On this episode of The Hollywood of the Right, Bogby joins me to discuss the events of January 6th, 2019. Bogby talks about the events that took place that day in Washington, D.C. and the impact it had on the country.
00:02:53.580Oh, I was watching it live, and I think a lot of people were.
00:03:00.220I remember they showed all these trendy bars, like sidewalk bars in D.C. and New York City, and all these wealthy liberals were watching political news from there.
00:03:28.100I was actually teaching at the time, and so I was kind of catching it like a lot of people, like on my phone by bits and pieces.
00:03:38.640And it was really funny because the next day, like the principal ran in and they were like, okay, we don't talk about this because I was teaching history and government.
00:03:47.380They're like, we're not addressing this.
00:03:49.760So it was very, very important that no one acknowledged the news of the day, which is great, you know, that you're a class most likely to address current events.
00:03:58.940We make sure that no one talks about it.
00:04:01.560But I remember at first, no one exactly knew kind of what to make of it because the information we were getting was so controlled, of course.
00:04:09.280You know, we were only getting snapshots, random pieces of footage.
00:04:13.720And as everything came out, you know, the framing was very particular.
00:04:17.140Obviously, we were all hearing about all these deaths that occurred.
00:04:20.440So many officers were losing their lives as these crazy Trump supporters kind of came in and went nuts.
00:04:26.000And then what we've seen slowly but surely is just the unrolling of every piece of this narrative, right?
00:04:32.480Like the, you know, the different footage showing, you know, questionable people calling for entry into the Capitol in the first place.
00:04:40.100What seems like a lot of the officers involved allowing people in.
00:04:44.540Then we find out that many, you know, many of the officers who died and things like that supposedly in this report actually turned out that none of them died due to direct action taken.
00:04:56.960So, you know, some of these people were police suicides tragically.
00:05:00.860One of them was supposed to have sustained injuries during the actual, you know, January 6th events, you know, hit with a fire extinguisher.
00:05:09.900But now we know that wasn't the case either.
00:05:12.180And so it seemed like a lot of the, you know, obviously there was violence done that day.
00:05:16.640There was trespassing and things done that day.
00:05:18.960But the extreme levels that the narrative was taken to just seems to have been slowly peeled away as time goes on.
00:06:07.500Will there be civil unrest for the woman who was executed inside the Capitol today or the MAGA martyr die in vain?
00:06:16.620Because he tweeted that he was, they deleted the pog, they changed poggers symbol to something, to something else and nuked him from the internet.
00:06:30.140It's just a little, a little, something I won't forget.
00:06:33.600Yeah, it's interesting whenever you have these kind of e-celebrities or people from other areas cross into this and they suddenly realize that there's kind of this electric fence aspect to breaking news, right?
00:06:49.600Like, you always want to be really careful when you're talking about very specific events, right?
00:06:54.780Whether it be the pandemic or the J6 narrative, things like that, there are these moments where you're not allowed to really say anything.
00:07:03.360And everybody knows, everybody on the internet, you know, just the magical, you know, cathedral alignment comes up.
00:07:10.280And all of a sudden, all of your censors, all your social media, television news, everybody knows that you need to shut down discussion immediately.
00:07:18.100And any kind of particular discussion will just get you nuked from orbit, no matter how influential you are, even if you're an accredited physician or if you're someone with insider knowledge when it comes to law enforcement or something.
00:07:32.140All of a sudden, you can just be completely blown away, no matter what kind of level of expertise you have.
00:07:37.260And then over time, drips and drabs, we're kind of allowed to admit, well, maybe this thing doesn't work and actually maybe there are some side effects to this thing and maybe we should have been more honest about, you know, the level of risk and assessment.
00:07:52.220And, oh, actually, it turns out that not that many people were hurt during that.
00:07:55.800There's just these narratives that during the event must be protected.
00:08:01.840Anyone who touches them could destroy themselves, could destroy their career.
00:08:06.600And then later, we can kind of come back and admit certain things about the event.
00:08:12.180And it's OK because, you know, the need, the moment, the emergency, the power was secured, the thing that they wanted happened.
00:08:21.200And now it's kind of OK to be like, well, maybe there was a little gray area here and there.
00:08:25.220And so it's always it's always funny when people who otherwise wouldn't really comment on politics or otherwise wouldn't be involved in this would expect that level of censorship.
00:08:54.620He had a little he had a they had a couple like a couple of shows going and stuff like that.
00:09:00.160And he was just a norminary person that saw someone as his and were to be executed that day.
00:09:06.300And I don't think he realized what the that this is someone that wasn't sort of doing the dance of politics.
00:09:12.860Now, if you the people now going to the people in politics, what the what we got from that day, I mean, so, by the way, there's still over more than 400 people in prison, according to Time magazine.
00:09:27.580I don't know how long I don't know how old that figure is, but over a thousand were charged or were held.
00:09:34.260I don't know how many were charged, but 400 people are still in prison there.
00:09:38.200These are these are heroes and and it there what we need to get these people out, not just the the guy in the buffalo hat, but what these people did for us.
00:09:50.400I mean, they showed us they showed us a lot.
00:09:54.280They showed us that much of the Republican Party are fakes and that they listen to that.
00:10:00.680There's a different government that we we learned about that on that day.
00:10:05.460I mean, a lot of people have talked about it, but it's different to see it.
00:10:08.200It's different to have these people like.
00:10:11.240Ted Cruz and others that there's another authority in the room that was obvious that wasn't their voters, you know what I'm saying?
00:10:21.780You and you'll see this repeatedly how important it was to kind of co-sign their specific narratives early on.
00:10:28.900And even at this point, very few people have been willing to kind of speak up in defense of of the protesters or what happened here.
00:10:37.740That's kind of why Tucker Carlson has been such a flashpoint during this is not only has he been willing repeatedly to come out and say this has this has been overblown.
00:11:22.360And we're going to go ahead and take a look at that footage here in a minute and how it connects to Elon Musk and why that matters.
00:11:27.820But before we do that, guys, I'm going to go ahead and tell you about our sponsor for today's episode.
00:11:32.460Hey, guys, this episode is brought to you by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.
00:11:37.580The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is a conservative nonprofit dedicated to educating the next great American.
00:11:43.960ISI understands that conservatives and right of center students feel isolated on college campuses and compelled to defend their reputation and dignity while seeking to carve out a brighter future.
00:11:54.140ISI has a variety of different content, events, internships, and fellowships geared towards helping students and opening up career opportunities.
00:12:03.760ISI offers graduate students and entry-level journalists the opportunity to receive fellowships and secure internships.
00:12:10.540Nate Hockman, who's been a guest on this show multiple times, got his start at National Review through ISI.
00:12:16.180And he's just one of many journalists and academics who were able to start their careers with the help of ISI.
00:12:21.560This spring, ISI is going to be hosting a debate between Michael Knowles and Deidre McCloskey on the subject of transgenderism, and it will be live-streamed on YouTube.
00:12:31.700And in the fall, everyone's favorite Fox News host, Tucker Carlson, will be giving the keynote address at ISI's annual gala.
00:12:38.960On all issues, both economic and cultural, ISI wants their students to know that they aren't shying away from the problems facing our country,
00:12:46.420because letting the left win is a pathetic way to watch civilization die.
00:12:51.560To learn more, check out ISI.org. That's ISI.org.
00:12:56.360You can also follow the link down below in the description of the video.
00:13:01.980So let's go ahead and take a look at some of this footage that Elon Musk was referring to when he was talking about the events of January 6th
00:13:11.200and why he eventually ended up calling for Jacob Chansley's release.
00:13:15.560Now, you can go ahead and see the tweets in question there.
00:15:08.420I mean, I don't know if the people listening have ever sort of interacted with police officers in, you know, in the wild or, you know, I used to go to spring break or something.
00:15:19.320And you have these sort of interactions with police and it's never, I mean, it's never this casual and certainly not.
00:15:26.980I mean, especially there, you know, it's like whenever you're interacting with police officers, police officers generally, they're very wary of you.
00:15:34.660They're going to what's, you know, let's see your hands.
00:15:38.580And what's in the backpack, by the way, I don't know.
00:15:42.200Everybody is just, everybody seems very, very familiar with each other or, or I don't know.
00:15:49.040I mean, it's, that's just, that just strikes me as very strange, just how casual everybody was about this.
00:15:55.540Yeah, I'm with you whenever, I mean, even when you end up going to, you know, you get in a traffic stop or something.
00:16:01.840If you got your hand in the wrong place, right, if you're, if you're hesitant about something looking the wrong way, all of a sudden the police officer wants you out of the car because they're worried that you might have something, you might be hiding something.
00:16:14.120It's never, it's never a casual stroll or interaction with police officers for the most part, even in very low stress situations.
00:16:24.400And they do seem very, very unconcerned about what's happening in this particular scenario.
00:16:29.520Now, obviously, this is one guy in this, in this hallway.
00:16:34.020It's very different when you have a large amount of people crushing in on you.
00:16:37.560You know, all, all of the great revolutions of history start with a crowd was pushing towards a group of armed guys and then someone got spooked, right?
00:16:45.860So there is something to be said about, you know, one guy versus a large crowd, a crush of people kind of pushing forward.
00:16:53.120But still, when you see this kind of footage and you see the, you know, as Elon Musk pointed out there, this guy got four years in jail and, you know, radical Soros DAs are letting people out on attempt, you know, with attempted murder stuff, you know, just, you know, all the time.
00:17:21.960But I want to float another theory to you that I've heard that I think is somewhat reasonable here, right?
00:17:27.600Which is, look, basically the Capitol Police were told to stand down.
00:17:32.520They were told that we're just, you know, much like the BLM riots, we're just not going to physically stop people here.
00:17:40.380And obviously the Ashley Babbitt scenario pretty much undermines this.
00:17:44.560But a lot of people have said, okay, what happened here is basically these people were told to stand down and they're told just don't mess with him.
00:17:53.880Like just, you know, basically make sure they're safe, make sure they don't break anything and kind of, you know, shuffle them out there as quickly as possible.
00:18:02.020So, like, there is a real, there isn't, for the people with this narrative, there isn't a conspiracy theory.
00:18:46.040And I think that we should until we are shown other evidence.
00:18:49.840I think what's the evidence here, especially without knowing more about this Ray Epps character and just, you know, it's always a good idea to just believe your lying eyes when you have no other, you have nothing else to go on in this situation.
00:19:43.040You can, you can, you can make all the jokes you want when they're not, they tighten their grip and they, and they, and they, and they get scared and they do things like this.
00:19:52.840Well, I mean, in my opinion, uh, what, what we're seeing is, uh, the state has decided it can no longer tolerate oppositional presidencies and they're not going to allow that anymore.
00:20:03.960The federal elections will be predetermined and they need, they needed a Reichstag fire and they created one.
00:20:10.580These people, they knew that the people would be there.
00:20:12.640They, they cracked open certain doors.
00:20:14.620They, they did not crack open other ones.
00:20:17.880They got the photos they needed and the, and the, and the, the, the federal government, the same federal government that we, that, you know, I, there was a time, like the first time I ever sort of like started to think like, wow, people could really be this evil that rule us is, is, is, is things like the, uh, Waco incident.
00:20:36.440And he asked, and like, when I first saw that, I was like, oh, well, there's just crazy, uh, child molesters or something running in.
00:20:42.160Then I started reading about the decisions these people were making at the ATF.
00:20:46.320Maybe that was just Clinton or, you know, this or that.
00:20:48.880And then I started to see this and, and no, I mean, we have a real, we have a real enemy.
00:20:53.380We, this, this, this, this is the empire.
00:20:56.020This is the, there's nothing more worse than the late stage empire.
00:21:00.400That is the great Satan that, and that's what is before us.
00:21:04.620And it does, it knows as soon as it loses that moral legitimacy, as soon as people say, wow, I'm only obeying this thing because you, because you have the ability and they do to force us to the same, you know, you look at the decisions, this, this, this, the empire makes against us.
00:21:21.940The empire will specifically tell you it hates, the people who pay the most taxes and obey laws and make this country great.
00:21:29.740The, the, this country will tell you it hates your guts.
00:21:32.700It doesn't want to let your children do a good school.
00:21:35.460We're going to squeeze you like a bar rag.
00:21:38.000And, um, yeah, and it's all on display here on January 6th.
00:21:43.420So you've always been picky about your produce, but now you find yourself checking every label to make sure it's Canadian.
00:22:01.000Yeah, I, I, it's hard to argue against that.
00:22:03.660Like you said, there's nothing more dangerous than the late stage empire.
00:22:06.520And when their rule becomes brittle, when the, when the rule it, when the, uh, political formula falls apart and they lose the mandate of heaven, like you're talking about, then the only thing left is raw power.
00:22:17.160And as you know, we know we're ruled by foxes, not lions.
00:22:21.400These people are, uh, they're used to ruling through trickery.
00:22:26.300They're used to ruling through deceit.
00:22:27.880They're not used to ruling through brute force.
00:22:30.020And so they're very bad at it and they want to avoid it at, uh, if at all possible.
00:22:58.500Uh, legitimacy comes into question and we need to put everybody, we need to put our opponents, opponents on the back heel heel.
00:23:06.020And that's what these people are, are really good at, right?
00:23:09.640That's what the regime is, is extremely good at is making the political opposition play defense constantly.
00:23:17.000And so what do you need in this scenario where elections look fuzzy and you kind of immediately go out and talk about how you fortified the election right after you brag about it?
00:23:27.660What do you need to do in a scenario like that?
00:23:30.180Well, you need to call into question the legitimacy of the other side.
00:24:19.520I think there is a plausible explanation of these people were told to stand down.
00:24:24.660But again, the Ashley Babbitt murder kind of pushes against that because if everyone was told to stand down,
00:24:30.100why is an unarmed woman who posed no physical threat to anyone, as far as we know, being shot to death, like that, that, that kind of pushes back against this idea that, that the officers in question were just told to leave these things alone.
00:24:46.200But either way, whether, whether you think that this was a complete, you know, creation of kind of the, the intelligence community and the, and the police state,
00:24:57.640or if you think that it was something that was, was a creation of many different confluence of events and that these people were just being helped around the,
00:25:09.840obviously the real concrete thing that you can a hundred percent point out to without any hesitation is of course the way that these people are treated afterwards.
00:25:18.340And that's what Musk is really pointing out here is, is the differentiation between the regular violent criminals who are let go all the time.
00:25:29.580Obviously we have the BLM riots, the Antifa riots that raged the entire time with no real action from the government,
00:25:36.580despite many different provable deaths, not, not imaginary ones made up by the press during that time.
00:25:42.760Uh, and you also have, uh, you know, just the, the Soros type prosecutors that will let anyone go, uh, for these kinds of crimes compared to what happened to these January 6th, uh, protesters.
00:25:53.900But I do want to play this video of Chansley real quick. Uh, we'll listen into him here.
00:25:59.120He's going to tell everybody to go home, right? He's going to read Donald Trump's tweet. Uh, everybody go home.
00:27:40.240So this doesn't really look like a guy leading an insurrection so much as directly following the instructions of the president to go home and be peaceful and telling everyone else on site to do exactly the same thing.
00:27:53.880But this guy is going to be in jail much longer than most like child molesters.
00:28:03.220I would I would I would tell everyone.
00:28:07.160So one of the things that's happened because of this, I don't think we were like the, you know, the intelligence community.
00:28:14.180That's like a that's a new that's a new term.
00:28:16.300These people were not supposed to be to be seen and considered like, you know, we had like there's there's a lot of people that thought at the time that George W.
00:28:23.440George, uh, uh, Herbert Walker Bush Bush, the first, um, president was like a CIA president.
00:28:31.220He never, ever would have like wanted to paint himself that way.
00:28:35.420Now we've seen this thing become self-aware.
00:28:37.820They have a anything that you want to see what the mother brain of evil thinks about January 6th.
00:28:44.260Just look up Abigail, uh, Abigail Spanberger.
00:28:48.480She, they, the, the, the deep state has decided she will be there.
