80 - The Treason Will be Livestreamed

This episode we’re reviewing some of what we’ve learned about the January 6th Capitol Building debacle in the last week. Some are surprising, like how well organized their funding was, and some are less surprising, like how many cops were present and how stupid they were for livestreaming their failed coup. We also discuss the violence that broke out in Albany on the 6th. And of course, we ask ourselves the most important of questions: If you died today and you went to heaven, can you look George Washington in the face and say that you’ve fought for this country?
