Doug Ellin, the genius behind the show, tells TMZ he thinks it's pretty damn cool Barack Obama once hailed it as his favorite. Donald Trump was on board too ... and now Republican VP pick J.D. Vance has outed himself as a fan.

The full video is 6 minutes long and the first 2 minutes do not have sound ... but you see the cop getting brought up to the roof of the American Glass Research Building.

Trump says people regularly claim the crowd was smaller than it really was ... saying he thinks a million attendees were there for him ... saying when you compare photos of January 6 with pics of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech, he's got the civil-rights leader beat.
