Trump Won't Rule Out Insurrection Act, Biggest Attack Yet

0:00Ask whether he'd rule out declaring a state of emergency before the midterms. Donald Trump said quote, I don't rule anything out or in. Asked about the insurrection act, I could use it. That's from a brand new time magazine interview and it's not even the wildest thing in it. We learned Trump spent hours asking Elon Musk chat about Grock about invading Venezuela before he did it, realizing that Grock is quote a genius to him. His Justice Department's investigating whether or not Richard Nixon was treated unfairly whether Watergate was a hoax. And well, so much more. I also sat down today with none other than Andrew Nixon who's running for Senate and Florida Democratic Canada for Senate Florida. And she drops some big news about the National Democratic Party investing in her race. If you can, as always support this work subscribe today like comment share a lot of you have asked what Aaron I've seen so many people talk about how these taxpayer funds are going on MS now CNN and elsewhere. Well, here is the thing when you watch the partners perspective, you never have to worry about seeing taxpayer funded ads by this White House. We will not do that.

1:03I don't take money from big corporations. I don't take money from this White House. I just I rely on you. So if you can subscribe support this work and let's talk about Trump's time magazine today. Just 56 time cover a record and it was combative from start to finish. Let's start with the part that should worry everyone. Five weeks before the midterms time asked Trump if he would rule out declaring a state of emergency before election day his answer. I don't rule anything in or out. Then he was asked whether they meant the insurrection act and he said I could use it asked about sending ICE agents to polling places he said haven't thought of it. No, not no, not of course not haven't thought of it. On Iran, he chose to extend the war passes original timeline. And when asked about earlier threats to annihilate Iran, he said, yeah, I would do that. It's possible. He floated the US government taking a stake in open AI or inthropic. Then there's the Kennedy Center. As whether he promised not to demolish without congressional approval Trump said I'm not committing to anything. We're going to see how plays out in court calling it in terrible terrible shape saying only he can save it.

2:07On part and Trump said he preemptively pardon his own staff to protect them from future investigations. And then when reporters asked him about building his about his building projects. He snapped back saying you haven't shown me one. We're asking one positive f in question. Well, because the renovations dominated this interview, Trump called the White House a disgusting mess before he arrived. He bragged about getting Lockheed Martin to pay for nearly $10 million. He said, we're going to see how our helipad defended his ballroom. And here is the strangest part. He claimed that secret service. Hold him, quote, sir, we think the Oval Office should be taken down and will build a new one. Trump says he responded. My ass, you can't build a new one, but he is asking Susie Wiles, the chief of staff has been for six months, whether they can make the Oval Office a federal landmark, which would conveniently protect all the gold he's put on the walls, only problem. And it's already a national historic landmark and it's exempt from preservation law. A preservation lawyer told the Washington Post the idea is legally meaningless.

3:07Now buried in the Times reporting is an anecdote. I do need you to hear about. It's about Elon Musk's chatbot and Groc. So apparently Donald Trump has been relying on Groc from making real world decisions that impact people's lives, including the people of Venezuela. Trump has been asking Groc about whether or not to invade Venezuela since returning to office Trump has marveled at AI's capabilities is increasingly in throw to the tech executives, courting him in December, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting from spend hours asking Groc musks AI chatbot questions about his presidency and legacy. According to an official present at the time Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuela and boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the US. He asked Groc how Venezuela's would react if the US captured Maduro. And according to the official present the chatbot responded that Maduro was repressive unpopular and Venezuela's would celebrate. That's what ended up happening and while now Trump thinks Groc is quote, ingenious.

4:12Tonight is a big rally for the president. I want to I want you to hear how voters think of the president by dispute with Angie Nixon. She dropped some big news to stick around for that. Take a listen to what voters are saying about the president outside of the biggest issues for you for this election. I haven't really got into it. So I don't really have a comment on that. When people you know are talking about gas prices gas prices gas prices. Do you think this election is about a bigger, a bigger I don't know. When people are talking about gas prices and complaining what do you want to say to them? I just want to tell them just to write it out. He's going to fix it. Believe in him. Stand strong and we will be OK. So it's one of those things where if Trump doesn't get his Congress in the midterms a really strong showing. We're going to be in trouble. We're going to be in deep trouble. Our gas prices were higher when Obama was president. Our gas prices were higher during Biden.

5:19Another thing I have a 15 year old grandson. I don't want war in this country. My grandson is at an age in four years. He can be sent overseas. And if he chooses that I'll be very proud of him. But all the abortion. It's nothing. It's evil. And that's one thing that Trump stands for is as Christians. We're being killed everywhere. We don't have anybody to stand up for Christians anymore. I'll pay. So when I'm here, I want to see two people Trump and Jesus. Trump and Jesus. So that's the latest and it comes on the day that we learn that Florida is actually back in play. Democrats are actually exceeding voters registration over Republicans for the first time in 68 months, which is pretty crazy. I spoke with Angie Nixon, who's running for that Senate. See, take a listen, subscribe, support this work. Angie Nixon right here. Angie Nixon.

6:28So excited to have you back. I got to ask you're in the car. You're on the road. We have 30 plus days or so until the election. How are you feeling right now? You know, I am exhausted, but I am excited. So doubly doubly to be out and the swing of things, talking to voters all across the state. It's been great. Folks are excited about this race. They realize that we have the opportunity to win this thing. The polls are looking good. And my opponent is running scared. She's afraid to debate me. She's canceling news interview. Literally, that's what they've told me. And so, you know, I'm just I'm out here working hard. This is probably the hardest race she has ever had to run, but she's going to lose it. So it doesn't matter. How many volunteers does your campaign have right now? Oh my gosh. So on the books we have over 100,000 volunteers and activated. We have tens of thousands and tens of thousands that are out knocking doors, making phone calls sending text messages.

7:35And also, you know, put impression on people to try to donate to the campaign. And you talk about donations. There was some online reporting that the DSCC, some of these big money groups haven't spent in Florida. We're in spending for your campaign. Is that still the case? Have things changed? Yeah. So I am excited to announce that I had a very good conversation with Senator Schumer with leader Schumer. I've also had some great conversations and interactions with Senator Gillibrand. Senator Gillibrand actually held a fundraiser for me today. Meet in greet with some donors and we are excited about a potential investment here in the state of Florida. And so things are moving in the right direction. And I'm super excited about what's to come. We have the full support, though, of Senator Schumer. He is fully engaged and supportive of our race. And I think that's really good to hear. And I think a lot of people will be excited to hear that. I do got to ask you, JD Vance today was in Florida. He said, quote, when Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the response to say is, then get the hell out of here. You don't belong in America. What's your response?

8:42Well, first of all, I'm not going to couch. I'm not going to couch my words. And I don't go high when they go low, I get loud. And I want to be very loud and clear about this. It is very disrespectful and disingenuous for JD Vance to talk about the fact that I don't belong here when my family and my ancestors helped build this country. They helped build the building that he often works. Well, that he doesn't do any working over in Washington DC. And so I want him to know that I am excited about the opportunity to build a new vision for this country. I am excited about the opportunity to push back against him. He's going to have to see me when I go to Washington. And I'm looking forward to him, Ashley Moody and Donald Trump, call him a senator, come November 3rd. I want to also ask, I don't know if you saw the news today, but for the first time in I believe was 68 months,

9:43yes, yes, Republicans, yes, yes, yes, Republicans, yes, yes, and in the month of September, what's your reaction to that? That to me is very interesting and pretty shocking. You know, it's not shocking to me. We've been on the ground doing the work. There's a lot of folks. We have been, even as our campaign, we have been pushing people to register as Democrats. We are letting them know that we are the big team. It's not about three letters. It's not about what organization you're a part of. If you have the basic pillars in your organization, in regards to wanting to ensure that people have access to quality health care, access to affordable housing, fully funded public schools, then you are a part. You should join us under this big tent of the Democratic brand so that we can fight for hardworking everyday people. So we're going to see a lot more, a lot more Democrats come our way. People are sick and fed up with what is happening, especially when you have someone like Ashley Moody who's lying cheating, stole $10 million from sick kids, use that money to go to a political slush fund. And then, you know, had, Ron DeSantis had the audacity to reward her with this US Senate seat.

10:52And then she's like avoiding having conversations with people, does not have town hall meetings. She's just disrespectful. And people are tired of the disrespect. And they're ready for someone who's going to put them first. And that would be me. You made some headlines recently on a couple of things. First, you said you wanted to build a data center in Mar-a-Lago. Do you still want to do that? So I didn't say I wanted to build a data center in Mar-a-Lago. I said, if any data centers were going to be built in the state of Florida, they need to go to Mar-a-Lago. And, you know, I mean, let him pay for it. Let them have negative impacts on his golf course out there. And so, building on Mar-a-Lago. And I guess the other thing is that you made some headlines on recently is, Ashley Moody has been attacking you saying that you wanted to abolish police and defund the police and abolish prisons. You responded by saying, why would you want to do that? Why would I want to do that when I want her in jail?

11:52Is that still the case? That is definitely still the case. I don't want to defund police officers. I don't want to abolish prisons. I want her husband to arrest her for stilling $10 million. Ashley Moody's husband, who's a police officer, a law enforcement officer, needs to arrest her for stilling $10 million. She needs to be locked up in the prison that she's claiming wrongfully and lying saying that I want to abolish those. No, of course not. She needs to be locked up. Angie Nixon, we got a month to go, what do you need? What can people do to support your campaign if they want to do it? Yeah, what folks should do is we need volunteers and phone bankers and door knockers and people going out to events passing out our campaign literature. They should go to Angie Nixon.com. They should also make a donation to our campaign at Angie Nixon.com. I'm super excited about everything that we have going right now. Again, we are neck and neck in the polls.

12:54In some internal polling numbers, it has us a head. We just need to stick it out. We want folks to literally, there's people honking the horn at us waving. We're on, what are we on? I 95. This is the energy we want to see. We're excited. We're going to witness that, Aaron. Hey, folks, thanks so much for watching.
