0:00.0	All right Anderson, thank you very much. I am Chris Pomo and welcome to prime time. The Trump insurrection may spread to all
0:08.9	50 states. It was so easy for toxic Trumpers on Wednesday, and let's be honest.
0:15.4	They're still such embracing of Trump by his party that people looking to destroy America are making plans
0:25.0	everywhere. This comes from the FBI.
0:27.4	They say armed protests again in DC better armed this time and in all 50 state capitals are being discussed online and in person in the run up to our inauguration.
