Forces at Work to Replace a World Beacon. The host for this show is Tim Apicella. The guests are Jay Fidell, Winston Welch and Cynthia Lee Sinclair.

Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection of the Capital. What we have learned is there were multiple points of intersection where Trump’s attempt to reverse a democratic free election was present.

Just a few examples are:
Attempts to pressure VP Pence to enact the decertification the Electoral College votes.
Trump’s call to the GA Sectary of State to find 11,780 more votes to swing the vote count to his favor.
Pressure to have the DOJ call the election filled with fraud.
108 minutes of Trump’s inaction and dereliction of duty to dissuade a violent crowd from further insurrection.

Almost daily, we learn more facts of the events leading up to Jan. 6.

We’ve seen the suspension of democracy in this country in the past, but now we face the growing attitude and acceptance that violence is an acceptable form of action to overturn election results. What can we do about it? The panel will explore that question.
