challenging, moves to deport him over a visa mix up. ah, i bring gov, it's good to have you with us. it was a spectacle which shocked americans, a mob storming the u. s. capital, the seat of the federal government in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election a year to the day since those shocking events. you as president joe biden, has launched an outspoken attack on the rioters. and on his predecessor, today, he accused donald trump of spinning a web of lights to prevent the peaceful transition of power. and he said the rioters held a dagger to the throat of democracy, but that they did not prevail. tied to security.
8:03 pm
for a dark anniversary, american leaders monkey day of remembrance at capitol hill, exactly one year after riotous storm, the building supporters of former president donald trump had sought to overturn the election result. after the former president made false claims of election fraud. we fight like hell. one year on president biden condemned the riotous and their attempts to undermine american democracy, vice president they fail on this day. remember, insurance, make sure that such attack never never happens again for the 1st, but he focused his strongest words on one target in particular and not form a president mcdonald trump. he tried to prevent, the former president, united states of america has created and spread a web of lies. but the 21 election. he's done so because he values power
8:04 pm
over principle. and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. after a year of largely ignoring his predecessor orders, biden decided to take the gloves off when he's not just a former president. he's a defeated former president defeated by a margin of over 7000000 of your votes. in a written statement off to the speech, trump accused biden of using his name to further divide america. calling the speech political theatre, and a distraction from biden's failures. the speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi led a minutes of silence. remembering the security personnel whose deaths have been attributed to the attack because of them and are members. walter action tailed. this small event was attended by only 2 republicans,
8:05 pm
highlighting the deep partisan divisions that remain in america's polarized 2 party system. my 1st guest tonight is professor robert pape. he's a political analyst of chicago university and he specializes in political violence professor. it's good to have you on the program. you've been spending the past year, analyzing the capital insurrection with findings that you call deep, divisive and disturbing. and i want us to walk through just some of the highlights of these findings. for our viewers, you surveyed hundreds of people and i let we've got them appear on the screen for our viewers. you've surveyed hundreds of people who were arrested in the riot and you found almost 90 percent had no previous links to a militia group. almost all of them had a job in many of those were business owners or white collar workers, fewer than 10 percent were unemployed. and you found that the majority, 52 percent were from counties comfortably one by joe biden. in the election.
8:06 pm
i mean, those numbers, professor, they, they are not, i guess, for an international audience looking at this. they don't seem intuitive. how do you explain them? they are part of the mainstream. so we are used to thinking of right wing extremism or extremism in general, as coming from the fringes of society. and in fact, when we look at who have been right wing perpetrators of violence in the united states and in most other western countries over the past many number of years, they do look like they come from the margins of society. 25 percent unemployed. often 50 percent have relationships in gangs and other militant groups. what we see on january in this attack on the capital is a very different picture. it is coming from mainstream america. in fact,
8:07 pm
many of these folks have much to lose. so these are folks who have little to lose and therefore take risks. this is really quite disturbing because these are folks in the mainstream of america. so talk to me a little bit about what is motivating. they'll be because you just don't get up one morning and decide to go and attack the u. s. capital and overthrow an election result. well, you can really see what's motivating them in the court records. so with a research team at the university of chicago, we studied thousands of pages of the hundreds and hundreds of people been arrested in their records. and they say one thing over and over again. it is to stop the certification of the election for joe biden. and to install and restore donald trump to the presidency, and they're willing to use bombs to achieve those goals. so in the court documents,
8:08 pm
they're really very clear about their reasoning and their motives. they say they're following their orders of their present president trump. and was this a one off event or are you concerned? as many commentators have been warning us this week that this may have just been the beginning of a very violent period for american democracy. i'm concerned that this is not a one off we have conducted nationally representative surveys of the u. s. public for months now. and many of the commentators you're referring to are talking about are see post surveys which we conducted in the summer in the all. now others have done other surveys to confirm the results. what are those results? fully? 21000000 people in the united states believe to radical beliefs. one that joe biden
8:09 pm
to know a gentleman president. and to that, the use of force is justified to restore donald trump, to the presidency. these are exactly the same as the insurrection that animates on january there. and what that means is, there are 21000000 who sympathized with those who installed at the capital on january 3rd. moreover, 2000000 of the 21000000 report having attended a, in the last 12 months or 1000000 that they have prior military, 38000000 that they got. this is large, active, and dangerous. and so, as we go forward in the 2022 election fees, and we have to be concerned into what hinder and what do you think you say, tinderbox, what are you expecting for the mid term elections in november? and i guess i have to ask you to, for the presidential election coming up in 2024,
8:10 pm
we have to be concerned to replace the stolen action violence. we care. best way to understand that 21000000 is that these, this is combustible material, much the way dried brushes combustible in wildfire season that can be touched off by lightning strikes, or sparks well with political violence. we can't predict the lightning strike or the spark. what we can do is measure and assess the size of the combustible material. that's what scholars like me do. and what we see in the united states is a large map of combustible material. we've. this has been shown multiple times in our university of chicago project on security and threats. nationally representative surveys. now we have multiple new agencies this week. see the, the washington post nbc, all doing independent owing,
8:11 pm
confirming our results. that's why so many commentators are saying are expressing this concern. it's because the fact that we have multiple poles done in place confirming the same results means there's reality to this problem. yeah, and it also speaks to what the us president said today in his speech that this really is a battle for the soul of america. what kind of america americans want their country to be and become professor pate. we appreciate your time in your insights tonight. this is valuable context. thank you. absolutely, thanks for having security forces in context on say that they have killed dozens of protesters who stormed government buildings and several police officers of the country's biggest city almighty were also killed in the worst and ref, seen to the country in 30 years. cars, exxon's, president, cassim, jo martin tucker. you appealed to russia for help. and
