Now it's my turn. There is no turn.
No, no, no.
Stop, stop.
This is the Arizona Constitution and we're going to have
a discussion like men.
On December 3rd, a group of self-proclaimed patriots forced their
way into the House of Representatives at the Arizona State
Capitol to protest the results of the 2020 election.
Brian Mache, a reality TV dad of sextuplets who is
also running for governor,
led the charge. Film this.
Everyone
all right, Sir, You're trespassing.
You're going to leave. We're leaving.
You put your hand on me.
Put your. Now. You're done.
I'm owning your badge. You hear me,
S Hernandez? You're done, buddy.
You just find your warrant right there.
What's going to happen when they infringe on all of
our freedoms?
It's going to affect you and your families Also,
Arizona's Stop the Steel demonstrators believe it is their civic
duty to overturn the 2020 election.
We are calling forth
all members of the Proud Boys,
the Three Percenters, the Oath Keepers,
any other militia groups within the state of Arizona?
Non militia groups. Excuse me?
Non militia groups OK calling forth for a muster and
a head count.
We are now facing legitimate domestic enemies legitimate an insurrection
at coup.
They first came out to protest while the votes were
still being counted.
We're here to say count the legal votes,
and we want a fair and honest election
and fueled by baseless conspiracy theories,
built momentum through November and December.
Several told us they were ready for violence.
The problem is that we have intolerant groups from the
left
like ANTIFA and BLM will do any dirty little trick.
But yeah, this is just for my protection.
And this is just in case,
you know, things get really violence,
but but it's all going to be for defense.
If this is all for demons,
you know, no offense at all.
And while some eventually took their anger all the way
to Washington to protest as Congress certified Joe Biden's win,
others watched on a big screen at the Arizona State
Capitol.
Patriots have stormed the Capitol.
It was, in many ways,
the moment they had been waiting for.
Early in the morning, as Congress began to certify the
2020 election results,
a crowd of hundreds gathered in downtown Phoenix to watch
We Will stop the steal.
Despite a lack of evidence,
73% of Republicans, what's likely 10s of millions of people,
believe that there was widespread voter fraud.
Mr. Vice President I rise
up for myself and sixty of my colleagues to object
to the
counting of the electoral ballots from Arizona.
Within minutes of some Republican officials attempt to overturn Arizona's
election results,
a mob of Trump supporters ransacked the Capitol.
January 6th, 2021 was a day of deadly violence that
left many Americans wondering,
how could this happen? But at this Stop the Steel
rally in Phoenix,
people were ecstatic. More than that,
united we stand. We want answers and we won't get
them.
Adele Belgate is 30 years old.
He's new to community organizing,
but he's devoted the past two months to organizing numerous
rallies to challenge the election.
This is your moment to shine.
We are standing here in a historic moment that will
be remembered forever.
Your children one day will ask you,
did you fight for this country or did you watch
it fall?
Before this, he had more experience reaching people online with
his social media marketing company.
To be honest with you,
I actually voted Democrat in the previous elections.
But as a tech expert,
what I'm seeing, what's happening right now tells me that
something is wrong and the errors continue to happen.
The glitches are coming out,
the eyewitness testimonies are happening,
and as ACEO of a company,
I tell you, we just need to look into it.
We need to understand if any foreign invaders are taking
our election.
And the way it's pointing,
it just seems that way.
Adele has been involved with the cause since day one
as people gathered spontaneously after election night.
And God, with your blessings,
hopefully we can. We can have the outcome
that you wish and God's name.
Amen. They coordinated where and when to meet using social
media and messaging apps.
As the weeks went on,
conservative and far right personalities started popping up in the
crowds.
We have the Alex Jones come out last night.
We got Charlie Kirk here today.
We have only begun to fight.
The Stop the Steal hashtag is now banned from social
media sites.
But for those gathered here,
getting D platformed is a badge of honor.
I've been banned permanently from Facebook.
Now
you know, but this is amazing.
This is showing that I've.
I've done my job, you know,
and it's not done yet,
but, you know, it shows that I'm doing something.
So the group is often loving and supportive towards each
other.
When someone from the other side crosses into their ranks,
it gets tense.
National white supremacy and all the There's no,
there is no white supremacy.
Is that why there's white supremacy?
If there's white supremacy? Biden is a white supremacist.
Fake. You're fake, dude. You're fake.
Look how you're dressed just to see if someone will
harass him.
At the daily rallies, debunked conspiracy claims were major talking
points.
Oh, we're just out here to support our great president.
We believe that he won.
If you eliminate all those
fraud ballots, all the ballots that went through and and
the Dominion voting machines changed the vote from Trump to
Biden.
I would like to see recounts in
almost every state. It should be every state that use
that Dominion software.
You know all the other scandals,
Obama gate, Pizza Gate, Watergate scandals,
stuff like that. So I was like,
you know what? This is Sharpie Gate and then the
list of powerful people they believe are in on it.
Clinton Foundation is heavily invested in them.
I mean,
Nancy Pelosi's family, just George Soros money
and we start to follow the money and you start
to follow the money trail.
It ties you back in a lot of ways to
China.
There's also a money trail from Stop the Steal back
to Trump's political organizations,
which have raised over $200 million
since Election Day, using misleading appeals about the integrity of
the vote
as Trump leaves office, Stop the Steal is likely to
remain a battle cry
even though there is no evidence for many of their
most deeply held beliefs.
Just want to just tell people,
wake up, man. This is like this.
This is the slide into socialism and the slide into
communism right now.
It's happening right before our eyes.
We're losing rights left and right.
We're losing freedoms left and right,
and people are just asleep.
They don't realize security ramped up in Washington and at
state houses across the country in the lead up to
inauguration
after the deadly riots at the US Capitol,
authorities have arrested several Arizonans,
including a fixture of Phoenix.
Stop the steel rallies, Jacob Chansley,
AKA the Q Shaman. Still
Arizona's Stop the steel devotees are even questioning what they
saw unfold at the Capitol.
Riots.
99.9% of what happened in DC today was peaceful.
You asked me why it was any sort of violent.
I tell you why Antifa started the break into the
capital.
So ask Antifa why they did that.
According to the FBI, there is no indication that Antifa
played a role in the riot.
While the movement to overturn the election may have failed,
those who have been involved from the beginning have already
set the stage for the next four years.
It's going to continue rallying every weekend,
or maybe we'll start doing it every day until the
the real results are shown
just a few more.
