In this episode, former GOP Congressman Denver Riggleman joins to discuss the concerning election of far-right Republican Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Riggleman explains how Johnson's extreme views and embrace of election conspiracy theories pose a real "danger to democracy" given his position third in line to the presidency.
Riggleman provides background on Johnson's surprise victory for Speaker, noting his "far, far, far right" stances and record promoting election fraud claims and QAnon conspiracies. He warns there is now a severe risk of Biden's impeachment efforts and undermining support for Ukraine under Johnson's leadership.

Drawing on his investigative work for the January 6th committee, Riggleman reveals stunning insights from Mark Meadows' texts, which he argues provided a "roadmap to the insurrection." The messages spotlight connections between the Stop the Steal conspiracy theories and the Hunter Biden laptop disinformation campaign.
Most alarmingly, Riggleman discloses that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was embedded in these group texts coordinating with the White House on election challenges. He contends this suggests potential judicial branch involvement in subverting the election.
Overall, Riggleman makes a compelling case that Johnson's rise to Speaker of the House signals the GOP's disturbing slide into extremism and tolerance of dangerous conspiracies. He surfaces the urgent need to counter these anti-democratic forces connected to January 6th that are still working to undermine the Biden presidency.
