BBC allegedly deceptively edited Trump’s Jan. 6 speech into riot lie
President Donald Trump was accused of inciting a riot at the Capitol during his speech to supporters on January 6, 2021. An allegedly deceptively edited clip from that address, which aired on a BBC special just a month before the 2024 presidential election, created the impression that those accusations against Trump were accurate.
The BBC’s one-hour Panorama special “Trump: A Second Chance?” featured a clip where the president appeared to say, “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell.”
‘As well as altering Mr. Trump’s words, the documentary also showed flag-waving men marching on the Capitol in Washington, DC, on Jan. 6, 2021, after the president spoke, which created the impression Trump’s supporters had taken up his “call to arms.”‘
However, an internal memo obtained by the Telegraph accused the BBC of heavily editing the clip by allegedly splicing segments of his speech that were nearly an hour apart.
An unedited version of Trump’s speech revealed his actual words.
“We’re gonna walk down, and I’ll be there with you. We’re gonna walk down. We’re gonna walk down any one you want, but I think right here, we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol, and we’re gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you’ll never take back our country with weakness; you have to show strength, and you have to be strong. … I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” Trump said.
Approximately 54 minutes later, while discussing his concerns about election integrity, Trump said, “Most people would stand there at 9 o’clock in the evening and say, ‘I wanna thank you very much,’ and they go off to some other life, but I said something’s wrong here, something’s really wrong, can’t have happened, and we fight.”
“We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore,” Trump added.

The allegedly manipulated footage, which aired last October, made Trump “‘say’ things [he] never actually said,” according to a 19-page dossier on the BBC’s alleged bias.
“As well as altering Mr. Trump’s words, the documentary also showed flag-waving men marching on the Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, after the president spoke, which created the impression Trump’s supporters had taken up his ‘call to arms.’ In fact, the footage was shot before Mr. Trump had even started speaking,” the Telegraph wrote.
When BBC managers were alerted about the misleading edits, they allegedly “refused to accept there had been a breach of standards.”

Michael Prescott, a former independent external adviser to the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Committee, wrote the bias dossier before leaving his role in June.
“While we don’t comment on leaked documents, when the BBC receives feedback, it takes it seriously and considers it carefully,” a BBC spokesperson told Blaze News. “Michael Prescott is a former adviser to a board committee where differing views and opinions of our coverage are routinely discussed and debated.”

Immigration raid at New Jersey warehouse busts illegal aliens, arresting 22% of workforce
Federal immigration agents executed a raid of a New Jersey container freight warehouse that resulted in the arrest of dozens of illegal aliens, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
‘DHS is committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and accountability within bonded facilities to protect both US commerce and the public.’
Activists arrived on the scene to protest as federal agents conducted the arrests, WCBS-TV reported. They claimed that most of those taken into custody were packers for the international shipping company.
Local reports indicated that DHS agents initiated the workplace inspection at a facility owned by Savino Del Bene, a logistics company headquartered in Italy.
The sweep resulted in the arrests of 46 illegal aliens, approximately 22% of the on-site workforce, a DHS spokesperson told Blaze News.

“The operation is part of DHS’ ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with customs and immigration regulations, safeguard the integrity of the supply chain, and verify that warehouse operators are adhering to all applicable security requirements,” the agency spokesperson said. “DHS is committed to maintaining the highest levels of security and accountability within bonded facilities to protect both U.S. commerce and the public.”

The spokesperson noted that the 46 illegal aliens will remain in DHS custody pending immigration proceedings.
Blaze News reached out to Savino Del Bene for comment.
This marks the third raid in Middlesex County in the past few months. Federal agents detained 15 employees from a wine and spirits warehouse in July and another 29 workers from a freight warehouse in August.
Atlantic Highlands Mayor Lori Hohenleitner stated that the town was not notified about the recent immigration enforcement actions.
“My police department had no idea that ICE was in our town at 6:30 in the morning last Sunday,” Hohenleitner stated, referring to the unrelated arrest of Ruperto Vicens Marquez, a longtime restaurant owner. Hohenleitner accused federal agents of wrongfully arresting Marquez, who, according to KABC-TV, has a valid and recently renewed work visa.
