Trump expresses concerns over legal rulings and promotes conspiracy theory: Trump raises doubts about potential legal consequences, while spreading a baseless theory about Twitter's role in the Capitol riots
According to recent reports, former President Donald Trump is expressing concerns about potential legal rulings against him, specifically regarding disqualification cases under the 14th Amendment and the criminal case in Washington D.C. Trump has also been promoting a new conspiracy theory on social media, suggesting that Twitter prevented him from invoking the Insurrection Act by deleting his call for people to go home during the January 6th Capitol riots. However, it's important to note that this theory is not based on factual evidence, as Trump's request for people to go home was not deleted by Twitter until after the Capitol riots had already ended. Despite the lack of factual basis, this theory further adds to the ongoing speculation and controversy surrounding Trump's actions leading up to and during the Capitol riots.
Trump's Acknowledgement of Capitol Insurrection and Potential Use of Insurrection Act: Trump's recognition of the Capitol insurrection as an 'insurrection' and his potential use of the Insurrection Act could incriminate him, as evidence shows Oath Keepers were ready to act based on his call and could lead to seditious conspiracy charges against him.
Donald Trump's recent social media post acknowledging the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection as an "insurrection" and suggesting the use of the Insurrection Act could potentially incriminate him. The Insurrection Act does not require a call for citizens to disperse before its invocation. Trump's post links him to the Oath Keepers, who were charged with seditious conspiracy and were waiting for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act before taking action. A letter from Oath Keepers leader Stuart Rhodes, urging Trump to use unprecedented measures to stay in power after the 2020 election, was presented as evidence at their trial. This could potentially lead special counsel Jack Smith to consider bringing seditious conspiracy charges against Trump.
Rhodes' Urge for Trump to Use Insurrection Act during Capitol Riots: Rhodes believed the Insurrection Act would grant Trump power to suppress the coup attempt and prevent Biden's inauguration. Trump's alignment with Rhodes further confirmed his intentions.
During the Capitol riots, Stewart Rhodes urged then-President Trump to use the Insurrection Act to suppress the coup attempt against him. Rhodes believed this law would grant Trump the power to mobilize the National Guard and militias. Rhodes' messages, presented at the insurrectionist trial, showed his desperation to prevent the "duly elected" Biden administration from taking office. Trump's subsequent repost of a message aligning himself with Rhodes further confirmed his intentions. Meanwhile, in a lighter vein, we learned about Fume, a sponsor of the podcast.

Trump's Unusual View on Capitol Rioters, Fume Introduces New Product: Former President Trump calls Capitol rioters 'hostages', promotes song about them. Fume releases new product, Solano fume, with discount code 'Midas'.
During a recent speech, former President Trump referred to individuals involved in the Capitol riots as "hostages" instead of prisoners, and even made a song with them that he often plays at his rallies. This raises questions about Trump's stance on the events of January 6th and the individuals involved. Meanwhile, unrelated to the political discussion, Fume is promoting their new product, the Solano fume, which is described as well-weighted, balanced, and fun to fidget with. It comes with a premium walnut barrel and onyx coated mouthpiece. Fume is offering a 10% discount for listeners using the code "Midas" when purchasing the journey pack.
Republican Denial of January 6th Capitol Insurrection: Despite clear evidence, some in the GOP downplay the violent nature of the January 6th Capitol insurrection, threatening our democratic institutions and the rule of law.
There are prominent figures within the Republican Party, such as James Comer, who deny the violent nature of the January 6th Capitol insurrection and label it as a "peaceful day" or a "rally that went bad." This narrative is being pushed despite clear evidence to the contrary, which is being presented in the January 6th committee hearings. The refusal to acknowledge the truth and the labeling of those who seek accountability as "liars" and "sociopaths" is a dangerous attempt to undermine the importance of facts and the rule of law. The Republican Party's behavior in this situation is a threat to our democratic institutions and the legal system. It is essential that we continue to demand justice and accountability and support efforts to hold those responsible for the insurrection accountable.
