And then.

The Thank you are listening to Red Minus and we will also be putting this up on

Rev Left as well. This is Allison and I'm here with Brett and we are doing somewhat of an emergency

episode because of events going on in the United States right now that I'm sure all of you are aware of.

So yesterday from the time of recording on January 6th, you know right

wingers had a large stop the steel rally in DC. It's one of several rallies

that they've had. This is not the first time they've been there, but today it lined up with the congressional vote to certify the Electoral College and begin the transition of power more formally to Joe Biden.

And they were there to protest that and to

disrupt it and as things progressed and escalated very heavily a crowd some of whom

were armed to varying degrees,

basically got into the capital building

and were able to breach the Congress and Senate chambers.

There's several things that will talk about that led to this

right how much of that was successfully breaching the building how much of it was

being let in by the police is hard to say but what happened was these

buildings were stormed they were successfully occupied for a period of time.

Things were taken out, a lot of dumbass selfie moments were had for these people,

in very self incriminating ways, and we are now kind of in the wake of this right it's

the next day now things have stabilized somewhat obviously they've cleared them out

the congressional vote was able to continue and certify Joe Biden and Trump, you know, as up about an hour ago, managed to get back on Twitter to post a video saying if the election's over, we're having a peaceful transition of power, you know.

So we are kind of on the other side of it,

and there's a question of where things are going
