1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty show what a terrible day it

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: is for America. I never never thought I would see

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: Americans scaling the wall to attack the people's House to capital.

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: So if you if you're thinking about moving to a

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: narco state or a banana republic and you're wonder what

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: it's like today was a good idea of what it

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: would be like. That is not America. That is not

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: this idea of America. We're a nation of laws. We're

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: not a lation a nation of people who attack law

10
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: enforcement officers. Uh, trying to accomplish the goal that was

11
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: never going to be accomplished in the first place. Martha,

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: this was always a fool's rain. So so so why

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: people are surprised that Mike Pence did exactly what the

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: Constitution called him to do. Um, I'm surprised that they're surprised, Well,

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: they're following a leader, and the leader said, look, this

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: election was stolen from you, and he continued to say

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: it while people were storming the Capitol. You'd even back

18
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: off it. Then got this tweet that was kind of funny.

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm no longer impressed that Nicholas Cage managed to steal

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: the declaration of Independence, you know, kidding. That was fanciful

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: in the movie, but now I realized, Hey, you can

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 1: walk in and sit at the speaker of the houses.

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: That's a rifle through drawers if you want to. You

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: can stand at the podium where Mitch McConnell stands in

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: your bare outfit or whatever that guy had on. You

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: stand on a podium, you stand behind elect Sean. Give

27
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: it up, Give it up? Um so, uh right, right, Jack.

28
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: I wish you had done it and done your Mitch

29
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: McConnell because that would have been really because you're I'm

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: standing here. Yeah. So, anyway, the theme of this morning,

31
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: if you're just tuning in, is there were a lot

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: of factors that went into yesterday and they're not all Trump.

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: They're not all right wing lunatics, although those two factors

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: absolutely did factor in, and we will get to that.

35
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: We'll get to all of that, we'll paint the whole

36
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: picture for you. But first we want to talk to

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Casey from the Sacramento area and California who were told,

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: uh decided to go to drive all the way to

39
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: d C to be part of the rally. Casey, Hey,

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: how are you? Good morning? I'm I'm tired. Yeah, I'll

41
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: bet you are. So why did you decide to drive

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: three thousand miles roughly to go to this event? Uh?

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: You know the Lord? The Lord told me to be there.

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: I saw his tweet and that and of itself wasn't enough,

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: but I just felt, uh compelled to be here. I'm

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: mystified by what you just said. The Lord told you

47
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: to be there? You mean Trump? Or do you mean

48
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: God is talking to you and told you to go

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: to the Trump rally? And I'm not trying to be

50
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: a smartass. I just I actually didn't understand what you said. No,

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: it's not it's not like heard words or anything. It

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: was just it's a feeling. It's like when you're canduring,

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm going to have a burger because that's

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna have. I I feel like God tells

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: me things to do too. I so, no, I'm fine

56
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: with that. I just didn't know if you meant Trump,

57
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: because some people mean Trump when he say that. Um so,

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: so that's what motivated you to go, hoping to accomplish

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: what to bear witness? I wanted to I wanted to

60
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: be here to bear with this, and I felt like it.

61
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: I needed to be here to see it in myself.

62
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: And after having spent the entire day here with all

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: of communications shut off, nobody could text to each other,

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: nobody could uh we can barely get a phone call

65
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: out of here. They basically shut down communications with us.

66
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: And when I finally got that before on the news,

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: before people stormed the Capitol, you couldn't even text or

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: after correct before before when we were when we were

69
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: still down listening to Trump speak, people were like, is

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: your phone working? Is your phone working? Is your phone working?

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: All through the march? It wouldn't work all up in

72
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: front of the Capitol. It wouldn't work. Um. So when

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: I got back to my vehicle last night and turned

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: on the radio, I was a little bit surprised to

75
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: hear the way they were reporting him really so well,

76
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: you know what, Well why not? So you were not

77
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: a witness to any of the violence or the busting

78
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: into the capital or anything like that. I was right

79
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: up at the front, I was on I was I

80
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: was five people back when when the police were being

81
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: pushed back up onto the promenade and I watched people

82
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: smash the windows out. So I was right there. Okay,

83
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: So I didn't jump into the building. Why were you

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: surprised that it was reported? Then it's not that it

85
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: was reported, it's how it's being reported. That the way

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: it's being reported in the media is is if you

87
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: weren't here, you think that the capital building still on fire,

88
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: but you know two windows got smashed out and then

89
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: they shot a girl. Okay, so you said you wanted

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: to go there and bear witness. If you were to summarize,

91
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, the message you were trying to send, what

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: was it? Um, I'll tell you that I surely don't

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: trust the media. Um. If you do, you're a fool.

94
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I think that it's important for people to turn off

95
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: their TVs and go see these things for themselves so

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: that they can see what is actually happening interesting because

97
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: the TV is just lying. Sure, I think it's important

98
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: to get this on because I think this is going

99
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: to be an ongoing conversation of who was do and

100
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: the most violent stuff because we've seen you know a

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: lot of uh, you know, the police started the violence.

102
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: So I I understand that they that they that they

103
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: were concerned there there were literally thousands of people encroaching

104
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: on them and meeting pushing them, pushing them backward, and

105
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: disobeying their orders. Not initially, none of that started until

106
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: the police started using their pepper spray and gas bombs. Yeah,

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: these things are always very difficult. As I've watched a

108
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: lot of videos of a lot of BLM things and

109
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: everything like that. It's just you know, but but that

110
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: decide I want to get to this. So you were

111
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: in the crowd that was trying to get the people

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: to stop breaking the windows. Everybody in the crowd is

113
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: trying to get to people to stop breaking the windows.

114
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: They started smashing on the windows, and the entire crowd

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: started yelling at them to stop. We're not these other groups.

116
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: We don't do that. This is our house. We're not

117
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: here to break our house. We're here to make sure

118
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: they hear our voices. I think that's fascinating because we've

119
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: seen that over and over with the BLM protests with

120
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: a lot of them where you got the actual peaceful

121
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: protesters in the streets screaming at people, why are you

122
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: breaking those windows? Stopping So this is something to the

123
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: point where a girl ran over and grabbed one of

124
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: these guys and pulled him down to the ground to

125
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: make him stop, and he got back up and started

126
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: smashing the window again, and she had the support of

127
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: the crowd, not the not the vandal. Correct. That's really interesting.

128
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: That is something you will definitely not here reported anywhere

129
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: at any point. Wow, that's crazy, Casey. Anything else that

130
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: we ought to know from your experience before we let

131
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: you go. You know, there's a lot of pushing and

132
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: pulling there. The the the the people who were up

133
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: at the front of that line were in constant communication

134
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: with the Capitol Police, and they had come out prior

135
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: to the windows being broken. Then just saying, hey, we

136
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: have talked to these guys. If we just hold our line,

137
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: and we just hold our line, and we just stay here,

138
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: and we just stay here and make sure that they

139
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: hear us, they won't keep spray us, they won't attack us,

140
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: they won't hit us, they won't arrest us or drag

141
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: us out. Uh. That's when the agitators with the hammers

142
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: that they pulled out of their pockets started smashing the windows. Interesting. So, finally, Casey,

143
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: did did you go there thinking Mike Pence could somehow

144
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: do something to change the result of the election. I

145
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: didn't come here with any kind of preconceived notions of

146
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: any of that story. I came here to bear witness, right, Casey,

147
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: we sure appreciate the time, a friend, thanks thanks for

148
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: talking to us, certainly, thank you. All right? Yeah, interesting, well, yeah,

149
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: it is interesting because well, you know, I've been seeing

150
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: this a lot, and and everybody's been wondering, is it

151
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: the fringe of uh, you know, Black Lives Matter, or

152
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the trunk crowd or whatever that starts smashing stuff, or

153
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, is it the the anarchists who just want

154
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: to bring down society that show up to any of
