00:01:27.000Expressvpn.com So, yesterday was the most important day in American history.
00:01:36.000It was the first anniversary of January 6th.
00:01:38.000And it was like Christmas in January for the Democrats.
00:01:41.000They couldn't really determine whether it was supposed to be a solemn commemoration or a celebration or what exactly it was supposed to be.
00:01:47.000They just knew it was really, really important.
00:01:50.000And the reason it was really important is because Joe Biden's poll numbers are in the toilet.
00:01:54.000And the only reason that Joe Biden was elected in 2020 to begin with is because there were a lot of people who did not like Donald Trump.
00:02:00.000And so Joe Biden ran on, I'm gonna restore the soul of this country!
00:02:05.000And people were like, okay, that sounds all right.
00:02:08.000And then he immediately got into office and started pursuing Bernie Sanders' agenda.
00:02:13.000And his entire popularity, which had been close to 60%, is now all the way down to 40%.
00:02:18.000So he's trying to revive his flagging presidency by going back to January 6th and just whipping that dead horse as much as he possibly can.
00:02:25.000And you can tell, How much the Democrats are reliant on January 6th, how much they see it as a political opportunity.
00:02:32.000You can see that by how they treated it.
00:02:46.000And instead of it being a unifying event involving members of both sides of the political aisle, instead Democrats just went to Paul Wellstone's funeral and proceeded to basically throw a political rally.
00:02:56.000This is pretty much what they did yesterday on January 6th.
00:03:00.000Nancy Pelosi literally had the cast of Hamilton sing a song in the middle of the January 6th, quote unquote, memorial.
00:03:08.000First of all, the January 6th memorial, normally when you have some sort of commemorative memorial, it's because a lot of people died.
00:03:15.000Typically, you have a 9-11 memorial because 3,000 Americans were killed, or you have a December 7th, 1941 memorial because 2,300 Americans were killed.
00:03:23.000Typically, when you have a memorial, it's because there was tremendous human suffering involved.
00:03:27.000The grand total number of people who were killed Not people who died of associated heart attack, or being crushed by a crowd, or died later.
00:03:36.000The number of people who were actively killed on January 6th is one, and it was Ashley Babbitt who was shot by a Capitol Police officer while trying to move through a broken window to get a congresspeople.
00:03:45.000So they have this big memorial event, and here's Nancy Pelosi introducing the cast of Hamilton for a number of... Is there anything more in the bubble than this?
00:03:54.000First of all, the people who desperately love Hamilton, they all live in blue states.
00:03:59.000There's not a huge crowd for Hamilton in the red states.
00:04:01.000I'm not even ripping on the musical right now, although it's not my favorite musical for a variety of reasons, but the people who are just obsessed with it, they are all people who are kind of theater majors living in blue states.
00:04:17.000It reminds me of 2016 when Hillary Clinton was running for president and at the Democratic National Convention, they brought forth all of these pop stars to speak precisely to their base, but to no one else.
00:04:28.000Here was Nancy Pelosi yesterday introducing the cast of Hamilton for some odd reason.
00:04:32.000I have no idea what this has to do with January 6th, but here we go.
00:04:36.000We're privileged to have a contribution from one of the great creative talents of our time, Lin Manuel.
00:04:43.000Miranda, may his beautiful words be an inspiration to us.
00:04:48.000Among the words he said, and in the music, we'll make it right for you.
00:04:53.000If we lay a strong enough foundation, we'll pass it on to you, and we'll give the world to you.
00:05:05.000How am I supposed to take these people seriously?
00:05:08.000I mean, this would be the equivalent of Republicans holding some sort of commemoration for the BLM riots of 2020, and then bringing out Lee Greenwood to sing God Bless the USA, right?
00:05:20.000This is the kind of stuff that Democrats listen to in the shower, but I'm not sure what it has to do with January 6th, per se.
00:05:26.000But that's because it's all a big show.
00:05:55.000I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone in American politics fail upward the way that Kamala Harris has failed upward.
00:05:59.000I mean, to the point where the administration knows she's so bad that they're like, well, maybe we should fail her upward to the Supreme Court just to get rid of her.
00:06:06.000You know how much people hate you when they're talking about elevating you to the Supreme Court just to get rid of you?
00:06:12.000Like, we'll do anything to get rid of this lady.
00:06:22.000First, let's talk about a simple fact.
00:06:24.000If you run a business, you need to solve your HR issues.
00:06:26.000You think that the HR issues are a big nothing, or you don't have to think about them, and it's Toby from The Office, but here's the thing.
00:06:32.000If HR is not handled, There are so many issues that can come back and bite you directly on the toes.
00:06:44.000Bambi, it's spelled B-A-M-B-E-E, was created specifically for small business.
00:06:48.000You can get a dedicated HR manager, craft HR policy, and maintain your compliance, all for just $99 a month.
00:06:54.000With Bambi, you can change HR from your biggest liability to your biggest strength.

00:07:09.000They're month-to-month, no hidden fees, you can cancel anytime.
00:07:11.000You didn't start your business because you wanted to spend time on HR compliance?
00:07:34.000It's like Spiro, Agnew, or Herr, right?
00:07:36.000There are not a lot of contenders here on this short list of bad vice presidents.
00:07:42.000Here's Kamala Harris speaking from the Capitol Rotunda, because of course, this was the most important inflection point in American history, so we have to do exactly what Democrats say we have to do, comparing January 6th to some of the worst days in American history.
00:07:57.000Certain dates echo throughout history.
00:08:01.000Including dates that instantly remind all who have lived through them where they were and what they were doing when our democracy came under assault.
00:08:14.000Dates that occupy not only a place on our calendars, but a place in our collective memory.
00:08:36.000I don't think that 20 years from now, if somebody asks, what were you doing on January 6th, 2021?
00:08:40.000Everybody's like, I know exactly where I was.
00:08:43.000In fact, if you asked me what I was doing on January 6th, 2021, I was watching TV and watching some of it happen, but I don't actively remember where I was.
00:08:51.000I think I was at the office for part of the day, but I don't remember.
00:08:54.000If you ask me exactly what happened when I heard about September 11th, I can tell you exactly, to the moment, where I was when I heard about September 11th.
00:09:17.000A riot in which one person total was killed, like, in the riot.
00:09:23.000One person was actually killed in the riot.
00:09:26.000Are you comparing that to December 7, 1941, which not only ended with the death of 2,300 American service members, but also began America's involvement in World War II, which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths, or September 11, 2001, which was the terrorist murder of 3,000 Americans, the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York City, the attack on the Pentagon, The taking down of a plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the initiation of the War on Terror, which involved two major American wars in two different theaters.
00:09:56.000Is that what we are comparing January 6th to now?
00:10:00.000Because just on the calendar, that was not probably among the 10 most damaging riots of the last year.
00:10:08.000Probably there were 10 more damaging riots during 2020 than there were January 6th.
00:10:11.000There's $1.5 million in damage done total to the Capitol building on January 6th and one person who was killed.
00:10:17.000There's some 25 people who died in the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020 and $5 billion in uninsured property damage and about $2 billion in insured property damage done during that period.
00:10:44.000I know everybody forgets about this stuff, but leading up to the election of 2020, it was not just President Trump who was suggesting that the election was going to be corrupt and there were going to be problems.
00:10:53.000It was Democrats who were suggesting this also.
00:10:55.000You'll recall that Louis DeJoy, who was the postmaster general, right?
00:10:58.000The guy who's in charge of the post office?
00:11:00.000He was accused of actively removing mailboxes to prevent people from sending in their absentee ballots.
00:11:49.000But that's exactly what Kamala Harris does.
00:11:52.000You see, the strength of democracy is the rule of law.
00:11:57.000The strength of democracy is the principle That everyone should be treated equally.
00:12:04.000That elections should be free and fair.
00:12:09.000That corruption should be given no quarter.
00:12:13.000The strength of democracy is that it empowers I'm sorry, when you say the strength of democracy is the principle that everybody should be treated equally, and your entire administration is built on the principle not of equality of rights, but equity, which is a suggestion that there ought to be equality of outcome, and that any disparity in American life you can chalk up to the failures of our institutions?
00:12:36.000Like, it's hard for me to buy that we can all come together around a set of principles when I know on a fundamental level you do not believe in those principles.
00:12:43.000I'm perfectly happy to say, and have said many, many times, don't lie about elections.
00:12:53.000But the fact that I'm saying it applies across the board makes people on the left mad.
00:12:57.000If I say it applies across the board like, well, you're doing whataboutism, it's not whataboutism to say that something should apply equally.
00:13:03.000It's what aboutism for you guys to say that it shouldn't apply to your side.
00:13:07.000It should only apply to the other side.
00:13:09.000And here's the point from Kamala Harris, and she's so obvious.
00:13:14.000There's a tremendous lack of subtlety.
00:13:16.000I don't know whether it is just because she's not particularly smart or whether it's because she thinks she's smarter than she is, but whatever it is, Kamala Harris then comes out and she says exactly what she wants, which is give me more power.
00:13:53.000We must unite in defense of our democracy in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure
00:14:21.000Blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our prosperity and posterity.
00:14:28.000Okay, so at the very end there, my favorite part of this is that all she's doing here is just reading the Constitution like a bad third grade candidate for secretary, for class secretary.
00:15:28.000He's very angry because the only animating feature of Joe Biden, really deep down, the only reason he is president is because he is not Donald Trump.
00:15:35.000That is the only reason that he is president of the United States.
00:15:38.000And it's the only thing that animates him.
00:15:40.000I mean, this is perfectly obvious, by the way.
00:15:42.000He has said in open interviews that he doesn't know if he's going to run for president in 2024.
00:15:45.000He says, I think I will, but I'm a big believer in faith and sometimes health.
00:15:50.000And, you know, and then David Muir from ABC News is like, what if Trump runs?
00:16:22.000And one day, you just, you see him running after a criminal on the street.
00:16:27.000And the criminal runs up to you and shoots you.
00:16:29.000Well, as you lie bleeding on the street, you look up at him, you say, Peter Parker, I should have bought life insurance from Policy Genius.
00:16:36.000Because now Aunt May is just, she's living in this derelict old house.

00:17:19.000Okay, so now we get to old man Biden yelling at clouds.
00:17:22.000So, President Biden takes to the podium.
00:17:26.000And most of this speech was just about how bad Trump is.
00:17:29.000Trump is very bad, and bad is Trump, and Trump is bad.
00:17:31.000Okay, but that would not in any real way be about January 6th, because January 6th was about more than Trump.
00:17:42.000The activities that Trump involved himself in, from November 4th to January 6th, in which he denied the election, in which he suggested that the election was completely the result of electoral fraud, that he had outright won more votes in places like Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin.
00:17:59.000There was certainly some electoral fraud, because in a country with 155 million voters, there will be some electoral fraud.
00:18:04.000There was certainly corruption when it came to some of the election rules.
00:18:07.000Many states embraced rules that were completely out of the box, originally because of COVID.
00:18:13.000But then as it became clear that you could vote without really risking your own health, it was not because of COVID anymore.
00:18:18.000So when Pennsylvania decided to overrule its own constitution and simply put in place a bunch of full-scale absentee balloting, Well, that was a violation of law, even if the Pennsylvania Supreme Court didn't call it that way.
00:18:29.000But Trump had every opportunity to challenge that stuff in court.
00:18:34.000I believe all but one ended up being struck down.
00:18:36.000Even the one that wasn't struck down ended up being overruled at a certain point.
00:18:40.000He didn't even make most of the allegations in court that he made publicly.
00:18:42.000But that's not what Biden is talking about.
00:18:44.000What Biden is saying is that Trump is responsible for the destruction of democracy.
00:18:49.000That's on Trump, and mostly it's on everyone who disagrees with Joe Biden.
00:18:53.000You have to give Joe Biden your full faith because he's standing in the face of a full-scale assault on democracy that continues to this very day.
00:19:08.000So the notion that we are all just waiting for Joe Biden to save us from the grave threat of Trump, I'm not sure who he's talking to other than his base.
00:19:18.000But being very, very angry about Trump and then suggesting the entire Republican Party is going to overthrow elections, when it was the Republican Party, by the way, that certified the 2020 election.
00:19:28.000Remember, never forget, it was Mike Pence who certified the election.
00:19:31.000That was the guy who was the incumbent vice president.
00:19:34.000It was Senator Mitch McConnell who oversaw the certification of election results.
00:19:38.000It was Republican secretaries of state like Brad Raffensperger in Georgia and Republican governors in Arizona.
00:19:44.000It was a bunch of Republican state legislatures that certified these votes.
00:20:37.000And you're all supposed to give him power and pretend that he's not a bad president because Trump.
00:20:41.000So, he began by suggesting that the January 6th was a grave assault on democracy that nearly ended the 230-odd year experiment of the United States, which of course is ridiculous and silly on its face.
00:21:10.000The will of the people was under assault.
00:21:13.000The Constitution, our Constitution, faced the gravest of threats.
00:21:19.000Wait, so the gravest of threats was, just to get this straight, a couple of hundred idiots Trespassing, yelling, breaking windows, and committing criminal acts against police officers in the Capitol, being cleared out within three hours, and then the certification taking place.
00:21:36.000Honestly, if our Constitution and our liberty is that fragile, then the problem ain't Donald Trump.
00:21:54.000This was not a grave threat to democracy.
00:21:56.000You know, there are other countries where there are grave threats to democracy.
00:21:59.000Those threats usually include things like disbanding the legislature by the executive branch.
00:22:04.000Those things usually include military occupations of capitals.
00:22:08.000Those things usually include laws passed by legislatures that grants ultimate power to the executive branch, essentially removing the legislature from the purview of the entire process.
00:22:18.000Those things include stacking the Supreme Court or getting rid of the Supreme Court.
00:22:22.000Look at countries all over the world where democracy has fallen.
00:22:25.000It includes actual changes to institutions.
00:22:27.000It does not include a couple of hundred rowdies going into a place and being cleared out by the cops.
00:22:34.000That's called, like, Most political events that are bad in the United States, that's been happening for quite a while.
00:22:43.000Again, that is not to downplay the evils of January 6th or the people who committed crimes.
00:22:47.000That is not to downplay Trump's lies from November 4th to January 6th and some of the stuff that he says today.
00:22:54.000What it is to say is that if you are saying that we were like this far away from democracy falling in the United States on January 6th, I don't know what to tell you, you're a moron.
00:23:01.000If you actually believe that we were this close to democracy falling completely on January 6th, that you're a motivated believer or an idiot.
00:23:10.000You want to believe it or you're just dumb and you're taken in.
00:23:15.000We'll get to more from Angry Joe Biden, animated Joe Biden, in just one second first.
00:24:49.000Rioters rampaging, waving for the first time inside this Capitol.
00:24:56.000Confederate flag that symbolized the cause to destroy America.
00:25:01.000to rip us apart. Even during the Civil War, that never ever happened. But it happened here in 2021.
00:25:12.000So is he now suggesting that this was like worse than the Civil War?
00:25:20.000There's a Confederate flag in the Capitol building.
00:25:24.000That never even happened during the Civil War.
00:25:25.000Well, I mean, 600,000 Americans did die during the Civil War, so there was that.
00:25:29.000And there was a massive battlefront that ranged all the way from, like, Texas to Washington, D.C.
00:25:38.000So, I mean, I feel like that was worse.
00:25:41.000But there was one moron carrying a confederate flag in the Capitol building, so I guess we're all supposed to... I guess that's the same, sort of.
00:25:48.000By the way, I love that he's like, the fact that there was a confederate flag in the Capitol building, that's never happened even in the Civil War.
00:25:57.000Until five seconds ago, there was a statue of Jefferson Davis in Statuary Hall where he is speaking right now.
00:26:09.000Okay, but it's just, that idiot waving the Confederate flag in Statuary Hall, well, that means that the Republic was this close to falling because of helmet-horned guy, because of the Wagnerian opera helmet guy.
00:26:23.000Again, then he talks about the assaults on police officers, and this kind of stuff really gets my goat.
00:26:28.000You can't spend years, literally years, ripping on the police as systemically racist enforcers of the patriarchal institutions of the United States, seeking to criminalize blackness.
00:26:39.000The new Jim Crow, as Michelle Alexander puts it, you can't say that police all across the country are emissaries of evil, but then when it suits your purposes, they become heroes again.
00:26:48.000That's not the way any of that crap works.
00:26:50.000The people who assault police officers across the board should go to jail.
00:27:20.000Can you muster any of that outrage for the police officers who have been wrongly castigated by the press over the course of the last seven years?
00:27:27.000Because remember, this really started in 2014 with the Ferguson riots.
00:27:32.000So going back years and years and years, The Democrats have been wildly anti-police.
00:27:38.000The attempt now to retcon this into, oh, we found one event where some people who were allied with the right, or felt they were on the right, where those people assaulted police officers, therefore the police are now good.
00:28:38.000usually implies that you are armed with, you know, like an actual gun, armed with actual dangerous weaponry.
00:28:45.000I'm not aware that any of the charging documents include a single firearm.
00:28:48.000If you're going to do an armed insurrection, typically you want to bring a firearm because that's usually the weapon you used in an armed insurrection.
00:28:53.000Second, an insurrection usually requires an element of planning.
00:28:56.000Like if you're going to plan an insurrection, you actually have to plan the insurrection.
00:28:59.000Typically, it's not just a bunch of people who get pissed off and go into a building and do damage to it.
00:29:05.000Okay, so if you don't believe that Black Lives Matter matter burning storefronts in 2020 was an insurrection, then you really should not believe that this was an insurrection.
00:29:11.000So it was not an armed insurrection, it was a riot.
00:29:44.000The reason they use the language of war is because during wars, you get to invoke wartime powers.
00:29:49.000And when you invoke authoritarian powers, you get to do whatever the hell you want.
00:29:53.000So when you say there's an armed insurrection, the natural consequence of that is, I need to be empowered in order to stomp out armed insurrections.
00:30:02.000I need wartime powers, which is exactly what Joe Biden wants.
00:30:05.000I have to point out one more thing with regard to his rhetoric on police officers.
00:30:19.000Jill and I have mourned police officers in this Capitol Rotunda not once but twice.
00:30:26.000In the wake of January 6, once to honor Officer Brian Sicknick, who lost his life the day after the attack, and a second time to honor Officer Billy Evans.
00:30:37.000Who lost his life defending his capital as well.
00:30:39.000This is such a peculiar move that he's making right now.
00:31:01.000Because maybe you could make the medical case that the stress of January 6th induced the heart attack or something.
00:31:06.000The other guy he mentions there, the other guy he mentions there, Officer Billy Evans, Billy Evans died as a result of an attack at the Capitol building that had nothing to do with January 6th.
00:31:17.000So lumping the two of them in so they're both results of January 6th is crazy.
00:31:21.000Do you remember the death of Officer Billy Evans?
00:31:24.000It didn't become a national issue because the way that the media determined whether a crime story is a national issue or not is by determining whether the victimizer is a person with whom they are politically allied in some sense.
00:31:34.000If the person is a political enemy, it's a national story.
00:31:37.000If the person could theoretically be conceived of as a political ally, it's not a national story, it's a local crime story.
00:31:43.000So Sicknick's death was a national story because January 6th was super duper duper terrible, but Officer Billy Evans's death was not a national story.
00:31:51.000The reason, by the way, that Joe Biden went to the rotunda for Officer Billy Evans specifically is because he wanted to create the presumption that he was going to do this for all officers.
00:32:01.000It wasn't just officers who died in the line of duty with some relation to his political enemies.
00:32:05.000But lumping them in together does precisely the reverse.
00:32:08.000He's now suggesting that Billy Evans died as a result of January 6th.
00:33:07.000First, health insurance, as we all know, can get very expensive and very complicated very quickly.
00:33:13.000For a lot of people in the United States concerned about the cost of health insurance, there aren't any good options.
00:33:17.000Either go out on your own with no safety net, or you pay through the nose for a high deductible plan that doesn't kick in until you have spent thousands of bucks.
00:33:23.000That is because we have a broken health insurance system in this country.
00:33:27.000Thanks to Obamacare and thanks to a lot of bad governmental decisions over the course of decades.
00:33:30.000What if I told you, you don't necessarily need health insurance, you deserve healthcare freedom?
00:33:37.000It's a community of people who care about their health, healthcare freedom, and each other.
00:33:41.000CrowdHealth exists because we're tired of overpaying for broken healthcare.
00:33:44.000It introduces consumerism into the market, letting you navigate the care you need.
00:33:48.000without the burdens of government bureaucracy. You're free to get the care you need and when big expenses come, the community crowdfunds the bill on your behalf. Joining CrowdHealth gives you your health care freedom back while saving you thousands of bucks every year.
00:34:54.000Whenever you are being treated with quote-unquote strange new respect, You should have a second thought.
00:35:01.000You might think, hmm, why are all these people who hate everything about them?
00:35:04.000They literally made a movie about the evils of Dick Cheney called Vice by Adam McKay, who is one of the most overrated filmmakers in Hollywood.
00:35:57.000I mean, George W. Bush was Bush-Hitler.
00:36:00.000George W. Bush was an illegitimate president, according to the Democrats, because of 2000.
00:36:04.000George W. Bush was a warmonger who led us into a Bush lied, people died.
00:36:10.000I mean, it is so tiresome, it is so tiresome to hear Democrats proclaim the virtues of people they hated until 30 seconds ago, when those people became much more convenient to them.
00:36:21.000And I will say, I'll say this about Dick Cheney or the Bushes, I have a lot of fondness for some of these people from the Bush administration.
00:36:28.000I do, because I remember defending a lot of their actions during the Bush administration.
00:36:32.000Hey, but, but, if you spend your entire post-political career saying nothing when Democrats run roughshod across everything that you held dear, and then you can only be found to speak to a camera, as soon as something bad happens from the Republican side of the aisle, I have some questions.
00:36:51.000If you couldn't be found anywhere during the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, if you couldn't be found anywhere during the Russia collusion stuff, if you couldn't be found anywhere while the Democrats are trying to ram through authoritarian COVID measures, you can't be found anywhere defending many of the people who supported you, but you can be dredged up in order to do a January 6th Extravaganza.
00:37:13.000On behalf of Nancy Pelosi and the cast of Hamilton, I have some questions about the people that are hanging out within your priorities.
00:37:18.000Really, I may agree with some of the stuff they even say, but I have some real questions about your sense of loyalty to the people who got you where you are.
00:37:28.000Are we going to be a nation that accepts political violence as a norm?
00:37:30.000And then he gets into, again, the double standards here are just, they are mind boggling.
00:37:36.000So Joe Biden starts talking about the higher standards of America that he supposedly hold.
00:37:40.000And every line here, it's like, buy yourself a mirror, Joe, please, for the love of God, look in a mirror, get your party a damned mirror, sir.
00:38:39.000I mean, honest to God, these people, it's unbelievable.
00:38:43.000They just are going to 1984 your memories out of existence.
00:38:46.000They're just going to memory hole all this crap.
00:38:49.000Anything bad that happened on their side, until now, until January 6th, did you know there had been no acceptance of political violence as a norm?
00:39:27.000But some of these people apparently think that they can just get away with saying that the only people who have normed political violence are people on the right.
00:39:35.000And then he said, are we going to be a nation where we allow partisan election officials to overturn the legally expressed will of, I don't know, didn't you guys claim that Stacey Abrams is still the governor of Georgia?
00:39:45.000Aren't you currently engaged in redistricting that is far more beneficial to Democrats than Republican redistricting has been to Republicans?
00:39:52.000Are we going to be a nation that lives not by the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies?
00:39:58.000From the Biden administration, which lies as a matter of routine, they do it over and Afghanistan was a months-long lie from, don't worry, the government won't collapse, it'll be fine, to, we always knew the government was going to collapse, and it'll still be fine, to, we're not allying in any way with, like, Al-Qaeda has gone from the country to, don't worry, our soldiers are safe, to, don't worry, we're evacuating people in the most brilliant evacuation since Dunkirk.
00:40:40.000And then he gets to the same point as Kamala Harris.
00:40:41.000It just takes him longer to get there.
00:40:43.000His new point is, you have to let us completely rewrite election law in the United States in order to save democracy.
00:40:48.000We have to wreck democracy by federalizing all election procedure under the auspices of people Joe Biden likes.
00:40:54.000Right now, in state after state, new laws are being written, not to protect the vote, but to deny it.
00:41:05.000Not only to suppress the vote, but to subvert it.
00:41:09.000Not to strengthen or protect our democracy, but because the former president lost, instead of looking at the election results from 2020 and saying they need new ideas or better ideas to win more votes, the former president and his supporters have decided the only way for them to win is to suppress your vote and subvert our elections.
00:41:40.000Okay, I mean, this is the same schtick that this schmuck was trotting out with regard to the Georgia law, which he called a new form of Jim Crow.
00:41:48.000I also don't believe that you care very much about election integrity when you spend literally a year talking about how all of the emergency protocols taken during COVID ought to be made the new normal.
00:41:59.000We ought to be sending absentee ballots to every household in the nation.
00:42:01.000We ought to be having Democratic employees engaged in ballot harvesting, going door-to-door to Democratic registered voters and picking up their ballots.
00:42:09.000We ought to get rid of voter ID everywhere across the country.
00:42:12.000We ought to federalize all election procedures that states have no say in it whatsoever.
00:42:16.000You know, I don't believe that you care about election integrity.
00:42:18.000I believe that you want to rig the rules.
00:42:23.000I mean, the Democrats won't even get together with the Republicans to reform the Electoral Count Act.
00:42:27.000If you are worried about people, quote-unquote, stealing federal elections, the Electoral Count Act, which led to the vagary of some people wrongly believing that the Vice President and that the Congress had the ability to throw out state-certified votes, If you believe that that's a problem, then there have been a bunch of Republicans, including mainstream right-wing Republicans, who have called for a revision of the Electoral Counts Act to clarify how that procedure works.
00:42:56.000What you really care about is rigging the rules for yourself.
00:42:58.000He'll get to the conclusion of Joe Biden's speech in just one moment, then we'll get to some of the other Democrats sounding off on January 6th.
