The Adult in the Room

Robert Barnes, appellate attorney for Mike Strickland and part of Donald's Trumps electoral legal team, joins the show to talk about the chaos at the Capitol on January 6. Who was really responsible, and what was the point? How will it affect Trump's legacy, and did it undermine the legitimate concerns about problems with how the 2020 elections were managed? And was Mike Strickland's treatment a canary in the coal mine for Trump's banishment from every major online platform?

On January 6, 2021, an historic and disturbing chapter in US history unfolded in Washington, DC. As Congress gathered to certify the Electoral College ballots and certify Joe Biden as the President-elect, hundreds of Trump supporters forced their way into the Capitol, smashing windows and furniture, looting Congressional offices, swarming the Senate chamber and assaulting Capitol police, all in an apparent attempt to disrupt the vote certification. When the dust had settled, 4 people had lost their lives, including a 14-year US Air Force vet from San Diego who had apparently been shot by a protective detail while trying to crawl past a makeshift security barricade. Notorious conservative street artist SABO was on the ground as the mayhem began, and speaks from the street about what he observed.

In March of 2015, Mike Strickland and his friend Chris Cochran met with Academy Award- and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker Skye Fitzgerald to discuss concerns over Cochran's participation in a documentary Fitzgerald was making.

In part 3 of our ongoing series on Mike Strickland, the original victim of ANTIFA, we examine the man who caused the entire incident: Benjamin Kerensa, a Portland-based computer programmer, wannabe hacker, community activist, and convicted bomb hoaxer. We also take a look at the incident through the lens of well-known Portland activist Mike "Bluehair," who captured much of the incident and its aftermath on video and who has since defended Strickland's actions, even while disagreeing with his politics. Plus, a post(?)-mortem of Tuesday's election in which Republicans not only likely retained the Senate but gained net seats in the House, even while a Trump victory looks increasingly unlikely thanks to apparent shenanigans in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and - most shockingly - at the Fox News studios...an election-day boondoggle so embarrassingly bad that some right-wing Tweeters are referring to it as a "third-world s***show." And could demons be responsible for ANTIFA's antics? Some priests think so!
