| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everybody. Hope you had a good weekend. You know, sometimes Republicans end up being |
| 0:13.4 | right. And when they're right, I will be the first to admit it. But sometimes these MAGA |
| 0:18.8 | Republicans are right, not for the reason they claim to be. |
| 0:22.6 | Let me explain. |
| 0:23.6 | The MAGA right has been claiming that it is absolute chaos and anarchy in the streets |

| 1:25.6 | I'm going to give you some examples. |
| 1:28.4 | There are important historical precedents. |

| 1:38.3 | crackdowns. |
| 1:39.3 | You know the playbook. |
