future president can just decide, you know, i ll take some documents out if i feel like it. yeah, i mean, speaking of congress, leaders in congress, back when actually the truth mattered, the law mattered, john heilemann, you had kevin mccarthy saying they were going to conduct their investigations and they better preserve their documents. this coming from a guy who sat by silently as the secret service destroyed their documents on january 5th and january 6th. the d.o.d. and trump administration destroyed their documents. you talk about orwellian. i would say orwellian for kevin mccarthy, but he thinks zorwel is a shortstop for the angels, so we ll move on. talk, john, about your thoughts about the raid, the historic nature of it and the political impact of it. well, you know, i can t be
lies to be spread on their network about the insurrection, who are trying to brush off any responsibility for the fascist right on january 6th, are they really walking into yet another fascist trap? are they really enabling, once again? how will facebook react? how will twitter react? how will fox news react? how will other pro-trump tv channels react? how will other pro-trump podcasts react? are they going to speak out against these calls for civil war and violence, or are they going to find themselves in more legal trouble as we move forward? we ll see. but it doesn t appear they re very quick on the uptake. definitely does not. chuck rosenberg, thank you so much for coming on this morning. the same to michael beschloss, thank you. jackie alemany, we always appreciate your coverage. thank you, all of you. before we go to break, some of the other stories making headlines this morning. the u.s. is sending an
for doing their job. yeah. that part of this, for me, mike and joe and mika, are an essential element here. we ve got to figure out how to work around it. because this thing that this gop represents under its current leadership is now increasingly more dangerous than it has ever been. that is profoundly important to understand right now. you know why, because they re fascists. like people that are making the threats, the people that helped donald trump on january 6th, the people that were talking about coming to d.c., that it was going to be crazy, that it was going to be wild, they were going to charge the capitol, they re fascists. so they re making fascist threats, and we need to do what the united states has always done, we need to confront fascism and defeat it. so everybody that s freaking out over fascists being fascists,
