6:01 am
where corona 1000 factions of crossed $3000000.00 the highest in europe plus. one charge strafford life for bishkek the capital of kyrgyzstan where people are voting for a new president after what's being described as the country's revolution overthrew the government in october last year. with just 10 days left in his presidency donald trump could well become the 1st u.s. president to be impeached twice democrats want to hold trump accountable for the riots at the capitol building that left 5 people dead including a police officer the house speaker nancy pelosi says if trump doesn't resign immediately should impeach him. sadly the person is running negative branch is a drain just unhinged dangerous president of the united states and only
6:02 am
a number of days until we can be protected from him but he has done something so serious that there should be prosecution against him well i gather that the 25th amendment is off the table that is it nothing is off the table and that plan could be formally set in motion in the house as soon as monday with a vote likely on wednesday all this as the nation's law enforcement and intelligence agencies work to identify the perpetrators more than 50 people have been arrested there has more now from washington d.c. . it's expected that if it does go to a vote that it will probably pass fairly easily because all they need is a simple majority the democrats control the house of representatives narrowly but they control it but they want even matter much because we're also hearing about republicans who are expected to potentially sign on to these articles of impeachment as well after that though it gets
6:03 am
a little trickier because then it's going to go to the senate for a quote unquote trial as it's called and donald trump would not be removed from office unless the senate or 3 fourths of the senate agrees to actually for lack of a better word convict him there's 2 problems here number one can they get 3 fourths of the senate to agree upon that it's unsure on that and then the other issue as young as 11 more days in office would they be able to do that in the next 11 days that's also potentially problematic as well however we do know there are at least 4 u.s. senators that are republicans that have already said they would. and do believe that donald trump should be removed from office immediately that's 4 republican senators which is quite significant bottom line though is we do expect impeachment proceedings against donald trump to move forward as early as monday tuesday and wednesday of this coming week. now social media platforms such as facebook
6:04 am
instagram and snap chat have now taken some action to limit the u.s. president's reach twitter has permanently suspended donald trump the platform 1st took action on his account last may adding a warning to false claims about mail in ballots many of his supporters including some republican members of congress are going to alternative sites like paula it's become the number one free download on apple's app store this week both google and apple have suspended polishing their apps stores they say it had failed to remove content inciting violence let's talk to it larry maggot he's the c.e.o. of connect safely dot org he joins us via skype from palo alto california laurie good to have you back on the program now so so many of trump's supporters now seem to be rushing to these alternative social media platforms like paula how popular is pot and what is it telling us about the growth quickly of these smaller social media sites or pop parlor has become popular in the last few months more popular as more and more of trump's supporters i don't want to take and share
6:05 am
a bit of this but people who align with trump who may or may not be conservative flock to then especially at twitter and facebook at not only banned trump but even prior to banning trump had banned some of his most articulate air strike in support of if not because of their ideology but because of their behavior the problem for parlor as you mentioned not only is it being knocked off the app store ish but i'm just reading now that there is a possibility that amazon may pull its web connection on sunday and if that's the case it won't be acceptable even by the web let alone buy apps and as you say larry paul is already fallen foul of apple and google app stores for failing to police its content how much is that said to limit its reach within the conservative base if big tech companies are already looking at down. well apple and google would limit it to a some extent but as of now you can still go to their web site on a phone or on a computer but if amazon takes it down if amazon turns off their website or if they
6:06 am
are using amazon web services if that means a little he won't exist they face that they could be back in about a week but look you can take down it fights you can do whatever you want at the end of the day if people want to use the internet to conspire they're going to find a way to do it whether it's parlor gab or the dark web or however they're able to do it people will but it won't have the kind of reach to trump now has for example with his or had lived till till yesterday with 88000000 nutter follower if you will be a darker force on the web and laurie paul has been described as a free speech platform with trump already being censored by twitter and facebook how much does this open the debate again about online free speech in america and the power of big tech companies it does open the debate and if an important debate to have but it's also important to make a distinction between the sharing of ideas and ideology and advocating for call it the verses plotting things that are dangerous i mean there's a difference between saying you love donald trump and you support the policies
6:07 am
birth of asking people to come to washington to take over the capitol and so that's a very different kind of activity than just simply showing political ideas just a final thought to you i mean trump has already said he's looking to set up his own social media platform so are we likely then to see this cats and mouse game continue where big companies close down one up only for another to be opened up quickly somewhere else we are and we all fight off the worry about people getting into even further into bubbles in their own little corner from the internet and having absolutely no interaction between anybody who don't share the same ideology and frankly i think that's dangerous i'm not saying twitter didn't do the right thing but i do worry about the further balkanization of of internet communication a lot of my good thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you. thank you rescue officials and the major have recovered body parts in the wreckage during their search for a missing passenger plane the boeing 737500 disappeared from radar shortly after
