Chapter 1: What are the implications of the DOJ's actions?
So if Matt Gaetz gets confirmed to be the Attorney General, that's going to change the whole dynamic because he, for a long time, has been... pretty steadfast in defense of president Trump in defense of the weaponization of the DOJ. And so if he's at the top of the leadership there, The whole dynamic of our justice system is going to change. Wow, that's exciting.
What do you think is going to happen with the J6 stuff now that Matt's going to be in charge?
Well, right now, it's interesting. The DOJ, I think, is trying to find themselves, trying to figure out what to do in reaction. I saw some articles and headlines that people are horrified and terrified in the DOJ. Everybody's joking about it, shredding their files and stuff, trying to get rid of some of the evidence.
Because in my opinion, the prosecutions of the J6ers, of President Trump and some other people were completely illegitimate. And so right now we're observing a couple of things happen. One, some cases have been paused and stopped. So there's one gentleman called William Pope. He's a J sixer. He's been representing himself. He's on X at free state. We'll been doing a great job.
And his trial was scheduled for December of this year. He just filed a motion to continue that trial. So it was a January 6th trial and he, he already got one charge dismissed, but it was still scheduled for trial. So we asked for a continuance and, And he got it. He got it. Another Jay Sixer, Steve Baker, got it.
But there are other judges that are saying that the Trump victory doesn't necessitate a continuance. Right. The basis for the continuance was because Trump won. He has promised that they're going to commute sentences or issue pardons. So why do we need to have full blown jury trials?
Waste in paneling a full jury, waste multiple weeks of trials that will probably get reversed if we can just avoid that. So some judges are continuing the trials out. Other judges are not. And what we just saw yesterday was an NFL player called Antoine Williams just got arrested. So four years after the fact, he was allegedly there on January 6th.

Chapter 2: How are Trump's legal battles influencing politics?
The arrest warrant and the indictment were filed after the election. So the DOJ knows that a new boss is coming in. There's going to be a new sheriff in town. And they're still arresting J6ers four years later. And they found this guy with like a key fob. That was on his person on January 6th, and apparently he also wore that key fob when he was on the sidelines at the NFL. Wow.
We have these FBI agents that are spending all their time, we joke, playing Where's Waldo, trying to find these little things to match up these individuals, and they're still prosecuting them, even though the American people have vetoed They're concerned, in my opinion, over January 6th, right?
If January 6th was the biggest thing in people's minds, if they were really concerned about an insurrection and Trump being this monstrous dictator, they wouldn't have voted for him. And so I think what they have signaled is that there's supposed to be a changing of the guard. And I think a reasonable, responsible DOJ would recognize that and they wouldn't be
racing to try to make last minute arrests, right? The game is over and they're still trying to put points up on the board. That's insane. It's pretty reprehensible. I can't believe they're still arresting people. Filing after the election is over, just dropped it.
And I think that's largely because you have a bunch of FBI agents and individuals who've been working on these cases for four years and they want something to show for it. And I think that they're animated politically. I think this is a partisan prosecution. They want to go after their political opponents. And this is their last last gasp to do it. Yeah. And Jack Smith, right.

When you hear people saying that these agencies have been weaponized, and you see people on the left saying that's just a conspiracy theory, how do you respond to that?
We've been covering all of the Trump prosecutions and the civil cases for years, and we can go through them one by one if we want to, but the DOJ has been weaponized. We can just look at a couple examples of it. I mean, one, there has been no president or former president who's ever been prosecuted in American history. 234 years of historical precedent.
We had functional immunity in this country, right? We've had many other presidents beside Trump. I know that the current political environment wants to make Trump this horrendous figure, but we've had other presidents historically who've committed crimes. One example might be Obama. who eliminated American citizens with drone strikes without any due process, right?
Those are crimes that you could allege occurred under a prior president, and if you wanted to, you could make criminal prosecutions against that president based on the interpretations of the law. But nobody has done that for 234 years. We've all given the president functional immunity until very recently when Jack Smith and the Democrats got in charge. They –
appointed Jack Smith, but they didn't actually appoint Jack Smith. So just to back up a little bit, 234 years, no criminal prosecutions, zero against American presidents. A lot of other presidents did arguably bad things, but nobody prosecuted them because they had immunity.

Chapter 4: Why is the January 6th prosecution controversial?
Chapter 5: What are the latest updates on election security measures?
Chapter 6: How does the E. Jean Carroll case affect Trump's image?
Chapter 7: What is the role of media in shaping political narratives?
appointed Jack Smith, but they didn't actually appoint Jack Smith. So just to back up a little bit, 234 years, no criminal prosecutions, zero against American presidents. A lot of other presidents did arguably bad things, but nobody prosecuted them because they had immunity.
We can come back to the immunity conversation because the Supreme Court came back down and confirmed there is presidential immunity. in spite of what Jack Smith and the Democrats were arguing.
So they brought these cases knowing that they were against the great weight of American precedent, and they should have known that there was functional immunity for the president, but they prosecuted him anyways. Jack Smith is the special counsel. You may have heard his name. He was appointed by Merrick Garland, by the Department of Justice, to prosecute President Trump.
The problem is, is he's not legitimately appointed. So we can get into the weeds here a little bit. I'll try to simplify it. But in order for a prosecutor, right, a prosecutor has tremendous power. They can put you in jail. They can prosecute you, take away your freedom, take away your liberty. So in our Constitution, we have checks and balances. Before you can appoint a U.S.
attorney who has all of those powers, the president has to make an appointment. In our Constitution, it's called the Appointments Clause. We also have the Appropriations Clause. So you have to properly appoint somebody into a powerful position before you give them the power to prosecute somebody. And they have to be in that position to get the appropriate money.
So millions of dollars were going to be used to prosecute Trump. So this person has to be appropriately appointed. Yeah. It happens every day. U.S. attorneys are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. We know that the DOJ can do this because they appointed a special prosecutor to prosecute Hunter Biden. And in the Hunter Biden case, that guy's name was David Weiss.
He was a legitimate U.S. attorney who was appointed by the president and who was confirmed by the Senate. Right. So the DOJ, the Department of Justice, knows how to do that. They know how to find U.S. attorneys and make them special counsels. The special counsel, Robert Mueller, was at one point a U.S. attorney. He investigated Trump. Right. So they know how to do that.
This cycle, though, Jack Smith was never appointed by a president. Never was never a U.S. attorney and was never confirmed by the Senate. Wow. Ever. So similar to Kamala. So to Kamala was never appointed as a special counsel, but. Jack Smith was – so the way that this worked is Merrick Garland, right? So the White House, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland is the attorney general.
Very powerful position, runs the Department of Justice. He appointed Jack Smith, but the president did not. So that entire appointment is illegal. Whoa. All of Jack's cases are illegal. And it's not just me saying that his case was dismissed in Florida. The classified documents case. You probably heard this case. They raided him. They raided Trump's residence. They went into his wife's bedroom.

Chapter 8: How does the DOJ's approach differ based on political affiliations?
If you go back through them, Obama got 60 something million votes. Clinton got 60 something million, then Biden would have gotten 81 million, right? So we're in the 60, 60, 80, then we're back down into the 60 range, even if it is 69 or whatever the number turns out to be. So what happened there? Where did all those votes come from? And we covered the 2020 elections.
We saw a lot of very strange things happening then. I'm of the opinion that the election was rigged and that our government was responsible for it. It happened in multiple different ways. And we were watching for it again this cycle, watching to see if they were going to do it again. Did you see anything this time around? We did. Yeah, we did.
We saw a lot of attempts and a lot more litigation from the Republicans to stop it. Philadelphia, right? Philadelphia, the big ones. Well, I mean, the biggest one was they tried to throw Trump off the ballot. Right. Oh, yeah. So in Colorado, they threw he was off the ballot there. And then Maine was following suit and Michigan would have followed suit.
But the Supreme Court came back nine to zero and said, that's insane. You guys can't do that. So they put him back on the ballot. But that was, you know. the most obvious form of cheating is to just disqualify your opponent. They did that to RFK though. They did that to RFK. Yeah. And they beat up Bernie Sanders too. I mean, they do it to everybody.
Those guys didn't have the money to fight it or the influence to fight it.
Exactly. Right. Right. And they tried to put Trump in jail. They tried to take away all his money. They tried to kick him off the ballot. So I don't know how else you can weaponize the justice system or the levers of power than those three things. I mean, it's pretty egregious. Yeah. If he didn't have the money to fight it, I mean, most people would have just given up. Right.
And the people and the people were behind him, too. He had support no matter what. Right. People kept seeing these indictments. And I think that they were thinking the indictments would shake off his support. Oh, he's a convicted felon, which is kind of a misnomer. Right. And he's got 94 charges. They kept using big numbers like this is this big scare tactic. But I think the people saw through it.
And he's fortunate that he has that support, right? I think we're all fortunate because I can't imagine anybody else who could weather what he went through. And by him weathering that, we get to see really the rot that's in our justice system and how perverted it is. all of these components are. And we don't want that in our country.
And I think people spoke absolutely pretty resoundingly. I couldn't believe some States didn't require ID. I thought that was a rumor, but then you see that chart where all the States she won didn't require it. It's like, what the hell is going on?
