there was no way that Israel would be done in two weeks. How am I doing so far? Well if Trump's two weeks, and he says that's a maximum. So there's some chance that Trump will act before the two weeks is over, but I think that's low. It'll at least be three weeks. But on top of that there is a military commander who says that difficult days still lie ahead and that Israel must be ready for a prolo…
← Previous segment →d it take this long for somebody to say that on Bill Maher's show? How many times has Bill Maher referred to January 6 as an insurrection? And it took all the way to now for Wesley Hunt to say, how do you have an insurrection with no guns? He went on saying that's like making coffee with no beans. One person was killed that day. It was Ashli Babbitt. She was a white unarmed woman killed by a black Capitol police officer. Imagine if that had been the other way around. Ouch. Oh you're good, Wesley Hunt.
And then Maher tried to argue it but Wesley pointed out that the summer of love was way more dangerous and more people died and it was way worse. I would have added one thing. So that was a good comeback. But I would add this. Bill Maher does not understand what the protesters were thinking when they protested. If what they were thinking was I know we lost this election but we're going to try to take over the country and install our beloved Trump, if that's what they were thinking then that was an insurrection. Even without the guns that would be an insurrection. But they weren't. I'll bet you couldn't find even one person out of the thousands of people, I'll bet you wouldn't find one who said I knew Trump lost but I wanted him to be president anyway. I'll bet not one.
So the entire argument that January 6 was an insurrection depends entirely on the mental state of the protesters. If what they believed is that the election itself was obviously corrupt because of the weird oddities of that election, the sudden surge of Biden, the unusual number of votes he got compared to Obama and compared to other years, and then the bellwether districts, I think 13 or 14 went the wrong way. You know they're normally the most predictive thing in our elections and they all predicted that Trump won and he still lost. So if you ask those people I'm pretty sure they would say we think that the election didn't look like it was necessarily fair and we wanted them to pause just to look into it a little bit, just to make sure that the right person won. How in the world does Bill Maher who talks about politics for a living not realize that he's never heard from anybody who was involved i

n the protest and that that's the only thing that matters? What were they thinking? And were they thinking that they were taking over the country and they left their guns home? Is that what they were thinking? So I think Wesley Hunt he was 60% of the way there with nobody goes to an insurrection without guns but the other 40% that's a kill shot and nobody's taken a kill shot yet. It's going to ha…
