Mediaite editor Aidan McLaughlin speaks with Ryan J. Reilly, who covers the Justice Department and federal law enforcement for NBC News— he's been as tuned into the fallout of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol as anyone. His conversation on Press Club comes just after President Trump, on his first day in office, issued sweeping pardons to more than 1,500 individuals arrested in the Jan. 6 riots— people Reilly has been closely watching since 2021. He speaks on the astounding manipulation of public perception on Jan. 6 by Trump and his supporters, how Jan. 6 "broke the U.S. Justice System", and if he believes Trump will face any real consequences.

Today we go into a little more information we have learned about the cocaine bag found in the White House. The narrative seems to be constantly evolving from within the Administration and it seems to be fueling some serious doubts over their truthfulness. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did her normal hemming, hawing and stammering while trying to avoid discussing the issue, while seeming to indicate the drugs likely came from a visitor. This was later said in a Politico article where an anonymous source said, with all of the foot traffic, it's likely they will never know who dropped the cocaine. Now, I have a couple of theories, all of them worth at least a thought or two. Plus, to have some fun, my buddy, Jim Gossett, comedian and satirist, put together a short song to the tune of Eric Clapton's, “Cocaine.” The next subject discussed today is the ongoing effort by the Legacy/mainstream media to pretend the Federal injunction against the Executive Branch related to their egregious censorship campaigns is a huge over-step and laughable. Today we get another MSNBC expert, Ryan J. Reilly who chortles and chuckles his way through his analysis, as if the injunction is one of the funniest things he's read in a long time. Yet, for all of his sarcasm and dismissal, he never comes close to providing any solid points against it. Instead, he is left blathering nonsense that is easily rebuffed. Once again, I go through some of the specifics mentioned in the injunction and even remind the audience of the dangers or playing the mis- dis- and mal-information games. Support for a Ministry of Truth is, at it's heart, Orwellian. It must be fought and made to be dismantled. Finally, I wanted to play some sound bites from Professor Ian Plimer, a lifelong geologist who has written a book called, “Green Murder.” He eviscerates the fraud and the con that is the Green Movement and warns of the innocent deaths that will occur if nations continue to believe the lies. It's refreshing to hear how a real scientist approaches data and evidence versus those who put their faith in emotions and data manipulation.

This week, we're bringing on special guest Ryan J. Reilly, senior justice reporter at HuffPost, while Ken enjoys a deserved vacation. We've followed and referenced Ryan's reporting on prosecutions related to the Capitol riot for the past seven months and it's time to check in. First: what does it look like for hundreds of cases to move through one federal court district in D.C.? How is the system handling the volume? And is there any method to which cases have been charged so far? Ryan explains how the insurrection has impacted the work of the Department of Justice and the FBI, both in Washington D.C. and spread out across the country. With so many ideological defendants, it's likely more of these cases will go to trial, further impacting the system. Citizens have been sifting through the mounds of publicly available photos and videos from the riots and sending tips to federal investigators. Ryan talks about who these “sedition hunters” are, why they're getting involved, and why sometimes they're a few steps ahead of investigators. Is their help welcome? How likely are they to potentially misidentify a suspect? Is facial recognition software taking the weight off of beleaguered prosecutors?

In this episode of FEVER DREAMS, hosts Will Sommer and Asawin Suebsaeng welcome HuffPost reporter Ryan J. Reilly, who dishes on some of the wildest, least expected, and flat-out dumbest ways alleged U.S. Capitol rioters have been handed over to the feds.

Others get arrested following the help of amateur “Facebook stalkers.” Additionally, Suebsaeng takes the listener into a strange, dark ride through Donald Trump's “voter fraud” tipline, complete with deranged tales of dick pics, pornographic Trump deep-fakes, and “a hell of a lot of buttholes.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Here is an excerpt from that article: “Despite high rates of unintentional firearm injuries,1–3 and recognition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that firearm education is important,4 it is often said that firearm injuries occur primarily among inexperienced users and that firearm safety comes with experience and training. To investigate this contention, we conducted a study in which we hypothesized that firearm use would decline during the dates of NRA meetings — which attract tens of thousands of members from across the United States,5 including firearm owners and owners of venues where firearms are used (e.g., firing ranges and hunting grounds) — and that firearm injuries would also decline even among experienced users.” READ MORE HERE Article 1 Title: Irish town built a memorial to thank Native Americans who helped during FamineAmerican Author: Frances Mulraney A sculpture of nine eagle feathers will be installed in Bailic Park, in Midleton, Co Cork to thank the Choctaw Indians for their kindness and support during the Great Irish Famine. Despite the oppression faced by the Choctaws in the years preceding the famine, on hearing of the plight and hunger of the Irish people in 1847, they raised $170 to send to the Irish people and ease their suffering. This figure is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in today’s currency. READ MORE Article 2 Title: Harvest like Our Ancestors: The Resistance is Fertile Author: Ruth Hopkins **It’s time for the harvest. Traditionally, the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) are hunter gatherers. For generations, our children have gotten excited when the chokecherries turn black, because that meant they were ripe for picking. Buffaloberries and wild plums are ready when the chokecherries are. Wild strawberries and raspberries were ready a month previous, along with wild onions; prairie turnips (timpsila) were picked two months before that. The berries and plums can be eaten fresh picked, and are made into jams and jellies. Wojapi is a delicious dessert made from honey or sugar and berries, usually chokecherries. Chokecherries mixed with kidney fat and dried meat are also used to make wasna, ceremonial food. My father, who is a wild game hunter, loves pemmican. We gather first. Hunting will come in another month’s time. READ MORE Article 3 Title: 2007 Census of Agriculture American Indian Farmers American Indian or Alaska Native Farm Operators Author: USDA Census of Agriculture **The 2007 Census of Agriculture shows that U.S. farmers and ranchers are becoming more diverse and that the number of American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators continues to rise. The 2007 Census counted a total of 79,703 American Indian or Alaska Native operators on 61,472 farms and ranches across the United States. More than a quarter of these operators also reported another race. The count of American Indian or Alaska Native operators grew 88 percent from 2002, significantly outpacing the 7 percent increase in U.S. farm operators overall.

Reilly WASHINGTON ― Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rapidly shifting the Justice Department’s focus from Obama-era goals such as civil rights enforcement and criminal justice reform to conservative priorities. A draft version of the department’s five-year strategic plan obtained by HuffPost shows the Trump administration’s plans for DOJ include cracking down on illegal immigrants, aggressively prosecute national security leaks, zeroing in on campus speech issues, attacking MS–13 and restoring the “rule of law” throughout the country.

REILLY, THE HUFFINGTON POST: Evidently, I was not moving quickly enough for their effort them to like. And at which point I was given a countdown.
