To be clear, I think what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6 was a riot. And I have no problem with rioters being arrested. I said the same thing about the riots in Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Chicago, New York, and even my beloved Indianapolis - where people had weapons, engaged in physical assaults of police and destroyed property.
I believe that riots need to be stopped. But this headline is saying that people who were carrying things legally are somehow bad people who wanted to engage in an overthrow of government. That’s not the case if they never entered the capital, never attacked anybody and never tried to hurt anyone.
Don’t get me wrong. You can argue that it’s weird, or strange, or odd, or peculiar that people would show up with weapons to Washington DC. And you can also argue that in Washington DC, many of those things may be illegal to have there in the capital. That’s a conversation about whether or not it somehow should be against the law to carry a firearm in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia, which I believe should not be against the law.
If people were standing outside of where they were screening people and doing metal detector checks, then what’s the problem? That they had lawful weapons on them?
The inference in this article, from of all places, the New York Post, is that those people were there to do harm. But, if they never entered the capital, never got into a fight with police, never drew their weapon, never engage in a fight, then what exactly is the issue?
If someone is lawfully carrying a weapon, they are not a criminal. Those who engage in criminal activity are criminals. That’s the difference.
And if you believe the criminality is entering DC with a lawful weapon, why is not criminality when someone from a Central American nation enters the country illegally?
I don’t condone rioting. I’m not about to start. But people in the US are often armed. Many carry a gun. Many carry knives. Many carry pepper spray (including my wife.)
That is not criminal. The Jan 6 Committee is trying to say it is. I disagree.

Florida Congresswoman Kat Cammack joins Tony Katz LIVE from the 2024 RNC in Milwaukee to discuss JD Vance accepting the nomination for Vice President and to share her thoughts on the monumental failures of the Secret Service the day of the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
Listen to Tony's FULL interview with Rep. Kat Cammack here:
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) now has NINE countries refusing to engage in funding because of the UNRWA's involvement in the October 7th terrorist attack on Israel. Evidence shows that 12 UNRWA employees participated in the attack by Hamas, both the planning and the execution. They supplied Hamas with arms and intelligence. Employees of the United NAtions Relief and works agency took hostages during the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel.
The United Nations, as we have long known, is an organization made up of some of the worst people in the world. Bigoted, dispicable, and obscene people who favor the destruction of democracy and despise western culture. The UN has never met a despot they didn't love.
What is the value of the United Nations? To protect the people who hate us?
Listen to our discussion from Tony Katz Today here:
Joe Rogan had comedian Bobby Lee on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, and they discussed how far left the political left has moved in their lifetimes.
What has happened on the left? In the past several decades of politics, you have seen that the Right/Left/Center dynamic has all but disappeared. The Left kept going to the left, dragging the centrists along with it. What we have ended up with is an absurdly radical far left and leftists. The centrists did not stay in the center.
Obamacare was once a radical proposition from the left. In 14 short years, Obamacare is now centrist, and the Left today wants to enslave doctors to universal healthcare. This is how far things have moved.
Joe Rogan sees this, stating that he "can't even see" the left. From "gender affirming" care to the release of violent criminals from jail and the societal collapse in San Francisco, he doesn't understand what happened to the political Left.
We understand. Hear our discussion on Tony Katz Today here:
