Speaker 1: Big news out of the January 6th committee. The House January 6th committee
investigating the Trump riots will have their next session after kind of a summer break on
Wednesday. And I will try to cover that live schedule permitting. The big news and Business
Insider has a good article explaining what's going on January 6th. Committee members say they believe
Trump was responsible for the riot and the panel might unanimously refer Trump for prosecution.
This would be a really big deal. It doesn't mean he would be prosecuted. And if he were,
it doesn't mean he would be convicted. And if he were, it doesn't mean he would go to prison. But
let's just start where we are. The highlights from this Business Insider report. January six
committee members Schiff and Cheney spoke about the Capitol riot investigation on Sunday. They
said they both believe Donald Trump committed wrongdoing, but they said the panel will give
a unanimous verdict either way when it decides whether to refer Donald Trump for prosecution. So
at the tail end of this committee and the series of hearings, the committee members will vote and
they will say, are we referring Trump for criminal prosecution or not? And what Schiff and Cheney are
saying is it will be a unanimous verdict. We won't come out with a split verdict. We will all decide,
much like a jury. Schiff said he will make the decision. His decision align with the rest of the
committee so that they act unanimously. We operate with a high degree of consensus and unanimity. So
there's a couple interesting things here that I want to discuss in how much we talk about this
ahead of the actual decision. It's going to be limited because it's just going to be a matter
of waiting and seeing. This is less about whether Donald Trump actually ends up in prison again.
I do not believe Trump will end up in prison. I think even if you go to the end of the rainbow to
speak metaphorically to the conclusion to all of these criminal investigations, even in the event
of a criminal conviction with a sentence. As a former president, Trump will serve it out in one
of his resorts. It's just he's not going to end up in prison. And for me, this is actually less about
whether he even is given any prison time. That's like ten steps away. This is more about another
criminal problem for Trump as he considers running for 2024. And will it impede him from carrying out
such a campaign? We already know that Donald Trump has been sued and criminally referred in New York
by the attorney general, Letitia James. We talked about that last week. We know that as a result of
the FBI search warrant served at Mar a Lago, that is likely a criminal investigation that is moving
well ahead and rather quickly. That's another legal problem we know about what's going on in
Georgia where Donald Trump, remember, he needed I need 11,000 votes. Give me a break. A probable
wrongdoing there potentially charges. So the question is now, with the addition
of a potential criminal referral from the January six committee, is this just going
to mark up his trying to run in 2024? Now I get it. Many of you are like, oh, David, come on,
six years of this and nothing. It's but bombshell after bombshell and yet nothing as we continue to
see evidence of Trump's wrongdoing. I'm with you. I'm with you. And if I had to issue a defense for
why, we should remain cautiously optimistic. And again, I'm not even sure that we should. But if
I wanted to make that case, the four years Trump was in office, he was protected to some degree by
his own attorneys general. He had a completely corrupt in his pocket Republican Party, who,
even if they didn't love Trump, they weren't going to say much about it publicly, other than the rare
handful of folks like, you know, Mitt Romney and this ridiculous you know, some of them
call it a rule. It's really sort of like a what, a tradition. I don't even know where the Department
of Justice doesn't indict sitting presidents. And some Republicans are giving the Department
of Justice really shouldn't even investigate a sitting president. So that's all gone now. So
now what Trump is dependent on or reliant upon is can can corrupt judges save him? And the truth is.
There could have been a federal Trump indictment any time since January for the Mueller probe if
they wanted to do that. A January of 2021. But they haven't. He's no longer a sitting
president. The evidence is all still available. So I share everyone's sort of skepticism, but I try
to maintain some degree of cautious optimism. And in the next three months, particularly, I mean,
we're only six, five and a half, six weeks away from the six weeks from the midterms.
There is the belief that after that, there may be action. But I'm with you guys. You know,
I'm not naively wide eyed and bushy tailed holding my breath for these indictments.
They clearly should come. But whether they will, we will find out. Let me know what you expect.
Find me on Twitter at D Pacman after the break. I'm actually going to have for you some positive
examples of how Democrats need to be talking about the tomfoolery of the Republican Party. Stay with
