WEBVTT - Guns, God, and Babies 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.600 Good morning, peeps, and welcome to bokay f Daily with 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:18.720 Meet your Girl Danielle Moody. Recording from the Brooklyn Bunker. Folks, 0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:22.759 apologies for the delay in today's show. Drop. So much 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.480 is going on, so many things out of whack, and 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.960 I'm gonna blame it on mercury being in retrograde. Nonetheless, 0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:32.600 I want to share with you all something that has 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:37.560 been troubling me, which is this. Over the weekend here 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.839 in New York where I am, there was another shooting 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:48.560 on a subway and one man was shot dead, forty 0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:52.960 eight years old, doing nothing other than sitting and minding 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.320 his own business, headed into you know, do whatever people 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.720 do on the weekend, relax, hang out, connect with family, 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:05.119 and he was shot dead. And what I noticed is 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:12.280 that we as a culture no longer are outraged by 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:18.199 gun violence unless the body count is five or above. Now, 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:24.559 the definition of a mass shooting is for people killed 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:29.160 at one time. But because we have become so desensitized 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.959 to shootings, it's just now a part of our everyday 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:38.640 existence here in America. We no longer have the same 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.200 level of outrage that I believe that we should. I 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.399 think to myself, you know, the subway in New York, 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:51.320 much like public transportation everywhere across this country, in in 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.320 urban areas and cities, is essential. Public transportation is essential. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.480 It is essential for you to get from one place 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.480 to the other because guess what, ubers and lifts and 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.160 cabs are really expensive, and so the ability to spend 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.600 two dollars and seventy five cents get on a bus, 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.520 get on a subway, and get to where you're going 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:15.000 is a necessity. And what has happened here over the 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:19.800 last couple of years because of COVID, we the numbers 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.399 on the subways depending on what line right, because New York, 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.760 much alike everywhere else in the country, is incredibly segregated. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.200 And you can tell the segregation based on the subway lines. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.079 And what are the good trains that roll through areas 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.160 that are always on time, that are cleaner, that are newer, 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:42.480 and then the subways the cars that run through low 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:47.800 income and densely populated immigrant and people of color populations. 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:54.079 And you know what I have noticed, obviously is that 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.840 time on the trains, not the time, but the capacity 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.840 has been down since COVID because one of the first 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.920 things that people stop doing right was being in close quarters. 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.240 There is no other close quarters that I can think 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.360 of than a subway in New York, particularly at rush hour, 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.000 where there are just more people than there are space. 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.960 And I think about these acts of terrorism because this 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.240 is what they all are. Mass shootings are acts of terrorism, 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.400 and then they become hate crimes when they are directed 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.480 at one community or another, or one religious group or another. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:41.240 And this is all attached to our love affair in 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.800 this country with guns. And right now there is a 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.160 Supreme Court case that we've talked about with our friend 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.240 doctor Jonathan Netzell that is going to be decided in 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:54.880 June that is about essentially states can have states rights 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.480 when it pertains to controlling a person's uterus. When it 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.760 is about a state trying to keep its citizens safe 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.600 with regard to gun control, OOO, that's hindering on a 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.000 constitutional right. And so again, the right to own a 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.480 gun is more important than the right for the rest 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.520 of us to pursue our freedom of happiness, the ability 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.240 to be safe in public spaces. And every time that 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.640 there is a shooting, I continue to think about where 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.120 we are going as a society and as a culture. 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:30.040 When you no longer feel safe anywhere, and what the 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:34.400 residual effects of that emotional trauma that is being rained 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.960 down on us on a weekly basis. I don't think 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.400 that there is a weekend that we go through where 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.760 there aren't multiple shootings in multiple places across this country, right, 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.800 whether it is suicide, whether it is a single a 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.960 single victim, whether it is multiple victims. There is not 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.159 a time when we go through a week's of no 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.200 gun violence. The only time that that was was during 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.040 quarantine when people were forced to be inside. What does 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.200 that say about a society that is supposed to be 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:12.320 quote unquote industrialized, quote unquote modern, And yet you can't 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:17.680 go to a grocery store, a church, a synagogue, a mosque, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.960 movie theater, walk around on the street, play on a 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.880 playground in any of these places without the fear of 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:29.440 gun violence erupting. And it isn't just you know, placed 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.160 in these in quote unquote urban centers, which is code 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.800 for black and brown. No, it isn't just there, it's 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:40.960 actually everywhere. And the lie that was continued to be told, 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.920 you know, throughout our lives has been like, oh, it's 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.360 these dangerous urban centers. No, it is not gun violence 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:53.599 is everywhere there are guns. You know, there is no 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.640 such thing as a good person with a gun, in 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.240 my humble opinion, because even a good person with a gun, 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.840 it can make a mistake, cannot have a safety on, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.640 a child can pick it up, they can accidentally shoot 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.200 themselves or other people. How many times do we hear 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:15.320 about accidental shootings? It's just these days. I you know, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.640 over the weekend, I was also you know, speaking and 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.799 connecting with friends and you know, talking about the fact 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.680 we're talking about monkey pocks. We're talking about COVID, the 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.880 the rise back up and the fact that the White 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.760 House hadn't held a COVID briefing in six weeks and 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.160 now we're back at it. The fact that you have, 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:42.240 you know, populations, a quarter of the population is still unvaccinated. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.960 Then we're talking about monkey pocks and the fact that 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.359 those cases have been reported in the United States. And 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.880 my friend says to me, Dear God, can we just 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.480 take one fucking thing at a time? Like is it 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.040 possible for us just to be able to focus on 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.480 one crisis at a time? Like why does everything feel 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.760 like a tidal wave? And that's how it feels, And 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.200 maybe you know, to that point when it comes to 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.479 gun violence and reporting it in this country is the 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.320 fact that, my god, there's just so much gun violence 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.560 that is happening that to lift up every single story 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.760 in every single place, what else would you talk about 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.880 on the news? And I think to me that that 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:25.920 would be an important exercise. What if the gun lobbies, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.840 not the you know, the gun reform lobbies, What if 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:38.960 they lobbied networks CBS, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, all of these 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:44.200 networks for a couple of hours out of the day, 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.800 the same couple of hours out of the day to 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:52.120 just cover gun violence. Just cover every single shooting that 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:54.480 has taken place. See if you have a room for 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:58.840 anything else, And let that be a campaign that is 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.400 out for like a couple of days where you're just like, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.760 oh my god, this is how much gun violence is 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.560 in this country. I think that if it were reported 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.840 not just these mass shootings that catch the public's attention 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.520 and again only for a little bit, only for a 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:19.000 day or two before something else comes, maybe people who 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:23.120 are so pro gun would think twice about it. I 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:29.240 saw this weekend. Let me see if I can find it, 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:37.120 because it was really absolutely insane. There are several GOP 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:42.680 candidates that are running for office. And you know, what 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:47.560 we know is that the GOP has just become an 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.280 extremist cult. There's like no way around it. You know. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:56.120 I was watching another show that is on CNN. It's 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.360 a new like CNN series. I forget the guy's name, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.600 but they're going around, you know, into different places and 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.480 doing like investigative reporting. And one of the first places 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.920 that he went to was Ghana to um to interview 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:15.439 these kind of you know, really incredible renegade journalists who 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:21.120 cover their faces changed their voices because they're unearthing all 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:24.040 of the corruption that is in the government and they 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.360 want Ghana, their their home country, to be corruption free. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.400 And some of the journalists that are part of this 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:36.960 group have been assassinated. And you know, as he's talking 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.360 to them, and he's you know, illuminating like how the 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:46.120 slave trade started in this in this particular country in Africa, 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:52.160 and you know the fact that there were you had slaves, 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:57.160 slave quarters, you had atrocities that were happening in Ghana 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.160 and in this one particular area, these fun mentalist Christians 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:07.800 built a church in the middle of this prison slave 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:15.760 quarter area where they would worship as people are walking 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:21.880 around them covered in blood, bruises, in their own feces, 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:29.040 and these right wing fundamentalist Christian cult erected a church 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:36.760 in the center of it. And what the show said 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:39.760 was just like, there's nothing that you can say to 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.920 this other than the fact that this is a cult 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.559 because it's the Christian Church, has nothing to do with 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.560 African culture, and the fact that it was erected in 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.640 this place to condone acts of violence and torture and 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:59.280 rape is disgusting. Like who does this is what the 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:03.640 narrator saying. And then I look over the weekend and 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:08.120 I see little clips of you know, these GOP extremist 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.280 cult candidates, and there was this woman standing in front 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:19.080 of a sign that said guns, God and babies, and 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.880 one of the woke f Matthew, thank you so much 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.040 for sending it to me on Instagram. I was dumb struck. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.600 But I'm like, when you look at these signs and 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.520 this is what these people are standing by and touting, 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.960 they are lunatics. And what is scary is that they're 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:45.199 not fringe like guns, God and babies. You don't care 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.800 about babies because one hundred and ninety two Republicans in 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.200 the House of Representatives voted against the production of baby formula. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.920 And anybody who wants to come out and tell me like, oh, 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.720 that's not what they voted against, shut up, shut up. 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.240 They have vote it against the child tax credit. They 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:06.200 have voted against relief for families. So you want to 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:13.600 put up a sign for your election rally that is guns, babies, 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.360 and God, and that is supposed to make you a patriot. 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.440 You don't even understand God, That's what That's what gets 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:27.679 me about these people. They have no understanding of God whatsoever. Right, 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.280 they don't even understand the teachings of their own Bible. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.920 That once again, like in nowhere did it say that 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.400 God is anti abortion? In nowhere did it say that 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.680 slavery is condoned in nowhere does? It's looks like these 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:45.880 white evangelical Christian people and their interpretation, in their interpretation 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.760 of religion, their interpretation of like how society should function, 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:59.320 it's through violence, threat, persecution, misogyny, and patriarchy. So they 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.520 may contin in you to make inroads, which they are doing, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.120 but I'm telling you the only way that this ends 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:10.400 is through violence. And they have all the guns. So honestly, 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.800 without other countries intervening. When America does erupt into a 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:19.760 civil war, I don't know how this ends. But when 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.120 you have these people who want to talk about the 0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:28.199 sanity of life, you're putting up a sign that says guns, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:34.920 God and babies. Are you dumb? This is twenty five 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.880 percent of the population, and I'm wondering when the other 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.960 seventy five percent are going to wake up and take 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:46.400 action because something has to be done. Coming up next, 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.160 my conversation with our friend Glenn Kirshner breaking down the 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:54.440 latest in all of the legalise, where Trump is in 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.640 terms of these investigations, what is happening with the one 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.880 six House Commission as we get ready to prepare for 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:11.280 the primetime hearings that is coming up next.

New episodes every Tuesday. Folks, 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.440 you know that whenever I have an opportunity to chat 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.680 with our friend MSNBC legal analysts and the host of 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.960 Justice Matters Glenn Kirshner. I am beyond myself because I'm 0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:53.320 hoping that this week, this week, Glenn, we may have 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.240 some actual good news to share for once, because the 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.400 last time you are on, I think we both left 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.360 and wanted to jump off of a cliff. But so 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.400 tell us where we are with the latest with the 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.640 one six House Committee, because we are getting close to 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:15.360 the June primetime reveal of their year plus of work. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.200 So where are we right now? Yeah, you know, I 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.240 don't know that we can balance out the bad news, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.600 but we're going to try. So. I wish I had 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:28.080 done a better job kind of communicating this in recent months, 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.680 because you know, we are forever you and I and others, Danielle, 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.920 we are forever frustrated because it feels like the Department 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:40.640 of Justice isn't doing enough, isn't moving quickly enough, isn't 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:45.360 going after the people who need to be indicted, if 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:49.560 only for public safety reasons, so Trump and company cannot 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:53.560 continue their crime spree. But here is the thing that 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.800 I think has come into full focus for me. So 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.600 I'm going to start to beat this drum. We know 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:05.760 that the Department of Justice has just requested a thousand 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:10.040 transcripts from the J six Committee. That leads us to say, 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:14.119 why in the world is DJ taking a back seat 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.560 to the J six Committee in these important investigative interviews? 0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:24.920 And that feels wrong, and it feels like DJ is negligent. Right, 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.680 But here is what I think we need to remember. 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:34.240 The J six Committee staff, the investigative staff is made 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:40.719 up almost exclusively by a former federal prosecutors. It is 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.919 headed the chief investigative counsel guy named Tim Heafee, former 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:48.359 colleague and friend of mine from the DCUs Attorney's Office, 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.920 is really one of the most adept rico prosecutors I know. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:58.440 So what I'm confident of, Danielle is these thousand interviews 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:05.840 were put together by a team of dedicated, determined former 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:12.720 federal prosecutors. So it's almost like these thousand interviews could 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.879 have been run as grand jury interviews by the Department 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:19.800 of Justice and they're going to end up being justice 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:25.359 valuable to the ultimate criminal prosecution of Trump and company. 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.760 That should give us some comfort. The other reason that 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.919 I think this was I'm going to say, a smart 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:35.000 tactical move. If in fact what we're discussing is a 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.400 product of tactics and not happenstance. I think there's probably 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.919 both things at play in the way this investigation has progressed. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.119 If the Department of Justice had taken the lead and 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:52.840 grand jury these thousand witnesses, you know what that would mean. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.760 None of us would ever know anything that was said 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.760 in the grand jury by these thousand witnesses. We wouldn't 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.280 know on June ninth or June tenth, or in twenty 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.040 twenty three or in twenty twenty four. The only way 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.680 we would know what any of those thousand witnesses said 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:15.040 was if a criminal prosecution was brought and one or 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:18.679 more of those witnesses was called to testify in a 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.040 public trial, then we would get some little sliver of 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:26.720 what they said about the insurrection and Trump's culpability for 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:31.640 the insurrection. How frustrating would that be? Right? What we're 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:36.200 gonna now get to see courtesy of this I think 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:41.879 really important investigation that's been conducted by J six is 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:46.800 the full show through the eyes of the thousand witnesses 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.280 who were in the room or otherwise privy to Donald 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.920 Trump and Company's crimes. And we're getting the White House 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.600 photographer to boot right, and that's going to be. I'm 0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.959 telling you a picture painting a thousand words. When Stephanie 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:06.640 Grisham said during the insurrection, Donald Trump was gleefully celebrating it. 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.560 I saw it. We're gonna now see also photographs and 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:16.920 perhaps video of Donald Trump gleefully celebrating the insurrection, according 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.760 to Grisham, hitting rewind with the good parts when they 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.800 were really beating people up, when they according to Stephanie Grisham, 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.480 when Trump's had looked there fighting for me for three hours, 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.239 Donald Trump waged war against the democratic process and the 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:36.440 United States of America, and he refused to call it off. Danielle, 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.560 We're gonna see that movie through the testimony of the 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:45.960 people who were in the room beginning June ninth, and 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.400 after we see it and we know there's enough evidence 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.040 to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Donald Trump's crimes. DJ 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:57.840 will have to indict. They will have to indict, or 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.040 they're giving our republic away and the legitimacy of the 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:05.359 Department of Justice will be gone. So the way this 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:10.320 has played out is not as bad as it's been 0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:14.480 feeling to us. I guess my concern here, Glenn. Now, 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.520 at first I want to say This is good news. 0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:22.000 This is some movement we've been looking to see if 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.439 the lights have been on inside of the Department of 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.080 Justice or if they've just been in a deep slumber. 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.200 This shows to me, Okay, somebody flipped the switch right, 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:36.440 because they're asking for these thousand documents, these thousand transcripts 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:41.200 of the interviews that we're done. However, I am really 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:48.879 cautious in getting myself excited because I have PTSD from 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:53.720 the Muller investigation. So can you give us some insight 0:21:54.000 --> 0:22:01.840 into how this reveal come June may be different and 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.359 or the same from what we saw with the muel Report. 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:08.440 Now I pray to God that there is nothing other 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:12.159 than it being in the same room that's the same 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.840 from the Muller report. But what what What are we 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:17.760 going to be looking for? What are you going to 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.480 be looking for as we gear up for this next month? 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.320 You know, I'm with you, Danielle. This is the curse 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.120 of being the eternal optimist. Because our heads hurt from 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:29.560 having the rug pulled out from under us while we're 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.959 standing on it so many times and having our heads 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:36.640 you know, crack on the basement, and we're tired of it. 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:39.080 So I'm with you that we shouldn't get our hopes up, 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.800 we should manage our own expectations. But you know, the 0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:48.040 Mueller Report fell flat because Bill Barr lied about it 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:52.879 and did not let the mechanisms of government do what 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.480 should have been done once Bob Mueller documented ten obstruction 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:01.040 of justice crimes by Donald Trump, right, and we had 0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:05.400 Judge Reggie Walton, a personal favorite of mine, who said 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:08.920 Bill Barr spun the Mother Report and deceive the American people, 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.840 and Bill Barr lacks candor. Those are Judge Walton's words, 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.840 not mine. And that's why I'm not all that excited 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:21.160 about Bill Barr's supposed appearance before J six. I do 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.959 think this is going to be different because there is 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:29.920 no Bill Barr in a position of power to tank 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:35.240 the J six committee hearings or findings or report that 0:23:35.359 --> 0:23:39.240 will be issued. That has me optimistic. I'm also optimistic 0:23:39.240 --> 0:23:42.600 because we've all seen these congressional hearings that make us 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.760 sick to our stomachs, because you have the Democrats who 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:48.800 are interested in getting reliable information out, and then you've 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:52.280 got the yammering idiots like Jim Jordan and Gomer and 0:23:52.359 --> 0:23:56.920 the rest of them just sat and spouting their garbage 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:01.800 and their propaganda and their disinformation. Right, that is not 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:05.840 what this hearing will be. This hearing will be everyone 0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:10.240 in the room who has a microphone, even if they're 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:16.240 Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger on the same patriotic page. 0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.640 And that is what's going to make it so compelling. 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:21.920 I really do believe it's going to be compelling. Now. 0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:24.800 The fact that we may see a compelling movie over 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.399 the course of some eight hearings or however many are scheduled, 0:24:28.920 --> 0:24:36.399 doesn't translate into accountability necessarily. But I also think once 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:41.320 we see with our own eyes the damaging evidence that 0:24:41.960 --> 0:24:44.680 shows we can prove Trump's crimes beyond a reasonable doubt. 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:48.199 As I say, if the Department of Justice cares at 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.880 all about the viability of our democracy, they must indict 0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:56.680 after that. And let's face it, what they announced. We 0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:02.400 need these transcripts because we have a criminal investigation into 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:07.160 all things insurrection, taking liberties with the precise language, and 0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:11.000 that's why we want them. And you know what, Benny Thompson, 0:25:11.040 --> 0:25:13.639 God bless him, said, you know what, I'm not crazy 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.600 about giving you our work product. If I were him, 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:18.720 and I know I got our kid from Jersey. I 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.359 probably would have stooped a little bit. I would have 0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:26.400 said yes, and we referred to you crimes against Congress 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:30.399 months ago. You know what we would like We would 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:34.880 like you to prosecute the contempt of Congress, that we 0:25:34.920 --> 0:25:38.800 are victims of we in Congress, and that we would 0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:44.760 really need to progress in our investigation. How about you 0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:48.199 give us a little something. He didn't say that, but 0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:51.800 he did flex his coequal branch of government muscle and said, 0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:55.520 thank you. This is our work product. We have hearings 0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:59.199 coming up. We'll get back to you on Matt and 0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.159 ultimately these transcripts are gonna go over. If I were 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:05.760 Representative Thompson, I might say, you know, I expect there 0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:09.360 will be subpoena's forthcoming for these transcripts that will give 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:13.760 them some cover, because I don't think I want Congress ever, 0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:18.240 cowtowing to the Department of Justice is coequal branch of government, 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:20.960 the executive and just say oh, oh, you're asking for stuff. 0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:22.960 Here you go, here you go, because then you get 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:26.600 a corrupt Republican administration. Right, They're gonna say, oh, well, 0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:30.720 you gave everything over when they asked previously so this 0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:34.840 is representative Thompson being smart and circumspect and doing the 0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:37.960 right thing. But ultimately it's all going to go over 0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:41.719 and ultimately indictments are going to drop. I mean, I 0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:45.120 hope that you're right, Glenn. We already know that Eastman 0:26:45.200 --> 0:26:49.399 has been indicted, right, we have that indictment down. We 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:52.840 know Eastman hasn't been indicted. Eastman hasn't been indicted, He's 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:57.600 only been investigated. He's been investigated, and that California judge 0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:01.959 said that there was criminal it primes by a preponderance 0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:05.200 of the evidence. But we're still awaiting an Eastman indictment. 0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:10.760 I mean, do you think God, at the pace that 0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:16.240 this is going, that the Department of Justice's plan is 0:27:16.280 --> 0:27:21.639 to drop justice series of indictments all at the same time, because, 0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:25.520 I mean, for the love of God, Glenn, we knew 0:27:25.520 --> 0:27:30.000 that Eastman literally was the architect with the PowerPoint presentation 0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.720 several months ago, right enough for it to go before 0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:38.960 California judged. So tell me what you think if we 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:42.880 believe that the Department of Justice is actually lights on 0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.800
