This is the Tom Hartman program.

I want to start out with this memo from Christopher Miller, the acting secretary of defense.

I keep in mind he was put into that position.

I believe it was November 9th. It was in the first two weeks of November.

As I recall, immediately after the media called the election for Donald Trump and Donald Trump began the big lie,

that he actually won the election and it was being methodically stolen from him by Joe Biden and Democrats.

This memo goes through some considerable detail, but increasingly, like what we're seeing,

it's not just evidence of insurrection and attempt to rise up against the government, but actual treason.

I think the main question that needs to be answered is, did the president lead or participate in a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States and install himself as a strongman dictator for life?

There's three pieces to proving this that I'm seeing.

Maybe you see others feel free to give us a shout. We can talk about it.

But what I'm seeing is number one, we have to connect Donald Trump to the actual traitors who marched from the ellipse down to the Capitol building,

broke into the Capitol building, roamed through the halls, built a gallows to hang Mike Pence.

We're actively looking to shoot Nancy Pelosi in the brain for the exact phrase, one of them used on one of her videos.

We have to connect Donald Trump to those folks. Number one, it seems to me that that's fairly easy.

I mean, his speech, which will no doubt be played before the United States Senate next week, his speech just, you know, he says,

we're going to march to the Capitol.

Now, there was this group, Women for America first, that had organized this rally on the ellipse, which is about half a mile away from the Capitol building, several blocks away from the Capitol building.

This group had assured the Capitol police that nobody was going to leave that area, that it was going to be nonviolent, that it was just going to be, you know, it's women for America first.

I mean, what do you expect? It's just going to be, you know, a bunch of nice people saying, you know, nice things like, you know, we think Donald Trump should be present.

But Trump showed up, and several of his buddies, including his son, and explicitly said, Donald Trump said, you know, let's march to the Capitol, I'm going to go with you.

Now, he was saying this behind Bulletproof Glass. I don't think I've ever seen him speak behind Bulletproof Glass, which might have been a clue that he knew that there were people in that crowd who were armed.
