| If Trump gets elected, I'm sure a lot of people are going to go crazy enough to get away from the middle of the game. | |
| I feel like we're going to see another assassination. | |
| I'm like, yeah, people are going to go crazy enough to do what they did to the middle of the day. | |
| Assassination Day and everybody. | |
| Yeah, I have a feeling that if Trump is elected, we're going to see another assassination because there are enough people in this country that would like that. | |
| I feel like if he actually becomes president, it might be an issue with him being assassinated. | |
| With Trump getting assassinated? | |
| Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it. | |
| I'm sure a lot of people try to get him. | |
| What kind of rifle do you think would be best to use? | |
| Anything, anything that can kill him. | |
| So much aggression and so much violence and so much hatred. | |
| Fortunately, these are not usually gun-toters. | |
| These are usually liberals that don't like him. | |
| And they don't usually have guns. | |
| But I will say that I do fear that he's on trade. | |
| On the 29th of March this year, I produced a video called The Assassination of Donald Trump, in which I predicted that Donald Trump would be assassinated by either a conspiracy of business magnates or a left-wing radical. | |
| We have got zany, psychotic ideologues who are running around screaming that Donald Trump is the reincarnation of Hitler and he needs to be dealt with in whatever way possible. | |
| And I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so. | |
| British man arrested in Las Vegas tells police he wanted to kill Donald Trump. | |
| A British man has told investigators he wanted to kill Donald Trump after being arrested at a campaign rally for trying to grab an officer's gun. | |
| Court papers detail how Michael Sanford 19 approached a police officer at an event in Las Vegas on Saturday saying he wanted the Republican candidate's autograph. | |
| Sanford had then attempted to seize the sidearm of an officer by grabbing the holster and handle of the firearm with both hands. | |
| According to court documents, he had apparently earlier visited a gun range in order to learn how to shoot. | |
| After being arrested, Sanford said he targeted the officer's gun because it was in an unlocked position and would be the easiest way to gain access to a weapon at the rally where those attending had to go through metal detectors. | |
| When asked why he had tried to grab the gun from the officer, he said simply, to shoot and kill Trump. | |
| I should probably have stressed the order in which these assassination attempts would take place. | |
| A conspiracy of business magnates, such as the business plot, happens when it looks likely that the candidate who is going to undermine their businesses and ruin them is going to achieve office. | |
| I don't really think Donald Trump is actually going to win the election. | |
| I suspect people will probably end up defaulting to voting for Hillary Clinton because Trump is such a wild card. | |
| And so I don't think there's going to be any need to have him assassinated from that perspective. | |
| However, if you are a left-wing radical, the mere existence of Donald Trump is enough to need to assassinate Donald Trump. | |
| They have played him up to be the new Hitler. | |
| So you've heard from people too, like comparisons to Hitler? | |
| Yeah, I guess Trump has been like quoting some Hitler things and Mussolini and whatnot. | |
| It's just his whole way of thinking where, you know, especially when the whole Muslims, you know, his whole stance on Muslims and how he speaks a lot on that. | |
| Right. | |
| How it's very parallel with how Hitler was speaking about Jews. | |
| Right. | |
| When he was right into power. | |
| And the parallels aren't there. | |
| So it's kind of like, when he mentions stuff like that, you can't help. | |
| What is he going to do when the time comes that he does have that power? | |
| To be charitable, one could say that there are parallels of a populist coming to power on the back of discrimination against a religious group. | |
| That, combined with the fact that they are both nationalists, is the extent of the parallels between Hitler and Trump. | |
| Unlike Adolf Hitler, Trump has not written a book in which he demonises this religious group, and he is responding directly to overt terrorist attacks, not only on US soil, but in Europe and the rest of the world. | |
| He's not making up a grand universal Muslim conspiracy. | |
| He's not suggesting that all of the problems are because of Muslims. | |
| And you know, I'm really annoyed that I have to keep defending Trump. | |
| Don't get me wrong, I've said this before. | |
| I like Donald Trump in a sort of game show host kind of way, and I believe that he is necessary for the American political system. | |
| However, he is certainly not my first choice of candidate. | |
| But as it stands at the moment, the alternative is Hillary. | |
| So, anyway. | |
| And just while we're on the subject, I do find it highly ironic that terrorist groups such as Al-Shabaab are suddenly very progressive and very, very concerned with America's history of slavery and segregation when it comes to Donald Trump's rhetoric. | |
| Yesterday, America was a land of slavery, segregation, lynching, and Ku Klux Klan. | |
| And tomorrow, it will be a land of religious discrimination and concentration camps. | |
| So remember this. | |
| So listen. | |
| Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the f*** is going on. | |
| I'm not trying to be dismissive, but suggesting that that will end up equating to concentration camps and, I don't know, a holocaust of Muslims in the United States is f***ing far-fetched. | |
| It's especially ironic when Somali press described al-Shabaab as performing a slavery jihad, where children in a Quranic centre were chained to a desk against their will while they were brainwashed and told if they blew themselves up that they would enter paradise. | |
| So anyway, after digressing, no, Trump is not the new Hitler. | |
| Anyone who suggests that Trump is going to become Hitler is an idiot. | |
| Trump is not going to have the power to put Muslims in concentration camps. | |
| In fact, Trump appears to be backpedaling on the very idea of banning Muslims from the United States. | |
| He has gradually moved away from a blanket religious ban and towards a more nuanced policy targeting countries with a record of terrorism. | |
| His policy director said the best way to prevent continued radicalization from developing inside America is to suspend temporarily immigration from regions that have been a major source for terrorists and their supporters coming to the US. | |
| I am so sick of this narrative, and again, I don't want to defend Donald Trump, but it's just so inaccurate to say that he is going to be the new Hitler. | |
| Although since this video is about his attempted assassination, I suppose that is one more parallel Trump has with Hitler. | |
| Anyway, Trump's attempted assassin faces up to 30 years in prison. | |
| The US attorney said that the grand jury charged Dawkinborn Sanford with disrupting an official function and two firearms counts that, together, could sentence him up to 30 years in prison. | |
| Sanford apparently has a history of mental health problems. | |
| His parents have pleaded for him to be released, with Mother Lynn telling Federal Magistrate Judge George Foley that her son was treated for obsessive-compulsive disorder and anorexia when he was younger and once escaped to hospital in England. | |
| To be fair, they are minimum security though. | |
| His father, Paul Davy, said his son had a Spurgess syndrome and left school at the age of 15 because he couldn't cope with it all. | |
| Davy had previously raised concerns with the US authorities over his son's well-being. | |
| Sanford had travelled to the US over a year ago to be with his girlfriend, but had become increasingly hard to reach. | |
| Davie insisted that his son would never harm a fly, and even suggested Sanford may have been influenced or radicalised and put up to trying to kill Trump. | |
| He says he met an American girl. | |
| Later on, she moved back to the US with her parents and he got quite down and depressed about it all, so we paid for him to move out to America for a year. | |
| This was to get his life sorted out so he could be with this girl. | |
| So he got a flat in New Jersey, and for all we know, he's been with her. | |
| He's never been very good at communicating, and he's never been much interested in politics. | |
| Since he moved out there, it became slowly harder and harder to get in touch with him. | |
| He does Skype, but it's always with a white background behind him, so you don't know where he is. | |
| And a lady whose son went to primary school with him says, he was a very nice, normal child growing up. | |
| He had a few issues, but in fact, he was very intelligent. | |
| He didn't have to try very hard in class, he just picked things up very quickly. | |
| Davey asked him what had happened, and he would only say that if Trump was elected, it would change the world and that someone had to stand up for America. | |
| He says, I've never heard him talk like that before. | |
| I can't understand why he was so motivated and politicised that he thought that grabbing a gun from a policeman was a good idea. | |
| He also says after spending an hour talking to his son that he believes Michael was brainwashed. | |
| I think the people he met and was living with may know what motivated Michael. | |
| Did someone start feeding him information? | |
| Did they set him up for it? | |
| I really think he has been brainwashed. | |
| If you'll allow me to conjecture for just a minute, I would expect something like Michael Sanford's girlfriend was an SJW. | |
| She's very much concerned about Donald Trump's rise. | |
| I bet she votes for Bernie Sanders. | |
| I bet she's only just finished university or is still in it. | |
| And she undoubtedly thinks that white men are all privileged, all black people are oppressed. | |
| You know how it goes. | |
| This is a cult. | |
| Sanford found himself within it. | |
| It is making them into extremists by lying in the narrative they feed to the people who join it. | |
| We have seen all of this many times on this channel. | |
| The only thing I cannot be sure of is whether she is actually an SJW, because I don't know who she is, and I can't seem to find her name anywhere. | |
| However, I would bet the last of my money on the fact that she is a regressive Bernie supporter. | |
| I've got no doubt that her and her friends would say things like, oh, Donald Trump's evil, he's a new Hitler, he needs to go, someone needs to get rid of him, he's terrible. | |
| But they weren't people with us Burgers. | |
| They weren't people with a history of mental health problems. | |
| So obviously they are not going to try and just assassinate Donald Trump at one of his own rallies. | |
| However, it seems that someone with mental health problems will hear this rhetoric, hear it reinforced constantly from the same old media outlets, from the same people around him and think, this is the right thing to do. | |
| And I think that John Cleese explains this kind of extremism way better than I could. | |
| So I will just leave you with him. | |
| Seriously, though, we've heard a lot about extremism recently. | |
| A nastier, harsher atmosphere everywhere, more abuse and botherboy behavior, less friendliness and tolerance and respect for opponents. | |
| All right, but what we never hear about extremism is its advantages. | |
| Well, the biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel good because it provides you with enemies. | |
| Let me explain. | |
| The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies and all the goodness in the whole world is in you. | |
| Attractive, isn't it? | |
| So, if you have a lot of anger and resentment in you anyway, and you therefore enjoy abusing people, then you can pretend that you're only doing it because these enemies of yours are such very bad persons. | |
| And that if it wasn't for them, you'd actually be good-natured and courteous and rational all the time. | |
| So, if you want to feel good, become an extremist. | |
| Okay, now you have a choice. | |
| If you join the hard left, they'll give you their list of authorized enemies. | |
| Almost all kinds of authority, especially the police, the city, Americans, judges, multinational corporations, public schools, furriers, newspaper owners, fox hunters, generals, class traitors, and, of course, moderates. | |
| Or, if you'd rather be an extremist on the hard right, no problem, fine, you still get a lovely list of enemies, only they're different ones. | |
| Noisy minority groups, unions, Russia, weirdos, demonstrators, welfare sponges, meddlesome clergy, peacenicks, the BBC, strikers, social workers, communists, and of course, moderates and upstart actors. | |
| Now, once you're armed with one of these super lists of enemies, you can be as nasty as you like and yet feel your behaviors morally justified. |
