The first video is by itself over 10 hours. The 2nd is over 5, and the third is over 8. I doubt very little of it is evidence for much of anything, probably mostly political posturing. In any case for evidence to be meaningful it has to support a logical argument. If the facts behind the argument are challenged then the evidence (which is not the same as links to dozens of hours of political posturing) can be used to support the claims of fact. If the logic of the argument is faulty then the facts behind it are irrelevant. So first make the argument. What Trump did was claim the election was stolen. That isn't insurrection, and it isn't calling for violence. He also said "go to the capitol", which isn't a call for violence at the capitol, but protest at it. He said you have to show strength, that's pretty mild. Its less a call for violence then "Get in their face" which has been said by a number of Democrats in recent years. And in a couple of cases it was even "punch them in the face". (I had posted a video of that but the link no longer works, Youtube took it down)
