Summary

Last Wednesday's MAGA insurrection may have been the end point for Trump's divisive rhetoric but is likely the beginning of a much wider war. Within the ranks of the rioters was a more hardcore group of extremists who were bent on finding and exterminating lawmakers driven into hiding inside the Capitol. Pictures show rioters clad in tactical gear and Kevlar vests carrying zip ties to round up Senators. That they probably had inside help is a chilling development only now being revealed. We speak with broadcast legend Soledad O'Brien on the future of journalism in the wake of the Capital Riot and Trump's disastrous tenure. Also, make sure to check out Mea Culpa: The Election Essays for the definitive political document of 2020. Fifteen chapters of raw and honest political writings on Donald Trump from the man who knows him best. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08M5VKQ6T/ For cool Mea Culpa gear, check out www.meaculpapodcast.com/merch

0:30.9	This is Michael Cohen and you're listening to the Mayer Culper podcast. We have a big
0:57.7	problem on our hand folks and I'm not talking about Donald Trump. If there was any doubt
1:03.1	to the danger he posed to this nation, Wednesday was a potent reminder of just how far he will
1:08.6	go to remain an hour. That said, I am confident Trump will face justice for his new actions.
1:15.3	What occurred Wednesday shocked some and for others reaffirmed what they knew would
1:19.5	happen all along. Regardless, what had already been a steady drumbeat for Trump to face
1:24.9	indictment and prosecution is now being shouted from the steps of Congress and being whispered

1:53.6	If people were to traumatize the day after the riots to call for Trump to resign or be
1:58.8	impeached, people have awoken an anger and disgust at what they see as this constant
