Chapter 1: What happened on the four-year anniversary of January 6?
when Trump left, mobile morgues because people were dying because there was such a mishandling or no handling at all of COVID as Donald Trump would take the stage and brag about the ratings from his press conference. This collective amnesia to that aspect of things is something ingrained in human psychology or that's hard to really even understand.
Let's face it, President Biden, whether you like this or don't like this, this is who President Biden and Kamala Harris are. They're law and order people. They believe in the rule of law. They believe in the Constitution. And they follow what their prescribed duties are under the Constitution, even if it pains them to do so. So President Biden invited Donald Trump to the White House.
Remember in my interview with President Biden a few weeks back, by the way, watch that if you haven't watched it yet. In the West Wing, we did it in the Roosevelt Room. I said, why would you do that? I said, this guy has done all of these horrible things. Why would you be there in the Oval Office with him, smiling at him, shaking his hand? Why make it helpful to him?
And President Biden said, because that's what we do. That's my job. Part of my job is also to ensure that there is a peaceful and successful transition to my successor. That's the way, other than Trump, it's always been. That's what my duty is under the Constitution. Vice President Kamala Harris today said something similar as well.
I mean, you have to imagine how difficult, personal, and just her position was as the vice president. to have to certify the results of someone who was so hateful to you and said the most horrific, racist things about you, who lied about you at every time, who engaged in all this horrific conduct, and you have to count the votes to say that you lost to this guy?
I can't even imagine what that must be like. But she's a professional, unlike some of these MAGAs out there, or most of these MAGAs, who didn't show her the same respect. So first, let's go in reverse order. I want to show you this moment right here where a MAGA Republican Senator from Nebraska, her name is Deb Fischer. She's the senior MAGA Republican Senator from Nebraska. Her husband, Bruce,
refused to shake Vice President Kamala Harris's hand when she was swearing in all of the senators, including Bruce's wife, who's the senator of Nebraska. So let me just show you this moment here, because it's just this – to me, this is outside of – it's not a political – it shouldn't be like, oh, MAGAs, they're just jerks and disrespectful.
But Democrats, Vice President Kamala, that's just what they do. They act collegial. It should just be – Why can't you, Bruce, just act with respect? You're that petty here. Just watch this, everybody.
Hold on. Let's start at the other end just because I got to pull that one up still. That's okay.

Chapter 2: How did Trump react to his sentencing appeal?
That's what Putin's goal is and then Putin's next goal is Poland and then other Eastern European nations and nations that border and surround Russia. That's what Putin's goal is. He's saying that's what his goal is and Mr. According Hands Donald Trump is doing what you never do in a negotiation. You set – by setting an artificial deadline that's already passed.
I mean, where's the corporate media on that? Could you imagine if Biden said, I'm going to end the war in 24 hours? Very specific. After date X, it doesn't happen. It'd be front page everywhere.
Do you hear any corporate media saying that Donald Trump already broke one of his biggest promises, that he would get Putin and Zelensky in a room together as soon as their election was over and with 24 hours, end the war? And Russia's an awful invasion. No one talks about that.
Even if you're going to be generous and say that Donald Trump really meant 24 hours after inauguration, let me be very clear. That's impossible. That's not going to happen. There will not be a deal on that day. And you will hear not a sound from corporate media about that. They just move on to the next one, move on to whatever. We'll talk about it here.
So we're growing faster than corporate media right now. But again, this is an abdication of duty. Instead, what the corporate media is focused on, even right now, as President Biden is leaving with dignity, and as that is probably making a lot of people very frustrated and pissed off, why are you making this transition easy, Joe? A lot of people may be saying, the media is still ruthless.
Watch this.
by being the oldest president i know more world leaders than any one of you ever met in your whole goddamn life and that's important i know more world leaders than any of you have known in your gd life he said he's saying i know more don't you i created i strengthened nato and you're out here trying to act like that's a like that's a negative
also one of the things that president biden did is he gave the presidential medal of freedom the highest civilian honor to a number of people um he gave it to michael j fox for those listening on audio we're showing michael j fox right there received the award um former secretary of state hillary clinton received the award there were others there jose andres got the award um
Magic Johnson was in attendance. A bunch of other kind of great Americans received that award. Bill Nye, the science guy, got the award. It made me think, Brett, as you showed – I think we have this in our archives still – as you showed that clip of Michael J. Fox.
