uh mike i was remiss um a couple days
ago i should have mentioned this
uh we both could bring this up and marty
barron
yes uh fantastic editor fantastic
newspaper person uh at the washington
post uh we worked for him at the boston
globe
great editor great eye uh exacting
genius no he really was though he really
was he really is a genius
oh sure but he's retiring he's retiring
from the washington post and one of the
great things
many great things about marty but one of
the things uh i loved
about working for marty is that he would
look at the obvious what would seem to
be the obvious what would seem to be a
story that people have walked by every
day
and pay no attention to oh that's just
the way it is i need to stop and say
well why is that
why is it there why aren't we writing
about that
well we didn't no no okay i want to i
want to take a fresh look at it i want
us to look into it again
and with that approach he would come up
with stories his reporters would come up
with stories
that they didn't even think they could
come up with he was a great leader
great leader and marty barron is
the is the was the impetus behind the
series that turned into a movie
spotlight exposed uh
a scandal a a heartbreaking scandal
uh played by leo schreiber right
and then the heavy hitters there the
heavy hitters and you know what mike
from
you know seeing these folks in office to
see these folks in the office like
sasha pfeiffer is a buckeye like me you
know we talked about ohio uh you know
matt carroll
used to play ball with him so to see
these people portrayed you
know what a great job they did
but spotlight opened up something
that we weren't aware of and then once
we got aware we became aware of it
luggage change our perspective
yeah i think the same thing is going to
happen
with capital that's going to be the
title of capital
or or january 6. whatever you want to
call it that is what's going to happen
because my i just keep every time i see
something
about this story there's another layer
that's just peeled away
and they're not even layers they're just
kind of scratches
and you know there's something explosive
use that as forward you know there's
something
much bigger much greater underneath the
surface
and so i can't wait until the
journalists
sometimes we say the adults come in the
room when the journalists come into the
room
i know journalism has uh has been under
attack
uh particularly the last four or five
years but when the good investigative
journalists come in
i think we're going to see something
no i i i could not agree more i mean um
this i i'm glad very quickly
it went from a riot to an attack
in terms of the terminology we use
because it was an orchestrated
attack there's a there's a conspiracy
here you want to talk about conspiracy
theorists
the irony is the conspiracy theory
theorists
within the halls and the walls of
congress
conspired to wage
an assault and an attack on capitol hill
on january 6th
and it was a different matter uh
that they were talking about when
alexandria ocasio-cortez was tweeting
about you know the game stop and and
robin hood
uh you know stock uh fiasco
trader fiasco um and
ted cruz she was like i'm all for an
investigation into
robin hood you know shutting down
trading and uh
ted cruz like i couldn't agree more
she's like hold on player you just tried
to have me killed
so i'm all for working with people on
this but uh you need to sit this one out
and i love it because it's like and
nancy pelosi talking about the enemy
is within they they can't act like not
only can
kenny act like january 6 is in our rear
view but
there is a war going on outside that no
man or woman is safe from right now
and at the center of it
is a freshman
q anon congresswoman named marjorie
taylor green
who just put out a
typically ridiculou ridiculous statement
a few minutes ago
this woman has run amok and she is the
embodiment of the fear that i had
leading up to the election that there
was never going to be
a transfer of power that donald trump
was still going to run the republican
party
and and and and and pull the strings
when it came to his supporters
both within the general public but also
within the federal government within
congress the people who want to be in
line with him
the people who want to appeal to his
base the people who are part of this
base
and marjorie taylor green is just that
this is not somebody who is just like
here
to say oh well you know what this is uh
beneficial to me
to expose these conspiracy theories
these q anon conspiracy theories to
to to to you know continue to perpetuate
the trump doctrine
in congress no she
is one of the main foot soldiers
in this movement and it's like for all
the people who i
i was reading something from axios um
where kevin mccarthy the republican
leadership
they were all fully aware that this
woman
was accosting parkland survivors
was talking was liking tweets talking
about putting a bullet to the head of
nancy pelosi or or or or hanging
president obama would have they knew all
about it but wait does this sound
familiar
they thought she'd chill out once she
got elected oh [ __ ] like
it is literally a repeat of donald trump
they thought they thought she would
behave a little differently once she
actually got elected in georgia why was
she and so
now now here she is
did you see she ran up on corey bush she
maskless they've had to move
representative corey bush's office
for her for safety reasons away from
this clown
on january 13th after members tested
positive for cover 19 after being locked
down with her on january 6th
she came up behind corey bush loud and
unmasked
she asked her to put her mask on she
said stop inciting violence with black
lives matter
she had to move her her and her team's
office
got to be moved away like there is
this isn't over what needs to be over
is any kind of discussion of unity or
bipartisanship
because the republican party not only
did they put her on what the education
and labor
committee the republican party not only
condones
what this woman represents she
represents
their interests whether they're brave
enough to just say it outright or not
like this is who they are they keep
showing us who they are and it's time
for us for everybody to believe them
and stop trying to play nice with these
people there is no appealing
to this party right now they own some
other ish
right now like there is no unity there's
a there's a civil war going on
and the enemy has identified itself and
as nancy pelosi said
the enemy is within and they got to
eradicate it somehow they have already
been called to expel her from congress
they cannot do do it soon enough
everybody's on high alert
around around the capitol because you
don't know what these people are
plotting next
and instead of trying to you know
suggest that
hey this is this is different uh or
this is the misunderstanding she puts
out a statement to the radical left-wing
democrat mob so that's the mob
that's the mob not not not the q and on
people
who literally wage the assault on the
capital
the people who are recognizing who
nobody's making this up this is stuff
she
said anti-islamic anti-semitic
you know racist statements that she's
made on video that's cnn uncovered
and yeah it's the fake news media fake
news is in like you said this
anyway i'm sorry i can go on and on i
just needed to vent about this woman
uh i need her about a dodge like
yesterday one question just one question
yeah just one question yeah and i'll
make it quick because i know we got
vinnie about to join us
no could i know i know you were probably
uh probably were and
are good at math good at math right
okay
how can it be in her statement just a
small thing this one yeah
just just a little editing thing you
just want to just focus on this
how can it be donald trump
got 75 million votes and we accept that
number
we accept that he got 75 million votes
yeah guess who else accepts it i do too
i accept it yes he got 75 million votes
more than i thought he would get but he
got 75 million votes
and everybody he says it she said it
so we just go and joe biden got 81
now we got the whole crazies now the
crazies come out what happened
so how can one guy get 75 million we
count his votes you don't count the
other like
how does that work mathematically how
did he get 75 and
and that's not in dispute but the other
guy got 81
and you all think the country being
taken away by these radical
leftists socialists she didn't
just i just wish people wouldn't act
like this is some kind of like discovery
this is something like hey we this isn't
this isn't a a young player whose old
tweets are being unearthed
and it's like oh my goodness we had no
idea she didn't get elected to congress
in spite of her
statements in spite of her beliefs in
spite of her behavior she got elected to
congress because of it
but she's right where she belongs as far
as they're concerned
and meanwhile kevin mccarthy of course
going to
kiss the ring in florida
there was an election there was an
inauguration but there has not been and
will not be anytime soon a transfer of
power so long as donald trump continues
to wield power
both within the government and within
his
base of 75 million voters hey thanks for
