Today Donald Trumps dark vision for america on full display in a deeply alarming Campaign Speech as the Biden Campaign shares breaking news on the campaign front. The quest for accountability, a look ahead at the crucial crossroads for prosecutors in new york, georgia and the classified documents case. Grab your coffee, you will need it. Welcome to the weekend. This morning we are reminded once again of who donald trump really is, at a rally in ohio, the former president said some migrants are not people. He cast down on the future of american democracy if he loses in november. If this election isnt won, im not sure you will ever have another election in this country, does that make sense . I dont think you will have another election in this country in or certainly not a election that is meaningful. He continued to whitewash january 6th, he stood for a recording of the National Anthem performed by 1 6 defendant from jail. He called them quote hostages. Joining us is david corn, youve also a political analyst. David what did you think about Donald Trumps bloodbath comments. And i must note, look, donald trump, campaign, they said he was talking about an economic like back i dont know if i buy that but that is in fact what the campaign said. Trump has always done this. Weve been watching the show for over eight years now and ive seen it even longer if youve covered him for years, he uses these high impact words that have either the direct or implicit tone of violence. January 6th, come down, its going to be wild, go to the capital and fight like. It is actually used explicit violent language and telling his own people at rallies to beat the you know what out of protesters at these rallies. At this point in the game, trying to parse a word like bloodbath is absurd. In the same speech he calls hundreds who beat up cops, unbelievable patriots. When he says the word bloodbath, he knows what hes doing, whether he meets an economic bloodbath or Something Else in the same speech, he is endorsing Political Violence and when he says hell never have another election if i dont win, well, that, too, has a tone of violence to it as well. The only way to take power would be to use power if theres no election. I was just going to say, i want to play that sound from the speech on saturday, in dayton. If we could. We are going to put a 100 tariff on every single car that comes across the line and he wont be able to sell those. If i get elected, and now if i dont get elected its going to be a bloodbath, that will be the least of it. Itll be a bloodbath for the country. They are not going to sell those cars. My take away from that is donald trump is a grown man. Hes a grown man, and last time i, you know, saw and heard him speak, he could speak the english language with some degree of conclusion does my confusion. Those were his words out of his mouth. You have the Biden Administration come back with a statement, you know, basically saying, this is who donald trump is, a loser who gets beat by over 7 million votes and instead of appealing to a wider Mainstream Audience doubles down on his threats of Political Violence. I think that is the right tone. I think the Biden Campaign has put their finger on the right part of this. Is that what we have to do now, to your point, david . We know he has a way of using these words to sort of, insight, you know, the kind of response from his audience but there is meaning behind the words because use the words that you mean, right . He uses apocalyptic language. He says joe biden is a radical, working with communists and antifa to destroy the suburbs. Thats literally what he said over and over, so hes saying, they are coming at us with violence, we have to meet them with violence, of course, his analysis is absurd, joe biden, handinhand with antifa and communist, but it has a racial component because hes talking about white suburbs, its fear mongering. When you talk about violence, you are basically appealing to peoples fear, you are trying to get them to see the other side as people who can only be dealt with, with violence. So i keep coming back to this, it feels like we are kind of stuck in groundhog day. We have the same discussion and debate about trump, his use of language, violence, for the last eight years. You know, when someone tells you who they are, believe them. And to me the scary thing is not that hes doing this, hes been doing this for eight years and it still appealing to tens of millions of americans, and thats a deeper question we need to think about and a deeper challenge for the Biden Campaign and the democrats to contend with. And i would argue, david, for the country. There was also an addition to the violent rhetoric there was the dehumanization of migrants. Saying some migrants are not people. I think we heard enough donald trump sound for today but i wont play anymore but he did brag about the fact that he was have the largest domestic deportation operation in american history. I thought it was notable that he tried to argue that the crisis we are seeing at our southern border has affected hispanic and African American communities more than any others, that seems to me like a very strategic choice. We sat at this table many times talking about the fact that the trump campaign, they know they dont have to win latino voters or when black voters but they just have to siphon off enough margins from democrats to create a buffer in the swing states. Its alarming both because weve seen what happens when donald trump uses this racist, xena phobic rhetoric but its also dangerous to me, symone, that he is slipping and, in the middle, a call to latinos and African Americans to use immigration as a wedge. Hes probably banking on that we are stupid. That black and latino voters are not paying enough attention and they can be scared with his xena phobic and i would argue, quite frankly racist rhetoric, into pitting themselves against one another, in the same breath he says these things, he will also, you know, go on to say, and remind us and say oh, i was very good to the black community, black people love me, remember he said that black people really identified with him because you know, the justice department, from his perspective is after him, and black people identify with that . I think again, people have to look at not the polls, but what is happening in communities. And there is some skepticism among black and latino voters in various swing states across the country but i think people have to slow their role before they equate that with folks voting for donald trump. As the Vice President has been saying on the campaign trail, i heard a speech of hers and she said that democrats are fighting the couch. I think that is actually the more concerning thing these Democratic Campaigns, not that large swaths of people will vote for trump but that they could stay home. Thats true. I mean thats the big issue from the Biden Campaign, reminding people again and again and again, of the dangers that donald trump poses, this is a guy whose mismanagement of the pandemic cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of americans. These were preventable death according to the surveys but people forget about that, to the extent that sean kennedy can go on and say she better four years ago, we are worried, we didnt know what the future or the country would be and yet, so people are you know, they may not love biden or be jazzed by him but maybe to remember what those trump years were like. What he represents. And he does this firehose of outrage, so as soon as he says something or do something outrageous, he does 20 of in and out all close together, they turn it off and its trump being trump and the New York Times even said he traffics in stereotypes. All of these things blur together and pointing it out and getting people energized about him is one of the Biggest Challenges that the Biden Campaign faces. That goes to one of the things ive been saying for a long time. We had a conversation yesterday, we were talking about the recent, you know, the recent not that of course, that the judicial system finds itself in in dealing with his cases, he floods the zone in such a way that the system doesnt know, k, what to do with all of the incoming, but then, he gets sort of, in the space where, okay, hes a former president and weve never done this before and its almost a sense that his team is banking on that, our justice system, political system, is not built to deal with an asymmetrical player like trump, who doesnt care. Hes going to throw it out there, hes going to go out and use the kind of language that he knows, deliberately knows will offend and that hes like okay, im going to leave this nugget here for you to work out. Im moving on. And so, to your point, i think we have to now find ourselves collectively cleansing this out of our system, and not focusing so much on every little bit but staying focused on the bigger question of, the man said he wants to be a dictator, okay. He said he wants to be a dictator, he said there wont be elections again, last night, he said it will be a bloodbath, whether rather economic or regular. Hes telling us. I think michaels point, i think the system could handle trump, it has decided its going to treat him differently but michaels overall point, i dont think we should rush over at all and maybe we all need to take a sip and think about it as americans but why, why, why, do we find it oh, okay, we have to move onto the next thing. We cannot, after eight, 10, treat him like a regular person. Hes not regular. And i just point out something to you, my wife pointed out to me the other day, she said, i just want a day when i can get up and not have to think about talk about react to, or sees donald trump on my news in my papers in my media, folks, we have been inundated and consumed by this one man, for eight years. You dont talk about anyone in your family that much. You dont talk about your friends that much. Ask yourselves, when you have a conversation, how many times does someone raise his name or you bring it up, that is the problem we have in this country right now. We need to cleanse ourselves of this. The election is the way you do it, in my view. I mean, hes telling us that you know, what his world is going to look like, you either want more of that, or you dont. This is for me, a very clarifying moment, but weve had other clarifying moments. Its been a clarifying couple of years. We are at the Inflection Point. We are right there, elections matter, to be clear, we need to say this, we are talking about him and the news media is talking about him because he is running for president and if people arent paying attention and we dont tell people what hes saying, he will get reelected and you all will be surprised with his ladies are Walking Around with the red hurts hoods.

Breaking this morning, that Biden Harris Campaign announced a 53 million Fundraising Hall in february. February is before the president gave his state of the Union Address. The campaign has 155 million in cash on hand. That is the highest total amassed by any current Democratic Campaign in history. And trump has 155 million in legal fees. Congratulations. Lets pull up davids piece. I want to know, we appreciate you for being here this morning. You wrote this piece about Vice President harris, where he said its time to unleash Kamala Harris to trigger donald trump. She has the capacity to swing at trump and spark his ire, theres a long history of the vp serving as attack dog. This was one of the things that we used to talk about well, it is different i think because she is the woman, First Black WomanVice President but, she has tried to find a way in using language i think that appeals across the board, to just really, call the thing a thing when it comes to trump and republicans. But you say you want to see more of that. I think nikki haley, did a public service. She taunted trump and he got triggered very easily, and showed us the Real Trump Again And again and again. I think you know, trump always takes the bait, and the democrats need to keep reminding people as we talked about in the first segment here again of the true nature of donald trump, not just these violence and demagogue, its just ungracious, hes not a good human being. Who could get under his skin, on almost a daily basis. I think she could. I think if she took on this traditional role of being the attack person on the ticket, he would be enraged by her, particularly its a woman and particularly because its a black person, and that would you know, serve one of the many things that needs to be done by the Biden Campaign. She was a prosecutor, remember she took a few good pokes at joe biden in 2020 in the debates and she was very very effective in doing that. Her campaign overall, she has the ability to do that, and you know, she is out there highlighting some issues, Marijuana Reform and reproductive freedom and thats all good but i think there needs to be more fight coming from the Biden Campaign towards trump. Wait, i have a quick question. I need to know if she gets hazard pay for taking on that role . She should but you know, she will take a lot of incoming but shes already taking a lot of incoming. Unfairly. Shes already a target of republicans, you know, with the mantra, a vote for biden is a vote for, and she should be allowed to lean into that. We are a ticket, we are a team and then have her do her thing. Let her prosecute the case against the Trump Administration and what they did and since he is running as a former incumbent president but also the man himself, and its to your point, david, in your great piece, i think it frees biden, to level up the game narratively, into other areas, that he specifically is good at. And i think that is the if youve seen it historically were Vice President ial candidates have been able to do that jamming. You know better than anybody else, and politics, its hit or be hit. Every day. You talk about policy, but with donald trump, that rule is on steroids. And they need to find a way to do that. We dont have time to play any sound but i would just note, number 1, joe biden, democrats for a long time have said, we need to hear more from joe biden the president about trump and the threat. And i think the Vice President has been consistent but i dont think we can talk about her going on the attack against trump without noting the context, she is the first woman, first woman of color, and it will be perceived differently. Some people want her to attack more, give some jobs, they need to be ready to defend the Vice President. I agree with that and i think they would but at the end of the day, thats part of the role as a Vice President ial candidate a campaign is to be the person who throws the jobs that the president ial candidate cannot.

Yep, another partial shutdown and while republicans struggled to perform the basic duties, they are continuing to distract with sideshows. On wednesday, the Oversight Committee will hold a public hearing in a baseless quest to guess what, impeach president biden. The president son, hunter biden, has rejected an invitation by republicans to testify with his lawyers blasting the stunt, as a, quote, circus act. Joining us now congresswoman, stacey plaskett. Who serves as the u. S. Virgin islands representative. Thank you for being here. Thanks for having me. Congresswoman, i think our viewers would be forgiven if they have lost track of which potential shutdown this one is, so can you just walk us through , just as they would be forgiven if they couldnt name the Speaker Of The House given the turnover. What is at stake with this looming deadline . Remember, we were able, finally able to pass a partial appropriations bill, which funds the government through next year, for some agencies. What is still left on the table are the ones that are the most vexing, that is the Department Of Defense and a particular department of Homeland Security. So within those, we are running up against issues of the border, immigration, as well as funding for ukraine and The Middle East, et cetera. So those are the things that i think mike johnson is unwilling to take a position that he knows will potentially oust him, with his party, and so, we may have, this sounds crazy, a continuing resolution for the entire year. To keep it going until we get through the next election, which is just absolutely unheard of. You have, specifically as you just raise, the idea that the hills reported on, where House Republicans are pushing to zero out Homeland Security secretaries salary, so there but funding for the cbp app which the Biden Administration has used to parole migrants into the country and so you have this sort of convergence of their efforts to impeach him and you have this idea now, we are going to zero out his salary, theres also talk about getting rid of tsa. Its crazy. I just dont even understand how how they are thinking, what are you getting inside the chamber . Its one thing to have the bubble out here where theres noise on the street one way but inside the chamber, is that a serious effort and movement coming on the right or is the fracture within that caucus . I think theres fracture in the republican caucus. Democrats are also reminding them, we do have a bipartisan order bill that is sitting and available for us and the president was able to work there out. But we do have this discussion with them, each one of these appropriations, republicans at the super far right, you know which one are, they have tried to zero out the secretaries salaries, and its not new and usually it fails as it right as an amendment on the floor but we understand that this is the rallying cry, the department of Homeland Security is the rallying cry that they will be using in this next election which is why we are seeing this continued fight with this discussion. They want funding for a border wall, we must have the wall and mexico is going to pay for it. But we will defined tsa and Homeland Security but we want a wall. What they are talking about Hollowing Out Dhs and to be clear its funding for dhs and the pentagon both of those are on the Chopping Block for this friday. Do you know how crazy that sounds, the republicans want to zero out the Department Of Defense. Its not the democrats from the far reaches of california, this is the Republican Party requesting this. What is the reallife implication of a delay in funding for the department of Homeland Security or the pentagon. Catastrophic if we were to have a shutdown. This relates to, not just ice and the border, we are always talking about the border but it relates to our immigration and customs throughout, everyone coming into this country, it deals with the security of this country, remember Homeland Security was created after september 11th, in 2001, to protect the homeland from enemies, this will put us at a tenuous position, at the same time, the fbi director has said the war in The Middle East has increased Terrorist Activity against this country as well. You are talking about threats from outside of the homeland, you also are talking about threats from inside the homeland. Hes referring to january 6th defendants as hostages, potentially creating a Permission Structure in the future for Political Violence. When he makes these remarks, its easy for some folks to dust them off, its not easy for any of us because we have bear witnessed to what happens when trump calls for that kind of violence and also says that the folks who committed those acts of violence are, quote hostages. Lets think about this, its not just a threat against us as members of congress, or threat against a certification of election. What if judges go against what donald trump desires, is he going to remove judges . Is he going to remove you, the media, when youre not reporting as he wishes, is he going to shut that down and insight individual to do that . Today, for me, tomorrow, for you. And we all have to be concerned about what the rhetoric is that is not just rhetoric, its reality. What he says, he believes, and he has acted on that in the past. The other thing that weve been talking about this morning, with the former president is his use of words and language that, something to play off as oh, thats not what he meant. As my mama said and ill keep saying this, hes a grown man, and so, presumably at 78 years old, he should know how to say what he means and mean what he says. How do members on the heels of what happened in january 6th, when they hear him out there saying things like a bloodbath and using those terms, what happens inside that building . What are they thinking out here. The republicans are like, hes just being trump. I think some of them think that he is just being trump but i think theres a number of them were fearful of themselves and thats why in fact, they support him, full throated the way they do because they want to be on his good side. There are those that say this man is indeed a threat to democracy. I think its very telling that we have almost all of the former Vice President s saying they would not endorse trump, have we heard from quail, other than well, who advised pence, and all of them have been up close and personal with his former president have said, this man is a danger to democracy. There are a lot of dangerous out there, you are in the throes of that and trying to move the country forward. We need to keep moving forward. Thank you so much for being with us, next, former cia director john brennan joins the conversation. Mass protests in russia today many are calling what was a sham president ial election.

Putin is expected to win a fifth term after using his dictatorship to squash all opposition. Some voters expressed their disposition by Lighting Explosives during the first day of elections on friday. A final surge of protest are expected to be taking place right now at this moment. Joining us now is john brennan. He is the author of undaunted, my fight against americas enemies at home and abroad. Its so good to see you, director brennan. As much as this is about Reelecting Putin, its about is trying to legitimize the war that he is prosecuting against ukraine. Talk us through whats at stake here, not just for russia but global democracy. As you point out, this is a Sham Election but putin does seek the legitimacy that he believes such an election will give him. This is the first election being held for the president of russia since the russian invasion of ukraine and as we know theres been a fair amount of opposition thats been suppressed within russia but theres a lot of discontent with what has been happening inside of ukraine and all of the russian soldiers who have been killed, so therefore, putin wants to make sure that this election is going to give him a resounding victory, and an election that is not competitive at all. I want to call your attention to reporting by our nbc colleague, who knows that putin will likely emerge from election feeling emboldened and secure in his position, which will translate into how russia behaves vis vis Going Forward and how that could potentially impact u. S. Relations. This is not so much about Reelecting Putin as it is an exercise in legitimizing the war because you make the point, this is the first election since the war began, so how does that stack up in terms of the u. S. Position and emphasizing even more so, the need to stand with and support ukraine by getting it what it needs . Development has been breaking for past several months and there have been setbacks, ukrainians on the battlefield and therefore russia has some battlefield momentum. Also, he sees whats happening in the halls of congress in the united states, in terms of rock in the part of so many members of congress and the sentiment that is growing especially in the Republican Party where funding for the Ukrainian War Effort is diminishing. And therefore, putin is seeing all of these developments including the nomination of donald trump as Republican Party candidate for president and if putin sees that trump really has a real chance to get back into the white house, i think he really sees that over time, hes going to be able to prevail in ukraine. Trump will turn a blind i to whatever putin once. Even though he says hes the one thats going to hold putin accountable. You talk about the halls of congress, and we want to get your reaction to Senator Schumer this week on Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu but the protests in russia are significant because russia is not a place where people protest, because of the fear of what will happen to them if they do but we saw when electing a volley, when his funeral took place, scores and scores, thousands of people came out in reaction to that, they were rounded up by Russian Police they are still out there today, protesting. What does that signify to you . It shows there are many courageous russians that are so opposed to the putin regime and what is happening right now in ukraine that they are willing to risk being incorporated by the Russian Security services by showing up at Alexei Navalnys funeral, by responding to the calls to show up at new today and making these long lines and be a protest vote, so it shows, there is a fair amount of sentiment within russia that is opposed to putins continued role, and so, as you point out, the Security Service in russia are ruthless, they are thugs, they torture, even kills opposition. But this is the basis for the putin regime, how its been able to stay in power for so long but you see these russians who are showing up at these polls, as a mark of the extent of the discussed with the putin regime. Lets play that sound from Senator Schumer earlier this week, speaking about Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu. Trimester Benjamin Netanyahu has lost his way. By allowing his political survival to take precedence over the best interests of israel. Nobody expects minister Benjamin Netanyahu to do the things that must be done to break the cycle of violence, to preserve israels credibility on the world stage and to work towards a two state solution. I believe that holding a new election, once the war starts to wind down with give israelis an opportunity to express their vision for the postwar future. Director brennan, notable that the president was asked about Senator Schumers speech and he said he made a quote good speech. Are we at an Inflection Point . I believe what he did was to give expression to the sentiment within israel and the united states, increasingly within the jewish community, that Benjamin Netanyahu really is an obstacle to making any progress toward bringing some semblance of peace and stability to the region. And therefore, i think what the white house did was to point out that schumer was in fact, speaking i think very boldly and its unusual for a leader of the congress to speak out against one of our very closest partners, abroad, israel, but i think it just shows the depth of the frustration that the Biden Administration has that Benjamin Netanyahu continues to acknowledge the need for legitimate palestinian rights and aspirations. He continues to engineer this ruthless Military Campaign inside of gaza. That doesnt mean that schumer is not continuing to condemn the atrocities committed by hamas but at the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu, is not helping to make progress toward bringing this conflict to an end.

Lets end this hour of the weekend where we started, donald trump and the alarming comments he made in ohio last night, defending insurrectionists, and warning we wont have elections if he loses in november. Director brennan, just, thoughts . Its almost beyond words. But none of what donald trump says should surprise us at all. The word of a demagogue, someone who will continue to try to incite violence, try to scare people about whats happening in this country in case he doesnt get elected, but its something that i think, im still so shocked there are so Many Americans that continue to listen to him and believe in him and unfortunately i think there are too many politicians out there, too many members of the Republican Party that continue to give donald trump a pass for saying things like this, to say that you know, there will be no more elections if he doesnt get elected president , so i think it really is up to so many individuals to be able to speak out against donald trump that as long as he continues to do it and he is rationalized by those around him in terms of what he is saying, i think we will see more and more of this as we approach the november election. How does he infect in fact is one way to look at it, certainly impact, a number of air agencies, certainly, as we saw with donald trump, when he began his presidency the first act, for me, that should have been a big red flag for folks, standing in front of the names of the fallen at the cia building. And just completely politicizing and denigrating that service, in a way that weve seen over and over again. The institutions, one of which you represented at the cia, youve got all of our departments and agencies with good public servants, how does this feed them, how does it feel to them, what do they take away when they hear a former president , who wants to be president again, speaking the way that he speaks about the country and about citizens, who tried to overthrow our election . Its deeply worrying to my former colleagues because donald trump as you pointed out during his first term, he tried to exploit and manipulate a lot of these institutions and now hes promised that if he is elected president again he will bring these agencies directly under his direct supervision. Hes planning to weaponized the department of justice and others and he does not want to have an independent Objective System of justice, he fears them. So its taken from the authoritarians playbook. Hes trying to neuter these organizations and bring them under your control, neuter the free press making sure that hes able to control that so therefore i think a lot of my former colleagues in Law Enforcement and security, really are worried about what hes going to do to undermine these institutions. Institutions that we rely on to make sure that the rule of law is respected but hes continues to disparage them, and therefore what i think my former colleagues are worried about is the return of trump to the white house is really going to again, lead to undermining these organizations and these independent agencies that we so heavily rely on.
