Victor Davis Hanson Exposes Why the January 6 Narrative Was a Complete Fabrication From the Start

[00:00] I want to return to the January 6th

[00:02] [music] demonstration that turned into a

[00:04] riot. Everything that we've been told by

[00:06] that narrative from the left seems

[00:08] [music] inaccurate. We were told that it

[00:10] was a pre-planned armed takeover, a

[00:13] coup, but there was always something

[00:15] wrong about the leftwing narrative of

[00:17] January 6. [music] Now we're hearing

[00:18] more weird things.

[00:25] [music]

[00:30] Hello, this is Victor Davis Hansen for

[00:33] the Daily Signal. I want to return to

[00:35] the January 6th demonstration

[00:38] that turned into a riot. Everything that

[00:41] we've been told by that narrative from

[00:43] the left seems inaccurate. They told us

[00:45] it was an organized insurrection. They

[00:47] use the word insurrection, remember, in

[00:50] the second impeachment

[00:52] uh indictment of Donald Trump. And the

[00:55] trial, remember, was held after he left

[00:57] office. and he was acquitted by the

[00:59] Senate, but the word was insurrection.

[01:02] And we know that Jack Smith wanted to

[01:04] use that term insurrection, but he felt

[01:06] that since no one had been charged with

[01:08] insurrection 100 years, he dare not do

[01:11] it. But we were told that it was a

[01:13] pre-planned armed takeover, a coup, but

[01:17] there was always something wrong about

[01:20] the the left-wing narrative of January 6

[01:22] because we knew there was a massive

[01:23] demonstration.

[01:25] We knew it turned violent outside and we

[01:29] knew that people were sort of invited in

[01:31] maybe because they the guards inside the

[01:33] rotunda and the capital had no other

[01:35] alternative. But everything after that

[01:38] was too clear-cut. The Democrats had the

[01:41] January 6 committee and we know that

[01:43] some of the tapes and testimonies were

[01:45] not uh kept safely. They're not

[01:49] accessible now. Some of the witnesses

[01:52] were kind of berated. Um, then we also

[01:56] learned that uh, Speaker McCarthy's

[01:59] nominations were not accepted for the

[02:01] first time in House history. And the

[02:03] only way you could get on the committee

[02:05] if you were Republican were if you

[02:08] either had no political future like Adam

[02:11] Kisser or you were doomed to defeat in

[02:15] your next election like Liz Cheney. So,

[02:17] there was something weird about. Now,

[02:19] we're hearing more weird things. They

[02:21] just arrested the so-called pipe bomber.

[02:23] And this was very strange because we

[02:25] were told by the Biden DOJ, they didn't

[02:27] know who he was. They there was no

[02:29] information, but he was probably a, you

[02:32] know, a participant in the right-wing

[02:35] uh terrorist activities that day. So, it

[02:38] was on to their political advantage

[02:40] apparently not to really pursue the

[02:42] investigation. a new administration

[02:44] comes in and they just start tracing the

[02:47] cell phone imprint of various people and

[02:50] they look at their sales records where

[02:52] they bought this particular item in the

[02:55] pipe bomb and they came up with a Brian

[02:58] Cole Jr. He's a young African-American

[03:01] man u from a middle class family. He

[03:06] says he's an anarchist. Initial reports

[03:09] seem to suggest he was on the left and

[03:12] had empathies with Black Lives Matter

[03:14] and Antifa, but the evidence is so

[03:18] fragmentaryary, we're not sure. He had

[03:19] four hours of testimony in which he

[03:21] purportedly today confessed

[03:24] uh and now he says he thought Trump was

[03:26] robbed of the election. So, we don't

[03:28] know exactly what his empathies were,

[03:31] but it was apparently incumbent upon the

[03:33] Biden administration not to investigate

[03:35] who this pipe balmer was and to leave it

[03:37] out there as if he was a part of a

[03:40] violent resistance. And that is

[03:42] consistent with the misinformation that

[03:45] we had and the fake news about the

[03:47] entire day. Remember Camela Harris when

[03:50] running for president she said January 6

[03:55] is the same thing at rest with it's

[03:57] parallel to it's comparable to Pearl

[03:59] Harbor 2400 dead or 9/11 3,000 people

[04:04] dead and of course how many people died

[04:09] well we know five people died but how

[04:13] many people died violently that's the

[04:15] key the key thing to remember and that

[04:17] the d violent deaths were one,

[04:21] maybe two, a Trump protester that was

[04:24] caught in the scramble and the pressure

[04:26] between the crowd and the police, but

[04:28] really one, Ashley Babbot, a 14-year

[04:31] veteran who was unarmed and was

[04:33] committing a misdemeanor of entering a

[04:35] broken window. [snorts] She was shot by

[04:38] Officer Bird lethally. Then all of a

[04:41] sudden, we never really knew who who

[04:44] Officer Bird was. We were told it was a

[04:46] justified shooting. We never learned

[04:48] that he had a checkered record, that he

[04:49] was, you know, clumsy, lazy with his

[04:53] gun, that he was u had left it and

[04:56] people had found it in a a capital

[04:58] restroom. So they wanted to suppress the

[05:00] information and suggest that she was an

[05:02] insurgent.

[05:03] That was a complete misinformation. Then

[05:05] we were told there wasn't really any FBI

[05:09] informants and Christopher Ray said he

[05:12] didn't know. and only with a change of

[05:14] administrations that FBI records come

[05:17] out that there was probably somewhere

[05:19] between 250 and 275

[05:23] actual FBI agents or informants in the

[05:27] crowd. And remember that Matthew

[05:29] Rosenberg, the the Pulitzer Prize

[05:31] reporter for the New York Times, had

[05:33] told us at the time in an ambush

[05:36] interview by Project Veritoss

[05:40] when he nonchalantly was talking to

[05:42] someone he didn't know was associated

[05:45] with Operation Veraritoss. He said there

[05:48] was a ton of informants there and he

[05:50] knew them. And then of course Donald

[05:53] Trump said assemble peacefully and

[05:55] patriotically to the capital. Not like

[05:58] Camela Harris who

[06:01] in the year before 2020 had told people

[06:04] that the the George Floyd riot should

[06:06] not stop. They will not stop. She called

[06:10] them demonstrations but they were riots

[06:12] and she said nor should they stop.

[06:14] They're going to go under the election.

[06:16] Add it all up and the latest uh

[06:18] revelations that there is a pipe bomber

[06:21] and he

[06:24] was a uh angry at the Democrats cuz he

[06:27] left something at the Democratic party,

[06:28] a Republican. We don't know. We don't

[06:30] know whether his anarchist sympathies

[06:34] mean he's on the left. It's very

[06:36] improbable to think that they would be

[06:38] on the right even though he thinks

[06:39] Donald Trump got robbed of the

[06:40] elections. But maybe he wants to pose as

[06:43] a right-wing person and confirm the pre

[06:47] the predestined narrative that this man

[06:50] must be a right-wing violent person and

[06:53] he thinks maybe um the left will be go

[06:56] easy on him or maybe he thinks that

[06:58] Donald Trump will pardon him. I don't

[07:00] know. But the whole thing is mysterious.

[07:02] And to sum up everything we've been told

[07:06] about January 6 from the congressional

[07:10] committee to Camla Harris's description

[07:14] of it to comparisons with the 4mon $2

[07:17] billion 35 dead 1500 police officers

[07:22] prior riots arson attacks on courouses

[07:25] police precincts that was never really

[07:27] mentioned as a as a comparable crisis in

[07:31] the republic. public, all of these

[07:32] things, a number of FBI informants, a

[07:35] number of FBI agents, any effort to find

[07:38] the pipe bomber, all the treatment of

[07:40] the January, there was it was all never

[07:44] transparent. We never got the honest

[07:46] story. So that begs the question, why?

[07:48] Why didn't they just come out and say,

[07:50] here's all the information? And the

[07:52] reason is is they wanted to cement a

[07:56] narrative in everybody's mind that a

[07:58] reckless demonstration that turned into

[08:01] a riot was a pre-planned

[08:03] in insurrection by Donald Trump who

[08:06] ordered it and therefore should forfeit

[08:09] his political career and he should never

[08:11] be allowed to run for office and they

[08:13] impeached him and they wanted that

[08:15] narrative to stick and it was a complete

[08:18] fabrication. There was a demonstration.

[08:20] There was a riot. It was wrong. But

[08:24] everything else was a democratic

[08:26] narrative as we're seeing most recently

[08:28] with a strange case of Brian Cole that

[08:31] suddenly suddenly after four years of

[08:33] Biden DOJ in action within 10 months,

[08:37] the Trump FBI found out who he was and

[08:41] that he confessed to that crime of

[08:43] leaving pipe bombs at the DNC in the RNC

[08:46] headquarters. Thank you very much. This
