  1. “The truth has no defense against a fool determined to believe a lie.”
    “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it”

    1. @Zynathera The punishment should fit the crime. Four-years for trespassing on the Capital when Shaman caused no damage is not just. Others who did vandalize and fight police should be punished. But the vast number of protesters did not destroy property or confront police. They came, trespassed in the Capital peacefully, and left without causing damage. Mostly Peaceful Protest.

    2. ​@Watson Well since 1 side requires more evidence and less opinion while the other requires less evidence and more blind belief then you’re either some dude that copied the other kids homework OR you’re a uncreative propagandist.

  2. Proof and evidence convinces and persuades the reasonable. The unreasonable look for evidence of what they already believe to rationalize being convinced of it.

    1. The hubris of some people. They think they can continue selling “The big lie” lie with the amount of data and video out there that paints a different picture.

    2. The Head of the Capitol police who was in the middle of Jan 6 and was never called to testify said Carlsons show about an hour ago that when asked by Carlson the reason he wasn’t called said “i refused to perjure myself” The head of the police in charge of the investigation just blew this entire house of cards apart by himself

  3. translation: don’t believe the footage you see with your own eyes, believe us, and the emperor is fully clothed

    1. @Martin Deano And, btw, almost no policies have changed at the border from what trump had in place. the only difference is kids aren’t in cages anymore.

    1. How is this something that happened because the justice system dragged its feet? Not releasing video
      evidence doesn’t have anything to do with how long it took, if anything speeding it up would lessen the
      chances of a fair trial. Maybe you mean evidence coming out into the open is a bad thing?

    2. ​@Michael LaPlant Who was it that had a gun? Do we know who shot her?
      And you’re talking about complying with cops… So obviously you don’t fault the cops that shot people like Michael brown or the other “hands up” criminals that were killed during struggles with police?
      Also also I can assure you that if an unarmed person was shot like that during the 5/26/2020 insurrection, there would have been calls for the cop to face the death penalty.

    3. ​@Ninad Gaikwad Obviously many of the people about by cops had no business resisting so aggressively and it’s that that question is even taken seriously… But it has to be since they did.

  4. The fact our society is allowing so much discourse form people who took oaths to protect us. I believe once you give an oath ypu should be held to the oath otherwise it means nothing. ❤ GOD Bless Everyone

    1. Used to be police slogan “to protect and serve” now it’s not the police job to protect just to make it home safe

    2. ​@simon kenton Do you mean “The Big Lie?” As in the big fat lie they keep telling about Jan 6th but don’t want you to see the videos?

  5. One billionaire says to the other billionaire , ‘ I am getting worried . The people are getting together and threatening to rise up against us . ‘ The other billionaire responds , ‘ Don’t worry , we can always hire one half to kill the other half ‘ .

  6. The unseen video isn’t an exception, but it is a record of also what happened that day! Is this not NEWS?

  7. I hope everyone who watches this video also watches all of the video released by Tucker last night. Because in all fairness CNN is leaving out a lot of context here.

    1. ​@bluesrocker33 Here’s the thing, Tucker didn’t leave out any context. He said this was all the video they could find on the Q shaman.

    2. ​@Brent Hurley No police officers were sprayed hit with poles or other weapons that we saw. Those were out of context?

    1. ​@Chris Albert Your party’s death just began the minute Trucker rolled Monday night. You better come up with something better than Russia did it.

  8. Funny thing, I remember a time when CNN was showing fiery riots and calling them “mostly peaceful protests”…

    1. Many times protests degenerate .. Important is reporting, not reshaping the truth.
      It does not change what happened and that Fox tries to rewrite that. That narrative , getting support from Congress, should concern all Americans.
      Those manipulated fools had no business in the Capitol , peacefully, or not .

  9. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell “1984”

    1. ​@ferox965 you ascribe the label “radical” to someone based on one sentence they wrote in a YouTube comment… Sounds kind of… Radical, don’t you think?

  10. whats funny is they say he cherry picks the footage, then they cherry pick what footage of his they show too. its hilarious, and we are all just caught in the middle while they collect paychecks.

  11. Oh this will not age well. Imagine journalists who don’t want to see evidence. It’s almost like they are paid to tell you what to believe regardless of what you see. How many FBI were there and what was their role?

    1. You already know the answer for that. I’d suggest the FED leave Trump alone before it gets worse.

  12. Man CNN is not showing the part of Capitol Police literally trying to open doors for him and allowing him to do whatever.

    1. @Mathew Iamele if it is a crime, all officers who assist him must sit with him in the jail for assistance

    2. ​@Mathew Iamele No, but the police would be charged too as accessories. They generally do not instead receive praise/awards.

  13. Our leaders are committing their crimes in OUR name, and with OUR money; hence, it is OUR business!

    1. @Martin Carey then why is he not in prison? He’s on video saying we need to enter the capitol
