Summary
The 1/6 Commission hit a mother load this week in the thousand page document dump by former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Inside this treasure trove were damning texts by Fox hosts, Republican Members of Congress and Trump's own son--begging for help on 1/6. The question remains though--with all this evidence within our grasps will those complicit in the attempt to overthrow our government continue to evade accountability or has their time finally come? All this and more on this episode of #democracyish

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Democracy-ish. I am Danielle Moody, again joined by the fabulous writer for the Daily Beast, and author of the upcoming book, |
| 0:21.8 | go back to where you came from, Wajahat Ali. |
| 0:25.3 | Waj, I mean, groundbreaking, breaking news. |
| 0:32.2 | Democracy is shaking right now at what the one-six commission has uncovered with the barrage of text |
| 0:41.5 | messages that Mark Meadows has received. There has been a vote to hold Mark Meadows, Trump's |
| 0:49.1 | former chief of staff and former member of Congress in criminal contempt, which has not happened, |
| 0:58.8 | by the way, since the Nixon years, since Watergate. |
| 1:03.8 | And the text messages that are coming out not only from inside of the Capitol building |
| 1:10.0 | from members of Congress, but from Donald Trump's |
| 1:13.2 | own spawn, from members of Fox News. What do you make of what we have learned thus far this week? |
| 1:23.4 | Thank you, Mark Meadows, for being an idiot and releasing all this treasure trope and information, |
| 1:29.9 | and then deciding to stop and say, no, no, no, executive privilege. |
| 1:33.7 | So I appreciate it that you got terrible legal advice, gave all this information willingly to the Select House Committee, |
| 1:40.9 | which then, very wisely, used the television late at night to read out the |
| 1:46.8 | text directly. It was a genius move, and the person who did it was Liz Cheney because she's a |
| 1:50.7 | cold-blooded Republican who voted with Trump 93% of the time, and they know how to message. |
| 1:57.0 | And what we realize is that the Fox News disinformation network, which is state TV, let's be |
| 2:03.4 | honest, the biggest host there, Ingram, Sean Hannity and Brian Kilmita Fox News and friends |
| 2:09.8 | realized this was a coup that this was dangerous, that it was disastrous. We also realized that |
| 2:15.6 | Kevin McCarthy, I hate calling him a House Minority Leader because he's a spineless amoeba, |
| 2:20.7 | called Donald Trump and said, hey, call this off, you know, we're stuck, we're here, and Donald Trump ignore him. |
| 2:26.9 | Donald Trump pretty much is like, well, these people seem to take the elections more seriously than you do. |
