Oath Keepers Leader Stewart Rhodes Plans Relaunch for Trump's Militia

Oath Keepers Relaunch

• 💡 Stewart Rhodes, leader of the Oath Keepers, announced the relaunch and rebuilding of the organization.
• 🚀 He stated the goal is to make the Oath Keepers stronger than ever, viewing their post-January 6th legal troubles as a test that made them stronger.
• 🌐 A new website, oathkeepers.info, has been launched for the organization.

Rhodes' Vision for a Trump Militia

• 📌 Rhodes believes Donald Trump, as commander-in-chief, has the authority to call upon citizens as a militia.
• ⚖️ He cited federal statutes defining the militia as able-bodied males aged 17-45, extending to 64 for veterans.
• 🚨 Rhodes outlined three purposes for such a call-up: to repel invasions, suppress insurrections, and execute the laws of the Union, asserting all three are currently in play.

Critiques of Rhodes' Statements

• ⚠️ The hosts describe Rhodes as delusional and a traitor, highlighting his previous attempt to overturn the government.
• 🗣️ Rhodes' assertion that the border invasion hasn't stopped is seen as an insult to Donald Trump, implying Trump's efforts have failed.
• 🧐 The idea of an "insurrection from the left" is dismissed as a vague conspiracy theory.

January 6th and Future Intentions

• 💥 It's noted that the Oath Keepers had stashed weapons at a hotel for use on January 6th, indicating preparation for violence.
• 🎯 Rhodes wants Trump to know they are ready to act as a secret militia if needed, beyond existing border patrol and ICE.
• 💭 The hosts suggest Rhodes and his followers are living in fantasy, comparing them to fictional characters and urging them to address their own problems instead of plotting to ruin America.
