FAKE NEWS: BBC caught splicing Trump’s Jan. 6 speech to make him sound violent



The BBC has been exposed for editing President Donald Trump’s January 6, 2021, speech — deceiving viewers into thinking that the president was cheering on violence.

The network played a clip of Trump that appeared to be him inciting an insurrection, saying, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.”

However, Trump didn’t say that at all.

According to a report from GBN News, the “BBC spliced together two clips that took place 54 minutes apart.”


Rather, Trump said, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women,” before saying the second part of what the BBC played.

Tim Davie, director, and Deborah Turness, the chief executive in the news division, have now resigned following the revelation.

“Trump was on to something,” BlazeTV contributor Jeff Fisher tells BlazeTV host Pat Gray on “Pat Gray Unleashed,” referring to Trump calling the BBC “fake news” during a press conference.

“How about that?” Gray asks.

Don Lemon calls for 'black people, brown people' to take up arms against ICE



Fresh off being schooled by Chicago residents on how illegal border crossings are indeed criminal, ex-CNN talking head Don Lemon suggested that non-whites in America should take up arms against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

At the outset of his recent appearance on Wajahat Ali's podcast "The Left Hook," Lemon noted, "I'm tired of like all the niceties because that doesn't work in this administration. That doesn't work in this era. You got to dispense with the niceties and ... 'let's just be civil.'"

After expressing the extremist sentiment a recent poll indicated is common to a plurality of liberals, Lemon told Ali, "I think that these are the times that the Second Amendment was written for."

'Words have consequences, and this type of rhetoric is going to get one of our officers killed.'

Ensuring that there could be no confusion as to his meaning, Lemon characterized the Trump administration as "tyrannical," then noted that the Second Amendment's raison d'être is to ensure Americans can fight a tyrannical government.

Blaze News has reached out to Lemon for clarification on whether he meant to incite rebellion against the U.S. government.

Lemon, who previously criticized Republicans for defending the Second Amendment, further suggested that those individuals who are being targeted by ICE "need to really figure out what the Second Amendment is really about and go out, and do it legally, and purchase some things because you never know when someone's going to come to your house and knock on the door and try to take you away."

Later in the podcast, Lemon once again suggested that individuals should be armed and ready in case federal immigration officials come to their residences.

"If you believe in the Second Amendment, if you believe in the Constitution — black people, brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian-American or a Mexican-American or whoever you are — go out in your place where you live and get a gun legally," said Lemon. "Get a license to carry legally, because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment was written for?"

When asked about the apparently inciting nature of Lemon's remarks, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Blaze News, "Don Lemon's comments calling for people to 'arm up' with guns to use against ICE law enforcement officers are unhinged."

"Calling for violence against law enforcement is un-American — officers are already facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them including terrorist attacks, cars being used as weapons, rocks thrown at them, and shot at," continued McLaughlin. "Words have consequences, and this type of rhetoric is going to get one of our officers killed."

Lemon made his recommendation just weeks after a leftist sniper opened fire on the ICE field office in Dallas. While the shooter, Joshua Jahn, had been targeting law enforcement officers, he ultimately hit three detainees — two of whom ultimately perished — then killed himself. The words "ANTI-ICE" were reportedly found engraved on ammunition recovered at the scene of the shooting.

Ali defended Lemon's remarks in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"I only speak for myself, but Don Lemon has a right to express his views in the United States of America thanks to the First Amendment, which is allegedly championed by the Trump administration," said Ali. "I'd assume Republicans would agree with him that Americans have the right to legally bear arms thanks to the Second Amendment. Unless, of course, they only believe that right exists for white Trump supporters? If so, they should admit that publicly."

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace holds fast to J6 'insurrection' smear — but won't tolerate term's application to LA riots



MSNBC talking head Nicolle Wallace performed, with the aid of a former Jan. 6 committee member, yet another mental gymnastics routine on Monday, framing as ludicrous the suggestion that the targeted violence against federal agents in Los Angeles over the weekend amounted to an insurrection while insisting that the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington, D.C., still qualified.

By way of their acrobatics, Wallace and former Virginia Rep. Denver Riggleman accomplished little more than reveal "insurrection" to be a term used by liberals to differentiate riots on the left from riots on the right.

"Insurrection" is not explicitly defined by federal law. It is, however, prohibited and generally understood to be an organized and violent act of revolt against an established government or civil authority. Although a riot is similarly characterized by violence, it alternatively tends to be more spontaneous and localized.

Elements of the Washington establishment and the liberal media spent years hyperventilating about how the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — not the deadly 2020 Black Lives Matter riots that resulted in billions of dollars in damage, thousands of businesses ruined, and 2,037 police officers assaulted or injured — was somehow an insurrection.

This suggestion was used to great political effect.

For instance, its acceptance enabled the Democrat-appointed justices on Colorado's Supreme Court to rule in 2023 that Coloradans couldn't vote for then-candidate Donald Trump for president — a decision later echoed by a Democratic judge in Illinois but ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court.

Some of the same personalities who liberally threw around "insurrection" in recent years, when doing so meant maligning peaceful Trump supporters and the unarmed boneheads who stole into the U.S. Capitol in 2021, are now coming out of the woodwork to insist that the term's use to describe the targeted leftist revolt against governmental forces in California is inaccurate.

As always, MSNBC has been one of their go-to platforms, if not their base of operations.

Hosts, contributors, and staff at MSNBC have used the term "insurrection" without reservation when speaking of Jan. 6. MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance dubbed it a "mass insurrection." Former MSNBC talking head Joy Reid routinely referred to the rioters and protesters as "insurrectionists." The team over at "The Rachel Maddow Show" also adopted the term with that specific target.

Wallace continued using it in reference to Jan. 6 on her show Monday but bristled at the mention of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller referring to the L.A. riots as an insurrection and of both Trump and Vice President JD Vance calling some of the rioters who violently attacked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents "insurrectionists."

Wallace said that "insurrection" is an important word, not only because of its relevance regarding the invocation of the Insurrection Act but because "anyone older than 4 years old remembers an actual insurrection and the way Trump spent his first day in office the second time, pardoning all the rioters involved in January 6."

'It's about the target and purpose of it.'

Riggleman warned Wallace that the Trump administration is "trying to take the language of January 6."

A similar game was being played over at CNN, where senior reporter Aaron Blake accused Trump of using a "broad definition of 'insurrection.'"

Whereas Wallace focused on reminding her viewers that the L.A. riots didn't satisfy her criteria for insurrection, Blake identified other uses of the term that he regards as problematic, such as Stephen Miller characterizing an Obama judge's recent decision to undermine the executive branch and temporarily prevent the Trump administration from revoking status for over 500,000 illegal aliens as a "legal insurrection against democracy and the American people"; and Miller's suggestion that the radicals who marched on the Supreme Court and illegally mounted a pressure campaign at conservative justices' homes around the time of the high court's Dobbs decision were engaged in "an open insurrection."

"An insurrection isn't about the level of violence," wrote Blake. "It's about the target and purpose of it."

So long as the liberal establishment agrees with radicals' target and purpose, it appears it will refrain from calling organized revolts against governmental targets for a political purpose "insurrections."

After Trump's decisive action, protests cooling in LA



As the riots in Los Angeles lessened in intensity at the start of the week, President Trump has begun to change his tone toward the protests that shook the city streets over the weekend. With the worst lawlessness hopefully over, the rhetoric has likewise cooled down.

On Saturday and Sunday, Trump and other senior White House officials called the protesters “insurrectionists.” Vice President JD Vance called out the rioters on Saturday: “Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America's political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil.”

Fortunately, President Trump’s decisive action in sending the National Guard and Marines to reinforce the local police largely quelled the violence in Los Angeles. It remains to be seen what Mayor Karen Bass, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and other Democrat leaders will do in response to the Trump administration sending federalized troops against their wishes, although there is some indication that Trump is willing to find a diplomatic solution in the wake of the violence.

During what appears to be the height of violence over the weekend, it was uncertain how far the riots would escalate. Republican leaders were pre-emptively considering their options, should the violence get worse.

Among these options was invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807, which gives the president the ability to “call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed.” The protesters’ interference with ICE operations, which began on Friday, was one of the main justifications for sending reinforcements, though this particular act was not invoked.

Former Representative Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) speculated that the repetition of the word “insurrection” by Republican leadership was a primer to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, if needed.

Some, including a New York Times article, noted that Trump would be on "firm legal footing" if he invoked the act, largely because courts would be "unwilling" to rule on what exactly constitutes an insurrection or rebellion. This legal ambiguity gives him the power to act at his own "discretion."

Due to the effective response of the National Guard and Marines, this option was no longer necessary. With the worst of the chaos potentially in the rearview mirror, Trump partially walked back his rhetoric from earlier in the weekend.

“I wouldn’t call it quite an insurrection, but it could have led to an insurrection,” Trump said on Monday. “That was a lot of harm that was going on last night.”

On Monday morning, Trump took full credit for the quelling of the violence in L.A.: "If I didn’t 'SEND IN THE TROOPS' to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now." He also bashed "incompetent" Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom for their "disastrous" and "bungled" response.
