- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ม.ค. 2021
- Donald Trump incites a violent insurrection against the U.S. Capitol, and Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff make history in Georgia, wresting control of the U.S. Senate away from Mitch McConnell. Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer discuss who is responsible for the coup attempt in Washington, from the president to elected Republicans Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley to media outlets like Fox News and Facebook. Then, they break down possible actions like impeachment and the 25th amendment. Finally, they discuss the work of Stacey Abrams and other organizers in Georgia, and what lies ahead for Joe Biden once he takes office.

Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

There were more police at Breonna Taylor's house than were at the U.S. Capitol.
BS that's not true. Plus a cop just died from injuries sustained while defending from the rioters
Ooomph. That's tough
That statement doesn’t mean anything. Trump didn’t say he wouldn’t do anything to incite violence. He just said on the 20th it will be peaceful.
He said orderly not peaceful. Makes me wonder why. Said it in his tweet and in his speech tonight...didn't day peaceful.
@@lonesaiyan27 I believe that the comment of EDJE was obvious hyperbole.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, says F Ted Cruz more enjoyably than Jon Favreau.
👏🏻 I ran it back a few times. I cannot stand him.
Cathy L God, so much. I also remember Al Franken’s take on TC when he said, “I probably like Ted Cruz more than anyone else in the Senate does, and I HATE Ted Cruz.” 🤣
I want it as my ringtone
Ted Cruz = most disliked person outside of trump
And we all FEEL it so deeply
I’m one of those BLUE Georgia voters! Very proud of my state, & all hail to Queen Stacey Abrams! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you!!!
I'm proud of you too! Thank you for your vote. Stacy is a natural hero in my book.
Thank you and thanks to Stacey. What a relief. Too bad happened what happened at the capitol stole their thunder.
Thank you! You've changed the course of history - TWICE!!!
Me too!!
Stacey Abrams deserves a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her playbook needs to be implemented all over the country along with a revamp of everything related to the election (campaign finance, gerrymandering, vote suppression, etc)
She needs to teach classes.
We need to retire the medal of Freedom. I don’t think it can be redeemed from the dark of the Trump years. It is tarnished beyond repair by Trump giving it to Limbaugh and now Nunez and even Jordan! Stacy needs a better medal for her work on behalf of voting rights.
Now Stacy Abrams do right by black people REPARATIONS 2021
Yes indeed!
Yes! Now that is truly overcoming the odds! Dr. MLK would be proud.
This is why I’ve been frightened for four years. But a lot of friends thought people like me were over-reacting all along, and I don’t get overly afraid or hysterical and I’m not conspiracy-minded. I think mainstream media didn’t cover this well - one reason I love Pod Save America.
Regarding Georgia election: thank you Stacy Abrams!
Yes indeed! And to the wonderful voters of Georgia who saved this country!
Joe needs to call her and say: "Name the cabinet job you want! You deserve it. We all must thank you!"
YES OOOO!! STACY ABRAMS & OTHERS!! GREAT JOB AGAIN!!!. SHE DID WORK EVEN ON HER BIRTHDAY!!THANKS SO MUCH!!.
**200000. BLACK VOTERS WE'RE PURGED BY BRAD RAFFENSPERGER IN GEORGIA!!!!!! AND WE STILL WON!!! WE NEED VOTER PROTECTION LAWS NOW!!!!!!**
@@lastjob2011 no, we need her in Taxes for 2022 and 2024.
I’m only 20 minutes in and I’ve yelled ‘Exactly!’ out loud to myself about a thousand times. Jon’s fury this episode feels so validating.
Exactly.....I dont curse, and I want to say F......it!
The anger is palpable. It's exactly how I feel.
It’s not just anger. Its more complex. It’s fear and sadness. It’s trauma. He’s gutted. This is very personal for him, more so than I think most of us can understand. DC is his Disneyland and it was assaulted.
Sounds like all of you need to check your feels and do a little digging into the reals. Take a fucking logic pill or something. It can not be easy to live like an exposed nerve like you guys do.
Black women saved the Republic.
Agreed.
That was an interesting comment.
@@ems7623 watch the video?
Again. And the republic did not deserve to be saved (again)
@@CasaVipera hey we gotta live here too!
I’ve never been more excited to hear a pod save America episode
Me too, I was dying to hear what they had to say about the Trump terrorists
Same here!
Agreed. Listening to Pod Save America reassures me that life goes on; we are not alone; there are intelligent people of good character to help us find the way forward from even the darkest of days.
Came here to say this!
I kept checking too!
They didn't spoil Georgia for me, Yeah Georgia!!!!
Yes, thank you Everyone who voted in Georgia for change!
🍑 🍑🍑
Same 😍🥳😍🥳😍🥳💛🍑🎉
This week has been an emotional roller coaster. I was super excited after the election results on Tuesday online to be disgusted and terrified by what we saw on Wednesday.
I was so wasted by noon, i then passed out I thought I made up the capitol...I sobered up tout suite!
Honestly....I am tired of hearing the tag line “this is not who we are” ....what America y’all been in???
if i hear that one more time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHO "WE" ARE.
You are sooo right. The people who stormed the Capitol represent the most influential and important voting block for the years to come. Look at the map and look at all this freshmen and women in the Congress. Democrats have two years to govern and then in 2022 the senate and the house will be led by the representatives of these people, by racists and qanon believers. This is the reality.
I agree. That's a lie. What is meant is "This is not what I want us to be." It's denial and part of the problem. Words matter (like we saw on Wednesday).
They’ve been in white America lol
So true. I’m Australian and could see this coming since the tea party! So glad you got Georgia! Change the world for the honest, hard working people and demand a proper wage. My 15yr old gets better paid!
Rudi Giuliani called for trial by combat How is that not incitement?
Patients suffering from dementia call for all kinds of insane bullshit.
RUDY GIULIANI should be in jail now. He contributed to what happened on the CAPITOL.!!. We lost A POLICE MEMBER!!. l am deeply worried on all our elected officials especially those that speak out!.
They haven't even begun to go after Rudy! That man is in deep doo doo
@@Frommerman The 1st thing I said was this is what happens when mental health is left UNtreated. I absolutely agree! I can only hope mental health will get some funding with the pandemic P TSD and all of these constitutional challenges from this era of politics.
It's not so much P.Trump. Hes been in the Narcissist ditch his whole life and no one helped him, They just used him Right back. But the Inner circle around him Including family, friends, investors, media opportunists,Sailing professionals who all bottom said off of him and his position that he Managed to sell. Those Sinister bumbling people Must be investigated and criminally prosecuted. I hope we get some dedicated DOJ And state prosecutors on board because there's a whole lot of Embarrassment ahead if history sees nothing was done.
It is, and also the lies of a fraudulent election, the election was stolen over & over also fuelled these terrorists.
I am so here for Dan’s and Jon’s outrage and sanity after yesterday. Thank you for this episode.
Thank you for watching!
@@podsaveamerica Hey there, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'd very much appreciate an update on the insurrection. Thanks!
I’m so glad you’re talking about my two new senators since the news is not covering it yet. I need to celebrate!!! I am so over the moon happy and honestly I think when those two walk into the Senate room for the first time they’re going to get a standing ovation. This was the Olympics of campaigns and they worked so tirelessly and there were such a force behind them. We are very proud here in Georgia and thank you everybody who helped, who voted, who organized, who mobilized and who cheered us on. We freakin did it!!!!!
Omg! Thank you Georgia, parties aside, you picked two GREAT people! Congratulations Georgians, you have great representation.
@Live. Chill. Life. I live in NYC, I am struggling, however I cobbled funds together, and donated to ACTBLUE to help the Georgia Democratic Candidates. I have family that lived in GA, NC, OH, FL...ALL of those states FAILED, EXCEPT GA, which came through and pulled Joe Biden over the finish line. I am IN AWE and have such IMMENSE RESPECT for the TIRELESS Efforts of Stacey Abrams, [ Robbed of her RIGHTFUL POSITION AS GOVERNOR of GA, by Kemp's VOTER PURGES while AG/Governor Candidate ] who should be lauded for her ACTIVISM, BRILLIANCE and WARRIOR QUEEN SPIRIT. Congratulations, to Senatorial Freshmen Warnock and Ossoff. Thank you GEORGIANS, WE LOVE YOU.
Celebrate 🎉 Good times cmon 🎉🎉

THANK YOU GA‼YOU ARE HEROES🦸♂️ AND HEROINES🦸♀️ WHO HAVE SAVED THE 🇺🇸 AMERICA'S 🇺🇸 HOPE ♥️❗♥️‼
This should be investigated to the level Republicans investigated Benghazi.
But perhaps at a higher level of competence.
Greater
Dan asks: “What is your reaction to the Republicans who issued statements condemning these events?” My answer: way, way, WAY too late. Zero credit.
Right? He hasn't really gotten worse, there have just been more opportunities for things to hasten toward the inevitable end. So fuck those guys, and especially Susan "I think he's learned his lesson" Collins.
I come to Crooked Media for the unfiltered, raw emotions that equal my angry frustration.
But with intelligent delivery!! Real political discussion!! Not craziness!!
@@ingridumutessivanderloo2489 Exactly!
Me too! :)
I was sitting in the break room at work watching the riot unfold with my coworkers, and for some reason all I could think about was the anti-Vietnam protests and how Nixon went out and spoke to the protesters, even though it was obvious they vehemently disagreed with each other over a life and death matter. And compare that to how Trump has been planting the seeds for this for years, incited a riot, turned them loose, and then did nothing to stop it. He couldn’t even go confront his own supporters.
Finally! I kept refreshing the feed trying to get this video to come up.
We got Mitch!
Jon - I felt your emotions when you started speaking about Ossoff and the Reverend. I’m Canadian, but seeing what has happened in the Us over the last 5 years, and the impact it’s made over here with the rise of white nationalism, it brings me hope to see what happened in Georgia. Thank you both for all you do!
Jon had me in tears during this pod. Hope, despair, fear and anger.
Add courage and freedom.....we will prevail.
I grew up in Tennessee. When I was a child, the KKK was still burning crosses just a few miles from our house. My Dad had a store in Dalton when it was the “Capital of the Tufted Textile Industry”. I thought the Rev would win because even some Republicans were horrified by Leffler. But never thought purdue would be ousted. Thank you everyone in Georgia who worked for this. Thank you, Crooked, for letting me contribute a little of my SS check to this. Things change. Slowly.
Suzanne!, u are a queen!! Also I must know what products are made from the “Tufted Textile Industry”! Tutus? Those shirts made from that weird, very stretchy material that looks like a ton of triangles or egg-white peaks and it’s always in a jewel tone. (anyone know what I’m talking about?)
Hey guys! Yesterday I woke up to the good news that GA will be sending two democratic senators to the senate. Then shit hit the fan. I smacked my forehead so many times yesterday in disbelief. I wish they can just impeach him or invoke the 25th, he's still got two weeks left to do damage. 😔
Stacy Abrams is a national hero. She and her crew not only flipped Georgia a southern state but they dethroned Mitch McConnell. Like OMG that’s monumental hero-worthy shit right there. Abrams Slays Grim Reaper- the headline shoulda read.
The GOP enablers who downplayed the danger of trump’s language, who called people who warned of the danger, alarmist, and now say “he’s gone too far” should be spat on.
I think Georgia proves that Democrats can win by running on policy.
I have been refreshing TH-cam for the past 24 hours for this. Thanks for jumping on this so quick guys!
I think the attack ads against Warnock especially when they used his religion & clips of him preaching motivated black voters a lot that motivated me I was pisseddd I hate Kelly’s guts for that shit
Well, if it's worth anything, she looked scared to death on the Senate floor after the " unscheduled break" when she withdrew her objection to the count of the Certified Electoral Votes.
Those did, but I also think Mitch blocking the vote for $2,000 checks was the killing blow that finally pushed Warnock and Ossoff over the top. Mitch could have let that vote happen, told Perdue and Loeffler to vote yes, and there still would have been enough votes to prevent it from passing. Then they could have taken that back to Georgia and used that in their campaign... "hey, I tried, but it was out of my hands..." but blocking it from the jump just gave Warnock and Ossoff even more ammo.
@@Eviltwin531 Lets face it Mitch has a great game face but his strategic skills are.....piss poor!
@@elaineburnett5230 Never expected to see "Mitch" and "great face" in a sentence together.
I wish I had seen them. If they can be found on the internet, please note below.
Despite all that has happened I've never been more proud to be an organizer in Georgia 🥰 GAMVP has literally been working nonstop.
Thank you for taking time and energy to be active in our country's democracy! You did that!!!💖💖💖
Can't thank you enough from Washington State❤ I donated to both Candidates - as much as I could - but you put in the hard work and I am so grateful🤗
Jon (seemingly) choking up talking about what happened in GA had me tearing up, too. I'm a lifelong Georgian and a former Conservative who joined the Democratic Party in 2015. I've been a loyal listener of Crooked since 2017, and got involved with the voting/organizing process for the first time ever in 2018. It feels amazing to play a small part in turning GA blue. Thanks to Jon, Dan and the rest of the Crooked team for all of their resources and organizing.
I’ve been watching & listening to Favreau for four years. I’ve never heard him so angry. And his incandescent fury is entirely justified.
Senate MINORITY leader Mitch McConnell....music to my ears
Oh yes. The grim reaper is finally dead.
@@blkcatzette
-dead- declawed
Or maybe 'disarmed'.
MUCH better than him just being gone from the Senate is that he will still be there and powerless to stop real, positive change anymore.
They can’t say it enough times: Minority leader McConnell, Minority leader, Minority leader, . . .
Former President's who released statements includes Jimmy Carter now.
Wow. He is like 96. Imagine having a 96 year old telling you to stop rioting.
@@lukerickbeil1360 He might be 96 but I bet we would still annihiliate Trump in any test of cognitive function you can find
@@theomegajuice8660 1++
If J.C. is speaking out you know something very dear to everyone in america is is grave danger of being lost or dismantled at the least, i cant remember a time when he was on any list of former pres speaking out, you know besides all of his full time post presidency humanitarian causes hes already championing all the time anyway.
The people of America never really gave President Jimmy Carter a decent chance to succeed !
Maybe the students of Marjorie Stoneman Douglas will get a more open ear from Congress after this. You think Congress was traumatized? Please.
Good point!
Trump said in the summer to BLM protests, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Trump said yesterday to insurrectionists, “you’re special, I love you, I understand you.”
Exactly... that says it all.
No mistaking his intentions. Racism on display.
Thank you, I am just now catching up on this episode and thought let me check if someone else brought this up. And if anyone has any doubt that it was blatant racism, they now concrete proof.
I can’t believe that a firefighter in Florida was caught on film and the fire department put a statement that he is currently on paid leave while they do their investigation. What investigation? They have video proof of him being inside of the Capitol.
Apparently he, the firefighter stated that he found himself walking into the Capitol; a decision he now regrets but with all the excitement he wasn’t thinking. I take it that the barricades in front of him were there for decoration and the Capitol police were props to complement the barricades.
IMO all these MAGAs are right-wing terrorists and should be treated as such. Send them to Guantánamo Bay so they can feel at home.
Thank you for remaining of the statement. When it is white people looting, Trump said they are special. Things are not fair but God is just. He has no respect for any person.
Excellent pod cast! Thank you guys for being here for us.
"The danger of the situation is we make it about Trump." RIGHT ON!!!
The scenes at the capital do not represent who we want to be... but they absolutely represent who we are.
Why have Impeachment or the 25A if not for this exact moment?! /last year with Ukraine also, but who's counting...
If you don’t hold this president accountable you can’t be upset when his actions have consequences. Even if you can’t win use the power you have and do your damn job.
The 25th wasn't really designed for this moment, which is problem. It was passed to deal with real incapacitation, like a President having a stroke etc.
@@AU9377, well it should be designed for this moment too. T keeps the lying about election fraud even after showing his grasp of reality is non-existent while coercing Georgia to turn their certification and threatening Georgia leaders with charges. He has no boundaries nor limits and is vindictive. He would stop at nothing.
My favorite comment of the week was the one about the Capitol of the world's most powerful country falling in ten minutes to the cast of Duck Dynasty and a guy in a Chewbacca bikini. In a very dark and sorrowful moment, that made me laugh.
The domestic terrorists attack was well known and the security still sucked.
@Liyt What happened to calling for back-up? WHY wasn't there already a National Guard presence?? Somethings NOT right. But we now know that there is a difference between dealing with black/brown protesters and white protesters. The White ones get the Grand tour and a National guard escort to their cars. The dark-skinned protesters get beat-up and jail time.
I remember, how it looked in June for the peaceful and unarmed BLM protestors. National Guard troops from 20 different states, heavily armed Feds with no identification as far as the eye could see and the 101st airborne standing by outside the city complete with fucking bajonets!
Here? Not a Fed in sight. Capitol Police with only hand guns and batons and in regular day numbers. National Guard requested, but denied access. Desperate politicians under siege calling the Governors of Maryland and Virginia to send their National Guard and Riot Police to save them from an overrun Capitol, and it still took another 1½ hours to be allowed access to DC, and they still did it on the word of the Army Sec, who is NOT in the chain of command to authorize that.
This was not a security failure. This was deliberate. This needs to be thoroughly investigated, who gave those orders, who kept the reinforcements back for hours, who decided to have zero security in place ahead of time. Some1 wanted this to happen.
I heard an interesting theory that they wanted to get arrested and face resistance so they could martyr themselves as First Amendment crusaders unlawfully attacked and imprisoned because of their beliefs, but it backfired because the cops wouldn't (or couldn't, being so outnumbered) take the bait.
Or similarly, they wanted to find counter-protestors to fight with so they could put all the blame on BLM which also backfired when they didn't take the bait (not that they're not trying anyway.)
@@Eviltwin531 Fox news and Tucker Carlson are throwing around this conspiracy theory (because that's what pathological LIARS do) based off an article from the Washington Times that Antifa was somehow involved with this domestic terrorist act by Chump's magat base. GOP Reps. Mo Brooks, Paul Gosar and Matt Gaetz have all promoted the idea that left-wing extremist group Antifa snuck in with Trump supporters during Wednesday's rally to provoke the mob. "Evidence growing that fascist ANTIFA orchestrated Capitol attack with clever mob control tactics," Brooks, an Alabama Republican, tweeted Thursday morning.
It's amazing how low these far right wing Repugnants will go to NOT acknowledge blame for what their constituents did at the capitol. It's obviously CLEAR from the scenes at the capitol that these were ALL Trump maga terrorists who permeated the capitol and attempted to overturn the election.
@@dfuher968 Absolutely AGREE with your assessment: "Someone wanted this to happen."
I’m ready to fight to flip Missouri. Georgia proved its possible and I want Billy Long’s seat. If it takes ten years... well, I’ll only be 35 then. Just getting started.
Right on!
I campaigned for Galloway for Missouri governor and Bollier for senate in Kansas (I live in Kansas City near the state line). Both were lost causes in the end, but they reached a lot of people, and I hope that it sets some groundwork for the future. Georgia proved it’s possible!
GET IT SAMANTHA!!!
I’m also in Billy Long’s district. If you’re a Pod Save America fan, you have my vote.
I agree with Dan. I was not hopeful about GA. If you don't expect too much then you won’t be let down. Working on adjusting my attitude in 2021. Congrats GA!
Jon Favreau - I hear the ice cubes in that coffee cup and I feel you, brother.
I'm so happy to see this pop up on my notifications!
Thank you, Stacey.
I don’t understand why the media is shying away from calling these people terrorists. For a second, if you think about it, the day could have ended on a worse note, if the mob had hurt or worse killed the elected officials who were in session. I mean, the crowd appeared to be trigger friendly.
I don’t know what’s going on with the capitol police, it’s going to interesting to find out...
We need an investigation ASAP!
I’m willing to bet some trump loyalists sabotaged emergency response process.
Or trump/Rudy related somehow to someone who played a role in this chaos.
Personally speaking, most of the cops I've encountered in various situations (I used to work at a coffee shop near a police station) skew pretty right wing anyway... lots of 2A and Punisher decals on their cars, lots of "if you can't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them" kind of slogans... I feel like police-work in general just draws people of a certain mindset, and it would not surprise me if it came out they soft-pedaled the rioters because they agreed with them.
@@Eviltwin531 the punisher decals are hilarious...they just think skulls and murder are cool...they have no idea what the symbol represents and they ruin it with their stupidity and lust. And as the sign says on the building across from my apartment ACAB...
@@epiccollision It also kind of fundamentally misses the whole relationship between the Punisher and the police.
Dan’s “There’s almost nothing surprising that the right wing of the Republican Party can do.” is the most disappointingly indicative sign that we are heading to a civil war; over fascism, over racism, over basic human decency.
Unfortunately, this is true. The FBI warned us in the last 2 years that the biggest threat to security are right wing extremists/milita.
Let’s say civil war is extremely unlikely to happen, these groups will still seek violence and terror in the next 4 years.
It’s plausible they’ll feel empowered to attach innocent people of color, educational professionals that represent the “entitled” left, and enact acts of terror in local/state/national elections going forward.
The bright shining light in our lives is Georgia. That's America.
Is there a left wing of the Republican Party, Dan?
We are not at war, we are standing in defense of the peace. The GOP is at war,, with itself, and democracy.
@@daltonlunn1653 Im not Dan but yeah. A lot of us, Democrats, i mean, don't pile all of us under one category of people. I might be giving away big DNC secrets but we Voted on It and have many ways to describe ours and everyone's varying degrees of Left and Right and The Socialist Tea Party is REALLY WEIRD!

I'm from Georgia. Doug Collins is likely going to run against Warnock for senate, and not against Kemp. Don't get distracted and turn your attention away from my state because Warnock is only serving a 2 yr term and not 6 yrs!
Holy cow, you're right. I didn't realize Warnock's term is only partial. I feel like calling for Stacy Abrams the way we would call on Superman or Wonder Woman.
Asking where the police were during this is like asking where Miley is when Hannah is on stage.
🏆🏆🏆
I sorry, when are americans going to admit that this is america now
I watched this insurrection yesterday in real time. For the first time in YEARS, I broke out in stress hives from the anxiety & terror of it all. Had nightmares all night long. This shit is real & it affects all of us. This, in my opinion, was as traumatic as 9/11.
Honestly, almost more traumatizing, because these terrorists are our friends, family,
... neighbors, teachers, coworkers, and “leaders”
@@rhondavanderbeek8006 That is the saddest part of all. That people we love & used to respect have been drawn in by Trump’s crime syndicate.
@Keridwin. I nearly lost 3 kid clients between the ages of 8 and 14 to suicide over this shit. Kids are TERRIFIED.
@@ecbh8487 So sorry to hear that. I hope they’re ok. I can imagine the terror children are feeling right now in response to, not only the violence on TV, but also the anxiety & despair displayed by the adults around them.
“The forces that gave us Trump are getting worse not better.” Agreed.
Agreed and just because they are getting cornered and shirking like a wounded animal, so many times already said about Trump. Though, I think Trump is a populist, and populist mostly talk not act, they are cowards in essence and in this week events he might have learned (or being remembered) that words can have an impact. Can't wait to see him in the orange suit just for inciting a mob.
Luckily Joe Biden is definitely going to address the conditions that allowed for a blight like Trump to flourish and doesn’t believe it will go away on its-oh. Oh dear.
Don't forget that Don Jr and Rudy Giuliani also whipped up the crowd with more statements.
@Hello Scott how are you doing?
Wow I needed this episode.
Hurray Georgia 2.0!...interrupted by the “troubles”...Hurray Biden!
Wow, does someone else that watches PSA know what the Irish Troubles was? I only have a very limited knowledge of it but I know what you are referring to.
And Hurry Biden
More like the first failed coup of the Reichstag
I have asked my rep and my senator to read the content of the 14th Amendment into the record, and to remind their colleagues that in 1860 reps and senators who were involved in sedition and insurrection were expelled from the congress. Therefore the reps and senators who supported the insurrection and were constantly inflaming the people who attacked the Constitution and the Congress, should be expelled and banned from holding public office again.
"No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."
@Jay. Good for you. I'm not like a stalker, but I still feel kind of cre cre because I call and email my Senators and Reps-not for potholes or complaining about speed limits, but not that long ago, I called Mitt Romney and said this is not good.....never heard. I've contacted Susan Collins a lot, trying to explain sociopathy, and that the very near future was not looking good. Tammy Duckworth's office is by far the most responsive. She knows she represents the People not the money, or the special interests, or the person in the WH.
Let's be careful saying this was a "failure" of security, it's extremely apparent that there were people at the top sending down orders to let this happen.
If they had morals and were given orders that might hurt someone they should have disobeyed them. The Chief of Capitol Police resigned today because he knew he would be fired.
It's hard to believe that in the US with all its obsession with national security you can just freely break in a full Capitol without any resistance after an announced 'stop the steal' speech, where plans like this where discussed all over the internet.
It seems as if Donald Trump, maybe with the help of some close loyals, planned this thing out and abused their power to make sure that the security wouldn't arrive, knowing that he has nurtured his leverage over the police. Although this is merely speculation, it doesn't seem too far-fetched.
@@hydrocharis1 Indeed! Which is why there's no doubt in my mind that this was set up. And they might've gotten away with a too if it weren't for their unbelievable stupidity and disorganization.
I have the same feeling.
When armed insurgents were allowed to inhabit the Michigan State Capitol, why did anyone think that they wouldn't try for the bigger prize?
Same from Oregon!
DC needs statehood asap
"American Carnage" - it was right there in his inaugural speech.
It took him 4 years but he finally got his wish.
I'm proud of Georgia.
I think every Democrat also recognized that Mitch McConnell's Senate leadership was also on the ballot. That's a huge deal.
Agreed we just wanted to watch the Senate race and had the TV on. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. We live in Pennsylvania and through your site volunteered for Georgia.
19:12 - Not just FOX, Matt Gaetz stood on the house floor and said there were reports that it was ANTIFA, and also said that it was the first time he hadn't heard the Democrats screaming about defunding the police. A real prince, that one.
He’s an absolute disgrace.
@@cathyl2338 He even looks as disgusting as he is.
C’mon, Jon, say it! - “It’s not good, Dan.”
It's "Not great, Dan".
I hadn’t heard that about the computers going down. That is very interesting.
I've been waiting all day!
I’ve followed Stacey for years- she needs to replace Tom Perez at the DNC. 💯💯💯
Side note- now that the election is over, please do a video on how people can stay engaged and involved in politics. Especially how to get paying jobs in the field! 🇺🇸💙
tom perez is worthless biological mass.
I would be shocked if it didn't turn out a large number of the cops took the day off to join the insurgence.
I read one of them was a freaking state rep from Wisconsin or something. I think I got the state wrong, but a sitting lawmaker. Just wild
r@@PaperRaines a West Virginia lawmaker was arrested, that may be who you're thinking of
@@zarasha8220 yes, I got the state wrong. And thankfully he's been arrested
This conversation is incredibly therapeutic. Thank you Crooked Media.
Signed,
A friend of the pod.
Got some ice cream and wine... I am ready
Can we ALL just acknowledge the maturity, sincerity, kindness and love that radiates from Senator-Elect Warnock's eyes, his cute dimples and his smile? Warnock and Ossoff are BOTH GOOD MEN, I feel it in my bones , [ Ditto for Jamal Bowman , who won his seat for NYC Bronx, Westchester ] I have watched their interviews and I am impressed that these Freshmen are going to work for THE PEOPLE when they enter Congress.
Brilliant episode. Thank you very much!
There were police or national guards standing 3 deep in front of the Lincoln Memorial during the BLM protests!
I don't get all these officials talking about how many days or working days Trump has left when this coup was done in hours🤔!!! So I suggest every one focus on the hours that he has left because I hate to throw a wrench in these intellectual people's infomercials but, people who rally or riot don't take weekends off!!🤭
Me @ Jon yelling, “fuck Ted Cruz!”: 😍😈😍😈
Me @ Jon’s voice cracking when speaking about Warnock & Ossoff’s wins: 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Yesterday was one hell of a week.
yesterday WAS one HELL of a week/month!
And I think I heard Dan's voice crack speaking about black women voters. That hit me in a way I need to ruminate on.
Kay Ink honestly, being furloughed and stuck in my apartment since March and having basically no social contact this whole time -while watching pods and knitting to pass all of my time- has created a probably not-necessarily-normal amount of emotional attachment to the guys. 😂
For some reason just thinking about the democratic win in Georgia for Rev Warnock makes me want to cry. How he overcame the racist and bigoted attacks with grace and hope and he WON is just truly moving. It makes me believe that good things can still happen in politics.
I can get the news anywhere but you guys help me process the trauma.
Perfect. Thanks for the words I couldn't find!
Stacy Abrams should head up the DNC because she can do it. I have not been impressed with the recent leaders of the DNC, in fact, I think they suck but Ms. Abrams is a winner.
Sameday Express Impeach Service.....we should try it out sounds great to me
"Why weren't the cops beating the terrorists?"
'Same reason you never see Hannah Montana punch Miley Cyrus.'
They were on the same Team
Yeah! And why isn’t Batman cracking down on Bruce Wayne more???
Answer me this: How DOES Peter Parker get all those pictures of Spider-man?
I called my House Rep to tell her i support impeachment. It would keep him from running for office in the future.
We need 52 Stacey Abrams We need her influence as an American. We need her as a role model. We need her experience. Her ability to identify the holes and where and what is needed.
Yay! Was waiting for u guys to weigh in on yesterday's forseeable but horrific siege. We were all freakin out over here, too :(
PPS: your podcasts have been exceptional and I've really enjoyed listening to your ideas. Thanks guys. From a Brit who is pleased to have America back in safe hands.
Hearing Romney and Graham speak just felt like...Scarecrow and Penguin getting on Gotham TV to speak out against Joker. Like, great on you for standing against the bigger problem but you two have /also/ been problems.
Amen.
Stacy Abrams needs to be head of the DNC. She would be wasted as governor of Georgia.
She would disagree after she thanked you for your compliment. Ms Abrams says she's dedicated to a fair fight almost felt like she was talking about her calling. I know what that's like. Raising others up is her joy.
thanks team!
Happy New Year. . .
great move finishing with Georgia - left us feeling a bit of that initial joy
Democrats turned out more then republicans yes, but I also think that democrats and traditionally disenfranchised voters thought that even if they did vote it wouldn’t matter and Biden winning showed them they could flip the state. They then (in my opinion) knew they could so they did. And we all thank them. I honestly hope Georgia inspires more voters in the south who think because their state is red there isn’t a chance to flip it (republicans also make it really hard for them to vote) do whatever they need to do to vote, turn out and vote people in who will make voting as easy as it is here in Washington. Thank you Georgia.
Stacy Abrahams is the miracle,!!
I prayed a lot for November and then for Georgia. Now I hope Biden/Harris have a great administration. Georgia also thanks to Stacy Abrams.
You two are political masterminds. I think every administration should watch your podcast! Everything you said was so on point! Thank you!
It sounds to me a perfect storm occurred in Georgia. The wave must continue in 2022. I believe it can . Like you said Jon the work has to continue no matter what. We must continue to fight no matter win or lose, the fight is ongoing.
An emotional Jon Favreau mainlining coffee is the energy i need right now.
A friend of mine recently went out in the field working for the secret service. She and her coworkers along with DC metro received death threats all morning yesterday because people's weapons and illicit items were being confiscated upon entry to the Trump rally. I shudder to think of how much worse this could have been if so many more of those individuals had been armed.
Oh wow. Disgusting ppl.
Curious :why didn't they have more Secret Service on hand? Would love to know.
What about the fact that DeVoss and Chao resigned so that they could get out of the 25th Amendment?
Yep. They've both added to their billions on the taxpayer's dime. They don't need to get into trouble with Trump's violent base by actually doing something for the country.
I know Biden said he was gonna leave Wray at FBI as long as Trump didn't fire him but after this; clean house. Wray was mostly okay and I didn't really care until yesterday - he should be replaced.
