just before inauguration national guard troops swarmed many capitals throughout the country into science you know having a presence in washington d.c. just before biden was sworn in there were more than 26000 national guard troops in the nation's capital city but they weren't sent packing after the 20th right now there are roughly 7000 guard troops providing security that number is expected to be reduced to some 5000 come march and now according to an internal e-mail leaks to the press troops could stay through the fall of 2021 the e-mail also reveals a meeting on feb 17th or question the department of defense to engage with capitol police were guarding post march 12th support according to pentagon spokesman john kirby the defense secretary is directing commanding officers across the military to select a date for a one day stand down to discuss military extremism he understands that one day stand across a force isn't going to miss you know as in the solve everything but it might bring to light concerns and experiences that were otherwise not aware and he was informed
2:31 pm
by his own experience in the mid ninety's about stuff that was going on in his in his command shortly after the inauguration several states ordered for their service members to return home this came after troops decided poor food and being forced to take rest breaks in a capitol hill garage the department of defense says the conditions were improved shortly after this extra security hasn't come without a hefty price tag according to the pentagon the cost of deploying thousands of national guard troops in d.c. alone run about $483000000.00 through mid march reporting for news views hughes natasha's sweet r t. ok so i'm only going to devote one segment to the impeachment analysis i want to do with the experts know dr c.e.o. of american majority and tobin smith c.e.o. of turn forward to research they join us now for one the one and only 360 view i hope to have on the 2nd impeachment of donald trump thank you gentlemen for joining us. so you would be scottie great to see you guys after 10 months i'm back in
2:32 pm
studio i had to start off my shows with you too because i know we just after the end of the 1st impeachment tobin come on did you expect any other difference in the other outcome of this trial than what happened you know of course not but the newsflash was 7 senators actually had a spine but i thought it was surreal that the same senators particularly hall. cruz guys who were as culpable as trump has been are sitting back there you know playing to winks and you know smoking cigs or having a beer during this case i mean that to me was just as an american a shocking disrespect for what the heck went on but maybe that's just me oh well i have a feeling that says a little bit different but i have to bring it to you ned you know republicans don't have much to brag about i know there was a lot of rejoicing that happened immediately after but one look at this phone in the vote they looked anything but unified this just confirmed there is
2:33 pm
a divide amongst the republican party what do you feel is going to be the effects of that isn't any moving forward. well i think the word in this situation is not unity but clarity scotty i think this is really been a clarifying moment moving forward as to who is on board with america 1st and who isn't so i think the 10 house republicans and the 7 senators for self identifying for primary challenges next time they're on the ballot i mean they've shown house out of step they actually are with the base and trying to impeach on bogus charges on a big lie scotty i mean even the new york times is now updated and in the real world he called retracted their story about officers. and the fire extinguisher and it's a big lie that somehow incited sedition and insurrection when in fact they edited their own video they manipulated evidence in the trial so of course this is this is a clarifying moment for people to understand who's going to side with america 1st and who's going to side with the corporatist globalist approach and i think it's
2:34 pm
actually been a hot race and to really see where people are coming down. thank god we got the guy we got the globalists any other ists that i mishear it's always it's the globalists it's the people who hate the real people in america or people who hate you know they don't agree corporate say you very much thank you thank you very much well i've been a globalist corporatist my whole life i happen to love america i happen to love all americans equally some last some days but the idea that this insurrection just came out of nowhere it's just sort of a spontaneous combustion that happened when guys all dressed in your heavy military suit they had clubs i had bats they had guns they had you know come on man this was if you look at the record if you look at the transcripts on social media hang on if you're going to think about social media they've been talking about exactly what they're going to do they had a layout of the congress they knew where the offices were if that just happened miraculously then you know i've got some land in florida the subway but that mean
2:35 pm
that i want to play they told me to that point i think i am relating your complaints may be completely ok then hold those people accountable. where does that have to go with donald trump and that's my question i'm all for holding those people accountable if they put that on social media but now to that point it would be easy to aim it at donald trump wired the republicans are saying fine let's write it on those people that probably did put that out there let's make sure that they're held in conviction for what they did that you know that i will probably say to me you know we're having evidence come out now hold on we're having evidence now come out that this was preplanned months ahead of time we know the pipelines you know end of the day before the r n c and the d.n.c. had nothing to do with anything that donald trump said on january 6th they were trying to pen all of that and quite frankly scottie trying to frame the nearly 75000000 trunk voters as though that behavior reflected them when in fact i think very little of it actually had anything to do with anybody that was actually a trump supporter i mean this was really about trying to figure out how they could
2:36 pm
disqualify donald trump for running for office again in the future you know it is open i mean even talking about the amendment which was used against confederates to try and deny that running for office back in the day now this is trying to disqualify donald trump and shut down dissent from any of the trump supporters asking questions about a highly unusual election but also moving forward of actually saying no we don't believe any of the narrative coming out of the media we don't believe the narrative coming out of the democrats including the big lie of insurrection and sedition one that's the thing to have been so so far no i want to add i mean i don't they're born. well the other the other of course the other big lie that somehow you always seem to miss every day is that for starting i don't know last march last april and numbers are sort of go higher the president of the united states actively said over 100 times that if we lose it's because this election was stolen from us now just let me ask you as a human being if the president of your country is telling you that if he loses the
2:37 pm
election that it's the fault of people who are stealing the election from the if you heard that what would you think john. actually. weeks ago in which they laid out very clearly in that time article by molly ball how they actually rigged a manipulator the election in 2020 i think there are a lot of questions that still need to be answered and they were self identifying in that time article so forget what trump had to say they actually came out and tell told us what they did very specifically in that time article toben i think we have to actually start to look at those people what they did and have strong questions about their behavior and what they did to manipulate the process in 2020 well and have an idea what i would tell you about what i would do and ask you thinking of this about the when it's because this was very surprising to a lot of people on saturday originally they voted hey we're going to call for witnesses and everybody got ready to hear the witnesses and then 2 hours later no
2:38 pm
no witnesses tell them what was that all about. well i think you know you have many sources like i do they during the recess they basically said look at we have 2 additional senators so that we're going to we would have the largest vote. in any of these ever happened and so if we could you give us those 2 in essentially of 2 stood up and say yes i'm going to vote for conviction then let's not waste our time and the people's plight for something that we know we would not win because of the intransigence of the republicans because they believe it's a technical error but then of course right after it's all done mitch mcconnell comes out and says exactly what i've been saying for the last fricken 12 months it looks people in the eye and this is this guy is a danger this guy is a fraud this guy incited this and he should go to jail oh but i voted for a quit on a technical because you can't do this ok my bad that was the lamest lamest i've ever heard never a lot of lame stuff out of the public got to give tobin credit there on that point
2:39 pm
makes mcconnell shot republican in the foot when he came out with his post speech because he didn't like he had a total double standard to what he voted for and what he actually believed you think well. at this when when lindsey graham is calling out mitch mcconnell you know that there are problems because lindsey graham said we're going to come back and bite senators in their primaries in 2022 and in their elections in 2022 i think mitch mcconnell just couldn't stand it anymore because again he was never fully onboard with trump i mean we know that behind the scenes and he thought this was a shot pulled back as you realize the political calculation but i was one of the dumbest most insane asinine speeches i've ever seen given because of the double standard what you just voted to not convict him and you came out and said we should continue pursue i mean it really looks like mitch mcconnell started to lose and quite frankly scottie if the republicans come back to the majority in the senate i think it's questionable whether mitch mcconnell would be majority leader and that's
2:40 pm
that now i mean you. you know look at i remember when i was a member of the grand old party i remember that above all else there was morality above all else we hold ourselves to a higher level of morality and of decency and and now you have someone from the who's obviously a mega right winger is now telling us that you know the height of the you know the really bad thing the mco that he told the truth but he really is going to screw up the 2022 election but that is moral if it gets to the moral as well oh and then your defense said go for it moral to manipulate how is it moral to manipulate evidence scottie if democrats think they have some moral high ground when they're editing out 3 very key words patriotic and peaceful from the video as though those words were never said i mean i actually like to have a conversation with the house democrat managers and how did you manipulate suppose evidence in a trial i mean is that right is that wrong is that the moral thing to do and if we
2:41 pm
want to talk about morality way we could start talking about the lincoln project all freakin day and that you're right it could be a whole other segment that real quick get this accomplished what what the democrats want did this actually take trump out of calling for the future or does in baltimore tell then from a democrat perspective no and you know donald trump is the world's greatest grafter of all time he now has another way to go after people and say. please send me $25.00 every month so i can i can save america again i mean this is just play right into trump's b.s. and guess what democrats gave him that gift maybe that's the best part here and you guys are my parting gift for joining me on the show thank you so much ned untethered we'll talk soon. now just on the other side we're going to take a look at the ongoing game stop saga and how france is reacting to the cannes thought colter stated. this is a speculative attack that elon musk is banking on the fed right so he's already
2:42 pm
going to want to sell the s.e.c. is already going to walk and he's shown them to be in capture now he's gone to war with spit and sound like a buy back my own stock i'm going to take your cheap money i'm going to buy it quite like michael saylor stock and now 500 other c.e.o.'s in the s. and p. 500 like you know it that's a darn good idea. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by the way. what is true what is faith.
2:43 pm
in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maid in the shallows. the british and american governments have often been accused of destroying lives in their own interests or you see in this these techniques is the state devising methods to him to essentially destroy the personality of an individual. by scientific means this is how one doctor's theories were allegedly used in psychological warfare against prisoners deemed a danger to the state. that was the scientific method of psychological torture psychological torture this is disseminated within the u.s. intelligence community and worldwide among the allies for the next 30 years and that's a big some say they still believe what the consequence is today. i
2:44 pm
think there could be a real debate about who hates outsiders more the political class or wall street well if there was any doubt just look at the clear message which has been sent by the elite in both groups over the last few months you know for those in politics don't try to run unless you commit yourself to not upsetting the status quo of your own party because if you do and just happen to get elected by the people they will quickly limited constrain your actions and you might also face public really ation with little difference from your fellow party representatives now for wall street there is never been a more obvious exposure of how the market can be manipulated than the events of january 28th when robin hood restricted buying on 13 stocks as it members were on
2:45 pm
a buying frenzy fueled by another group of members of a red it's a wall street bet for now for those of you still unfamiliar with robin hood it is built as a trading platform i'm being transparent and giving power to individual traders rather than of large hedge funds and firms now robin hood c.e.o. of lattimer tentative is saying his company they didn't do anything wrong when they blocked purchases of a certain stocks it was in order to meet deposit requirements from clearing house registered with the securities and exchange commission but is violence reason they passed the truth or the chest damage control joining us now is rebecca wiser of water wealth management thank you so much for joining back and thank you sunny ok so we are almost. the 2 weeks since his initial events of kind of i think surprised everybody but it's actually those on wall street it's in a very strong message to them you know the story since then has been buried by the mainstream but i know there is action that has been going on in wall street
2:46 pm
boardrooms to make sure this never happened again what are you saying and has there been any changes made in the short term well i think right now people are just still in shock that you know there could actually be you know the whole thing with robin hood is that it's a democratization of trading right and so what you have kind of coming together is this 3 kind of platform that came together with you know basically social media chat room reddit right and you had 3000000 people on wall street that's a group that basically said hey let's beat these hedge fund that their own game and their own game is the sure ok so it's called a short squeeze and not to get too technical but what happens when you are shorting a stock when hedge funds are shorty they're borrowing positions that they think will go down they're selling them as at the current higher rate and then as they go down they basically buy them back at a lower price make a profit or replace them so they're really truly betting against the stock so basically what happened was this chat room group said hey let's all buy these
2:47 pm
particular stocks and specifically game stop and answer because you bet yes and let's make we call a short squeeze on these hedge funds and it did cost a certain had fun over $2000000000.00 so then you saw that was in the 27th you know really starting but the 27th was really the culmination of it and then the 28th is when they shut down trading on specific as you said 13 positions and it really said wow and they didn't use the reason as they needed to obviously need capital requirements but they were able to raise those capital requirements very quickly so that's the problem and that's the question is what really happened here if you look behind the scenes there are there is some smoke well there is evidence of smoke but you know what this is the thing is there's some ethical disclosures and then we also there are legal disclosures and iran would have visa like that they actually needed to disclose their relationship with these other trading houses that we're now finding out about to basically those who use their services. yeah unfortunately
2:48 pm
i haven't had a chance to actually look at their legal disclosure when you found but they probably are in there you know sigh that they outsourced trading on to certain platforms and that's where they're broadcom then right because what is going on is robin has outsourcing about 65 percent of their trade to a group called citadel securities which is a clearinghouse but they are an affiliate of citadel the hedge funds which have a position in the short and was affected and also they mellon capital which is never had on that short that basically took a few 1000000000 are lost they sure they short of their short earlier part of the week and then all of sudden trading stocks and then you had the dow that you had fun affiliate curies with the trades for robin hood sure you know shoring it up on the 28 or after the post closing only physician in other words being squeezed out of being able to buy the stock any further well and then there's a lot of conversation right now going on because robin hood was basically free per se to those that use it sort of like social media do you think it was kind of naive
2:49 pm
for those and nothing against the robin hood those a user service but it was a kind of naive for them to not know than the fine print that robin hood has to make their money somewhere they have to pay their bills and they're big mega mansions they probably have some of the their corporate c.e.o.'s have that there were collecting something and making money somewhere even if it wasn't on that specific person and their trade they did was it naive of those robin-hood users to not read the fine print and realize that basically their data and their formation just like social media and being sold to other people that was using that to go up against them. that and that is then that's just i this is this is data and information is the new currency right so if you can aggregate a bunch of independent retail investors onto your platform act you know all their trees are free have all these you know no minimum to all these crazy things low margin requirements all this stuff and yet there it you know you have people come to you in droves but now what you have you have all of the data you know millions
2:50 pm
and millions of retail traders that you can then sell selling their trade orders to an affiliate just curious specifically 65 percent increase and you know here is using that data for and so you know the question that is has been arisen about front running which is basically using aggregated nonpublic data for you know insider trading and it is a problem and this is what i think people are most upset about is that hedge funds all the time have all kinds of aggregated data because they're so large they know the type of large transactions that they're acting alone could affect the market and there's nothing like on the retail side and show you get a robin hood combined with the public chat room with millions of users and now all this and you have a massive group of people that can make a difference in the market and can you know impact it which is exactly what happened here and this is why it's a problem because the 2nd that happened they shut it down and now talking to work and i think that is something that maybe possibly behind the scenes was part of the
2:51 pm
goal was to expose that robin hood was not just this free and transparent corporation as they're being sold thank you so much for joining us as we're back and we will continue to follow the things already. so now as americans try to debate how awoke they want to be under this new administration this new time we're living in those outside the country are starting to get more and more upset as their intellectual cultural heritage are also beginning to come under attack do other countries have a reason to be upset at this new social science theories which are finding themselves being imported from the united states will show the devinsky joins us to talk about how france is telling the threat of awoke america and their ideas. now it's not unusual for an idea to strive to have in the united states and to be exported all over the world heck that's exactly what hollywood was designed to do it was a little bit more unusual is just quite how upset french intellectuals and politicians are said to be overt some of the most recent exports pointing question would be
2:52 pm
black likes matter and only 2 movements now the french have bristled at the idea of americans telling them that they are racist all that racism in france is systemic now is not is a that there are not programs table what i mean by is one example somebody saying to me that when african-americans was still in chains in the us crossed sort of 1st black person being elected to the parliament here so in their mind they were way ahead of considering the state of race relations in america right now it doesn't look like their solutions work so well so i'm not sure we need them really but the other thing is that there's this whole speech and discussion about half colonialist it is to impose a different culture on on on unsuspecting populations and the french are saying well you are imposing something that may or may not work for your country but it's
2:53 pm
not working for from now if i say the word france i bet 3 things are going to come to mind once katy cheese with wine and of course 11 or luck because hugh doesn't have carrots on that top of that romantic destination getaway list so when the need to movement flooded over the atlantic and suddenly the french were being told normal they didn't like it so much so that even hardcore french feminists like the actress bridget i don't signed a letter describing the need to movement is being ridiculous and hypocritical and essentially said that this was a witch hunt against men now the so-called cancer culture has really. he had that blood boiling ringback and one of the biggest newspapers in farsi a more and even took offense when a new director of the paris opera issued a diktats saying that if she wanted to diversify so often and blackface the 1st of all france doesn't collate figures when it comes to race and religion because
2:54 pm
essentially it says that these things are irrelevant because everybody in france is considered to be equal so the editor in chief of the role sent something along the lines of cancel culture being a continental sport in america which aimed to wipe off the map the works that symbolize the domination all through white man that others including president michael of france are taking aim at the us press particularly in the wake of a spate of islam if terror attacks it took place draws the end of 2020 at present matters quite the coverage in the us press has been biased and said that it legitimized the violence this lack of solidarity as he saw right when packing as others stories came after teaching here for us it was a head it in an islam s. terror attack talk about being pretty close to the bone others say this problem is much deeper it's a threat to its political identity is
2:55 pm
a threat to the republic and to french democracy and to the functioning of the state it's not a matter of cultural identity far off there is no simple left right divide like you've got with the democrats and the republicans in the united states dispatched to what happened in the aftermath of last month's election in the us left the french true belief oh god how could people be so divided they sort or whatever happened to all different problems listening to each other efforts to get along is tree of intellectual estimates of course the country in want to. say yes when donald trump jr treated even the french are radical or yes what gives an. rollo. well that is all for dave woke show follow me on twitter at guardian here that hash tag here in v.a. or for you to.
2:56 pm
