That we not whitewash what spurred and perpetuated this big lie ultimately resulting in this insurrection, and that is white supremacy. when you talk about the -- perhaps the heightened vulnerability that i might have had having been in the sight line of the occupant of the white house, this pied piper of hate, this insurrectionist in chief as it were, you know, that has everything to do with a white supremacist violent mob backlash to historic record voter turnout that was driven by record numb...

Supremacist backlash, and its important that we not have selective amnesia about that, and it is important that we sit with the trauma and the terror of that day and to reference what my colleague said, recognize white supremacy is a clear and present threat to the lives of every person who calls this country home and to our democracy, and there must be accountability. that is why we need full and thorough investigations. anyone who was complicit or aided and abetted in this, including members o...

Selling a tell-all book and attempting to rebrand to something of a neever trumper. so, now we are left in this weird kind of groundhog day reality. after all these one time trump allies realized exactly how dangerous he was in the moment and the immediate aftermath when they called out this horrifying (inaudible) of duty after the issued statements saying think about the children. all of this exemplified his actions leading in the january six. the entire republican party is basically developed,...

The 50s. and in 1812 -- [laughter] >> greg: im glad you brought that up. never forget, never forget. but the thing that they are denying and this is the thing because it requires to go through this exercise of condemning it. we are not like the mostly peaceful riots we said those are freaking riots in january 6th, it sucked. that was a riot. no one is denying that but cnn pretends, they pretend that they didnt deny the real violence and they are the only ones talking about this. and so in order ...

Collectively enamored of the governor back in the early days of covid when he was giving press conferences every day. they like not just what he was saying, but how he was saying and they decided to cover that to the exclusion of all else and what ended up being sacrificed which fell by the wayside. it was his policies he was implemented at the time which is sort of what enabled the media to have this collective amnesia stay where they failed to realize what he was implementing in nursing homes ...

In your views now about how we need to use very specific language about, for example, the british empire. you call it "a wilful, unapologetic exercise in white racial supremacy. britain was dehumanising black people on a super—industrial scale." but i also say empire didnt start out as that. it didnt start out as a wilfully racist thing. it happened in the 19th century when britain suddenly found itself ruling a quarter of the planet and noticed that they were white and almost all the people t...

But that was pretty much in the 19th century. it wasnt for the whole history. right. but, you know, there are a lot of people watching this around britain who will be finding that language hard to stomach. yeah, i think theres an amnesia about that. i think because we beat the evil, racist germans in world war ii and we abolished slavery, theres an idea that we are beyond racism in this country. but i think we have institutional racism in this country because our society was built on the racist ...
