gone
198
00:12:02,000 –> 00:12:06,400
where the facts and the law lead
us and inescapably they lead us
199
00:12:06,400 –> 00:12:09,000
here and quote.
So what do we say?
200
00:12:09,300 –> 00:12:10,200
You think they’re going to
charge them?
201
00:12:10,300 –> 00:12:12,700
They should.
I just don’t want him to do it
202
00:12:12,700 –> 00:12:15,800
this week, but don’t charge him
this week.
203
00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:20,200
Let January 6 past and then do
guess.
204
00:12:20,300 –> 00:12:23,000
I mean, it’s not going to happen
this week so we’re okay.
205
00:12:23,200 –> 00:12:27,200
There’s just, no No way.
But I also don’t know that
206
00:12:27,200 –> 00:12:30,200
whether it happens on January
6th or not is going to play a
207
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:34,600
role in whether his supporters
subsequently Riot over it.
208
00:12:34,600 –> 00:12:37,600
If he goes to trial and gets
convicted Goes to Jail, there’s
209
00:12:37,600 –> 00:12:42,100
going to be some unrest.
Yes I think that’s fair.
210
00:12:42,400 –> 00:12:45,400
We talked about it on this
week’s unpopular opinion but
211
00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:47,500
that’s one of the scariest
things about Trump is.
212
00:12:47,500 –> 00:12:52,000
He’s almost the only u.s.
politician right now that has
213
00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:57,000
that like Royal Energy.
Where if he died there’s going
214
00:12:57,000 –> 00:13:01,800
to be idiots like blubbering in
the streets over it sure.
215
00:13:02,000 –> 00:13:07,600
Like there’s not really I mean I
guess like AOC maybe like if she
216
00:13:08,000 –> 00:13:12,200
unexpectedly passed I feel like
people would maybe get in the
217
00:13:12,208 –> 00:13:16,500
streets and be upset but like by
she Noah murdered.
218
00:13:16,500 –> 00:13:22,200
Yeah but like Biden no way like
no but also people on the left
219
00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:28,700
tend to not Not always be as
idolatrous of their politicians
220
00:13:28,700 –> 00:13:32,200
as the people who are really
into the populist, right?
221
00:13:32,300 –> 00:13:35,100
You know, there’s more of a cult
of personality.
222
00:13:35,300 –> 00:13:40,200
But even then, that’s even then
I don’t think like, if George
223
00:13:40,200 –> 00:13:43,900
w– Bush.
Well, if he had died in office,
224
00:13:43,900 –> 00:13:46,100
like, people would have been
upset, but it wouldn’t be like
225
00:13:46,100 –> 00:13:50,600
no outpouring of grief and
anger, and frustration that I
226
00:13:50,608 –> 00:13:53,900
feel like we would see with
Trump, like, no one was going to
227
00:13:54,000 –> 00:13:56,800
On the capital for George w–
Bush.
228
00:13:56,900 –> 00:13:58,700
Absolutely.
I know I don’t disagree.
229
00:13:58,700 –> 00:14:02,200
I mean, I know what you mean.
And I agree that Trump is
230
00:14:02,200 –> 00:14:03,800
different.
Like he’s got.
231
00:14:03,800 –> 00:14:09,000
He has this Cult of Personality
that no other politician has in
232
00:14:09,000 –> 00:14:11,900
it.
Especially in recent times, has
233
00:14:11,900 –> 00:14:14,700
been able to cultivate.
And that’s one of the things
234
00:14:14,700 –> 00:14:17,700
that makes him the most
dangerous as Apple.
235
00:14:17,900 –> 00:14:21,200
I mean, it’s not his policies.
I mean, he has terrible policies
236
00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:25,500
all obviously, but it’s his
ability to get People excited
237
00:14:25,500 –> 00:14:29,400
that is scary.
And so yeah, like I think, if
238
00:14:29,400 –> 00:14:31,800
anything happens to him, it
would go crazy.
239
00:14:31,800 –> 00:14:34,600
I don’t think even if Bernie
Sanders died.
240
00:14:34,700 –> 00:14:38,600
People on the left, would be sad
because one of our most
241
00:14:38,600 –> 00:14:42,500
effective left-leaning
politicians will be gone and we
242
00:14:42,500 –> 00:14:47,700
don’t have a lot of those.
So I think that would be where
243
00:14:47,700 –> 00:14:52,600
our pain comes from, not from
specifically the loss of this
244
00:14:52,600 –> 00:14:56,400
person because we see Are our
goals is being great greater
245
00:14:56,400 –> 00:15:00,300
than any one person, right?
Why we’re hard on our
246
00:15:00,300 –> 00:15:05,500
politicians, but like Trump,
people like Trump and whatever
247
00:15:05,500 –> 00:15:10,600
policies Trump says, that’s what
people like, and it’s just, you
248
00:15:10,600 –> 00:15:11,600
know that.
Yeah.
249
00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:14,600
There’s not an analog to that
anywhere else.
250
00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:17,500
Yeah, yeah.
And that’s what makes it so
251
00:15:17,500 –> 00:15:20,700
concerning to me, but at the
same time, like you said, got to
252
00:15:20,708 –> 00:15:25,100
do it like, oh yeah, they kind
of have to Charge him so that
253
00:15:25,100 –> 00:15:30,700
since like, you know he got into
office under legal means like,
254
00:15:30,700 –> 00:15:36,200
you know, I’ve been saying it
doesn’t matter how bad it is in
255
00:15:36,200 –> 00:15:39,000
the long run or how few
consequences there are.
256
00:15:39,200 –> 00:15:43,700
It has to be done or else.
We have no moral foot to stand
257
00:15:43,700 –> 00:15:44,700
on.
Right.
258
00:15:44,700 –> 00:15:46,900
Which is that the United States
was going to say?
259
00:15:46,900 –> 00:15:49,600
That part’s already a little
shaky pre Trump.
260
00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,100
Exactly.
So a few days after recommending
261
00:15:53,100 –> 00:16:00,300
Criminal Is the final report was
released 845 Pages.
262
00:16:00,300 –> 00:16:02,300
You read it yet.
Yeah.
263
00:16:02,300 –> 00:16:05,900
You know, I was sick and so I
was like I’ll just what better
264
00:16:05,900 –> 00:16:09,900
way to get better than to read
on almost 900 page.
265
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:14,200
The like the legal document that
be great if it’s half as
266
00:16:14,200 –> 00:16:18,200
thrilling as the molar report.
Sure, I have no doubt that
267
00:16:18,200 –> 00:16:20,200
people will be on the edge of
their seat.
268
00:16:20,200 –> 00:16:23,800
I loved I say this, every time
the molar report comes up, I
269
00:16:23,900 –> 00:16:27,200
love that there were politicians
getting in front of TV cameras
270
00:16:27,200 –> 00:16:31,100
being like I read all of the
molar report like motherfucker,
271
00:16:31,100 –> 00:16:34,100
it’s like 400 Pages.
You’ve course you should have
272
00:16:34,500 –> 00:16:35,200
read it.
God damn.
273
00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:38,400
Well better, why wouldn’t you
read the molar report?
274
00:16:39,200 –> 00:16:44,000
Yeah, I mean I think it’s a kind
of a, an interesting sign of how
275
00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:48,500
the culture has shifted since
Trump left office.
276
00:16:48,500 –> 00:16:52,100
That this like the mole report
was like a book like people, it
277
00:16:52,100 –> 00:16:53,800
was like published just like an
airport.
278
00:16:54,400 –> 00:16:57,600
Like oh this is sick.
It is so I didn’t know that.
279
00:16:57,600 –> 00:17:01,300
Yeah you can you can get it kind
of looks like a Dianetics book.
280
00:17:01,300 –> 00:17:04,900
The Cover is fucking Jazzy.
Yeah it’s like volcanoes and
281
00:17:04,900 –> 00:17:06,700
shit.
Looks like l.ron Hubbard fucking
282
00:17:06,700 –> 00:17:08,200
road it.
Ok, I miss that.
283
00:17:08,200 –> 00:17:11,200
So I don’t know.
Then it just seems like it’s not
284
00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:14,200
making the impression that the
molar Port everybody cared about
285
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:17,400
them or what everybody had the
fucking thing, I don’t know, I
286
00:17:17,400 –> 00:17:22,599
think the difference here and
one of the reasons were not
287
00:17:22,599 –> 00:17:26,200
running through all the the
details of January 6th in the
288
00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:29,900
specifics of the riot is because
it’s so obvious.
289
00:17:30,100 –> 00:17:35,000
Like, I don’t, I don’t need the
January 6 committee to tell me
290
00:17:35,000 –> 00:17:40,100
that Trump incited a riot.
Like the insights that they have
291
00:17:40,100 –> 00:17:44,500
like in as far as the backroom
workings and things are very
292
00:17:44,500 –> 00:17:48,200
interesting but in my heart, I
already know Trump did it.
293
00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:51,900
And we saw it happen on TV and I
think that’s right, probably
294
00:17:51,900 –> 00:17:54,800
why?
It’s not as Interesting to
295
00:17:54,800 –> 00:17:57,300
people, that’s fair, but yeah,
that makes sense.
296
00:17:57,800 –> 00:18:04,400
It is interesting to me in that
when I saw this unfold on TV,
297
00:18:04,600 –> 00:18:09,000
the impression I got was that it
was kind of a spontaneous thing
298
00:18:09,000 –> 00:18:14,700
in that Trump just planned to
have this rally that day, and it
299
00:18:14,700 –> 00:18:19,300
erupted in violence, but it
seems like that wasn’t the case.
300
00:18:19,300 –> 00:18:22,400
It seems like there were at
least some elements who kind of
301
00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:25,600
knew it was going to progress.
Kress to that point.
302
00:18:25,600 –> 00:18:30,100
But also if that’s the case they
didn’t do shit once it got to
303
00:18:30,100 –> 00:18:32,200
that point.
I mean, yeah.
304
00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:34,900
Who knows, who knows?
I don’t know.
305
00:18:34,900 –> 00:18:39,500
I mean II, it’s very it is very
possible that it’s a combination
306
00:18:39,500 –> 00:18:41,600
of these things.
It’s a bunch of people with
307
00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:45,100
different motivations who all
just were in the same place?
308
00:18:45,200 –> 00:18:48,700
Yeah, the guardian called the
final report.
309
00:18:48,700 –> 00:18:51,500
Quote, one of the most damning
official portraits of a
310
00:18:51,508 –> 00:18:56,900
president in American history.
End quote and I, yeah, I can see
311
00:18:56,900 –> 00:19:02,200
that being the case because this
is it’s similar to Watergate in
312
00:19:02,200 –> 00:19:06,000
that with Watergate Nixon
recorded everything.
313
00:19:06,100 –> 00:19:10,800
Yeah, like a fucking idiot.
Well, also because literally
314
00:19:10,800 –> 00:19:12,900
every president recorded
everything that happened in the
315
00:19:12,900 –> 00:19:16,500
Oval Office, that was one thing
that he was actually not that
316
00:19:16,500 –> 00:19:19,200
much outside of the norm.
Yeah about.
317
00:19:19,300 –> 00:19:23,700
And these days, everything
happens on electronic device.
318
00:19:23,900 –> 00:19:27,700
Has and it’s very hard to shake
that trail.
319
00:19:28,000 –> 00:19:32,800
Once you have created it.
So we know like the text
320
00:19:32,800 –> 00:19:36,600
messages and the things that
Trump was doing and saying on
321
00:19:36,600 –> 00:19:41,400
that day and I think the most
obviously damning part of it is
322
00:19:41,400 –> 00:19:47,300
that he never ordered the
military to intervene or help uh
323
00:19:47,300 –> 00:19:50,500
on the one hand.
You know, you don’t want like
324
00:19:50,500 –> 00:19:54,600
it, you’re walking a fine line
when you sick the Carry on
325
00:19:54,600 –> 00:20:00,400
protesters, right?
But this was a little different.
326
00:20:00,500 –> 00:20:04,200
Well, I would say the biggest
thing is just the contrast
327
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:09,500
between his reaction to this and
his reaction to say the black
328
00:20:09,500 –> 00:20:14,600
lives matter, protests in 2020,
and people doing way less way.
329
00:20:14,600 –> 00:20:18,000
Further away from government
buildings, getting the National
330
00:20:18,000 –> 00:20:20,400
Guard and the like sicced on
them.
331
00:20:20,600 –> 00:20:24,900
He tear-gassed a group of
protesters who Who were standing
332
00:20:24,900 –> 00:20:29,500
behind the barricade that was
set up for them to stand behind.
333
00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:34,600
That’s insane.
Yeah, but yes, I agree but like,
334
00:20:34,600 –> 00:20:39,300
you know, so I mean on the one
hand, like you said, I am not in
335
00:20:39,300 –> 00:20:43,900
support of the president calling
in the military on protesters.
336
00:20:43,900 –> 00:20:49,700
And, you know, I don’t like the
January 6 events because mostly
337
00:20:49,700 –> 00:20:53,100
cuz they were stupid as fuck.
But you know, I wouldn’t have
338
00:20:53,100 –> 00:20:58,600
wanted the Terry, that wouldn’t
have helped anything but it’s
339
00:20:58,600 –> 00:21:03,800
showing his very obvious on
their face biases by his
340
00:21:03,800 –> 00:21:07,700
different responses, right?
And I don’t know that we would
341
00:21:07,700 –> 00:21:11,100
have wanted the military to just
like come in and start shooting
342
00:21:11,100 –> 00:21:13,700
people.
It’s absolutely not, but it was
343
00:21:13,700 –> 00:21:16,900
also pretty clear, the capital
police needed some help.
344
00:21:17,000 –> 00:21:21,100
They were overwhelmed and I
think that was more the thing
345
00:21:21,500 –> 00:21:23,700
more fucking it.
Yeah, that’s the problem.
346
00:21:23,800 –> 00:21:26,700
Um, to use half of them were
fucking in on it and that was
347
00:21:26,700 –> 00:21:28,400
one of the other concerns I read
about.
348
00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:32,000
I don’t think I put it in the
notes but yeah Trump didn’t call
349
00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:35,400
in the military but there was
also some element on that day.
350
00:21:35,400 –> 00:21:38,500
That was like don’t ask Trump to
call the military, he will cough
351
00:21:38,500 –> 00:21:43,500
military on his behalf like he
will just send them in the
352
00:21:43,500 –> 00:21:45,300
fucking kill Congress or
something.
353
00:21:46,100 –> 00:21:48,900
So, there was that element to
where people didn’t necessarily
354
00:21:48,900 –> 00:21:53,700
want Trump to have his finger on
that button on that shirt?
355
00:21:54,100 –> 00:21:57,500
Which was probably for the best.
Yeah.
356
00:21:57,500 –> 00:22:02,100
He I’m gonna say is not the kind
of person that I would want.
357
00:22:02,100 –> 00:22:06,100
Commanding the most advanced
military on the face of the
358
00:22:06,100 –> 00:22:08,000
planet in the history of the
world.
359
00:22:08,100 –> 00:22:10,600
No it’s just not the guy I trust
with that job.
360
00:22:10,600 –> 00:22:17,100
Come on I know I know I know I’m
overreacting So this report
361
00:22:17,100 –> 00:22:21,300
basically just blames Trump.
The this is a quote, the central
362
00:22:21,300 –> 00:22:23,700
cause of January 6th was one
man.
363
00:22:24,000 –> 00:22:28,000
Former President Donald Trump,
who many others, followed, none
364
00:22:28,000 –> 00:22:31,600
of the events of January 6th
would have happened without him.
365
00:22:31,900 –> 00:22:35,100
And quote, I think that’s
probably true.
366
00:22:35,200 –> 00:22:37,800
Absolutely.
Like, we were just saying, like,
367
00:22:38,100 –> 00:22:41,800
he’s the only ideologue that
we’ve got, that could do
368
00:22:41,800 –> 00:22:44,900
something like that, and he
didn’t have to have that fucking
369
00:22:44,900 –> 00:22:48,600
rally.
Lee on January 6th know, by now,
370
00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:51,800
that, that was that was very,
very avoidable.
371
00:22:51,900 –> 00:22:57,800
He waited something like 3 hours
before he put out a message and
372
00:22:57,800 –> 00:23:00,600
called for people to stop.
And here’s the thing that part
373
00:23:00,600 –> 00:23:04,100
is scary to me to the part where
he just went on TV and was like,
374
00:23:04,100 –> 00:23:06,100
all right, cool.
It never was like, okay, we’ll
375
00:23:06,100 –> 00:23:09,400
leave now like right that part’s
terrifying.
376
00:23:09,700 –> 00:23:14,700
So, one of the things that the
report found is that in the
377
00:23:14,708 –> 00:23:18,800
months between Clean election
day and the riot Trump and his
378
00:23:18,800 –> 00:23:23,100
people made at least 200
attempts to pressure election.
379
00:23:23,100 –> 00:23:29,200
Officials including at least 68,
meetings phone calls or texts 18
380
00:23:29,200 –> 00:23:34,500
prominent public remarks and 125
social media posts.
381
00:23:34,500 –> 00:23:37,400
See, that’s the other thing.
That’s that’s the other reason.
382
00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:42,900
This isn’t ringing as many Bells
as the molar report we saw all
383
00:23:42,900 –> 00:23:45,000
of this.
Like, we know these phone calls,
384
00:23:45,400 –> 00:23:47,700
Happened.
We saw the social media posts
385
00:23:47,700 –> 00:23:51,200
like it’s good that all of this
has been confirmed and put on
386
00:23:51,200 –> 00:23:54,100
the record in an official way.
But if this is all, they’re
387
00:23:54,100 –> 00:23:58,000
coming back with, I’m not
reading 845 pages to be told
388
00:23:58,300 –> 00:24:01,100
Trump, tweeted a bunch about not
losing the elections thing I
389
00:24:01,108 –> 00:24:02,900
know right?
Yeah.
390
00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:06,700
I mean like this is the thing,
like, I’ll let them read it.
391
00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:09,800
They need to read it.
I don’t, I’m good.
392
00:24:09,900 –> 00:24:11,800
I get it.
They also recommended a
393
00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:14,700
congressional ethics
investigation of Kevin McCarthy.
394
00:24:14,700 –> 00:24:19,000
Come on.
All know what that guy.
395
00:24:19,000 –> 00:24:21,500
Wow.
So let’s talk about a couple of
396
00:24:21,500 –> 00:24:23,300
other things that have come out
of this.
397
00:24:23,300 –> 00:24:27,900
That are obviously still Trump
related but not quite as Trump
398
00:24:27,900 –> 00:24:31,300
related sure.
First off, there are some
399
00:24:31,400 –> 00:24:35,600
Electoral College reforms that
have come out of the January,
400
00:24:35,600 –> 00:24:38,400
6th committee like a bottle of,
they’re getting rid of it,
401
00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:39,000
right?
I think.
402
00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:40,400
Are they abolishing it all
together?
403
00:24:40,400 –> 00:24:43,100
Let me check know.
Unfortunately, that is now what
404
00:24:43,100 –> 00:24:45,700
we’re doing because that seems
like it would have been The
405
00:24:45,700 –> 00:24:49,800
easiest fix if they were to just
come out and say, hey, let’s
406
00:24:49,800 –> 00:24:51,800
just go with popular vote, what
do you think?
407
00:24:51,900 –> 00:24:54,900
Yeah, I mean that’s just never,
it’s never going to happen.
408
00:24:54,900 –> 00:24:57,200
I want it needs to happen.
It should happen.
409
00:24:57,200 –> 00:25:02,400
But like there’s way too many
vested interests and keeping
410
00:25:02,400 –> 00:25:05,500
that around that.
It’s just not going to happen,
411
00:25:05,600 –> 00:25:09,400
but they did pass.
An overhaul of the Electoral
412
00:25:09,400 –> 00:25:15,200
count act as part of congress’s
year-end spending, bill Senate,
413
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:18,300
Proved it to bipartisan support
baby.
414
00:25:18,500 –> 00:25:20,300
Yeah.
Now it goes this we might need
415
00:25:20,300 –> 00:25:23,000
to read now.
We probably need to see what
416
00:25:23,000 –> 00:25:26,600
else is in here.
It goes to Biden to sign off on.
417
00:25:26,600 –> 00:25:29,600
He’s probably going to have to
check with the Saudis first or
418
00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:32,100
something, but I’m sure it’ll
pass.
419
00:25:32,800 –> 00:25:36,200
One of the changes is added
wording.
420
00:25:36,500 –> 00:25:39,800
That makes it clear that the
vice president’s role in the
421
00:25:39,800 –> 00:25:44,200
certification process is
strictly ceremonial and has no
422
00:25:44,200 –> 00:25:47,500
say in determining Determining
who won which cats?
423
00:25:47,500 –> 00:25:49,800
That’s good.
That’s the part that almost got
424
00:25:49,800 –> 00:25:53,900
Mike.
Pence hanged last time around.
425
00:25:54,300 –> 00:25:57,800
So yeah.
So yeah protect Mike Pence I
426
00:25:57,800 –> 00:25:59,800
guess I guess.
Good.
427
00:25:59,800 –> 00:26:04,400
Whoo, yay, Mike Pence is safe
that if you I don’t know how
428
00:26:04,400 –> 00:26:09,500
much probably none of Mike
Pence’s account of January 6th
429
00:26:09,900 –> 00:26:13,000
you’ve read, but it’s actually
pretty fascinating.
430
00:26:13,000 –> 00:26:17,100
Like yeah, you can tell he, Kind
of felt like Secret Service
431
00:26:17,100 –> 00:26:20,200
might kidnap him.
Like he had his, he has his own
432
00:26:20,200 –> 00:26:24,100
secret service and that guy was
like, alright, get in this car.
433
00:26:24,100 –> 00:26:28,300
And my dance was like, no, I’m
not getting in a car without you
434
00:26:28,600 –> 00:26:31,800
like you were the only person on
my side right now.
435
00:26:32,600 –> 00:26:36,500
Fucking intense.
Yeah, they also raised the
436
00:26:36,500 –> 00:26:40,200
threshold required for members
of Congress to object to
437
00:26:40,200 –> 00:26:44,600
certifying the electors.
Previously, only one member of
438
00:26:44,600 –> 00:26:48,900
the House and Senate, Senate had
to object to force a roll call
439
00:26:49,000 –> 00:26:50,400
and it’s a thing that happens a
lot.
440
00:26:50,400 –> 00:26:54,700
Democrats did it to object to
certifying George w– Bush and
441
00:26:54,700 –> 00:26:57,300
Trump both.
But the difference is, when
442
00:26:57,300 –> 00:27:00,500
Democrats did it, they had
already conceded those races.
443
00:27:00,700 –> 00:27:05,300
When Republicans, did it for
Trump in 2020, they were like
444
00:27:05,300 –> 00:27:10,700
minutes away from the riots
having just ended also George
445
00:27:10,700 –> 00:27:12,700
w–.
Bush had legitimately been
446
00:27:12,700 –> 00:27:15,200
illegally installed as president
and so.
447
00:27:15,400 –> 00:27:18,000
I think protesting that was
appropriate.
448
00:27:18,000 –> 00:27:21,800
Yeah, the Supreme Court, gave
George Bush, then election.
449
00:27:22,000 –> 00:27:26,700
We still need to do an episode
about the 2004 election that if
450
00:27:26,700 –> 00:27:30,700
you like six.
Yeah, that was a legitimately
451
00:27:30,700 –> 00:27:37,000
Shady election and yeah, we
didn’t do shit about it, like
452
00:27:37,000 –> 00:27:40,600
not a thing, but that’s neither.
That’s neither here.
453
00:27:40,600 –> 00:27:43,300
Nor there Republicans will get
to it.
454
00:27:43,300 –> 00:27:47,900
So now, with of each chamber
would be required to force a
455
00:27:47,900 –> 00:27:49,600
vote.
They also put a law in place
456
00:27:49,600 –> 00:27:52,500
that bars Congress from
considering elector slates
457
00:27:52,500 –> 00:27:56,300
submitted by any state official
other than the governor was
458
00:27:56,300 –> 00:28:00,300
required to sign off on slates
before they’re sent to Congress.
459
00:28:01,000 –> 00:28:04,600
And the new legislation also
closes a loophole that wasn’t
460
00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:07,500
used in 2020.
That says a state legislature.
461
00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:11,300
Can name electors in defiance of
their State’s popular vote, in
462
00:28:11,300 –> 00:28:14,100
the event of a quote failed
election.
463
00:28:14,300 –> 00:28:18,000
You won’t believe this.
Up to this point failed hadn’t
464
00:28:18,000 –> 00:28:21,300
really been defined all that
well.
465
00:28:21,400 –> 00:28:25,700
So yeah, you could, you know,
get a governor who comes out and
466
00:28:25,700 –> 00:28:28,800
says, well too many black people
voted.
467
00:28:28,800 –> 00:28:31,200
So this is a failed election
rights.
468
00:28:31,300 –> 00:28:34,200
Send an alternate slate of
electors, so now that can’t
469
00:28:34,200 –> 00:28:35,000
happen.
Cool.
470
00:28:35,000 –> 00:28:37,700
Also abolish the fucking
Electoral College.
471
00:28:37,800 –> 00:28:39,900
Yeah.
We should get rid of it.
472
00:28:39,900 –> 00:28:44,100
It’s doesn’t apply to our modern
world.
473
00:28:44,500 –> 00:28:46,800
No, no.
No, it really doesn’t.
474
00:28:46,800 –> 00:28:48,400
But let’s talk about this next
story.
475
00:28:48,500 –> 00:28:53,400
This is this is the story that
might be the weirdest to me.
476
00:28:53,700 –> 00:28:55,600
Sure.
Or maybe, I’m, maybe I’m just
477
00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:57,900
overthinking it.
Do you find any part of this
478
00:28:57,900 –> 00:29:04,400
next story suspicious at all?
I mean, I obviously there are a
479
00:29:04,408 –> 00:29:10,000
lot of weird and suspicious and
Shady things about this story,
480
00:29:10,300 –> 00:29:16,600
but the connection between a
crypto guy and The proud boys is
481
00:29:16,600 –> 00:29:21,200
not especially shocking to me.
I don’t find that too.
482
00:29:21,200 –> 00:29:23,200
I don’t find that part shocking
at all.
483
00:29:23,200 –> 00:29:25,700
That’s not the part that’s I
mean obviously there’s weird
484
00:29:25,700 –> 00:29:31,000
shit because here’s the thing, a
crypto bro, accidentally wrote
485
00:29:31,000 –> 00:29:35,000
The Proud boys Capital storming
document and that’s the headline
486
00:29:35,000 –> 00:29:39,700
you’re seeing is that a a crypto
Advocate they call him you know
487
00:29:39,700 –> 00:29:41,400
oh they don’t call them a crypto
bro.
488
00:29:41,400 –> 00:29:45,100
That’s that’s me talking sure he
is absolutely a crypto bro.
489
00:29:45,200 –> 00:29:50,100
Ow and that’s what all the
headlines are are saying is oh
490
00:29:50,100 –> 00:29:53,800
this crypto guy, wrote this
document and handed it off to
491
00:29:53,800 –> 00:29:56,000
Proud, boys.
What they’re not saying is that
492
00:29:56,000 –> 00:30:02,200
crypto guy was like a, he wasn’t
CIA, but he was like, Special
493
00:30:02,200 –> 00:30:05,800
Operations.
And was being groomed to join
494
00:30:05,800 –> 00:30:10,300
the CIA before he conveniently,
pivoted to crypto and none of
495
00:30:10,300 –> 00:30:13,300
the headlines are mentioning
that part that right?
496
00:30:13,300 –> 00:30:17,900
A government.
Official wrote The Proud boys.
497
00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:23,700
1776 returns document as Ray
heart of his like, like he says
498
00:30:23,700 –> 00:30:27,000
it was a private document that
he just wrote as part of like
499
00:30:27,000 –> 00:30:30,700
some War Games stuff, he was
putting together but it’s like,
500
00:30:30,800 –> 00:30:32,900
yeah, you do that in your spare
time.
501
00:30:32,900 –> 00:30:34,400
You sure?
That wasn’t my name’s.
502
00:30:34,400 –> 00:30:36,500
Sure, that wasn’t work related
at all.
503
00:30:36,800 –> 00:30:41,800
Like what kind of war game
involves this?
504
00:30:41,900 –> 00:30:44,100
I would love to know like it
needs it.
505
00:30:44,100 –> 00:30:48,800
Like I don’t Sara Lee doubt that
this was developed for war game.
506
00:30:49,100 –> 00:30:52,900
But was it like a leftist?
Have seized control of the
507
00:30:52,900 –> 00:30:56,700
nation and we must take it back
wargame, because in that case,
508
00:30:56,700 –> 00:30:58,800
it’s not like much of a defense
buddy.
509
00:30:58,900 –> 00:31:02,700
Yeah, he says, he wrote it for
like a war games type thing.
510
00:31:02,700 –> 00:31:07,700
But he was laying out a scenario
where a right-wing element could
511
00:31:07,700 –> 00:31:10,200
basically take over the
government.
512
00:31:10,300 –> 00:31:14,300
Yeah, the document is called
1776 returns.
513
00:31:15,600 –> 00:31:18,000
We should, we should bit fucking
right wing bit.
514
00:31:18,000 –> 00:31:21,600
There’s so many fucking nerdy,
they’re just such losers.
515
00:31:21,600 –> 00:31:26,000
Oh, my God, 1776 returns.
Fuck off.
516
00:31:26,100 –> 00:31:28,800
Jesus.
Meanwhile, not a single flute in
517
00:31:28,800 –> 00:31:33,000
that fucking crowd, right?
Yeah, this is 1776 returns
518
00:31:33,000 –> 00:31:34,800
whereas the musical numbers.
Huh?
519
00:31:34,800 –> 00:31:37,800
Where’s the drums?
Where are the fucking drums?
520
00:31:37,900 –> 00:31:40,400
Give me a fucking Fife, man.
And here’s the thing, I bet
521
00:31:40,400 –> 00:31:45,100
there was I bet they’re
absolutely fucking LARP ass.
522
00:31:45,200 –> 00:31:48,700
They’re fucker playing drums in
the fucking fight, wearing a
523
00:31:48,700 –> 00:31:53,700
stupid, goddamn hat, and
tri-corner hat motherfucker.
524
00:31:54,800 –> 00:31:59,900
So this document 1776 returns.
It is kind of the centerpiece of
525
00:31:59,900 –> 00:32:03,200
the conspiracy charges that
proud boys.
526
00:32:03,200 –> 00:32:07,300
Leaders are facing over the
capital Riot and it’s a document
527
00:32:07,300 –> 00:32:11,800
that outlined strategic plans
for the Takeover of US
528
00:32:11,800 –> 00:32:15,100
government buildings on January
6, 2012.
529
00:32:15,300 –> 00:32:19,000
He won called for occupying,
several DC government buildings,
530
00:32:19,100 –> 00:32:23,100
three Senate, offices, three
Congress offices, the Supreme
531
00:32:23,100 –> 00:32:28,000
Court and the CNN headquarters
in d.c. nerds.
532
00:32:28,100 –> 00:32:31,300
Yeah, I can nerds like, why just
CNN?
533
00:32:31,400 –> 00:32:34,500
And maybe they’re the only ones
who have a building in DC but
534
00:32:34,800 –> 00:32:37,300
like there’s going to be another
news outlets who don’t agree
535
00:32:37,300 –> 00:32:42,600
with you, but the like that’s
like CNN is the symbolic.
536
00:32:42,800 –> 00:32:45,000
Yeah enemy.
Yeah.
537
00:32:45,200 –> 00:32:50,800
A, I owned a CNN t-shirt for a
while, and it’s a fun way to
538
00:32:50,800 –> 00:32:55,400
like smoke out right-wingers in
your orbit, because anyone who
539
00:32:55,400 –> 00:32:58,000
looks at and goes, oh, you look
fake news, it’s like, oh, I know
540
00:32:58,000 –> 00:32:59,300
what?
I know who the fuck you are.
541
00:32:59,700 –> 00:33:04,200
Yeah, gross.
I mean like yeah, CNN sucks.
542
00:33:04,200 –> 00:33:08,000
But like a the reasons, they
you’re saying absolutely suck
543
00:33:08,100 –> 00:33:10,700
weirdly.
The capital was not on the list
544
00:33:10,700 –> 00:33:15,800
of buildings to infiltrate, I
would say and I’m not The legal
545
00:33:15,800 –> 00:33:18,500
expert.
But if there’s one thing that
546
00:33:18,500 –> 00:33:22,600
would be a way to get these
people like, out of trouble.
547
00:33:22,700 –> 00:33:25,700
It’s that, yes, the fact that
the Capitol Building isn’t on
548
00:33:25,700 –> 00:33:30,500
there like supposed plan, right.
It’s shown in a Google map
549
00:33:30,500 –> 00:33:35,100
screen shot on the final page of
the document.
550
00:33:35,100 –> 00:33:37,900
And we’ll talk about the guy who
wrote it in a minute.
551
00:33:37,900 –> 00:33:41,700
But that’s kind of his argument
is well he wrote like the the
552
00:33:41,700 –> 00:33:45,000
foundation of it and then it got
to the proud boys.
553
00:33:45,200 –> 00:33:49,500
As and they added all this extra
shit so that would explain the
554
00:33:49,500 –> 00:33:53,700
capital only showing up in a
Google map screen shot I guess
555
00:33:53,800 –> 00:33:55,000
right.
I’m just doing a little bit of
556
00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:58,000
lawyer in here on this guy.
Sure a half.
557
00:33:58,100 –> 00:34:01,800
Like I’m not thinking that this
guy is or any of The Proud boys
558
00:34:01,800 –> 00:34:06,500
are innocent so to speak, but
that would just that’s just the
559
00:34:06,500 –> 00:34:09,500
first thing that pops to my mind
as like, oh, that seems like an
560
00:34:09,500 –> 00:34:13,000
easy Lupul.
Yeah, it’s a five stage plan,
561
00:34:13,100 –> 00:34:19,600
infiltrate.
Distract occupy sit in I’m
562
00:34:19,600 –> 00:34:23,400
guessing from where it is in the
hierarchy that executes doesn’t
563
00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:26,699
actually mean execute government
officials.
564
00:34:26,800 –> 00:34:31,699
This feels like more of a
protest than a murder plan just
565
00:34:31,699 –> 00:34:32,199
gonna say.
Yeah.
566
00:34:32,199 –> 00:34:35,500
If it’s if it’s killing people I
feel like execute has to come
567
00:34:35,500 –> 00:34:41,500
after sit in otherwise.
So weird, the escalation Yeah.
568
00:34:41,600 –> 00:34:43,400
Yeah.
By that point, like you should
569
00:34:43,400 –> 00:34:48,100
just move in if You’ve pulled
off all that other shit that
570
00:34:48,100 –> 00:34:52,699
work so occupy and sit in our
separate like, yeah, UPS.
571
00:34:52,800 –> 00:34:56,500
Those those are 22 different
things for some reason but I
572
00:34:56,500 –> 00:34:59,400
haven’t read the document.
I’m not proud boy.
573
00:35:00,500 –> 00:35:04,400
No it feels like such a weird
thing to say I’m not a proud
574
00:35:04,400 –> 00:35:09,000
boy, I’m gonna shamed, not only
not only, is it a weird thing to
575
00:35:09,000 –> 00:35:12,600
say about yourself like it’s a
it’s a very stupid name.
576
00:35:12,600 –> 00:35:15,000
It sounds like something gets
toddler would say it’s like
577
00:35:15,200 –> 00:35:18,500
You’re talking about that who’s
the proud boy, but also it comes
578
00:35:18,500 –> 00:35:21,800
from Aladdin.
Oh, that’s right, I forgot about
579
00:35:21,800 –> 00:35:24,100
that.
Like it comes from a song that
580
00:35:24,100 –> 00:35:29,100
was deleted from Aladdin called
proud of your boy and they’re
581
00:35:29,100 –> 00:35:33,600
like they deleted that song so
that boys wouldn’t feel proud.
582
00:35:33,600 –> 00:35:35,800
So we’re going to be the proud
boys.
583
00:35:35,800 –> 00:35:39,200
It’s like you are getting upset
about a deleted.
584
00:35:39,400 –> 00:35:43,400
Disney’s fucking – Meowth take.
Yeah.
585
00:35:43,500 –> 00:35:46,600
Jesus guys were calm.
Mint, calm the fuck down.
586
00:35:46,600 –> 00:35:49,800
Wait, the box set.
It’ll come out geez.
587
00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:55,800
So what’s weird about this
document is who wrote it and how
588
00:35:55,800 –> 00:35:59,200
it got to the proud boys.
Like we said a crypto bro.
589
00:35:59,200 –> 00:36:03,600
From Florida named Samuel armas
told the January 6 committee
590
00:36:03,600 –> 00:36:08,000
during an interview that he
didn’t write the document and
591
00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:11,600
had no role in the planning or
execution of the riot, but he
592
00:36:11,600 –> 00:36:15,300
said he did help formulate.
Some of the ideas that the I
593
00:36:15,300 –> 00:36:22,100
meant relied on and what I find
sus here again, is that all of
594
00:36:22,100 –> 00:36:25,600
these articles just described
him as a cryptocurrency
595
00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:26,800
Advocate?
Sure.
596
00:36:26,900 –> 00:36:29,900
What they don’t call him is a
former state department and
597
00:36:29,900 –> 00:36:35,000
Special Operations official, who
was quote, groomed to join the
598
00:36:35,000 –> 00:36:40,500
CIA and FBI, before his stint,
in the state department and
599
00:36:40,500 –> 00:36:45,200
special operations.
And quote, he says the pool All
600
00:36:45,200 –> 00:36:50,500
the parts of the 1776 document.
He recognized as his work were
601
00:36:50,500 –> 00:36:54,800
written as part of a quote
wargaming exercise and quote
602
00:36:54,800 –> 00:36:58,500
that he did in August or
September of 2020.
603
00:36:58,500 –> 00:37:04,800
So, you know, mere months before
the capital Riot, a former
604
00:37:04,800 –> 00:37:11,600
special operations officer
writes, a strategic plan for
605
00:37:11,600 –> 00:37:14,800
occupying government buildings
in.
606
00:37:15,200 –> 00:37:18,800
Washington DC.
And he says it was meant to be a
607
00:37:18,800 –> 00:37:22,100
private document, but also that
he shared it with a crypto
608
00:37:22,100 –> 00:37:27,400
friend named Erika Flores, sure.
And he said, this is where the
609
00:37:27,400 –> 00:37:32,500
stories diverge he says he just
forgot all about it.
610
00:37:32,600 –> 00:37:37,200
And then at one point it he
recognizes some of his thoughts
611
00:37:37,200 –> 00:37:41,300
and ideas in this proud, boys
document, what Erika Flores says
612
00:37:41,300 –> 00:37:44,700
is know this guy wrote it and
asked me to give it to the
613
00:37:44,700 –> 00:37:45,900
leader.
Of The Proud boys.
614
00:37:45,900 –> 00:37:50,300
He knew that we were friends and
he just asked and I’m sorry, but
615
00:37:50,300 –> 00:37:53,900
the second one sounds more
reasonable to me, like I think
616
00:37:53,900 –> 00:37:57,800
this guy just wrote this and
gave it to Proud boys.
617
00:37:58,800 –> 00:38:01,100
Sure, why not?
I don’t know.
618
00:38:01,300 –> 00:38:05,200
I mean, it does it matters a
little bit because I’m not done.
619
00:38:05,200 –> 00:38:07,000
I’m not dismissing it.
It’s just that.
620
00:38:07,200 –> 00:38:11,000
Like I literally have no way of
knowing whether we like, which
621
00:38:11,000 –> 00:38:14,400
accounted this is true and I
totally can like buy that.
622
00:38:14,400 –> 00:38:17,600
He is the guy.
Wrote this, especially with his
623
00:38:17,800 –> 00:38:22,500
weird-ass backgrounds.
Yeah, it is interesting to me
624
00:38:22,500 –> 00:38:27,300
because there have always been
those rumors surrounding the
625
00:38:27,300 –> 00:38:31,900
capital Riot that the FBI wasn’t
necessarily involve.
626
00:38:31,900 –> 00:38:34,900
I mean, I’ve heard the FBI was
involved.
627
00:38:34,900 –> 00:38:37,200
Sure.
Like, all the way down to, well,
628
00:38:37,200 –> 00:38:41,300
the FBI knew that something
might happen and just didn’t
629
00:38:41,300 –> 00:38:45,100
really say anything and I’m
going to be Us.
630
00:38:45,107 –> 00:38:48,500
That is vintage FBI.
If nothing else.
631
00:38:48,500 –> 00:38:52,700
Like we know the FBI by their
own admission, there were like
632
00:38:53,000 –> 00:38:56,400
ten FBI agents in the room when
Malcolm X was killed.
633
00:38:56,500 –> 00:38:58,200
Sure.
So they definitely weren’t
634
00:38:58,200 –> 00:38:59,800
involved.
They were just there as, you
635
00:38:59,800 –> 00:39:02,600
know, excited Spectators to see
it happen.
636
00:39:02,600 –> 00:39:06,800
Yeah, they’ve always had a
interest in the black Freedom.
637
00:39:06,800 –> 00:39:10,200
It was sorry, I guess keepo.
Every time this comes up I think
638
00:39:10,200 –> 00:39:12,500
about that.
Quote from the FBI museum.
639
00:39:12,900 –> 00:39:16,600
Yeah, they’ve always been very
Arrested in civil rights.
640
00:39:16,800 –> 00:39:19,000
Yes, that’s it.
Yeah, you sure have?
641
00:39:19,100 –> 00:39:24,200
You sure have and I don’t know
this just kind of reeks of that
642
00:39:24,200 –> 00:39:27,500
to me.
Also like this, this feels like
643
00:39:27,600 –> 00:39:31,800
I mean he’s the one who said he
was being groomed to join the
644
00:39:31,800 –> 00:39:38,600
CIA or FBI and we know he was
working in Special Operations
645
00:39:38,800 –> 00:39:41,600
which just sounds like domestic
CIA.
646
00:39:41,900 –> 00:39:44,800
Probably sure.
And so like I don’t know that
647
00:39:45,000 –> 00:39:48,300
Someone in that position, wrote
this, and then passed it off to
648
00:39:48,300 –> 00:39:51,800
the proud boys.
It feels conspiratorial to me
649
00:39:51,900 –> 00:39:53,900
sure.
But I know what you mean.
650
00:39:54,000 –> 00:39:56,300
Apparently.
The January 6 committee did not
651
00:39:56,400 –> 00:39:57,900
see it that way.
Yeah.
652
00:39:57,900 –> 00:40:00,800
I mean I guess we’ll find out
more eventually.
653
00:40:01,500 –> 00:40:02,900
Yeah.
But who knows?
654
00:40:02,900 –> 00:40:06,400
I mean, yeah, like I said,
nothing about this would
655
00:40:06,400 –> 00:40:09,900
surprise me if like more
evidence came out in the thing
656
00:40:09,900 –> 00:40:14,700
about the capital riots, that
always stood out to me is that
657
00:40:14,700 –> 00:40:18,900
it Whether it was intended to be
or not, it was a really great
658
00:40:18,900 –> 00:40:24,200
Honeypot operation because given
all of the cameras and all the
659
00:40:24,200 –> 00:40:28,900
facial recognition technology,
we have like that was a great
660
00:40:28,900 –> 00:40:32,600
way to smoke out.
Like the truly most radical
661
00:40:32,700 –> 00:40:36,900
elements are American politics
and get them all in the same
662
00:40:36,900 –> 00:40:41,100
place where you can identify
them and infiltrate their shit.
663
00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:45,600
Yeah, although I feel like if it
were like this has been Kind of
664
00:40:45,600 –> 00:40:48,700
my whole thing about the January
6 is that like, if it were
665
00:40:48,700 –> 00:40:53,200
really the most radical elements
of The Fringe, right?
666
00:40:53,300 –> 00:40:56,600
I feel like people, more people
would have died, right?
667
00:40:56,600 –> 00:41:00,200
And so does that speak to there,
being some government
668
00:41:00,300 –> 00:41:03,500
involvement because they did get
right?
669
00:41:03,500 –> 00:41:08,400
They got right to the cusp.
They were so fucking close and
670
00:41:08,400 –> 00:41:10,500
then it just like kind of
stopped.
671
00:41:10,700 –> 00:41:14,000
There were moments where there
were actually elected officials
672
00:41:14,000 –> 00:41:19,000
like up in the Balcony areas.
Yeah, and the rioters were just
673
00:41:19,000 –> 00:41:22,000
down there in, like, either
didn’t see the people up there
674
00:41:22,000 –> 00:41:25,600
or didn’t care that.
There were people up there so I
675
00:41:25,600 –> 00:41:27,400
don’t know.
Yeah, I don’t know.
676
00:41:28,600 –> 00:41:31,500
So, let’s talk about the big
question.
677
00:41:31,600 –> 00:41:35,600
Sure here.
Can Trump still run for office?
678
00:41:35,800 –> 00:41:39,100
If he is convicted of a, felony
goes to prison.
679
00:41:39,300 –> 00:41:42,400
Will that bar him from running
for president in the future?
680
00:41:42,800 –> 00:41:44,700
And here’s the thing, probably
not.
681
00:41:44,700 –> 00:41:49,300
No, well link to an Ohio Capital
Journal article written by a
682
00:41:49,300 –> 00:41:52,200
writer named Stephanie.
Lundqvist really well-written
683
00:41:52,200 –> 00:41:56,000
goes into all of the ins and
outs of this question and all
684
00:41:56,000 –> 00:42:00,100
the possible scenarios Rios.
But the first thing they point
685
00:42:00,100 –> 00:42:04,400
out is the simplest which is
that the constitution is pretty
686
00:42:04,400 –> 00:42:06,400
clear about what the
requirements to run for
687
00:42:06,400 –> 00:42:11,300
president are and they are no
person except a natural born
688
00:42:11,300 –> 00:42:15,400
citizen or a citizen of the
United States at the time of the
689
00:42:15,400 –> 00:42:19,400
adoption of this constitution
shall be eligible to the office
690
00:42:19,400 –> 00:42:22,100
of President.
Neither shall any person, be
691
00:42:22,100 –> 00:42:25,800
eligible to that office, who
shall not have attained to the
692
00:42:25,800 –> 00:42:29,900
age of 35.
Years and been 14 years a
693
00:42:29,900 –> 00:42:31,600
resident within the United
States.
694
00:42:31,600 –> 00:42:36,700
So the newfangled way of saying
that is you have to be 35 years
695
00:42:36,700 –> 00:42:39,900
old, you have to be a resident
and you have to have been a
696
00:42:39,900 –> 00:42:41,900
resident for 14 years.
That’s it, that’s it.
697
00:42:42,100 –> 00:42:45,400
Yep.
All the Constitution says done.
698
00:42:45,400 –> 00:42:47,900
Say anything about being a
convicted felon.
699
00:42:48,100 –> 00:42:52,100
No, and I’d like to say I think
that’s good.
700
00:42:52,100 –> 00:42:55,000
Yeah, I don’t think being a
convicted felon.
701
00:42:55,000 –> 00:42:59,000
Should bar you from running for
any office Especially president
702
00:42:59,000 –> 00:43:02,300
because especially with our
fucking justice system that
703
00:43:02,300 –> 00:43:06,500
should just not be something.
Like, it’s weird to say that
704
00:43:06,500 –> 00:43:09,600
when we’re talking about it in
the context of trump who
705
00:43:09,600 –> 00:43:13,400
obviously sucks ass and I would
not want running to be able to
706
00:43:13,400 –> 00:43:17,000
run for president again, but
like we have no reason.
707
00:43:17,000 –> 00:43:21,500
Like I just don’t want to ever
be the person saying, yeah, if
708
00:43:21,500 –> 00:43:23,800
someone’s a convicted felon,
they shouldn’t be able to run
709
00:43:23,800 –> 00:43:25,700
for office.
Absolutely, should be able to
710
00:43:25,700 –> 00:43:28,100
actually should be able to vote
and have all the It’s of a
711
00:43:28,100 –> 00:43:32,700
citizen agreed.
The article also points out
712
00:43:32,700 –> 00:43:36,300
though, that the Supreme Court
has made it pretty clear that
713
00:43:36,300 –> 00:43:39,800
Congress and or the states have
no authority to alter the
714
00:43:39,800 –> 00:43:42,200
qualifications for holding
public office.
715
00:43:42,400 –> 00:43:47,500
They point to a 1969.
Ruling nice after the House of
716
00:43:47,500 –> 00:43:50,900
Representatives barred pastor
and New York politician.
717
00:43:50,900 –> 00:43:53,200
Adam Clayton.
Powell jr.
718
00:43:53,200 –> 00:43:56,200
From taking his seat in the 90th
Congress.
719
00:43:56,400 –> 00:43:59,400
They wanted to ban him.
Because he diverted campaign
720
00:43:59,400 –> 00:44:02,900
funds and made false reports
Supreme Court ruled they
721
00:44:02,900 –> 00:44:07,100
couldn’t do that and Powell was
allowed to take office and so it
722
00:44:07,100 –> 00:44:11,000
seems like if it comes down to
it, I mean, of course the
723
00:44:11,000 –> 00:44:15,000
Supreme Court is going to side
with Trump anyway, like this, as
724
00:44:15,000 –> 00:44:18,400
it’s currently constructed but
it seems like historically.
725
00:44:18,400 –> 00:44:20,900
They’re just going to side with
Trump also.
726
00:44:21,000 –> 00:44:24,300
Yeah.
But there is Section 3 of the
727
00:44:24,300 –> 00:44:28,200
Fourteenth Amendment which
disqualifies any From holding
728
00:44:28,200 –> 00:44:32,700
federal office, quote who having
previously taken an oath to
729
00:44:32,700 –> 00:44:36,600
support the Constitution of the
United States, shall have
730
00:44:36,600 –> 00:44:42,500
engaged in Insurrection or
Rebellion against the same or
731
00:44:42,500 –> 00:44:45,900
given Aid or Comfort to the
enemies thereof.
732
00:44:46,200 –> 00:44:51,100
That’s the one that might keep
Trump from running again because
733
00:44:51,300 –> 00:44:55,200
that is one of the charges is
giving Aid or Comfort to an
734
00:44:55,200 –> 00:44:58,900
Insurrection.
So if he is Is charged and
735
00:44:58,900 –> 00:45:03,000
convicted of that crime,
according to the Constitution,
736
00:45:03,000 –> 00:45:06,100
he should not be able to run for
president again.
737
00:45:06,400 –> 00:45:09,400
And I think that’s fair.
I think that’s a wholly
738
00:45:09,400 –> 00:45:11,900
different matter than being a
felon.
739
00:45:11,900 –> 00:45:14,600
Yeah.
Like this is very specific
740
00:45:14,600 –> 00:45:16,000
circumstances.
It’s yeah.
741
00:45:16,000 –> 00:45:18,900
It’s way different than you have
DUIs on your record.
742
00:45:18,900 –> 00:45:21,500
You can’t be president.
It’s like sure you can.
743
00:45:21,600 –> 00:45:23,700
Why not very different thing,
right?
744
00:45:23,700 –> 00:45:27,500
So even then, that’s probably
going to go back and forth.
745
00:45:28,000 –> 00:45:31,500
In court.
Sure, if it happens, he could
746
00:45:31,500 –> 00:45:35,500
still run.
Even if he is in prison, that is
747
00:45:35,500 –> 00:45:38,800
a thing that’s happened in 1798.
House.
748
00:45:38,800 –> 00:45:42,000
Member Matthew lion was elected
to congress from a jail, cell
749
00:45:42,600 –> 00:45:46,100
Eugene Debs who was the founder
of the Socialist Party of
750
00:45:46,100 –> 00:45:49,800
America ran for president in
1920, while serving a prison
751
00:45:49,800 –> 00:45:54,700
sentence for sedition, yikes and
one more than nine hundred
752
00:45:54,700 –> 00:45:57,600
thousand votes and Lyndon
larouche is crazy.
753
00:45:57,800 –> 00:46:01,200
A ass also ran for president
from a jail cell in 1992.
754
00:46:01,500 –> 00:46:05,000
I forgot about Lyndon larouche
Jesus fucking Christ.
755
00:46:05,000 –> 00:46:06,800
Yeah, we did an episode about
him.
756
00:46:06,900 –> 00:46:10,700
He was he was a real character.
I know a comedian whose brother
757
00:46:10,700 –> 00:46:15,800
like fell into the Lyndon
larouche cult, weird wrapped up
758
00:46:15,800 –> 00:46:16,900
in it.
Yeah, that’s you.
759
00:46:16,900 –> 00:46:21,700
Don’t expect that like now.
Like, right in modern times did
760
00:46:21,700 –> 00:46:23,900
Lyndon larouche die.
I don’t even know what that
761
00:46:23,900 –> 00:46:26,500
fucking guy looks like.
I have no idea if he’s still
762
00:46:26,500 –> 00:46:30,700
alive.
Well, People need to know he
763
00:46:30,700 –> 00:46:35,800
died in 2019 but Olivia the
movement carries on oh good
764
00:46:36,300 –> 00:46:40,200
don’t worry.
I was I was worried so yeah it
765
00:46:40,200 –> 00:46:43,900
seems like this unless he gets
literally charged with
766
00:46:43,900 –> 00:46:47,700
Insurrection is probably not
going to keep Trump from running
767
00:46:47,700 –> 00:46:52,600
again but right if he was in
prison and somehow got elected
768
00:46:52,600 –> 00:46:56,000
the vice president, could always
just like 25th amendment him.
769
00:46:56,100 –> 00:46:59,100
So sure, we’d have that going
Force but also there’s no way
770
00:46:59,100 –> 00:47:03,200
Trump is winning an election in
2024.
771
00:47:03,200 –> 00:47:07,600
I think all of this like it’s
interesting, legal talk, but I
772
00:47:07,607 –> 00:47:10,000
don’t think anyone’s under the
impression that Trump is going
773
00:47:10,000 –> 00:47:14,400
to win an actual election in
2024.
774
00:47:14,600 –> 00:47:17,200
I don’t, I think we have hit the
point in history where he’s not
775
00:47:17,200 –> 00:47:20,700
going to get the Republican
nomination, like they would be
776
00:47:21,000 –> 00:47:23,100
out of their minds.
Yeah.
777
00:47:23,100 –> 00:47:27,200
It’s a not nominate Ron DeSantis
the way he performed in.
778
00:47:27,800 –> 00:47:31,000
He won like a hundred and
eighteen percent of the vote.
779
00:47:31,000 –> 00:47:35,400
There’s no way but but like
DeSantis against independent
780
00:47:35,400 –> 00:47:38,000
Trump I don’t think stands a
chance.
781
00:47:38,500 –> 00:47:42,400
Well that’s the thing.
I do feel like Trump will run as
782
00:47:42,400 –> 00:47:48,600
an independent sure and if that
is at all close in the end,
783
00:47:48,800 –> 00:47:51,700
there will be another Capital
Riot.
784
00:47:51,700 –> 00:47:54,400
There will absolutely what it’ll
just be directed.
785
00:47:54,400 –> 00:47:59,400
It Ron DeSantis I guess but like
I also like there’s no way of
786
00:47:59,400 –> 00:48:01,700
trump runs again that his vice
presidential.
787
00:48:01,700 –> 00:48:05,400
Pick would be someone who would
25th amendment.
788
00:48:05,400 –> 00:48:09,900
Hell no Abby was in prison.
No, well, I don’t know because
789
00:48:09,900 –> 00:48:12,900
Trump is going to pick some evil
fuck face.
790
00:48:13,200 –> 00:48:16,200
Like I think it’s gonna be like
Carrie lake or Marjorie Taylor
791
00:48:16,200 –> 00:48:20,400
Green, in that case, I don’t
trust them to not stab Trump in
792
00:48:20,400 –> 00:48:24,600
the back, if he’s in prison,
maybe but I feel like anybody
793
00:48:24,600 –> 00:48:27,100
first of all, he’s going to be
very select, I don’t think we’re
794
00:48:27,107 –> 00:48:29,600
going to get another.
Mike Pence or somebody, you know
795
00:48:29,600 –> 00:48:31,100
like so I do think you’re
straight.
796
00:48:31,100 –> 00:48:35,300
I do think it’s gonna be carry
Lake maybe but like the thing is
797
00:48:35,300 –> 00:48:39,700
like I feel like anybody who
they’re not going to backstab
798
00:48:39,700 –> 00:48:42,100
them because they know they he’s
where the power comes.
799
00:48:42,100 –> 00:48:46,300
It’s much easier to work like
exercise power through him.
800
00:48:46,500 –> 00:48:51,100
Yeah, than it is to try to take
his power because you can’t, if
801
00:48:51,100 –> 00:48:53,900
you backstabbing his followers
are not going to be on your
802
00:48:53,900 –> 00:48:56,100
side.
Oh no, definitely not.
803
00:48:56,200 –> 00:49:00,600
I mean it’s I was Offering it up
as a possible solution.
804
00:49:00,600 –> 00:49:03,300
I don’t think it would actually
happen, sure?
805
00:49:03,300 –> 00:49:08,200
Yeah, but again, I also don’t
think Trump is going to win an
806
00:49:08,200 –> 00:49:13,000
election fair and square, even
if he runs as a third party
807
00:49:13,000 –> 00:49:19,000
because there is a big cult of
personality around Ron DeSantis
808
00:49:19,000 –> 00:49:23,600
to yeah.
And Ron, DeSantis is going to be
809
00:49:23,600 –> 00:49:27,600
offered up as a moderate
alternative.
810
00:49:27,800 –> 00:49:30,500
To Trump, which is bullshit.
He’s not Mater.
811
00:49:30,500 –> 00:49:31,100
Okay?
Yeah.
812
00:49:31,100 –> 00:49:33,500
In the slightest like he is
Trump.
813
00:49:33,500 –> 00:49:36,300
The only difference is, he
doesn’t dispute the results of
814
00:49:36,300 –> 00:49:40,900
the 2020 election.
The bar is so low now that like
815
00:49:40,900 –> 00:49:44,100
that makes him moderate compared
to Trump in a lot of people’s
816
00:49:44,100 –> 00:49:47,000
eyes.
And I tell you where he will
817
00:49:47,000 –> 00:49:54,700
also get secret votes, is he’ll
get some votes from people who
818
00:49:55,200 –> 00:50:00,000
maybe consider themselves like
Kratz or more liberal leaning,
819
00:50:00,000 –> 00:50:05,700
but who also feel like woke is
getting a little out of control.
820
00:50:05,800 –> 00:50:09,600
He’ll get votes from them too,
because that’s Rhonda.
821
00:50:09,600 –> 00:50:16,200
Santos’s whole thing is Florida
is where woke goes to die and
822
00:50:16,300 –> 00:50:19,600
great.
I’m telling you, he will people
823
00:50:19,600 –> 00:50:22,900
won’t be vocal about it.
It’ll be that like silent
824
00:50:22,900 –> 00:50:25,800
majority type shit where people
are like yeah man.
825
00:50:25,800 –> 00:50:29,000
I’m not I’m not voting for her.
Dissenters and those
826
00:50:29,000 –> 00:50:31,300
motherfuckers will secretly vote
for Ron.
827
00:50:31,300 –> 00:50:33,900
DeSantis just so like white
dudes.
828
00:50:33,900 –> 00:50:36,700
Get more representation and
movies going forward.
829
00:50:36,700 –> 00:50:41,600
I don’t know, but maybe DeSantis
is, he’s going to be a dangerous
830
00:50:41,800 –> 00:50:47,200
candidate in absolute 24.
I mean, obviously he’s an evil
831
00:50:47,200 –> 00:50:51,800
piece of shit who should be
strung behind a horse and ridden
832
00:50:51,800 –> 00:50:55,100
through the country?
But like, you know, yeah, I
833
00:50:55,107 –> 00:50:59,700
don’t know, as for whether like
It would take the election or I
834
00:50:59,707 –> 00:51:05,100
don’t know, do something to
seize control maybe but he I
835
00:51:05,200 –> 00:51:10,900
like with Trump I could also
just as easily see him like
836
00:51:11,000 –> 00:51:14,400
being a lazy bitch about it
because he liked those are the
837
00:51:14,400 –> 00:51:18,900
two wolves inside of him.
Are power-hungry egomaniac in a
838
00:51:18,900 –> 00:51:23,100
lazy bitch.
And so yeah he just he hates to
839
00:51:23,100 –> 00:51:26,600
lose.
That’s because l’m and yeah I
840
00:51:26,600 –> 00:51:29,200
don’t know.
I just His base is so fucking
841
00:51:29,200 –> 00:51:32,400
unpredictable.
That’s it is that I agree the
842
00:51:32,400 –> 00:51:36,700
whole thing in there so
committed to him as a person
843
00:51:36,700 –> 00:51:40,700
that like any like if it comes
to pass that he is charged and
844
00:51:40,700 –> 00:51:42,400
arrested like that’s going to be
the thing.
845
00:51:42,400 –> 00:51:47,800
We won’t have to wait until 2024
like yeah, that will turn into.
846
00:51:47,800 –> 00:51:49,600
That’s where the protest will
come from.
847
00:51:50,000 –> 00:51:54,900
And then it’s kind of like, you
know, the NFL playoffs like, it
848
00:51:54,900 –> 00:51:58,400
doesn’t matter how bad a team is
once they get to The playoffs,
849
00:51:58,400 –> 00:52:01,200
there’s a decent chance.
They might win the Super Bowl
850
00:52:01,200 –> 00:52:05,600
and if you get to the point
where enough people take to the
851
00:52:05,600 –> 00:52:09,400
streets because they’re mad,
that Trump isn’t going to be
852
00:52:09,400 –> 00:52:12,800
allowed to run for office.
It’s kind of up to the military
853
00:52:12,800 –> 00:52:16,100
at that point.
You gotta hope the military
854
00:52:16,100 –> 00:52:20,800
makes the right choice and sides
with the government and not the
855
00:52:20,800 –> 00:52:24,400
people.
I feel weird in saying that but
856
00:52:24,700 –> 00:52:27,500
I don’t know about any of that
but I will.
857
00:52:28,000 –> 00:52:29,900
That’s how Coos happened, like
it.
858
00:52:29,900 –> 00:52:31,700
No.
I know I understand who the
859
00:52:31,707 –> 00:52:34,300
military sides with.
I, absolutely, I understand
860
00:52:34,300 –> 00:52:40,100
that, but I will say that it’s a
good thing that we have such a
861
00:52:40,100 –> 00:52:45,300
strong incumbent in a wait, Joe
Biden.
862
00:52:45,300 –> 00:52:47,700
Fuck.
Well, we also feel like Joe
863
00:52:47,700 –> 00:52:49,900
Biden.
We also have that system of
864
00:52:49,900 –> 00:52:52,500
checks and balances that will
keep Trump from ever taking
865
00:52:52,500 –> 00:52:53,700
power.
Oh, sure.
866
00:52:53,700 –> 00:52:55,300
Yeah.
And that’s been really good at
867
00:52:55,300 –> 00:52:57,200
dealing with him in the past.
Yeah, yeah.
868
00:52:57,200 –> 00:52:59,300
It’s It’s taken care of
everything.
869
00:52:59,300 –> 00:53:02,400
So yeah, I guess we’ll see how
this week unfolds.
870
00:53:02,600 –> 00:53:06,700
Uh-huh, got that anniversary
coming up and yeah, this is,
871
00:53:06,700 –> 00:53:08,600
this is a story we’ll keep
following.
872
00:53:08,600 –> 00:53:10,600
Obviously, this is a, this is a
big one.
873
00:53:10,700 –> 00:53:16,000
And if you’ve read the 845 page,
January 6 committee report,
874
00:53:16,000 –> 00:53:18,800
please report back to me and
Olivia with what’s in.
875
00:53:18,800 –> 00:53:21,800
It actually don’t because we’d
have to just verify it for
876
00:53:21,800 –> 00:53:26,300
ourselves that point might as
well just read it, you know, a
877
00:53:26,308 –> 00:53:28,600
bunch of flames.
Go to library.
878
00:53:28,600 –> 00:53:33,300
Push our glasses up, eating
ducks.
879
00:53:33,500 –> 00:53:38,000
And that the government look.
Sometimes my glasses slip to the
880
00:53:38,000 –> 00:53:41,200
base of my nose, and I need to
push them back up.
881
00:53:41,200 –> 00:53:43,200
Can’t help it while I’m
correcting.
882
00:53:43,200 –> 00:53:46,200
Someone’s point about Marvel
movies.
883
00:53:46,700 –> 00:53:51,100
I can’t help the timing.
So I think that’s our episode,
884
00:53:51,100 –> 00:53:52,300
right?
I think so.
885
00:53:52,500 –> 00:53:55,400
I think we did it.
We’re talking about, some
886
00:53:55,400 –> 00:53:59,000
equally heavy subject matter,
Next week on.
887
00:53:59,100 –> 00:54:06,200
Oh yeah, absolutely a bonus
episode about a documentary that
888
00:54:06,800 –> 00:54:09,800
we’ve covered one of them.
We covered the first documentary
889
00:54:09,800 –> 00:54:13,600
on the pretty scary podcast, me
and Cindy aravena, covered it.
890
00:54:13,600 –> 00:54:19,100
And Olivia and I are covering
part two of the sir no face
891
00:54:19,100 –> 00:54:23,000
documentary.
This one to face the gray and
892
00:54:23,000 –> 00:54:27,500
now if you can believe it, the
name makes even less sense.
893
00:54:27,900 –> 00:54:30,700
Then sir no face.
So that’s your guess.
894
00:54:30,800 –> 00:54:33,600
It sure does.
So, be on the lookout for that.
895
00:54:33,600 –> 00:54:37,400
That will be a bonus episode
coming out next week and do we
896
00:54:37,400 –> 00:54:40,400
have anything to plug before we
get out of here?
897
00:54:40,500 –> 00:54:44,800
I am doing comedy again for the
first time since covid have a
898
00:54:44,800 –> 00:54:49,200

00:54:54,800 –> 00:54:57,500

You tickets are going to be
cheap, they’ll be on sale soon.
902
00:55:00,000 –> 00:55:02,600
They’re only $5, I’m going to be
on it.
903
00:55:02,700 –> 00:55:08,200
Jeff may will be on it at if
Myers is hosting and we’re still
904
00:55:08,200 –> 00:55:13,800
booking more comics danger and
countless thousands are doing a
905
00:55:13,800 –> 00:55:17,800
set.
So come out plan comedy in music
906
00:55:17,800 –> 00:55:21,100

plug.

start on it, check out the
conspiracy to show patreon page,
913
00:55:41,500 –> 00:55:43,800

00:55:43,800 –> 00:55:46,200
Let’s get out of here.
