The Majority Report with Sam Seder · 3676 - How Protest Became Terrorism; Supreme Court Run Amok w/ Sufia Khalid, Chris Geidner · 29 Jun 2026 podcast

You can be charged as providing material support to terrorists under that statute.

And I'm pointing that out because you're mentioning, how does this happen under law?

This is so disparate, so disproportionate.

And in a lot of these novel cases, you only have a handful of cases to compare it to.

But we have 1,500-plus recent cases, federal criminal cases, to compare this to where the government didn't do this.

They actually got it right in those cases.

And those were the January 6th Capitol rioters.

Except in that case, 140 officers were injured, broken bones, some with career-ending injuries.

And we had a lot of speech leading up to the riot where the people that were charged, they said that they wanted to kill members of Congress, hunt down members of Congress, that they were taking their weapons there.

Many of them took arsenals of weapons to the Capitol.

And in those 1,500 cases, we didn't see any prosecutions under this statute.

But that conduct absolutely would have qualified for prosecution under that statute.

Absolutely.

And if it's about the lives of law enforcement, 140 officers were injured much more severely there.

But when you bring those charges into the terrorism space, they qualify for this sentencing enhancement.

Everyone was asking, how did we end up with these sentences?

The terrorism enhancement is a rarely used, the most severe federal sentencing enhancement that exists.

And all it requires is that the offense was calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government through intimidation or retaliation.

Also, that intent would have applied very clearly to any of the January 6 protesters.

But in those 1,500-plus cases, the government didn't even seek the terrorism enhancement in the vast majority of them.
