| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Beat! I'm Jason Johnson and for our MLBler, we have a busy show tonight. |
| 0:05.2 | A brand new revelation dropping today involving a key architect of Trump's efforts to overturn |
| 0:09.8 | the 2020 election. This is a legitimate breakthrough because, look, across multiple investigations, |
| 0:15.3 | into the coup efforts, and across multiple indictments for those efforts, there was never |
| 0:19.9 | reporting putting any of the masterminds directly on the capital grounds during the day of the |
| 0:24.8 | insurrection. Until now, today, photos and videos emerging that appear to place an architect |
| 0:30.4 | of the fake electric plot Kenneth Cheesebro and a restricted area outside the capital on January |

| 1:23.5 | Cheesebro in a grassy area and the red mega hat at the center of the frame. He's holding his |
| 1:28.9 | phone up and appears to be filming. Here he is again in a different area, looking around, |
| 1:35.0 | a thick crowd around him. The video briefly becomes grainy. He puts his hand up and wipes his mouth. |
| 1:41.1 | No comment yet from Cheesebro's lawyer on the revelations. Now, when Cheesebro was asked by the |
| 1:46.8 | January 6th committee, whether he had any direct communications with Trump about the election, |
| 1:51.6 | or the January 6th joint session of Congress, he asserted his fifth amendment right against |
