>>> WERE NOW ALMOST HALFWAY >>> WERE NOW ALMOST HALFWAY THROUGH 2021. BUT POLITICS IS BRINGS US BACK AGAIN, ALL THE WAY TO 1984. GEORGE ORWELLS ICONIC BOOK EXPLORING HOW FASCISM IS INTERTWINED WITH LIES. IT NEEDS MOVEMENTS THAT ARE BUILT AROUND LIES. HE FAMOUSLY WROTE, THE PARTY TOLD YOU TO REJECT THE EVIDENCE OF YOUR EYES AND EARS AS ITS FINAL, MOST ESSENTIAL COMMAND. MANY PEOPLE LIE FROM TIME TO TIME. THATS NOT WHAT ORWELL WAS DIS DISCUSS DISCUSSING. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS DEMAND MASS ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR SEPARATE TRUTH, AND WHY THAT IS SO DANGEROUS. WHILE THE WORLD SAW THE MAGA INSURRECTION ON JANUARY 6th, LEADING TO HUNDREDS OF INDICTMENTS, AND THE GREATER ORWELLIAN PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. WITH REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS BASICALLY GOING A WHOLE DIFFERENT DIRECTION. THERE HAVE BEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HONEST ABOUT JANUARY 6th, ALTHOUGH THATS A LOW BAR. SENATOR McCONNELL SAID IT WAS AN INSURRECTION. BUT WERE SEEING SOMETHING ACCELERATE. MORE AND MORE CONSERVATIVE LEADERS REJECTING THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR EYES AND EARS, BECOMING A LITMUS TEST FOR THEM. RIGHT NOW, WE TURN TO A SPECIAL FACT CHECK TO SWIFTLY SHRED TEN OF THE EMERGING LIES ABOUT THESE RIOTS. WERE NOT GOING TO RE-AIR ANY MISINFORMATION ON ITS OWN. ANYTHING YOU HEAR WILL BE PLAYED WITH THE ACTUAL DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF WHAT ACTUALLY OCCURRED. NUMBER TEN, THE MEGAPHONE OVER AT FOX NEWS WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TAKE ON THE INSURRECTION. >> WHAT HAPPENED TODAY WILL BE USED TO JUSTIFY TRIPPING YOU OF THE RIGHTS YOU WERE BORN WITH AS AN AMERICAN. >> OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A HUGE
VICTORY FOR THOSE PROTESTERS. VICTORY FOR THOSE PROTESTERS. REPORTS THAT ANTIFA SYMPATHIZERS MAY HAVE BEEN SPRINGKLED THROUGH THE CROWD. >> NUMBER NINE, ALABAMA CONGRESSMAN MO BROOKS, WHO LIED ABOUT WHO SHOWED UP. >> TODAY IS THE DAY AMERICAN PATRIOTS START TAKING DOWN NAMES AND KICKING ASS! >> IT COULD BE ANY NUMBER OF OTHER GROUPS, ANARCHISTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU. >> IT OCCURRED TO ME THAT NO ONE ENGAGED IN ANY VIOLENCE AS A RESULT OF MY SPEECH OR ANY OTHERS. >> NUMBER EIGHT, CONGRESSMAN PAUL GOSAR, WHO SAYS THEY WERE NOT VIOLENT. >> THE TRUTH IS BEING CENSORED AND COVERED UP. AS A RESULT, THE DOJ IS HARASSING PEACEFUL PATRIOTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IMAGINE THIS, THAT YOU GO BACK HOME ONCE WE CONQUER THE HILL, DONALD TRUMP IS TURNED TO BEING PRESIDENT. >> WERE STORMING THE CAPITOL! ITS A REVOLUTION! >> THEN THERES CONGRESS RALPH NORMAN, WHO SAYS WHAT HAPPENED WAS WRONG, BUT THEN LIES ABOUT IT BEING A MOB OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS. WE CAN REFRESH YOUR MEMORY. >> 2:07, A MOB OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS BREACHED THE STEPS. I DONT KNOW WHO DID A POLL THAT ITS TRUMP SUPPORTERS. >> WE WANT TRUMP! WE WANT TRUMP! >> THEY WANTED TRUMP. THEY SAID SO. CONGRESSMAN GAETZ TRYING THE SAME PROILOY. >> SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO BREACHED THE CAPITOL TODAY WERE NOT TRUMP SUPPORTERS, AND IN FACT WERE MEMBERS OF ANTIFA. >> WHOSE HOUSE? >> IF YOU DO NOT STAND DOWN, THERES A [ BLEEP ] MILLION OF US OUT THERE, AND WE ARE LISTENING TO TRUMP, YOUR BOSS. >> THEY WERENT MASQUERADEING, THEY WERE THE REAL MAGA DEAL. NOW WE HAVE EVEN MORE EVIDENCE THAT THEY WERE MAGA FROM THE COURT FILINGS. AND NUMBER FIVE, MINIMIZING THIS, SAYING SOMETHING HAPPENED, BUT IT WASNT A PRESIDENTIALLY ORGANIZED PLOT BY MISFITS. >> SO WAS JANUARY 6th IN THE DIRECTION OF A MOB OF MISFITS -- [ SCREAMING ] >> THE FEDS VIEW THAT AS WAY MORE THAN MISFITS. AND OUR FINALISTS, AND IT DOES GET WORSE. DURING THIS ACTUAL ATTACK, THERE WERE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO TRIED TO HELP POLICE BARRICADE THE DOORS TO THE HOUSE. ON YOUR CAREENSCREEN, YOU SEE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN ANDREW CLYDE GOING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH ARMED OFFICERS. HE WAS HAILED BY SOME AT THE TIME. BUT TONIGHT, HOW DOES IT LOOK WHEN YOU SEE THAT SAME PERSON WHO FACED THAT DANGER, LIKENING IT TO AN ORDERLY TOURIST VISIT. WHAT RUNS THROUGH HIS HEAD GIVEN WHAT HE LIVED THROUGH, WHAT HE DID THAT DAY, WHAT HES SAYING NOW AS HE SPEWS THIS GARBAGE. >> THERE WAS NO INSURRECTION AND TO CALL IT AN INSURRECTION IN MY OPINION IS A BOLD-FACED LIE. IF YOU DIDNT KNOW THE TV FOOTAGE WAS A VIDEO FROM JANUARY
6th, YOU WOULD THINK ITS A 6th, YOU WOULD THINK ITS A NORMAL TOURIST VISIT. >> TOURISTS DONT TAKE THE CAPITOL BY FIRST. AND CONGRESSMAN GOHMERT, LYING ABOUT THE FACT THAT MANY OF THESE TRESPASSERS WERE ARMED.
>> THERES NO EVIDENCE AS HAS >> THERES NO EVIDENCE AS HAS BEEN SAID ON JANUARY 7th, THAT THIS WAS AN ARMED INSURRECTION. ARMED MEANING WITH FIREARMS. THERE WERE NO FIREARMS. >> HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE WEAPONS THAT WERE CONFISCATED OR
BEING SEEN USED. BEING SEEN USED. A BASEBALL BAT, FIRE EXTINGUISH EXTINGUISHER, A WOODEN CLUB, A SPEAR, A TASER. >> AND THE LIE THAT MANY TOP REPUBLICANS KNOW THIS WAS TERRIBLE, THATS WHY THEY HAVE TO LIE ABOUT IT. SO CONGRESSMAN RON JOHNSON CLAIMS THE PEOPLE ON TEAM TRUMP WHO ATTACKED POLICE ACTUALLY RESPECT POLICE. >> I KNEW THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THIS COUNTRY, THAT TRULY RESPECT LAW ENFORCEMENT. WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO BREAK A LAW. >> HANG MIKE PENCE! HANG MIKE PENCE! >> COMING IN AT NUMBER ONE IS THE PERSON WHO SUMMONED THE ORIGINAL CROWD TO WASHINGTON AND FED THEM LIES ABOUT HIS FAILED CAMPAIGN. >> WERE GOING TO HAVE FIGHT MUCH HARDER. YOULL NEVER TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY WITH WEAKNESS. YOU HAVE TO SHOW STRENGTH, AND YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG. FRANKLY, WE DID WIN THIS ELECTION. WE LOVE YOU, YOURE VERY SPECIAL. >> THOSE SPECIAL PEOPLE TOOK HIM LITERALLY, THEY STILL DO. AND WHILE TRUMPISM DOES HAVE LESS POWER NOW, THIS ATTACK WAS BY A SLICE OF THE ELECTORAL MINORITY AGAINST THE ELECTORAL MAJORITY. AND WORKING TO GROW AN ALLIANCE OF LIARS WHO KNOW BETTER, WITH PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT. THERES NOTHING NOVEL OR NEW ABOUT THIS TYPE OF THREAT WITHIN THIS SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT. TO RETURN TO SOME OTHER BARS FROM GEORGE ORWELL, HE ALSO WROTE THAT TO EVEN SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ONES NOSE NEEDS A CONSTANT STRUGGLE. AND HE HAD TIPS, HE RECOMMENDED KEEPING A WRITTEN RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTSEVENTS, AND COUN CLARITY AND COURAGE IN THE FACE OF FASCISTS. AND OUR LAST WORD, WE HAVE ONE MORE IDEA FOR YOU TONIGHT, AS WE DEAL WITH THIS AS A NATION. BECAUSE ITS NOT GOING AWAY YET. IN SUMMATION OF THIS FACT CHECK, LETS JUST HEAR A LITTLE BIT FROM THE POLICE WHO WERE SO BRUTALLY ATTACKED AND THEIR FAMILIES. LETS HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TO LIVE THROUGH THE REALITY, NO@THE NOT THE LIES, BUT THE REALITY OF THE RESULTS OF THE VIOLENT INSURRECTION, WHO ARE FURTHER DISRESPECTED IN PUBLIC BY THE LIES YOU SAW TONIGHT FROM SOME OF THESE ELECTED REPUBLICANS. THIS IS ALSO THE EVIDENCE. >> IT WAS VERY SCARY. BECAUSE I KNEW -- I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY LIFE RIGHT THERE. >> BRIAN HAD A WORK ETHIC SECOND TO NONE. HE WAS JUST THERE FOR OUR COUNTRY. >> ITS BEEN EXCRUCIATING. >> JUST, WE WANT, YOU KNOW, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO ENSURE THAT IT DOESNT HAPPEN AGAIN. >> PRIORITY, HELP, HELP. SOMEBODY IS TRAPPED. WE NEED HELP. SHOTS FIRED. >> THIS IS WHY IM HERE TODAY. USUALLY I STAY IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT I COULDNT STAY
