Steve Bannon evoked the beaches of Normandy. Michael Flynn drew comparisons to Civil War battlefields and spoke of Americans who died for their country. Roger Stone called it a struggle"between the godly and the godless, between good and evil." Rudy Giuliani called for"trial by combat." Ali Alexander said it would be a"knife fight."
As 2020 faded into 2021, some of President Donald Trump's most influential supporters -- among them members of his inner circle who were in direct contact with the President -- spoke in ominous and violent terms about what was coming on January 6.
Avlon: Here's a way to turn down the 'MAGAphone' 03:07On December 28, Bannon insisted that patriotic Trump supporters had to be ready to fight in the spirit of George Washington's soldiers during the American Revolution and American soldiers on D-Day in World War II."That's our DNA, that's where we come from," Bannon said.Bannon began promoting the upcoming DC protests of January 6. "l'll tell you this," Bannon said the day before the riot.
15 hours of chaos that led to Trump's impeachment 04:47After repeating the falsehood that the election was stolen from Trump, Stone, 68, rallied the faithful with an us-versus-them battle cry. "This is nothing less than an epic struggle for the future of this country between dark and light, between the godly and the godless, between good and evil," he said."And we will win this fight or America will step off into a thousand years of darkness. We dare not fail.
Fact Check: The lies that could define Trump's legacy 04:09Speaking to a fired-up crowd at the DC rally on January 5, Flynn -- who was pardoned by Trump in November after he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with a Russian diplomat -- managed to pack election-fraud conspiracy theories, violent innuendo and a call to action into a couple of sentences.
smerconish According to book by Bob Woodward, John Eastman shared 6 step memo with Trump, et al, that laid out how Pence could decertify 7 states to change election results. With other actions of his, shouldn’t he be brought up on charges of sedition or treason? He’s a criminal
smerconish Won't happen. Duh.
smerconish He lied about folks not being at the rally but being at the coup attempt. Some folks were at both and there is solid evidence to prove it.
smerconish Anybody mentioning 'antifa groups' automatically discredits themselves. You may as well blame bigfoot.
smerconish Sure there are photos of people at the Ellipse and at the Capitol. For sure.
smerconish Look away, look away,look away Dixieland. Every Trumpist defense seems to be 'forget what I did here, look at what (Antifa, BLM fill-in-the-blank) did elsewhere. That's nice but let's focus on what YOU did. Rare appearance of your x-exam skills needs to be more more common.
smerconish He really is the best. Have been listening to his radio show for 6 years. No BS, no yelling or talking points.
smerconish Wtf this guy needs evidence 🤣
smerconish Great interview & holding this guy accountable. If I can pick out the same people at the rally on television, marching, and storming the Capitol then other people can.
smerconish Why give these people airtime? Why?
smerconish There are pictures of Q-bacca at the rally, so basically we do know that people from he rally went to the capitol. Oh, and many said so, so, there’s that.
smerconish fakenews pushing for narratives not facts. Total out of context and dishonest.
smerconish He was president when he committed these criminal acts that is all that should matter if there’s no conviction then there’s no real constitution or law a president can not break madness
smerconish Good job with this Eastman character. He's a kook and I'm so glad my university, Chapman, forced this clown into retirement. Don't need him spewing his garbage to aspiring lawyers. He also fought against marriage equality. A real peach!
smerconish JohnEastman helped rile the mob, and he should be charged. SeditionHasConsequences CoupAttempt He also wanted proof the mob marched on the capital at the urging of TreasonousTrump. Taadaah TheDailyShow's jordanklepper documented it. Right. Here. 👇👇
smerconish Give me a break Smerconish you have John Eastman on there giving him airtime to spew his stupid baseless dishonest lies . I had to fast forward why do you do that?
smerconish He’s lying. People at the rally - which was PURPOSELY HELD THE DAY OF THE JOINT SESSION - marched to the Capitol. I know this because a dipshit friend from HS live-streamed it on Facebook. This isn’t hard to prove.
smerconish Well, the dems just learned what their defense is going to sound like. I’m surprised he went in tv and gave away this info.
smerconish DrJohnEastman Should be prosecuted in a court of law, where 12 Americans can decide if he incited a mob to storm the Capitol. I would vote to convict...
smerconish Unfettered lying... learn some lessons cnn
smerconish extremely irresponsible to let this clown spew lies like this uninterrupted and with little push back on national tv.
smerconish No more lies...let the bs-er’s find their own platforms ministryoftruth
smerconish There’s no such thing as Antifa! No leader, no website, and no T-shirt! Plus anyone who is anti-fascist is fighting the good fight!
smerconish Why didn’t you push back on him when he said there was half a million people at the pre riot rally?
smerconish Making a convincing argument that wisdom does not always improve with age, indeed sometimes it gets much worse, eg Sidney Powell, Giuliani, and Eastman.
smerconish Eastman is in the same category as Powell and Guiliani— delusional
smerconish Eastman spoke a full hour before Trump. He says now that the Capitol was already under attack before the speakers began. That means that Trump would have known the Capitol was under attack for over an hour before he incited the crowd to go there.
smerconish Republicans will argue that water isn’t wet... great job staying on top of his bullshit answers and excuses!
smerconish Flip the script, how about illegal votes for Trump. You can't have it one way and not the other.
smerconish Fake News Media like CNN still obsessed with President Trump? Oh! Wait what else they can talk about? Boring Biden maybe! Nooooooooo!
smerconish He should have pled the 5th lol... What a jackass!
smerconish Don’t give this clown any oxygen. See you in court.
smerconish Let's just stick with the basics. He continues along with Trump supporters to argue legality over something that was determined to be legal. That is the biggest lie and number one motivation that rallies these people. Most of them think they have the Law (legality) on their side.
smerconish Enlightenment...breathe it in Every leader should be enlightened Every person should know meaning
smerconish Michael, I typically don’t watch your show! Today, however, I saw a different side of your confrontational style of journalism. It was skillful and on-point! Thank you!
smerconish Turned this off in 2min.
smerconish Smerconish needed a mute button, but the guy sure seemed desperate.
smerconish Being a loud mouthed jerk doesn't make anyone hear you better... It does the opposite.
Inauguration of the 47th President of the United States is the most contentious in American History.

Biden's $1.9 Trillion plan doesn't include any funds for his 'Buy American' promise that's on his 'Joe Biden for President' website.
It’s infinitely more likely scenario that, after Biden gets sworn in, a left wing extremist who wants Kamala Harris elevated to the Presidency would be the one to do harm to Biden. Biden would be wise to ensure USSS always pats down Harris’s staffers before proximity is allowed
Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Proverbs 10:6
And no attention paid to what democrats have been saying for the past year...
Trump took his useless name, licensed it, lied & sold it as a symbol of success‼️ In this same way, he took racism & White supremacy (which was free) licensed it, coined it & sold it back to the apartheid loving bigots & idiots, for a fee‼️ That's called, 'The Art Of The Con'‼️
Truth never hurts unless you’re indoctrinated into a Cult. Trump is another Jim Jones, he’s lead people to the Kool Aid, a Cult leader. Problem is the leader has been destroyed and like a terrorist organisation has no leadership. Factions with different ideologies will rise
If only CNN had cover ANYTHING Democrats said about BLM riots (AKA mostly peaceful protests) in the same light as they do the Capitol riot, then no one would be saying CNN is propaganda machine of the left. If not for your double standard, you’d had none. SHAME!
I read this CNN article, and I feel quite torn over a citizen's 1st amendment rights. Where do you draw the line, who draws that line One thing is for sure, it is a very slippery slope. I'm flummoxed.
Oh I’ve been focusing on them. Not a single admission of guilt or shame. Par for the course (pun intended).
Steve Bannin looks like a thug + has a very nasty mouth.. “All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,' Bannon, Trump's former top White House adviser, promised listeners of his podcast -- called 'War Room' -on January 5. __that’s a blatant statement contributing to 6th Jan riot.
Focus on this, who is responsible for running the 'Q' operation which MOST CERTAINLY primed that charge.
