a little over a year ago thousands of
[2]
trump supporters stormed the capitol
[4]
building in an attempt to stop the
[6]
election from being certified and they
[8]
wanted to declare donald trump super
[10]
president forever no backseas
[13]
now what was surprising is that by and
[14]
large the republican party has decided
[17]
not to hold any of that against donald
[19]
trump
[20]
and i mean let's be honest how can you
[22]
stay mad at this phase you could use
[24]
that manager's face
[28]
but the capital riots wasn't even the
[30]
scariest thing that happened on january
[32]
6th because you see my friends we're now
[34]
finding out that something else happened
[36]
that day
[38]
countless republicans seem
[40]
to have had their memories
[42]
erased i i know it sounds crazy but
[45]
but okay look at what happened to kevin
[47]
mccarthy the leader of the house
[49]
republicans and guy who has definitely
[51]
called rap music the hippity hop
[55]
he's one of trump's firmest us never
[57]
wavered in public even after january 6.
[60]
so when the new york times reports that
[62]
mccarthy had privately told colleagues
[64]
that he thought trump should resign
[67]
he denied it fiercely he had no memory
[69]
of seeing anything like that and then
[72]
the tapes dropped
[74]
i i've had it with this guy
[77]
what he did is unacceptable
[79]
um
[80]
nobody can defend that and nobody should
[82]
defend it again i mean the only
[83]
discussion i would have with him is that
[86]
it would be my recommendation we should
[88]
be gone
[90]
it is my recommendation that he should
[91]
resign but yet
[93]
mccarthy's memory of that call
[96]
was completely wiped
[99]
yeah on january 10th he was all i've had
[102]
it with this guy and then two weeks
[103]
later he was chilling at mar-a-lago yeah
[106]
dude quit trump the way most of us quit
[108]
twitter
[109]
he was like i'm deleting this app
[112]
actually i'm not gonna delete it but i
[113]
won't check it again until right now
[116]
tweet three three twenty three three
[117]
tweet tweet did you miss me
[121]
and by the way a lot of people were
[122]
wondering if getting caught on tape
[124]
slamming donald trump would be the end
[125]
of kevin mccarthy's political career i
[127]
mean this is trump's party you know if
[129]
trump comes out against him that's it
[130]
it's over all it takes is one crying
[133]
kevin betrayed me and it's done
[136]
but instead trump came out and said he
[138]
and mccarthy are fine in fact he said i
[140]
think it's all a big compliment frankly
[144]
they realized they were wrong and
[145]
supported me
[148]
yeah you see trump loves this stuff
[150]
in fact if you used to be against him
[152]
and now you're not he likes those people
[155]
more than someone who loved him the
[156]
whole time because it shows that he made
[159]
you bend the knee
[161]
yeah the dude loves converting people
[163]
more than scientologists and vegans
[164]
combined
[167]
let me tell you something now if hillary
[168]
clinton herself came out right now as
[171]
pro-trump i don't care what anyone says
[173]
let me tell you right now she would be
[175]
his new favorite person he'd be like do
[177]
we love crooked hillary folks
[179]
do we love her let her out let her out
[183]
let her out
[186]
so good
[188]
so good i love her
[190]
i love her
[192]
she was so cheeky used to be cheeky
[196]
so yeah kevin mccarthy completely forgot
[199]
what he said on and around january 6th
[201]
but
[202]
it's not just him take rick perry
[204]
trump's energy secretary a few months
[206]
ago cnn reports that perry was the
[208]
author of a text message laying out a
[210]
plan for overturning the election and
[212]
perry said absolutely not it never
[215]
happened but then today
[217]
cnn got hold of the complete message and
[220]
it's actually signed
[222]
rick
[224]
perry yeah
[227]
i don't know what's worse
[229]
the fact that he was part of an
[230]
insurrection or the fact that he signed
[232]
his text message
[234]
that's such an old-person thing to do
[237]
it's worse than when my grandfather
[238]
bought a bigger tv because he thought it
[239]
would fit more channels in it
[243]
so look obviously something happened to
[245]
rick's memory too
[247]
but as worried as i am for those guys
[249]
people i am really concerned about
[251]
marjorie taylor green
[253]
congresswoman from georgia and soccer
[255]
mom who's definitely slashed the other
[256]
team's bus tires
[258]
you see
[260]
a few of mtg's constituents have filed a
[262]
lawsuit to disqualify her
[264]
from congress based on her role in
[266]
january 6th yeah apparently there's
[268]
something in the constitution that says
[269]
you can't run for office if you do an
[271]
insurrection against the government yeah
[273]
you know how people had crazy ideas back
[275]
then yeah
[277]
and now look we all know it's probably
[278]
not going to work but margaery taylor
[279]
green was still forced to testify at a
[281]
hearing on friday and it looks like
[284]
nobody has been hit harder by january
[286]
6th amnesia
[287]
than her
[288]
you didn't talk to anybody in government
[291]
about the fact that there were going to
[292]
be large protests in washington
[295]
on january 6th i don't remember you
[297]
spoke to representative biggs
[299]
or his staff about that fact didn't you
[302]
i do not remember how about
[304]
representative gosar
[305]
i'm sorry i don't remember did anyone
[307]
ever mention to you the possibility
[310]
that there might be violence in
[312]
washington i don't remember ms green
[315]
this is a tweet that you sent out
[318]
on january 2nd 2021 correct
[324]
i'm not sure
[326]
okay you don't recall this
[328]
i i don't recall tweeting that no did
[330]
you advocate to president trump to
[332]
impose martial law as a way to remain in
[334]
power
[335]
i don't recall
[337]
you don't recall if you wanted to impose
[339]
martial law
[341]
you don't wow i wish i had margaery
[344]
taylor green's memory yeah i once said
[347]
enjoy your dinner to a waiter in 2003
[351]
and i still think about it every day
[354]
every day
[358]
enjoy your dinner you enjoy your dinner
[360]
kill me
[362]
meanwhile she can't even remember if she
[364]
told the president to impose martial law
[366]
yo yo yo let me tell you something that
[368]
should be an easy one for most people if
[369]
you ever asked the president to impose
[371]
martial law you would never forget
[373]
something that specific like if anyone
[375]
can't say no to doing something that
[377]
specific and weird you definitely did
[380]
that
[382]
[Applause]
[384]
um
[385]
i uh
[387]
uh have i ever tried to steal a horse
[390]
and
[391]
ride it inside a bouncy castle um
[395]
your honor i do not recall um
[399]
but you gotta admit that sounds like
[402]
something a pretty cool guy would do
[404]
right
[405]
right members of the jury right yeah but
[408]
if it's not cool then i do not recall
[410]
yeah
[411]
i don't remember
[414]
so
[415]
marjorie taylor green spent the entire
[418]
hearing denying that she had any memory
[419]
of anything to do with january 6 but it
[423]
turns out my friends that there may be a
[425]
cure to this amnesia because
[427]
one thing that can bring it back
[429]
even if just for a little bit
[431]
is evidence
[433]
and in another moment taylor green first
[435]
denied that she had called house speaker
[437]
nancy pelosi a traitor to her country
[440]
before kind of
[441]
hedging a little bit when faced with
[443]
actual evidence of saying it in fact you
[446]
think that speaker pelosi is a traitor
[448]
to the country right
[453]
uh you're i'm not answering that
[455]
question it's speculation you you've
[457]
said that haven't you ms greene that
[459]
she's a traitor to the country no i
[460]
haven't said that okay
[463]
put up planets exhibit five please
[465]
oh no wait
[467]
hold on now
[468]
oh no no wait wait wait wait wait no no
[472]
no no
[474]
no now that you busted me i remember the
[476]
whole thing yeah yeah
[477]
yeah no no no no no no yeah i remember
[479]
it now i love that move yes that's
[482]
that's when you tell your mom yeah i did
[483]
my homework and she's like oh yeah yeah
[485]
well let me show it to me and you're
[486]
like oh homework
[488]
yeah i thought you meant my work at home
[490]
um
[491]
i'll do that now thank you mom for
[493]
reminding me i uh
[494]
yeah no thank you so much for that
[497]
look man i mean clearly this person is
[499]
unqualified for congress right because
[501]
politicians
[502]
are supposed to be good at lying okay
[505]
this was just embarrassing
[507]
okay in my defense i didn't know you had
[509]
evidence i mean i never have evidence
[510]
for the stuff i said i didn't even know
[511]
that was a thing you could do
[514]
keep in mind people this stuff only
[516]
happened a little over a year ago it's
[518]
not like they're being asked to remember
[519]
their prom dates eye color these aren't
[521]
trick questions
[523]
but nobody in the republican party can
[525]
seem to remember
[526]
planning the insurrection or talking
[528]
about it or even how they felt about it
[530]
at the time kevin mccarthy marjorie
[533]
taylor green jim jordan the list goes on
[535]
and on
[536]
when it comes to the events surrounding
[538]
that day it's almost like
[540]
it's been erased
[542]
from their memories which is obviously
[544]
ridiculous
[545]
unless
[547]
on the next season of severance
[551]
did you talk to the white house about
[552]
trying to overturn the election i do not
[555]
remember
[556]
it's one thing to forget work governor
[558]
to see mccarthy simply doesn't remember
[560]
what he said about mr trump's
[562]
culpability i'm not sure what the call
[564]
you're talking about jim jordan can't
[566]
seem to remember when he talked to trump
[568]
on january 6th i don't know if i spoke
[571]
with him in the morning or not i i just
[572]
don't know when those conversations
[573]
happen
[575]
but what if an entire political party
[577]
couldn't remember january 6th
[580]
did you talk with other congressmen
[581]
about overturning the election i have no
[584]
idea
[588]
that's a perfect score
[591]
sometimes
[592]
it's just easier to forget
[595]
hello
