Tim reads from a Seymour Hersh article alleging Stephen Miller pushed the Minnesota ICE operations partly to justify disrupting or canceling midterm elections, and details John Eastman's scheme to delay or refuse electoral votes from Democratic states.
- Seymour Hersh alleges the whole thing has been orchestrated to cancel or depress turnout in midterm elections, with Stephen Miller and others in Trump's inner circle wanting to use violence as justification to shut down elections.
- Miller was a major advocate for ICE operations in Minnesota that killed two protesters, and he authored an earlier proposal to use National Guard troops to disrupt the midterm elections in critical states.
- Another plan discussed in the White House involves disrupting a future presidential election when JD Vance might be the candidate, conceived by disbarred lawyer John Eastman.
- Tim says if Hersh is accurate about this, the country will see something resembling the closest thing to a civil war, and he has no problem believing it given the money spent to put this administration in office.
- Stephen Miller thinking about using an event to depress turnout or cancel the elections is credible.
- Eastman's new scheme calls for sympathetic election officials in states with Democratic wins to delay or refuse to submit electoral votes as mandated by the Constitution.
- Eastman's notion is to avoid electoral votes from states with large Democratic pluralities so the number needed for a Republican claim to the presidency becomes low enough to turn a losing candidate into president.
- Tim says we're at a point where things people didn't think were possible do seem to be being discussed, and if Hersh is correct, there will be a huge issue.
