- Last weekend, the Trump Freedom Tour,
comprised of Don, his son, and a caravan of folks
looking for book deals, headed to Mississippi.
And I was curious, who was shelling out
the 9 to $4,000 for a ticket to see the show.
Much of the country was watching the revelations
coming out of the January 6th hearings.
And surely, these politically engaged folks
were also tuned in.
Have you guys been watching the January 6th hearings?
- Um, no.
- Have you watched any of the January 6th hearings?
- Not really, I had a burp and change in phones, but-
- You had to what?
- I changed phones.
- Are you watching them? - No, sir.
- No, why not?
- Well, A, time.
- You don't have time to watch a two hour hearing?
- Yeah. - Not at all.
- How long are you here today?
- Until five.
- Until five, which is, you got here at?
- I got here at seven.
- Seven, which makes it for 10 hours.
- Right.
- But the two hour hearing, who's got time for that shit?
(inquisitive music) Most were paying no attention,
and yet, there were some paying even less attention.
What about what happened on January 6th?
What do you think, what happened there?
- I don't really know what happened on January 6th.
- January 6th, the-
- The election day?
- No, election day was back in November.
Do you-
- I don't even know what-
- Do you know about January 6th?
- No. - So when I say
January 6th, that means just-
- Nothing, I don't know.
- That's just a day to you.
- Yeah.
- Did you hear about the insurrection attempt
at the capital?
- [Both] No.
(inquisitive music) - For almost everyone here,
insurrectioning was a non-issue.
It was the hearings themselves that were the problem.
- I think it's an abomination.
- [Interviewee] It's just McCarthyism, it's a witch trial.
- It's a witch hunt.
- Eh, it is.
It absolutely is. - Yeah, it's like a mob
of people coming together with pitchforks.
- Yeah. - Saying, and we can't
have that. - Yeah, with an agenda.
Here's the narrative we're pushing
and that's all we're pushing, is our narrative.
- A mob of people with an agenda pushing an agenda,
that can't stand in America.
- No.
- We should have an investigation about a mob of people.
- We should. - Everybody would watch that.
- Yeah, absolutely. - Yes.
- Oh, Nancy Pelosi.
She is very responsible for what went on then.
She planned it.
- She planned what happened?
- I believe so.
- Why did she plan to get attacked
by a mob of Trump supporters?
- Because she wanted to be able to blame it
on the Trump supporters
and have something bad to say about 'em.
- Shouldn't we investigate that?
- Yes.
- So, you must be watching the January 6th committee.
- (scoffing) No.
(inquisitive music) - So what was it
people were watching?
- "2000 Mules" came out and it showed a lot of stuff.
- You've got "2000 Mules".
- And then this movie, "2000 Mules."
- "2000 Mules"?
- Yes. - "2000 Mules" is a
documentary by Dinesh D'Souza,
claiming massive voter fraud based on some cell phone data
and surveillance footage that's been lauded by Trump,
laughed at by Bill Barr, discredited by fact-checkers
and banned from even right wing media
because of its unfounded claims.
- You notice, you turn on Fox News,
they have never mentioned that movie once.
Somebody's pulling the strings.
- Who do you think it is?
- It may Obama.
- (laughing) You think Obama's
pulling the strings, Obama- - Or it could be George Soros.
- You think it's possible that Fox News
doesn't mention "2000 Mules",
your theory, there's a giant conspiracy up on top
in which they don't do it.
Or the second theory is that movie's not credible.
- I know the movie's credible.
(inquisitive music) - Maybe sharing
some of the committee's findings would break
through this MAGA bubble.
Rudy Giuliani was drunk the night of the election
and it was partially his idea to deny the election results.
Buy it?
- I haven't seen that, you're the first source
I've gotten on that.
- You haven't heard that at all?
- No. - That Rudy was drunk
that night?
- It's an election night.
I wouldn't be surprised if anybody was, so.
- You trust a drunk Rudy Giuliani?
- I'm not saying
I trust a drunk Rudy Giuliani. - I got a question for you.
The question is, have you trusted yourself
or other individuals that you are with
under the influence of alcohol?
- I totally have.
- Then what's the difference?
- I am not the commander-in-chief in charge of
the United States of America. - Doesn't matter.
- Well, I think that's an important detail.
(inquisitive music) If no one was willing
to turn on the hearing, I decided to bring
the hearing to them.
I first shared testimony from Trump's
own acting attorney general,
dismissing Trump's claims of voter fraud.
- I told him that the stuff that his people were shoveling
out to the public was bullshit.
(Interviewee sighing)
- Like I said, you just can't be up 300,000 votes
and then lose. - No, but that's
Trump's attorney general. - I know.
- Does that sway you at all?
- He's turned on him, he's been paid,
been paid by somebody to shut his mouth.
- Everybody knows the election was fraud.
- No, no, he's saying the opposite.
He's saying- - He's saying the opposite?
- Yeah, he's saying there wasn't fraud.
That that's bullshit. - Wow, wow!
- Does it make you kind of change your perspective
and your assumptions?
- It does. - Yeah, so you're not
gonna go in there right now?
- Oh yes, sir, I am.
- You are going in there right now
to see Donald Trump speak?
- Yes, sir. - Okay, cool.
Well, good productive chat.
What's your response there?
- I think it's true.
- You think Bill Barr is right?
- Yeah. - 'Cause he's talking about
the fact that the election
was stolen is bullshit. - Yeah.
Yeah. - Yeah, for sure.
- [Jordan] So he says it wasn't stolen.
- Oh, then no. - No.
Oh, no. - Yeah, it was stolen.
- [Jordan] You don't believe that?
- No. - So who do you trust?
Like Trump, Trump's family?
- I trust Trump.
- You trust Ivanka?
- Yeah. - Yeah, I do,
I think she's very smart and very intelligent.
- Let me show you, this is what she said.
- How did that affect your perspective about the election,
when Attorney General Barr made that statement?
- It affected my perspective.
I respect Attorney General Barr,
so I accepted what he was saying.
- How do I know that's not edited in any way?
- You don't believe she actually said that?
- Did she say it on Twitter?
- It almost don't even look like her.
- You don't think that-
- It could not be her, it might be one of those,
what, they got clones out there these days?
- You think that was a-
- (laughing) It might be a clone, yeah.
- It might be an Ivanka clone.
- (laughing) Yeah. - Hot take, my friend.
(Interviewee laughing) It's almost like
you're confronted with it and your brain
just does somersaults to figure out,
there must be some other reason-
- She looks frightened.
- She does look scared,
almost like she's- - Yeah, she does.
- She's been caught.
What do you think?
(Interviewee laughing) - I'm confused.
- A little bit.
- So, Ivanka-
- [Both Interviewees] His daughter.
- His daughter says she accepts
what the attorney general said,
which is that the election wasn't stolen.
That Trump lost.
- Well, is it a lie?
- I mean, if you listen to these people, yeah.
It's a big lie and I'm fearful you're gonna go inside there
and he's gonna keep telling you that lie.
- We should go. - Yeah. (laughing)
I think we're ready to cut this off.
- [Jordan] Being confronted with uncomfortable information
isn't easy to swallow, but this crowd chooses to live
by the immortal words of the barred Rudy Giuliani who said,
"We've got lots of theories,
we just don't have the evidence."
Especially when it comes to Donald Trump.
- I believe him and the military are running the country
and that idiot that's up there is a puppet,
and Obama's in the basement
telling him what to do. - Wait, that sounds so crazy,
it's probably not true.
- You probably don't even wanna ask me
what I think about 9/11, so. (laughing)
- God, you got some theories for miles.
- Well, yeah, and I read a lot of stuff
but I know probably not all of it is true,
but enough of it is true to know
that we need change in this country.
- Absolutely. - Yeah, a little bit
(patriotic music) of shit in the pool
doesn't mean you can't swim in it.
- Right.
