of the cacophony, all of the charges against trump, the political volatility, they re scrambling to keep up and to plan for how to address these very unexpected scenarios, but the problem is it s the lone wolf you worry about the most and the one you don t see coming. just think about when donald trump started objecting to the search in mar-a-lago, and he started blasting the fbi as the fascist bureau of investigation. it s no coincidence that within days a guy shows up at the field office in ohio with an ar-15 and a nail gun. we re lucky that people besides the perpetrator didn t die. it s those exhortations to violence from him and his movement we have to be concerned about. i think we re going to see more and more of that as it becomes clearer that jack smith has damning evidence we don t know about against donald trump. we just saw reporting today about how they re actually looking into my former department and how dhs briefed donald trump on election security, and he was aware. i
make these exhortations publicly. but at the end of the day, you re not giving any consideration that there is some person out there who is going to take very seriously your call to arms. your call to violence. you don t think you are making that call, but that is how they are hearing it. that is one. two, to the congressman s very important point, for me, the leadership has to rise within both parties to make sure that we put this rhetoric down. unfortunately, republicans are not doing that. you have the president of the united states, still out here perpetuating lies about january 6th. still, fomenting animosities towards the agencies of the federal government. the agents of the federal government. other institutions, because he s agreed. that is then translated for his supporters into taking actions like this. i think we have a ways to go, charles, on this front, because not everybody is taking it seriously.
them was insurrection, realtime. and it was one of those things that you couldn t put your head around when you were watching it, but now with the trials and with the narratives out of january 6th, you really begin to see the pattern and that one thread, that one single thread that ties it all together has been trump, has been his rhetoric. as been his exhortations. let s go to the hill, you know. his condemnation of mike pence that fed this fever to hang him. and even now in the midst of all of that, you still have these story lines playing out with characters like pence, who you know, finally get in front of committee to tell the story. we don t know fully or all of what that was just yet. but it just gives you a sense of the weight of that moment.
streak, we met not blinky or three finger, the guy s name was al, we met him at a doughnut shot in brooklyn. he said is that your boy, give your kid a glass and a doughnut, and then he slid a paper bag out to the counter and we went out to the car, and my dad counted out $14,000 in $100 bills in 1966. good score. we bought our house for $19,000 on the gi bill, so that was a lot of money. so this story, the five who were suspended, tip of the iceberg? well, potentially because not just the nfl, all leagues are in the same boat. once the supreme court decision came down in 2018, the pot of gold was just too big to resist, so the leagues are in on it, baseball, basketball, the nhl, also colleges, which is even more sketchy because while you can t gamble until you re 21, there are college students surrounding by these exhortations to gamble, and all these promos make it seem as if,
to be together, working together and focusing on the next 25 years. so for me, the message is loud and clear. i can speak now to mark devenport, the bbc s former northern ireland political editor. in terms of what we heard from jeffrey donaldson in particular, your analysis of what he has said and what we have seen through the course of today already. goad and what we have seen through the course of today already. and what we have seen through the course of today already. good to see ou, es, course of today already. good to see you. yes. jeffrey course of today already. good to see you, yes, jeffrey donaldson - course of today already. good to see you, yes, jeffrey donaldson makingl you, yes, jeffrey donaldson making it pretty clear that the dup isn t going to be budged by a visit from the president or indeed any kind of exhortations from prime minister rishi sunak, instead it is going to take its own time. it is sceptical about the windsor framework, which is the best deal that is
