what really made me want to come of the fact that, you know, i had supported trump all that time. i did believe, you know, that the election was being stolen and trump asked us to come. he personally asked for us to come to d.c. that day. i thought for everything he s done for us, if this is the only thing he s going to ask of me, i ll do it. the president got everybody riled up, told everybody to head on down. so we basically were just following what he said. hi, everyone. it s 5:00 in new york. we know this now, right? it s not a theory, it s not a left-leaning viewpoint, it s in the record. history now shows that when donald trump broadcasts to his supporters that he has been wronged and tells them to defend him, they do just that. they listen. command and control. january 6th, 2021, thousands of trump supporters descended on washington, d.c. because he told
that lots of national security folks had about trump, including some people that talked about rupert and others over the course of the presidency, they were never answered. now he s been charged under the espionage. if he is, i think i know what you are going to say. why isn t that, you know, now a verb and a threat, everything all his opponents from the white house are saying today. he is definitely a threat, major danger to our national security. he has been for many years and will continue to be. which is why i just kind it so, so disheartening and it makes me angry when i hear people like lindsey graham make excuses and apologies for donald trump. those are the words of a spineless coward, quite frankly, who is frightened by donald trump and frightened by those individuals that still claim this image of donald trump as being this very strong leader, which he is not.
about. this is a country club in florida. i have no idea who had access to it. that s not secure, right? that s absolutely right. that s not secure. you know, an open and shut case against any claims that the documents weren t in danger made by trump s criminal defense counsel, where do we begin to imagine what was possible? and do you understand why the first chunk of time when it is just the national archives trying unsuccessfully to get the documents, does that make more or less sense to you now that you see just how specifically dangerous these documents were in trump s possession? well, i think the national archives probably didn t realize and know what documents may have been out there. they realize it is somewhere missing from the records. but at these two facilities there were hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals who were staff or caterers or members or guests of donald trump or others that had pretty
but you can also provide support to people for doing their jobs and to point out the positive contributions that these people make to our security and well being. but we re in a very volatile period. it feels like everything is building to a head before this election. it s hard to imagine trump coming back in four years. i think we have to tend to what is happening underneath the surface of all these politics and make sure we re positioning ourselves to come out stronger because the loss of elections have not gone this way for trump, this has not been a winning play book. the more the people deliver that message at the ballot box and the more we stand by the kinds of people that allow for to us have the freedom and well being we had in this country, the better chance we have of emerging on the other end as a stronger, more resilient company. live from miami, thank you all so much for spending time with us on this story today. we are grateful. when we come back, why those
federal government, unlike the new york case, you re playing into the same forces that go all the way back to waco, the fbi, the government overreach, conspiracy theories. trump is tapping into that and that is the kind of thing that radicalized individuals to violence and the guardrails around that could be credible people, instead of them creating guardrails, they re creating a permission structure for that violence. the other thing that worries me, nicole, is the existentialism for trump. if he doesn t win election, he could be looking at prison for a long time for any one of these crimes he s committed. it s one thing when you re winning but when you re losing and you feel you can t achieve your objectives through the normal political process, you might be tempted to turn to violence. that s something we ve seen all over the world, not just the united states. so the conditions are set.
