Just when Kamau and Hari thought they could breathe and take in the Democratic victories in Georgia's Senate runoff, an armed right-wing mob storms the Capitol. Hear their reaction to the chaos in DC and their conversation with Nse Ufot of the New Georgia Project and The Intercept's Ryan Grim about how Democrats can make the most of their power (and not fuck it up this time).

0:00.0 | This is a tweet from At Know About, underscore it, know it in OAH, B-O-U-T, underscore it. |
0:06.8 | This is best tweet so far. This is the FAH we were anti, by the way. |
0:13.5 | From Topic Studios and Warner Media Podcast Network, this is politically reactive. |
0:18.3 | I'm Debbie Camelbell. And I'm Cold War Reactor, Hurricane DeBolo. |
0:22.9 | I make empty threats and engage in proxy wars, but on Twitter. |
0:26.9 | Well, Georgia has spoken. The Reverend Rafael Warnoch is headed to the Senate. |
0:31.1 | He defeated Kelly Lefler, who goes back to just being a racist WNBA owner, I guess. |
0:35.9 | And the Reverend will be the first black senator from Georgia ever. |
0:40.2 | And while John Assof's race with David Perdue is closer and maybe headed for a recount, |
0:45.2 | he also looks highly likely to be headed to D.C., giving Democrats control of the Senate by |

1:04.1 | And I'm politically reactive. We like to talk to the people who do the work defending, |

1:14.0 | Now most of us know Stacey Abrams and the work she does in Georgia, but Stacey has been clear |
1:18.5 | that it ain't just her. Ense is the CEO of the New Georgia Project. She was at the forefront of |
1:23.8 | mobilizing the Black, Brown and Young voters who made Georgia a battleground state. |
1:27.6 | She'll tell us what this victory feels like and why this victory means that Republicans are coming for. |
1:32.6 | Also, another thing we like to do on the show is gloat when people we despise get what they deserve. |
1:37.6 | So this might be a place to note that if John Assof's lead holds, Mitch McConnell is out |
1:44.0 | as Senate Majority Leader. That makes him Senate Minority Leader. Which by the way, |
1:48.5 | colleague Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader is both very satisfying and fucking hilarious. |
