Speaker 1: The rule of law is under assault, and what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is promising is the force of a new type
Speaker 1: of law that will stigmatize, that will target on the
Speaker 1: base of an emotional reaction from a mom Get them,
Speaker 1: punish them, stigmatize them. You're under assault from who the
Speaker 1: black people, the brown people, the Asian people, anybody who
Speaker 1: looks different. It is the twenty fourth of May. One
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days remain until the American people
Speaker 1: will decide who sits in the Oval office. This is
Speaker 1: the warning. Yesterday, Donald Trump left the Manhattan Courthouse and
Speaker 1: crossed over into the Bronx, where he delivered one of
Speaker 1: his most unhinged speeches of twenty twenty four. His words
Speaker 1: are nonsensical.
Speaker 2: They're coming from so many places. We don't have any idea.
Speaker 2: In many cases, we don't even know what the language.
Speaker 2: You have, languages that people don't even know about.
Speaker 1: What makes them dangerous is the intention to enforce them
Speaker 1: with the power of the presidency, with the force of law.
Speaker 1: What Donald Trump is promising is a mass deportation campaign.
Speaker 2: They cannot stay. We will immediately begin the largest criminal
Speaker 2: deportation operation in our country's history. Because this situation is
Speaker 2: sustainable by no country, No country can sustain this.
Speaker 1: You could hear the incited crowd yelling send them back,
Speaker 1: send them back, send them back. There is a thin
Speaker 1: line at a Trump rally between an incited crowd and
Speaker 1: a mob. We've seen the mob turn to violence before,
Speaker 1: on January sixth of twenty twenty one, when an incited
Speaker 1: mob of political extreme missed attacked the United States Capital.
Speaker 1: Please notice some of the flags that were flying high
Speaker 1: during the attack on the peaceful transition of power. These
Speaker 1: all together are flags of fascism that support the rhetoric
Speaker 1: and the cause of a fascist. Who is the Republican
Speaker 1: slash meganominee for president who promises to lock up his
Speaker 1: political opponents. Let's listen, do you regret not locking her up?
Speaker 1: And if your president again, will you lock people up? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2: The answers you have no choice because they're doing.
Speaker 1: It as who promises retribution, who promises revenge, who over
Speaker 1: and over again stigmatizes a minority group as the other
Speaker 1: and alleges nefarious intent, stigmatizes them as an enemy, a poison,
Speaker 1: a fifth cole and within he did it in the
Speaker 1: Bronx talking about Chinese Americans.
Speaker 2: Thege numbers of people are coming in from China. And
Speaker 2: if you look at these people, did you see him?
Speaker 2: They are physically fit. They're nineteen to twenty five. Almost
Speaker 2: everyone is a male, and they look like fighting age.
Speaker 2: I think they're building an army. They're twenty nine thousand
Speaker 2: people over the last I think they're building. They want
Speaker 2: to get us from within.
Speaker 1: I think they're building an army. In Trump's dangerous fictionalized imagination,
Speaker 1: there is an invading army of Chinese men pouring over
Speaker 1: the southern border with their bedrolls and Coleman campstows, waiting
Speaker 1: to wage war against the American people at the right moment,
Speaker 1: sometime in the distant future, when the whistle blows. This
Speaker 1: is nothing new. It's just an update on the old
Speaker 1: yellow paridemic GAGHERI from times gone by. But that's not
Speaker 1: the worst of what Trump is taught talking about it.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to Trump talk about immunizing the police to
Speaker 1: do violence across America if they wish to do, and
Speaker 1: understand the political intent of what he's promising.
Speaker 2: I'm going to indemnify all police officers and law enforcement
Speaker 2: officials throughout the United States to protect them from being
Speaker 2: destroyed by the radical left for taking strong actions on crime.
Speaker 2: And remember, black, Hispanic Asian people need this protection and
Speaker 2: safety more than anyone else. Don't ever forget it. And
Speaker 2: after years of talk by the radical left Democrats, we
Speaker 2: are going to give them the protection they need and
Speaker 2: we're going to protect our police. We're going to make
Speaker 2: sure they do a great job.
Speaker 1: But before we examine closely what it is that he says,
Speaker 1: let's back up a bit. Let's back up to that
Speaker 1: moment in the Oval Office when Donald Trump is asking
Speaker 1: the Chairman of the tr chiefs of Staff and senior
Speaker 1: military leaders if he can order the American military to
Speaker 1: wound lack people peacefully protesting in front of the White House,
Speaker 1: asking if the armed forces of the United States can
Speaker 1: shoot them in the legs, in the arms to deter them. Now,
Speaker 1: what wound up happening on that day was a tear
Speaker 1: gas attack and an assault on peaceful protesters by government thugs,
Speaker 1: jack booted thugs, so to speak. They lacked identification, they
Speaker 1: lacked badges, they lacked any markings whatsoever. They were imported
Speaker 1: from the Federal Bureau of Prisons and they were turned
Speaker 1: loose to do violence. And the simple fact of the
Speaker 1: matter is they should not be immunized in a special
Speaker 1: category protected from justice, because there is a long history
Speaker 1: of abuse. When racists are given a badge and a
Speaker 1: gun in a Marria, tragedy ensues George Floyd, the Edmund
Speaker 1: Pettis Bridge. What all of these actions have in common
Speaker 1: is their immorality, but also their criminality is their criminal acts.
Speaker 1: And no officer of the law should have a license
Speaker 1: to be a criminal. It is antithetical and it is dangerous.
Speaker 1: The rule of law is under assault. And what Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is promising is the force of a new type
Speaker 1: of law that will stigmatize, that will target on the
Speaker 1: base of an emotional reaction from a mom. Get them,
Speaker 1: punish them, stigmatize them. You under assault from who the
Speaker 1: black people, the brown people, the Asian people, anybody who
Speaker 1: looks different. This isn't a new argument in American life.
Speaker 1: It's a reassertion of an old dogma thought extinguished in
Speaker 1: the third decade of the twenty first century by a
Speaker 1: man who leads a police cause that promises now, in
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty five short days, to do two things.
Speaker 1: If it wins to dismantle completely the federal government of
Speaker 1: the United States and the United States Civil Service, making
Speaker 1: an oath necessary for government service. And that oath is
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump, the man above the nation, above the flag,
Speaker 1: above the Constitution of the United States. It is the
Speaker 1: most dangerous idea since the Confederate Constitution. It is appalling,
Speaker 1: but it is real and it is happening. What Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is doing in the Bronx is making promises that
Speaker 1: he intends to keep. And these promises aren't about making
Speaker 1: your life better or even pretending to care that he
Speaker 1: wants to make your life better. No, these promises are
Speaker 1: about the execution of power against enemies, against scapegoats, to say,
Speaker 1: the lust of a mob. Trump feeds off of the energy.
Speaker 1: He feeds off of the anger. He fuels it and
Speaker 1: is fueled by it. Let's watch.
Speaker 2: It's a very serious, horrible thing. It would have never
Speaker 2: happened if the election weren't rigged, it would have never happened.
Speaker 1: Let me introduce you to a senior United States Airman,
Speaker 1: Roger Fortson. He was shot and killed by Florida sheriff's
Speaker 1: deputy from Oscaloosa County. Airman Fortune was shot six times.
Speaker 1: The sheriff's office knocked on his door. He answered it
Speaker 1: and oft time, surprised by the knock, with a handgun
Speaker 1: at his side in his hand. He did not draw it,
Speaker 1: He did not point it in a dangerous or threatening manner.
Speaker 1: It was his right to be armed. It was his
Speaker 1: right to beholding that weapon at his side answering his
Speaker 1: door in the state of Florida under Florida law. The
Speaker 1: police officer asked him to step back and shot him
Speaker 1: six times. A senior airman of the United States Air Force,
Speaker 1: a man serving his country who swore an oath to
Speaker 1: defend the constitution of the United States. The sheriff's deputy
Speaker 1: killed an American airmen. Our airmen or soldiers, or sailors
Speaker 1: or marines, defend the nation, wear the cloth of the nation.
Speaker 1: Look at the grief on the faces of the Air
Speaker 1: Force personnel. Ponder it the indecency of this act. It
Speaker 1: is up to a jury to decide if it is criminal.
Speaker 1: But certainly the man who killed Senior Airman Roger Fortune
Speaker 1: does not deserve an immunity to be protected just because
Speaker 1: he's a cop. When you put on a badge, the
Speaker 1: only license that gives you is to protect and serves.
Speaker 1: It is no mark of immunity to hunt and to kill,
Speaker 1: and that is a sad tradition for a lot of
Speaker 1: law enforcement historically across swats of a America where injustice
Speaker 1: has been delivered at the tip of a gun, the
Speaker 1: blunt force of a baton with the authority of a badge,
Speaker 1: a license to kill with the designation of a law
Speaker 1: enforcement badge is a license to commit evil and to
Speaker 1: do terrible things. Authority and power in America must always
Speaker 1: be restrained. And when you hear someone talking about unleashing
Speaker 1: it in the name of control, in the name of order,
Speaker 1: these are words from somebody who does not believe in
Speaker 1: the American project, does not believe in the American experiment,
Speaker 1: who wants to impose by force what they cannot achieve
Speaker 1: by persuasion. That is the promise inherent and Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: unhinged remarks, these mass deportation camps from which millions will
Speaker 1: be cast out, will require a police state from sea
Speaker 1: to shining sea. Donald Trump has already laid down that
Speaker 1: he intends to deploy the military into the country for
Speaker 1: law enforcement against the American people, to get the criminals.
Speaker 1: And how do we know who's criminal. Well, Donald Trump
Speaker 1: told us out is rally. We just have to look
Speaker 1: at their skin to suspect them that they don't belong,
Speaker 1: that they're not part of the American family or story.
Speaker 1: May I see your papers please? We must resist us.
Speaker 1: What Donald Trump said in the Bronx matters, and it
Speaker 1: should be heard. There is no need to interpret it.
Speaker 1: It should be understood literally what he's saying. He's saying directly.
Speaker 1: These promises are sincere, and they must be heard, and
Speaker 1: they must be understood, and over the one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty five days that remain, they must be opposed. It
Speaker 1: is the conspiracies and the madness that have been unopposed, unrebutted,
Speaker 1: that have led us to this desperate hour where this
Speaker 1: man can say anything, do anything, and the mob is
Speaker 1: getting ready to act on his orders when the time
Speaker 1: is right, one hundred and sixty five days from now,
Speaker 1: if he loses. I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning
