| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the beat. President Trump is using his new powers to side against police officers and four |
| 0:08.3 | violent convicts deploying his executive powers to undercut the police, law enforcement, |
| 0:15.3 | and law and order policies which traditionally punish and deter what you see on your screen, these kind of attacks on |
| 0:22.1 | police. The news is that President Trump is freeing all the convicts who stormed the Capitol |
| 0:27.8 | on January 6th. That was a crime spree decried by both parties at the time, then convicted by jury |
| 0:34.5 | after jury after jury. And so what you see on your screen is quite deliberate. |

| 1:47.6 | which is about 95% of all January 6 cases, including many of the most violent. President Trump's |
| 1:53.7 | unusual but lawful use of power here has judges now dismissing active cases, the New York Times |
