i think in his speech today, president trump played on a lot of the fears because when we think about the stand off that happened 30 years ago, it was interpreted by many on the extreme right as government overreach and the government was interfering in people s lives. and we have to remember the oklahoma city bomb ring that happened after was done in that name. this has continued to be a rallying cry for anti government extremists and if you look at what president trump said tonight, things like, if we don t win in 2024, we won t have a country, it will be over, world war ill, take our country back. these are things that he knows are whistles to this crowd and he is trying to rile them up which is unfortunate because we saw onjanuary 6th, that that riling this base up caused
so what this means is that by giving donald trump access to the largest social media platform in the world, he has the most access that he s had since before january 6th, for calls to action, and this isjust simply a risky move with someone who has never apologised forjanuary 6th, and onjanuary 6th itself he said that people who stormed the capitol, he loved them. do you think that donald trump will actually use it, meta, facebook and instagram, because the same thing happened on twitter, didn t it, but he s yet to use that platform? that s right, but this is not about what is going to happen tomorrow. i know the news media wants everything to happen tomorrow, but what we re doing is we re giving him options and he is going to go
and instagram. near platforms like facebook and instagram. that was peter bowes. earlier, i spoke to robert pape, who is professor of political science at the university of chicago. he has been studying the american insurrectionist movement, and he testified at the january 6th hearing. i asked him if he was concerned about meta s decision. yes. this is risky and it is notjust the past, it is the present. we conduct national surveys of violent sentiment in the united states. as of today, there are approximately 15 million american adults who have support violent support to either restore donald trump to the presidency or against a prosecution for trump in the future. 40% of those 15 million get their main political news from mainstream social media facebook, instagram etc. so what this means is that by giving donald trump access to the largest social media platform in the world, he has the most access that he s had since before january 6th, for calls to action, and this is just s
main political news from mainstream social media, facebook, instagram etc. so what this means is that by giving donald trump axis to the largest social media platform in the world, access, he has the most axis calls to action and this is simply a risky move with someone who has never apologised forjanuary 6th and on january 6th apologised forjanuary 6th and onjanuary 6th its obvious that he love the people who stormed the capitol. d0 he love the people who stormed the capitol- the capitol. do you think donald trump the capitol. do you think donald trump will - the capitol. do you think donald trump will use i the capitol. do you think donald trump will use it| the capitol. do you think - donald trump will use it meta because the same thing happened on twitter but he s yet to use that platform? on twitter but he s yet to use that platform? that s right but this is not that platform? that s right but this is not about that platform? that s right but this is not about what - th
on the indictment and things that didn t occur yet. i don t know if they will occur. if they occur, of course, extradition will be something that might be tried. i m not sure at this point how we can get that. but i think this is. but i want to comment something else on what you said. he may say now that he lamented, but he somehow encouraged the calls for coup d etat and for military intervention at many other times, and including recently. i mean, in the beginning, his.his criticism was very mild. very mild. then, maybe already, because of the action of the supreme courtjustice, he s getting a little more emphatic on that. but i don t know. let the justice do the. run its course. at the very beginning of this interview, you you compared the situation with what happened in the united states onjanuary 6th, 2021,
