Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we're discussing January six. The events of a year
ago are unique, kind of reasonable, middle of the road,
make everybody angry. Take the president. Evidently the lunkhead vice
president was invited to speak, which seems strange since she
has a constituency of no one. Her own husband is
a campaigning behind the scenes for her to be fired.

(00:23):
But so she evidently blathered nonsense, and then the President
got up to speak. Obviously, we're doing this show while
that's happening. But I assume President Biden has on this occasion,
the anniversary of the ugliness in January six, he's taking
the occasion, taking the advantage of it to bring us
together and issue a nonpartisan, patriotic message. Do we have

(00:45):
that clip. We must be absolutely clear about what is
true and what is a lie. And here's the truth.
The former president United States of America has created and
spread a web of lies about the election. He's done

(01:07):
so because he values power over principle, because he sees
his own interest it's more important than his country's interests,
in America's interest, and because it's bruised ego matters more
to him than our democracy or our constitution. Wow, the
guy's been out of office for a year. Boy, that's

(01:28):
an interesting way to handle it. Make it a personal
attack on Trump and make it all about Trump as
opposed to um as I've been talking about this whole
hour continuum that we've been on of not accepting elections
elections and and accepting political violence. And rather than come
out and say we cannot accept political violence, just you know,
broad stroke, this was the worst of it, but we

(01:49):
had been blah blah blah leading up to it, this
that left right attacking Portland, all of it, and uh,
and say we just cannot accept political violence and we
need to start accepting election results unless there's a reason
not to. And rather than say that, make it all
about Trump and the web of lies? What about the
web of lies for four years about the whole Russia
thing in the not real election and Hillary Clinton refusing

(02:11):
to accept the Trump actually won, which he did, or
or Stacy Abrams in Georgia, the myth still lives on
that the election was stolen from her because the left
is so in love with that lie. Those webs, those
webs alles which could lead to violence, also don't matter.
Come how about how about the reasonable according to freaking
everybody voting regulations in Texas and in Georgia which were

(02:34):
characterized as Jim Crow on steroids, where people were lynched
and burned alive for trying to vote. How about that
web lies that encourage violence. If I have an ultimate
point today, it's that neither side seems to have any
interest in arresting the direction we're headed, which is dissolution.

(02:55):
I think, unless we do something before we get there,
unless we wake up and smell the suicide. Lincoln said it.
We can only tear ourselves apart. Nobody else can defeat us,
