- Donald Trump has pardoned around 1,500 'January 6 hostages' as he signed his first executive orders as president.
James O'Brien speaks to Eliot Higgins, the founder and creative director of Bellingcat. He spent a month examining hundreds of videos from Jan 6 in collaboration with NBC News.
James and Eliot examine the kind of people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump.
The president spoke to thousands of his supporters at a stadium in Washington DC on Monday evening, as he signed the first orders of his presidency.
The executive actions included the withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate agreement and a 'restoration of freedom of speech'.
Trump also rescinded 78 Biden-era executive actions, after slamming his administration as the 'worst in history'.
He has gone on to pardon around 1,500 defendants charged in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol and is issuing six commutations.
The pardons fulfil his promise to release supporters who tried to help him overturn his election defeat four years ago.

He also referred to them as hostages.
He has just given the signal that it is perfectly legal to commit violent actions in his name . This is textbook fascism.
At least he didn't call them sausages like our mupet did!😅
So what about the BLM and antifa riots in 2020? $billions in damages and 38 killed? Very few of them prosecuted because they were working for the Democrats? Textbook socialism.
@@freewaywarrior8241comment of the Day 😂
SO true.
exacly, now other fascists will feel emboldened to commit acts of violence targeting. Groups, we are all in danger. Maga loves weapons.
The Shitocracy has begun.
You should know as you live in one. Labour set thousands of prisoners free last year. Thousands mate.
Started when Biden pardoned his son and cronies.
Shitocracy great word 😂😂😂
It's all water under the fridge
Richard Nixon - A President who became a criminal.
Donald Trump - A criminal who became a President. Twice.
Hmmmm let me think how I can describe ours 🤔
Please cry 😂
Voted by the thousands the second time around .
Name a president who isn't a criminal?
Okay then, and what do u call Biden pardoning his family on the way out the door..? ☕👀
I feel so sorry for the Capitol police who were violently attacked by these monsters. They must feel so betrayed.
@@suedavis3525 most of the police voted for Trump, They want order restored to those out of control city's , End of
Everyone flying a Thin Blue Line flag and is a Trump supporter is a hypocrite.
I wouldn't be keen on protecting anyone if I were them.
You should watch the unedited full versions of it. Maybe could wake you up a bit
@@suedavis3525 yeah, he loves all law enforcement… as long as you don’t speak anything critical of him
Donald Trump let his personal militia out yesterday. I can't believe we're here now. This country is no longer what it stood for.
Calm down dear
The 'Left' had been RIOTING at the behest of the Demoncrap Party that then mass drugged and locked down the nation. Your lot provoked it, like Israel provoked Hamas.
@matthewmcbride28 sure sweetheart
Daft comment
Nonsense on stilts - buying into the lefty progressive drama😂
Sure because these are the exact people he will need when he pulls his stunts in 28!
last term
Crybaby 😂
Sticking head in sand, I see. We will just ignore the two FALSE impeachments, which was a REAL attempted coup based on LIES that have yet to be admonished. And you wonder why Jan 6th happened. SERIOUSLY??!!
@@charleschin6497 you only have to vote me this one time he said to evangelicals
I don't think there will be any elections in 28. Trump or more likely Musk will be taking back the four years that were stolen.
Complete and utter failure of the US judical system that, if I was a US citizen, would make me think: "I can't trust this system, I will need to get justice myself."
That failure was engineered by Trump in his last term. Biden could have appointed another three or four judges but didn't.
Free Luigi!
Oh what about the Fauchi, J6, and Biden family pardons, they were ok though, Yes.? Seems kind of double standard especially as they were pardoned for any crimes not yet known till now.
The system worked fine. We have a felon as our leader and he alone let them out.
His master the red evil spikey one is pleased by the actions of the orange one.
If you’re for Trump and willing to do anything FOR him, he’ll have your back l, no matter what you do.
He’s creating his own version of Brown Shirts
Well, he'll have your back till you disagree with him, even in the slightest constructive disagreement way..the man demands total allegence, a mad despot.
It's appalling. I never knew i could loathe a single person as much as I do Trump
TDS much? Cry more
James O’Brien surely more loathsome? Come on 😂
You have people in the UK ecstatic at Trump back in the WH, and not forgetting the politicians Johnson, Truss, Farage et al. To say it's insane is an understatement.
In your opinion! Far left hasn’t sorted things out if anything worse .
It's something worth being ecstatic about.. 🤷🏾♂️
Not many.
@@nickjackson5534 Are you nuts, seriously?
@@nickjackson5534The far left have never been in power in the UK. So, who knows what you're trying to say.
The party of law and order 😂
Scary, reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s
Great isn't it.
Oh dear, oh dear, of dear. Clearly you know nothing of 1930s Germany if you’re comparing it to Trump. Especially when he’s already been in office for 4 years before and we’re all still here!
@@dolly22215 🐑
Exactly
@dolly22215 by that logic, a person in 1938 Germany could’ve said the exact same thing. “Nothing happened, we’re all still here. Calm down.” We all know how that turned out.
History is for us to take lessons so we can detect patterns to hopefully prevent a repeat.
Lawlessness reigns in the U.S. now 😢
The wild west on steroids.
It’s been here since 2015.🙏🏻🇺🇸⚖️💙🩺🗽🕊️✨
The U.S. Extreme Court did this to us 😠
The U.S. Supreme Cult 🤬
Question is how to remove the corrupt Supreme Court Trump has put together
18yearsoldnot, when they die of old age or they choose to retire.
A man died for no reason
it was a woman but yes they were on the side of the people. no jan 6 protestor killed anyone!
who? the only person killed on j6 was ashli babbitt who was shot by a a cop
@Sam88-l4k There's always a reason for the chocolate chew!
And a woman was murdered by a man who acts a public servant
And he still has not been put before a lawful court of record
@@PaulHiggins-p1y Murdered?! LOL! Ashli Babbitt was storming the Capitol building - literally smashing down a door - and was shot after being warned several times to stop. She had travelled to Washington and was attacking the Capitol building under the completely false pretext that the 2020 election had been stolen from her, a false pretext engineered by Donald Trump himself, simply to save face having lost the election. The Capitol Police Officer was doing his job. Donald Trump is 100% responsible for her death.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think we can safely conclude that *_'2025 - Phase One'_* has been successfully launched and is in orbit."
A criminal covers for criminals .A fact of life.
Like Biden and his family and faouchi?
Yes Biden pardoned Fauci , his family and the January 6 committee.
@@matthewmcbride28
Brainwashed much?
You talking about Biden pardoning Hunter and the Evil Dr?
@@tommyk6719 ignorant much?
Trump just freed his brown shirts
Are you talking about antifa
@woodlandbiker you do know what antifa stands for?
@@woodlandbiker Blurted drivel
@@martijn3151 yes I do but they do a great brown shirt impression.
The US is lost, we need to wake up and get that in our heads pretty quickly.
🤣
So sad for America.
They're a lost cause, after giving the tangerine the popular vote they quite litterally asked for this.
And embarrassing!
You guys are a woke joke The Biden Crime Syndicate will go down as the worst President of all time Trump will bring prosperity & success to the US In complete contrast to the failure & despair of Starmer
Why the voted him unanimously in .
Why?
They will use this as a recruitment drive as well. Trumps personal army. Very concerning.
He already has the US army. Get a grip
@matthewmcbride28 The US Army isn't supposed to use force on Americans. The Insurrectionists will. You need to get a grip on your facts.
It’s not “ concerning”. Can we please stop using language like this?
We’ve gone way beyond that point.
😂😂😂😂😂 bro stop it.
@@Heartlandohio I’m guessing you are very accident prone in your life ? Because you certainly don’t have any appreciation of real danger’s 😂
Not surprised…. He said he would .. it’s his private militia 😢
They were just Freedom Fighters dealing with an oppressive Regime that forced mass drugging, locked down a nation, put foreigners above nationals.
Yes, his private militia is the ordinary people in America. Nobody asked your opinion here. Go fish.
I'm censored, but you're wrong. Democrats funded riot after riot.
'Stand back standby'.
@@peterk9926
Oh big talk from a small man 🤣
No wonder you love trump 🙄
The party of Law & Order??? What a joke. Not my monkeys. Not my clowns. 🙈🙈🙈🤡🤡🤡
I woke up this morning from a dream and entered a nightmare.
Im curious as to what will happen if 4 years from now trumo decides his work isnt done and he wants to change the constitution to allow a 3rd term in a putin/erdogan fashion.
Pretty much that... asuming noone takes another pop at him before then.
Why would he need to JD Vance will win at a canter.
@@jamesperrie1393 you sure seem certain about that. Are you saying the fix is in already? Vance has negative charisma, has significant opposition within his own party, and we need to see how the nation looks in four years before we can see how the average, uninformed voter feels. Are the eggs cheaper yet?
@@jamesperrie1393
Because his colossal ego won't allow that. Assuming JD actually had the charm to run on his own... his performance in Trump's campaign would suggest not.
If trump is still around it will depend if an extended life is part of the deal with the red evil spikey one.?
He let out CRIMINALS!
This is like unleashing actual brown shirts. America has certainly fallen
I wonder if the brown shirts will be made in the same place the maga hats are.?China.😊
It fell 4 years ago under Binden. You will see that if you go to a major American city and see the crime ridden state they are in
@@flyboy747uk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unbelievable...
Protect your democracy at all costs
He's got his brown shirts on the streets now...
All i see is parallels with 1930s Germany, what i cant believe is im saying it about America!
I know scary. The BrownShirts have just been released into the general public. Us!!!!
How many of people who stood up to trump will be amongst those who he deports claiming them to be illegals.
Ridiculous grow up
Those who fought in WWII would be ashamed.
U mean George Soros getting the Presidential Medal from Biden..? ☕💀
ON MLK day????😢
More important, how does the supreme court react to this. They're probably all for it.
React? They already ruled on it. The majority of the justices gave him permission to do this.
Have you not been paying attention to the slow creep toward this happening?
@@conscientiousobjector5988 that was uncalled for. We have been paying attention.
How do they react to people being thrown in jail to score points against a political opponent..? 🤔
@acharich who was thrown into jail?
True Journalism . Not a Tabloid Hack .
No matter where you are on the political spectrum, a person like Trump should never be supported. This man is willing to bulldoze the political conventions which provide stability in a pluralistic society.
historians will not looks kindly on Merrick Garland
We will be lucky to have historians to have a view on anything if trumpty actually does even a small part of what he claims he's going to do.
Insanity!
Never forget January 6th
Lol
@@FJano12 dragging your knuckles across the keyboard again?
😂
never forget the FBI staged it
You mean the FBI's guided tour of the capitol?!😂😂😂
Don’t worry James, nobody who will roam our streets, why don’t you just worry about who our PM is letting out of prison..
Bit different? Our prisons are full, we need more room for new and worse criminals, and most of Starmer's releases have served most of their sentences.
Instead of 22 years being completely pardoned.
I'm a little too young to have witnessed the Nuremberg rallies, but what I saw and heard yesterday made me think of that terrible time.
So meeting violence with violence doesn't de-escalate a confrontation? i Am ShOcKeD
Answer most of the American people, whether they know it or not. Congratulations on such a balanced show😂
Pure fascism
Labour for letting out a prison full last year.
So much for being the law and order party.
What are your thoughts on the labour early prisoner release scheme?
Who did Starmer let out of prison?
I'm guessing not 1500 insurrectionists.
@@gordonstrong5232 mostly peaceful protesters u mean..? ☕💀
Starmer let out over 1700 prisoners, including violent criminals, murderers, abusers.. 🐍 One was back in prison 48hrs later for abusing their ex upon release.. 🥊
I’m so disgusted. These people are evil.
Better question is who did Biden pardon? You dont seem to ask those questions as much or as forcefully.
just subscribed...
Same.
Who has Keir Starmer let out of prison?
Well done trump
Make Britain great again
It never was great.
If "Britain becomes great again" you'd be down the workhouse.
Not as many pardons as Biden . But JOB would never say that....
Biden didn't pardon violent thugs. No one took part in a coup for Biden.
He's building his trumpstaffel.
The same ones labour release from our prisons early. No different
Very different actually, the people being released here have served most of their sentences and it's a consequence of the prison overcrowding situation inherited from the last government
As a Briton who lives in the US, seeing actual British people shilling for the likes of Trump is insane.
James O'Brien, do you realize that you are seen as a joke on here, and the internet laughs at you because you are so ridiculous.
Fascism has never left us,
You can see these events unfolding in many countries around the world,
Especially the western world.
Scary times we live in!
The end of the USA as a democracy....
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you today's fox
Spain
The orange man is back!
"...there's alot to keep a close eye on in the US, because it seems to be getting bad very, very rapidly", says it all. Many thanks to LBC from the home of my mother's father, Carl Henry Schofield, may he rest in peace.
Makes you wonder whats happening to democracy in USA
What about the 1000s of people in the blm/ george floyd riots who never faced any repercussions? Why was the capitol riots treated so differently ? Atleast the capitol rioters have faced some form of punishment and the george floyd riots caused considerably more damage and injury
The American people have lost all sense of morality. This is a tragedy for America and the world.
People have swallowed the wrong pill, and have missed the fact that the FBI had hundreds of agents in the capitol to facilitate the whole thing. And the headline to this video, Thousands of conspiracy theorists set free. Is it a crime to be a conspiracy theorists? And what theories are you referring to James?
Because this is not a fact. It's a conspiracy theory that Trump supporters like to tell to make themselves feel better.
Insanity 🤯🤬
This comment section is gold 😂
Let's just be glad that america isn't our problem any more.
Happy to be proved wrong in 4 years but ill be so surprised if he actually steps down when his terms up
My guess would be someone will have dealt with things before then.......the USA has form for that kind of thing.
Convicted of seditious conspiracy. Obviously someone Trump can relate to and have sympathy for
Im against trump come raid my house lol
No doubt emboldened.
jiMmiNy nO’BRaiNs salty tears 😭😭😭
how didn’t vote, who voted for him, and the democrats for proposing an inelegible candidate🤷♂️
Explain how the dems candidate was ineligible next to this walking disaster? I would even take sleepy joe for another 4 years than this clownshow.
@ anyone in this groupchat will, me too for sure would have voted for biden or kamala but a black woman in US is literally ineligible because of the race and the gender🤷♂️😓sad but this is what happened
@ would have voted for biden or kamala but a black woman in US is literally ineligible because of the race and the gender🤷♂️😓sad but this is what happened
O'brien calls everyone a gammon ? A favoured meat of the scottish .If i called certain people currys that would be disgusting racism
I wouldn't be surprised if he pardoned Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison and Elizabeth Holmes to appoint them as special economic and technology advisors :-)
Yes, because Starmer didn’t release anyone from prison did he.
No point blaming Trump. Let’s not forget half of the US who voted for him. Trump is simply showing loyalty to those who will fight for him.
Wrong kind of fighting though, surely?
Trump really seems to be sinking to Biden's level now.
WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY FOR JUSTICE!!!
All the tears 😢😢😢
Sod all to do with you O Brein, its America
Imagine being an adult who still struggles with object perminance.
A hamderder-driven blood clot will eventually bring Trump to account because the disgraceful American Legal System didn’t have its briefs on.
James and people like him don't seem to understand how repulsive his passive aggressive style is. James and people like him are WHY Trump is where he is. ffs
NO, Trump is where he is because he spoke directly to the victim in the Republican base and they voted for him, not really understanding that they will continue to be victims, but this time to their Orange godking and his Broligarch tech welfare queens.
You will be blaming him for the Austrian painter next.james is not perfect but compared to some of those nutcases he's a saint.
One line of spin is that Trump is expressing his acceptance of fault for Jan 6th 2021, by pardoning the Jan 6th insurrectionists :-)
never again has happened again.......
There are plenty of examples of the released individuals returning to their towns and wreaking havoc.
It's too bad Charlie Manson has passed on, Foul Donnie could have scored mega maga points with his henchmen by pardoning him. Maybe posthumously?
He probably would have pardoned his bestie Jeffrey epstein
Day 3 and already chaos, injustice, and disappointment.
😊😊😊😊😊
2 time democratically elected president Trump should be paying O'Balding a peppercorn rent for living rent free in his head. 😂
If Soy was a conversation
You'd be up there at the top :)
Subjunctive
The man is amoral
Make sure it´s state police and jurisdictions that arrest and convict. He cannot pardon them
Whether they know the authoritarian playbook or not, some of those men will think twice, perhaps listen to their intuition... see that their willingness to use violence is being instrumentalized - until, in a later phase, somebody more powerful might decide to declare them a nuisance to purge or a threat that the regime gets rid of.
Well..... It's better than the judge who was trading kids for cash.
Was the judge a Magabilly too? Welcome to the Age of Greed.
@phrogme2450 no he was a demoncrat
The judges both Republican and Democrat are seriously unhappy about the pardons and commutations.
I would hope your right but i don't think that the repugs are. Until the repugs reap what they sow they will continue to support trump
I want the board game!
I never missed a minute
Of Mystery Hour!
They Americans made theirs beds, now let them sleep in it.
They will sleep well....unlike uk that's falling apart under leftwing
O'Balding was this outraged when Antifa spent days torching Chicago - but that was 'progressive rioting'. O'Balding appears to be working in a chemist later😂😂 Were there any Carl Beech conspiracy believers?
Trump signed an executive order to leave who in 12mths so we better hope we don't have another pandemic cause no other nation will be sharing their research/ cures with us this is the price of isolationism
So... Noone eill comment how police would just use their firearms in almost any other situation?
Even Trump spends less time thinking about Trump.
