| 0:00.0 | Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Left podcast, in which we shall |
| 0:07.2 | take a look at some of the takeaways from the hearings investigating the January 6th insurrection. |
| 0:13.3 | Most notably, they knew, they knew, they knew, they knew from the very beginning that their |
| 0:20.1 | fraud claims were nonsense, and they pushed ahead anyway. |
| 0:24.4 | Clips today are from Fresh Air, Straight White American Jesus, The Bradcast, The Intercept, |
| 0:30.9 | and The Tom Hartman Program, with an additional members only clip from Democracy Now. |
| 0:41.1 | The story of the Capitol is not an isolated event. It's the most dramatic, most documented, |
| 0:48.7 | most visible, and physically threatening part of the larger story, but it's just one part. |
| 0:54.0 | So how do you see the insurrection as fitting into the larger month-long story, |
| 1:00.4 | and the attempt to overthrow the results of the election? |
| 1:05.4 | Well, it's the culmination of everything that came before it, and basically the Trump campaign |
| 1:12.4 | had run out of options at that point. At first, they had tried to keep the former president |

| 1:24.0 | the election, and despite what the votes say. And so they try lawsuit after lawsuit to try to keep |
| 1:33.0 | him in power. And that's the legitimate way to do it, right? I mean, these lawsuits were very |
| 1:38.4 | dubious, and they were bogus, but that is the proper remedy to try to contest an electionist to |
| 1:45.9 | go to the courts. And they try some 60 plus times and fail each time. Each one of these |
| 1:52.0 | suits is thrown out. After that happens, they try schemes that are increasingly at odds with |
| 2:04.0 | norms, standards, and the law. So they then come up with this idea that, well, if the courts |
| 2:11.8 | won't go along with this, it's because they haven't seen the evidence of fraud that we believe |
| 2:17.7 | exists. And in order to get that evidence of fraud, we need to take control of the voting machines, |
| 2:24.0 | because there must be fraud. So they strategize with a number of theories for how they can take |
