Peter Navarro, recently went on Ari Melbourne's MSNBC show,
to talk about the capitol riots on January 6th,
which of course we are about to note the one year anniversary of.
And I thought the way this conversation went down, was really fascinating,
especially since Peter Navarro doesn't seem to know,
what qualifies as a coup let's watch.
>> And was simply this, we had over 100 congressmen, and
senators on capitol hood ready to implement the sweep.
The sweep was simply that,
we were gonna challenge the results of the election in the six battleground states.
They were Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia,Georgia, Wisconsin,
Nevada, and basically, these were the places where we believed that.
If the votes were sent back to those battleground states, and looked at again,
that there would be enough concern amongst the legislatures.
That most all of those states, would decertify the election.
>> Yeah,you just described this plan,
as a way to take an election where the outcome was established,
by independent secretaries of state, by the voters of those states.
And legal remedies have been exhausted with the supreme court, never even taking
let alone siding with any of the claims, that you just referred to.
So, legally, they went nowhere, and
then you're describing a way that the incumbent hold on, you will get your turn.
I just let you go for a while, let's go this back and forth sir then,
you will use the incumbent losing parties power.
That was the Republican Party that was losing power to overtake, and
reverse that outcome, do you realize you are describing a coup?
>> No, I totally reject many of your premises there.
>> So, there are military coups, and then there are political coups and
what he described as a political coup.
Joe Biden, despite all of the criticism that I have toward him,
won the election, he won the election.
There were multiple recounts in those battleground states like, Georgia for
instance, and Biden won.
There were dozens of legal battles, all of which the Trump campaign lost,
more than 60 court battles, pertaining to the election results.
Trump appointed judges dismissed his claims,
I mean, it's incredible that a year out, it's been a year.
And they continue with this nonsense, and it's ripping the country apart,
just absolutely ripping the country apart.
And by the way, this follows an entire four year term,
where Trump kept repeating that Hillary Clinton,
didn't accept the results of the 2016 election.
I mean, the projection coming from Republican lawmakers,
the Republican Party in general, is pretty incredible.
>> Yeah, exactly, she conceded immediately,
does that mean that she liked the results?
No, obviously and what irritated us, that she constantly would come out and
talk again not it again, because we were sick of hearing her, but she accepted it.
Nobody tried to overturn it, Democratic legislatures around the country
didn't radically revise their election laws,
to make it less likely to happen in the future.
That's just not what happened and in this case, they can't accept it,
they have absolutely lost their minds.
Have you seen that the Donnie O'Sullivan video, from CNN of him talking with
trump supporters about- >> Yes, yeah.
>> They're all absolutely insane, and like we were told, for the entire
four years of Trump, that if we had not any concerns that we thought meant well.
That means that if this is true, and they prove it, then they overturned,
like never anything like that.
We were told that we had derangement syndrome, but
you have people that not only think that the election was stolen.
And that it's obvious despite no Republican secretaries of state accepting
at the time, no judges being willing to accept that.
A conservative Supreme Court not willing to get involved, when the Supreme Court
has shown, they're perfectly willing to overturn presidential elections.
To put Republicans in the White House in the past couple of decades even then,
they just accept that they are 100% right.
And many of them believe that he will in fact be president, not in 2024 but
before then, they are truly deranged, but we were mocked for literally years.
>> Yeah, it is pretty incredible, it really is, and
it has serious ramifications for the country, right?
And I'm not- >> Can I say one more thing?
>> Yeah.
>> We do this game a lot, and I understand that the other day it doesn't matter,
because they're complete hypocrites in the same way that.
They believe that Pence can just be like, no, you don't get to,
I'm the vice president, I'm a Republican, so you don't get to win.
They think that and we say, okay, so
do you believe that Kamala Harris can do that in 2024?
And obviously they don't?
I do wish that Ari Melber, while doing a pretty good job in that interview,
had turned around to Peter Navarro, and said, okay.
So in future elections, if there are enough states that Republicans win,
that have Democratic legislatures, can they just throw back to the states?
Can they do?
What your green bay,
whatever it is that they're like trying to like colloquially call their plan?
Can the democrats do that?
Is it just a matter of, do you have the state legislatures?
Elections don't matter anymore, only state legislatures matter, they don't actually
believe that, obviously, and no republican watching it would believe that.
What they have tried to do?
And what they would like to do, is actually acceptable for a Democrat to do.
>> I mean, they were aggrieved at the idea of people voting by mail
during a pandemic, they thought that was wrong.
So just again, like, let all of that sink in Peter Navarro,
knows that's the thing that gets me.
Peter Navarro knows the election was not stolen,
many of the most vociferous, the perpetuators of the big lie.
Know without a shadow of a doubt, that Biden won the election but
despite all the damage that it's doing to this country.
Despite the fact that it continues to divide,
despite the fact that it leads to violence.
And fellow Americans hating each other, they keep doing it,
because they don't want to upset Trump's base, they don't want to upset Trump.
And more importantly, when it comes to members of the media,
there's money to be made.
And they know they can attract an audience,
if they're willing to continue with those lies.
It's just the profit motive behind media,
has a lot of consequences to it, I think this is one of them.
