One , two , three , four .
Hey , this is D-Night .
This is Carol , this is Ty .
You're listening to the Far and the Insurrection podcast and , of course , Citi Powell also had a video of her proper session released where she was explaining the plot to steal the voting machines and she says I would have looked at putting hit or in this is Should I read her ? I'll be Sydney you go ahead , do your thing , carol .
Go , I don't know what she sounds like , so I'm going to do it like this .
She sounds pretentious , but also country , but also ridiculous . I don't know if you can like pull it off .
Yeah , all of that , I would have looked at putting into a draft executive order .
No , no , it was perfect .
I would have looked at putting into an effect Dang it . I would have looked at putting into effect a provision Of a draft executive order that would have allowed the machines to be secured in four or five states or cities and see about doing a bipartisan or military or whatever everybody agreed on , and review of the machines .
Sparency Powell said that she Flynn , trump and Patrick burn the founder of overs dot com , or the only ones in the December 18th meeting who believed it was still possible For Trump to Trump the edge out . So yeah , my delays here have been caused by the website formerly known as Twitter . I just like a simple thing is scrolling . It's like nah .
All right , let me . Let me try it again . All right . So in part of her interview with prosecutors , cindy Powell was explaining what she thought would happen if she was appointed special counsel in order to further Trump's attempt to seal the 2020 election by season voting machine .
I would have looked at putting into effect a provision of a and we don't have to lay in the fucking order here Some bunch of letters and numbers Again , it sounds like you know some Emperor Palpatine shit order .
What allowed the machines to be secured in four or five states or cities and see about doing a bipartisan or military or what everybody agreed on review of machines forensically and like that .
Sounds rather anodyne , but what she's saying is she would use the military to go into states , seize the voting equipment and then tell everyone the fucking election was read , whether that's what the evidence showed or not .
And she also said that her Flynn Trump and Patrick Byrne , the former CEO of overcockcom I mean overstockcom the only ones in the December meeting , the decent , the meeting of infamy December 18th , where they were losing their mind and Rudy Giuliani was losing his shit and saying all kind of crazy stuff this , you know , this is pre face melting , also , pre Four
seasons , total landscaping Also , for , anyway , just Rudy Giuliani man , what a fucking legend . They were saying that . She was saying that they were the only ones to believe it was still possible for Trump to edge out Joe Biden , who at that point had won the electoral college vote .
And she said that's why she argued that needed to be a forensic examination of voting machines from places with quote the most statistical analogies or impossibilities , according to experts . And what she's saying there is that she believed there was a number of abnormalities with voting software that she got in a fucking dream .
Yeah .
And she's still showing that she didn't .
She's . I'm still getting a very good faith vibe from her . Not that I think she has good faith , but she's definitely presenting her case as such .
Well , she's presenting the fact that at the time she believed it , but like you have to remember that her beliefs are based on , like I don't know out of body , astral projection type shit .
No , she said expert . What did she say ? She's not being very forthcoming Anomalies , as stated by experts .
Yeah , she's not being very forthcoming about the origins of the expertise that suggested there was statistical anomalies . So , yeah , she's leaving that , that part out . You know , I just wanted to make sure we got that across and she was saying I wanted to show definitively if that's what it took so we could put it all to rest .
Oh , she's such the good guy , she wanted to .
Just she just wanted to show Sorry , sorry , her key , her testimony or whatever is such bullshit , yeah sugarcoating , using the military to like illegally see like there is no law that makes it legal for the military to seize state infrastructure . So yeah , just just wanted you guys to know that Don't let her sugarcoat a fucking coup Like .
Her testimony is probably more damning than anything we saw from Jenna Ellis , which is beyond bonkers , because Ellis was like yo boss said he ain't leaving , no matter what , and then he tried not to be tried as hard as to the point where you know he sent a fucking mom to attack Congress on January 6th .
So she was also saying the Trump wanted to point her special counsel , but based on the reactions of Mark Meadow Mark Meadow is in Rudy Giuliani , who went apoplectic and call her all types of crazy shit . She immediately got the sense that would not happen , of course , because he was calling her crazy bitch . Yeah .
And we're in . Rudy Giuliani , of course , had the wherewithal to be making judgment calls about the mental acuity . And yes , Rudy .
Giuliani was like being sensible at this point , calling her crazy and be like this , shit ain't never going to happen . And she said when she called Mark Meadow the next day to follow up on the idea of her being appointed special counsel , he quote essentially laughed and said you know , it's not going to happen .
And this is a fucking hilarious because , according to some records from the White House at that time , the city power was actually indeed appointed to be special counsel . Somehow that guy reneged . I don't know who was responsible for that . Maybe it was one of the best Sounds like Mark Meadows . No , I think it was one of the Pats , you know .
White House Counsel's office .
Patsy Baloney .
Patsy Baloney . Ty , are you still with us , patsy ?
Baloney .
I'm so glad you gave us your closing thoughts before you went to sleep .
You didn't go to sleep my way .
Yeah . So when asked by prosecutors about that proposition , power responded did I know anything about election law ? No , but I understand fraud from having been a prosecutor for 10 years and knew generally what the fraud suit should be if the evidence showed what I thought it showed .
So she was like I have no , absolutely no idea what the fuck it was I was doing . Which is fucking awesome , because even though she was an appointed special counsel and even after January 6th failed , she still went down to Georgia and stole the fucking data from the election systems down there .
That's absolutely fucking bananas that she like continued the endeavor even after the just just wild . They're all going to prison like one of the fuck .
But I , based on my data and knowledge , I thought there was fraud and I needed to to to coup .
I don't know who released these videos . It obviously wouldn't find it will . This is office . They have too much to lose and it probably wouldn't . L is a power either because , again , like they got sweetheart plea deals with finding will this . Why would they want to fuck that up ?
So it's probably one of the defendants who got the shit in discovery who's not planning to cooperate . But I think this is probably going to backfire because I imagine some of the other code offending to have yet to plead guilty . You're going to see this fucking video and like , oh , I'm fucked . How do I get a deal ?
Yeah , anyway , you know it's fucking bananas .
Do we get a deal ?
Yeah , just just wild , all right , moving on , if we're moving on from the most insane things in the history of American politics , you're like , all right , just another Tuesday .
Of course , you probably be listening to this on Wednesday , but also there was a revelation that , upon his final day in office in 2020 , january 20th I believe Trump called up Romney , who eliminated her last name because she did not want to be associated with democracy . Loving Mitt Romney , you know .
You know , after his fallout with with the MAGA side of the party , trump called her up the day he left office and said that , basically , if Republicans didn't get behind him and support him , he was going to leave the Republican Party and start his own MAGA party , basically threatening the whole of them fucking hostage .
And because they capitulated , like you see the fallout , the Republican Party is fucking doomed Like any remnants or vestiges of what once was a semi respectable political party , even though they've been insane the entirety of my lifetime . That's totally gone . The side is gone . It's total dumpster fire .
They had the opportunity to finally try and bury him , yep , and here we are . It's . 2023 is a presidential election year . They had all this time to figure out a way to try and beat him , no one came up with the plan , and now he's running wild with with the . He's running away with a 2024 nomination , even though he has been indicted multiple jurisdictions .
On any one counts , he's probably going to end up in prison .
Yeah , actually that pretty much sums it up . Yeah . Yeah , you know I don't really . I mean , it's a downside that we're even in this position at all , of course , but like I'm sick of just having a catastrophe narrowly avoided , but it's better than the alternative .
Oh yes , would you rather have like it , entirely unavoided and like we just live in catastrophe after catastrophe , because that's also an option , I'd probably be dead by now . Way to brighten things up on the podcast . Carol , you're our sunshine .
But I want to be dead by the way . Bunny runs .
I totally understand like the way things are going . At this point I wish something would just come along and put me out of my misery as well . Because the future is looking grim . It's looking , looking very grim , but yeah , it's just insane .
Like Trump Blackmail and the Republican Party Because , again , like if Trump splits and takes his voters with him , like the Republican Party ceases to exist .
And I guess that's why there was what Fourteen days between all of those Republican senators very loudly and very publicly condemning Trump for the , for the coup , and then all of a sudden , yeah , mark Meadows takes a trip down to Florida and then my , how they change to flipped overnight .
They're like , oh , trump's awesome . Let's not convict him of trying to overthrow the government .
Yeah , I was just kidding when I when I showed a spine for a minute .
Yeah , bananas . I mean , and this is the problem with the Republicans like they don't have the ability to think Look , game theory is probably An overly complex analytical explanation of what was going on here .
But like the inability to think forward to the future , just even in , like the short term I mean , you know , year sounds like a long time , but in political terms , like two years , four years is nothing .
And the fact that they couldn't see the long term implications of not convicting Trump in his impeachment trial , like like of course , if you don't , if you convict him , he can't run for office , you're free . And they were like we can't take the immediate political hit of convicting Trump , so we're going to let him run wild and take over the party .
And now here he is , like dooming them . I mean , they're probably going to lose in 2024 . Well , let me rephrase that they can't legitimately win in 2024 . So , whatever plan they have must be like another fucking crime . And that's that's the list of crimes . Where is it going to do ?
Like I've come to the conclusion that many of the it's not that they can't see forward , it's that that they don't have any good roots . So they , you know , they're living moment to moment and they'll just , they'll just do whatever the fuck it takes to make it another day in their world .
Yes that they don't , they just don't care about the consequences . Yes , the inability to put the short term incentive aside and focus on the long term consequences of short sided behavior . They like that ability .
It's anyway . No , it's not like , it's not about willpower , it's the lot of them are fucked and they you know what I'm saying Like they if they say a former president who would be going to prison , he can try .
Yeah , it's his incentive to try everything he possibly can to avoid going to prison because he knows there's no long term future where he doesn't go to prison .
Otherwise , All right , let me tell you what they should have done , Carol . It's 2021 . The impeachment trial has wrapped up . It's time for them to vote . Republicans want to get ready to drop , but they're scared if they come out against them . They're fucked . Here's what you do .
Only they could talk to each other in advance .
And they could . So here's what you do . You've got 50 dams already . All you need is 10 Republicans . Basically , you take everybody in the back , you give them straws . Whoever draws the 10 short straws , they're the ones who get to go out there and sacrifice their political careers for the greater good of the party . You know .
You set them up with some kind of fucking cushy ass job when they get voted out of office , where they can collect and pay check for the rest of their lives , and then the rest of the Republican Party gets to rail against the , the rhinos and the Democrats for for doing them a favor and reading them and their entire party of Trump weighing them down and just
took them out in far right .
you know states where they're not going to elect a Democratic senator .
Yeah , oh yeah , Even better , Be strategic about how you pick who which senators get to go out here , and you know stop giving them ideas . They ain't listening to this podcast , Carol . Once I told them this podcast was about how to stop insurrections , they cut this shit off .
But it's like . It's like hiring a hacker to make sure your security system is .
No , that's called a white hat . Ain't no white hats in the Republican Party ? Oh wait , I guess technically they'd be all white hoods , All right . So yeah , you see what .
I did there , so true and sad .
Now everyone who likes us is cutting the podcast off and they're like how old are you ? Got a dad ? It's like I'm almost 40 . All right , so there was a note that apparently was torn up in in Trump fashion in the White House from his time in the Oval Office after the election .
That was from Johnny Macinty , you know self-proclaimed fuckboy in Trump's orbit that he sent to the Army Secretary Because , if you don't remember this , like , the Army Secretary put out a statement near in the 2020 election saying the Army has no role in determining , like , the outcome of elections or policing them , and so on and so forth .
So for apparently , this set Trump off and Trump told Magity . He went happy , magity was like I'm on it and he sent the letter to those guys telling him hey , like if y'all put any more statements out , y'all fired , and that that note was ripped apart into pieces and in Trump fashion , as he is known to do , but apparently he did no not .
We have the National Archives to thank .
They keep to get a warrant to search inside of his rectum .
No , we have the National Archives to thank , apparently , for piecing the letter together and in showing us that Trump intended to retaliate against people who weren't willing to .
Ten pawns . They're far more .
They're far less important than what's asked in this letter . But yeah , I mean this is basically Trump threatening to retaliate against military officials for saying they're not going to engage in a military coup . Just just more proof of you know . Trump's intent has been on state . What's the legal term ? Carol Men's Reia .
Reia , yes .
Yeah , so yeah , this pretty fucking damning information . The damning information never stops . If only we had like a 14 hour podcast we could cover all of it .
I'm going to sleep some time , but then we would get to start getting to international news and yeah , all right .
Well , we've got a couple more , just a couple more topics to run through real quick . One thing that happened the other day apparently didn't get enough media attention , which I found to be totally insane and bonkers , is so the there are Secret Service agents in the DC area who are assigned to protect Joe Biden's granddaughter who's , I believe , she .
She works for a law firm . She's very successful lawyer in that area and apparently there appear to be three individuals attempting to break into an unmarked Secret Service vehicle and one of the Secret Service agents assigned to his granddaughter fired some shots and the individuals were saying , fleeing in a in a separate vehicle .
Now , according to the story , like it's just like all right , the vehicle was empty . There appear to be three people trying to break into the car , for whatever reason , and shots are fired by Secret Service agent . And everyone's telling me hey , man , nothing to this story , it's just some carjackers . Ok , yeah , I trust absolutely nothing .
That the Secret Service says , like , given we can't even figure out what happened with all the fucking emails from January 6th , so I'm not stupid . Like I watched January 6th unfold , there were like thousands of fucking insurrection is trying to break into the Capitol building and kill Congress . You know how many shots for fire One One .
They fall for hours and you telling me , like a simple carjacking by some unarmed dudes is going to call for a Secret Service agent to fire his gun ? Like , absolutely , not , absolutely more to this story . I ain't fucking stupid , I ain't boo-boo to fool , I wasn't born yesterday .
Like , of course , we're never going to know exactly what it is that happened , but I could clearly link this Look , people on the right know who Joe Biden's grandkids are because they talk about them fuckers all the time , all the time , all the time .
And like this wouldn't be the first incident of violence instigated by Trump and his supporters to you know public figures , public left-leaning figures , of course , we had the fucker who was at the Capitol on January 6th show up around Obama's house trying to figure out how to get into some kind of underground tunnel to get into Obama's house . Kill Obama .
We had all them fucking guns in the van and this was after Trump . Re-truth and re-truth . I'm sorry .
That's what he calls lying .
Yeah , I mean it's , yes , All right . Like he reposted on untruth social Supposedly Obama's address , and the motherfucker showed up there Like the dude breaking in Nancy Pelosi's house , who , who ended up trying to beat her husband , beat her husband's head in with a hammer . Like he just got convicted .
Like there are numerous instance of Trump inspired violence against figures on the left and like , of course , I can't prove that this is a similar such instance , but it is pretty fucking suspicious that like again , like law enforcement agents , especially Secret Service agents , you fire a gun , you better have a pretty fucking good reason and I know it was suspect
because guess who was . Like hey , man , law enforcement shouldn't be firing at unarmed people . Fox News , you ain't never heard him do that shit .
Yes , I didn't zone out and look at Twitter .
Yeah , I'm just saying Judge Jeanine , quote unquote . Judge was defending the cops who shot Breonna Taylor in they sleep , but she's out here like , oh , the Secret Service agents shouldn't be fine . Okay , get the fuck out of here Also don't protect democratic people .
Like this is the party of when the looting starts , the shooting starts , and like I just okay , anyway , so and finally this . This happened a couple of weeks ago , but I just wanted to point it out because , of course , we're like we're always . Well , you know , I'm always on the side of hey , you know , you gotta watch out for Jack Smith .
He's investigating everything . Well , apparently some investigation , like some parts of the investigation , are being wrapped up . I mean , apparently they're not coming to any conclusions . Uh , when it as it pertains to charging Trump's campaign and Trump's super PAC , those investigations have wrapped , they are closed .
And while I think it's not ideal , like because I feel like you know the fundraising fraud , the same way they got Steve Bannon , that's probably the easiest thing , it's probably the easiest thing to prove in court . It's fucking paper case . It's like it's like this Trump or trial , like with the Trump or trial , all you look at the fucking documents .
Is what's on the documents accurate ? No , all right , it's fraud . So , like the fundraising and then not spending the money on the things that were promised , and then like the money just disappearing in the Trump's pockets , like probably easy , easily provable fraud which could shut down his PACs and the feds can seize all that money . Well , they're not doing that .
Well , that's not ideal . What it does suggest is , whatever the scope of their investigation is , like it's , it's no longer going to expand . They're pulling back on the reins as far as , like , the number of things they're going to continue to pursue at this point . And it is at least that's what I believe this signals .
Yeah , okay , I got anything to add , feel free , you don't have to .
No .
No yeah .
I don't doubt again , that's okay , I was rambling .
You can't handle this world , but not in a way where you have to be too worried about me , it's okay , I have OCD about the end of democracy , so like I just continue to go on and on about everything . But we , we , I've seen good indications recently .
I mean , last week's elections were great for Democrats and therefore democracy . The idea I mean if we still to the extent that we still have a shot at it the places that have direct democracy , like the , you know , ohio for the constitutional amendments or whatever sounds like your closing thoughts .
You got to save that because we need to choose a shithole of the week All right . Yeah , so do you have any nominees ? By any chance perhaps ?
Are you ?
okay , there you getting sleeping , did I keep you up too long , I'm sorry .
I'm getting tired . I'm sleepy , doughnut .
Todd , you got any nominees for the shithole of the week award by any chance ? Republicans , they can't . They they , they aren't eligible as a party . That's all we talk about . How fucking bad they are . It's not nominated .
That was like the whole thing .
No , we got to be more specific than just Republicans . I mean James Palmer , all right , yeah , look man trying to impeach Biden for loaning money to his brother after he loaned the exact same dollar amount to his . Like Biden loan $200,000 to his brother . As it turns out , james Comer loaned $200,000 to his brother .
You are here by awarded the shithole of the week award .
Yeah , Jesus Christ .
My God man .
Fucking man , I can't His voice like in his face . Grates my mother fucking nerves and it is so incredulous to me .
Like , and he need to eat a fucking salad too . Bro your blood pressure got to be up there , I'm sorry . Well , so that's not good Use of vinegar red dressing . I am anyway All right , Carol , continue with your closing thoughts . Ty , you've already given us yours , so you're off the hook .
Oh , my closing thoughts are just explaining why I was zoning out because of oh , because I won't shut the fuck up .
I'm sorry .
Being overwhelmed . But I was saying , yeah , in the places where people had a chance at true representative of no , just straight democracy , it's gone really well . So I'm hoping people say like , oh , if they're just running on abortion , that's not enough . Like it seems like it is , it is enough .
As long as I mean I hope the Democrats don't get too splintered and remember you can't fight enemies from the outside if you're ignoring enemies from within . I don't know , no , you're a tram now . What Is that exactly what he said ? That is what he said .
The .
I knew , I just heard that somewhere . No but seriously , I'm not saying we should fucking execute them , no , but it's just , it's . That's another layer of my anxiety , like the skewing of , like my ally ship . I have to with the Israel , israel , hamas , conflicts , war , whatever you want to call it .
Thank you for accurately describing that . By the way , the number of people are like Israel . It's the Israel Palestine . It's not a conflict between Israel and Palestine . Hamas , the fucking , attacked Israel in the most terrific experience they've had in 70 years . It's a war between Israel and a terror group . Anyway , I'm sorry , continue .
I know it's just being like feeling alienated on both sides of the political spectrum .
Do you need a ?
hug . No , carol's a very joey . When she said that , like she goes , shabas Love it .
She was making fun of your pronunciation of Hamas , hamas .
Anyway , yeah , I'm sorry you're feeling alienated . We love you . Like you want to come give us a hug through the computer screen here you go .
I hope that made you feel a little better . I wasn't trying to complain , I'm just saying , like it's hard to be fully present , something's not right .
I'm just saying like it's hard to be fully present sometimes these days because , like , the world is so fucking overwhelming . Well , Dave wants to take me to New York , because that's where you're still on , girl , and to go to .
They don't know who Dave is . Yeah , it's not Okay , oh yeah , rewind .
Yeah , all right , hi , do you have any closing thoughts after ? My chilling off .
She gave us .
No , she already gave them to us , like four , the princesses of closing thoughts .
She gave them to us like four minutes into the podcast Carol .
Yeah , now you'll have that big loud noise to go find it Rinse your teeth with them .
She's off the hook .
Thanks , carol , you're just as good as a button that makes a noise that goes beep .
Way to make yourself valuable . All right , as for my closing thoughts , I'm just gonna give you my thoughts off the Twitter . I'm sorry for recycling , but again , if you just happen to miss it On Twitter , yesterday I posted a tweet , I guess , on Twix yesterday I guess that's what we're calling it , because X is just fucking lame , we can't call it that .
So I was talking about the problems currently facing our democracy in terms of the nature of the Republican Party . So here's the thing about Trump going full . Nazi Trump isn't even the main problem . In all likelihood , he's going to lose next year and end up in prison yeah , if he somehow manages to cheat his way into office .
Of course , our democracy is over as it currently stands . Biden is more popular with Democrats than Trump is with Republicans . The media won't ever tell you that , but if Biden voters turn out , meaning us Trump loses , we'll save that conversation for another day .
The real problem with Trump going full fourth Reich , with plans to install tens of thousands of loyalists in the government and the military , invoking the Insurrection Act on day one and filling the streets with the military and rounding up people and throwing them in a concentration camps , is that that isn't a Trump specific plan . It's a Republican plan .
They're all laying on it . So we've all seen what's in project 2025 and not a single GOP presidential candidate has condemned it . That's because if Trump somehow isn't the nominee next year and they win , they're going to follow through with it themselves . It doesn't take the entirety of the executive branch being corrupted to lose our democracy .
You put a few people in key positions in federal agencies , intelligence agencies and military positions being held open by a certain GOP senator which we won't name and with a right wing conservative Supreme Court on the payroll of white wing right I keep saying white wing because you know Freudian fucking slip White wing .
You say white wing .
I did With the Supreme Court on the payroll of right wing billionaires . There's no one to stop them if they get control of the White House . And I'm not being an alarmist . Like I said , if we do our jobs right , biden will win in 2024 . The problem is , the project 2025 can easily become project 2029 or project 2033 .
It doesn't fucking matter , because it doesn't matter which Republican is at the helm . It only matters if they win . If they ever win , at least , as the party is currently constituted , it is all over and once in power , just like Jenna Ellis told us , they ain't never leave an office . Republicans win in 2024 or 2028 or 2032 , etc . Etc .
They won't wait until they've lost their reelection bid to stage a January 6 . Like who ? Absolutely not . They're going to start dismantling democracy on day one in office so that by the time they have to run for reelection , elections won't mean anything . And I keep harping on the failures of mainstream media .
And , of course , there going to be a problem in 2024 , but again , we'll save that conversation for another day . But they should be screaming this from the mountaintop , not even for the more altruistic motivation of saving our democracy and saving me from a concentration camp or , worse , out of self-preservation .
Priority number one for Republicans won't be rounding up immigrants or sending the military to the border , whatever stupid shit they were promising . It'll be a GOP version of the night of long knives , where they kill off their political opponents inside and outside of the party . At the top of that list , the media .
Carol , I hope that gives you some sense of comfort and that concludes this episode of part of the interaction .
