The speaker claims that on January 6th, there was violence against the constitution, Congress, and the U.S. Capitol. They allege that they begged the President of the United States to send in the National Guard, but he refused. The speaker further claims that the president would not send in the National Guard when law enforcement people were being harmed, some of whom later died. They assert this inaction occurred during an insurrection that the president incited, which caused damage to those assigned to protect the capital and the constitution and to accept the results of the electoral college.

The speaker questions the legitimacy of the claim that Trump is an insurrectionist, stating that for this to be true, one must believe that the events of January 6th constituted a genuine attempt at taking over the government. They highlight that historically, there has never been an armed insurrection. The speaker mentions the presence of individuals like the man in a buffalo costume and suggests that the Capitol Police were the ones armed on that day. They imply that there may have been deep state intervention and note that Joe Biden considers Trump to be an insurrectionist.

The speaker believes Trump's poll numbers show Americans don't trust the media. The speaker claims Trump hasn't been charged with insurrection, and if there was any chance of conviction, he would have been charged. The speaker argues it wasn't an insurrection because those involved were unarmed, and Trump told people to protest "peacefully and patriotically." The speaker believes the focus on January 6th is because the Democratic party is scared of Trump. The speaker accuses journalists of being cowardly and part of a propaganda outlet. The speaker questions why the January 6th pipe bomber hasn't been caught and suggests looking at reporting from Revolver News.

Pardoning individuals involved in the January 6th Capitol violence was a mistake, as it may suggest that such actions are acceptable. This could lead to increased violence and undermines law enforcement. While Trump has generally supported law enforcement, his decision to issue these pardons disappointed many in that community. He had previously indicated he would do so, which was not surprising. The broader issue of pardoning those who commit violent acts or destroy property, regardless of political affiliation, raises concerns about the abuse of presidential pardon power.

Speaker 0 highlights the aftermath of the January 6th violence at the Capitol, with over 1200 people charged and almost 900 convicted or pleading guilty. Trump, instead of labeling them criminals, refers to the insurrectionists as patriots and even promises to pardon them if he regains office. While Trump claims there was love on that day, the nation, including law enforcement, witnessed hate and violence. A Capitol police officer describes it as a medieval battle and expresses fear.

President Trump's administration did not need additional authorization to deploy National Guard troops on January 6th. The decision was influenced by Mayor Bowser's letter declining additional troops. Kash Patel's testimony, which was initially kept private, may have played a role in the lack of charges against Trump for insurrection.

Prosecution of misdemeanor defendants was critically important because there were no small crimes on January 6th. Misdemeanor defendants were accused of trespassing at the Capitol, knowingly remaining where they shouldn't have, and their presence enabled mob violence. The volume of people who stormed the Capitol contributed to the violence and damage. Many misdemeanor defendants understood what the violent rioters meant to accomplish and knowingly lent their bodies to the effort. The rioters were treated fairly, with skilled attorneys, opportunities to challenge evidence, and jury trials. Their constitutional rights were protected, and they were convicted in overwhelming numbers.

In the decision, it was argued that Donald Trump participated in an insurrection. The consideration of whether he should be allowed on the ballot before being found guilty of the crime of insurrection was discussed. Section 3 of the 14th Amendment was carefully reviewed, which states "engage" rather than "conviction." The events of January 6, 2021, were described as unprecedented and tragic, constituting an attack on the capital, government officials, and the rule of law. The weight of evidence reviewed indicated that it was indeed an insurrection, and Donald Trump was involved according to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

My primary duty is to uphold the constitution and the rule of law. Without any other influences, we concluded that Mr. Trump committed insurrection under section 3 of the 14th amendment.

To claim that Trump is an insurrectionist, one must believe that the events of January 6th were a genuine attempt to take over the government. However, there has never been an armed insurrection in history. The Capitol Police were the ones armed that day, and it appears that there may have been deep state intervention involved. Despite this, Joe Biden still considers Trump to be an insurrectionist.

Those involved in the violent protests should face consequences, particularly those who assaulted police officers. The actions on the Supreme Court side were unlawful, and those who trespassed should be held accountable. There’s no justification for the violence that occurred. Regarding pardons, Trump has stated he would consider cases individually, not universally. It's important to recognize that Ashley Babbitt was the only person who died on January 6th, and her presence was influenced by Trump's claims about a stolen election. The investigation into that day should have been thorough for transparency. The public deserves to see the full picture of what transpired.

It's crucial for everyone to forget what was said that day. A call was made to march to the Capitol to peacefully express voices, but it escalated into a violent siege. Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler highlighted the severity of the situation, noting that a Capitol police officer was killed by the mob, which also defaced symbols of freedom. The rioters were actively searching for the vice president and the speaker of the house.

President Trump supports peaceful protest and the right of Americans to make their voices heard. He does not support violence or assaulting law enforcement officers. The speaker claims the president has made his position clear, unlike the Democrats, who have allowed unrest and violence to continue, requiring the president to intervene. When asked if President Trump would allow peaceful protests on Saturday for the militant parade, the speaker affirmed the president supports peaceful protests, calling the question stupid.

The events on January 6th are often labeled as an insurrection, but this characterization is misleading. Initially, reports described it as a riot, and the term "insurrection" only emerged later to demonize those involved. The actions taken by citizens were a response to their frustrations, not an organized attempt to overthrow the government. For an event to be classified as an insurrection, there must be a clear hierarchy and intent to replace a government, which was not the case here. The Capitol remains intact, and the situation was not comparable to true insurrections seen elsewhere. It's important to educate young people about these distinctions and not let them be misled by sensationalized narratives.

The speaker argues that the definition of an insurrection should be based on historical usage and not made up after the fact. They claim that the term "engage" means to do something, but it is unclear what exactly that entails. They assert that President Trump did not engage in an insurrection as he did not incite violence or physically lead an attack. They criticize the argument that he should have done more, calling it Monday morning quarterbacking. They reject the claim that Trump was negligent and argue that he took actions to prevent violence. They emphasize that he called for peace multiple times in his speech and messages on January 6th.

Speaker 0 describes that on 07/18/2023 special counsel Jack Smith has decided to pursue another arrest and more indictments of President Trump, alleging it is a result of the Fed storming the Capitol on 01/06/2021 and targeting Trump for his role in the effort to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power on that date. He asserts that all President Trump did was give a speech and that he incited nothing. He claims the people disrupting the peaceful transfer of power were “our government.” He argues that when videos from the Capitol appeared, Tucker Carlson, while still on Fox News, claimed the videos were manipulated, asserting they were added to with people, sound, fire, and smoke, probably mirrors, to make it look horrific. He says footage has been removed from the Internet, making reflection on 01/06 difficult, and that all remaining footage is manipulated, stating there was not all the fire and smoke and that the famous picture is a manipulated image. He asserts the rioters didn’t bring guns and that there was no fire or smoke, but instead “where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” and that history has been changed and references are no longer available. He claims that during the Fed’s direction, Trump did say on video what he should have said, including “I know your pain. I know your hurt. We had an election stolen from us, but you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to respect our great people in law and order. There’s nothing more he could have said.” He notes the video is difficult to find but exonerates Trump, maintaining he incited nothing, especially since the feds were doing most of it. He says this video will be important in the coming weeks and months as Smith continues to go after Trump, predicting suppression of the video by social media platforms, as in the immediate aftermath of the Fed’s direction. He says he captured the video and urges sharing. Speaker 1 quotes Trump: “I know you’re pained. I know you’re hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt. It’s a very tough period of time. There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened, where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You’re very special. You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil. I know how you feel, but go home and go home at peace.” Speaker 0 adds that Tucker Carlson claimed Democrat party and those involved in planning and organizing the insurrection hired a Good Morning America producer to dramatize the footage and even dubbed in sound, to make it more sensational, implying the footage was staged. He questions why it would be necessary to add sound and create more people and fire or smoke to redefine the events, suggesting the feds planted and altered footage to present an insurrection. Speaker 2 reinforces the claim with a direct statement: “How staged and fraudulent was the work of the January 6 committee? Democrats hired a Good Morning America producer called James Goldston to dramatize the footage they released. They even dubbed in audio to make the pictures more sensational as in a docudrama. The networks carried it all live as if it were real.”

On January 6th, there were claims of a deadly insurrection at the Capitol, but the video evidence shows otherwise. While some violence occurred, the majority of the chaos was peaceful. The media falsely reported that Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by the mob, but surveillance footage shows him walking in the Capitol unharmed. This contradicts the narrative that he was murdered by Trump supporters. The January 6th committee had access to this footage but chose not to release it, as it would undermine their political agenda. The truth about what happened that day is being concealed for political gain.

The rally, initially planned as a political protest, saw some individuals advocating for storming the Capitol even before Trump addressed the crowd.

The Democrats' snap impeachment of the president is complete with hysteria and hypocrisy. They didn't gather evidence or allow due process, and now they're short on facts. They claim the president incited an insurrection with his January 6th remarks, but major media outlets, the FBI, court documents, and even AOC confirm the Capitol breach was pre-planned by violent agitators. Reports show the FBI warned of a potential "war at the Capitol" beforehand, contradicting claims of no prior indication of violence. The Capitol Police Chief requested the National Guard multiple times, but his pleas were rejected. The federal government needs to investigate why the Capitol Police were unprepared and why Pelosi didn't have the sergeant of arms prepare. We need a nine eleven style commission to investigate this so it never happens again. If the riot was planned in advance, the argument that Trump incited the insurrection is invalid.

In a conversation with ABC's Jonathan Karl, Trump discussed his intentions for January 6th. He initially planned to go to the Capitol but was advised against it by the Secret Service. Trump expressed his desire to return and personally address the situation, but the Secret Service disagreed. He believed he would have been well received. As a prosecutor, this conversation could be useful in building a case against Trump, as it shows his knowledge of his supporters' actions. However, Trump's objective seems to be more political than legal. His rhetoric is becoming increasingly dangerous, as seen in his recent True Social post. It is clear that he is unfit for public office and poses a threat to democracy.

Many people entered the Capitol building without permission, which is a federal crime. Our focus is on prosecuting those who entered the building or engaged in violent or corrupt behavior on Capitol grounds. However, it's important to note that even those who entered the restricted area without authorization committed a federal crime. Thousands of people occupied an area where they were not allowed to be in the first place.

On January 6th, a mob breached the Capitol building, resulting in the deaths of five police officers. The Democratic Party and the national news media quickly labeled it a deadly insurrection, a phrase that carried emotional weight. However, surveillance footage from inside the Capitol showed mostly chaotic but peaceful scenes. The media also falsely claimed that Officer Brian Sicknick was murdered with a fire extinguisher, which was later retracted. The video evidence disproves this claim, as Sicknick can be seen walking in the Capitol after the alleged attack. The January 6th committee, aware of this footage, chose not to release it to the public, revealing their dishonesty.

The Colorado Supreme Court concluded that the events on January 6th did not qualify as an insurrection, according to the petitioner's supporters. The argument made was that there was no organized attempt to overthrow the government through violence. The events were described as a riot, shameful, criminal, and violent, but not meeting the criteria of an insurrection. President Trump's lawyers emphasized that he did not engage in any act that could be characterized as an insurrection. Trump himself spoke about the Supreme Court and presidential immunity, expressing concerns about the current administration's handling of various issues, including the border and foreign relations. He also criticized the media and highlighted victories against tyranny in Canada.

The speaker describes a shift in perspective about January 6, recounting that he did not initially suspect U.S. law enforcement or military involvement or a false flag. He notes an interview with Capitol Police Chief Stephen Sund, who he says stated that “that guy was filled with federal agents,” a claim Sund would know from being in charge of security. He observes that, two and a half years later, core claims about January 6 appear to be lies, arguing that when someone is caught lying about one thing, it prompts questions about what else they are lying about. The speaker emphasizes he is not a conspiracist and grew up in a country with low belief in obvious conspiracies, but he asserts that “the amount of lying around January 6” is distressing and that anyone covering for those lies should be ashamed, including portions of the American media and Fox News. He acknowledges Fox News allowed him to air material, for which he expresses gratitude, but notes that some people there were angry at him for doing so and challenges critics to point out cherry-picking or miscontextualization. He clarifies that he did not claim the events were entirely peaceful; police officers were injured, recognizing that injuries occurred in other protests as well. He emphasizes that his point is to ask obvious questions and scrutinize the narrative. He discusses Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, noting that surveillance footage had been hidden until he aired it, showing Capitol Police attempting doors and escorting Chansley into the Senate chamber, where he wandered and offered a prayer thanking the Capitol Police, before leaving. He argues there are many conclusions one could draw from this footage, but asserts that Chansley cannot be called an insurrectionist, labeling that designation a lie. He defines insurrection as a very specific meaning and remains pedantic about words, insisting the incident was not an insurrection, not armed, and not intended to overthrow the government but a “spasm of rage” that Trump helped inspire. Regarding the election, he states he does not support leaders inciting anger, but asserts the event was not an insurrection. He condemns the prosecution of Chansley, a Navy veteran and American citizen, who was imprisoned for years after being let into the Senate chamber by uniformed Capitol Police, and he rejects the portrayal of Chansley as an insurrectionist. He condemns the lack of remorse in those who cover up or excuse what he views as lies, and quotes anger at the idea of imprisoning someone for something he believes was misrepresented.

The speaker discusses how the justice department's goal is to go after President Trump by using convictions from the January 6th cases to invoke section 3 of the 14th amendment. However, there are several reasons why this is not applicable. Firstly, the 14th amendment was written for Confederates in the Civil War and does not apply to modern-day situations. Secondly, the text of the 14th amendment explicitly states that it can only be enforced by Congress, not state courts. Additionally, the amendment does not apply to the presidency itself. It would also create practical issues if local courts were able to enforce it. Furthermore, there is no evidence of an insurrection on January 6th, and this has already been litigated in Congress during the second impeachment trial. Finally, there are First Amendment concerns as the conduct in question relates to political speech.
