At a press conference stuffed with wild remarks, Trump dropped maybe the craziest line when asked who was really in the crowd on January 6. He begins with a seemingly normal take:

“They had people in some form related to the FBI, we have to find out about that.” We’re with you on that one, the FBI often plants assets in groups like these – but who else, Mr. Trump, was involved in January 6?

“We have to find out about Hezbollah, we have to find out about who exactly was in that whole thing because people that did some bad things were not prosecuted.” So not only did Hezbollah somehow participate in the riot, but the Deep State and the Democrats have been covering it up! This is a major scandal and Adam Schiff’s committee should address it immediately!

Katie and Aaron dig into the story, and the whole thing turns out to be a widespread conspiracy led by Putin, Hezbollah, and of course Hillary Clinton. Using Trump and Schiff logic, it makes almost too much sense.

Also in this Thursday Throwdown: Antony Blinken is revealed to be a Useful Idiots listener, Fox News claims that anti-genocide protesters in NYC are celebrating the New Years Day terrorist attack in New Orleans, and the likely next prime minister of Canada wants to help Israel bomb Iran.

It’s a very messy week – watch with Katie and Aaron so you can laugh instead of cry at it all. Thanks for supporting independent media, subscribe to watch the full episode here:
