january 6th, gas prices have doubled, drug o.d.es have reached their highest point ever come of the u.s. economy is careening toward the devastatind scariest and least noteworthy of all, this country has never in its history been closer to a nuclear war. if the other networks cannot be bothered to cover any of that tonight, instead they ve interrupted their regularly scheduled programming to bring you yet another extended prime time harangue from nancy pelosi and liz cheney about donald trump and qanon. the whole thing is insulting. in fact, it s deranged and we are not playing along. this is the only hour on an american news channel that will not be carrying their propaganda live. they are lying and we are not going to help them do it. what we will do instead is try to tell you the truth. we ve attempted to do that since the day this happened. we hated seeing vandalism at the u.s. capitol year and a half ago and we said so at the time, but we did not think it was an insurrec
rahab s saga and why did the cops open the doors for the protesters et cetera. the point is not to get to the truth commits to hide the truth and create a pretext for the democratic party to declare war against millions of americans who oppose their agenda. liz cheney is helping them. he or she is just moments ago screeching about disinformation. president trump ignored the rulings of our nation s court. he ignored his own campaign leadership, his white house staff, many republican state officials, he ignored the department of justice and the department of homeland security. president trump invested millions of dollars of campaign funds purposely spreading false information, running ads were false, and convincing millions of americans that the election was corrupt, and that he was the true president. as you will see, this misinformation campaign provoked
this nation who doesn t feel on a gut level that we could face some real problems real soon. but we re still talking about january 6th. tulsi gabbard is a former congressman of hawaii, ran for president in the last cycle. she joins us with her assessment. inc. you so much for coming on. given everything the country faces right now, both domestically and abroad, why are the news networks colluding with a political party to tell us this is the most important thing? because whether you re talking about the mainstream media or you re talking about liz cheney, adam kinzinger or congress, frankly, they don t care about the real threats that they face domestically to our freedom and our democracy. instead, they re focusing on this. they don t want to deal with the real issues that americans are struggling with every day across the country, increasing inflation, rising gas prices, increasing crime, open borders,
insurrection. not a single person in the crowd that day was found to be carrying a firearm. some insurrection. the only person who wound up shot to death was a protester. she was a 36-year-old military veteran called ashley babbitt. babbitt was just over 5 feet tall, she was unarmed. she posed no conceivable threat to anyone. by capitol hill police shot her in the neck and never explained why that was justified. those of the facts of january 6th. but since the very first hours they have been distorted beyond recognition relentlessly. culminating with last night. last night, cbs nightly news told it told interviewers that insurrection is at the capital on january 6th caused the death of five police officers. that is a pure live. there is nothing true about it and they know that perfectly well. he was reporter bob costa, who should be deeply ashamed, to say something this dishonest. thursdays prime time hearing will take americans back to
