Summary
On Twitter many people are calling for militant escalation if Kavanaugh gets confirmed. Even Michael Moore joined the chorus by praising militant protesters.
But we know how the protests went on January 20th at Donald Trump's Inauguration; a limo was torched, windows shattered, and hundreds arrested.
If it possible that following Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation we see a repeat of J20? Will the hearing end with Antifa taking to the streets or is this just random noise on Twitter?

| 0:00.0 | January 20th, 2017, inauguration day for President Donald Trump and we saw rioting in Washington, |
| 0:06.1 | D.C. To those of us that were covering it, it was kind of a shock. Usually protests in D.C. |
| 0:11.6 | are kind of tepid. People just walk around and they yell things because it's D.C. |
| 0:15.5 | There's protests all the time. But this day was different. People were really angry that Donald |
| 0:19.8 | Trump won and he was becoming the president. So it ultimately led to riots. Windows were smashed, |
| 0:24.7 | fires were started, a limousine was set ablaze, trash was burned in the streets. |
| 0:28.9 | Ultimately there was a mass arrest. Several hundred people were arrested by the police. |
| 0:32.8 | Those charges were ultimately dismissed. With the confirmation vote of Brett Kavanaugh |
| 0:37.6 | happening as early as tomorrow, I believe we're facing another potential riot. And it's not just |
| 0:43.7 | my opinion for one. We are seeing protests down in D.C. right now. But we're also seeing high |
| 0:49.9 | profile individuals calling for militant action and people are actually saying it's time to riot. |
| 0:55.6 | So in my opinion, it's likely we'll see more. I don't believe that the confirmation process |
| 1:00.5 | about Brett Kavanaugh is actually about Brett Kavanaugh. I think this is a reflection of Donald |
| 1:04.9 | Trump. The midterms, they're going to be the same thing. Everyone is focused on who Trump is |
| 1:09.6 | and what he's doing. And everything is being divided between tribal lines. The Democrats overwhelmingly |
| 1:15.1 | believe Ford. The Republicans overwhelmingly believe Brett Kavanaugh. But does anyone actually care |
| 1:20.3 | about what's really going on? Are they talking about Kavanaugh's record as a judge? No, they're |
| 1:24.6 | talking about allegations from high school. In my opinion, this is just about someone wanting to |
| 1:29.7 | get their side to win. And that's why I think we're seeing protests. And that's why I think we're |
| 1:34.4 | going to see protests in the midterms. And that's why I think things can get particularly dangerous |
| 1:39.0 | in Washington, D.C. tomorrow. So first, let's start with the latest news from this morning. What happened |
| 1:44.0 | with the vote on Brett Kavanaugh? Now, before we get started, please head over to patreon.com |
