The logic behind "99% of LA is not burning" is asinine. So because Ed Kemper or John Wayne Gacy or Charlie Manson or any other serial killers didn't kill 99% of the population, that makes it okay?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The morning to South Dakota. The twelfth is our forty
(00:03):
ninth wedding anniversary. Michael, We're going to be going through
your state of Oklahoma. Is there anything interesting to see?
A long eye forty between Amarillo and Oklahoma City. Everyone,
have a great day.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Let's see I forty between Amorill and see this is
the this is the Michael's tourism section. Uh in Amarillo,
stop at the Big Texan and try to eat the
I forget how big it is, one hundred and twenty ounces,
four hundred ounces. I don't know what it is as
steak and if you can eat it, you get it
for free. Steak baked potato salad. I mean typical, you know,
(00:42):
typical cowboy meal. I've never tried it, but it's a
it's I don't know, just fun thing to do. You
can't miss it. It's on the north side of I forties.
You're going eastbound. And yeah, anyway, when you get to
Oklahoma City, you need to stop at Johnny's Charcoal Burger's
(01:04):
and have a Johnny's Charcoal Burger, preferably be a cheeseburger,
a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Oh Johnny's been around
for one hundred years, so good Eveils have any terrorist
questions today? Hey, Rod, do you got going anywhere you
need some advice about you know, local restaurants or local
(01:24):
scenes or anything that I can help, you know, make
your life a little.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Better from you. No, No, especially not in my next
trip in Vegas. You know I'm the master of Vegas.
I don't need your help.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You know, I actually told my wife that you were
the master of Vegas. I actually I went home and
told her about the conversation because we have we had
written Vegas off because of all the stories I had heard,
and you disavowed me of those stories on them with well,
with a few exceptions. Obviously during formula one you want
(01:56):
to avoid it, and I would suppose the same is
true if there is.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Like, uh, what WrestleMania is another exception?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh, okay, if one WrestleMania? Yes, what about if the
any of the teams are.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Playing, haven't been an issue? Oh you've been there with
the teams are playing, that hasn't been an issue.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I've been there for a significant term of days. I
would assume over those days teams would be playing.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No issue.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, issues okay, no problem. Well, and I know I
told her some of the details about where you were staying.
I would give out your reservation number in the room
number at the resort. You're saying, yes, but I'm afraid
that somebody, I mean, I would never do it, you know,
cal and just cancel your reservation.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You know are the goober's that goubrie?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well, there are some that you know, the the audience
kind of reflects the talent and not.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
That the answer is yes, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, a
resounding yes.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
A resounding yes. So there's there's there's the tour guide
information for the morning. We're gonna bounce around quite a
bit today. I don't know that there's a theme for today,
except maybe it's this we're just being lied to all
the time. And the lie, I mean, Eliza liesa lie right,
(03:22):
howneys this dress make my butt look big? Well it
probably does, but you're never gonna say that. Or how
are you today? You don't really care? I mean, you know,
Dragon and a Rod come in here and they're always like,
you know, good morning, how are you. I'm like, you
really don't care. You just don't care. And then there
(03:44):
are the lies about we know what you're seeing on television,
but it's I've got one SoundBite which I'll try to
get to. But what you saw was an hour ago,
so so but what you say an hour ago or
what you're watching right now that was an hour ago,
(04:05):
then you should ignore what happened an hour ago, or
or I love this one. Ninety nine of LA is
not burning. Okay, Well, Kemper the serial killer or John
Wayne Gacy or Charlie Manson or any of the.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Other serial killers. They didn't kill ninety.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Nine percent of the population, maybe not even one percent,
but what they did do was pretty bad. But you know,
just because they didn't kill everybody, then I don't know
why you're running around calling a serial killer because if
they were serial killers, they would eventually gotten everybody.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So they got caught I just as I as I.
And it's not just trust me.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's not just Los Angeles, although Los Angeles seems to
be the NEXTUS that kind of runs through.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
All of these stories.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But one thing we're going to do is we're going
to go back in time because there were there were
a couple of soundbites that I, as I listened to them,
I thought to myself really, because they're all upset about
what the National Guard. Here's a former Capitol Police officer.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He's on.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think I think this guy's name is done. I
don't really, it doesn't make any difference, but he is
on the last word with Oh Lawrence o'donald, the self
avowed socialist Marxist over at ms NBC.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Crazy. But they are in the name of Donald Trump. Uh,
let's let's go back to twenty sixteen. In those elections
and a lot of people of Donald Donald Trump has
always said if you see these protesters, knock the hell
out of them, and we'll pay your legal expenses. This
isn't something new that Donald Trump is doing. He's always
been in favor of violence as long as it occurs
(06:05):
in his name.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, I'm not really sure that, and I don't advocate violence.
And I know there are consequences to self defense, which
is a shame, but nonetheless there are consequences to self defense.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But if I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Driving down you know, Hollywood Boulevard, or I'm in Compton,
which I'm not quite sure why i would be in Compton,
or I'm in Five Points, I don't care wherever it
might be, and I'm just trying to get from point
A to point B, or I'm trying to get to
a meeting, or I'm trying to get to work, or
I'm trying to do whatever, and there are protests going on,
(06:44):
and so I get stopped in the middle of the
street or the highway, and you come and throw a
cinderblock through my windshield, I'm probably gonna shoot you, because,
as we know, in Colorado, we've had people since to
prison for throwing rocks through wind shields for attempted murder.
(07:06):
So when you throw a cinder block through my wind shield,
that's attempted murder. And I have a right to defend
my life, and I have a reasonable fear for my life,
if you you know, everybody keep saying, well this is
These are not the rights in nineteen ninety two. Okay,
well maybe they're not. These are the rights of twenty
twenty five. Why are we comparing the riots or riots
(07:30):
or riots? A riot and riot's a riot, whether it's
one square mile or twenty square miles or one hundred
square miles, the riot is a riot.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But this yahoo.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Is going He's always been in favor of violence as
long as it occurs in his name.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm not asking you to commit violence in my name.
But you know, we do taxpayer relief shots on Friday
primarily because we believe in the god given right of
self defense and that we we are bastardizing and minimizing
the concept of self defense to the point where if you,
(08:09):
as I said, there are consequences now to defending yourself
even if you are legally in the right, and the
district attorney, the prosecutor looks at your case and says, no,
this was a clearer case of self defense. We are
not going to prosecute. Nevertheless, the dead thugs family is
probably going to sue you for wrongful death.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
And now you're.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Involved in a civil lawsuit. But I'd rather be I'd
rather be involved in a civil lawsuit than be the
ashes in the urn at the funeral. So you know,
those are the choices.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Govern Newson Tonight, in his statement made it very clear
he fully supports the police arresting the people who were
involved in a couple of cars.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Being set on fire.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
They were driven, So a couple of cars being set
on fire, hull Uh, you know, not all these cars
that have been set on fire. In fact, I'm not
quite sure. I've seen maybe a few that are appear
to be, you know, the the tip car, the cop cars,
because they're the typical you know, they're the Buick Sedans
(09:18):
or whatever, they're the patrol cars. But most of the
cars that I've seen burning have been privately.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Owned driverless cars that they have in less times.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh yeah, oh the waymos the waymos I forget about
the waymos So's the self driving uh taxis the self
driving ubers, whatever you want to call them. But the
waymos you know, they're they're all over California, they're they're
burning those. Is that okay because they're driverless?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Weimo the company owns those, They invested in the technology
and the research and development. They've deployed them. That's how
they make money. That is their business. Their business, as
opposed to being a storefront in a strip mall. Their
business is that automobile that's driving people from point A
to point B. Just because it's driver list, does that
(10:11):
make it okay to burn it?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Angels as driverless taxis that we see them around Los
Angeles and the government completely obviously opposed to that, and
that the lapp.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh he's opposed to that. Okay, then why did you
and the mayor Karen Bass allow it to continue to happen?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Indeed, it was fully capable of handling that.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He was fully capable of handling it, being fully capable
of doing something and actually doing something or two different things,
and doing something when it needs to be done, versus
doing something that you procrastinate about. And we could, Dell
(11:03):
I could do four hours on just a procrastination. Why
do you think he may have procrastinated? Could it possibly
be because he actually supports what they're doing? Does Karen
Bass the mayor, actually want this to occur? I'll offer you,
(11:24):
from my notes later on the program, my theory that
they absolutely do.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
They absolutely were capable of that.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
And like you pointed out earlier in this program that
the amount of people that were being arrested, the amount
of people that were protesting, could have easily been it
not could have it was easily handled by the Los
Angeles Police Department, and just it just goes back to show.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
The hip hop.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Wait a minute, it was easily handled by the Los
Angeles Police Department. How many stories did we have or
how many stories did we see? Oh, I'm sorry to
those I forgot those stories were from video that was
shown yesterday or maybe the day before, or that they
were shown on Saturday or Sunday when all of this
(12:15):
bull crap started. So because it's in the past, we
should ignore it. And why the delay in responding. It's
kind of like in Denver nine one one, what's your emergency? Well,
my car has been stolen and I've reported it stolen
(12:37):
and the police department has a police report about the
stolen vehicle. I'm basing this on a true story that
one of you have told me, and we know where
the vehicle is. There is a tracker on it. It
is parked at forty six ninety five South Monaco Street, Denver, Colorado,
eight two three seven right now, in the front parking
(12:59):
lot of that building. And it's sitting right there right now. Okay, well,
then go get it. Uh, but it's stolen, and I'll
need a police report that you've recovered it. And what
if it's damage, I'll need a police report. Well, just
go get it and then just you know, go online
and felt you know, they don't want to get involved.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Occy of not only Donald Trump but his supporters and
his mouthpieces in Congress and the Senate, and you know
individuals like Tommy Tuberville and just those individuals that are
calling for their arrest of Gavin.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
This is another one that I absolutely love Gavin Newsom
if he violates the law, if he remember yesterday we
talked about the intentionality that if you intentionally with you
malice a forethought, if you have the men's ray, you
(13:58):
have the you have the state of mind that you're
going to materially assist someone in violating the immigration laws
of this country, that that is a violation of Title eight,
Section thirteen twenty four. Remember that conversation we had yesterday.
If you don't want an chp chop, wake up. If
(14:20):
Gavin Newsom does that, then he is a law breaker.
He is an alleged criminal, and he should be arrested.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't want Trump to arrest Gavin Newsom. In fact,
I don't want Trump to arrest Gavin Newsom even if
he is well. It depends on the extent we've got
degrees of activity here.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
If he's doing things.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That are pretty kind of minor, I don't want him
arrested because Gavin Newsom wants to be arrested. Gavin Newsom
wants the mug shot. He saw what the Trump mug
shot did, and he thinks that with his koift hair,
(15:12):
with all of the grease in it, all slicked back,
that somehow he can present this kind of mug shot
that Donald Trump presented, and somehow that's going to springboard him,
and it very well could spring board him to the
nomination for the Democrat Party to run for president in
twenty twenty eight. You'll get him the nomination, won't get
him the election, but he's too stupid to understand that.
(15:34):
But he wants the mug shot. He wants the arrest,
which is why I would advise the President and Tom
Homan do everything you can to avoid arresting Gavin Newsom, or,
for that matter, Karen Bass, although really nobody gives a
rattest about Karen Bass.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Donald Trump, we begged you for help on January the sixth.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh, here we go, all right, Donald Trump, we begged
you for a help on January sixth. Gosh, that was
twenty it's been four and a half years ago.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And it didn't happen. The help didn't come when we
asked you for it. Now you have a state that's
not asking for it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
All right, So that really that little comment right there
from a member of the United States former member of
the United States Capitol Police Force, really set me off.
And I think you deserve to understand that, you know what.
Let's go through the timeline of events. I know, but
(16:35):
this is a great history lesson because this is an
example of how January sixth has been so bastardized that
nobody really knows the truth. Let's go back to the
summer of twenty twenty Yeah, summer of twenty twenty five
years ago, before January six Jamie Fleet, who was the
(16:59):
Democratic staff are for then Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi and the Committee on House Administration, which was chaired
at the time by a Congressman by the name of
Zoe Laughman, who was later appointed to the January sixth
committee by Pelosi. They had a team of counselors. By counselors,
(17:19):
I mean lawyers. They were working in anticipation of the
coming debates and objections from the states including Arizona, Pennsylvania,
and Georgia about the electoral college certification vote. And they
knew at the time that objections would likely be raised
on January sixth, so that team from Nancy Pelosi's staff
(17:44):
and the Committee on House Administration began contingency planning for
what to prepare for the possibility that the electoral proceedings
that January would not be traditional. Specifically in June of
twenty twenty, that's after the June first photo op in
(18:06):
Lafayette Square during the BLM riots in Washington. It was
after that photo op that the then Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milly, contemplator resigning. He
was sitting in his Pentagon office and he wrote several
drafts of a letter of resignation. He thought advice from
(18:27):
a bunch of different people, different Congressmen, former chairmans of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, former officials with my old
boss Bob Gates, the former Secretary of Defense, and the
CIA chief, and most agreed with Gates's advice, which was
make them fire. You do not resign. After Lafayette Square.
(18:47):
Guess what happened, born, Mike.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
These people keep talking about how we're going to be
on the wrong side of history for supporting deportations in
the last five years. Have these people have been on
the right side of history ever?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No, not at all, And in fact, that's why that's
why I think this will continue to get worse and
worse throughout Trump's administration. Immigration as it is in Europe
and many countries all over the world is the flashpoint
because even some European countries, even some of the Nordic countries,
(19:29):
are beginning to understand just how detrimental this is to
their society. So let's go back. So here's this US
Capitol Police officer claiming on cable television that they ask
for the National Guard. And the reason I want to
go through this timeline is because what Trump's doing with
(19:51):
the National Guard in California. While I may have some
nuanced things that I think he should not with the
National Guard, which we'll get into later in the program, nonetheless,
in terms of the Constitution and the statutes, he is
absolutely within his right to do so. But throwing in
(20:13):
January sixth, I mean, here we are, as I said,
we're five years after that, and they're still using January
six as some the boogeyman about how Trump is lawless
or an authoritarian. And here's this Capitol Police officer again,
(20:36):
just bald face, lying on television and unchallenged by Lawrence
ol Donald, which is not surprising to.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Me in the least.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
But nonetheless, I can't let that go unchallenged because I'm
sick and tired of them using it as their cudgel,
and I'm sick and tired of them lying about it,
and I want you to have the facts. So, as
I told you, in the summer of twenty twenty, Nancy
Pelosi's team started planning for the day that the Electoral
College was going to meet and count the votes, and
(21:09):
they knew they might have some problems as early as
the summer before January sixth. And then Trump made that
march the BLM riots, they tried to burn the Episcopal
Church in Lafayette Square. Trump goes over there, and I
disagreed with the photo op, but nonetheless he did it.
(21:29):
He held the Bible up, took a picture of Blah
blah blah. General Milly gets upset about it and thinks
about resigning, and then finally decides, you know, effort, I'm
going to make them fire me. So General Milly stood
up a crisis management team, and that crisis management team
was to monitor domestic unrest, and he outlined to his
(21:51):
staff four phases, and he says this quote, so I said,
this is from his testimony, so I said, and this
is from June. So I said. Phase one is now
through the election. Phase two is the election out through
the certification, which was known. It was a known date
the six So from the election to the certification. Phase three,
(22:13):
I said, was certification to the inauguration, and phase four
was the inauguration plus one hundred days. Every single morning
General Millie's. At General Millie's direction, he and his staff
began tracking civil disturbances in this country, focusing on events
and incidents involving groups like the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers.
And Milly explained his testimony quote, when I say tracking,
(22:36):
I had to joint staff report set up assistem of
reporting in the morning every morning at our seven thirty meeting.
The reports from every morning, and it's June, July, August, September, October,
all the way through. They had liaison offers with the
liaison officers with the FBI in the FBI building in
the Hoover Building. He says, I think we called it
(22:57):
domestic unrest as a general thing, and we just worked
with the FBI and the local cops and we made
sure that we kept track of it, and we stood
up a team to make sure that we the Joint
Chiefs and I had situational awareness, just like we have overseas.
Millie had his joint staff historian conduct and in depth
(23:18):
research on the use of the Insurrection Act. He wanted
to know everything about it, going all the way back
to eighteen o seven or whatever year it started. He says,
he wanted all the historical examples laid out, every single
one of them in detail. The historian would walk me
(23:39):
through it, which means that they walked through the use
of it by Thomas Jefferson. They walked through it by
and I'm talking about the deployment of the National Gardens,
specific of Thomas Jefferson, of Barack Obama, of Lyndon Johnson,
of John F. Kennedy, of Richard Nixon, of everybody that
used the National Guard. So they knew what the authorities were.
(24:05):
So that's through the summer. Now let's go from the
fall of twenty twenty through December, so this takes us
through the election. His crisis team is tracking all this
domestic activity as civil unrest. On December twenty ninth, that
group from Nancy Pelosi's office that I told you about.
(24:28):
There was a meeting between that team and the Biden
Harris election committee that addressed potential scenarios where they flagged
that Vice President Pence might go sideways, meaning he might
actually not follow the formal procedure. At that time, Senator
(24:51):
Josh Hawley made a statement that he would object to
the certification process. So they know on December twenty nine,
what's that seven day, eight days before January sixth, they
know that they have a potential for things not going
as planned on January six In late December, more than
(25:13):
one hundred and forty Republicans in the House of Representatives,
two thirds of the Republican members were preparing to contest
the election results on January sixth, and Josh Holly, the
senator was from Missouri, was the first to announce his
plan to vote against the electoral College enforce a debate.
So Millie says, I was not alone. We were all
(25:35):
concerned about what Trump might try and whether he might
try to use the powers of the FBI, the CIA,
and especially the military to try to stay in the office.
This is this is how absolutely paranoid they were. They
knew they feared something coming December thirty first, the end
(25:56):
of the year, the District of Columns Homeland Security and
Emergency Management Agency, I.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Know them well.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Their director and the Mayor of d C, Muriel Bowser,
officially requested d C National Guard support on January sixth.
The request was sent to Major General William Walker, who's
that he's the commanding General of the DC National Guard,
seeking support from the DC Metropolitan the police Department. They
(26:27):
went a thirty designated traffic posts and six crowd management
teams at specified metro subway stations.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
All right, so now.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
We know that they sent a request to the DC
National Guard on December thirty first. Now go to January second.
Four days out, the acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller,
conferred with General Milly and the Secretary of the Army
on the mayor's written request for the National Guard. That's
(26:59):
on January two. What happens on January third, let's walk
through the timeline. Nine twenty four in the morning, the
Chief of the Capitol Police made his first request for
the National Guard to the House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving.
I've told you before, Paul Irving was a personal friend
of mine. He got railroaded in this deal. The Sergeant
(27:20):
at Arms, Paul Irving, told the chief of Police, the
Capitol Police chief, that he doesn't like the optics of that,
and so he directed Son to consult with the Senate
Sergeant at Arms and afterwards, Irving immediately called the Senate
Sergeant at Arms to advise him of the requests for
the National Guard, insisting that they come up with a plan.
(27:44):
Irving told Stinger that he will never get this by
Pelosi using the National Guard. That's at nine twenty four
in the morning. On January third, just before noon at
eleven fifty three am, the Capitol Police Chief brought the
National Guard request to the Senate Sergeant at Arms. He
(28:07):
asked that the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate asked
the Capitol Police chief if he could unofficially inquire with
the DC commander of the National Guard about what assistance
the National Guard could provide if they were needed. On
January sixth, about noon, About seven minutes later, the Chief
(28:29):
of the Capitol Police met with the head of the
Protected Services Bureau at the US Capitol Police headquarters. They
advised the Senate Sergeant at Arms that he had received
a call from Carol Corban, program director of the Department
of Defense, who wanted to know if they would be
requesting the National Guard. After having his request denied by
(28:53):
Irving and Stinger. They both denied the request of the
National Guard. They then asked Gallagher to tell Corbin, now,
remember Corbyn is the guy who is the head of
this group. Thank you, but at this time we will
not be requesting the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Let's go it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Later in the day, Son, the Capitol Police Chief contacts
the Sergeant of Arms of both the House and the
Senate again and told them about the call from Corbyn
and the inquiry from the DoD And again the Capitol
Police Chief said that based on their instructions to him,
he asked Gallagher to inform Corbyn that the US Capitol
(29:32):
Police would not be requesting the National Guard, and reiterated
that he was still planning to call Walker that evening
to advise him of the outcome. So let's fast forward
then to five point thirty that evening, there was a
meeting with President Trump at the White House about Iran.
General Milly was there along with the Secretary of State
and the Acting Secretary of Defense. In his interview with
(29:57):
the January sixth Select Committee. This chief the General Milly,
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he believed.
The White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Department
of Defense Chief Cash Patel, and White House Council also
attended the meeting.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Trump told them during this meeting.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Look, there's going to be a large amount of protesters
here on the six Make sure that you have sufficient
National Guard or soldiers to make sure this is a
safe event. Trump then said, quote, I don't care if
you use guard or soldiers, active duty soldiers. Do whatever
you have to do. Just make sure it's safe. That
(30:43):
was a meeting at five point thirty. At six point
fifteen pm, the Capitol Police Chief called Walker to ask
what assistance the National Guard could provide if they were needed.
On January sixth. The Capitol Police Chief told Walker that
he did not have an approved declaration of emergency from
(31:04):
the Capitol Police Board in order to make the request,
so he was told to just unofficially inquire so that
he could lean forward and be be prepared for a
request if the board ever officially requested. The officially requested
the National Guard. Now, who heads the Capitol Police Board,
(31:27):
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They were refusing to put
in a formal request for the National Guard. So now
go to January fourth. The Capitol Police they confirmed on
January fourth that there was no requirement for Defense Department
support when they called DoD. So from January third to
(31:57):
January fourth, we find out that Trump has said, get
the Guard ready, get everybody ready, will deploy them. They waited.
The Capitol Police Board said no. Capitol Police confirmed that
there was no requirement for Defense Department support. In other words,
(32:20):
they confirmed to those in authority in the chain of command,
we're not going to need you. January five, Secretary McCarthy
issued a January five memo to Walker placing unprecedented restrictions
that stripped the commander of the DC Guard of his
authority to deploy the DC National Guard Quick Reaction Force
(32:43):
without explicit personal approval from the Secretary General. Millie was
actively involved in advising Secretary McCarthy on the January fifth memo,
line by line, going through this lining it out editing
stuff like that in this memo. Then Mayor Bowser January five,
issued a letter to the Acting Attorney General to Secretary
(33:07):
Miller and to Secretary McCarthy, confirming there was no additional
DC Guard support requirements. Before ten am, the Key of
the Capitol Police advised Paul R. Irving, the Sergeant at Arms,
of his conversation with Walker, telling him that Walker had
assured him the commander of the National Guard, that they
(33:30):
would be prepared to repurpose one hundred and twenty five
troops and send them, but only if the Secretary of
Defense notified the Secretary of the Army McCarthy. The Capitol
Police would need to send somebody over to the Army
to swear them to swear the men. Irving seemed satisfied,
thanked the Capitol Police chief for following up with Walker.
(33:50):
I'm way behind here. At ten am, there was a briefing.
They were told the guard was only a phone call away.
If they need them, They're ready to go. Speaker Pelosi
had a conversation with Paul Irving later that day on
the fifth, you will not request the guard real quickly.
(34:15):
When we get back from the break. I want to
go through because at two twenty pm on January six
is when Nancy Pelosi evacuates her office, and on the
way out she asks have they deployed the National Guard.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Now, remember she has said no all along.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Now that she's running away from the building, she wants
to know where the guard is and the staffer says, yes,
they have. The problem is the staffer doesn't have the details,
and the answer actually is no, they have not because
there's a series of events after Pelosi evacuates the building
in which they're trying to get the authority to deploy
(34:55):
the Guard, and it's nothing but a giant cluster, f
a total cluster because they can't get people on the phone,
they can't get text messages. Somebody sitting on hold the
entire time. Meanwhile, Paul Irving, my friend, is getting scapegoats
for all of this because the Capitol Police Board would
(35:16):
not approved the Guard
The morning to South Dakota. The twelfth is our forty
(00:03):
ninth wedding anniversary. Michael, We're going to be going through
your state of Oklahoma. Is there anything interesting to see?
A long eye forty between Amarillo and Oklahoma City. Everyone,
have a great day.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Let's see I forty between Amorill and see this is
the this is the Michael's tourism section. Uh in Amarillo,
stop at the Big Texan and try to eat the
I forget how big it is, one hundred and twenty ounces,
four hundred ounces. I don't know what it is as
steak and if you can eat it, you get it
for free. Steak baked potato salad. I mean typical, you know,
(00:42):
typical cowboy meal. I've never tried it, but it's a
it's I don't know, just fun thing to do. You
can't miss it. It's on the north side of I forties.
You're going eastbound. And yeah, anyway, when you get to
Oklahoma City, you need to stop at Johnny's Charcoal Burger's
(01:04):
and have a Johnny's Charcoal Burger, preferably be a cheeseburger,
a bacon cheeseburger and onion rings. Oh Johnny's been around
for one hundred years, so good Eveils have any terrorist
questions today? Hey, Rod, do you got going anywhere you
need some advice about you know, local restaurants or local
(01:24):
scenes or anything that I can help, you know, make
your life a little.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Better from you. No, No, especially not in my next
trip in Vegas. You know I'm the master of Vegas.
I don't need your help.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You know, I actually told my wife that you were
the master of Vegas. I actually I went home and
told her about the conversation because we have we had
written Vegas off because of all the stories I had heard,
and you disavowed me of those stories on them with well,
with a few exceptions. Obviously during formula one you want
(01:56):
to avoid it, and I would suppose the same is
true if there is.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Like, uh, what WrestleMania is another exception?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh, okay, if one WrestleMania? Yes, what about if the
any of the teams are.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Playing, haven't been an issue? Oh you've been there with
the teams are playing, that hasn't been an issue.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I've been there for a significant term of days. I
would assume over those days teams would be playing.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No issue.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, issues okay, no problem. Well, and I know I
told her some of the details about where you were staying.
I would give out your reservation number in the room
number at the resort. You're saying, yes, but I'm afraid
that somebody, I mean, I would never do it, you know,
cal and just cancel your reservation.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Mmm.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You know are the goober's that goubrie?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Well, there are some that you know, the the audience
kind of reflects the talent and not.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
That the answer is yes, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, a
resounding yes.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
A resounding yes. So there's there's there's the tour guide
information for the morning. We're gonna bounce around quite a
bit today. I don't know that there's a theme for today,
except maybe it's this we're just being lied to all
the time. And the lie, I mean, Eliza liesa lie right,
(03:22):
howneys this dress make my butt look big? Well it
probably does, but you're never gonna say that. Or how
are you today? You don't really care? I mean, you know,
Dragon and a Rod come in here and they're always like,
you know, good morning, how are you. I'm like, you
really don't care. You just don't care. And then there
(03:44):
are the lies about we know what you're seeing on television,
but it's I've got one SoundBite which I'll try to
get to. But what you saw was an hour ago,
so so but what you say an hour ago or
what you're watching right now that was an hour ago,
(04:05):
then you should ignore what happened an hour ago, or
or I love this one. Ninety nine of LA is
not burning. Okay, Well, Kemper the serial killer or John
Wayne Gacy or Charlie Manson or any of the.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Other serial killers. They didn't kill ninety.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Nine percent of the population, maybe not even one percent,
but what they did do was pretty bad. But you know,
just because they didn't kill everybody, then I don't know
why you're running around calling a serial killer because if
they were serial killers, they would eventually gotten everybody.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
So they got caught I just as I as I.
And it's not just trust me.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's not just Los Angeles, although Los Angeles seems to
be the NEXTUS that kind of runs through.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
All of these stories.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
But one thing we're going to do is we're going
to go back in time because there were there were
a couple of soundbites that I, as I listened to them,
I thought to myself really, because they're all upset about
what the National Guard. Here's a former Capitol Police officer.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He's on.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I think I think this guy's name is done. I
don't really, it doesn't make any difference, but he is
on the last word with Oh Lawrence o'donald, the self
avowed socialist Marxist over at ms NBC.
Speaker 5 (05:43):
Crazy. But they are in the name of Donald Trump. Uh,
let's let's go back to twenty sixteen. In those elections
and a lot of people of Donald Donald Trump has
always said if you see these protesters, knock the hell
out of them, and we'll pay your legal expenses. This
isn't something new that Donald Trump is doing. He's always
been in favor of violence as long as it occurs
(06:05):
in his name.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Well, I'm not really sure that, and I don't advocate violence.
And I know there are consequences to self defense, which
is a shame, but nonetheless there are consequences to self defense.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
But if I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Driving down you know, Hollywood Boulevard, or I'm in Compton,
which I'm not quite sure why i would be in Compton,
or I'm in Five Points, I don't care wherever it
might be, and I'm just trying to get from point
A to point B, or I'm trying to get to
a meeting, or I'm trying to get to work, or
I'm trying to do whatever, and there are protests going on,
(06:44):
and so I get stopped in the middle of the
street or the highway, and you come and throw a
cinderblock through my windshield, I'm probably gonna shoot you, because,
as we know, in Colorado, we've had people since to
prison for throwing rocks through wind shields for attempted murder.
(07:06):
So when you throw a cinder block through my wind shield,
that's attempted murder. And I have a right to defend
my life, and I have a reasonable fear for my life,
if you you know, everybody keep saying, well this is
These are not the rights in nineteen ninety two. Okay,
well maybe they're not. These are the rights of twenty
twenty five. Why are we comparing the riots or riots
(07:30):
or riots? A riot and riot's a riot, whether it's
one square mile or twenty square miles or one hundred
square miles, the riot is a riot.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But this yahoo.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Is going He's always been in favor of violence as
long as it occurs in his name.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'm not asking you to commit violence in my name.
But you know, we do taxpayer relief shots on Friday
primarily because we believe in the god given right of
self defense and that we we are bastardizing and minimizing
the concept of self defense to the point where if you,
(08:09):
as I said, there are consequences now to defending yourself
even if you are legally in the right, and the
district attorney, the prosecutor looks at your case and says, no,
this was a clearer case of self defense. We are
not going to prosecute. Nevertheless, the dead thugs family is
probably going to sue you for wrongful death.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
And now you're.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Involved in a civil lawsuit. But I'd rather be I'd
rather be involved in a civil lawsuit than be the
ashes in the urn at the funeral. So you know,
those are the choices.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Govern Newson Tonight, in his statement made it very clear
he fully supports the police arresting the people who were
involved in a couple of cars.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Being set on fire.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
They were driven, So a couple of cars being set
on fire, hull Uh, you know, not all these cars
that have been set on fire. In fact, I'm not
quite sure. I've seen maybe a few that are appear
to be, you know, the the tip car, the cop cars,
because they're the typical you know, they're the Buick Sedans
(09:18):
or whatever, they're the patrol cars. But most of the
cars that I've seen burning have been privately.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
Owned driverless cars that they have in less times.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh yeah, oh the waymos the waymos I forget about
the waymos So's the self driving uh taxis the self
driving ubers, whatever you want to call them. But the
waymos you know, they're they're all over California, they're they're
burning those. Is that okay because they're driverless?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Weimo the company owns those, They invested in the technology
and the research and development. They've deployed them. That's how
they make money. That is their business. Their business, as
opposed to being a storefront in a strip mall. Their
business is that automobile that's driving people from point A
to point B. Just because it's driver list, does that
(10:11):
make it okay to burn it?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Angels as driverless taxis that we see them around Los
Angeles and the government completely obviously opposed to that, and
that the lapp.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Oh he's opposed to that. Okay, then why did you
and the mayor Karen Bass allow it to continue to happen?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Indeed, it was fully capable of handling that.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
He was fully capable of handling it, being fully capable
of doing something and actually doing something or two different things,
and doing something when it needs to be done, versus
doing something that you procrastinate about. And we could, Dell
(11:03):
I could do four hours on just a procrastination. Why
do you think he may have procrastinated? Could it possibly
be because he actually supports what they're doing? Does Karen
Bass the mayor, actually want this to occur? I'll offer you,
(11:24):
from my notes later on the program, my theory that
they absolutely do.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
They absolutely were capable of that.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
And like you pointed out earlier in this program that
the amount of people that were being arrested, the amount
of people that were protesting, could have easily been it
not could have it was easily handled by the Los
Angeles Police Department, and just it just goes back to show.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
The hip hop.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Wait a minute, it was easily handled by the Los
Angeles Police Department. How many stories did we have or
how many stories did we see? Oh, I'm sorry to
those I forgot those stories were from video that was
shown yesterday or maybe the day before, or that they
were shown on Saturday or Sunday when all of this
(12:15):
bull crap started. So because it's in the past, we
should ignore it. And why the delay in responding. It's
kind of like in Denver nine one one, what's your emergency? Well,
my car has been stolen and I've reported it stolen
(12:37):
and the police department has a police report about the
stolen vehicle. I'm basing this on a true story that
one of you have told me, and we know where
the vehicle is. There is a tracker on it. It
is parked at forty six ninety five South Monaco Street, Denver, Colorado,
eight two three seven right now, in the front parking
(12:59):
lot of that building. And it's sitting right there right now. Okay, well,
then go get it. Uh, but it's stolen, and I'll
need a police report that you've recovered it. And what
if it's damage, I'll need a police report. Well, just
go get it and then just you know, go online
and felt you know, they don't want to get involved.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Occy of not only Donald Trump but his supporters and
his mouthpieces in Congress and the Senate, and you know
individuals like Tommy Tuberville and just those individuals that are
calling for their arrest of Gavin.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
This is another one that I absolutely love Gavin Newsom
if he violates the law, if he remember yesterday we
talked about the intentionality that if you intentionally with you
malice a forethought, if you have the men's ray, you
(13:58):
have the you have the state of mind that you're
going to materially assist someone in violating the immigration laws
of this country, that that is a violation of Title eight,
Section thirteen twenty four. Remember that conversation we had yesterday.
If you don't want an chp chop, wake up. If
(14:20):
Gavin Newsom does that, then he is a law breaker.
He is an alleged criminal, and he should be arrested.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I don't want Trump to arrest Gavin Newsom. In fact,
I don't want Trump to arrest Gavin Newsom even if
he is well. It depends on the extent we've got
degrees of activity here.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
If he's doing things.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That are pretty kind of minor, I don't want him
arrested because Gavin Newsom wants to be arrested. Gavin Newsom
wants the mug shot. He saw what the Trump mug
shot did, and he thinks that with his koift hair,
(15:12):
with all of the grease in it, all slicked back,
that somehow he can present this kind of mug shot
that Donald Trump presented, and somehow that's going to springboard him,
and it very well could spring board him to the
nomination for the Democrat Party to run for president in
twenty twenty eight. You'll get him the nomination, won't get
him the election, but he's too stupid to understand that.
(15:34):
But he wants the mug shot. He wants the arrest,
which is why I would advise the President and Tom
Homan do everything you can to avoid arresting Gavin Newsom, or,
for that matter, Karen Bass, although really nobody gives a
rattest about Karen Bass.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Donald Trump, we begged you for help on January the sixth.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Oh, here we go, all right, Donald Trump, we begged
you for a help on January sixth. Gosh, that was
twenty it's been four and a half years ago.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And it didn't happen. The help didn't come when we
asked you for it. Now you have a state that's
not asking for it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
All right, So that really that little comment right there
from a member of the United States former member of
the United States Capitol Police Force, really set me off.
And I think you deserve to understand that, you know what.
Let's go through the timeline of events. I know, but
(16:35):
this is a great history lesson because this is an
example of how January sixth has been so bastardized that
nobody really knows the truth. Let's go back to the
summer of twenty twenty Yeah, summer of twenty twenty five
years ago, before January six Jamie Fleet, who was the
(16:59):
Democratic staff are for then Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi and the Committee on House Administration, which was chaired
at the time by a Congressman by the name of
Zoe Laughman, who was later appointed to the January sixth
committee by Pelosi. They had a team of counselors. By counselors,
(17:19):
I mean lawyers. They were working in anticipation of the
coming debates and objections from the states including Arizona, Pennsylvania,
and Georgia about the electoral college certification vote. And they
knew at the time that objections would likely be raised
on January sixth, so that team from Nancy Pelosi's staff
(17:44):
and the Committee on House Administration began contingency planning for
what to prepare for the possibility that the electoral proceedings
that January would not be traditional. Specifically in June of
twenty twenty, that's after the June first photo op in
(18:06):
Lafayette Square during the BLM riots in Washington. It was
after that photo op that the then Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milly, contemplator resigning. He
was sitting in his Pentagon office and he wrote several
drafts of a letter of resignation. He thought advice from
(18:27):
a bunch of different people, different Congressmen, former chairmans of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, former officials with my old
boss Bob Gates, the former Secretary of Defense, and the
CIA chief, and most agreed with Gates's advice, which was
make them fire. You do not resign. After Lafayette Square.
(18:47):
Guess what happened, born, Mike.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
These people keep talking about how we're going to be
on the wrong side of history for supporting deportations in
the last five years. Have these people have been on
the right side of history ever?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
No, not at all, And in fact, that's why that's
why I think this will continue to get worse and
worse throughout Trump's administration. Immigration as it is in Europe
and many countries all over the world is the flashpoint
because even some European countries, even some of the Nordic countries,
(19:29):
are beginning to understand just how detrimental this is to
their society. So let's go back. So here's this US
Capitol Police officer claiming on cable television that they ask
for the National Guard. And the reason I want to
go through this timeline is because what Trump's doing with
(19:51):
the National Guard in California. While I may have some
nuanced things that I think he should not with the
National Guard, which we'll get into later in the program, nonetheless,
in terms of the Constitution and the statutes, he is
absolutely within his right to do so. But throwing in
(20:13):
January sixth, I mean, here we are, as I said,
we're five years after that, and they're still using January
six as some the boogeyman about how Trump is lawless
or an authoritarian. And here's this Capitol Police officer again,
(20:36):
just bald face, lying on television and unchallenged by Lawrence
ol Donald, which is not surprising to.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Me in the least.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
But nonetheless, I can't let that go unchallenged because I'm
sick and tired of them using it as their cudgel,
and I'm sick and tired of them lying about it,
and I want you to have the facts. So, as
I told you, in the summer of twenty twenty, Nancy
Pelosi's team started planning for the day that the Electoral
College was going to meet and count the votes, and
(21:09):
they knew they might have some problems as early as
the summer before January sixth. And then Trump made that
march the BLM riots, they tried to burn the Episcopal
Church in Lafayette Square. Trump goes over there, and I
disagreed with the photo op, but nonetheless he did it.
(21:29):
He held the Bible up, took a picture of Blah
blah blah. General Milly gets upset about it and thinks
about resigning, and then finally decides, you know, effort, I'm
going to make them fire me. So General Milly stood
up a crisis management team, and that crisis management team
was to monitor domestic unrest, and he outlined to his
(21:51):
staff four phases, and he says this quote, so I said,
this is from his testimony, so I said, and this
is from June. So I said. Phase one is now
through the election. Phase two is the election out through
the certification, which was known. It was a known date
the six So from the election to the certification. Phase three,
(22:13):
I said, was certification to the inauguration, and phase four
was the inauguration plus one hundred days. Every single morning
General Millie's. At General Millie's direction, he and his staff
began tracking civil disturbances in this country, focusing on events
and incidents involving groups like the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers.
And Milly explained his testimony quote, when I say tracking,
(22:36):
I had to joint staff report set up assistem of
reporting in the morning every morning at our seven thirty meeting.
The reports from every morning, and it's June, July, August, September, October,
all the way through. They had liaison offers with the
liaison officers with the FBI in the FBI building in
the Hoover Building. He says, I think we called it
(22:57):
domestic unrest as a general thing, and we just worked
with the FBI and the local cops and we made
sure that we kept track of it, and we stood
up a team to make sure that we the Joint
Chiefs and I had situational awareness, just like we have overseas.
Millie had his joint staff historian conduct and in depth
(23:18):
research on the use of the Insurrection Act. He wanted
to know everything about it, going all the way back
to eighteen o seven or whatever year it started. He says,
he wanted all the historical examples laid out, every single
one of them in detail. The historian would walk me
(23:39):
through it, which means that they walked through the use
of it by Thomas Jefferson. They walked through it by
and I'm talking about the deployment of the National Gardens,
specific of Thomas Jefferson, of Barack Obama, of Lyndon Johnson,
of John F. Kennedy, of Richard Nixon, of everybody that
used the National Guard. So they knew what the authorities were.
(24:05):
So that's through the summer. Now let's go from the
fall of twenty twenty through December, so this takes us
through the election. His crisis team is tracking all this
domestic activity as civil unrest. On December twenty ninth, that
group from Nancy Pelosi's office that I told you about.
(24:28):
There was a meeting between that team and the Biden
Harris election committee that addressed potential scenarios where they flagged
that Vice President Pence might go sideways, meaning he might
actually not follow the formal procedure. At that time, Senator
(24:51):
Josh Hawley made a statement that he would object to
the certification process. So they know on December twenty nine,
what's that seven day, eight days before January sixth, they
know that they have a potential for things not going
as planned on January six In late December, more than
(25:13):
one hundred and forty Republicans in the House of Representatives,
two thirds of the Republican members were preparing to contest
the election results on January sixth, and Josh Holly, the
senator was from Missouri, was the first to announce his
plan to vote against the electoral College enforce a debate.
So Millie says, I was not alone. We were all
(25:35):
concerned about what Trump might try and whether he might
try to use the powers of the FBI, the CIA,
and especially the military to try to stay in the office.
This is this is how absolutely paranoid they were. They
knew they feared something coming December thirty first, the end
(25:56):
of the year, the District of Columns Homeland Security and
Emergency Management Agency, I.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Know them well.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Their director and the Mayor of d C, Muriel Bowser,
officially requested d C National Guard support on January sixth.
The request was sent to Major General William Walker, who's
that he's the commanding General of the DC National Guard,
seeking support from the DC Metropolitan the police Department. They
(26:27):
went a thirty designated traffic posts and six crowd management
teams at specified metro subway stations.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
All right, so now.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
We know that they sent a request to the DC
National Guard on December thirty first. Now go to January second.
Four days out, the acting Secretary of Defense, Chris Miller,
conferred with General Milly and the Secretary of the Army
on the mayor's written request for the National Guard. That's
(26:59):
on January two. What happens on January third, let's walk
through the timeline. Nine twenty four in the morning, the
Chief of the Capitol Police made his first request for
the National Guard to the House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving.
I've told you before, Paul Irving was a personal friend
of mine. He got railroaded in this deal. The Sergeant
(27:20):
at Arms, Paul Irving, told the chief of Police, the
Capitol Police chief, that he doesn't like the optics of that,
and so he directed Son to consult with the Senate
Sergeant at Arms and afterwards, Irving immediately called the Senate
Sergeant at Arms to advise him of the requests for
the National Guard, insisting that they come up with a plan.
(27:44):
Irving told Stinger that he will never get this by
Pelosi using the National Guard. That's at nine twenty four
in the morning. On January third, just before noon at
eleven fifty three am, the Capitol Police Chief brought the
National Guard request to the Senate Sergeant at Arms. He
(28:07):
asked that the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate asked
the Capitol Police chief if he could unofficially inquire with
the DC commander of the National Guard about what assistance
the National Guard could provide if they were needed. On
January sixth, about noon, About seven minutes later, the Chief
(28:29):
of the Capitol Police met with the head of the
Protected Services Bureau at the US Capitol Police headquarters. They
advised the Senate Sergeant at Arms that he had received
a call from Carol Corban, program director of the Department
of Defense, who wanted to know if they would be
requesting the National Guard. After having his request denied by
(28:53):
Irving and Stinger. They both denied the request of the
National Guard. They then asked Gallagher to tell Corbin, now,
remember Corbyn is the guy who is the head of
this group. Thank you, but at this time we will
not be requesting the National Guard.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Let's go it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Later in the day, Son, the Capitol Police Chief contacts
the Sergeant of Arms of both the House and the
Senate again and told them about the call from Corbyn
and the inquiry from the DoD And again the Capitol
Police Chief said that based on their instructions to him,
he asked Gallagher to inform Corbyn that the US Capitol
(29:32):
Police would not be requesting the National Guard, and reiterated
that he was still planning to call Walker that evening
to advise him of the outcome. So let's fast forward
then to five point thirty that evening, there was a
meeting with President Trump at the White House about Iran.
General Milly was there along with the Secretary of State
and the Acting Secretary of Defense. In his interview with
(29:57):
the January sixth Select Committee. This chief the General Milly,
the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he believed.
The White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and Department
of Defense Chief Cash Patel, and White House Council also
attended the meeting.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Trump told them during this meeting.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Look, there's going to be a large amount of protesters
here on the six Make sure that you have sufficient
National Guard or soldiers to make sure this is a
safe event. Trump then said, quote, I don't care if
you use guard or soldiers, active duty soldiers. Do whatever
you have to do. Just make sure it's safe. That
(30:43):
was a meeting at five point thirty. At six point
fifteen pm, the Capitol Police Chief called Walker to ask
what assistance the National Guard could provide if they were needed.
On January sixth. The Capitol Police Chief told Walker that
he did not have an approved declaration of emergency from
(31:04):
the Capitol Police Board in order to make the request,
so he was told to just unofficially inquire so that
he could lean forward and be be prepared for a
request if the board ever officially requested. The officially requested
the National Guard. Now, who heads the Capitol Police Board,
(31:27):
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. They were refusing to put
in a formal request for the National Guard. So now
go to January fourth. The Capitol Police they confirmed on
January fourth that there was no requirement for Defense Department
support when they called DoD. So from January third to
(31:57):
January fourth, we find out that Trump has said, get
the Guard ready, get everybody ready, will deploy them. They waited.
The Capitol Police Board said no. Capitol Police confirmed that
there was no requirement for Defense Department support. In other words,
(32:20):
they confirmed to those in authority in the chain of command,
we're not going to need you. January five, Secretary McCarthy
issued a January five memo to Walker placing unprecedented restrictions
that stripped the commander of the DC Guard of his
authority to deploy the DC National Guard Quick Reaction Force
(32:43):
without explicit personal approval from the Secretary General. Millie was
actively involved in advising Secretary McCarthy on the January fifth memo,
line by line, going through this lining it out editing
stuff like that in this memo. Then Mayor Bowser January five,
issued a letter to the Acting Attorney General to Secretary
(33:07):
Miller and to Secretary McCarthy, confirming there was no additional
DC Guard support requirements. Before ten am, the Key of
the Capitol Police advised Paul R. Irving, the Sergeant at Arms,
of his conversation with Walker, telling him that Walker had
assured him the commander of the National Guard, that they
(33:30):
would be prepared to repurpose one hundred and twenty five
troops and send them, but only if the Secretary of
Defense notified the Secretary of the Army McCarthy. The Capitol
Police would need to send somebody over to the Army
to swear them to swear the men. Irving seemed satisfied,
thanked the Capitol Police chief for following up with Walker.
(33:50):
I'm way behind here. At ten am, there was a briefing.
They were told the guard was only a phone call away.
If they need them, They're ready to go. Speaker Pelosi
had a conversation with Paul Irving later that day on
the fifth, you will not request the guard real quickly.
(34:15):
When we get back from the break. I want to
go through because at two twenty pm on January six
is when Nancy Pelosi evacuates her office, and on the
way out she asks have they deployed the National Guard.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
Now, remember she has said no all along.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Now that she's running away from the building, she wants
to know where the guard is and the staffer says, yes,
they have. The problem is the staffer doesn't have the details,
and the answer actually is no, they have not because
there's a series of events after Pelosi evacuates the building
in which they're trying to get the authority to deploy
(34:55):
the Guard, and it's nothing but a giant cluster, f
a total cluster because they can't get people on the phone,
they can't get text messages. Somebody sitting on hold the
entire time. Meanwhile, Paul Irving, my friend, is getting scapegoats
for all of this because the Capitol Police Board would
(35:16):
not approved the Guard
