S4E10 Debunking Disinfo with Riverfox

For the third anniversary of the January 6th Attack, I speak with Riverfox, a sedition hunter whose current role includes a crowdsourced effort to debunk the "Fedsurrection" narrative. We discuss what this campaign of far-right propaganda is, why it is central to the politics of the Trumpist movement, and how to counter it. After the interview, I will review some recent developments, to include the arrests of three longstanding Florida fugitives for charges stemming from their alleged roles in the January sixth attack. I also review some recent developments in the January 6th cases against Trump: 2023 was the year in which cases were finally charged against the apex of the January 6th Attack conspiracy, but 2024 will be the year in which these cases are tried. I'll then discuss what it means for the electoral prospects of a major party nominee who will be campaigning for the presidency while embroiled in multiple felony cases in different jurisdictions. Finally, I will review the numbers, using some interesting data visualizations from the people behind the X account @jan6thdata that show some intriguing patterns among January 6th defendants. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/former-capitol-police-officer-harry-dunn-announces-bid-for-congress/ar-AA1mvgED https://news.gallup.com/poll/311825/presidential-job-approval-related-reelection-historically.aspx https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-denies-special-counsels-request-to-take-up-trump-immunity-claim/ar-AA1lUOoc https://www.ijpr.org/npr-news/2024-01-05/supreme-court-takes-up-colorados-decision-to-kick-trump-off-its-primary-ballot https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/121120zr_p860.pdf https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/11/supreme-court-refuses-quick-action-on-trump-election-lawsuits.html https://cha.house.gov/cha-subcommittee-reading-room-fe781e74-d577-4f64-93cc-fc3a8dd8df18 https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/67891889/united-states-v-donald-trump/ https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24250215-us-v-trump-gov-appellate-response-to-trump-immunity-dc-case?responsive=1&title=1 https://archive.org/embed/TheKGBAndSovietDisinformationLadislavBittman
