Importantly, tonight we have Speaker Nancy Pelosi joining us, and im not sure where this story would be if she had not appointed that january Six Committee. So true. This begins with that very difficult and somewhat controversial decision to move forward without the candidates that Kevin Mccarthy wanted on that committee, and the work that they did, maybe the foundation of where we are today. Im really eager to hear how she did it and how she made it work so well. Gonna be a great show. Thanks, alex. Well, yesterday, as i began reading the newest indictment of donald trump, i wondered if this indictment would exist without nancy pelosi. The roadmap for the conspiracies described in this indictment was provided to the Justice Department by nancy pelosi through the work of the january Six Committee that she created. On the darkest day of the history of american president ial transitions of power, january six, 2021, america was lucky. But nancy pelosi was Speaker Of The House. As long tru
Proceeding, and conspiring against the rights of voters. It ties these to the violent attack of trumps voters at the capitol on january 6th. Special counsel jack smith spoke on that after it was filed. It was fueled by lies. Lies by the defendant, targeted at obstructing a Bedrock Function of the u. S. Government, a nations process of collecting, counting, and certifying the results of the president ial election. The men and women of Law Enforcement who defended the u. S. Capital on january 6th, are our heroes. They are patriots, and they are the very best of us. Since the attack on our capitol, the Department Justice has remained committed to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for what happened that day. This case has brought consistent with that commitment, and our investigation evander individuals continues. The indictment names trump as the only defendant, but it describes six coconspirators working with him to contest joe bidens win in 2020. Trump, no surpris
Lays out trumps defense, claiming trump was just following orders from a trusted attorney, john eastman. Eastmans attorney is outfront, along with famed constitutional scholar lawrence tribe. Plus, um in flames. Putins military Recruitment Centers are being attacked against russia.

Ever had to respond to on the call for ocean berlin. And this is the day the today. And i was in the field, charging donald j trump. Were entitled to understand what the charges are. Were entitled to do our own investigation, the tax on our nations capital. On january 6th, 2021. Was unprecedented assault seat of american democracy with the pricing and store and the 2020 election with all these irregularities going on was fueled by, lies lies by the defendants and we get this and diving and they want to go to trial in 90 days. Does that sound like justice to you spend it must be presumed innocent until Proven Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Also on the day, european states began evacuate getting their nationals from need, their fears were growing. They could end up trapped in the west african country following a military cool and rising regional tensions. This is the one point we really felt that sense of insecurity. We knew that everything to change at any moment. A
Its very significant. The weight of resources are no longer in your favor, i dont care how much money you necessarily have. What theyre doing now is likely expected a not guilty plea where he will formally tell the court he has notice of all the charges against him, and they will set some date in the future in terms of when he will have to either have discovery provided to him, there likely is not going to be a Motion Schedule for the things that you would argue about what would come into evidence, thats going to be longer down the road. But the notion of a rap sheet is so significant with these different indictments, particularly because of this reason normally if somebody has charges against them, trials in the same vicinity, youre talking about maybe if they are convicted theyre going to run concurrent sentences, meaning this one will run on top of the other and the other. Its not going to be youll serve five years for this one, then ten years for another, five for the next. It will
