a danger and threat to the republic what has he done in terms of incitement right i am a son of bin ladin didn't do we will all remember you because when the cool you in a bold and you support it is finally mounted in your barricaded inside cowering in fear because it finally affects you a.b.c.'s political director even said in a noun deleted tweets that while getting rid of trump is not difficult cleansing his followers would be a challenge when it comes to the radicalization of trump space there are many factors at play as artist and explains. wednesday january 6th are permanently burned into our minds they'll be quite hard to forget.
10:03 am
right. the media seems surprised that such a thing could happen and 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 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 that do nothing democrats 3 washington democrats people. losing their minds to
10:04 am
crazy 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 zx many who support the president administration are either racists 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. you know they go lol we keep. the hate and division has grown so intense that donald trump warning and shake hands with top democrats in congress. every moment is seen as an opportunity to score political points things over and.
10:05 am
everyone's through is divide people not unite 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 live 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 once in a now and no one in the room likes kamel harris according to john l. j. trump the election is not free and fair if he is not the victor but now they're surprised
10:06 am
really. artsy new york and i say whistleblower william barney says media tax or something trumps had to put up with since the start. before the president trying to go up as they were after him they were against him from the very beginning i mean as a part of the swamp i mean all this rhetoric about them and all it's tens of thousands of people down there in washington d.c. terrorists it wasn't them they they had it they are going to shake my head 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 had to and so on i believe those people who broke in should be arrested and try 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 one of the constitution part of their whole thing is they're trying to keep us why this whistleblowers are not letting us get
10:07 am
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 they're finally i mean everything that our country's 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 rather to get something on it at least factually reported honestly rather than listen to all the lies and propaganda and the distortions that they push out on mainstream media t.v. your new us. tweeting again after being locked out of his account for 12 hours the media platform gave the outgoing president a final warning saying that any future violations of twitter's rules what result in a permanent bail facebook meanwhile has extended its suspension of trump's account and also applies to instagram and prevents trouble from posting on those platforms
10:08 am
at least until joe biden takes office and that works c.e.o. mark zuckerberg says the president's last 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 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 social media companies are huge and they fear nobody but government they cannot afford to have laws made that restrain them or especially break them up like the bell telephone company was broken up 50 years ago for monopolizing it of course section $230.00 the law that gave them freedom from that is insulation from being sued for slander or libel because they claim they are just platforms even though they constantly manipulate and limit content which is what a publisher does and publishers should be available to be sued if they slander
10:09 am
someone but platforms probably not like a stage in a theater or like air the medium of communication is the platform and if they meddle with the content they're no longer a platform they're publisher and so donald trump is trying to take that protection against slander suits away from them another reason they are so against trump the what you're seeing now is their perception that drum has lost his power to do anything to them and they're going after him 100 percent this 2 week band will turn into a permanent band trump will no longer be seen on facebook or twitter ever again and it awful lot of us fans of donald trump and i am certainly a big one will be treated the same way i don't expect to last the year on facebook or twitter all living former u.s. presidents have condemned the violence at the capitol rock obama called it a great dishonor and shame for the nation while george w. bush branded it an insurrection not worthy of a banana republic with maher here's our senior correspondent ron gusta. these

scenes a usually an act of desperation i reproved heston's and disenchanted moved his stool parliament and government pump out willed wide from bolivia to kyrgyzstan what america didn't expect was to find itself on that least this is how elections a disputed in a banana republic not solid democratic republic but non a 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 the new bully 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 your serp or and call for the

establishment of a transitional government with 15 weeks of protests just in home town a centrist john a 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 the scent. it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos a shameful course made or in our democracy it was an embarrassment and dual sides came out of this looking ugly the right to storming america's temple of democracy the left for pretending they're actually against violent protests the spike months of riots and violent b.l.m. demonstrations and outside fiasco the season the sort of thing that's supposed to
10:12 am
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 why 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
10:13 am
can just forget the holds of congress should have followed and a terrible precedent set. and it's not only politicians voicing concern over america some lends to countries that washington brands undemocratic here's some of the biggest being expressed around the world hope it's like a civil war kind of like science fiction. in the past the united states was a model of development and democracy but we can't say they're a model of democracy anymore. 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 our countries are not developed and disorganized these very. pro-american references to
10:14 am
a banana republic harkens back to the tabs of colonialism when the u.s. invaded naked eye which is 14 salim's in the beginning of the 20th century you want to project that this is a pristine democracy because how can the justify tensions with. one mosque down. in holcim in a city if they don't have their old house in order 1st let's be very clear we're talking about a democracy for the plutocrats and technocrats and big capital big money then yes the united states is a democracy if we're talking about democracy by and for the people not by and for the rich the ruling class. in the united states is a disgrace in sharon's a very serious measure of democracy by as president elect come laris has pointed
10:15 am
out that the way the police were active during the capitol hill riot was very different from how they behaved during the black lives matter protest outside the same building. we witnessed the systems of justice in what we saw was that lead extremists stormed the united states capitol. and another that released tear gas on peaceful protesters last summer. former senate foreign policy adviser jim john says violence at protests is
10:16 am
tolerated only in certain 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 sort of a deferential attitude toward these riots like will these people are upset because george floyd so forth they have 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 in n.t.p. 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 a 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 at anybody was ever identified as going to 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 a hero said this was not done to the people we're burning down america's cities
10:17 am
this summer. u.s. has shelf plans to slap new tariffs on french luxury gets they were proposed last year and retaliation for paris taxing large tech firms are to charlotte even skeptics of the story. well this is a huge step down from washington that was due to impose these additional taxes over the last few days on french luxury goods such as handbags but also on things such as cosmetics that were exported to the u.s. this would have added some 25 percent to those products in terms of cost and would have brought in around $1300000000.00 in terms of additional taxes now this was all in a dispute over the so-called gaffe or taxes is a tax france has been talking about imposing on digital giants here in france on the revenues and the profits that they create here in france this is tech companies such as amazon such as google facebook and the u.s.
10:18 am
has long said that taxing these companies for their profits in france in france would have been unfair this is what the u.s. trade representative is now saying the u.s. trade representative has decided to suspend the tariffs in light of the ongoing investigation of similar digital service taxes adopted all under consideration in 10 other jurisdictions those investigations have significantly progressed but have not yet reached a determination or possible trade actions well of course these taxes would have hit the exporters but the reality is they would have also hit consumers like you annoy you so if you're somebody who lives in the u.s. and you like a particular french brand of make up such as lipstick you'd been paying 25 percent more for it tangy been buying it if these taxes had been put on the here in france we know that the digital giants and said that they would be looking at passing on those costs to consumers here so it could have meant that french consumers would
10:19 am
have had to pay more say for their cloud services but of course this is now not going to happen at least for the moment but france isn't the only country in the e.u. that has been discussing how it taxes these digital giants for the profits made in european countries. we take note of the u.s. decision to postpone its unilateral trade measures against france relating to his digital service tax we stand ready to engage with the u.s. to find a solution however all such issues should be resolved at the world trade organization but let's be clear these taxes have been suspended they have been taken off the table completely and they could come to bite in the future and this is not the only tax dispute there is going on at the moment between the e.u. and the us there's also this a long running dispute over subsidies given to the aircraft makers boeing that is seen in the us and look to slap on fresh taxes in the next few days on certain
10:20 am
french products such as french wine and spirits say that is causing huge concern in that industry an industry itself pretty much decimated like many others during the 1900 pandemic and the e.u. has also issued retaliatory taxes. that too on some u.s. goods that come here to europe so it seems that trump may be about to leave office in the next few days biden might be coming into a fresh new white house administration but the tensions do remain high on taxes and trade between the u.s. and the e.u. . numerous key technologies are such to further disrupt 2021 that's according to the center for innovating the future it claims new attack is changing the very structure of business industry politics and society.
