Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and a former Trump
0:05
official has just given a horrible, horrible, well, prediction about what could happen with
0:12
the Trump trials, and it could be deadly. Before we get started, please remember to like, comment, share, and subscribe

So there was a man on CNN speaking to Jim Acosta, and he worked, he was the chief of
0:36
Trump's Homeland Security Bureau when he was in the Trump administration, but when he was
0:42
in the administration, he was writing letters to newspapers under the name Anonymous, warning
0:47
about the dangers of a Trump presidency, and just basically attacking Trump every chance
0:51
he got while he kept a position in the administration and kept collecting his paycheck
0:57
Now he was on CNN, and he said some really horrible things about what could happen with
1:02
all the rhetoric that's surrounding the Trump trials, but he left out some important information
1:08
that I think is pretty pertinent. But first, let's take a look at what he said
1:12
Online threats against grand jurors who voted this week to indict former President Donald
1:16
Trump in Fulton County, Georgia. Some jurors have had their addresses, phone numbers, and social media accounts shared
1:22
on the internet after their names were made public in the 98-page indictment
1:26
Joining us now to talk about this and other aspects of the Trump case is Miles Taylor
1:31
He's the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration
1:35
the author of the new book, Blowback, a warning to save democracy from the next Trump, and
1:40
I suppose there's the current Trump as well to talk about. You know, he's made these inflammatory comments about the judge, about the special counsel
1:50
and so on in these cases. Now, if he worked in his administration, how do you think this is going to play out
1:55
Because I mean, I've talked to, I was talking with John Dean about this last night
2:00
It's going to be difficult to constrain him, and it seems as though he thinks he can just
2:04
cross the line and nothing's going to happen based on past experience. Genuinely, Jim, I've been living inside of this data about political threats and political
2:12
intimidation, and I worry legitimately that people are going to die. And we are seeing the threat of political assassination in this country is off the
2:22
charts, and the experts I talk to compare it to only one thing, the 1960s, and we of
2:27
course saw political violence. We saw political assassination in the 1960s. God forbid that happens, but the data supports that there is that danger
2:34
Look, we just saw the president of the United States threatened with an assassination plot
2:39
We saw on January 6th the vice president of the United States threatened with death
2:42
We saw Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, her home broken into. That's the presidential line of succession, not to mention the senior members of Congress
2:49
the Supreme Court justices who've been threatened with death, the governor of Michigan who had
2:53
an assassination plot, and this array of state and local election officials
2:57
So I do worry about it, and we saw after his home was raided a year ago, a man went to
3:02
the FBI field office in Ohio and shot it up. The judge here in D.C. after he was charged has been threatened with assassination, and
3:09
of course now the jurors in Georgia in the case after he was indicted have been doxed
3:14
and threatened. So I do worry we are seeing the light blinking red
3:18
Now all of that sounds really terrifying, right? But here's the thing
3:21
He left out James Hodgkinson, who shot up a congressional baseball game in 2019, seriously
3:28
injuring Representative Steve Scalise and others, and he was a Bernie Sanders supporter
3:33
He failed to mention that the Supreme Court justices who were threatened, well, they're
3:37
conservative Supreme Court justices. He failed to mention all the threats against Trump and Trump's children and Trump's supporters
3:45
that happen all the time. Where are those threats? No, he only wanted to focus on some fringe conservatives who are crazy by any standards
3:56
threatening people they perceive to be enemies. Look, if you're threatening people because of politics, you're already crazy, and it
4:06
doesn't take a lot to push you over the edge. That doesn't mean people can't speak because there might be some crazy person out there
4:14
Because we all speak. We speak on social media, we speak on Facebook, we speak on YouTube, we speak everywhere
4:22
And if we have to worry that one word we say might cause some wacko to go do something
4:29
horrible, well then that really stifles free speech, doesn't it? And maybe that's what they want to do, really
4:35
Maybe they want Trump to just not defend himself. Maybe they want to blame him for everything
4:39
That would be a switch, right? That'd be new. Folks, let me know what you think about this in the comments
4:45
Who's really in danger here? Who's really getting the most threats? I want to know in the comments
4:49
