THE STATE I’M IN

I’m sad when I go to sleep
Sad to go to sleep
Sad when I go to sleep
Sad to go to sleep
Sad to go to sleep

Scared to think of change
Scared to think of change
Scared to think of change
Scared to think of change

I’m scared

And it all feels so wrong
Oh, the state I’m in

I hate when I think of her

Hate to think of her
Hate to think of her

I blame, it’s someone’s fault
Must be someone’s fault

I blame

And it all feels so wrong
Oh, the state I’m in

JANUARY 6, 2021 Part One - PATHWAY TO VICTORY

HOST:
And that’s what this is about, it’s about ensuring free and fair elections for all future generations. And beyond that again, it’s about supporting freedom in general, economic prosperity, fighting against socialism and all these horrible things the Democrats are trying to do to this country.

He couldn’t gather a crowd of more than ten people! And they expect us to believe that this guy beat President Trump, who won more votes than any other sitting president, first of all. Second of all, he won Florida, and Ohio, and Iowa.

RUDY GUILIANI - Lawyer for Donald Trump (R)

Who hides evidence? Criminals hide evidence! Not honest people. So, over the next ten days we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent. And if we’re wrong, we will be made fools of. But if we’re right, a lot of them will go to jail.

So…(bangs podium) let’s have trial by combat!

HOST:
So hopefully we get some good news this afternoon. Again, it’s going to be a long day. While we will get some clarity on what’s going to happen over the next few weeks, I’m not sure that we’ll have many definitive answers. It’s not like today we’re going to find out oh, President Trump won re-election or we’re not going to find out Joe Biden is actually going to be elected. No, no. We’re going to find out our pathway. So I think we have a very clear PATHWAY TO VICTORY, especially based on what Rudy Giuliani spoke about earlier. He’s saying that vice president Mike Pence has legal authority to object to the Electoral College. So…

I’m going to read a few more before the president takes the stage: Doc Schroom says (inaudible). Let us rise up and….Oh I don’t know if I can read that.

DONALD TRUMP - President of the United States of America (R)
All of us here today do not want our election victory stolen by emboldened radical left Democrats, which is what they are doing, and stolen by the fake news media, that’s what they’ve done and what they’re doing. We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about. And to use a favorite term that all of you people really came up with, we will stop the steal.

TED CRUZ - Texas Senator (R)
We are gathered at a time when democracy is in crisis. Recent polling shows that 39% of Americans believe the election that just occurred quote “was rigged.” You may not agree with that assessment. But it is none the less a reality for nearly half the country.

LAUREN BOEBERT - Colorado Representative (R)
Madam Speaker, I have constituents outside of this building right now. I promised my voters to be their voice. In this branch of government in which I now serve, it is my separate but equal obligation to weigh in on this election and object. Are we not a government of, by, and for the people? They know that this election is not right; and as their Representative, I am sent here to represent them. I will not allow the people to be ignored. Madam Speaker, it is my duty under the U.S. Constitution to object to the counting of the electoral votes of the State of Arizona. The members who stand here today and accept the results of this concentrated, coordinated, partisan effort by Democrats, where every fraudulent vote cancels out the vote of an honest America (sic), has sided with extremists left. The United States Congress needs to make an informed decision, and that starts with this objection.

CROWD
It isn’t fair. The people have had it. We want our country back. We want honesty. You’re sellouts and you’re going down. You take a bribe? You’re gonna to deal with America. Because we are coming after every single one of you. You called drove us crazy for four years. We’re coming after every single one of you and your family.
(Repeat “and your family”)

CROWD (towards police)
Joe Biden is a communist agent of China. He’s bought off. And you guys are standing up for him. Why aren’t you arresting Biden?
(Antifa wants to replace you, we’re your friends)
Instead you want to attack the people who pay your bills, pay your paychecks. Because you’re worried you might lose your job if you don’t wear that fucking muzzle. You guys are slaves to the new world order. You are stooges of the new world order.

NEW WORLD ORDER SELLOUTS

JANUARY 6, PART FOUR - THE LUCKY ONE

Let me tell you ‘bout the state I’m in
They notified the next of kin
I’m just one who made it out alive

When the lies and fury converged
We heard the roar, we felt the surge
I swore to serve, I swore to protect

(Break)

From where the anger, from where the rage?
The deception of the age
Who said it’s time to be strong

On they came, so red and white
So proud and so assured they’re right
It all came straight down on me

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Down on me

No retreat, no comply
I can only wonder why
What was, what was it all for?

I got home late, I kissed my wife
I chose this kind of life
My God, I’m the lucky one

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Lucky One

(Solo)

Let me tell you ‘bout the state I’m in
They notified the next of kin
I’m the one who made it out alive

A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER

MITT ROMNEY - Utah Senator (R)
Now we gather, due to a selfish man’s injured pride, and the outrage of supporters who he has deliberately misinformed for the past two months and stirred to action this very morning.

ANNOUNCER:
We’re learning more tonight about the Capitol police officer who died of injuries from the attack. 42-year old Brian Sicknick served his country in Iraq with the international guard only to be killed defending the Capitol

JIM JORDAN - Ohio Representative (R)
And now with one week left, they’re still trying. In seven days there will be A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER just like there has been every other time in our country.

ANNOUNCER:

JIM JORDAN - Ohio Representative (R)
The Democrats are going to impeach Donald Trump. Again.

ANNOUNCER
Today, arrested. Richard Barnett, who was gleefully posing for photos with his feet on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, and later showing off an envelope from Pelosi’s office. Today he was booked into jail, charged with violent entry and theft. Also arrested, West Virginia lawmaker Derek Evans, videotaped leading some of the mobs breaking into the Capitol. The attack led to the deaths of five people, including capitol police officer Brian Sicknick. Flags have been lowered at half staff.

JIM JORDAN - Ohio Representative (R)
In seven days there will be a peaceful transfer of power just like there has been every other time in our country.

DAN CRENSHAW - Texas Representative (R)
We’ve been having this debate forever. They’ve gone through some mental gymnastics to inform their decision here, to make you believe that the Constitution says “Well, we certify votes.” Well it doesn’t say that. It says you count them. It doesn’t use the word “certify.” The process that we have been using on January 6th is meant to deal with situations in which a state might send you competing slates of electors, which is what happened in 1886 and why they passed the Electoral Count Act of 1887. The way it has been used, in this election, the past election, objections in 2005, is deeply unconstitutional.

ANNOUNCER (reading comments)
Trump will be sworn in for a second term on January 20th.
Round two on January 20th. This time no mercy.
I’m going and I’ll be armed this time.

COMMENTATOR
This wasn’t a riot, it was an attack.
This wasn’t spontaneous, it was coordinated,
And we need to now reckon with the consequences

DAN CRENSHAW - Texas Representative (R)
And if you want to understand why, just look to what happened on Wednesday. Ok, the founders were very clear about this. Not only is article two of the Constitution very clear about Congress’ role, but the Founders, they laid out an additional explanation in Federalist 68, where Hamilton writes about this exact possibility. Why they wanted a decentralized, independent body of electors that could not face the kind of pressures that a single body in a single time and place would face, inevitably, from the president, from angry people, from stakeholders, from interest groups. If you put all the pressure on one body, you’re going to see exactly what you saw on Wednesday every four years. The founders knew this, they were very prophetic.

MITT ROMNEY - Utah Senator (R)
No congressional audit is ever going to convince these voters, particularly when the president will continue to say the election was stolen.

DAN CRENSHAW - Texas Representative (R)
Many members of Congress did do that. Many commentators did do that. Many in the media have been doing that. For the last few weeks, constantly, saying “This is our time to fight.” Well let me tell you something very clearly. They’ve been lying to people. They’ve been lying to millions. They’ve been lying that January 6th was going to be this big solution for election integrity. It never was going to be.

MITT ROMNEY - Utah Senator (R)
The best way we can show respect for the voters that are upset is by telling them the truth.

The truth is that President-elect Biden won the election. President Trump lost. Scores of courts, the President’s own attorney general, state election officials (both Republican and Democrat) have reached that unequivocal decision.

DAN CRENSHAW - Texas Representative (R)
You have to have these hard battles won at the state level. That’s where the hard work is done. That’s how you solve the important question of election integrity. And they lied to people and they said “Go fight. Our work is done. That’s how you solve the important question of election integrity.” And they lied to people and said “Go fight. Go fight because everything is on the line.” That’s what they said. And when people fought? They came to fight. And then they fought capitol police and now people are dead. And the same members of Congress who called people to fight? Well, they were nowhere to be found. Because it was all fun and games to them. They never knew what a real fight was. Real fights are scary. Bullets flying? That’s scary. Glass breaking. That’s really scary. They were nowhere to be found, they scattered. They were lied to about what January 6th was.
(Repeat)

AMANDA GORMAN - Poet. January 20th.

We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation, rather than share it.
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy.
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be permanently defeated.

And so we lift our gaze, not to what stands between us, but what stands before us.
We close the divide because we know to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside.
We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another.
We seek harm to none and harmony for all.

Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true.
That even as we grieved, we grew.
That even as we hurt, we hoped.
That even as we tired, we tried.
That we’ll forever be tied together, victorious.
Not because we will never again know defeat, but because we will never again sow division.
