Yes, I will be watching the hearings. Just read Fox will not be airing them. Not shocking at all. They don't want their "BOSS" mad at them. The people that truly need to watch won't. Hopefully the rational majority of the country will pay attention and see the truth of what took place before and during and after January 6, 2021.

Peter Navarro is a whiny pathetic man. The right wing media complaining that they handcuffed and shackled an elderly man. What about the 75 year old man that got pushed down by Buffalo police during the George Floyd protests? He had his skull crushed in that fall. But Navarro gets arrested at the airport, how awful!!! 😏 Ari you did a masterful job interviewing this criminal.πŸ‘ Love that you made it on Stephen Colbert last night!!!! Yay!!!!πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

β€œJust read Fox News will not be airing the hearings”... as Melania Trump’s jacket says, β€œI really don’t care, do you?” They will use that time to spew more conspiracy theories and hate...they are Fake News and they are good at that

Hi Sandra!!! Hmmm!!! Makes you wonder if it's all Fake News, why are they so afraid for their audience to watch the hearings?

Sandra O, great seeing you. I was on a texting frenzy with my daughter, trying to become visible and see the whole gang. I’m exhausted! You’re beautiful!

I really enjoyed it! I noticed that my Zoom name appeared as my work ID. Don't use Zoom enough, so I wasn't expecting that. I do wish I knew everyone's Zoom handle to identify all of you. But it was great to be on a call with you all!!

Hi CG, looked for your info to message you, the other night, but couldn’t find it. Although it was different, I figured it to be you…And you’re right, so much was going on, it was hard to focus, not that I’m putting you in MY category. When I finally got on (visibly), only about 20-25 minutes of the original hour was left. Being a stickler for punctuality, I felt out of sync those remaining minutes, but stayed connected, to not show disrespect, by leaving early. Sandra O, and I believe you, spoke to me, but I was too petrified to respond, thinking l would be disruptive to the proceedings. Didn’t realize until the end, that it would have been OK. It was an experience, way out of my element and above my head. All of that β€œpoor me” said, it WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU!

Hi Olddiva, yes, I did πŸ˜ƒ. if you type in your response in the chat box, it is not distracting. No worries, I understand...it took me a while to get use to using Zoom at work.

Hi CalenderGrl, great seeing you too! Unfortunately once you log off Zoom, the comments are not saved (they disappear). I use Zoom and Microsoft Teams at work so I am familiar with the way it works. My Zoom handle is my name (same at work too).

Hey Sandra! Great to see you the other night!!! I wish we could go back to read the comments on Zoom. So much was happening that I didn't have time to scroll through them. In response to your comment here, I agree. They will push as much disinformation as possible to distract and cause confusion. It's sad.

Both of you are right, they are experts at misinformation and lies. It’s just who they are. Our problem is that we haven’t learned how to isolate it and to counterattack.

Hi, I actually found Ari's last interview of Ol' Pete, just hysterical. Ol' Pete is just a quart low, ya know, lights on and NO ONE home. LOL :) Why would any NORMAL person go back to let Ari have another shot at him.???

V....I watched Ari for many months (5 days a week)! That being said I have (like-it or not), been inundated from newspapers/radio/t.v./and this site....

That being true, I'm getting a bit tired having.. (just) having this damn "story" going on and on and on..I appreciate seeing how (Justice) works, but enough is enough..for me!

There's also another problem named SUBSTACK....I've had most days, in the past 3-4 weeks not being able to get through..in order to make ANY comment!

On that note, I'm going to pick what I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT.... but until this subject matter has been finalised, I'm seeing myself, (NOT coming aboard w/ you) as well as others

Fox will probably be discussed in the hearings considering so many of the hosts were calling Meadows in a straight panic for them to DO SOMETHING. So, I'm sure they want to keep their followers in the dark. Good thing there are other networks airing it. I need to check out Colbert. Didn't know he was on. Have a great weekend!!

Hi C.G.!!!😁 What a week we have had. So you were on the zoom call? I saw *CCalender38 was that you? I had trouble with the mic, and the keyboard wasn't cooperating. Then I couldn't see everyone. My daughter would come in and try to help me, but I didn't want to miss any of the questions. So I just observed and enjoyed the whole experience. Connecting faces with names was fun.. Hope Ari does it again. I will be better technically prepared.πŸ‘ Have a good weekend, stay cool, it in the 100s here today. See ya next time!!πŸ’—πŸŽΌπŸŽ€πŸŽΉ

Hi V! Yes, that was me. 😊 Next time, (if we do this again-I hope so) I'll make sure to look around, find you guys and chat before Ari gets on. I really enjoyed it! Great questions by everyone and loved that he answered everyone. I traveled this weekend to St. Louis to visit my parents and it's soooo humid and hot here. I'm really trying to stay cool. Looks like it will be in the 100s here next week also. 🌑️I hope you have a great weekend also!!

Because I signed up under my real name, because my daughter told me I could sign on with the User name (WRONG). Real name Alma; Black; large eyeglasses on my screen, top left corner.

Hi Bernie. I saw only the speakers for the first 35 minutes. Was so frustrating. Finally, I started frantically texting my daughter. She told me to go up top. I just started hitting stuff, then it all made sense. I remain so intimidated by it. It’s been a long day. Drove home 4am this morning, to get things done for the Zooming. It’s been non-stop and I’m beat, but this event for me was a culmination of all the newsletters and the writings. Calder, Ari’s assistant, is instrumental in keeping the balls in the air. Going to bed (7:45 pm).

Hi Bernie, just checking on you. Hope you’re more settled and getting back to your normalcy. Sending thoughts of serenity your way.

OH, Bernie, I can’t even imagine that. A friend of mine was visiting Kenner, LA last year, when a Hurricane came inland and OVER them. She was still shaking, as she told me about it days later. Said it was like a train, coming through the house-that she was grasping for dear life. Fortunately, the house held, as her daughter had built it with a generator and other necessities, but it’s just one’s blessings, should they get through it. Your ordeal sounds similar, and I’m sorry you experienced that! I pray that you get settled and able to catch up on your sleep. I’m so glad you’re safe, although β€˜shakenly’ well. We’ll take it, compared to what might have been. Will talk soon❀️

I will definitely be watching the live hearings! Your interviews with Peter Navarro were outstanding. He felt "safe" to lay out everything he was up to! And he was shocked that he was arrested and put in cuffs and a cell! It shows how much these people feel above the law. He, and all involved, deserve the highest punishment allowed for their crimes. I tired of these people saying it is "their" country etc. But great job Ari on getting him to talk to you.

Expand full comment

I would love to know why he thinks he can impeach Biden. People are down on Biden and I do not know why. He was handed a hornets nest. #45 didn't even have the decency to attend Bidens Swearing in. As far as I am concerned #45, Navarro, Bannon, Eastman and MANY more all need to be in jail. Any President that would suggest ingesting bleach or shooting protestors in the legs has only one place to be, in jail. There are several in the Republican party that need to be removed form office and barred from ever holding a political office. I am going to try to watch on Thurday but to be honest I don't know if I can. I will be interested in your take on all of it. Keep up the good work Ari I really appreciate it.

There is no reason and they don't feel like they need a legitimate reason. It's for revenge and it's disgusting. Also, not only did he not attend the inauguration (which I was fine with), but he made sure to not have a peaceful transfer of power. Utterly disgusting!

I will definitely be watching MSNBC on Thursday. BTW…Law. & Order are all reruns nowπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I (reluctantly) watched Mr Navarro last night on Fox. What an absolute joke. Tucker Carlson made Mr Navarro out to be this poor little 72 yr old is being β€œpicked on” for doing his job and claiming he wasn’t there on January 6th. Of course Mr Navarro didn’t go into what his activities were leading up to January 6th.

I would love to be able to watch #45 squirm as he sees what unfolds. But, I’m sure he go on a rant that it’s just a witch hunt

Thank You, Ari, as always to report the fact.

Hi Paula!!! His Fake News, Witch Hunt excuses are getting old. But to watch him squirm would be a must see TV.😁

The second half of my thought process (such as it is) about these hearings is that I'm worried too many of us have tuned out already. Polls show that fewer people recognize Trump's culpability now than did so right after January 6. They also show that more and more Americans just want to move on so we can focus on the economy, Ukraine, abortion rights, gun rights, etc. And, although I think "theatrics" normally would be in poor taste in a situation such as this, I'm afraid some drama is going to be required to grab America's collective attention. I worry that outside of Washington, too many people don't understand the gravity - the reality - of this situation. And, face it, if it doesn't affect them directly, they are less likely to give a damn.

Agree and seeing how the Depp Heard trial went on and on and became cumbersome, doesn't mean the public is ready to focus on another one. People are just spread too thin. I'll watch as much as I can.

I think Mr. Navarro, lives in his own world, just listening to him makes my ears hurt, let him continue to act the way he does and the treats he makes. We will watch and see what happens to him, arrogant man. No respect, honor nor integrity, hope they are all held accountable. Great article as usual Ari, congrats on your number.

I will definitely watch these J6 hearings because the whole country needs to know what Trump and all his cronies tried to do to keep him in power. We have had legitimate elections for many many years and this one person comes into our government and starts breaking laws and telling poisonous lies to create such a hatred to many people. He is a danger, along with a certain number of those Republican individuals, to what our forefathers put together when they designed the constitution, democracy, and the rule of law. We all thought President Nixon was bad for what he did but Trump surpasses him in the evil department by a long shot. WE HAVE TO STOP THEM!!!!!

I've already alerted my family that I will be watching the hearings. My phone, doorbell, and computer will be in "DO NOT DISTURB" mode to everyone unless they have a life or death emergency that requires my attention. I was struck by Mr. Navarro's statement that he will try to "impeach Biden and weaponize investigations against opponents." It sounds as if he still thinks Donald Trump has his back, and that's unfortunate. But, I wonder, specifically what he mans by "weaponize" investigations...interesting terminology.

Of course I'll be watching, not just for the content but *how* it's presented. I'm curious to see if that could possibly change anyone's mind. Then again, the people who should really be seeing this might choose to watch Fox News instead...

I will be watching the hearings & sharing key points on my fb & Twitter feeds. I'm hoping that ppl who aren't paying attention will watch the hearings and that it will prompt them to vote BLUE in November. I'm not typically a very political person. I have been moved by the trump years to be active in elections. I have attended protests, phone banked, written letters & postcards, I've donated to campaigns. This time around, I'm canvassing for Michigan Democrats. I feel strongly that this is a pivotal time in our history - I am not sitting this one out. I hope others are equally motivated.

V Garcia has said it well. Peter Navarro is pathetic. Yes Peter, some principles are against the law. You do the crime ya gotta do the time. There are consequences to bad decisions like trying to over throw the US government.

These people just can’t accept that Trump Lost. What a bunch of cheaters.They even had the audacity to call it the Green Bay Sweep.

Lock him up. Lock up Trump.

Yes I’ll be watching the hearings on MSNBC. I do want to know we’re the investigation lead.

Of course Fox won’t air it cuz they’ve been spreading lies , living in denial,

sticking their heads in the sand. They’d have to hear the truth about J-6 and they don’t want to live by truth. They want to keep their viewers in the dark.

But that’s were some people are at. Send them all to Russia. They are anti-democratic.

Anyway I’m sure it will be a very revealing report.

Ari, previously, I thought Navarro was interviewing with you in an attempt to recruit non-supporters to his side, and for messaging the DOJ. However, in your last interview, I detected fear over arrogance, for the first time. Your β€œthey can hear you” comment to him was funny and sad, that he spent years educating himself and has succumbed to this social/political/legal level.
