>> Wait, you're not allowed to fund crime, of course. I mean, if I do business with Iran,
I go to jail. But we have domestic terrorism on a greater scale than we've had in my lifetime,
50 years. And the funders of this have not been exposed by the federal government, and
they haven't been punished.
And I'm confused as to why. >> Again, I would say that, again, the Department
of Justice who has the lead in all of those investigations are certainly moving as quickly
as possible. Again, it's something that I talked with the attorney general about almost
on a weekly basis. >> That was acting secretary, DHS secretary,
Chad Wolf speaking to Tucker Carlson about the possibility of jailing political opponents.
Now I'm not talking about candidates. I'm talking about members, leadership within the
Black Lives Matter movement. You heard clearly, Tucker Carlson referring to them as domestic
terrorists when in fact this country is currently dealing with right-wing terrorist organizations
that have carried out multiple acts of violence. But this is apparently an idea that the DOJ
is looking into something that the Department of Homeland Security is considering.
And there are more details in the next exchange that you're about to watch. Here's Tucker
Carlson, elaborating along with Chad Wolf. >> Why haven't we seen the leaders of Antifa
and BLM arrested, and charged for conspiracy under say Rico, like the heads of the mafia
families work? >> Well, it's just something I've talked to
the AG personally about, and I know that they are working on it.
Look, we've seen about 300 arrests across this country regarding civil one arrest, and
protesting, violent protesting, I would say. Criminal protesting, criminal rioting, occur
about 300 arrests, about a third of those or 100 of those arrests have been in Portland
specifically. And I know the Department of Justice has charged about 74 or 75 individuals
there in Portland with different federal crimes.
And we'll continue to see how those investigations are going. Department of Justice is also targeting
and investigating the head of these organizations. The individuals that are paying for these
individuals to move across the country. What we know Tucker is that we have seen groups
and individuals move from Portland to other parts of the country.
>> Right. >> We had about 175 arrests in Kenosha, almost
100 of them were from out of state. So we know they're moving around. We've seen them
in DC, in Sacramento and elsewhere, they're organized. We've seen similar tactics being
used from Portland and other cities across the country as well.
So we know that there's organization. I know the Department of Justice is also looking
at that as well. >> Two quick things before I go to you. Cenk,
number one, Antifa does not have leadership. It is not an organized group of people. And
there's no evidence indicating that Antifa poses any type of national security risk in
the United States.
Second thing I wanted to bring up was this, woo, scary notion of people traveling from
one state to the next. Keep in mind that the armed militia member, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse
traveled from Illinois to Wisconsin. Crossed state lines twice with an illegal weapon.
Just a little point that I wanted to make before going to you, Cenk, so please take
it away.
>> Yeah, so look, fascism has begun. So I use of course, Sandra Day O'Connor on this
long time. And during the Bush administration she said, about some of the directions that
the Bush administration was taking towards authoritarian government and fascism. She
said, let us avoid these beginning so we can avoid those ends, it was a great quote by
Sandra Day O'Connor.
We are now at the ends, we're not at the beginnings. And so when you have the head of Department
of Homeland Security saying yeah, I'm talking to the attorney general about arresting our
people protesting against us, and rounding up our political enemies. But that's nothing,
nothing but fascism.
So let's look at the facts. So if they're concerned about people crossing lines and
doing in an organized way, and causing violence. And it's 100% right, it's Kyle Rittenhouse,
and now his lawyer is arguing that he was part of a well regulated militia. So that's
one of his legal arguments right now.
So if that's the case, he is part of a well regulated group. He crossed the state line
and he killed two people. All these racists and everyone who makes the Kyle Rittenhouse
defense is a racist. Says, my God, the poor guy is attacked by a skateboard, the skateboard
is so dangerous.
Of course he had to murder that guy. Of course he had to show up in the middle of a protest,
waving a gun around until someone agitated. I mean, he could shoot them to death. Of course
he had to do all that but what they never tell you is, how about the first guy he shot?
Now those are super murky. We saw it in the video, but he seems to shoot a guy in the
head, and then people chased him. Stone cold murder is what it looks like, and those are
the charges against them. And they say, no, do not investigate the murderer.
Investigate the people that haven't killed anyone. And find their leaders who are organizing
protests, which is the most American thing you can do. And then you notice he switched
in the middle there, Chad Wolf went from like these illegal protests, we're not gonna have
these protests. Right, right, right, I'm supposed to call them riots.
Illegal rioting, that's what I meant, right? And so do you have any evidence that anyone
has organized anything illegal? Nope, not one shred of evidence. Do you have dead people
on the ground who are left-wing? Yes, I do. I don't care about them. I'm calling that
self defense.
But I but I'm going to politically say all the murders done by the right-wing are A-OK
and all self defense. There's almost now in Portland there might be for the first time
ever, a left-winger who attacked a right-winger. But they said all this before that too and
they're like, but the left-wing not killing people.
I don't care, I'm gonna arrest their leaders. That's what fascism looks like. But we had
a poll on it through tyt.com/polls cuz there's not half measures, okay? This is real. This
is not a dress rehearsal and they're not gearing up to do it 20 years later. Trump wins, and
it's tyt.com/polls/fascism.
It's begun. It has absolutely begun, and I need people to understand that. I'm curious
if you guys agree. That's why we're doing a poll. And the media, I still I think at
this late date, even though with their issues with Trump, don't get it. He's gonna round
up everyone if he wins, our democracy is in absolute peril.
>> So the shooting that happened in Portland with someone who identified as on the left,
that was condemned, right? So, but we're dealing with an asymmetrical situation where there
is many cases of right-wing extremists carrying out acts of violence, literally murdering
people. And Donald Trump in the right-wing, give them a wink and a nod, and it's gotten
to the point where Donald Trump is also defending them.
And excusing the violence perpetrated by the right. And then on the left, I mean, of course,
of course, murder is not okay, violence is not okay. Those types of actions get condemned.
But again, I want to reiterate, it's an asymmetrical situation where one side will acknowledge
the consequences and the horrible nature of violence.
While the other tries to justify it over and over again if it's done by their side. So
lets talk about terrorism in this country, extremism in this country because this has
been an ongoing issue. This was actually an issue that was brought to the Department of
Homeland Security's attention back in 2009.
And after conservatives were crying about it, Obama decided to do away with a small
group of DHS officials who are tasked with actually doing something about right-wing
extremism in the country. But the situation has snowballed into what we're experiencing
now. And I just wanna share specific examples of right wing extremist groups in this country
who carried out acts of violence beginning with the Trump administration.
Okay, let's start off with the video that was published by the Washington Post in 2017,
and then I'll fill in the rest for you guys. Let's take a look.
>> James Alex Fields Jr has been charged with second degree murder after allegedly ramming
his car into a crowd of counter protesters at the white nationalist rally in Virginia.
Killing one woman and injuring at least a dozen. Adam W Perrington has been charged
with killing one Indian man and injuring two other people after he opened fire in Kansas
bar. James H Jackson admitted that he traveled to New York to target and kill black men.
He fatally stabbed one man with a sword before being arrested by authorities.
And Jeremy Joseph Christian fatally stabbed two men on a Portland train after shouting
anti Muslim hate speech. Those are just some of the most visible incidents already under
investigation as hate crimes in 2017. >> All right, so that was 2017. Let's take
a look at what happened with right-wing extremist groups and their violence in 2018.
January 10th of 2018, neo-Nazi terrorist group, Atomwaffen charged for murdering an openly
gay and Jewish individual, young man, Blaze Bernstein is what his name. October 24th,
2018, two black men are shot and killed at a Kroger in Jeffersontown, Kentucky. Shooter
was indicted for three hate crimes, shooting was found to be motivated by racism.
October 27th, 2018, Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, 11 killed, seven injured. November 2nd, 2018,
Tallahassee yoga studio shooting. Self described Ansell went into a yoga studio and opened
fire, killing two and wounding six. April 27th, 2019, Poway synagogue shooting in California,
gunman killed or used, I should say, an AR-15, and started shooting inside the synagogue,
killed one.
Three people were injured. August 3rd, 2019, El Paso Walmart shooting. That was one of
the mass shootings that was inspired by Donald Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric. The Trump
supporter opened fire, killing 23 people. In May and June of this year, 2020, there
were two ambush style attacks against law enforcement, against cops i n California,
done by members of the so called Boogaloo boys.
Again, two cops were killed, three others were injured. We have a problem with right-wing
extremists in this country, right-wing radicals in this country. For having a conversation
about some mythical organized group on the left that's carrying out violence. Are we
really gonna let this conversation keep going in the way that it's going?
Are these feckless democrats in congress gonna continue stepping aside and allowing these
fascists to run with whatever narrative they'd like to run with. Because while we're pretending,
while we're allowing the Trump administration to pretend as if we have an issue with left-wing
terrorism in this country. People are literally getting murdered on a monthly basis by right-wing
extremists.
And by the way, these are just the big cases that made national headlines. I didn't even
list every specific case. You look at the FBI data, and it shows that the vast majority
of domestic terrorist attacks are carried out by right-wing extremist, right-wing radicals
in this country. But you'll never know it because everything is asymmetrical.
>> So that point, to that point, Anna. Look, I'm keeping it real, as part of the reason
why I helped start just democrats and start a rebellion pack, because I can't stand the
democratic weakness, it sickens me. So Obama came in a rush Limbaugh and Glenn back, and
pulled out a perfectly legitimate functioning part of the Department of Homeland Security
that was supposed to track these people.
He bowed down to them out of weakness. And it sickens me, and that is just representative
of all of the democratic leadership. So are they constantly talking about the right-wing
militia in this country that is constantly murdering people of color, gay people. And
if you notice, a ton of attacks were against Jewish Americans, cuz in their insane conspiracy
theories.
It's always at the end, the Jews control the world, let's go kill the Jews. So for God's
sake, are you ever gonna fight back democrats? Are you gonna, look, if a democrat wins, the
first thing they should do is no. We're reconstituting the part of the Department of Homeland Security
that tracks these criminals.
We're not gonna go after political opponents, that's insane. We're not fascist like the
Trump administration. But if someone is planning to commit crimes and they kill people, are
we going to try to, you're goddamn right we are, and we're gonna call it by its name.
But Biden won't do that.
I guarantee you that if he wins, he says we're gonna look forward, not backwards. We're gonna
heal the nation by pretending that right wing terrorism doesn't exist. I got news for you.
It exists, but it's so asymmetrical than instead of talking about the real problem, we're talking
about non existent left-wing terrorism.
And then going to actually round up political opponents of groups like Black Lives Matter
that had nothing to do with any of the violence. No, who cares? They oppose us politically.
Who cares, run them up. Look, brown shirts, and so that's one part of the problem. The
other thing is, guys, you got to understand why this Kyle Rittenhouse situation is so
dangerous, and why Chad Wolf, and Tucker Carlson are grade A fascist.
It's because this is part of a, look, go to any museum about the Holocaust. Yes, I said
it and it's definitely true, and go read what they did in the beginning and in the middle.
What they did was they would send out vigilantes, they would send out thugs to go intimidate
people, commit violence.
And honestly, back then they wind up doing far, far worse at the end, obviously. But
in the beginning, even the German Nazis were not as brazen to shoot people in the street
in the head and walk away, and go, you're the terrorist, right? They actually, they
did the right side fire, and they pretended it was their enemies, etc.
It was almost more sophisticated. Here it's just brazen, Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump
encouraged vigilantes, go out there and defend the streets, defend property. Kyle Rittenhouse
lived in Illinois, he didn't have anything to do with property in Wisconsin. He went
to go there to try to pick a fight with a weapon, full well knowing that guys like Tucker
Carlson, all of Fox News, and Donald Trump would have his back.
They called it self defense as soon as he murdered anyone. And it would send a message
to everyone else. If you go to a protest, they'll shoot you in the head and they'll
get away with it. Now, if that doesn't put a chill down your spine, you're not getting
it.
So, I can't believe this election is anywhere near close. I mean, look, compared to other
elections, it's not that close. Trump's losing by six to nine points was a gigantic loss,
but he should be 35 points. We have an actual racist demagogue fascist. And people like,
yeah, should vigilantes on the right be allowed to murder people in the streets?
And then we arrest the left-wing. We arrest the left-wing leaders that had nothing to
do with the violence, blame them for it, and call them terrorists. And 40% of this country
is okay with that. No, you know what that tells you, honestly, and it's really the most
frightening thing in the entire Trump administration.
40% of any country at any time is absolutely ready for fascism and happy to receive it,
including the United States
of America.
