Yet another one of the insurrectionist is now facing a significant time in prison.
This is a guy rough.
It was initially the 1st January 6 defendant found guilty by a jury.
He attempted to storm the Capitol, January 6 last year armed with a gun and zip ties.
I read that because you might watch Tucker Carlson who keeps saying that nobody had
a gun when in fact multiple guns were found anyway, he was stopped.
And thankfully he didn't kidnap anyone, he didn't murder anyone, but
he was found guilty.
And he has just been sentenced to seven years and
found guilty on five different charges.
Here's the interesting thing.
Members of the family are often asked how they feel about this after sentencing in
this case.
And his daughters had a lot to say in part about him, but
they had someone else that they wanted to focus a bit more on take a look at this.
>> To mark my dad as this horrible person and then having him prosecuted like this
when somebody is maybe even able to get elected again doesn't seem right to me.
>> Trump deserves life in prison if my father is in prison for this long.
>> And I have to say, that they make a compelling point there Jessica.
He was one of the people who stormed the barricades looking to I don't
know maybe kill Pence, maybe not, maybe the gun,
the zip ties were just for fun It was part of the outfit, I don't know.
But the person who clearly wanted this to happen, who got the people there who
sent them to the Capitol is probably going to live free for the rest of his life.
That certainly doesn't seem like justice.
>> Absolutely not.
There's a reason that Tucker Carlson keeps saying not a single person at the January
6 insurrection, he will never call it that, but
on January 6 carried a firearm to the event.
The reason that they keep pushing this narrative is because to prove that this
was an insurrection and not just seditious conspiracy because they have to prove
a significant amount of violence.
And they really wanna seem like this either was into a violent event and
it was a bunch of patriots or it was, and it was Antifa you can't have both.
Again, Tucker Carlson pushing two narratives that just don't work together
can't exist in the same reality.
But this person carrying zip ties is super interesting because every
protest I've been to the police are the ones with zip ties,
which suggests he intended to detain people.
Super scary he had a clear plan.
And Trump told them to go, right?
The daughters are absolutely right.
These people were following the orders of the president.
And then even the fact that it's taken the DOJ this long to begin the process
of holding Trump accountable for what he's done here,
which we know from the committee hearings, that was pretty clearly an insurrection.
It sucks that it's taken this long, especially when he told them to go.
And I feel for the daughters, it's pretty clear they don't like Donald Trump,
which gives me hope for the next generation, right?
A lot of folks who are friends with our family members of people who
were there in January 6 feel pretty shameful about it, and
a lot of them don't agree with what went down that day.
>> Yeah, and I actually wanna play just a little bit more the video, because they
wanna make clear that just because their father might have done something, which he
now says he regrets that doesn't mean that they agree with them, take a look at this.
>> He is the one [CROSSTALK] Edward Bernays Aldous Huxley,
that's where I get my beliefs from.
Ad my parents raised us to be free thinkers and have our own thought,
they did not Raise us to
a one-pointed point of view.
>> Now, normally, especially online when you see someone stressing how much of
a free thinker they are, that means that they just believe whatever Alex Jones or
Joe Rogan tells them.
But in this case, they seem to want to make clear that although they probably
would prefer that their father is not in prison and they definitely want real
justice here, that doesn't mean that they agree ideologically with the insurrection,
which if I were them, I too would probably wanna make sure that people know.
>> I hope she's critically reading Edward Bernays.
Edward Bernays is related to Sigmund Freud and
it's kinda the father of propaganda and aided the CIA and
propagandizing I don't know the coup in Guatemala for one example.
So hope she's reading that critically [LAUGH].
>> I would assume that's what she means,
that she's studying propaganda as I assume that's what it means.
Some of his quotes about the need to like cow the populist with careful messaging
and everything.
I assume she's reading that critically.
