5:03 am
maybe. right. the media seems surprised that such a thing could happen it's a very very strange fool to think today was a day filled with surreal who would have ever believed we would see anything like this really surreal moment i have never seen before this is exactly the kind of language that we are used to reading in the us press release to american citizens who might be in a city in the middle east during the crisis or a riot of this nature is well if you've been paying attention to american politics the last 4 years you really wouldn't be surprised this is the current directory that the united states has been headed down with both democrats and republicans leading us down this path. has been an expert at playing his supporters against the democrats from the beginning the left wing extremist right to

a ratio of voters eliminator police these people are lunatics these phoneys these the do nothing democrats 3 washington democrats people. losing their minds decrees meanwhile democrats have their own words to describe from supporters you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorable so many who support the president administration are either racist steeped in racist religious beliefs ignorant or as my mother used to say just plain dumb from the moment trump was inaugurated the rhetoric has been getting uglier remember michelle obama is when they go low we go high well it's morphed into this you know when they go low. you know. i may go low. the hate and division has grown so intense that donald trump warning and shake hands with top democrats in congress.
5:05 am
every moment is seen as an opportunity to score political points not smooth things over and. everyone's through is divided people not united people and all this is a president who has used everything as a dog whistle. raese what's going on and he doesn't want to say law and order because he can't because he'll lose his radical left supporters. and the media has been fueling the fire nonstop hey joe you were in washington for 47 years what the hell did you do to improve our lot during those 47 years. inability to restrain himself overshadows his talent for undermining democracy joe

biden himself doesn't have particularly strong views on anything these days except maybe one china now and no one in the room likes kamel harris according to john jay trump the election is not free and fair if he is not the victor but now they're surprised really. artsy new york and they say whistleblower william binney says that media attacks are something jumps out to put up with since the start of his political career. before the president trying to god as they were after him they were against him from the very beginning i mean it's a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about that and all it's tens of thousands of people down there in washington d.c. terrorists it wasn't them they ate they had it they eat for god's sake made video i saw today although nobody in the mainstream media say this that video where the washington police were escorting bus loads of people in in-car the word fitting in with the. from supporters to make america great has and so on and now i believe
5:07 am
those people who broke in should be arrested and tried but but the rest the vast majority they were not terrorists they were doing it 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 quiet as whistleblowers are not letting us get on mainstream media and we've been complaining about that to many different media so it's not just it's not just what their actions they're doing in washington and how they're subverting our constitution they're violating all the constitution in the state there by only i mean everything that our country is founded on. and it's the democrats doing the mainstream media regurgitates their life 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 it to get something honest at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies in the propaganda and the distortions that they push out on mainstream media t.v. you're not us. has been allowed to could have been straight again after being

locked out of his account for 12 hours the media platform gave the outgoing president to fire a warning and said any future violations of twitter is rules would result in a permanent ban meanwhile facebook has extended its suspension of trump's account for at least 2 weeks that means no more posts from trump until power has been transferred to joe biden and i would say mark zuckerberg says that the president's latest message post a 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 that 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 donald trump presidency meant he was the one calling the commissions that interrogating what you're seeing now is their perception that trump has lost
5:09 am
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 be surprised to find there on the target list because facebook and twitter are going to be very serious about what opinions they're going to allow on their platforms and some people who are fairly solidly left and have been for years are going to end up getting into their own traps and those people once they get started banning you they ban and ban and ban until one day they'll look around there's

nobody left on either one of their platforms but that day is a long time from now in the meantime it's going to get much worse. all living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violence seen at the capitol barack obama called it a great dishonor and shame for the nation well george w. bush branded it an insurrection worthy of a banana republic with his our correspondent broadcast here. these scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's in disenchanted view does storming parliament and government pub pounds willed why from believe year to kyrgyzstan or what america didn't expect to find itself on that least this is how elections a disputed in a banana republic not our democratic republic but nona republic usually an unstable country with a huge wealth gap and reliant on the export of limited resources so how could this

5:12 am
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 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 on capitol hill who won by do over the past few years has repeatedly attempted a violent seizure of power attacks an army base and even climbed over the parliament fence him self. what happened will stay in america's record for good this isn't something that you can just forget the halls of congress to thaw out and a terrible precedent since. it's not only politicians who have been expressing concern over america's semblence to countries that washington bruns undemocratic is to be on the streets. hope it's like a civil war kind of like science fiction. up there in the past the united states was a model of development and democracy but we can't say they are a model of democracy anymore one. in the yes democracy has a long history and when it ends in something like this yes people are afraid. to
5:14 am
present it it is very worrying since it is an example of democracy it is really the 1st time that we see such a fierce struggle if things go out there can have political and economic repercussions for the rest of the world. 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 in 2021. of the now 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 country is saying that arab countries are not developed and disorganized to complete nonsense much of it is completely crazy this morning i said to myself that well even in a crazy world and the completely stuck into by all the things happening at my age have never seen anything like this in a democracy these very. pro-american references to
5:15 am
a banana republic harkens back to that of colonialism when the us invaded that eye which is 14 sounds and being of the 20th century you want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can they justify tensions with. moscow. in holcim in a city if they don't have their old house in order for us let's be very clear we're talking about a democracy for the plutocrats and technocrats and big capital big money then yes the unite. democracy we're talking about democracy by and for the people not by and for the rich the ruling class. and on. discreet instruments a very serious measure of democracy. vice president

former senate foreign policy adviser jim jones says that violence protest is tolerated only in certain cases. all along this year we've been seeing great destruction our city has in the name upper a you know racial justice and so forth and there has been the sort of a deferential attitude toward these riots like well these people were upset because george floyd so forth they had to have a good cause 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 for 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 at 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 through the book and 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 you know a complete reversal what come along here has said this was not done to the people
