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