| 0:00.0 | Today's show is going to be something kind of amazing, kind of unique. |
| 0:05.7 | Starts off with just one guest, and then it turns into two guests, and now it's turned |
| 0:10.7 | into three guests, because the news of the week is the news coming out of the DOJ, which is a |
| 0:17.5 | motion to vacate the convictions of the proud boys and the oathkeepers who were convicted |
| 0:23.7 | of seditious conspiracy among other charges they were sentenced to anywhere between like 10 and 22 years |
| 0:29.9 | depending on the individual and what had happened after Trump came in and after the election came in |
| 0:37.2 | day one pardoned all of the Jan Sixers |
| 0:40.5 | with a two dozen exceptions. |
| 0:43.0 | No, actually not two dozen. |
| 0:43.9 | One dozen plus one exceptions. |
| 0:46.2 | There were some people who fell through the cracks of the pardon and who, you know, got |
| 0:53.5 | commutations, but commutations don't have the same legal effects |
| 0:56.6 | as pardons. And some of those people who got egregious convictions, egregious sentences, |
| 1:03.5 | and were appealing their convictions because despite the commutation, there were still legal |
| 1:07.7 | consequences that they wanted to reverse on appeal. Some of the proud boys, |

| 1:17.8 | appealing that those convictions, though commuted and though they were free, they had certain |
| 1:23.0 | legal consequences. I believe firearm ownership was one issue, suspended military pay pensions |
| 1:31.4 | was another issue. And the news of the week is that the DOJ came in and filed a motion to vacate |
| 1:40.8 | the convictions at the appellate level. It has yet to occur. It's got to be remanded down to the lower district courts in D.C. And, you know, hopefully they won't play the shenanigans that Judge Emery or Judge Emmett, I forget to say, I think it was Emery. In the Michael Flynn case, gave some issues when they wanted to dismiss the charges against Michael Flynn. He's like, oh, I've got to exercise my discretion to make sure that this is a proper dismissal. I don't think we're going to have that problem now, but thus far, it's just been the motion to vacate the convictions of the proud boys and the oathkeepers, those who got commutations of sentences. And I wanted to talk with Stuart Rhodes, the founder of the oathkeepers. |
| 2:18.8 | Enrique Tarrio is going to come on. And then at the last minute, Stuart said, you might want to |
| 2:22.3 | have one of the Jan 6 lawyers in here, Roger Roots, who's coming in as well. Now, before we even |
