Joe Biden’s administration announced their plans to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government, in an effort to fight domestic terrorism. In a conversation with reporters, one senior administration official explained the importance of stopping politically fueled violence before it starts.

“This involves creating contexts in which those who are family members or friends or co-workers know that there are pathways and avenues to raise concerns and seek help for those who they have perceived to be radicalizing and potentially radicalizing towards violence.”

“Any particular tech company often knows its own platform very well. But the government sees things — actually, threats of violence — across platforms. They see the relationship between online recruitment, radicalization, and violence in the physical world.”

“This is a strategy that is agnostic as to political ideology or off the spectrum.  What matters is when individuals take their political or other grievances and turn that — unacceptably, unlawfully — into violent action.”

“We are investing many agencies of the government and resourcing them appropriately and asking our citizens to participate. Because, ultimately, this is really about homeland security being a responsibility of each citizen of our country to help us achieve.”

Sky News host Chris Smith says there was some concerns about US President Joe Biden’s “mental capacity” after a video posted on Friday captured him “wandering around” appearing “lost” in a café in England. The video showed the president appearing “stunned” after someone asked him how his meetings in Cornwall were going. “I know Chris Kenny says the man should be in a home and sometimes I can’t disagree, and he shouldn’t be leading the country,” Mr Smith said. Mr Smith showed further gaffes, including one where he said the president “threw his staff under the bus” regarding instructions taking questions from reporters. “I come back to the point I’ve made before, this guy will be very lucky to last his full term,” Mr Smith said.
