Mundane at Reagan National airport. This is cnn march 18, right now on cnn this morning now, if i dont get elected, its going to be a bloodbath lets donald trump warning the nation about what will happen if he loses another election. Plus were not a Banana Republic israels Prime Minister fighting back against calls from the United States for new elections and americas top diplomat visiting the Korean Peninsula at the same time, king john launches a new round, of Ballistic Missiles all right, at 06 00 a. M. Here in washington, heres a live look at miami, florida for a little bit of pfk1. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Wonderful to have you on this monday morning. Another trumps speech, another set of questions about what exactly did the former president mean when he said something dark and foreboding were going to put a 100 tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And your dr. To be able to sell those guys. If i get elected now, if i dont get elected, its going to be a bloodbath for the whole thats gonna be the least of it. Its going to be a bloodbath for the conscience so thats the quote. If i dont get elected, its going to be a bloodbath. His defenders quick to underscore the remark came as he discussed the Auto Industry with regard to the auto workers that he was talking to. He is showing them or hes telling them what has been an economic downturn for them . It wasnt the only potentially inflammatory thing. Trump said this weekend if i had prisons that were teeming with ms 13 and all sorts of people that theyve got to take care of for the next 50 years, right . Young people that are in jail for years, if you call him people, i dont know if you call them people in some cases not people in my opinion. These are animals. Okay. Again, republicans trying to explain those remarks about how some migrants are not people no say first, he was speaking about the possibility of criminals been among the immigrants. And those are the people he was saying may not be people if you will. Democrats out urging voters to take the former president at his word. Heres former House Speaker nancy pelosi we just have to win this election because hes even predicting a bloodbath. What does that mean . Hes going to exact a bloodbath . Theres something wrong here all right. Lets bring in our panel, david from staff writer for the atlantic, cnn contributor, lulu garcianavarro, and jason osborne, former senior Communication Strategies for the 2016 Ben Ben Carson campaign. Thank you all for being here this morning david, im going to let you go first here. The weekend, sort of backandforth around this really seem to center on a lot of the president s defenders saying, look, he was being very specific. It was about the Auto Industry. This is all being mischaracterized. I want to just play the whole clip just so that no one can accuse us of not showing the entirety of what the president said about this. Its a little bit the longer version than what we just showed. Lets watch it and then i would like your reaction bunch. If youre listening president xi and you and i are friends, but he understands the way i deal. Those big monster Car Manufacturing Plants that youre building in mexico right now . And you think youre going to get that, youre going to not hire americans and youre going to sell the cars us now. Were going to put a 100 tariff on every single car that comes across the line. And youre not going to be able to sell those guys. If i get elected now, if i dont get elected, its going to be a bloodbath for the whole thats gonna be the least of it. Its going to be a bloodbath for the country thatll be the least of it. But theyre not going to sell those cars whats, he doing here . Well, trumps brain is a little bit like putting things swap around in. Dont cohere and any precise shape. But i looked it up in the past 12 months, passenger, former President Trump has threatened violence in one form or another, at least five times that i can count on his trip social with images of him putting a baseball bat at the head of the new york da, hes threatened death and destruction if hes not elected. So when, if this had come out of the blue, you might say, okay, the Pudding Brain has, has spat out something formless in the context of saying were going to blow up the us, mexico Free Trade Agreement then massively raised the price of cars for american consumers. He said something else. But five times, this is this would be the sixth incident of a call for violence in the past year. So i think its at that point youve got to say, if you cant predicting death and destruction, if you lose, if youre saying theres going to be bethlehem, if you lose, if you invite your supporters to go after the new York Attorney general when you then say and therell be a bloodbath of i lose, you lose the benefit of the doubt because theres a pattern here that goes back a year. I think one of the things that to me is really interesting about this entire speech was that he started it by loading the january 6. Lets show that. Yeah. Lets play that. An were going to pick up where we left off. Okay . Ladies, in june please rise for the horribly and unfairly treated. January 6 hostages do you see the spirit from the hostages and thats what they are as hostages. Theyve been treated terribly, unbelievable patriots and they were unbelievable patriots and our criminals who were attacked Police Officers on their way into the capital can precisely. And so this was a violent insurrection and so what hes doing there is setting the stage. Hes starting his Campaign Rally there by saying hey, these people didnt actually do what they did. They were patriots. They are you know, political, politically persecuted. And it sets the stage for this normalization of violence. And so when he uses words like blood, bloodbath, talking about the car industry, already, the people who are listening to him are primed to understand dan, that hes really talking about something else. Well, and this is kind of part of it too. I mean, in the lead up to january 6, there were theres plenty of clues right along the way that this is what he was asking people to do because there was an audience that was hearing him in a certain way jumping off for your own, your thoughts here. If you think these folks are on the wrong track but im interested in that piece of it as well. Well, im not going to sit here and defend you know, like some of the other republicans that have been on here defend. I know what he was referring to. I would say that this isnt unusual for trump to kind of go off cuff. The excuse that the teleprompter was moving around and shaking around. I mean, what trump does because it these things as he kind of engages the Audience Reaction and i think if hes focusing on certain parts of the audience and the starting to lose them. Theyre not understanding what hes saying there waiting for that red meat thing, he throws something out there. Its careless and its reckless, right . But i dont necessarily feel that theres a halftruth to everything that he says enough so that it reinvigorates what hes thinking is the base, right . And youre hoping that at some point he switches to a general election strategy. But in the back of his mind, he feels like these rallies are boring if he focuses on Policy Discussions as, et cetera. So the january 6 thing, i havent honestly no idea what thats about. I cant sit here and say that thats a great thing to Start Talking about. Hes already got those folks in his camp. Move on and try and add voters that you lost in 2020. And then the millions of new voters that he needs to go get an order to defeat bite i shot the sheriff, bespoke the title of a hit song from the 1970s, and its also confession of a crime. So if somebody says at a big rally, i shot the sheriff. You have question, are you talking about the song . Are you talking about the confession of the crime . If youve been indicted for shooting the sheriff already then when you say no, i was just referring to the song if the threat of violence is not hypothetical, we had the violence of trump as lu said prop was defending the people committed the violence same weekend, by the way, he called for the jailing of liz cheney, the person who led the investigation havent even gotten to that. So you have to say, i know its a Pudding Brand hey, i know things sort of belt jailed in these weird random things. I no one thought doesnt connect to another in his mind and i know hes free associating and panicking and getting bored. But the fact is we are in the aftermath of the end of the tradition of the peaceful transfer of power in the United States. We had a violent transfer of power in 2020, the clock resets every the other democracy in the world now has a longer tradition of the peaceful transfer of power than the United States, including the newest ones thats the context in which donald trump is talking about blood baths and death and destruction and bethlehem to use the quotes i am asking, i think the thing thats really sobering to me as someone whos spent most of their career in conflicts covering places in turmoil with a lot of political polarization. Is that language is the gateway drug often to action. And so when we hear him dehumanizing migrants when we hear him trouble about people you dont have to treat them they dont have to treat them like people. And we know hes already promised that if he gets another term, he is going to do mass deportations. Hes going, we might see another version of when there was the separation of families. I mean, if you will recall during that period, there was the sound of crying children in sort of cages. It on the border. And he has already done that. He is promising to do it again. And if we see these people as animal, animals, if we see these people as criminals, then of course, that means that when it comes to another term of trump he will be able to say, well, it doesnt matter what happens to these people. They are evil. And so thats why i think that language is important when we focus on language, were not just saying, hey, oh, another crazy thing that trump did. Its another putting brain. Its another thing that hes just trying to reinvigorate his base. Its actually something that matters because eventually it could lead to the action. Well, it is i mean, the one thing that i think is important not to lose sight of is that the normalization of rhetoric, of violence. I mean as david points out, there was actual violence been i was there on that day. Ive looked and watched some of these people through the windows come in breach obviously, commit crimes. And now essentially, the former president is rewriting history at the top of this rally in a way that is giving permission to his supporters to do things that are quite frankly quite different outside the norms of our, its the playbook, right . Change the norms id our panel is gonna come back. We are so much more to talk about up next. Trump says, were going to all find out soon. If you supports a national ban on abortion.

Donald trump is saying standby from an for an announcement about his stance on a federal abortion ban pretty soon im going to be making a decision and i would like to see if we could do that or all how i would like to see if we could make both sides happy cnns Alayna Treene joins me now, alayna, first of all, making both sides happy on this issue. Good luck what do you think hes actually going to do here . You know, its really interesting because this is something ive talked to his campaign at length about this issue and something theyve been avoiding theyve been purposely vague on this issue and havent taken a strong sans on a federal abortion and unlike some of his earlier republican primary challengers, because they recognize how politically potent this issue is and how really it doesnt really help republicans and its something you hear donald trump talk about a lot. Hes always thinking about the politics of this issue. Youve seen him tried to tow that line over the past several months of him saying, yes. Trying to cater to republicans that he was the one who helped get roe v. Wade overturned. But hes also been purposely vague because he recognizes that he thinks this issue as a political loser for republicans and hes very afraid of alienating a lot of key voters, particularly now that hes in a general Election Campaign mode. Yeah, for sure. Can just ask you, you were at the ohio rally over the weekend that weve been talking about. And what did you observe . What were your takeaways in terms of why we saw the speech we saw from him well, ohio was interesting because it was outside. We are in an airplane, an airport hangar, and there was like 30 plus mile per hour winds. And so donald trump, it was a very freewheeling rambling speech. And part of that was because i think he was having issues with his teleprompter. It was swaying in the wind and you could see that donald trump, he kept remarking on that saying hes unable to use and you saw make some of these more off the cuff remarks that he typically, even though he doesnt always use the teleprompter so heavily, it was definitely more noticeable in this beach. And look, i think donald trump, the dark rhetoric that we heard on saturday is exactly the type of rhetoric that yes, maybe his campaign doesnt always want him to be using, but hes going to continue to use throughout the general election. And part of that is its the same type of rhetoric we saw in 2016 that fear mongering, trying to put fear in the idea of voters jurors that if hes not reelected, the country will be far worse without them. Its the same thing that we saw him do effectively. When you first were in for the white house and hes trying to implement now as well. So its the curtain is down and were seeing whats really there. All right. Only in a train for us, alina, thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Coming up here. Did the Biden Campaign, ms a big opportunity in a key swingstate. Were going to ask one of the president s supporters, congressman dan kildee, plus icelands famous blue lagoon under an evacuation warning. Look at that after another volcanic eruption leaks lives.
