>>> WEVE NOW SEEN FIVE CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS ABOUT THE JANUARY 6 ATTACK, BUT ARE DONALD TRUMPS MOST SUPPORTIVE ATTACKERS TUNING? "THE DAILY SHOWS" JORDAN KLEPPER.

>> ARE YOU WATCHING IT? >> NO. >> NO? WHY NOT? >> A, TIME.

>> YOU DONT HAVE TIME TO WATCH A TWO-HOUR HEARING? >> YEAH, NO.

>> HOW LONG ARE YOU HERE TODAY? >> UNTIL 5:00.

>> YOU GOT HERE AT -- >> I GOT HERE AT 7:00.

>> WHICH MAKES IT TEN HOURS.

>> RIGHT.

>> WHAT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6th? WHAT HAPPENED THERE? >> I DONT REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6th.

>> JANUARY 6th, THE -- >> ELECTION DAY? >> NO, ELECTION DAY WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER.

>> I DONT EVEN KNOW.

>> DO YOU KNOW ABOUT JANUARY 6th? >> NO.

>> WHEN I SAY JANUARY 6th, THAT MEANS -- >> NOTHING.

>> THATS JUST A DAY TO YOU? >> YEAH.

>> DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE INSURRECTION ATTEMPT AT THE CAPITOL? >> NO.

>> NANCY PELOSI? SHE IS VERY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT WENT ON THEN.

SHE PLANNED IT.

>> SHE PLANNED WHAT HAPPENED? >> I BELIEVE SO.

>> WHY DID SHE PLAN TO GET ATTACKED BY A MOB OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS? >> SHE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO BLAME IT ON THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

>> SHOULDNT WE INVESTIGATE THAT? >> YES.

>> YOU MUST BE WATCHING THE JANUARY 6 COMMITTEE.

>> NO.

>> MY BRAIN ALREADY HURTS AND I HAVE NOT EVEN INTRODUCED JORDAN KLEPPER YET, THE GREAT JORDAN KLEPPER, CONTRIBUTOR FOR "THE DAILY SHOW" JOINS ME NOW.

JORDAN, WE CAN ALL USE A GOOD LAUGH AFTER THIS PAST WEEK BUT, MY GOODNESS, IM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD BE LAUGHING OR CRYING.

>> THAT TENDS TO BE THE COMPLIMENT I GET MOST.

IT WOULD BE FUNNY IF I WASNT HORRIFIED.

YOURE WELCOME.

I DONT KNOW.

ITS BEEN A STRANGE COUPLE OF YEARS.

I THINK WE ARE BOTH LAUGHING, CRYING AT THE SAME TIME.

ENJOY, EVERYBODY.

ITS AMERICA.

YOURE WELCOME.

>> WHAT WERE YOU HEARING BY AND LARGE THE MOST WHEN YOU TALKED TO FOLKS ABOUT THIS, JUST BLATANT DENIALISM, JUST DENYING THIS TOOK PLACE? I SUPPOSE THERE WAS A RANGE OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAD OCCURRED, LIKE THE NANCY PELOSI CONSPIRACY THEORY.

WHAT DID YOU HEAR? >> WE WENT OUT TO SEE PEOPLE WERENT PAYING ATTENTION AT ALL FOR THE HEARINGS AND PEOPLE WERE NOT BUT THEY WERE GETTING LITTLE BITS OF INFORMATION HERE AND THERE AND WE WOULD BRING UP SOME OF THE REVELATIONS IN THE HEARING.

IT RAN THE GAMUT.

IT WAS NANCY PELOSIS FAULT.

IT DIDNT HAPPEN.

OBAMA WAS PULLING THE STRINGS.

THINGS HAVE BEEN EDITED.

I SAW THE RECENT "TOP GUN" MOVIE AND THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL BUT I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO EVADE A MISSILE THATS BEING SHOT AT THEM THEY WILL DEPLOY A DECOY FLARE, AND ITS JUST A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT FLARES THAT DONT ADD UP TO ANYTHING AM THEY JUST HOPEFULLY CATCH A MISSILE.

THATS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TALKING TO FOLKS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

ITS NOT A COHESIVE ARGUMENT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6th OR WHETHER OR NOT THERE SHOULD BE A HEARING.

THERE IS JUST FLARES TRYING TO DISTRACT.

ABOVE ALL, IM DEFINITELY MAVERICK IN THIS.

>> YOU ARE OUR MAVERICK, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

AND, JORDAN, YOU DID THIS EXTRAORDINARY THING WHERE YOU ACTUALLY BROUGHT THE HEARINGS TO THE TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

YOU SHOWED THEM SOME OF THE KEY CLIPS OF THE TESTIMONY, AND YOURE BREAKING BRAINS.

LETS PUT IT THAT WAY.

LETS WATCH.

>> I TOLD HIM THE STUFF HIS PEOPLE WERE SHOVELING OUT TO THE PUBLIC WAS BULLSHIT.

>> LIKE I SAID, YOU JUST CANT BE UP 300,000 VOTES AND THEN LOSE.

>> BUT THATS TRUMPS ATTORNEY GENERAL.

DOES THAT SWAY YOU AT ALL? >> HES TURNED ON HIM.

HES BEEN PAID BY SOMEBODY TO SHUT HIS MOUTH.

>> EVERYBODY KNOWS THE ELECTION WAS FRAUD -- >> NO, NO, HES SAYING THE OPPOSITE.

HES SAYING THERE WASNT FRAUD.

THATS BULLSHIT.

DOES IT MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE? >> YEAH.

>> YOURE NOT GOING TO GO IN THERE RIGHT NOW IS THIS. >> YES, SIR, I AM.

>> YOURE GOING TO SEE DONALD TRUMP SPEAK? >> I AM.

>> GOOD PRODUCTIVE CHAT.

>> ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR, I ACCEPTED WHAT HE WAS SAYING.

>> I DONT KNOW IF THATS NOT EDITED IN ANY WAY.

>> YOU DONT BELIEVE SHE SAID THAT.

>> DID SHE SAY IT ON TWITTER? >> IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK LIKE HER.

>> YOU DONT THINK THAT -- >> IT MIGHT BE ONE OF THOSE CLONES OUT THERE THESE DAYS.

>> YOU THINK THAT WAS -- >> THAT MIGHT BE A CLONE, YES.

>> AN IVANKA CLONE.

HOT TAKE, MY FRIEND.

>> AN IVANKA CLONE.

I HEARD A LOT OF THEM, JORDAN, NOT THE IVANKA CLONE ONE.

>> WELL, AS SOMEWHAT OF A HISTORIAN THERE WAS A HILLARY CLONE THESIS YEARS AGO.

>> TRUE.

>> THIS WAS THROWING ME BACK INTO THAT MIND-SET.

I WILL GIVE PEOPLE CREDIT, THOUGH, I WAS SURPRISED BY HOW MANY PEOPLE ENGAGED WITH THIS AND THE GENTLEMAN IN THE CLIP YOU SHOWED TOOK HIS TIME TO THINK ABOUT IT.

>> HE DID.

>> FOR A LOT OF THE FOLKS I TALK ABOUT, THEY HAVENT SEEN THIS INFORMATION AND FOR SOME PEOPLE IT DID FEEL LIKE IT WAS MELTING THEIR BRAINS AND YOU COULD SEE HIM GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF THIS CANT BE RIGHT AND THE POSITION, IF IT SEEMS CONFUSING OR SEEMS UNCOMFORTABLE, IT MIGHT NOT BE TRUE.

THAT IS MY SAFE SPACE AND THAT BECAME FRUSTRATING AND INFURIATING BUT IT WAS SURPRISING AND REVEALING TO SEE THOSE MOMENTS AND FOR SOME OF THE PEOPLE TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

I DO THINK WHEN YOU HAVE THESE DISCUSSIONS WITH FOLKS, AND I HAVE THEM AS WELL, IT ALMOST BECOMES A GAME OF HOW BIG CAN THE CONSPIRACY GET? SO NOW BILL BARR IS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY.

AN IVANKA TRUMP CLONE THATS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY.

HOW BIG DOES IT HAVE TO GET FOR YOUR WORLD VIEW TO CONTINUE TO HOLD? THAT TO ME IS PART OF THE EXERCISE HERE.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING THE HEARINGS, PEOPLE BROUGHT UP THIS FILM CALLED "2,000 MULES." EXPLAIN WHAT THATS ABOUT.

I KNOW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CONSPIRACY THEORY MOVIES OUT THERE AND THEY DONT HOLD ANY WATER.

TELL US ABOUT THAT.

>> IT WAS A TALKING POINT FOR A LOT OF THE FOLKS WE WERE TALKING TO.

BILL BARR LAUGHED AT THE FILM DURING THE HEARINGS.

WE WERE CURIOUS IF THIS WOULD BE SORT OF A DEFENSE TACTIC PEOPLE WOULD GO TO.

IT DEFINITELY WAS.

MORE SO THAN WE THOUGHT.

ALMOST EVERYBODY WE TALKED TO WHEN THEY FELT PRESSURED OR IN A CORNER THEY WOULD SAY "2,000 MULES." ITS NOT NECESSARILY THE INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT OF "2,000 MULES" ITS WHATS THE NEXT PIECE OF INFORMATION I CAN THROW TO GET ME PAST THIS UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION? IT HAS BEEN DEBUNKED, LAUGHED AT BY BILL BARR HIMSELF AND YET ITS ANOTHER PART OF THIS CHURN HERE THAT ALLOWS FOLKS TO NOT HAVE TO LOOK AT IVANKA TRUMP SAYING I TRUST BILL BARR.

>> THE EVENT IN HUNGARY THIS PAST YEAR WHERE YOU HAD ALL THESE REPUBLICANS PRAISING THE COUNTRYS FAR-RIGHT LEADER VICTOR ORBON AND YOU WERE ABLE TO GET A GLIMPSE OF WHAT THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN CONSERVATISM COULD BE LIKE.

WHAT DID YOU FIND? >> SCARY.

THE FACT THEY WERE HAVING CPAC IN HUNGARY, SO WE WENT OVER THERE AND KEPT HEARING TALES WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU SEE A SLIDE TO AUTHORITARIANISM.

THE INITIAL JOKE WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT AMERICA THREE YEARS FROM NOW AND CAME BACK, IS THIS FLORIDA IN DECEMBER? YOU SEE THIS AS THEY WOULD SAY THE FROG THATS BOILING IN THE KETTLE OF WATER.

THESE LITTLE INFRINGEMENTS ON THEIR RIGHTS, THE CULTURE AROUND THEM, CONTROLLING THE NEWS SOURCES.

BY THE END OF IT YOU HAVE WIDE SWATHS OF PEOPLE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, WHO ARE LOSING THEIR PRIVILEGES AND THEY HAVE NO POWER OR RECOURSE TO REMOVE THE PEOPLE IN POWER.

I THINK HUNGARY IS A FASCINATING COUNTRY FOR AMERICANS TO LOOK AT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU SLOWLY START LOSING RIGHTS AND WHAT WE STARTED TO SEE HAPPEN EVEN IN THE LAST WEEK.

IT CAN HAPPEN HERE.

>> KEY FIGURES ON THE FAR RIGHT ARE NOT HOLDING UP HUNGARY AS THE SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT CONSERVATISM COULD BE BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO VISIT THE COUNTRY, THIS IS WHERE THEY WANT TO T
