The Storm is Here, Capitol Stand Down, Purging the Deplorables by Media Roots Radio published on 2021-01-15T23:19:13Z Abby and Robbie Martin talk about the surreal events of January 6th: how "Stop the Steal" was the perfect culmination of the QAnon cult with the siege of the Capitol building symbolizing the literal storm, Trump's unhinged speech and coded threats toward Pence, the clear stand down of law enforcement implicating multiple levels of government, tech monopolies purging Trump from social media and the point of no return for our consensus reality.

Could you compare the "capitol takeover" to the tactics the USA used in South America in the 1980's or whenever via CIA or any of the other 100's or 1000's of secret agencies the US used and still uses. 2021-06-13T06:39:16Z Comment by Chadplural Wow! Completely amazing reporting. I guess I got my 5 bucks worth. I liked both of you by yourselves but the two of you together but the two of you together are really a force. I just wish you had a lot more subscribers. 2021-06-13T06:27:41Z Comment by Ganymede station Great critique here. I'm totally in agreement with you. 2021-01-18T22:08:36Z Comment by OpenMindOne I love you show and hearing your opinions. I am not a Trump supporter, nor a Democrat, but a Libertarian. I think you have to consider that some people went to DC not to support Trump, but to support fair elections. These people would not oppose Biden if they believed his honestly won the vote in the disputed states. They may believe, like me, that if the real voters actually elected Trump, he should have a 2nd term. Although many or most of Trumps policies are horrible, he should not be removed from office "by any means possible". How can you deny meddling with votes unless you refuse to consider any evidence? Aren't you just repeating establishment MSM talking points? Why don't you analyze Giuliani's presentation about the video of John Sullivan? Why don't you consider this was a psyop to prevent evidence of election fraud from being presented in Congress and to the people? Love your show!. 2021-01-17T23:07:17Z Comment by Keith Foster 4 exactly what I was going to question. I've seen so many other protest get HAMMERED by the police and yet this one was allowed to storm the Capitol? I was even at occupy DC and there was plenty of police and barriers put in place. 2021-01-17T18:39:31Z Comment by andy Hey I listened right to the end! 2021-01-17T17:58:05Z Comment by sam09jas They Did Trump DIRTY 2021-01-17T14:33:08Z Comment by Martin Rudling Here you are coming to some very crucial points. They want you all to be potentially delegitimized. Abby, Ryan Dawson, Douglas Valentine and Corbettreport, looking crazy like Qanon would be the ultimate bingo. 2021-01-17T12:49:46Z Comment by Martin Rudling It´s a good conversation, but you´re making it easy for yourselves by dismissing the main concern. The voter-fraud allegation. I have (from Sweden) seen so much evidence of voter-fraud that it seems like you´re putting yourself on a strange pedistal by pretending you know there is no reason for those concerns. And if they are right: This is what is going on, and you´re totally missing what most of the protesters are realizing. By simply saying, it´s "ludicrous" that the election was stolen. A recount is not an audit, and the refusal to investigate is not looking good. 2021-01-17T12:04:22Z Comment by Oliver Brooke Koslik https://youtu.be/5a_n_7XccWo?t=423 2021-01-17T05:24:29Z Comment by Daniel Deely you should read "Pre-suasion" by Robert Cialdini. probably Trump's favorite book 2021-01-17T01:52:15Z Comment by William Dobbins Sorry if this comment appears twice. It did not post when I tried. I recently read interviews with 3 police officers that showed up after they heard the capitol was under attack, they were not scheduled to be there. All three sustained injuries, one was pretty well beat to a pulp. Obviously these 3 were not in on it, but when you see video evidence of police stepping aside, and the fact that so many police were absent that day...there is def. something going on. 2021-01-17T01:18:29Z Comment by Sheila Please dont overlook how much Religion has played into this, most of Trumps supporters overlooked Trumps foibles because he was serving religious political wants. My take is that the hard core religious fanatics were behind this, the Christo-Fascist 2021-01-17T01:11:11Z Comment by Jon Hei-dish Sure he can get in trouble for his language. If I said Robbie "you might want to start agreeing with me because people that don't agree with me end up sleeping with the fish's in a lot of cases. " 2021-01-17T01:00:24Z Comment by Media Roots Radio @kyle-r-johnson: I don't even understand what you are insinuating, that she didn't die? 2021-01-17T00:22:42Z Comment by smyrnx The only thing is that if the Senate impeaches Trump with a simple majority (50 votes), he will be barred from running for office again. Totally agree re: 25th amendment and getting 2/3, these people are spineless 2021-01-16T21:28:04Z Comment by Meredith White I view most of them like the koolaid drinkers of the Jonestown cult. They dont need to be arrested, they need to be deprogrammed. There is a book called The Cult of Trump by Steven Hasan that is worth the read. 2021-01-16T21:10:03Z Comment by Meredith White I think there needs to be some nuance with legal charges. If all someone did was run with the crowd, that is one thing. But if they were armed or there is evidence they knew ahead of time, that is very different. 2021-01-16T21:04:21Z Comment by pimpbot3000 Amazing episode. 2021-01-16T20:23:11Z Comment by President Ford EXCELLENT!!! 2021-01-16T08:09:00Z Comment by Trisha A R Well said 2021-01-16T06:42:24Z Comment by Trisha A R Yes it does show the level of cult following 2021-01-16T06:41:19Z Comment by Trisha A R Yes I agree. I'm amazed hat they didn't burn it down 2021-01-16T06:40:22Z Comment by Trisha A R It's amazing he has not been arrested because trump is drunk with power and unhinged 2021-01-16T06:39:01Z Comment by Trisha A R Chamsley sounded like he was totally a follower of a cult 2021-01-16T06:34:00Z Comment by Trisha A R Is Chamsley mentally ill? I saw him talking later. He didn't sound all there 2021-01-16T06:33:06Z Comment by Trisha A R Wow she voted for Obama 2021-01-16T06:32:13Z
