1 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: Well, we're coming to y'all city, saying you as well, 2 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: desire and if you want a little bag and come along. 3 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: That's true. If the experience of other rich countries like 4 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: us when inflations above for and unemployments below for, you 5 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: are almost certain to have a recession within the next 6 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: two years. The Second Amendment, like all other rights, is 7 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: not absolute. We need to ban assault weapons and high 8 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: capacity magazines. I'm asking why it is that you can 9 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: say he wants to give, he can go. Do you 10 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: want to go to the beach with the president? Today? 11 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: Freedom is back in style. Welcome revolution, I'm coming to play, 12 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: saying you a conscious Sean Show behind the scenes, information 13 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. 14 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: This is a special edition of The Sean Hannity Show 15 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, Day number two ninety six, 16 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: Day two ninety six, three hundred nine days since Joey 17 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: said he wouldn't do it, abandoned Americans behind the enemy 18 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: lines and the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. And there they 19 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: are there, they stay, there, they remain, and even Lincoln, 20 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: Tony Blincoln admitted that this still there. Just what a 21 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, um before we get started, and 22 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna take a broad, big picture of what is 23 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: emerged as the Democratic Party's strategy for the upcoming midterm elections. 24 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: I don't think any of it's going to work. I'll 25 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: say that up front, and I just want you to 26 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: keep as we get into this, keep in your mind 27 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: the following numbers. When Joe Biden became president on day one, 28 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: the average national cost of a gallon of gasoline was 29 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: two dollars and thirty nine cents. Those we refer to 30 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: those now as the good old days. Today's national averages 31 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: four dollars and eighty six cents a gallon. There are 32 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: places now with gasoline costing over eight bucks a gallon. 33 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: There are more states over six bucks a gallon than 34 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: I can even count at this point. That is one 35 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine percent increase. Now, if we just 36 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: went back to the policies at Trump on energy alone, 37 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: and we didn't artificially reduce the supply of energy we 38 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: would immediate that would have a great and dramatic impact 39 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: on inflation, and it would it would help reduce the 40 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: cost of every item we buy, because every item we 41 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: buy at every store that we go to is usually 42 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: getting there because some great American and an eighteen wheeler 43 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: gets it there. But they're not going to They don't 44 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: deserve to be paid less, especially in these inflation every times, 45 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: they're not going to charge less. Trucking companies aren't going 46 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: to charge less that they have to pass those costs 47 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: onto the consumer that would be us or else they'll 48 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: go belly up. And nobody's working that hard to for charity. 49 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: They can't afford to do it. So the obvious answers, 50 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: this is what it is now, I say that, and 51 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: then I've got a lot of other information I'm going 52 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: to pass on to you today about this because it 53 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: looks like what is emerging with the Democratic Party is 54 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: a four pronged strategy. Number one is if row is 55 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: as we anticipate, overturned, they're going to try to motivate 56 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: the country saying, see, look at what Republicans have done. 57 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: Abortion is illegal. We're gonna have, you know, look a 58 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: look at what they were painting in front of Supreme 59 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: Court justices, homes, you know, code hangers, back alley, abortions, 60 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: all of the rhetoric I told you we'd hear all 61 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: the things I knew they'd say. They started saying it 62 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: almost immediately. And but here's what's going to happen between 63 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: now and then. Between now and then, something is going 64 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: to happen. And that's called it's gonna dawn on the 65 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: American people that this right that Roe gave Americans, the 66 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 1: right to an abortion, is not enumerated in the Constitution. 67 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: Then we moved to the second of the tenth Amendment 68 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: of the Constitution. Every item, not doubt what that goes 69 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: back to the states. So if it's not enumerated in 70 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: the Constitution, it is perfectly constitutional to let the states 71 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: decide and then the American people on that issue, it 72 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: will dawn on them. Oh, I live in New York. 73 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: Abortion is going to be legal here, even up until 74 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: probably what the moment before birth, as some other states have, 75 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: and so on and so on and so on. Now 76 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: different states will have different laws. Will any one state 77 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: completely restrict abortion? I don't think so. Maybe one or two, 78 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: maybe three. I don't think any more than that. But 79 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: there'll be restrictions on you know, going back to the 80 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: Clinton era, this is how far the Democratic Party has 81 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: come from even Clinton, which is abortion should be legal, safe, 82 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: and rare. And I'll add a word early. If you 83 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: consider yourself pro choice, I am pro life. I take 84 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: a very pro life position, but I make exceptions for 85 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: rape incest in the mother's life. That's neither here nor there. 86 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Americans will know before election day that all of this rhetoric, 87 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: all of this hyperbole that is being spewed all over 88 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: the cable airwaves and by liberal Democrats is just not true. 89 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: It will dawn on them that abortion is not illegal 90 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: in America, will put that issue off to the side 91 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: for a minute. Then they're going to go after the 92 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: Second Amendment. Americans are not going to sacrifice their Second 93 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: Amendment rights for all of the reasons we've discussed since 94 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: what happened in Uvaldi. I have a case actually that 95 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: I'll get to later in the program today where there 96 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: was an incident where a shooting took place, and if 97 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: it wasn't for an armed citizen. This is in West Virginia, 98 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: twenty or thirty people could have been killed. But that 99 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: armed citizen took it upon herself in this particular case 100 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: and prevented a mass casualty. And even the CDC points out, 101 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: on average, what two and a half million of My 102 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: statistics are still in my brain from last week. Times 103 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: a year that happens, so Americans, that's not going to 104 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: get them the Holy growl. That's not going to be 105 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: the wedge issue they think it's going to be, especially 106 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: the party that is all for coddling criminals, to defunding, 107 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: dismantling police departments, and are for these crazy and insane 108 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: nobel laws. That's not going to fly either. So the 109 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: third bucket of things that they're looking at is, Okay, 110 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna go to the January sixth committee, We're gonna 111 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: look at Donald Trump. We're gonna call it sedition, we're 112 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: gonna call it insurrection. And I'll get into that more 113 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 1: detail in a second. That's not going to happen either 114 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: because these are the same people that didn't say a word, 115 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: or if they did, they only openly supported the riots 116 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty. And I'll go through 117 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: all the numbers with you and for you so you understand, 118 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, why is it they only care about the 119 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: one incident of violence and they ignore the you know, 120 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: nearly seven hundred riots in the summer of twenty twenty 121 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: that killed dozens of Americans. Injured thousands of police officers 122 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: and caused billions in property damage. So Americans are going 123 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: to understand that this is completely political. Is you know, 124 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: they wanted to have Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on 125 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: the pad, they would not allow that to happen. They're 126 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: not going to interview Nancy Pelosi, They're not going to 127 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: interview Muriel Bowser. If they really wanted to keep the 128 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: capital safe, which I think they should, I think you 129 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: need similar types of protections like you have around the 130 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: White House. That's what I would provide our elected officials, 131 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: and that means have a system and then also have 132 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: it at your avail. The ability to call up if 133 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: there's any protests going on in the city, the ability 134 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: to call up National Guard troops, so we can never 135 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: let something like that happen again. But that would be 136 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: the same with the summer rioting in twenty twenty. Just basic, simple, obvious, 137 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: common sensical points. But of course I don't think they're 138 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: looking for solutions. This is like the third impeachment of 139 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, So you know, they are the main questions 140 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: that they're not going to ask. Let me let me 141 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: go to interviews that I've done because I think they're 142 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: very revealing. And what we now know we didn't know, 143 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: is that two days before January sixth, as required by law, 144 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump authorized up to twenty thousand troops to 145 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: be made available to DC, knowing we came off the 146 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty rioting, knowing tensions in the country 147 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: were high, knowing that they were going to march to 148 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: the capital. He made this authorization. The Defense Secretary, the 149 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: chief of staff of the Defense Secretary, the chief of 150 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: Staff of the President, Mark Meadows, and the President himself 151 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: have all confirmed this. For me, I have, for example, 152 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: the chief of Staff of the Defense Department, Cash Patel. 153 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: This is what he said about the President authorizing. Remember, 154 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: if the argument is going to be Donald Trump wanted this, 155 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump caused this, Donald Trump incited this, this is edition, 156 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: this is an insurrection. Then why did he authorize up 157 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: to twenty thou troops. Now you need to know this 158 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: one part. After you authorize that, that process is completely 159 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: out of his power. The jurisdiction to actually call them 160 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: up after he authorized it, as required by law, would 161 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: lay in the hands of the Speaker of the House, 162 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: who's in charge of safety at the capital. Nancy Pelosi 163 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: and the DC mayor who in writing rejected the calling 164 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: up of the National Guard troops. Anyway, here's Cash Battel, 165 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, and Donald Trump himself confirming this. You have 166 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: a timeline of the events that day, and you were 167 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: backed up by the Inspector General of the Department of 168 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: Defense in terms of you taking the right actions. My 169 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: question to you is what is in that timeline that 170 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: people need to know? No fantastic question. It's backed up 171 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: by writing Mayor Bowser's written refusal, the communications between the 172 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: leader of the Capitol Police and their chain of commands, 173 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: and the DoD refusing our request to allow National guardsmen 174 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: and women to stage on January four and five before 175 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: January sixth. That's in the timeline. The repeated written request 176 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: refusals are there, along with the chain of the command 177 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: that the dd followed. And this I'll leave you at 178 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: this on the Bates thing, the DoD is the only 179 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,959 Speaker 1: no failed mission on God's Green Earth, and we were 180 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: proven right that we acted lawfully on January sixth under 181 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: the law and under President Trump's authorities. Don't say something 182 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: that's in the timeline as well. It sounds like they 183 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: weren't interested. Is it fair then to conclude that had 184 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's request for National Guard troops two days before 185 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: the six, had the mayor of DC approved it, and 186 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: Answer Pelosi approved it, is it a safe assumption that 187 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: what happened on January six wouldn't have happened. Well, I'll 188 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: leave it to your viewers to picture ten thousand to 189 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: twenty thousand uniform military officers trained to protect not just 190 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: property but personnel surrounding the United States Capital. I can't 191 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: imagine a force on the universe that could get through that. 192 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: Did he or did he not ask for the National 193 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: Guard knowing that there would be big crowds in DC beforehand. Well, Sean, 194 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: you've reported on this before. You know it didn't get 195 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: much attention. I can tell you that not only did 196 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: Donald Trump want to make sure the National Guard was available, 197 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: he repeated that a number of times. And I think 198 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: that there are a number of people that he's communicated 199 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 1: with that can back me up on that particular assessment. 200 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: So we said to the Department of Defense, the top 201 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: person days before we had the rally, because ed Rowley 202 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: was massive, and I said that I think he should 203 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: have ten thousand. I think I gave the number. I 204 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: definitely gave the number of ten thousand National guardsman, I 205 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: think you should have ten thousand of the National Guard ready. 206 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: They took that number. From what I understand, they gave 207 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: it to the people at the Capitol, which is controlled 208 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: by Pelosi, and I heard they rejected it because they 209 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: can look good. So now the January sixth committee bucket 210 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: number one. Remember, this is what the Democrats are hoping 211 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: and pinning all their hopes on money in this midterm election, 212 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: on on abortion, on gun control, on this January sixth hearing, 213 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: and then the last would be their normal playbook. Republicans 214 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic. They want dirty 215 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: air and water, and they want Granny and Grandpa thrown 216 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: over a cliff by Donald Trump look alike. So now 217 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: we're discovering that they won't even ask Nancy, why didn't 218 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: you call up the troops that Donald Trump authorized? Why 219 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser, did you, in writing reject the troops that 220 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: would have prevented January six You know, the things that 221 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: they want to do now are beginning to come to light. 222 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second. They don't want 223 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: to talk to the people that had the power and 224 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: ability and the authorization to protect the capital. They have 225 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: a new agenda that's emerging, which by the way, is 226 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: led by Jamie Raskin. He wants the January sixth Committee 227 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: to abolish the electoral College. He calls it an undemocratic relic, 228 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: and you know it's it's basically now become. This is 229 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: what they're pinning their hopes on. And they've even hired 230 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: the former ABC News president to produce this primetime extravaganza 231 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday, hoping that the nation will have a new 232 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: perspective on this. Well, if you don't ask the pertinent questions, 233 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: how do you how do you lay the blame of 234 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: sedition and the insurrection on the guy that authorized the 235 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: calling up of troops. That's a pretty hard question overcome anyway, 236 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: eight hundred nine one, Shawn, if he wanted to be 237 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: a part of the program, I think the answer is obvious. Eight. 238 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: Now there's a polo. By the way, this is NBC News. 239 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: A poll that came out and fifty of people and 240 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: they don't even know the facts that Donald Trump won't 241 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: nobody in the media, and with this sophisticated, slick marketing 242 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: campaign hiring a former ABC News president to produce this 243 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: prime time extravagance. On January sixth, it said, there's so 244 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: many things that they're not going to tell. Why Why 245 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: if they really cared about security at the Capitol, and 246 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: I really care and I think we really did need 247 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: a January sixth committee, except not one that was abusively, 248 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, biased in one direction. You can ignore the 249 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: fact that Donald Trump authorized, as required by law, up 250 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: to twenty thousand troops being called up two days prior, 251 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,239 Speaker 1: and then not ask the people that had the authority 252 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: based on the President's authorization to call them up why 253 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: they didn't. That would be Nancy Pelosi, that would be 254 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser. Or bring in the Capitol police chief, who 255 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: on six separate occasions said we need the guard here, 256 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: knowing that there were big crowds, knowing we came off 257 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty twenty, etc. Etc. So it's if 258 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: you want solutions, I can give you the solution right now. 259 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: The same protections that we have at the White House, 260 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: and I've been there, and the should be at the Capitol. 261 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: You should they have, for example, those cement barriers they 262 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: have a high fence, They have very limited the ability 263 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: to shut off that road in any entry point getting 264 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: near the White House if they want to. They have 265 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: a lot of arm guards around protecting our elected officials. 266 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: That's what I would do, and I think we actually 267 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: have a responsibility, just like I do the same thing 268 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: to protect our kids in school. You know. But if 269 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: you're if you're not going to bring up the entire 270 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: issue and not going to come up with a solution, 271 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: and you're just going to come up with a slick 272 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: marketing campaign that eliminates half the equation here, you're not 273 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, this is a predetermined outcome. It's like, oh, 274 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: let's impeach Donald Trump again, you know. And ignoring all 275 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: of the riots in the summer of twenty twenty, there 276 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: were five hundred and seventy four riots and by the way, 277 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: violence took place in six hundred and nine protests around 278 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: the country and thousands were injured in terms of police, 279 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: thousands dead, and billions in property damage. Why aren't we 280 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: investigating that
