st and we all know he lost we want to put him in charge like a king. Now if there were any significant number of people who had that thought then I would say well that does look like an insurrection. You know I got to say if there's a whole bunch of people there even the ones who weren't violent if they said yeah we think Trump lost but we wanted him to be in office anyway so we were trying to make it happen, well that would be an insurrection.

But do you know why you never saw that show where they just took let's say 20 randomized people, nonviolent, the nonviolent ones who were nonetheless picked up for some kind of charge and just ask them why were you there? And you would find out that 100% of them I think would say it looked like the election was rigged. We just wanted a little time to look into it because it looked like it was so badly rigged in our opinion that you could probably find the problem pretty quickly if you just took a day to look into it. Now I don't think that's true. Obviously a lot of days have gone by and nobody's found the smoking gun of illegality. Lots of smoking guns of you know what Zuckerberg spent on one election and blah blah blah. But have you noticed that you don't see any kind of news where they just put together the people who were there, the nonviolent ones, and say why were you there?

Everything about that narrative and therefore everything about what Democrats think of Republicans is based on that lack of news. Let me say it again. The most dominant opinion that Democrats have about the Republican, well the MAGA part of the party, is that they would support somebody, you know Trump being a king and be against the Constitution because January 6 was an insurrection. And yet it would be the easiest thing to confirm or to debunk. Just randomly get 20 people who attended and say what were you thinking? Why'd you do it? Never happened.

Do you know another situation where that never happened? Do you remember the fine people hoax in Charlottesville? And the question was were there any people there who were just opposed or they wanted to keep the statues but were not racists and were not supporting or marching with the racists? Because if there were then everything that Trump said makes perfect sense. How easy would it have been to just say oh we're CNN. If any of you are non-racist who went there just because you like the statues for historical reasons we'd like to put some of you together in a little panel and you tell us why you were there. That would be the easiest thing they could have done.

And what would those people have said? Well as far as I know I'm the only person in the country who did that. I put in a call on social media hey were there any non-racist people who just were there for their own purposes? And the answer was yes. And so I interviewed a few. And you know one of them did say he would go public and I talked him out of it because I said you know I'm not going to let you throw your life away over this. As much as I would love you to go public I'm not going to let you. You know I'm not going to put you in that kind of danger. So it was a situation where I couldn't go public but I'm sure if you know CNN or somebody else said are there any non-racists who want to raise their hand it would have been easy to find a bunch.

Now the ones I found were townies, people who lived in Charlottesville, and they just saw on the news there was a thing at the park and they wanted to be part of it. They didn't even know it was a Nazi neo-Nazi organization because they thought well it's like everything else in America probably there's one of everything there. So it's not like it's a closed environment. So we'll just go down and be part of the fine people.

But when you see them do the same play with January 6 to ignore the easiest news you could ever collect, just pull some people together, ask them what they were thinking. That's it. Ask them what they were thinking on Charlottesville. Ask them what they were thinking on January 6. You'll never see it because the Democrat position depends entirely on them telling you what you're thinking. Oh what you're really thinking is you're an insurrectionist. What you're really thinking is that you're a neo-Nazi. It would be the easiest thing to debunk that. Just ask a bunch of people what they were thinking. Real easy.

So it seems to me that Bill Maher meeting Trump could, because Maher seems genuinely open to the common sense middle ground, it could open something up. It might make it a little bit harder for him to just hate Trump sort of in general. But we'll see. Could go either way. It could just give Maher some material to mock Trump for having a button on his desk for a Diet Coke. Who knows?

But speaking of Maher, that Ezra Klein guy I was talking about, h
