Is Trump watching the hearings?
Well it turns out Donald Trump no stranger to television, loves watching TV.
Apparently has his eyes glued to the television as the January 6
hearings are taking place.
These are the hearings involving the House Select Committee investigating
the Capitol riots that took place on January 6.
And here's what we know based on, to be fair,
unnamed sources who are close to the president, they've spoken to the press and
apparently trump is hate watching the january 6th committee hearings
incensed because he believes nobody is defending him.
Trump is at the point of about to scream at the tv as he tunes in to each hearing
and in fact, he's reportedly ranting to anyone around him that will listen.
A person familiar though with this situation denied this
saying this is not true.
He has barely watched any of the hearings at all.
Okay.
I don't know if I buy that.
I definitely am leaning in the direction of believing the other sources who say he
is watching the hearings and he's really upset about no one defending him.
But I mean, idea, it's kind of hard to find people who are willing to defend
you when you're on the record countless times, Initing violence,
lying about the outcome of the presidential election, spreading
conspiracies about widespread voter fraud in which he had no evidence of and
lost over 60 court battles on like who's gonna defend you.
You lied.
It's very clear he's always been lying, he's been lying.
>> You know, I mean donald trump inserted himself in the you know,
the five young men in the central park, five, the the young man,
he inserted himself into that conversation and he has a history of
just going around saying things that are not rooted in truth,
that are always stoking fear that promote his elitist ways.
He, you know, the people who support him that continuously continued to support him
blindly.
Our people that he wouldn't spit on if they were on fire.
If you see who he kicks it with, he kicks it with celebrities, rich people,
you know who have money and power, that's who he hangs out with.
And of course he lies, he's you know,
he's allegedly committed adultery, he lied to his wife.
I mean he lied to America over and over again on record.
We could do side by side with all the lies that he told during his presidency.
It just doesn't matter anymore.
He feels like it doesn't matter what he does because the people who are gonna
follow him are gonna blindly follow him so long as they stay over there because
if you ever noticed donald trump taking pictures with regular citizens,
like those people who blindly follow him, pull up the pictures,
show me pictures of donald trump and if you see him it's very few and
far in between of him actually interacting with with the people.
Like he doesn't, he's an elitist and he's a liar and he is just doing whatever and
that he can do to maintain power because to him it's fun, it's a little game game.
And another way to make money.
It ain't about this country and making the country great.
It's about continuous.
He found another hustle and you know, he's not a good businessman.
Everything he does is a hustle, right?
>> Yeah.
I mean, absolutely.
And what's really interesting though is that he's furious that there aren't like
matt Gates type people serving on the committee, which by the way,
if they ended up serving on the committee, he'd be very upset.
Like if it was announced prior to the investigation and
the hearings taking place that, hey, this is the bipartisan select committee and
they included people like matt Gates or marjorie Greene,
he would be upset that they were taking part in the investigation and
that is exactly why, the, you know, republican leadership in the house,
kevin McCarthy prevented them from doing it.
You know, ask them not to do it.
So right now you can't win with trump.
That's what I love.
That's the that's my favorite thing about trump, right?
Because you have all these yes men like circling yes sir, yes,
we will do whatever you want, sir.
And then eventually, inevitably either they're going to fail to carry out
something extreme that trump is demanding or
they're going to carry out exactly what trump is demanding and they're still going
to lose with this guy because there's no winning with these entitled spoiled,
criminal minded losers, that's who donald trump is that is who he is in his heart,
it's who he has been since the day he was born.
Okay.
And it's been reinforced over and over again through his lifetime of actions.
So let's talk about this trump is angry at house Minority leader Kevin McCarthy for
pulling pro trump republicans from sitting in that committee.
Former president trump has said privately for months that Kevin McCarthy's decision
to pull pro trump republicans from sitting on the committee was a mistake.
One that has become clearer as trump watches the hearings that are working to
build the case that he should be criminally charged for
conspiring to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
And trump's advisers are apparently triggered by the fact
that they're no longer in power and can't manipulate this whole process.
Several trump advisers said that they were particularly frustrated.
They had no insight into the committee's discussions, plans and
divisions so they could better prepare for what was coming.
The criminals are really mad that they can't be part of the criminal
investigation.
They're so upset because that's that's the process in America.
>> Remember the police investigate the police to see if the police
is doing something wrong.
I think it was George bernard shaw that said a tyranny is a family ruled by its
sickest member.
And I think that when you think about that little crew of the little sick offense,
that role with donald trump who are constantly walking on
eggshells because of the terror that he rains down on them.
That's what happens.
That's what happens when you get in in bed, when you do a deal with the devil,
There's no winning, there's no winning because the devil's objective is to get
you not for you to win dummy.
>> Exactly.
And also, I mean, look, it's it's worth noting what McCarthy's reasoning was like,
why was it that he discouraged republican members of Congress from being part of
this investigation and the Select committee.
Well, he believed that having republicans play a role would legitimize the process.
And and he he wants to say, look, this is just political, right?
This is just democrats engaging in a witch hunt.
But it's really, really hard to make that case when you have not
just one republican member of Congress Liz Cheney serving in in this investigation.
And of course Cheney is actually against trump one of the few republicans who is
very outspoken against trump.
You have trump administration officials,
people appointed by trump testifying against him during the hearings.
Today, you had three high level doj officials testify against trump.
All three of them by the way, were appointed by trump.
And so yeah, it's gonna be really hard for kevin McCarthy or
any republican who sides with this madman to argue that this is like
an illegitimate political process and nothing more.
No, it's it's incredibly compelling.
It's very well done and the evidence is there.
They came with the receipts.
>> It's just it's fun to watch, right?
Because it's it's the chickens coming home to roost, as you said earlier.
Like, you know, even the people that he appointed that he thought would be
blindly, you know, committed to him and and what he says,
everybody has their breaking point and everybody has their deal breakers.
And it's it's just fun to watch.
And, you know, as they try to to say that this is not valid.
They are saying that it is that that's part of your day,
they're saying it is valid.
>> Yeah, we'll see what comes of it.
I look, if all we're going to get from trump for now,
at least is knowing that he's freaking out about it.
At least that gives us some temporary relief because I think criminals like him,
people who want to undermine our electoral process should absolutely suffer
consequences and
if it keeps them up at night, that's really nice in the short term.
You know, I'm really enjoying that in the short term.
But we'll see how it plays out in the future, but
I wanna, I wanna drive home this point again, it's not just about this
particular incident and trump administration officials.
It's also about how it is that we got to a place in America where
a huge portion of the country is ready and willing to believe
conspiratorial bs complete lies about our electoral process,
with absolutely no evidence to back it up.
How did we get here?
And I think it has a lot to do with the lack of trust in our institutions.
People don't trust the press, people don't trust politicians,
they don't trust the establishment, whether it's the right wing establishment
or the democratic establishment, that's a big problem.
And I think that this is a moment that should be reflective, like people should
reflect on what they're doing wrong to get to a place in America where a huge portion
of the country is willing to believe, like the most insane lies imaginable.
>> It's time to, you know, get back to basic education readers are leaders
encouraging people to seek information for themselves.
The lack of education is at the it's at the root of a lot of these issues.
And I just hope that we start valuing that more because that is actually
the true ticket to freedom
