Joe, and you i have been talking about this on a daily basis, surprising, fun, and, so far, successful. All right. Mika, that is my birthday present to you. Thank you. Can we stop. Yeah. Okay. Were going to the news now. Theres no one else to introduce. Its just us. Okay. Family at the table. Donald trump will not commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election. In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal sentinol, he repeated the lies. We were so shook that we have decided to go back in way deeper oh, this is a new one according to alex. Okay, this is the New York Times. When asked about this november, he said, quote, if everything is honest, ill gladly accept the results. I dont change on that. If its not, you have to fight for the right of the country. Milwaukee journal. Richard haass, people across the world look to the United States and have always looked up to the United States. Donald trump certainly changed that in many ways, but donald trump, as youve always said to me, it just shook our neighbors just like it shook us. Now, you have him once again, a guy who is the favorite in a lot of polls, saying, i will not accept the results of the election unless i win. Yesterday it was the time piece. Yes. I need to get it straight. Its the peaceful transfer of power. When the former president and the guy who beat him drive down the avenue, and you have a peaceful transfer of power, what a demonstration that is to the commitment of democracy, rule of law, to accepting the norm. Donald trump has done two things. One, he is essentially saying, i only support it if i win because there is no history of rigged elections, essentially. Second of all, the threat of Political Violence. That is out there. I mean, we have 57 days between election day and inauguration. Thats when january 6th happened last night, in the 2 1 2 month period. That is the precarious moment for our democracy. It not only distracts us, but imagine what our foes are going to think. If we have having a contested situation and we are literally having a return to violence, or imagine, joe, you have several governors or State Legislatures saying, we dont actually agree with that. Well send this set of electors to washington. Right. We could have that this time. Donny, thats the thing. The system did hold last time. The courts held last time. The State Legislatures held last time. But, you know, just like the time piece yesterday suggested, donald trump and people around him are figuring out how to subvert democracy if he doesnt win. Let me say that slowly. So his apologists who will write this in an oped laughing saying, oh, theyre saying donald trump is no, Donald Trumps own words say. They dont suggest, they say he will subvert democracy if he doesnt win, and if he does win, itll be worse. He will subvert democracy more. He will fire prosecutors who will not arrest his political opponents. He said it. He says what he is going to do. What he is going to do to your point, joe, is have the fcc report to him so hell be able to control shows like this. He wants the ftc to report to him. He wants the Insurrection Act to turn military troops on his own people. He wants to weaponize, as you said, the Department Justice to go after his enemies. He wants women on a register for abortion if he wins. Hold on. What you just said, somebody out in the trump sort of stratosphere will put on a website and say, look at Donny Deutsch freaking out, right . Thats their ploy, thats the lie. I will say, you know, i love the Wall Street Journal editorial page. I disagree with them a lot, but they will have people, like, writing opeds, that will take what you just said and lie to their readings. They let them lie to their readers and say, look at the media. Ive read more of this. The media are being is repeat his words. When we repeat his words, when i repeat his words as a conservative, and you found out this past week, im a conservative, like, live by the law. Whether its on College Campuses, at the border, or whether youre a president of the United States that lost an election, live by the law. Right . Im a conservative, right . Youre a liberal. Im not a liberal. A traditional liberal. Ouch. Now a moderate. Okay. Now called a moderate. I didnt say progressive. You are a traditional liberal. We just read the words on the page. We report it, but the trump right and the trump media will say, donny is losing his mind. They have trump derangement syndrome. I deal with it every day. I just use his words. I just talked about if he wins. If he loses, he will tell people to take to the streets with violence. Hes telling you. Hes telling us. If he wins, were in trouble. If he loses, were in trouble. Thats where were going next, to the comments following what he told Time Magazine, about whether he is concerned about violence stemming from the outcome of this years vote, especially if he doesnt win. He answered, quote, if we dont win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election. Rev, are you worried about violence . Every political person that loves this country would have said the answer to that, and look throughout history and say, no, im not worried about violence because im going to speak out against violence. My people will not be violent. We will accept the results of the election. Everybody says that. Donald trump is now saying, well, it depends. Saying maybe well be violent. Saying it depends, saying his reaction is based on whether its the a fair election. Who determines whats fair . He does. He is spelling out, i believe in an autocracy, i will decide if it is fair. I will decide how i will respond to violence. As someone running to be the Head Of State again, to say it depends, at this kind of instability, we cant afford to have it no matter who the candidates are. Can you imagine anywhere else in the world this would happen, we would be denouncing that person that is trying to be Head Of State . Here we have it right here, and were acting like this is a normal race, where you have one person in the race that could win. Right. Saying, if i determine its fair, its fair. If i dont, its not. And violence, it depends on what i say. This is not what this country is supposed to be about, and we shouldnt tolerate it. You know, jen, there is a stereotype of the trump voter that the media does. Oh, people are stumbling drunk out of their trailer park and, you know, Shooting Raccoons or Something Like that. No, its bankers. Its lawyers. Its people with advanced degrees. This is something Anne Applebaum brought out so masterfully in her book, the twilight of democracy. Which is, the elites make this possible. Think about all the billionaires that said, oh, ill never vote for donald trump. Now, its like, yeah, ill vote for donald trump. They know this. They read this. They read that donald trump says that theres going to be mass deportation. Hes going to force prosecutors to arrest political enemies. He is going to execute generals that dont follow his commands. He is able to use s. E. A. L. Team six to execute political opponents. He says, you cant arrest me for that. You can go down the list. He is going to be a dictator from day one. He is going to terminate the constitution. On and on, theyve heard all of this. They heard what he said to Time Magazine a couple of days ago. It is a dark, autocratic vision of america, and these people, these educated people with advanced degrees are the ones saying, yeah, ill support donald trump again. Thinking, oh, you know what . Maybe my investments will go, or maybe he wont tax me 3 . Not understanding that this is not just a threat to democracy, but this is a threat to capitalism. Right. I mean, thats the thing that makes me think maybe theyll reconsider if they continue to hear him they dont get that. They will not make the connection. They dont get how it could affect them negatively. They dont think itll affect business in the climate . They think but there are the 20 of people in republican primaries who still are not voting for him. There are the people that say they were worried about january 6th. The republicans against trump, those videos about people who voted for him twice but, because of january 6th, wont do it a third time. Keep doing the interviews, keep saying this, like proud boys, stand back and stand by. Look at the polls. I know, i know. A lot of Swing State Polls, talking about nevada, if youre talking about georgia, north carolina, theyre not even close. Heres trump in september of despite all this. 2020. September of 2020, take a look. Will you commit to making sure that there is a peaceful transferrell of power after the election . Well have to see what happens. You know that. Ive been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster. Okay. Chris christie said that donald trump started in the spring of 2020, started lying, going, you know, this election may be rigged. He could see in his mind he knew he was going to probably lose, and he started in spring of 2020 trying to find an excuse for losing to joe biden. Right, almost saying, if it is fair, its okay. By definition, if he loses, it cant be fair. If he wins, its fair. If he loses, its not. Why do people invest in this country . Why does our economy do well . Its the rule of law. You understand it is a safe place to invest. People can go to work. Consumers can consume. What Business Leaders are missing, how much is at stake. The comparative advantage of the United States and the economy depends on the rule of law being paramount. If we no longer have that, they are kidding themselves if they think they can flourish. Speaking of rule of law, before i get to this list put together by the reporter Eric Cordlessa on the report out yesterday from Time Magazine, well go live to ucla and the campus there. Police are moving these protesters out. There is an encampment. There are student protesters, we believe. There also may be Outside Agitators. Ill put that in quotes. Well monitor this and see how it pparently trying to break up the encampment which, i believe, was negotiations for several days now. This is happening at campuses across the country. This one is a little larger, a little bit more like columbia was before they dispersed it. We will monitor this situation and come back to it as necessary. Donny, what are your thoughts . As im watching this, two thoughts come to my head. First of all, id like to know where their parents are. I would like to know who they are. Who these people are. Hold on, can we back up first and ask who these people are . There are a lot of people who are not students. Yes. Theyre not students. By the way, when people email me, i try to read as many emails as i can, and i swear to god, the theme of so many are, joe, these are students. I believe the children are the future. Teach them well. I write back, thank you so much for watching the show. You mean the world to me. These are not all students. This is organized. It is across the nation. By the way, we all have students. We all know students. We have all talked to our students. These are not all students. Theyre Outside Agitators. Well find out. I want to put this against the backdrop of the vote yesterday, the antisemitism in congress. 320 ayes. 91 people voted against the simple bill to protect against antisemitism. That is one in four. The same numbers that the adl said have antisemitic belief. Congress is representative of americans. Rev . I think that what is very, very alarming to me, who has been involved in civil rights and civil by the way, you walk the walk. You talk the talk. I remember in 2001, puerto rico, something you believed in. It was civil disobedience. The greatest tradition of Martin Luther king. Yes, you broke the law to make a bigger point. You got sent to jail. Guess what . You werent saying, i want my meal plan. You said, this is worth the fight. This is worth the sacrifice. I want my meal plan. Guess what . You and others who protested, you changed american policy. We were protesting the navy bombing, and we were able to stop it. I did 90 days in jail. You came out, by the way, thinner, too, my man. I went on a diet. That was the beginning. I went on a fast. But anytime what you are protesting for becomes secondary to what you are doing, then youre really not protesting for it. You, in many ways, dramatize. What we did, what i did later in other situations, was to bring attention to a cause, not become the cause. Right. What is troubling me about a lot of this is theyve become the cause. Its about them. It is not about pushing the cause. They need to ask themselves, if they were sincere, are you really focusing on whats going
