no place in america for threats of political violence. we must always resolve our differences at the ballot box and yet and yet, david jolly, this where we find ourselves. it is, and many people can easily remember when gabby giffords and 18 other people were shot in tucson for having a congress person on your corner, vent and i think that is the real danger, right? fortunately, we are talking about a threat to swalwell and his children. we re not talking about an actual incident, but who knows the next time and the next member of congress if there is actually an incident and this is where there is a requirement on our political leaders to de-escalate. they must, and, look, political violence existed before donald trump, but donald trump in many ways has mainstreamed it. the entire insurrection on january 6th was about using political violence to stop the peaceful transfer of power. that is a contribution of trump s leadership to violence
januaryth, if you can take prosecutors that he identifies on christmas holidays or thanksgiving holidays and says these people are enemies and you would be a devout follower of donald trump and perhaps you act on that, and so in cases where a correlation being made public and can we have it, and wrap the finger trips of donald trump himself. i agree with frank, someone on the s.w.a.t.ing issue needs to be arrested and go to prison and that should be a national score to put a stop, and i m afraid it will continue. frank figliuzzi, thank you for your time. david, you are sticking with me. when we return, republicans are not shy about pushing disinformation and what they re
disclosures that trump did not give when he was sitting in the oval office that he s now giving, now that he s running in 23. we just now learned that while he was in office he received trademarks from the chinese government at the same time that they re somehow checking into his hotels and things like that, and to be clear also for the american people, it s not a strict prohibition. the prohibition says yeah, you can t just do it, but if you are going to try to do it, you at least have to come to congress and let congress make the ultimate decision. he chose not to do that so there was another option, and the fact that he decided not to makes it only look like more shady trump business. david jolly, let s stick on that last point. the report is titled white house for sale. there is a danger of having a president who never cuts ties with his business, in addition to a president who does not believe as representative crocket just laid out, that the rules apply to him. that s right.
staggering 25% of the americans believe that attempted to halt the certification of the 2020 election. we are back with eddie any with david. eddie, you were in a meeting with the president just yesterday about this speech. i know that you cannot get into specifics, but i do wonder what you are looking for tomorrow from him? well, what i hope let me say that i want to honor the privacy of that meeting. i was honored to be a part of it, and i think my comments should be kind of understood or kind of sifted through as a person who was in a meeting with the president just yesterday. i hope that he addresses the existential crisis that we face as a country, that donald trump and his maga republican support constitute an existential threat to the country, and this goes beyond policy, is at the heart of it, to my mind, alicia is the kind of cultural question of who we take ourselves to be, and
s.w.a.t. team was showing up at his house as a response to the s.w.a.t.ing call and a man in wichita, kansas was shot by the responding police officer. he shot the homeowner mistakenly during a s.w.a.t. response. with regard to the fact that our society is in a place right now where you think you should do if you would disagree with someone politically or their opinion about something is to turn to violence and violent threats, not only are you a coward, but you re really just a sheep that s responding to the trump maga cult call to think that everybody who doesn t think like you is evil, and that you can do this to them and their family and there are consequences as we ve learned in the case of congressman eric swalwell. there is nothing patriotic about threatening to kill a u.s. congressman and his kids because you disagree with them. right. david jolly, in a statement last night congressman jolly said much the same, quote, there is
