Rosen high Christine hi John executive editor a Greenwald hi Abe hi John and associate editor Noah

Rossman high Noah hi John you know yesterday morning as we were planning yesterday's podcast I

We were trying to figure out how to talk about what was gonna go on later in the day and decided we

probably shouldn't because there was gonna be a March and then there was gonna be this vote in

Congress and so who knew what what what was gonna happen and so the idea was we probably shouldn't

try to predict what was gonna happen and of course we really shouldn't have tried to predict what

was going to happen since what happened was one of the worst days in modern American political

history as the as the mob from the from the stop the steel trump rally marched down the mall and

came to the capital grounds and broke into the capital building and trashed the capital building

and wandered around the floor and threatened a capital police officers 14 of whom were injured

one woman was shot and killed one of the most disgraceful things that's being said in the wake of

what happened here was you know if this mob had been you know the black people would have gotten killed

well somebody did get killed and 14 police officers were injured and three other people apparently

died of medical in medical emergencies as a result of what happened so four people died 14

police officers were killed we don't even know whether they were injuries sustained among the mob

because of course they probably ran away or left or whatever so this was a very violent day it

was a very violent moment it was as violent as it would have been under other circumstances and

so here we are yesterday afternoon I put up a post on our website saying that I believe that

Nancy Pelosi should call an emergency session of the house draft and vote on articles of impeachment
