United States Capitol

No.

So it ends up being probably about 30 minutes or so to get to like if you want to get to the Capitol.

It's sort of an interesting fact that we tell folks that Lincoln would commute to to the White House every day from from the cottage when he was here during the summers.

And it takes about the same amount of time now that it did for him on horseback in

There were Civil War soldiers from the 150th Pennsylvania that were camped on the South Lawn during the Civil War as Lincoln's guards.

And there's stories of him playing checkers with them and all sorts of different little anecdotes that we tell on the tour that really give you a sense of Lincoln as a person.

And one of the most interesting things for me that every once in a while will kind of give me chills when I'm in that part of the cottage is thinking about the siting of the cottage and where it's located kind of up on this hill in DC and sort of from the south side, especially during Lincoln's time, you could actually see all the way down to the Capitol, which Lincoln wanted construction on the Capitol to continue during the Civil War, kind of as a symbol of hope for the country.

And you can still see it mainly in the winter when there's now there's, you know, larger trees and stuff.

Something has come loose in the American arrangement and nearly everyone can feel it.

The prayer gatherings have moved inside the Capitol.

The Ten Commandments are going back up on classroom walls.

Inside federal agencies, officials hold services to repent for the sins of the nation.

And that aim is to pull down the wall between church and state and to govern the country by one faction's reading of God's law.

My guest, California Congressman Jared Huffman, watched it take shape in real time.

On the 6th of January 2021, he stood inside the Capitol and saw the crosses raised over the crowd.

He heard the pastors on the ground issuing prophecies while the building was breached and understood something most of the country still has not.

And Sean Mania outpitched former teammate Chris Bassett to lead the Padres to a rout of the Mets.

In Washington, members of the House Committee investigating the insurrection at the Capitol last January 6th are holding their first primetime hearings tonight to share what they've uncovered about then-President Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

And we all know that houseplants are a perfect addition to any home.

They can brighten up and refresh any room in an instant.

Then we're going to talk the latest national news.

including how it's going to be a big time in primetime.

Members of the House committee investigating the insurrection at the Capitol are holding their first primetime hearings tonight to share what they have uncovered about the president's, then President Trump's, efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

And at the end of the broadcast today, we all know that houseplants, they're a perfect addition to any home, and they can brighten up and refresh any room in an instant.

And my wife, Monica, and I, and my cousin, her name's MV, and then her husband, Scott, went up to see my sister in Bethesda, stayed with her, and we went to the Freedom 250 Grand Prix that was in D.C.

This was the race around the mall, Washington Mall, in front of the Capitol.

That's where the start-finish was.

down Independence Avenue.

He's the one that said, yeah, let's do it after Roger Penske had the idea.

So...

It was just a great way to go see the Capitol in a whole different way.

There weren't a bunch of Trumpsters up there.

well it doesn't happen but all this stuff should surprise anybody Go to YouTube and bring up the speech that the President of the United States gave on January 6th of 2021.

He tried to overthrow the government in that speech, by the way, and it resulted in a mob running over the top of the Capitol.

Most of that mob, if not all that mob, has been pardoned, by the way, by the President of the United States.

And so why do you think he doesn't want to intimidate going into this election? He understands his policies suck unless you're really, really, really rich.

And I want to do a little bit of background on kind of why people might know you or remember you before we get into your race.

But, uh, you were one of the members of the Tennessee three.

You were expelled for participating in a gun control reform protest at the Capitol after just a horrific school shooting.

And alongside of you was Justin Jones and Gloria Johnson.

So they kept moving and they go, let's try for the capital.

And they say, no, you can't do the Capitol.

No, I'm sure they were well fortified.

Well, it was just one militia.

They got out just in time.

And James Madison was with the militia.

So they got past him and they watched the Capitol building, the White House.

National Intelligence, the whole city burned.

Merrick Garland also said that a lot of things that were completely proven to be false.

Just like his director of the FBI said there were no FBI assets in the Capitol on January the 6th.

And then when he got exposed for having lied, he said, well, there were 26, but they were independent contractors.

Now we know that there were over 326 agents, assets, contractors, call them whatever you want to.

from the FBI in the Capitol on January the 6th.

So it's just a bunch of lies.

Republicans do not steal elections, i.e. 2020.

In the next couple of months, we may all be getting used to a new name of Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, who will have to take over the reins before the end of Lula's term.

Much is being made of this being a setback for Washington, but Brazil may not even be the main Latin American event of the week for a strategist in the U.S. Capitol.

That could be the return to Venezuela of Maria Corina Machado, the country's opposition leader, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and one of South Florida's most popular politicians.

It is unclear now how this will affect Washington's ambitious project to remake the politics, economics, and infrastructure of the country destroyed by decades of predatory socialism.

Trump has denounced Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, as a jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member.

and told a rally that Michigan must stand up and fight just like Todd did to stop a jihadist from walking into the Capitol, invoking the passengers of 9-11's United Flight 93.

Federal agents have raided the home of Representative Ilhan Omar, and the White House is seeking to strip her of citizenship and deport her.

The Democrats' opposition to Trump centers on the war against Russia.
