Julie Kelly and Sebastian Discuss the Death of Brian Sicknick
"Let's drill down on a couple of things. We have to talk about Proud Boys. We have to talk about this. This amazing article that I've mocked up, which is your handy January 6th fact sheet. But let's talk about the first pieces of footage that Jacob translate footage and the Brian sicknick off cyclic footage. So with the case of sicknick, here we have heard again and again and again, the president, the vice president, Pelosi and others say that police officers died that day. No police officers died that day. Only people like Ashley babbitt were killed that day. The actual January 6th demonstrators and now we have proof positive do we not that there was no violent event on behalf of a January 6th protester that led to the death of Brian sicknick. If I had to pinpoint the most outrageous lie related to January 6th, then there are a lot. I would point to the exploitation of the tragic death of Brian at age 42 by all accounts a really decent man who had served his country with capitol police officer, I've been in communication with one of his closest friends who he actually texted. On January 6th said they'd antifa was there, by the way, that's been lost in a lot of the coverage as well. But Brian sicknick tragedy, tragically died of a stroke caused by two blood clots on January 7th. The next day, though, The New York Times rolled out a completely fabricated piece sourcing two anonymous law enforcement officials that claimed Ryan sicknick had been bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher by Trump supporters. Now this provoked an understandably nationwide outrage that Trump supporters would beat to death a capitol police officer with a fire extinguisher. Of course, I didn't believe it from the beginning because there was still no video or pictures that even claimed came close to showing that. But nonetheless, his death was exploited by the news media. By House Democrats by Republicans,

Tyre Nichols documents: Officer never explained stop to him
"Tyree Nichols was never told why they stopped him in a traffic stop. I'm Lisa dwyer. Newly released documents show that the officer who pulled Tyree Nichols from his car before police fatally beat him, never explained why he was being stopped and emerging reports from Memphis residents suggest that that was common. The Memphis police department blasted Demetrius Haley and for other officers as blatantly unprofessional and asked that they be stripped of the ability to work as police for their role in the January 7th beating that according to documents released by the Tennessee peace officers standards and training commission. They also include revelations that Haley took photographs of Nichols as he lay propped up against a police car, then sent the photos to other officers and a female acquaintance.

Al Sharpton Is a Thug, Making Money Off of Race Wars
"We are not to call him a reverend. That guy is a criminal thug, that's who he is, a race baiting criminal thug. An evil man. He is not a man of the cloth. Period. Anyway, Al sharpton was on one of the channels. Going off on our police officers and saying that our police officers were in fact gangbangers. Unbelievable. The amount of vitriol coming out of this guy. Unbelievable. So anyway, Al sharpton is going to be here. He's delivering the eulogy at the Tyree Nichols funeral, which is today Tyree Nichols died on January just a few days after January 7th at the hands of 5 Memphis police officers. The guy was murdered. It's a terrible, terrible story. But for Al sharpton to go out there and paint every single Memphis police officer is a gangbanger is just, it's not true. He's a liar. But they're trying. And it's been very difficult. They are trying. To make this a race issue. They are, they are, you know, folks, even now they're trying to figure out some way to blame the white man for this. Because they want a race war in this country. And why does someone like an Al sharpton want a race war? Why does boron Hussein Obama want to race? I'll tell you why, because they make money off of this.

The Key Issues Involved in the Tyre Nichols Killing
"I'd like to offer some thoughts on the Tyree Nichols killing. Kyrie Nichols is a black guy lived in the area of Memphis and on January 7th of this year, he was in his car, according to police driving recklessly, although we haven't seen any video of that, the police nevertheless, and this part of it is on video, they pull them over and then they walk up to the car and yank him out of the car and tell him to get on the ground. He seems to be complying. He says, okay, okay, okay, man. And while he's on the ground, they tase him. They hit him with a taser at which point I think natural flight kicks in and he begins to run. So they chase him down and unbelievably. Beat him to death. So this is anyone who's seen the video, Debbie and I watched it. I watched, I'd watch one version of it yesterday I watched another version this morning. It's really hard to justify. In fact, David's reaction where she goes, well, this is worse than what Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd. This is inexcusable. However, the policeman, the four cops who did this, were black. There wasn't a white policeman involved at all. And so for the left, this has become a little bit of a problem. Obviously, it is a clear case. I think it's a clear case for anyone who sees the video. Of police brutality.

Robyn Pfaffman: Tyre Nichols Video May Be 'Worse Than Rodney King'
"Robin, it's our understanding and you and I have covered crime new year's for years and you've covered some of the most high profile criminal cases in America. I have not seen a case like this where even in the aftermath, the immediate aftermath back on January 7th, where they would not even release the incident report. So we have no idea what precipitated the traffic stop. We have no idea what the encounter was. As a matter of fact, we were all led to believe by police in the early days of this that the guy fled from police and said he was suffering, he was having a problem breathing. Well, now it turns out, according to our sources, that that video is going to show three full minutes. Of this man literally being beaten to death at the hands, the literal hands of those police officers. Todd, it's outrageous. And again, I defer to Memphis police chief CJ Davis. In this interview that she did with CNN, she was very measured in her words, but she was very honest. And she said that the taste is really bad. She was outraged. And the other quote that she said was, you will see acts that defy humanity and that the video in her words is alarming. And I'm going to defer here to the police chief because I haven't seen the video, but I'm going to trust her. And if she says that it's worse than the 1991 beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles, then Todd, we have to we should be going with that, I do not like videotape that's taken out of context. I was not just a snippet. I'd like to see the whole thing like you're saying, what led up to the original stop of the driver, how to see then get away, how do they encounter him a second time, what precipitates the beating and his mother, by the way, says that her son was quote beat like a pinata.

FOX News: Authorities Warn Tyre Nichols Video 'Will Be Hard to Watch'
"The police chief who has seen the video says it defies humanity. It's heartbreaking. Here's a report from Fox News channel sharing the details of all of these events that led to the death of 29 year old Tyree Nichols. Hours from now Memphis police are expected to release body cam footage from the night of Tyree Nichols death and authorities are warning that video will be hard to watch now. This all started on January 7th when the 29 year old was pulled over by Memphis police on suspicion of reckless driving. What we're about to play here is a recording from the police scanner from part of the confrontation. Listen. We got one more big run. Pull over. He's running around. We have one running on foot. He's fighting at this time. The nickels families legal team has seen the footage and they say it shows the 5 officers beating Tyree for three minutes. He died in the hospital three days after the incident. Now, cities across the nation are bracing anticipating the tape could trigger civil unrest with the methodist police chief giving this morning. This is not just a professional failing. This is a failing of basic humanity toward another individual. This incident was heinous, reckless, and inhumane. And in the vein of transparency, when the video is released in the coming days, you will see this for yourselves. None of this is a calling card for inciting violence or destruction on our community or against our citizens.

The Hajj is expected to return in full, Cardinal Pell remains controversial even in death, and Jordanian Christians celebrate Christ's baptism
"On this week's AP religion roundup. The Hodge pilgrimage is expected to return in full cardinal pal remains controversial, even in death, and Jordanian Christians celebrate Christ's baptism. A God. Sydney, Australia's archbishop paid tribute Wednesday to cardinal George Powell. The controversial archbishop died Tuesday. Pell was a one time financial adviser to Pope Francis. He spent over 400 days in solitary confinement in his native Australia on child sex abuse charges before his convictions were unanimously overturned. Pell was a divisive figure. He lived to see Vatican rivals charged with financial crimes after he worked to reform the church's finances. In Australia, he was a lightning rod for disagreements over whether the church had been properly held to account for historic child sex abuse. It was revealed after his death that he pinned a secret memo on his growing concern about what he considered the disaster and catastrophe of the papacy under Pope Francis. Jordanian Catholics prayed for health and peace as they gathered near the eastern bank of the Jordan River Friday to mark the baptism of Jesus Christ. The baptism celebration closes out the liturgical Christmas season among western churches, where it celebrated anywhere from January 7th to the 13th. More than 3000 pilgrims attended the event, where according to Christian tradition, John the Baptist baptized Jesus. The Latin patriarch of Jerusalem led prayers at a church located near the eastern bank of the river, UNESCO has declared the area a World Heritage Site of immense religious significance. Saudi Arabia announced that Islam's annual Hodge pilgrimage will return to pre-pandemic levels this year. In previous years, the annual religious commemoration was curtailed over concerns about the coronavirus. The Hajj is required of all able bodied Muslims once in their life and represents one of the world's largest gatherings of people. Before the pandemic, the pilgrimage drew millions each year to Islam's sacred city of Mecca. This year the Hajj begins during the last week of June. I'm Walter ratliff

The Vatican lays Pope Benedict to rest, and Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas
"On this week's AP religion roundup, the Vatican lays Pope Benedict to rest and Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas. One Pope laid to rest another Thursday in an extraordinary ceremony at the Vatican. Pope Francis opened the funeral of retired Pope Benedict XVI with a prayer. He and the Roman Catholic faithful bade farewell to Benedict, who resigned the papacy a decade ago. Warner's crowded into Saint Peter's square starting in the early morning Thursday. Clergy and lay people alike created a mosaic of garments from the red skull caps of the cardinals and the white robes of the priests to the simple gray tunics of monks, and the puffy winter jackets of the ordinary faithful. They cheered as pallbearers and morning suits and white gloves carry Benedict's simple casket out of the basilica and placed it on an ornate carpet in the front of the altar in the vast square. The former Joseph ratzinger, who died December 31st at age 95, is considered one of the 20th century's greatest theologians and spent his lifetime upholding church doctrine. But he will go down in history for a singular revolutionary act that changed the future of the papacy. He retired, the first Pope in 6th centuries to do so. Meanwhile, the peak of the Christmas season arrived for Orthodox Christians around the world, as many celebrated epiphany on January 6th. Pin Bulgaria, the sounds of drums and bagpipes followed men dressed in traditional white embroidered shirts as they waited into the tunja river to retrieve a crucifix that was cast into the waters. While the Orthodox Christian churches in Greece, Bulgaria and Romania celebrate the feast on January 6th, orthodox churches in Russia, Ukraine and Serbia followed the Julian calendar. According to which, epiphany is celebrated on January 19th as their Christmas falls on January 7th. Some western Christian churches celebrate epiphany as three kings day, which marks the visit of the Magi or three wise men to the baby Jesus, closing out the Christmas season. I'm Walter ratliff.

The FBI Was Intimately Involved in Twitter Censorship...
"Was intimately involved. In making sure the correct people knew at Twitter that this story was coming in to set the standard to lay the foundation. To be able to censor the story. I want to get to a piece of tape here. Boy, there's so much tape to play. Do you remember in one of the most famous consequential transparent chilling alarming interviews in recent history? Remember when Chuck Schumer Chuck E. Schumer? Went on the Rachel maddow program. This was right before Donald Trump was sworn into president. I think it was January 7th, January 4th, 2017, the date does matter because remember, that's right near the famous Oval Office meeting between Joe Biden and Loretta lynch and Barack Hussein Obama, January 3rd, 2017. Thank you. And Chuck Schumer, you just a visual. He's leaning in. He's got his glasses on his nose. And he has that snarly intense, but almost mafioso tone to him. You feel as if he's almost bragging about an upcoming hit, is that a mob family has on an unsuspecting bystander. The arrogance that's not even the right word, the arrogance, it's the confidence he has. The hubris, the smugness of it, Donald Trump pretends to be such a businessman. But he should know better because you're about to pick a fight you won't win. Play cut 13. You take on the intelligence community. They have 6 ways from Sunday at getting back at you.

So what he's saying, Todd, if someone died anywhere on the globe on January 6th, it had to do with January 6th because January 6th happened and somebody died. So but four causation will causation is important. Unfortunately, officer Brian picnic died of natural causes in or about the same time, I think he died January 7th or January 8th, but it had absolutely nothing to do. It's sad to be sure. It is tragic to be sure. It's a young man died before he should have absolutely. But had absolutely nothing to do with the events of January 6th and of course these folks, you know this Todd. I mean, on that day and the days after it immediately after it, every single media outlet went out and told the American people over and over and over again that this officer was beaten to death with a fire extinguisher and of course we were all shocked and appalled and so offended at the possibility that one of our citizens would do that to somebody, any citizen would do that to somebody completely fabricated. But yet, you know, we're a year and a half almost going on two years later and they just keep on promulgating the lie and there are a certain amount of American people that just, you know, if the ambition wouldn't have said anything, they're prone to believe this.

Fighting in the courts for the constitution. So we're great to we're grateful for what you all do and we're grateful for you in particular today for coming online because many people want to know what happened in the Supreme Court in the Supreme Court recently with the two rulings. So for people who really haven't followed the ruling specifically the one about the one that was struck down, I guess it was 6 to three. And then the one that was not struck down, tell us a little bit about those rulings. Sure. So back in September, President Biden announced that he was going to require the federal agencies to mandate vaccination. And his chief of staff even called this a workaround knowing that federal authority wasn't there to implement these requirements. And so the agencies, the federal agencies, began going one by one and requiring vaccination in areas that they could control. And the occupational safety and health administration, which is part of the Department of Labor, issued a requirement back in November that all private employers with 100 or more employees require those employees to be vaccinated or if they chose not to get vaccinated. They had to be tested every single week and they had a mask up if they were unvaccinated. So they sweeping mandate covering over 80 million American employees. Simultaneously, the center for Medicaid and Medicare services CMS issued a mandate requiring healthcare workers at 15 different types of facilities that receive either Medicare or Medicaid funds to be vaccinated with only very narrow exemptions. So that covered over 10 million workers. So right there, you have almost a 100 million Americans covered by federal mandates. And those were the two mandates that the Supreme Court took up at Earl argument on January 7th and issued decisions last week. The osha mandate, the one that covered the private employees, the 80 plus million private employees was struck down like you said 6 to three. And the Medicare and Medicaid mandate that covered healthcare workers was upheld by a 5 to four

Supreme Court to Hear Oral Arguments Over Vaccine Mandates on January 7
"Supreme Court yesterday agreed to take up disputes over the Biden administration's nationwide vaccine or testing COVID-19 mandate. This were large businesses, 100 or more, and a separate vaccine requirement for healthcare workers. The brief court order said that the court will hear oral arguments on January the 7th in two different cases. The court delayed action on an emergency request of both of these the plaintiffs were asking for an emergency ruling, the court denied that. And appeals court on Friday allowed the workplace mandate which covers about 80 million American workers to go into a fact prompting businesses and states and other business groups to ask the Supreme Court to block it. And the other case concerns whether the administration could require healthcare workers at facilities that treat federally funded Medicare and Medicaid patients to receive shots while litigation continues. So I guess we'll wait until after Christmas January 7th to see a resolution on this.

All of that stuff has to come to light everybody in America needs to be made to sit in front of a TV and Watch em, all of the stuff come out about Donald Trump in the hopes that they can finally go. Damn. He was a friggin crook. It's a shame that they know they're not there now like the rest of us the config encounter to it's a shame that there's still people that are like this but I'm telling you, you know, it's it's that this asshole the storm the capital from West Virginia. I mean, you know, I I want him I want him to be prosecuted. He broke into my Capital my nation's capital. It's not his Capital he gave up his right to wage. To call the Washington DC his Capital when he stormed it yesterday. He lost that right. They are no longer Americans as far as I'm concerned. They are nothing more than frigging the American Taliban. They are not Americans are not Patriots. They are friggin Isis. That's what they are and they need to be treated accordingly. I agree and you know, the one fear I have a Richard is that that that that that we're going to drop the ball and not hold all these people accountable. Let me tell you something everybody running for office the next day and election in two years. Let me tell you something if these people along Donald Trump first off. Here's the thing right now Donald Trump can literally run for office in 2024. So can Don Jr. Soaking Ivanka, they can all run for office again wage. They just participated in a crime on our soil. They basically I'm not going to say I'm not going to say fire it up a bunch of people and started a riot. I'm going to suck. They basically took up arms. They created their own military to take up arms and storm our Capital. They are treasonous assholes. We should set the example, I don't give a shitt hang them all hang all four of those friggin Trump's. I don't give two shits about it, but something needs to happen and if our elected officials allow these people to get away with this they better known never darken my doorstep and asked for a vote. I will physically throw them off my porch or surge. Thanks for the five bucks says imagine how difficult it would have been to get him out if he had won his second term terrifying how close we have come to it. Could you imagine that? Oh my God this country. Well, it would be over it would be our own Trump's only focus on these next four years had he won wage would be to solidify his dictatorship so that in 2024, he could say, I'm sorry, but no no, no, that's exactly what happened. I mean this guy has read wage. He has read the playbook for friggin Hitler. That's the only book I believe he's read from cover to cover from cover to cover. That's it. The only book he's ever been cover-to-cover unacceptable. I know well, let me tell you. Is there anything that you want to plug their major? Cuz I'm going to you know get going. Okay, that's cool.

"The secretary of state of Georgia throw out or find 11780 votes to put them over the top. I mean, you know, will you just like are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, I was and I am still I guess when I heard the whole tape in context how long there's a lot of cover your asses in there where he keeps saying, I just want the truth. I just want the truth which made it honestly a little unclear to me whether he actually he might actually really thought he won. I don't know. I mean it was a remarkable tape. And yeah, I need to find if you pull that out. I need to find 11,000 votes that seems he's saying regardless of the truth, but he does keep same. You know, I want I want I want I want throughout the thing which suggests more derangement to me. Yeah, certainly a remarkable piece of evidence. Yeah, cuz you know Glenn Kirsten believes it's illegal both on a state and on a federal level. You know that Georgia. I mean the state of Georgia could go after them. Now this guy's going to have so many so many legal problems. I mean as soon as as soon as that January 20th comes do you think he's going to leave the country before January 20th? I did not know. What wasn't I mean there was some indication that Air Force One was going to be go to Scotland. I guess I don't think Russia has much use for him anymore. So, oh actually they might though he has all the secrets right so he does so maybe they would take him in. If I were him, I would leave the country. I think he he he I I but I don't know. I'm not I don't know. I just I worry that there needs to be some kind of deal cut like if you leave we won't prosecute you. I hope that doesn't happen. Oh God. I hope that doesn't happen as well. Not really rumors of that. But an analysis before the election that that was what was going to happen was that he was going to challenge the result and make it a nightmare and and there was going to be a a negotiation wage or he leaves and but in return for no prosecutions the good news is I'm not sure you could tie all of the state AG's into that all the state prosecutors. I don't think so. So even if you a boy, yeah, even if you could get off the hook, I don't know. I don't really know how that would work. But well do you think song Like Louis to Joy is going to step down or is he could have to be forced out. I imagine he'll have to be forced out. I'm not sure what would be the reason for him to step down. Frankly. Even the media has been a bit easy on him. If it comes out later if we get a little more data on on voter suppression via the post office than maybe at that point right now. No one's even really looking at it. I mean, that's the other thing with the firehose of falsehoods. I don't know that they sit down and say these are going to be the benefits of the fire of you know, throwing all this bullshit at it. But one of the side effects of it is wage, nobody looks at the things that really are concerned which is what they did with vote-by-mail and I have to keep reminding myself. Even I forget about it almost every day. I forget all about it and then like, oh, yeah, they did that stuff with the post office and edit. It did appear surgical. So like the day after the election In most of the states most of the Swing States as long as it was postmarked by a certain day, even if it arrived a day or two after the election, it would still be counted but the post office delivery in the the Battleground States that had yet to be called was like 10% lower than it was anywhere else and that's and certainly they knew that Democrats were most were the ones who buy large numbers were wage were using vote-by-mail. So it would have a disproportionate impact on Democrats and it was a Washington Post article. I thought it was like sort of the best analysis. I had seen or the most striking members I'd seen of it, but I hope we'll see a lot more of that sort of analysis cuz I've also seen some people saying It wasn't that bad. You know, they were going to they were going to destroy the equipment anyway, and I don't know. So right now there's not a lot of pressure on him. I don't think no one's even looking at him. Well God. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's just it's just ridiculous. Thank you, 832-3730 and for the $5 super sticker, so what's going on, you know, is there anything you know that you like to plug that you're doing that you want people to, you know to follow well, no, I mean my medium account just follow my Twitter account. I guess I'll probably be putting out some articles fairly soon. What we'll need to be about. Well, I want to want to debunk some of the lies that have been told but Trump allies about election Integrity about you know, their claims that it was rigged. I'm going to have faith just try to go through a lot of the top ones that will be in a week or two. I have a project that I'm working on, but I'm not able to announce it. So I hope you announce Liam first immediate well I'll try and because you may not announce it for a while. It could be a while but there is something I'm working on. I actually just shooting some kind of well, one of actively working on Thursday is 1 would be in the works. Like it may not happen. That's how I hate to even even mention it. I don't know so no not at the moment. I just need to follow my Twitter account and as I get inspired to write them up, I will write them up and put them out there. A lot of there's just a lot of narrative correction that has to be done now with election security because it's sort of gone off the rails and at the answer cannot be that we ignore wage real vulnerabilities or pretend that our system is really transparent when it isn't we have a lot of fixing that needs to happen. And so that that can't be the outcome of all of Trumps lies. I have to say Jennifer. I am so happy to have you on in a better mood because I I felt so sad for you, you know could last time you were on you would like so depressed wage. Really depressed. I was really depressed. It's been a hard time. It's been it's been a roller-coaster. And yeah, and you know a lot of what I've said, I'm a personally I'm a little bit relieved. There's a little less before the election. I I mean I was so worried about well, it's it doesn't really matter. I actually can take a little breather at the moment. It's kind of like you almost there is something coming up there is something coming up. Yeah. Well, we do have to be on the lookout for new voting systems being sold. It's it's starting up again in New York. They're they're looking at a system called the S&S Express vote which some election Security Experts have have expressed concerns about in they've got to certify it. It's another touchscreen. I have long advocated, you know, forehand Mark paper ballots instead. I think that they have less problems there less complex the more complexity you add on off. Problems. There are the more opacity there is so anyway that's coming that's coming up and don't forget and gentleman, please tell everyone that wants a the ones that do the 40000 the Republican campaign. They've donated $30,000 to the Republican State Legislative committee or some the name along those lines since 2013. And mission is to elect officials to State office. I mean, I've been told not by them. They don't speak to me but they likely donated to the Democratic counterpart, but I haven't been able to find a source of life yet. You know what? Yes, and it's just had they've had a lot of issues with their their the ones whose in twenty-twenty a team of scientists led by Kevin Smith Island found thirty-five of their receiving end election systems online.

"And honestly, I haven't had time to double-check the numbers myself, but I would say this is worth looking at how about Kentucky? Because it really looked like Amy McGrath was going to beat Mitch McConnell. I mean you didn't see that's the thing. Yes. I mean every day every election is worth looking at and certainly with someone who's been as problematic as Mitch McConnell. I think that weighs into it if you have to divide up your resources on on where to spend money to try to make sure outcome was correct. That might be a good place to look. However The polls did predict a landslide victory for Mitch McConnell. So the he was named silver gave him and gave him a 96% chance of gaining and Amy McGrath of four percent chance to give you an idea that's based on his compilation of the polls and the exit polls also predicted a victory by ten points by Mitch McConnell. So he had a lower wage rate. The thing is what some people don't tell you is that she had a lower one like so just before the election he was up between 39% and 44% to 44% poll had a number for McGrath to and it showed her at 34% So he was expected to win that said according to the exit polls. He won by more than he was expected to win by so he was expected when club or heard by ten points and he caught her by like nineteen or something. So that's a pretty dramatic shift. It is where I'm not going to say. Any racism is we shouldn't look at we should look at it. Yes, but he's dead. That 18% number was largely his National approval which was very different than his approval in the state of Kentucky that the 18% number that's been going around and that The Raw Story reported on was for the most part from it was a national poll. There was maybe a similar one in 2017 in Kentucky that his approval went up after that electric a has a question Rove tried to shut off. So let me get hold on ask Jenny why Rove didn't want an audit. I can't read his mind. I don't trust Rove at all. So, you know among the election Integrity Community. Rove people are very suspicious of Rove in particular with the 2004 and and 2012 election. I mean Obama won 2012, but God you know, I hate to sometimes even go into it, but he had that he had that Fox News meltdown in 2012 that made it appear that he thought it was going to go a different way and I had hackers white hat Hackers from the group Anonymous claiming to have infiltrated is organization or sorry. I was get a cough when I get excited and off but in any event 2004 his a guy who was considered his it Guru a republican operative named Mike Connell and another Republican operative routed off as County reported results through a backup server hosted by company called smart Tech and Chattanooga, Tennessee. So that's Ohio's results going to Chattanooga, Tennessee smart Tech also home and at that time the bush White House is emails which had gone missing like twenty two million emails had been lost when they were Congress was trying to get a hold of them in connection with some Bush White House scandals, and they claimed to have lost them Thursday. Smartech, that's Who provided the reported results from Ohio and that came out. Only a few years after the 2004 election, but it came out due to a lawsuit against Karl Rove and others that alleged he had rigged the 2004 election through these Republican operatives one huge it in a private plane crash and on and on so I don't trust Karl Rove. I don't know why I mean the theory obviously that a lot of people have out there as he is that there are some skeletons that he doesn't want want Unearthed by Audits and that maybe he didn't want Trump to win. He just wanted down the races but those are just that's just speculation. Yeah, and now, you know, you're an attorney as well. What do you think about Biden's pic of Merrick Garland to be as attorney general? I don't know. I haven't read up about him enough. I mean, I know that he was the Supreme Court nominee. He's pretty conservative, right? I I don't know. I hope he's really aggressive. What else? Well, Gwen Kirchner says that that he knows him and he will be aggressive. And yeah, so I you know, and you know, I'm so hoping that he is because Trump and and his you know, the corrupt people in his administration was well, which probably all of them and then his spawn all have got to be held accountable because of all dead. And I mean, what was your reaction yesterday? I mean I was in I mean I was just in like discussed. I couldn't believe that Trump and Trump jr. And cited this trial by combat. Yeah, that was Juliana's exact words trial by combat and they're trying to say it was antifa know you're a you're a co-conspirator Sydney package to say it's it's antifa your co-conspirator called for trial by combat. I'm sorry. No and Linwood was calling saying that this was going to be we're Pence was going to get executed. So no those are her co-conspirators as far as I'm concerned. And if I honestly what I think if I had stormed the capital which of course I would never do but I'd be worried about the felony murder statute. I did ask Len kirschner about it. Maybe I'm off on a tangent. That's not my area. But you know, I know enough to be dangerous that issue spot. There is an issue. There's a felony murder statute, which means if you're in the commission of a dangerous felony, usually it's use like 4 a.m. Can entering into someone's home to commit a burglary and let's say your co-conspirator shoot someone in the middle of it or somebody shoots themselves in the face because like the guy at the taser guy, I guess maybe taste himself is what the rumor you can be held liable for murder, even though you weren't the one who held the weapon because it's a natural and probable. It's it's a reasonably foreseeable consequence of breaking and entering and certainly having people die off is a reasonable a natural consequence of breaking into the Capitol building. So I would be really worried about being held liable for these people who died under the felony murder rule home and it's I was mesmerised. I was just kept taking screenshots of the images because they're just You know iconic isn't quite the right word. I'm looking for but they will it's an incredible. It was an incredible thing to be alive to witness. It will be one of those events just go down in infamy and really weird to hear McConnell calling for the rule of law. I guess they got scared Elaine Chao has resigned now and yep. Who's retiring expert says that the elites jump ship at the last second with authoritarians and that appears to be happening. But no, I couldn't believe it's scaling the building and Yeah. Wow. Wow, I'm still processing it. What do you but I was angry and I am angry. I'm still active things that well a Elaine Chao. Now what Glenn just said, you know, he was on before you and he said that he thinks that a lot of these people are stepping down because they don't want to have to invoke the 25th Amendment off because as you know, Pence is is Pence is being pressured by not only the Democrats. Even there are Republicans who are pressuring him to invoke the 25th Amendment because we want this lunatic. Wow, we got done. They're not done. I know and we want him to be in possession of our nuclear codes. I know he couldn't hear on his way out. You know one one last job. Hoorah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean that's one thing but the other thing that Glenn said and and I am also in total agreement that the log Go police support that we had to to deter this this blatant crime of breaking and entering and and and everything. It seems quite calculated. It does it seems like some people must have been helping. Yeah my Administration do this is Jennifer. Let's face it in Portland. They they used rubber bullets even like Gwen said, even when the Trump did, you know did his ridiculous? Yes his mom died down Bible. Yeah, they use tear gas just to clear the area. They didn't even did they were able to get inside is pretty shocking. There's this there's a lot of elements to this..

What's my Super Bowl pic I think it's going to be Buffalo. Versus the Saints that's my pick Bills vs Saints and guess what? I think the bills are finally going to win their first Super Bowl. That's my pick up. And now as I see Jennifer's getting already. She's sitting down. She's got that cute smile as let's bring in hold on Election security and kissed Jennifer Cohen Jennifer. How are you, baby? Hello. I'm good. How are you? I'm good. Are you are you positive now that we won Georgia? Yes. I am practically in tears when I was on the last time. I was so worried. Yes. I'm so excited. Yeah. Yeah, but you know what the best irony is is that we have Donald Trump the facts for our wins in Georgia because it was it was his idiotic, you know saying that the election was rigged and all this that that hurt those people who might have voted for the Well, he's on his own team was out there telling people not to vote in that election. Yeah, he had a Lyn Lynwood who's psychotic apparent? Well, I shouldn't say that he appears to be an addict and I don't know who else that they were posting. Not not to vote. There were rallies telling Republicans not to vote. So yeah that that certainly helped and I don't want to minimize those Stacey Abrams Get Out the vote. I think that one two punch the combination of her incredible work getting out the vote combined with, you know, Trump's team telling people not to vote is what did yeah, and you know, and also there's there's other factors though. I go ahead though. I interrupted you sorry. No, no. No. I was just going to say like How did you feel cuz because you are an election security analyst. How did you feel Watching Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and all these guys calling it rigged like like, you know, and you know this stuff. I mean if if it were rigged the only way it was rigged in was in the Republicans favored. I still question what happened in Florida. I still question Texas, but you know, what are your thoughts? Well, I didn't watch them say that I've seen enough of Trumps a life on Election Integrity. I mean, actually I'm trying I'm going to go through and try to you know, right up maybe a debunking of some of the major claims. I've already started and off with the rely on a lot or fake experts which I gather was sort of a technique developed with the cigarette manufacturers where it because it's a propaganda technique because people if you have a doctor in front of your name or your name Someone an expert people are going to be duped by whatever they have to say. Even if it's beyond the level of their the or the scope of their expertise. So like they used they had a military intelligence expert who never worked in Military Intelligence and then they had an intelligence contractor who turned out to be a pro Trump podcaster who had a $25,000 civil judgment sister because she stole money from that. She did like this big fundraising thing for like veterans and homelessness and she kept the money for herself and spent it at McDonald's and getting a x laxing herself somehow or waxing her floors. I don't know it was her face or her floors or what but so what I guess what gets me is we do have real vulnerabilities in the system. We do have problems with a lack of transparency Trump and their allies actually got more transparency than most people get because they had So much money behind them that they forced and that they got recounts. We're smaller candidates may be down ballot candidates can't afford them and don't have the money to do that. And for the most part, I mean, I believe all of the recounts that they got and audits that they got a firm the result that is not to say that this was sufficient. I sufficiently transparent election off, but the Republicans really wrote the game the rules of the game, they wanted and not transparent election. They didn't want manual audits which would have brought transparency for all of these Races. They blocked legislation and in February of 2020 that would have required manual audits for all of these races. All of them were really meaningful ones. They blocked that so that I guess that's what gets me is their unclean hands on this issue. I'm not going to lie and say this would that I personally think that was was the most secure election ever or the most transparent election. Ever I don't really know that because there's not enough transparency, but they did not have proof of fraud that they they Trump and his allies light bulb out and and they used fake experts and they used it really the Russian propaganda technique the firehose of falsehoods to just keep putting putting stuff out there through life. I bet these people were paid like news Max and own I bet they received funding from god-knows-where to end probably marching orders every day, like put out this much BS about election fraud and you've seen some of them have had to even walk it back so that because they're going to get sued God and before I asked asked question, I wanted I do want to thank Kate ask Alexa K and the last 155 Pho Hai Tu boss for all their $5 super chats. What did you make of I mean were you like on the edge of your seat as you watched? You know the run-offs would you like? Yes. Well, actually it was really fun though. I was watching I was on Twitter watching Dave Wasserman Schultz and just watching his thing and it was so fun cuz he called he called more knocks race first and he said, you know, I've seen enough time calling it and then Twitter put slapped like a label on it saying, you know, he did it before other people he kind of laughed about it said okay, that's fair. I did call it before anybody else. But then everyone like so many people were following his feet cuz he put in like little teasers or observations about the author's Grace and everyone was like say it just say it say you've seen enough about all sophs about the second one, you know, we want you to insert they're all of these memes, you know, say Dave say it Dave. I've seen em, like, you know, they had something like from Wheel of Fortune like I've seen, you know, blankety-blank with like some of the letters from the word enough. It was really kind of fun. And then finally he actually said it he said I've seen enough and then uncharacteristically optimistic of me. I started, you know, posting fireworks going off and stuff and then I I realized I didn't want to jinx it. I firmly believe in the Jinx so I retracted them not because I had information but because I know you know what Jennifer I'm the same way cuz I didn't want to call it even though it looked like a soft was definitely going to win because I didn't want to jinx it either. I did not go on Twitter, you know prematurely and say, oh we want and then I was like spraying champagne. Yeah, we try to attract. I'm so happy. Can you in a in a good mood? Cuz last time you were on you were down I was distraught and yeah, I'm still mad about I mean one thing that has not it will receive attention. I think is that we the Democrats lost so many of the state races and we are going to be in a world of hurt when it comes to drawing the new maps and for each month for a gerrymandering and that will really affect us in the house races in 2022..

"Pic. And here's why first of all America Carlin was a prosecutor in my office. He was an assistant us attorney in the DC khong. Attorney's office, I think from 89 to 92 handled some tough cases. He was part of the trial team in the mayor Marion Barry drug trial so he knows how to take off difficult politically sensitive cases on he was also the supervisor. He was involved in the Unabomber investigation. He was involved in the Oklahoma City bombing prosecution as a home supervisor. You know, he I do not believe he will shy away from difficult politically charged cases. He's also a very thoughtful circumspect Fair wage judge, universally highly-regarded. I know some people are upset that he often takes the police line when he's deciding cases as an appellate court judge, you know and and Thursday that is something that we're going to have to address on the Civil Rights front moving forward in with respect to the new team being brought on at the Department of Justice, but I I think Merrick Garland dead Is a good pic he is like a quiet thoughtful circumspect guy. I'm hoping he's a bit of a quiet storm. And I'm hoping he will appreciate the need to hold all of these criminal politicians accountable for what they have done to us to this country to the immigrants who came here during the past four years. I am I'm optimistic with the pic. So the only thing that I am concerned about is that people are going to say like if Merrick garland does as we both think he should go after Trump and and and all the you know, all the correct page will involved in this corruption is you're going to go well people going to think that it's because I didn't get to be Supreme Court Justice. Are they going to you know, is he going to like try and some come back to that kind of you know, that kind of rhetoric? You know what I mean? Like, oh like I'm sure you could see like a Mitch McConnell going. He's just doing this cuz he he's mad dog. Didn't get you know, his Supreme Court Justice hearing that criticism will come but you know what he's been a prosecutor. He was a judge. He's been criticized plenty. I can tell you as a career prosecutor every consequential prosecutorial decision. I made I got criticized either by the defendant and his criminal Associates or by the victim and the community because I may be declined to bring a charge because the evidence wasn't there and understanding that the criticism is going to come regardless of what decision you make is very liberating because then you just get to make the right decision based on the evidence and the facts and the rules and the Constitution and you don't worry because you're going to get criticized one way or another. I don't think that criticism that will have any legs that because he didn't get his spot on the Supreme Court and because Mitch McConnell unconstitutionally kept him from getting the confirmation number During the Constitution says the Senate is to provide which still blows my mind that we let McConnell get away with that. I do not think people will be like well, then that's why he's going to prosecute Donald Trump for ten counts of felony obstruction of justice that Bob Mueller documented meticulously in the Trump Russia report. I don't think that criticism has any links. I'm happy to hear that. So do you believe then that Merit Garland is going to go after and do what's right. Is he going to go after them and do all the things that were outlined in in the Mueller report? Do you believe that he is going to uphold Justice? I don't see how a law-abiding attorney general can decline to hold this runaway criminal president accountable for his many crimes. So with that being my guide I have to believe Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice off. Hold Trump and the other criminal politicians accountable. I am hopeful that at a minimum the southern district of New York has an indictment ready to drop on Donald Trump's off Ed for what he did at the beginning of all this the beginning being the presidential campaign. He broke all kinds of campaign Finance laws in a conspiracy with Michael Cohen to hide deeply damaging information from the American voters, which is to gain unfair advantage in a presidential election that is wrong three times over and it's criminal two times over and if you don't hold a criminal candidate for president accountable for crimes, he committed to steal the presidency than what the hell is the point of having a rule of law. This is why Glenn I wanted you to be attorney general I I mean because wage No, you would hold them, you know to all of this and I worry again. I worried it's not only me Glen. I know a lot of people my audience I think most Democrats off, you know, and progressives are worried that The Democrats going to take the high road. Well, let's just put the past behind us and look forward and try and you know get some get us all together and have our office and John you don't you don't tell Crime Victims and we the people are victims of Donald Trump's crimes on the coronavirus front and otherwise, you don't tell a crime victim go hold hands with your your attacker your perpetrator. The one who victimized you hold hands. We're not going to hold that person accountable and that's how you're going to heal. That's Unity. That's the opposite of healing. It's the exact opposite of justice and gosh. I hope Merrick Garland doesn't do that to the American people. Would he be your first choice? He would have been up there, you know, because both preet and Sally Yates, I think had they're both great candidates, but they had conflict concerns because Donald Trump fired them. So I'm not concerned about the well Mitch McConnell didn't give Merrick Garland his confirmation hearing complaints. I'm less concerned about that. I'd be more concerned about people saying wait a minute women Donald Trump fired you Sally Yates and prepare our and ran you out on a rail in disgrace. Not really but this is the way the argument would go and therefore you cannot legitimately supervise an investigation into the man who fired you and ran you out of Washington. Now, the concern is the Department of Justice ethics office might actually offer an opinion that Sally Yates because she was fired, you know, she was shown the door by Donald Trump..

"And we would meet with every single police officer or agent who made the arrest the day before we would assess the evidence supporting the lock up and then we as the prosecutors had to decide whether to charge the case or defined to charge the case and think about that. We have 75 to 150 normally over the course of the last couple of decades. They only made 52 arrests during a mass Riot with with enormous property damage with assaults with disorderly conduct. How is it that they couldn't lock any song? Use people up now the flip side of that coin. I want to give law enforcement. It's do when you're in the midst of a riot. You don't want to take a lot of law enforcement resources away from that situation and there is an argument that if you start locking people up every person you lock up becomes a resource-intensive operation, you've got to get them safely transported down to Indiana Avenue where MPD headquarters are located you have to process them you then have to transport them to the central cell block for their first court appearance. I get it but none of that made sense. I've sat through so many protests and the aftermath of so many protests were there were tons of protesters arrested and John these are protests largely that occurred out in the street where you have heightened First Amendment protections as opposed to you storming into the capitol intending to commit an offense their job. Which happens to be a burglary and nobody gets arrested for any of that that makes no sense to me everything about the way this was policed stinks off. So so you think it was the calculation but by who by I mean who who is in charge of these police? I mean like he hasn't thing. So I just thought you said this is like the big day you would think they would have had like like I don't know what if it's a national guard but you'd think they would all expect this to happen wife who who was in charge of this clan. Well, I don't know who was in charge I can tell you ordinarily when there are these kind of joint operations with several law enforcement agencies, both Federal and DC local there are standing task forces and I've been part of these task forces over the years where you know, relatively high-level people in each of these years. Agencies get together in advance, they divvy up responsibilities. They cooperate they coordinate they will put one agency head nominally in charge, you know, but they're kind of equals among equals and anytime you have multiple law enforcement agencies involved in any operation trust me. There's a good bit of chest bumping that goes on and jockeying for the lead and all that kind of thing often. But when we no protests are coming up we know how to prepare for them. Well, we knew this was coming up. Yeah and nobody prepared for it. That's not an oversight. That's not an admission. That's a calculation. I can't say precisely who was in charge of coordinating yesterday's law enforcement efforts, but what I can say is we didn't really seem to have a Department of Homeland Security presence, right the way we had when it was black lives matter protesters, which were certainly the ones in DC at Lafayette Park were entire. Yep. Peaceful until bar set out to gas the protesters. So Donald Trump could cross the street stand in front of a church. He'd never attended and hold up a book. He'd never read right that was a largely peaceful protest and look at the police response to that yesterday was a lawless Riot nothing peaceful about it. And there was no law enforcement response and I have took away that at the feet of Donald Trump because ultimately when it comes to all of the federal law enforcement agencies Trump is the top man. The president is the top man with the exception of the the little police. They're actually under the control of Congress. They're the only federal law enforcement agency controlled by Congress not controlled by the executive branch ultimate the president. So that's who's responsible and whatever messages he sent out whether overt or with a wink and a nod the way Trump does like he had love for you to find me 11 a.m. Thousand votes to fall off the back of the truck so I could be declared the winner, you know, you know how he operates Michael Cohen told us how he operates. I I lay the responsibility right as at his feet, you know, glad I first before we talk more cuz I do want to talk about the Georgia phone call to the Secretary of State. I do want to thank you for coming on cuz I was worried because I knew I knew after what was going on I go. Oh Glenn Mike cancel cuz probably every show is calling him. And so I really appreciate that you gave me the time to come on. I am happy to join you. I'm a little bleary-eyed cuz I was with Brian Williams until 1 a.m. And then I was on with Ali velshi at like 4:30 this morning. So I'm running on fumes and then on Stephanie Miller this morning right wage with Stephanie Miller this morning. Yeah, so I really really do appreciate a glint because I have a lot of questions. I want to talk to you about Garland, but before we get into that, I do have to ask you. The well first let me go back to this freaking Riot. Now. You have Senators congressmen and women and these guys are within what about 30 to 100 feet away from these people in the vice president of the United States. Yeah. So what the hell is going on Glenn looks like a calculation and I heard Donald Trump. I heard something reported today where they're you know sources in the White House say the Donald Trump was watching this unfold and he said I just heard this on MSNBC. I forget which report related it. He said quote I'm liking what I'm seeing Oh my god. Really? Yeah, but does that surprise us? His people John when he was supposed to Tamp it down. He said I love you and I understand that's a quote from his 60-second ridiculous TV appearance yesterday, and I understand I feel your pain I understand. Wow, just unbelievable. But you know what, go ahead. And this whole thing is about Trump. It's about as far the really Trump does not want to be a loser and he is a loser home and instead of just accepting defeat like any normal man. He has to claim that it's been stolen when we all know. It has not been the cases have been thrown out by every judge by Jose is appointed but he can't deal with being a loser and anytime he loses he blames somebody else or or even in the primaries with Ted Cruz. He said there was fraud he can never admit that he lost because he has a problem with being called the loser. That's why that's why yesterday is a direct product of Donald Trump lying to the American people because Trump and Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and Louie gohmert these these males only called men. They have been telling the American people that the election wage. Was stolen stolen from Trump supporters those four people Trump gohmert cruise and Holly. They know they were lying Trump maybe night about Trump knows he's lying to them. They know they were lying to the American people syson them up getting them all riled up making them believe falsely that somebody stole an election from them absent that absent those four people lying to the the American citizens the American voters. We never would have had that Riot yesterday. Those men are responsible for what happened yesterday. Yeah, and of course, they won't be held accountable Glen. Is anyone going to be held accountable. It's just well that just will take us right into Merrick Garland wage. What do you think about that pick up about Garland?.

And then when they stormed the capital, what are we have? The Keystone cops that did absolutely nothing. That allowed these thugs to get into the Capitol building. A hundred yards, maybe even less hundred feet away from our congressmen and women. These cops who as Robert Myers have said these cups were appointed their Federal and they probably just stand they stood by and watched and let it happen. They should all be ashamed every single one of them. In Portland compared to what they did there. There isn't a comparison. It's it's it's the equivalent of comparing a bank to a peashooter. That's that's what they did nothing. And Donald Trump. This is all because of you and your hateful rhetoric.

I load the prick off, but even he has suspended Donald Trump from Facebook and Instagram indefinitely. I think it should be permanently this man is going to continue his hateful rhetoric because you know, why ladies and gentlemen, I'll tell you why Donald Trump has said in himself. He doesn't like losers. And he is now a loser and what does he do he tries to pretend that the election was stolen and not only does he try and pretend that the election was stolen. He incites violence to support him with that without one ounce of credibility. Not one ounce 60 lawsuit thrown out by judges that he appointed. Keep keep in mind ladies and Gentlemen by judges that he appointed including three of the Supreme Court Justices that he appointed Mitch mcnicholas McConnell. He even had the cojones to get up on the senate floor and denounce this ridiculous election fraud bulshit. Even Mitch mcnicholas, who by the way, his wife has stepped down and resigned.

Tomorrow at six o'clock with the pre-game show six thirty on the tip off for that one So yesterday i've talked about it. I the the people who broke into the us capital Should all be in jail. And in fact i believe last check who was forty four Forty four people who have been arrested and Ford ed a bunch okay. Fifty two arrested now wanted to get us as of thirty eight minutes ago Fifty two or fifty two arrested four dead. Fbi seeking information on some of the. How moronic do they have to be first of all to do what they did. But then you get in there and just you start taking selby's on on the speaker of the house desks like you're carrying out podiums. Those are going to be used against you. So that's a bunch of morons the way that it is. I mentioned it. Our poll question are you okay. With how president. Trump responded to the situation yesterday so far. It's kind of been split. I tend to and say no no not really i'm not I feel that it should come out stronger and what he was saying. It shouldn't have been prerecorded thing. It was less of a less than presidential manner in which he addressed it his message when it came out i get where he was going with it. And don't blame him for that but Fell like there was a better course of action. That should have been taken and and and it's going to. It's going to impact him. It's going to impact his legacy. The thing that i'm i may have more issues with yesterday than how he addressed. The rioters is how he addressed vice president. Pence vice president pence has been by his side for the last four years and look president. Trump has a been hasn't received a fair shake from the media at all throughout his his tenure as president but vice president pence stood by aside. Then they did a lot of good in the last four years with the foreign trade with the economy in the states. They had what i would deem as a successful presidency lost the election but for president trump to go after vice president pence. I don't understand it then again. That tweet that went out there. Mike pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our constitution. Giving states chance to certify correct that set of facts not the fraudulent or incorrect or inaccurate ones which they were asked previously certify. Usa demands the truth. I'd never thought this day would come where i would be talking about this With with president trump is this is the man that i voted for twice. And i know that that's something you normally don't put out there but it is and i just disagree with what went down yesterday. And how he went about it especially with vice president pence so his message a little. I came around on that. I understood why he said what he said in that video. Wish it would have been live where she would ford but we are. We are fooling ourselves if we think that the only people that this falls on our is president trump and the republicans and this is not me pointing fingers back and forth but it's both parties and it's become the way that we talk to each other and the way that we converse and the way that we argue in the way that we debate. Because if you don't agree with me. I hate you and you are a communist agree with me all of a sudden you hate me and i'm a racist that's been dialogue and it's been an unhealthy one. When nancy pelosi tore up the state of the union address speech that did just as much damage. this is. You're you're just completely wrong if you believe that. This is just from one thing. This has been boiling. And it's hard to talk about. It's it's a sensitive topic but right now people out. There are justifying the actions of those riders yesterday because of what we saw over the summer with. The black lives matter. Riots and i get that it's it's completely. It's two separate things in terms of what they were. Rioting four i get that. So let's set that aside but when you look at just a riots and how it was condoned by the left when the black lives matter. Movement was writing when kenosha wisconsin was set on fire and set on fire because of what our court of law proved that the officer was acting in self defense. So wisconsin can get burnt down with little to no ramifications. Okay guess what. That's now the precedent. That's the president going forward. If you don't like something burn it down and they were leaders that that would not come out and say this has to stop. They would come out later on eventually and say okay. Yeah that that was not a good look but during that time they will not step out and say this is what's going on and so it was a. It's a bad look on everybody. It made our elected leaders. Look like they did not have any control the matter and in some ways they didn't. But where do we go from here. How does the dialogue change. How do we learn from this because already listening to Different members of congress speak. The left is already pointing the finger and say and this is this president. Trump's fault he should be thrown in jail that dialogue that rhetoric is not going to fix anything it's not as for the the the republicans and the conservatives. The election is over. There was not it. There would have been proof by now by any any one of these judges would have taken this case in gone with it if there is any any bit of.

Here's here's how weird the world is. I was oblivious to because i'm working on this You know lady from Fort collins his body was Being found by searchers so of course. I'm engrossed in that story. And all of a sudden. I start seeing all these things pop up and you're like oh what did i miss and then you look at it and you go. Wow so yeah. It's the news world we live in today and we thought you know. Twenty twenty was crazy. Twenty twenty one coming out with a bang. Yeah well you know. That transition is isn't as easily as people. Wanna kiss off twenty twentieth. There's still a lot of things that are gonna drag on into into twenty twenty one. There are biles but hopefully you know it starts to become more positive as we as we work through this. So let's talk about that story that you're working on yesterday.

On tuesday and the search began and they found her body Yesterday morning and throughout all of this correct wrong though miles there was never never any Evidence of any sort of foul play. Correct that crack. So so far they think christine. Cummings just went out for a hike and wasn't properly equipped that is that the working theory at the moment. I you know. I don't know what the working theory is. Course there's there's different The it could be that it could be died by suicide. You know it could be Yeah unprepared Foul play isn't an issue so that kind of leaves you at those two right and some of those quotes that you've got in the store you did a great job covering this and we've been following along as well but some of those quotes by some of her friends Really hit hard. Yeah you know. I talked to him yesterday. And they were a of course extremely emotional after they found out that That christine's body had been recovered.

"We're back to the same issues And problems with our electoral process and Somewhat lost in the shuffle. Sadly the fact that well Let's just say the democrats are pretty much have of the run of the board Given the fact that that Those georgia runoff elections for those two senate seats did indeed a go. Democrats so will these conversations even be will they even be had under this new administration. Well that's why my hope is. It's it's going to take somebody like donald trump to lead this by he. You need somebody that has. The gravitas has the resources that has a strong base of support with him. Because if somebody like him does not take it up. And i'm not sure who else could take it up. You're absolutely right. The people are going to bury. The democrats are going to bury it. they don't want it. I mean who doesn't benefit. Democrats have election reform in fact the only election form. They probably advocate is for more mail in ballots. Absentee ballots because that is exactly what these election fraud has been really focused on and there are a lot of fears that you know if if there is not real election reform in these states that it's going to be very for republicans to win national office seventeen now thirteen ten k. Thirteen ten kfi k. a. dot com regains is The trump 2016 deputy campaign manager aren't some shots being taken by well Some pretty interesting sources new york post today. Miranda devine writing and editorial from the senate to mike pence trump destroys the party on the way out the door. You've got a piece in the wall street journal talking about all of the unrest in the violence at the capitol yesterday. saying that this was president trump's parting gift to washington and the country for denying him a second term. Will this be president. Trump's legacy in like everybody you know as opportunities along the way Look how much he's accomplished in. Four years You know it's easy And and in in flawed for anybody to take a look at any single event particularly when it's happening in real time The real test of the legacy is wait a few years. What do we do now. We we presidents from fifty one hundred years ago And when we do that we do a lot more objectively There's a lot of emotional You know angst right now. And so i would caution anybody Whether it's a republican or democrat This is not about anybody like You need to look at the the full picture. I mean what could be drunk. I guess he is from this. And what gave rise yesterday that frustration and anger that underlying sentiment that exists across america. Remember seventy four million people You know voted for the president because they felt like The system that the the government the establishment was not working. Still not working. And so i think when you take all this collectively you can't you can't evaluate the presence legacy today based on one single action. That's not what a presents us about. the democrats will try. They'll try to attach this and say you know this. Is you know the president's legacy..

"I know how you feel but go home and go home at peace. Was that enough or did it only serve to fan the flames even further again. There's plenty of blame to go around here. My concern is this. Has the democrats have completed the trifecta. The full sweep of the government From the executive to the legislative branches my concern is that this will now become president. Trump's legacy we won't even get into the fact that most of his economic and financial decisions that his tax cuts. They're going by the wayside too sweet but will this become the president's legacy plenty of blame to go around here when you look at the unrest when you consider all of the anguish and the angst the upheaval that we as a nation have been through over the past four years. Democrats are responsible yes. Republicans are responsible as is the mainstream media for their rather lopsided reporting that only served to fan the flames of dissent across this nation. It was incredible watching some of the comments coming out of not only the talking heads but when you consider the democrats response or should i say lack of response. During summer of social unrest. I should say a spring and summer of social unrest. This as protesters talking black lives matter. I'm talking in tepa. Protesters across the country. Use that as a cudgel as an opportunity. yes they were opportunistic. In their air quote peaceful protests that were anything but peaceful as they took advantage of situation to destroy and to loot and to burn and destroy businesses across the country in a nation that has already been under siege by all of the implications and the devastation emotional physical psychological of a pandemic of a raging pandemic and the government's response to that pandemic yet. How long did it take the democrats to decry that violence. In the name of social justice it was long after the democratic convention. The joe biden finally did just that. And why did he do it well because the polls told him that that message just wasn't selling any more so the message midst for quite some time. You have a mainstream media totally totally in cahoots with the democrat party. And i the and the unrest goes to the fact that so many of us across this country. We don't know who to trust anymore..

It's usually pretty stayed and pretty wrote and pretty procedural and eighteen not yesterday as well unrest. Basically blew everything up in a manner of speaking. I mean just. I'd never seen anything like it. And it's almost hard to articulate the variety of emotions that we all probably experienced but once again. What was your reaction to what we saw coming out of the people's house yesterday as they played out in real time. Well here's something that you need to remember. Washington itself no stranger to protests and unrest in fact washington sees frequent political demonstrations skirmishes short-list of them. Right here. it goes all the way back to august. Twenty four th eighteen fourteen. This was after the battle of bladensburg when the british burned the capital down. At least that didn't happen You had Disturbances security breaches back in nineteen fifty four where you had. A group of radicals stormed capital July nineteen eighty eight in the fall of twenty thirteen. There was a disturbance at the white house In which a woman was causing some issues. She got away capital police where In full pursuit and wound up at the capitol building where sadly one of the There was a gun battle that ensued and she'd lost her life as a direct result but again to see something like this unfold in real time scenes of rioters confronting police on the capitol steps and then scaling the sides of the building and sitting in lawmakers chairs and just causing destruction throughout the best word. I can use to describe it well. I can think of several disrespectful chief among them but it was disheartening. It was heartbreaking and it was surreal. Senate majority leader mitch. Mcconnell called the writing a failed insurrection. Is that how you see it. Senate minority leader chuck schumer said that these events of yesterday would join that very short list of dates in american history that will live forever.

Yesterday in the halls of the capitol as of these violent protesters unleashed total and complete chaos. And i don't mean to lapse into cliche. But i've got some very very serious questions this morning. And the primary among them is. How did we get to this point in time. And what does violence resolve ever. Does it solve any problem. Sure nobody wants to see an electoral system. That is broken. Everyone wants to have faith. Not only in our system of voting but indeed in art institutions as well but because of the events over the past four years we have lost faith. We have lost faith in just about everything at this point in time. How do we restore that faith. You tell me this morning nine seven. Oh three five three thirteen ten. You can also drop me a text on our thirteen ten. Kfi a text line but asking the question was yesterday an insurrection or was it a desecration and it's funny. I was listening to some commentators last night. Talking about you know giving their various and sundry opinions on this and i believe it was tucker carlson who made reference to anyone that has suffered from any sort of substance abuse and gone through any number of programs at twelve step program for example. Well there is a familiar litany of where you begin to pull yourself up and that is you have to hit rock bottom before things can get better begging the question this morning have we. As a nation hit rock bottom nine seventy three five three thirteen ten. You can drop tax thirteen ten. Kfi a text line by the way if you've been part of our texting cohorts for any period of time a nothing changes for you but if you're new to texting are thirteen ten..
