2:03 pm
a stretcher bleeding pretty proof usually had a lot of blood on the side of her head on the side of her neck and. a. number of police and secret service were saying get back get down get out of the way she did leave the car and as we kind of raced up to grab people pull them back they shot her in the neck and she fell back on me and started to say she was fine at school and then she started kind of like moving weird and blood was coming out the mouth the neck and nose just behind me there are thousands of people there on the other side of me there are thousands of people so you know when when those folks move from the from the trump rally and speech where we were before down at the washington monument and they began to move this way it's a sea of people. way up at the top of this building apparently there are still people attempting to break into the capitol building there banging on the windows up there.
2:04 pm
what we're seeing are a series of flash bangs that keep going off it's the upper part of this this platform area over on the left hand side back towards the bill. the young woman who was shot in the neck or head area apparently was part of 81st wave of people who pushed and you hear those why the way more of those flash bangs going off. so things are about to get a little bit rough here let's just pan over here next so we have the capitol police are coming through we've got to move on ok we're being told we have to move on by
2:05 pm
capitol police. kids much quieter minus the police sirens here right there but there are very few people out right now no you know the last time we came to you all we got cut off because capitol police were moving everyone out what was happening at that moment was we saw the capitol police come essentially with their right shields. and a female protester was shot in the chest by a police officer in the capitol hill building she later died of her injuries in hospital the standoff was caught on camera and a warning you may find the following footage the stabbing.
2:06 pm
was. very woman in the video house being one tend to find as a force veteran actually bought it from san diego she was a passionate trump supporter octave learing her views on social media it's been reported that the officer who shot bob it has been suspended pending an investigation here some of the subsequent reaction to the demonstrators death. citrus would be very mean if ashleigh bad that was and then for of the lamb or n.t. for aslef babba died as a radicalized domestic terrorist violently assaulting our capital a spot of a little the small intent on harming the embassy of congress the united states government capitol police murdered an american mother a she supports it exposing the d.n.c. lies in our nation's capital her name was asleep bob it's there's another video
2:07 pm
that shows that this was a very deliberate act on the part of the officer in question. the woman was surrounded by capitol police who were heavily armed they were making no effort to to stop her from moving in she clearly had no weapon and yet she was shot there will be an investigation but the bottom line is this 'd when thousands of people seek to illegally occupy the capitol the united states while congress is in joint session on foresman has every right to use whatever force necessary to protect lawmakers from it any harm you know under those circumstances lethal force is authorized scott ritter on friday some of our other guests shared their insights and thing on folding political terms. this is sit decision this is an act to overthrow the us government people died this is beyond
2:08 pm
crazy this is a criminal act this is unprecedented i don't know that any point is certainly in recent american history has a group of has a mob essentially tried to storm the capitol during a basically a routine procedure i mean this is not the election this is the vote certification which normally gets basically no media coverage it's just routine and to see this level of iron this level of of anger and hate and passion really shows that things have kind of got off the rails in american politics this is not normal behavior in american politics this is honestly not all behavior in any politics to see this kind of violence happening on sort of a routine you know certification process there actually is great precedent for of this we look back at history we didn't realize that the the time the documents that were style next you speak of the declaration of independence those are merely contracts signed by evil who agreed to be governed
2:09 pm
a certain way and when they decided that they no longer approve of the way you know mr glover as americans i actually believe that the contract allows us to say we have you know how we don't like how things are going and we want to change we didn't we didn't change we voted our vote is not the cart and that's how the people feel think you have a right to make their voices heard and actually is in a carjack if you read the fine print oh the declaration where it says that if you tell the great and there comes a time when you need to do an upheaval of your government then you may use that this is a carefully planned political strategy listen if you are seen as the loser in a contest you don't have the same spirit behind you as if you're seen as someone. was wronged in a legal hearing and trump has very cleverly brilliantly shifted the narrative from basically i lost an election to i was wronged by the evil system trump is just
2:10 pm
getting started i cannot imagine that this is the end of it this is the midpoint if anything i expect that trump supporters who are loyal to trump who want the rest of the republican party to be more like trump they don't want trump to be more like the rest they want the rest to be more like trump i don't see this as as as as calming down any time soon i'm going to i imagine that the next 4 years you're going to see a lot more rallies a lot more potential violence unfortunately we're going to see a lot more ire and i do believe that trump's political career is very far from over everything that we are a hasn't been purchased through or he will do people say we need to not consent to being governments right and what you see right now is a repeat history and you see people standing up and say i don't like where this country is headed i don't agree with the principles i or eat that is the govern the democratic right that isn't that what you see right now it's not about treason it's about people who are american citizens saying that this is not what they signed up
2:11 pm
for facebook and twitter aren't just just censoring the president they're censoring basically anybody with a with a position that doesn't go along with the silicon valley narrative do they have the right to do it sure because does the government have a responsibility to cease any involvement with facebook definitely and most importantly do we as a as a as a community have the responsibility to say yeah i'm not going to be part of a an organization that censors people absolutely and so this is incumbent on us as people to say we will not be part of any kind of organization that censors people up to and including the president of the united states and i'm not defending mr zucker here trust me i'm not but he owns the real estate i'm walking on his lawn he's not walk. on my lawn if he decides that you've got to wear green hat on my lawn that i have to wear green hat or i get kicked off his lawn if he wants to charge me for being on his lawn then i might have an expectation of privacy or
2:12 pm
protection or freedom of speech but i'm on his lawn his rules elsewhere in the u.s. pro trump supporters flushed with pollie son kuntar demonstrators in the state of oregon. the scuffles appeared mainly to take place between the 2 rival groups oregon state police are still reportedly looking for one protester who threw a smoke canisters at officers there were no reports of serious injuries with one person arrested. for weapons these violent scenes had been preceded by months even years of growing political polarization in the u.s. with both sides becoming increasingly radical numerous left on right wing groups played a major role in protests across the country social media is also a prominent ground just hours ago the american president was banned from facebook
2:13 pm
until the end of his term the platform c.e.o. says donald trump has been using it to incite violence indeed even the reactions to the violence on capitol hill from mr trump and joe biden demonstrated it was deep divisions in the nation to smash windows to occupy offices the floor of the united states senate rummaging through desks on the capitol of the house of representatives threatening the safety of duly elected officials it's not protest it's insurrection we don't want anybody hurt it's a very tough period of time is never been a time like this where. such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us from me from you from our country this was a fraudulent election but we can't play into the hands of these people we have to have peace in other key development took place in the state of georgia or both bacon senate seats when 2 democratic candidates ultra tight race that means
2:14 pm
the democrats now have control over the senate they already have a majority in the house of representatives it leaves them with a solid grip on power in congress for the 1st time since 2009 while the republican party have some deep soul searching to do meanwhile legal media analyst lionel shared his views on weapons these chaotic scenes. it was terrible it was wrong there is this is not subject to debate taken to ask this question because i'm a former prosecutor i tend to think perhaps like this why were the police how was this if i were in the capital of if i were a senator or a congress person or a staff member or just a person doing business how do you go on to the floor of the senate how do you just walk in when they know about this and i'm not blaming anybody i'm not saying that because they weren't stopped these people are to blame please i've got to ask this
2:15 pm
question they had the national guard standing by you knew what was going to happen in some particular cases when would it be a lamb or are march breaks out or gets violent what do they do they they did we did call it a park or day they paid you know yellow black lives matter signs where the writing occurred to get wait a minute this this encourages that so we have a number of plates that are spending the 1st one is we denounce it the 2nd one is did they not know what was going on but in addition to all of this i'm watching this thinking it's wrong but my god why is there not one consistent action when ever there is violence does it depend upon who is the perceived instigator of the violence and by the way if you don't think there were agents provocateurs in this or you have to go back and look at these tapes and see who is who this will take a week to ferret out the international community has been reacting to events in
2:16 pm
washington artie's peter all over ticks a closer look now at what's been said by both america's allies and trifles. rioters storming one of the seats of power saying that they want to carry out a revolution isn't scenes that we usually expect to see from the united states and when it comes to reaction from iran the message coming out of tehran is there's only one person to blame for wednesday and what we saw last night and today in america demonstrates to failure of western democracy and reveals how fragile and weak is foundation is we saw what calamities a populace has imposed upon his own country over the past 4 years he's blemish the dignity and reputation of his country there's also been a response from china where the foreign ministry has put out a warning on its web site the chinese citizens in the d.c. area telling them to strengthen precautions that they're taking judy to the mass demonstration that took place on wednesday also chinese social media has been
2:17 pm
drawing a lot of comparisons to what we saw the capital building to what we saw in the arab spring color revolutions. in anti government demonstrations in hong kong as well now u.s. allies around the world have been expressing their shock their concern and the hope that this doesn't fundamentally damage america's democracy freedom up the peaceful handover of power as a result of free elections is the foundation stone of democracy and armed mobs spurred on by a sitting president who disregards the. u.s. congress yesterday we all saw yesterday that unsettling pictures of the storming of the u.s. congress these pictures made me angry and also sad i regret that since november president trump has failed to acknowledge his defeat and that includes yesterday what happened today in washington d.c. is not america definitely we believe in the throwing
2:18 pm
things of our democracy. we believe. in the strength of american democracy in the eyes of the world american democracy appears under siege this is an unseen assault on us democracy its institutions and the rule of law we've you see you know confidence in democracy been shattered quite frankly and there's no justification for the level of violence will stop a lot of shock being expressed openly by world leaders a lot of people wondering what comes next for the united states peter all of our taking us through that it's not only the world's politicians who have been expressing concern about recent events in the united states is the view in the street. monthlies that scene in the yes democracy has a long history and when it ends in something like this yes people are afraid. it
2:19 pm
is very worrying since it is an example of democracy it is really the 1st time that we see such a fierce struggle with things flow out there it can have political and economic repercussions for the rest of the world. and this is totally unacceptable because it means excuse the term to spit on what is supposed to be the constitution the will of the people to spit on the image of a civil state and 2021. of them they claim that they have democracy for their own people but i would call it a false democracy because it doesn't exist and it's all made up the only try to show a bad image of our countries saying that our countries are not developed and disorganized secret non-dance mcduff it is completely crazy this morning i said to myself that well even in a crazy world and the completely stalking to buy all the things happening it's my h. have never seen anything like this in a democracy. earlier we asked our guests how the events on capitol hill will affect
2:20 pm
america's image abroad. there's a lot of posturing biogen national leaders. particularly interests of their own. which. are making reference to the wall street but. double standards or have always 'd been a small change of forms so i wouldn't get to. these remarks or who serve as to our relations with. adversaries. in the near future as a result of what transpired when again we i was in europe in particular are very welcome in his plans to bring. into the senate to. progress and developments. climate change so i think after a few days of being used to it relations will 'd continue along its channels
2:21 pm
as soon as it was over i definitely disagree with the president elect of saying that this is not us this is not america this is exactly what america is it started with colonization of indigenous land genocide of indigenous people pillage of african bodies forced to work on stolen land continued it with jim crow and then of course perfected with the southern strategy of barry goldwater lee at. water richard nixon a new king and manifested today in the form of trump ism this is so called america this is exactly who we are and it is a cough for us to really get introspective and to look at ourselves before we even have the temerity to go anywhere else on this planet to preach ideas of democracy and justice and righteousness we're hearing right now from european countries who are looking at this nation as if it was some banana republic and so the scenes are very very troubling but i have to say unfortunately not too shocking. let's move on
2:22 pm

2:28 pm
for years i had treated patients with heroin addiction with high dose methadone which is the appropriate treatment and so i was thinking well i see how well that works for all these people and they don't tend to overdose on it or have a lot of side effects or have any problems so why wouldn't that be fine for pain patients i do recall individual young man who had a rough go early in life had some problem with alcoholism was in alcohol recovery a number of back surgeries and i was in the middle of a tapering course switched him over to methadone for his other drug to ease his
2:29 pm
taper and using misguided conversion tables. 3 days after i converted him i got a call from his wife that a doctor. was flabbergasted it's not safe for people who just have chronic pain to give them opioids because they don't have the years of tolerance built up that people with heroin addiction have to really understand the complexity of being that drug is a reflection of. training this was the published data i said there's something wrong here. and that left a. hole in my heart i still remember him very very clearly he opened up a shop that small business and was really getting conceit and he even gave me his a. 100 day to come running accomplish that information was dribbling in that the opioid miracle pain relievers were killing people is produce pharma and the other
2:30 pm
drug companies would have acknowledged a potentially lethal effects of opioids when these problems are 1st discovered hundreds of thousands of lives could have been saved instead they took steps to suppress negative information within a month received a 3 page letter from purdue pharma. basically saying why are you bothering the doctors this is not a prescribing problem this is a patient misuse problem this is a drug abuse problem patients need to be able to get what they need and then we got a year later got sued in federal court we were all of the medical directors were served in our homes current efforts to stop this overprescribing have been met with much pushback from the pharmaceutical industry they rationalized that the billions of dollars they were making helping more people than they were hoarding they insisted and still insists today that only those who are diverting and misuse.
