So i know youve probably heard the phrase history repeats itself. Well, its happening right now. Im talking about recent history and its happening in broad daylight. Were going to talk about that throughout the show tonight with many of the people who would know best. Former trump aide Sarah Matthews was at the white house january 6th, 2021. She saw Political Violence and the lead up to it up close. She saw how donald trump incited it, and were seeing that again. Very fully with efforts to do delegitimize elections which, you guessed it, is happening again also. On that note, i want to start tonight by diving into a story out of arizona. Where last month, a meeting of the Maricopa County Board Of Supervisors erupted into total chaos. A group of people swarmed the meeting, shouting of the members of the board were illegitimate because of voter fraud. The cofounder of a Pro Trump Group even commandeered a podium to announce, this is an act of insurrection. One county official describe th
