anymore. this is a charge from the justice department, and they are the ones that have to decide whether to go forward with this case. there s a trial date, he s going to court, i think some letter that donald trump may or may not right is utterly irrelevant. this is sorry, yeah. the so-called oath keepers leader, he s been federally indicted on seditious conspiracy charges, he s offered to waive his first amendment rights and testify before the committee but only if he can do it in person and not from prison. his attorney said he wants to confront them. what do you make of this? is this he wants to get out of prison for the day, and wants to grandstand? or is this serious? i tell you, it smells a little bit alike this nonsense like a letter for steve bannon. it s a sideshow set up to capitalize on some ability to
the extremists what they were doing on the capitol around and let the trump allies were doing. there are no attempt on tuesday to bring that together? yes, and this is the hearing that i am actually most interested in, because this is has been the big question for me from the start. we know donald trump encouraged the mob to come to the capitol on january six, and we know they brought weapons and they attacked the building and they were carrying out this plan. is there anything more? are there closer ties than what donald trump said? we ve heard of some of these ties. we know about roger stone and the close ally of donald trump and how he was involved with some members of the oath keepers and the proud boys, and how he had some of these extremist groups as bodyguards. perhaps that will be discussed. we know there was a meeting in the garage between the proud boys leader and the oath keepers leader. perhaps that will be discussed. we know one of the leaders tried to call donald trump
boys created a chant called administrative self-defense leadership chat. in the chat i command structure was established. the department of justice describes mr. tarrio coming into possession of a document called the 1776 returns, describing occupying a few key buildings. around the united states capitol. the oath keepers are another group the committee investigated. you better get your asked folks to d.c., the saturday. if you don t there is going to be no more republic, it s not an if. it s either president trump is encouraged and bolstered and strengthens to do what he must do, or we wind up in a bloody fight. we know that. the fight is coming. the oath keepers planning to block the peaceful transfer of power. according to the department of justice, stewart rhodes, the oath keepers leader, said to his followers, that we were not going to get through this without a civil war. in response to the december 19th, 20 2020 by president trump, the oath keepers focused on january 6th
about that passage, alisyn. the date, december 11th, virtually a month before january 6th. that tells you something about the level of preplanning. also the use of that encrypted app. encrypted means it can t be read normally. law enforcement can get it, as we ve seen in this case, but if you re using an encrypted app, it s usually for a reason. you re trying to hide something. and finally, that passage, i think, lays out the object of the seditious conspiracy. that s been charged here. to interfere with the transfer of power, to interfere with congress doing its job to officially appoint joe biden as president. so i think that s a really important passage and there are passages like that throughout the indictment, and i think it s a statement about how strong doj s case is here. all right, here s one more. december 22, 2020, again, weeks before the insurrection. this was an interview with regional oath keepers leader. rhodes stated if president-elect biden were able to assume the pr
gentlemen, good evening to both of you. look, i don t want to sound hyperbolic, but i mean, chris, these people sound a little it sounds a little scary. i m a little frightened by reading this. and let me tell you let me get this and then i ll ask you why. a cashe of weapons amassed ahead of january 6th, some of the allegations from the indictment about the oath keepers leader and this is january 3, 2021. rhodes departed granberry, texas and began traveling to the washington, d.c. metropolitan area. he spent $6,000 in texas on ar rifle including mounts, triggers, slings and additional firearms attached. can he allegedly bought more the next day. on january 4, 2021, while still traveling toward washington, d.c. metropolitan area rhodes spent approximately $4,500 on
