What was said
… I have in the Barnes Review, which is, I recommend to everyone, I had the cover story a few years ago, I think it was 18, on the bloody so-called Bloody Sunday massacre, which is right here in the thick of all of this, on January 9th of 1905, which was an aborted attempt to take over the government rather than the march for peace and justice, as it's normally depicted, with no exceptions.

The Pete Quiñones Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Encyclopedia.com and Marxist.com state that the event occurred on 9 January 1905 in the Julian calendar, which corresponds to 22 January in the Gregorian calendar.[1][2]
Supports. Wikipedia and Britannica give the date as 22 January [O.S. 9 January] 1905, confirming the Old Style date of 9 January.[3][4]
Contradicts. Sources describe the event as a massacre of peaceful, unarmed demonstrators marching on the Winter Palace, which contradicts the passage's characterization of it as an aborted attempt to seize power. The extracted claim itself does not repeat that framing, so it is treated as a departure from the passage rather than a grading issue.[1][4][5]
Context. Sources that give the date as 22 January use the Gregorian calendar, so the claim's January 9 date depends on the Old Style convention; this is a calendar difference, not a contradiction.[5][6]
