Third day on the job, the capital gets breached and then they blame me and
president Trump and many other republican members of congress for doing it.
I was so shocked and I'll tell you what was so shocking is,
I thought what you just said,
I thought the capital was the most secure building in our country at least.
>> Right, with thousands of cameras.
>> Well, there are lots of cameras, but you can't see the video footage.
I don't know why- >> That's interesting.
So, Marjorie Greene hasn't had an issue with January 6th since it happened.
She hasn't seemed to be bothered by the violence about the attempted murder of
cops and all that.
About the attempt to overthrow democracy, to kill Nancy Pelosi, to hang Mike Pence.
And I didn't realize the whole time it's,
she doesn't think that there's footage from it.
But there is Marjorie Greene, like she just missed it.
Maybe there's a chance to win her over to her cause.
Let's play a little representative sample of the video that is actually abundantly
available.
>> [NOISE]
>> I know Marjorie Greene, that's pretty shocking stuff, isn't it?
Well, it turns out there's actually hours and hours of that,
very similar in many cases to that.
If it's not clear from the video because of course it is admittedly chaotic.
Those are cops in riot equipment trying to stop our elected representatives from
being assassinated by your political friends and allies.
And those are conservatives trying to kill them with hockey sticks and flagpoles and
stuff like that.
That's actually been available since the sixth in many cases, Marjorie Greene.
So, I would consider looking into it.
I mean we're already having the hearings,
I feel like you should probably be preping for them.
What do you think Yasmin?
>> I mean she doesn't need the footage, she was there that day, wasn't she?
She was in the buildings, she knows what was going on.
I mean she was doing her planning meetings beforehand.
She knew what was going to happen.
We already know that.
And the footage, when she made the comment, I was like,
I've seen the footage so how did you miss that?
But the other thing is she talks about how secure the building is supposed to be and
yeah, they have cops on site at the building.
But a handful of cops can't do anything against a mob of angry people, right?
Any kind of police force can't do a whole lot against that many people,
especially unexpectedly.
And then whenever the president was supposed to call for help and
to get more people to help contain the mob, he refused to do so.
So that's why things devolved the way that they did, and that's it.
>> Yeah, the argument that, look, I honestly try to, for a limited period of
time I try to put myself into the headspace of a crazy person like this.
It's kind of like 11 entering into the upside down.
It's dangerous and don't stay there too long, but maybe it's necessary.
I don't know what point she's trying to make, that there's no footage.
Like is this some sort of like truth social or
fortune conspiracy theory about there was something that happened on
a camera that we can't see that shows that secretly wasn't.
I honestly don't even know what point she's trying to make.
My guess is that she's not trying to make any point, she's just literally one of
the stupidest people in this country and she has no idea what she is saying.
>> There is a lot of footage- >> I think the other part though,
>> You may not see it on Fox News,
but it is available.
Look it up, it's pretty, stuff- >> But that's the thing,
is they're not going to look it up and she knows that, right?
She knows that she can say something on a podcast, and
she can make all these claims and no one will look it up.
Because look at what happened with the big lie, they just said some things and
people just believed them, they just trusted it.
They didn't ask for evidence,
they didn't ask to see any proof of what they were saying.
So no, she can say whatever she wants and her base will believe her.
>> Yeah.
>> I think that's what it comes down to.
>> Look, I think you're 100% right.
The other part that I think is so weird and you heard it there in that clip,
and it's been a constant from the very beginning.
Is the simultaneous,
seemingly untenable positions of having no real issue with what happened.
Not thinking that it's a big deal, not thinking that we need to be worried about
it or we need to guard against it in the future.
Not thinking that the white supremacy or
the antisemitism that was there is an issue, or
the fact that conservatives are trying to murder cops with their bare hands.
That's an issue, but they keep coming back and
saying it is egregious that they didn't better secure the building.
But, against what?
Against something that's not a big deal.
How dare they not have called in more people.
But it doesn't matter that the conservatives got in there because they're
perfectly fine, they're patriots.
Like, there are conservatives that I would argue generally don't show a lot of
mental flexibility or strength that hold those totally in compatible positions.
That it is simultaneously egregious that Marjorie Greene wasn't better protected
against something that doesn't matter.
And by the way, they're doing the same thing with COVID.
They will criticize Biden for the numbers when they spike,
but they don't think COVID is a big deal.
Like I don't get how you can have your bs and eat it too.
I don't get how it works, Yas.
I don't know, you said that you fall into these rabbit holes on YouTube,
maybe you understand this argument better than I do, but it just shreds my brain.
>> I mean, I try to understand them and that's why I end up in these rabbit holes.
But I don't think I come out with a whole lot more insight into these people apart
from just cognitive dissonance.
And just needing to believe whatever it is that they need to believe to
make themselves feel better at that moment.
It doesn't matter if it was incompatible with the previous thought that they had,
or if it's going to be incompatible with future thoughts
that they're going to have, it doesn't matter.
It's just right now, this is how I feel and I'm gonna say it and
I'm gonna say it like it's a fact.
Because they're so convicted in whatever they're talking about.
