4:07 am
a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about then all of those tens of thousands of people down there in washington the terrorists it wasn't them the they had it they were going to sleep med video i saw today alone nobody in the mainstream media say this video where the washington police were escorting bus loads of people in in-car they were fitting in with the. from supporters to make america great had to and so on and now i believe those people who can should be arrested and try but but the rest the vast majority they were not terrorists they were doing it the same thing they were sitting there protesting as it is their right to do under the constitution part of their whole thing is they're trying to keep us right this whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about they had too many different media so it's not just it's not just what their actions are doing in washington and how they're subverting our constitution they're violating all the constitution in the state or by only i mean everything that our country's founded oh and this. the democrats doing the
4:08 am
mainstream media regurgitates their lie that's why i stopped watching t.v. because you know i'm over here on our t.v. or some other place watching those watching your channels read that right to get something honest at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies and the propaganda and the distortions that they push out on mainstream media t.v. here in the us. donald trump has been allowed to tweet i think once again after being locked out of his twitter account for 12 hours the media platform gave the outgoing president a final warning and said that any future violations of the rules would result in a permanent about you all facebook has extended its suspension of terms of can for at least 2 weeks meaning no more posts from trunk power has been transferred to joe biden and c.e.o. mark zuckerberg said that the president's last message to post the threat to u.s. democracy. we believe the risks of allowing the president to continue to use all service during this period is simply too great therefore we are extending the broke

we've placed on his facebook and instagram accounts indefinitely and for at least the next 2 weeks until the peaceful transition of power is complete the social media companies are no longer a little bit restrained by the power of government potentially used against them which was what a donald trump presidency meant he was the one calling the commissions and interrogating what you're seeing now is their perception that trump has lost his power to do anything to them and they're going after him 100 percent this 2 week ban will turn into a permanent ban trump will no longer be seen on facebook or twitter ever again they're going to succeed at limiting conservative opinion from being spread and the result is the social media is going to lose all sense of restraint and do what they have wanted to do for years and that is completely stifle any viewpoint they don't agree with and all of those people in management and ownership are fairly hard leftists and that is going to be the only acceptable view i think some leftist will

elections a disputed in a banana republic not a democratic republic but now in the republic usually an unstable country with a huge wealth gap and reliant on the export of limited resources so how could this happen to america a nation that exploited regime change and revolution. we salute the courage and strength to believe in people who have protested against a government trying to steal an election the united states supports the courageous decision by juan puerto the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira or your serp or and call for the establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protesters in hong kong as centrist john staring message to the rest of the world about the trains of freedom and justice

turns out it's not soufan when it happens to you today was a dark day in the history of the united states capitol witness yesterday was not dissent. it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos and shameful chris made on our democracy it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right to storming america's quaint temple of democracy the left for pretending they're actually against violent protests despite months of riots and violent b.l.m. demonstrations and fiasco the season the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in america this is banana republic that we're watching happen this is what you expect to see in a banana republic journalists with equally confused a feeling of disbelief seemed to grip them to surreal i feel like i'm talking to
4:13 am
a correspondent reporting from the you know bogota c.n.n. quickly became the subject of ridicule online as they haven't been attempts to storm the colombian parliament in decades to into also had a stellar movement listing who and why do venezuela's self-proclaimed president among the leaders who condemned what happened in capitol hill who won why do over the past few years has repeatedly attempted the violent seizure of power attacks an army base and even climbed over the parliament fence himself. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget 4 people dead the halls of congress to thaw out and a terrible precedent since we spoke with daniel schorr who's a professor of latin american and caribbean studies he says washington has

before the senate foreign policy advisor jim jatra says the violence of protests is tolerated on the incident cases all along this year we've been seeing great destruction in our cities in the name oprah you know racial justice and so forth and there has been the sort of a deferential attitude toward these rights like well these people were upset because george floyd so forth they had been able good calls behind them and i think we see mr bines remarks is not so much an objection to what happened at the capitol yesterday which by the way was nowhere near as destructive as what we've been seeing from black lives matter and anti people all year but rather to demonize the people themselves to say that people who question the conduct of this election and that's what's of fault the cause behind their actions is what's really at fault and i think one with the things we're going to see is they're going to throw the book at anybody was ever identified as going into the capitol here they're going to be prosecutor they're going to be thrown in jail for decades probably in a way that no complete reverse of what kummel
