And it looks like a 33 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 7: place that you would imagine Winston Churchill smokes his cigars 34 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 7: and drank his sherry. I do bourbon, not sherry, but 35 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 7: you get the pointer, and you know there's leather bound 36 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 7: books and rich mahogany kind of thing, and it's it's 37 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 7: a happy place for a man whose wife has given 38 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 7: him a pass to go out and hang out with 39 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 7: his buddy. And my wife will normally make steaks or 40 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 7: Indian food and then we'll interrupt this to eat and 41 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 7: we come back outside to the back. You get to 42 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 7: smoke inside. If there's a game on, what's your game? 43 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 7: It's a great place. And they will say I'm so 44 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 7: upset the Democrats. They're going to democrats, And I'll say, 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 7: wait a minute, you're quoting a Democrat congressman that doesn't 46 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 7: even share a committee. That person never accomplishes anything. You've 47 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 7: got to stop thinking of that person as being a 48 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 7: powerful member of our government. That person's job is to 49 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 7: go on television and get airtime. Ayanna Presley, Maxine Waters, 50 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 7: Sheila Jackson Lee was the master of it. The dumber 51 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 7: the thing they say, the more invitations they get to 52 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 7: be a guest. So why aren't you bothering playing their 53 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 7: game and being upset at them? Do you not understand 54 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 7: this is idiocracy? You're howling at them. So that's why 55 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 7: I don't spend as much time as perhaps would be 56 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 7: fun to spend making fun of them, is because I 57 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 7: really don't think some people can understand. So what I 58 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 7: do is I just focus on Trump's success right now 59 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 7: because we're winning day in and out. 60 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: We're winning. 61 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 7: Nothing these idiots say matter, none of it. They're not 62 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 7: stopping Trump. They're not able to stop Trump. They wish 63 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 7: they could, but they're not able. So for those few 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 7: of you who can handle, who can handle the fact 65 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 7: that we're gonna mock them, but not let it make 66 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 7: us miserable, because I'm gonna taste him when we talk 67 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 7: about the good old days in years to come, this 68 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 7: is the good old days. Trump won't always be president. 69 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 7: We won't always have the House in Senate. We won't 70 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 7: always have Pete Hegseethan and Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Junior 71 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 7: and Cash Fortel. It won't always be like this. These 72 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 7: are the good old days. If you can't enjoy this now, 73 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 7: with that in mind, let's check in on the left. 74 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 7: Let's see, we've got Chuck Schumer, who even the demo, 75 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 7: even CNN is laughing at Chuck Schumer trying to start 76 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 7: a chant, trying to start a chant because chanting makes 77 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 7: it important. 78 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 4: And we cannot, we cannot allow Elon Musk and a 79 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 4: small group of people to secretly, behind closed doors, take 80 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 4: away our privacy, take away our dollars, take away everything 81 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 4: we have. We are gonna fight this fight. I am 82 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: gonna stand with you in this fight, and we will win. 83 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: We will win. We will win. 84 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 8: We will win. 85 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: We will win. 86 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: We will we will rest. We won't rest. We won't rest. 87 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: We won't rest. 88 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 7: I love that we won't rest. Because they leave from 89 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 7: there to go on yet another vacation. I mean, these 90 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 7: people's work is not real work. They're treated like kings 91 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 7: all day by your by government paid taxpayer, paid servants. 92 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: That they have all around him. Oh, mister center, mister center. 93 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 7: But what they call work when we roll up our 94 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 7: sleeves and get to work, Chuck Schumer looks so out 95 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 7: of place. They stick him out there and surround him 96 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 7: with a bunch of black congressmen, and look, Wesley Hunt 97 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 7: is a very bright guy. He went to an exceptional 98 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 7: private school in Houston called Saint John's. The academic rigors 99 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 7: of that institution, I wouldn't want to go there. I mean, 100 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 7: it's it's a tough school, and it is it is. 101 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 7: It launches kids to Ivy League schools. It launches white 102 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 7: kids to Ivy League schools. If that tells you anything. 103 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: With with very high ACT and SAT scores. And he 104 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: so he goes there. He goes from there to West Point. 105 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 7: West Point's a tough, academically rigorous, and physically difficult institution. 106 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 7: He he distinguishes himself there and then he gets out and. 107 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Goes on now to be a congressman. He happens to 108 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: be black. 109 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 7: Of course, he's a Republican representing a district that's almost 110 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 7: all white. But a black Republican is not going to 111 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 7: be an idiot. A black democrat is necessarily, by being 112 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 7: a democrat, an idiot. But they stick, They stick Schumer 113 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 7: in front of all these blacks, and he looks and 114 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 7: he's trying to talk to talk, and he looks so 115 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 7: out of place. It reminds me of that scene from 116 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 7: Forrest Gump when Forrest, when Forrest ends up in a 117 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 7: fight at the Black Panther party, You remember that. 118 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 1: So I had a fight and familiar black pants. That's 119 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer. So I had a fight in an earli 120 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:06,559 Speaker 1: your Black Panthers holiday. That is the quintessential Chuck Schumer moment. 121 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 7: January twentieth, twenty twenty five is Liberation Day, Michael Barry Show. 122 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: So I read an entire editorial this morning. 123 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 7: And I referenced it to begin the show today, and 124 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 7: a number of you have asked where you can find it, 125 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 7: So I'll tell you if you're on Twitter, it's the 126 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 7: only place I know to get it. 127 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: The guy's name is John A. Conrad, with the K 128 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: John A. Conrad the fifth. 129 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 7: And it is a really, really wonderful, very well structured 130 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 7: discussion of what Trump is doing to absolutely destroy the left, 131 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 7: to prevent them. It's like really really effective guerrilla warfare. 132 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 7: He's keeping them so distracted. And he goes through how 133 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 7: the left wins, how the Democrats, the deep state, the military, 134 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 7: the media, how they all work together, and Trump, by 135 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 7: creating these distractions and diversions, is preventing them from reloading 136 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 7: and doing what they would do to defeat him. 137 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: So the guy's name is John J. O. 138 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 7: H n A. Conrad. It's John Conrad. I think on 139 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 7: is the actual Twitter handle. You can go find it. 140 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: Elon Musk retweeted him, and so he's gone viral. The 141 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: last couple of days is. 142 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 7: A wonderful, wonderful and very very effective description of why 143 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 7: Trump is succeeding. Because they're trying to defeat it. They're 144 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 7: going to accuse him of murdering somebody. They're going to 145 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 7: drag him back to court. They have to, they have 146 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 7: to stop him. And people will ask me, I feel 147 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 7: so sorry for people because they really don't understand that 148 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 7: the left doesn't care about what's good for the country. 149 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 7: They care about winning. Power is everything. People will say, 150 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 7: why are. 151 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: They mad at? And what he's doing is good. 152 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 7: It doesn't matter if it's good. It's especially dangerous if 153 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 7: it's good, because if it's good, you'll see that it's good, 154 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 7: and you'll see that he's on the side of good 155 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 7: and they're on the side of evil. So that's why 156 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 7: they're gonna have to keep coming up with. Senator Chris 157 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 7: Murphy was on Morning Joe. He says he going to 158 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 7: take away your mama's Social Security. No he's not, but 159 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 7: this is the kind of crap they're gonna spread. 160 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 9: It is extraordinary how much access Elon Musk and his 161 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 9: sort of creepy twenty two year old henchmen have to 162 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 9: all of our data. Right they have information that would 163 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 9: allow them to shut down your tax refund, your Medicare payment. 164 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: They know everything. 165 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 9: Potentially, they know everything about you and your family. And 166 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 9: the reality is that this could get cystopian very quickly. 167 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 9: That if you were to start speaking ill of Elon 168 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 9: Musk on social media, Elon Musk might be able to 169 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 9: stop or delay your tax refund or your mom's Social 170 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 9: Security benefit. In part because we have no window into 171 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 9: what's happening inside the Department of Treasury right now. We 172 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 9: were there last night on the steps of the Treasury Department, 173 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 9: asking to get in and meet with people to find 174 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 9: out what the extent of the damage was. We thought 175 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 9: there would be a couple hundred people with us. There 176 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 9: were I think over a thousand, perhaps two thousand people. 177 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 9: The American people are rising up right now, putting pressure 178 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 9: on legislators, including Republicans, to step in and do something 179 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 9: about this. 180 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: Listen, we are the minority party. 181 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 9: Republicans are in charge in the United States Senate and 182 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 9: House of Representatives. If we were to have any shape, 183 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 9: it's a passing legislation to stop Elon Musk's power grab 184 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 9: and information grab, Republicans would have to work with us, 185 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 9: and so we are going to use whatever levers we 186 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 9: have to try to raise the temperature in the Senate. 187 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 9: I'm not voting for a single nominee. I'm not expediting 188 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 9: a single nominee until Republicans join us to stop this 189 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 9: power grab. We will go to the courts on what's 190 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 9: happening in the Department of Treasury. We will hold rallies 191 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 9: this weekend to make sure that Republicans know that they're 192 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 9: going to pay a political price. We will use every 193 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 9: tool at our disposal to try to get this crisis fixed, 194 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 9: but we ultimately need Republicans who are in charge to 195 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 9: take this seriously. 196 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: Here is their problem. Their message is. 197 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 7: Musk is exposing all this waste, billions and billions and 198 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 7: billions of dollars. We must stop him from exposing the waste. 199 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 7: They can't argue it's not waste. So we're going to 200 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 7: hold a rally this weekend. The problem with these people 201 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 7: is that they have to have their people at the rally, 202 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 7: and their people are freak shows. 203 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: So give you an example. 204 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 7: They elected a new chair and vice chair of the 205 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 7: Democrat Party and one of them is David Hogg. Remember 206 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 7: David Hogg. We're not going to spend a lot of 207 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 7: time on it. I put together a montage I didn't 208 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 7: Jim A. Mudd, our creative director did, to give you 209 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 7: an idea. This is what their rally is going to 210 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 7: look like. This is them actually talking as they're electing 211 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 7: a new party chair. 212 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 6: Maybe the endless, boundless energy of the universe wrap around 213 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 6: you with awe and love and well becoming amen, Asha 214 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 6: a mean and may we together make it so. 215 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 2: So. 216 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: I have to admit that I have my own white 217 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: privileged chare. 218 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 7: But that doesn't prevent me from seeing the phobias that 219 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 7: exist throughout our communities. 220 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: Both in Minnesota and frankly throughout this country. 221 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: Hello Democrats, Hey, I am speaking, and I would love 222 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: your attention.

And as I was walking, Michael, 283 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 8: all I saw was good people. Everybody was patriotic. I 284 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 8: didn't see any weapons, never saw one weapon. People were praying, 285 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 8: groups of people praying. I did see one of the 286 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 8: news crew got jumped on their cameras smashed and stuff 287 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 8: as I was walking by. I continued walking onto the Capitol. 288 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 8: Once I got there, there was a good sized crowd 289 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 8: out there. I always had to be at the front 290 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 8: at any type of event, so I kept walking as 291 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 8: far as I could go, so I'd get all the 292 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 8: way push my way through the crowd. And get all 293 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 8: the way to the very front where the scaffolding is. 294 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 8: You'll see all that scaffolding and all that video I 295 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 8: got you right there, and they had it blocked off 296 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 8: with bicycle racks. So I stood around there and everything 297 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 8: was calm at that moment, and I walked over to 298 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 8: the left of the scaffolding to where there's the cement 299 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 8: pillars where you saw people being thrown off of eventually, 300 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 8: so they had enough security that they all had sniper 301 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 8: paintball I've never seen that like that, with scopes with 302 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 8: incindiary devices protecting everything, so there's no way you could 303 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 8: move forward. Everything was pretty calm, and then all of 304 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 8: a sudden, I noticed this guy that turned out to 305 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 8: be Ray Epps yelling at everybody, let's go in, let's 306 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 8: break through. This is your capital. And then someone through 307 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 8: him the megaphone, so and now he's on the megaphone. 308 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 8: So I noticed also to my left some movement, and 309 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 8: as I look over to my left, I see two 310 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 8: city size buses pull in unmarked with about six black SUVs, 311 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 8: and all of a sudden, about one hundred kids out 312 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 8: of each bus get out and put Trump gear on 313 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 8: and go into the crowd, so my attention gets diverted 314 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 8: back over to the front of the bicycle rack area, 315 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,959 Speaker 8: which is basically the entrance that they had blocked off 316 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 8: up the steps. They had a set of doors built 317 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 8: with a framework halfway up these steps with about six 318 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 8: law enforcement gardens, and the crowd was pressed in there. 319 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 8: So within minutes of that bus arriving there, I noticed 320 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 8: that those sniper teams were pulled back and they were gone. 321 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 8: Right then I knew something was up. Okay, so the 322 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 8: crowd is pushing. I'm inside this area, close to those doors, 323 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 8: and I'm getting smashed up against this metal railing. So 324 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 8: I just kind of like Hail Mary, throw myself over 325 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,159 Speaker 8: this rail because the crowd was smashing me into this 326 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 8: railing and got on the other side and was time 327 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 8: to leave. There's nothing to see. And as soon as 328 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 8: I got a couple steps down, those cops opened those 329 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 8: doors and stepped back, so I jumped in the crowd 330 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 8: I did and went in. So I was probably the 331 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 8: tent or twenty ten or twenty there's probably ten to 332 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 8: twenty guys ahead of me. As we went up these stairs, 333 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 8: and I kept saying, this is a setup. Is a setup, 334 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 8: because none of those cops are around. So we get 335 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 8: up on the upper level where the doors are to 336 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 8: the Capitol itself, and the doors are closed. So all 337 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 8: of a sudden I noticed some movement over there where 338 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 8: those doors were because I was looking. There was a 339 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 8: police Harley Davidson sitting there with its lights on and 340 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 8: the motor was running. The bike was just sitting there 341 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 8: with non around. So I'm looking at this motorcycle right there, 342 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 8: and as I turn around, the doors open. The law 343 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 8: enforcement just opens the doors and steps back and lets 344 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 8: everybody in. So that's the footage you'll see on CNN 345 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 8: of the American flag going in when we first go in. 346 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 8: So when we go through these doors, we take a ride, 347 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 8: and the cops are just welcome, welcoming everybody in. So 348 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 8: we go into the crypt area. I believe it's the 349 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 8: crypt or a statutory hall or the crypt. I just 350 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 8: remember a bunch of statues. So I just get to 351 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 8: the side and the crowd comes in, and of course 352 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 8: there's a standoff in there. There's law enforcement waiting and 353 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 8: Michael all I saw these people around me. They looked 354 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 8: like they were all professionals. I mean, I know law enforcement. 355 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 8: When I see it. I know military. These were no kids, 356 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 8: These are no fools. Okay, So everybody was inside this area. 357 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 8: So I made a couple of videos and then the 358 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 8: cops just backed away and let everybody go into the 359 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 8: next area, which I'm not sure what it's called, but 360 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 8: at the inside this bigger area, there's a hallway that 361 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 8: it is on the end, and that's the hallway where 362 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 8: Ashley got shot. 363 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 7: I'm looking at a picture of you. You look like 364 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 7: a guy that sticks out in a crowd as not 365 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 7: a young man. When a guy's a little older and 366 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 7: big and tough like that, that guy makes me way 367 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 7: more nervous. 368 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: But anyway, go ahead. So you've walked up on the 369 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: scene and it's happening. 370 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 8: It's lived, it's all coming in hot. The law enforcement 371 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,199 Speaker 8: standing there one foot in front of me. I'm between 372 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 8: the crowd and the cops. This cop says you need 373 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 8: to move your crowd back. I said, this crowd can't 374 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 8: go back as long as you guys don't move forward. 375 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 8: I'll keep these guys from move forward and we'll get 376 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 8: through this. Michael. The moment, I said that an agitator 377 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 8: that was in the crowd through a water bottle right 378 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 8: over my shoulder and hit that cop right in the forehead. 379 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 8: All the cops rampast me, which is I configured, you know. 380 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 8: Luckily they all ram past me, and it was on. 381 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 7: They've arrested you. At this point, do they release you? 382 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 7: Do you get out on bond or do you stay 383 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 7: in jail? 384 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 8: No? They I got out on their bond. 385 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: And then. 386 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 8: So then let's see they I went through the court. 387 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 8: The lucky thing is they let me do court on Zoom. 388 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 8: Otherwise they would have shipped me back to DC. So 389 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 8: there's a special provision which if you get charged with 390 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 8: a misdemeanor, you can use Zoom instead of driving all 391 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 8: the way back to DC. Okay, so all four of 392 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 8: the charges were, of course misdemeanors. Uh So I go 393 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 8: through the court system, and I know the whole deal 394 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 8: with these people, so I just pled out to the 395 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 8: lesser charge. It turned out to be picketing and demonstrating 396 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 8: inside the capital, and it boiled down to that I 397 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 8: couldn't get any less because I actually chanted with the 398 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 8: crowd you as a us A inside the capital, and 399 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 8: that's what got me found guilty. 400 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: Each bb each ivy spooky vaginosis. 401 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: With Your Naked bod is evil and atrocious. 402 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 7: One of the beautiful Don Williams songs that was not 403 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 7: written by Bob mcdil written by Roger Cook and Sam Hogan. 404 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 7: Beautiful lyrics, really beautiful lyrics, an affirmation of the good 405 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 7: things in life.

They're just there to fill up 455 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 7: the space, to make it look like they gave you 456 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 7: more food. It's like the baby's breath of the floral world, 457 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 7: you understand, just there to fill space. And so I mention, 458 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 7: we're talking about carrots. Somebody called in and said carrots, 459 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 7: and I said, no, no, no, I love carrots. My 460 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 7: wife makes a pot roast very often with corn breads, 461 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 7: my grandmother's pot roast recipe and my grandmother's corn bread, 462 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 7: and there's never enough carrots. I always tell her more carrots, 463 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 7: and she keeps thinking, well, I'm gonna dump so many carrots, 464 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 7: gonna get on his nerves. But he doesn't because I 465 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 7: love carrots. You can't put too many carrotsret's potatoes and 466 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 7: the roast beef or the pot roast. And so I 467 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 7: was talking about how much I love carrots, and a 468 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 7: friend of mine knows I love Jerry Klower.
