As the lines that used to distinguish the political and the legal are blurring, and the sense that the country is swirling down the drain is hard to shake, it's nice to at least have good company. Rob and Peter chat with Andy McCarthy to discuss the 'impeachment inquiry' into the Biden Family's influence peddling and the administration's apparent obstruction.

And if you're in need of a good cheering up, you can hear about swell innovations in toilet seating. Maybe political chaos will be good for Capitalism!?

- Sound clip for the open is Kevin McCarthy announcing the inquiry.

    FOX News host Tucker Carlson presented some of the footage of January 6th he received from Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy on Monday that showed how the January 6th committee selectively used the footage to make Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) look like a coward. The January 6th committee showed the part of the video of only Hawley running. In fact, Hawley was with a series of lawmakers who were being directed by the Capitol Hill police to leave the building. Hawley was one of the last to leave.

    CARLSON: But in fact, the surveillance footage we reviewed showed that famous clip was a sham, edited deceptively by the January 6th committee. The clip was propaganda, not evidence. The actual videotape shows that Hawley was one of many lawmakers being ushered out of the building by Capitol Hill police officers. In fact, he was at the back of the pack.

    That coward tape was a lie, one of many from the January 6th committee.

    I forget where I heard this. I heard one of those guys that has read all of the Federalist Paper you-kow-what, say that they never intended for it to be used unless they knew it was going to pass the Senate. It wasn't supposed to be used, unless it had an obviously bipartisan and national imperative. It also wasn't supposed to be used in the first term for POTUS.
