Ben Meiselas: 我观察到MAGA共和党州长和特朗普对抗议活动感到恐惧,他们试图通过派遣国民警卫队等方式激化矛盾,为他们的法西斯策略寻找借口。他们不仅威胁抗议者,还试图通过煽动暴力来达到目的。这种行为是对和平抗议的公然压制,是对美国宪法第一修正案的践踏。我认为,这种恐吓策略的目的是为了阻止人们行使他们的权利,维护他们摇摇欲坠的权力。 Henry McMaster: 作为南卡罗来纳州州长,我明确表示,本州不会容忍与“不要国王”抗议相关的任何无法无天的行为。我们将采取一切必要措施来维护法律和秩序,确保所有公民的安全。任何试图破坏和平与安宁的行为都将受到严厉的惩罚。 Ron DeSantis: 作为佛罗里达州州长,我认为如果车辆被人群包围并受到威胁,人们有权逃离以保护自己的安全。在佛罗里达州,我们支持人们自卫的权利。我们不会允许暴徒控制我们的街道,我们将追究任何非法占据街道的人的责任。我们已经准备好应对任何可能发生的抗议活动,并将采取一切必要措施来维护法律和秩序。 Greg Abbott: 作为得克萨斯州州长,我决定部署国民警卫队是为了预防抗议活动可能失控,以确保我们能够迅速做出反应。我们尊重人们和平抗议的权利,但我们绝不允许任何形式的暴力或破坏行为。我们将采取一切必要措施来保护我们的社区和公民。 Wayne Ivey: 作为MAGA佛罗里达州警长,我警告所有潜在的抗议者,在布里瓦德县,如果你们违反法律,将会被逮捕、追捕,甚至可能被警犬咬伤。如果你们向警察投掷砖头、燃烧弹或用枪指着警察,我们将毫不犹豫地采取致命行动。我们不会容忍任何形式的暴力行为,我们将尽一切努力来保护我们的社区。 Maxine Waters: 作为一名民主党国会议员,我质疑部署在洛杉矶的国民警卫队的必要性,因为当时的抗议活动是和平的。我不知道为什么国民警卫队会出现在我的城市。我质问国民警卫队会如何对待和平抗议者,并表示如果他们要射击,最好射准。我认为,这种军事化的反应是不必要的,是对和平抗议的过度反应。 Donald Trump: 我认为,如果抗议者吐口水,就应该打他们。任何抗议我的人都将受到重力打击。那些憎恨我们国家的人将受到重力打击。国民警卫队将在加州无限期驻扎,直到没有危险为止。如果没有派遣国民警卫队,情况会很糟糕。那些“坏人”受到了强力打击,他们是受雇的煽动者。 Gavin Newsom: 作为加州州长,我呼吁所有对抗议活动感到愤怒的人们,请和平地进行抗议,不要中了特朗普的圈套,他想要的是混乱。让我们行使宪法保护的权利,但要和平地进行。不要再认为这是为了追捕危险的罪犯。ICE特工在加州奥克斯纳德的草莓地里追捕工人,导致一个12岁的男孩与父母分离。在洛杉矶,ICE特工冲进公园,从看护人手中带走孩子,这令人发指。任何父母都应该对特朗普政府的残酷行为感到愤怒。 Paige Allenberger: 作为Fox Force记者,我报道了得克萨斯州州长Greg Abbott部署国民警卫队是为了预防抗议活动可能失控。Greg Abbott表示,部署军队是为了应对可能失控的抗议活动,以确保能够迅速做出反应。他还部署了5000名国民警卫队士兵和2000名州警来监控抗议活动。 Stephanie Favilla: 作为一名社区成员,我目睹了ICE在奥马哈的肉类包装厂拘留了超过70名移民,包括我的家人。每个人脸上都充满了恐惧。这种景象让我感到心碎和愤怒。 Jonathan Ryan: 作为一名移民律师,我认为ICE加强执法是前所未有的,导致人们的生活困难。人们因为害怕而不敢出门,不敢送孩子上学,这造成了真正的恐惧。这种行为是对人权的侵犯,是对我们社区的破坏。 Kristi Noem: 作为国土安全部部长,我认为我们正在努力逮捕长期逍遥法外的罪犯。我们的HSI和ICE特工正在与我们的政府合作伙伴合作,开展行动。 Protester: 因为ICE在全国和圣安东尼奥的行动令人心碎,所以我出来了。我们要求结束ICE的突袭行动,停止对我们社区的破坏。

That was one of the peaceful protests that are breaking out across the nation. The one you just saw there was in Chicago. Now, the MAGA Republican governors, just like Donald Trump, are terrified of the peaceful protests. They want to try to escalate matters by sending in the National Guard, by threatening harm to the protesters, because they're hoping to provoke incidents

so that they can try to justify their fascist tactics across the country and in the various states. Look how terrified these MAGA Republicans are. You have Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina saying, South Carolina's law enforcement will not tolerate lawless behavior associated with this weekend's nationwide planned protest, the No Kings protest.

Have a nice weekend, exclamation point. Like, who talks like that? Who talks like that?

You should encourage and want to inspire people to have their First Amendment rights peacefully, of course, as our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski, goes lots of threats from the tough guys today. Or how about these signs on the fencing in front of Bunker Boys White House right now? This is what these are the signs in front of the White House as they put up gates so that protesters can't get close to the White House. They don't want to

interrupt Donald Trump's dictator parade. It says, the sign says, fence jumpers will be prosecuted. And apparently it's a recycled sign from Lollapalooza. So then of course, Florida's MAGA Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who MAGA doesn't even like because he's not Trumpy enough for MAGA. But Ron DeSantis is,

goes on this show and he's in the past two days, he's basically encouraging people to drive their vehicles through protesters and kill them. And he's like in California, in Florida, we've got, you know, we protect people who drive their vehicles through protesters and run over people. This is how terrified they are of the peaceful protest. This is the type of

scare tactics they use. Listen to what DeSantis has to say. And we also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that's their fault for impinging on you. You don't have to sit there and just be a sitting dog.

duck and let the mob grab you out of your car and drag you through the streets. You have a right to defend yourself in Florida. You know, because they're terrified of this. Like, look at what's going on in Los Angeles, California. Here are some of the protesters dancing at the L.A. protests. Here, play this clip.

So you have Governor DeSantis of Florida. You saw at the beginning you have Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina. Here you have Governor Greg Abbott deploying thousands of Texas National Guard troops to

across Texas in preparation for the No Kings protests. Play this clip. Governor Greg Abbott is doubling down on his promise to send out Texas National Guard troops ahead of the No Kings protests across the state. Fox Force, Paige Allenberger live in Dallas where there are multiple demonstrations planned for this weekend. Paige.

Brandon Lauren, good morning. Thousands of Texas National Guard troops will be deployed this weekend. It's a similar move we've seen taken by President Donald Trump in California during anti-ice protests in the Los Angeles area. Governor Greg Abbott says he supports the president's decision to deploy troops and is doing so here in Texas as a precaution. With dozens of protests against the Trump administration's handling of immigration scheduled across the state this weekend,

The governor went on Fox News to defend his reasoning for using state force. There were protests without any property being damaged or anybody being hurt. And people are free to protest if they don't harm anything. However, because of the possibility, because the size of the crowds could grow large, because things could get out of control, we want to make sure that we have the assets in place where we're going to be able to quickly respond.

Abbott deploying 5,000 National Guard troops as well as 2,000 state troopers to monitor protests tomorrow. It is unclear exactly how many will go where. At least eight protests are scheduled here in the Dallas area for tomorrow. Organizers reminding demonstrators to remain peaceful. And again, I just think about

Overwhelmingly, the protests are peaceful and they're joyous and there's music and there's dancing. Here, this is the enormous peaceful protest that we saw pretty much throughout Los Angeles. Most of it looked like this. Play this clip. Archie! Archie! Archie! Archie!

I found this interesting. You had the San Antonio Police Chief McManus and the San Antonio Mayor Nirenberg were saying that they were never even informed by Governor Abbott about the deployment of the National Guard who just rolled in to their city. Here, play this clip. Mayor, why not get ahead of this? I asked the chief earlier because he says...

If they get deployed to guards, then he'll reach out. You know, why not be ahead of it, be proactive, say, hey, we got you. I mean, I'm not going to speak for the chief, but I'll give him credit. We weren't given this information. We had to go look for it. And so we're going to try to stay as coordinated as possible. You know, I think we have great law enforcement at every agency, but they're under command of somebody else. And so here in San Antonio, we have the group.

best police department in the country under the command of the right person. He's going to do everything we can to protect our local community and our local citizens. And to show you again, the fear tactics that's being used by the MAGA and like the MAGA sheriffs. This is the MAGA Florida Sheriff Wayne Ivey. This is his speech to the people. He threatens to kill anti-Trump protesters. Here, play this clip. If you resist lawful orders, you're going to jail.

Let me be very clear about that. If you block an intersection or roadway in Brevard County, you are going to jail. If you flee arrest, you're gonna go to jail tired because we are gonna run you down and put you in jail. If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave, in our county, you're most likely gonna get run over and dragged across the street. If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital and in jail.

If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital and jail and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs that we have here. If you throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies, we will be notifying your family where to collect your remains at because we will kill you graveyard dead. We're not going to play.

This has got to stop. And again, what they're trying to do here is escalate. They want to provoke protesters. They're trying to inspire violence so that they could engage in exactly what they're saying. They want to utilize their fascist playbook. They want people to play into that. So they're intentionally being provocative.

and escalating things. Here's, again, MAGA Republican Governor Ron DeSantis going on Fox and showing how scared he is of the No Kings protests. -About 1,800 of them are planned, including more than 75, they're claiming, in Florida itself. And that's the same day Trump is planning the --

military parade in D.C., Flag Day, Army's 250th anniversary celebration, which in and of itself, that's driving the left crazy. They hate any display of patriotism or celebrating of the military. They can't stand that. So, Governor, how are you preparing for these supposedly 75 protests across your state?

Our folks are ready at the state level. I mean, I think, as you know, the local police will be the first to respond if anything goes wrong. County sheriffs will be there as well. We have our state law enforcement on standby. They'll be ready to go, whether it's the highway patrol, whether it's Florida Department of Law Enforcement. And then we do have National Guard who will be ready.

But I got to tell you, we've dealt with this pretty effectively in the past. I mean, one of the things they're doing in Los Angeles, yes, you see the looting, you see all that. They also just take over streets. Look, if you don't have a permit to take over streets, you can't just interrupt traffic. The Hamas people tried to do this when they were doing that a year or so ago. They tried it in Miami. They were kicked off

the road in 13 minutes. They tried it in Central Florida. Our highway patrol got them out of there in 11 minutes. So you're going to be held accountable. The inmates are not going to run the asylum. So it's a bad decision to try to pull that nonsense in Florida. So you ever sit down to work and your brain just won't cooperate? That was me for so long. I find myself getting distracted, scrolling through social media, just totally unable to focus.

Especially with a job like this where I need to stay locked in, productive, creative, and on top of the news, distractions aren't just annoying, they can derail everything. Then I found Brain.fm and it's been a game changer. Brain.fm is an app built for anyone seeking to boost productivity. They create science-backed music that syncs brain patterns, helping you focus better, relax deeper, and sleep easier.

I use their deep work and creative modes daily. It's like flipping a switch in my brain. There's even a turbo mode specifically designed for ADHD support. And this isn't hype. Brain.fm is the only music company supported by a National Science Foundation grant and just published a peer-reviewed study showing their patented tech improves attention and brainwave synchrony.

Unlock your brain's full potential free for 30 days by going to brain.fm.mitus. That's brain.fm.mitus. That's M-E-I-D-A-S for 30 days free. I just love this scene right here. You have a Democratic Congresswoman, Maxine Waters,

looking at the National Guard and like there's only like a hundred National Guard who are actually operationalized at this point because there's no place to put the other Nat the 4 000 National Guard that Donald Trump federalized in Los Angeles watch Maxine Waters right here looking at these National Guard troops as they're like peaceful protests out there it's like what the hell are you doing what are these weapons of war that you have here play this clip yeah

What are you going to do? You going to shoot some kid who's afraid of you and run? You going to shoot an electric official? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight.

I don't know why you're in my city. The governor was not contacted. Take a look at this large immigration protest, peaceful, outside of the Fan Fest at the College World Series in Omaha, not blocking traffic, peaceful, drums and chants. Take a look right here. No hate, no fear. Immigrants are welcome here. No hate, no fear. Immigrants are welcome here.

And of course we see Donald Trump trying to provoke things as well. Trump this week saying, "When they spit, we hit. When the protesters spit, we're gonna hit 'em." Here, play this clip.

When they spit at people, you know, they spit. That's their new thing. They spit at worse. You know what they throw at them, right? And when that happens, I have a little statement. They say, they spit, we hit. And I told them.

Nobody's gonna spit on our police officers. Nobody's gonna spit on our military. - Or Donald Trump saying that anybody who protests will be met with heavy force. He's not saying if you're like a violent protester, he goes, if you protest his military parade, you will be met with violent force. Play this clip. - Celebrating big on Saturday. We're gonna have a lot of, and if there's any protester wants to come out, they will be met with very big force.

By the way, for those people that want to protest, they're going to be met with very big force. And I haven't even heard about a protest

But, you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force. And then Donald Trump basically saying that there's going to be no time limit to when the National Guard will leave Los Angeles or other places in the country, whatever he wants. Play this clip. National Guard being California indefinitely. How long will they be there until you think? Until there's no danger.

It's easy. Look, it's common sense. You asked me that question. When there's no danger, they'll leave. You would have had a horrible situation had I not sent them and horrible.

You'd be reporting on a lot of death and a lot of destruction that's not going to take place. I think if you look every night, it got less and less. They were met with very strong force, the bad people, the bad sick people that do what they do. But these are paid people in many cases, not in all cases, but in many cases. And

They really are. They're agitators. Now, contrast that to what Governor Newsom has said about the peaceful protests. Here, play this clip. He said, be stubbornly peaceful. Play this clip. Can we once and for all just dispense with this notion that this is all about going after dangerous criminals?

Two days ago in Oxnard, California, there were ICE agents running through strawberry fields. People that have been working those fields for over 20 years. I met with a 12-year-old boy whose mom and dad were detained. He was left with nobody, sitting there weeping and crying, tears pouring down his face. Now today, just today, in Los Angeles, reports are coming back.

that caregivers, babysitters, entrusted with children and toddlers,

in parks in Los Angeles had ICE agents rush on them in unmarked cars and take these children from the caregivers, detaining these babysitters. Imagine being a parent of one of those children and getting a call about what just happened. Any parent should be outraged, but all of us should be outraged by that cruelty, by that conduct by the Trump administration.

Tomorrow, he is going to have a birthday, a vulgar display of weakness. And millions of people, I imagine millions of people are going to get out and protest. I ask you, if you're filled with rage, as I am, by what is going on in the militarization of great American cities, that when you're out protesting, you do it peacefully. Do not play in to Donald Trump. What he wants is chaos.

That's the reaction that he hopes to get from us from this cruelty. Let's not give him what he wants. Let's exercise our constitutionally protected rights, but let's do it peacefully. And again, contrast that to what they're doing in Texas, where they've deployed National Guard troops to San Antonio and other places, again, trying to provoke violence.

play this clip. One by one, Texas National Guard troops were seen arriving in San Antonio. Part of the contingent Governor Greg Abbott deployed to counter the growing protests across the state.

Hundreds of protesters marched through downtown San Antonio yesterday demanding an end to ICE raids. When you see some of the operations that have been happening across the country and here in San Antonio, is that why you're out here? It's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking. I'm at the point where I don't even want

The nationwide protests are being driven partly by what President Trump has called his administration's aggressive immigration policy. The goal is to arrest nearly 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day.

Videos on social media show ICE agents detaining several men in Dallas shortly after their immigration hearings were dismissed. In San Antonio, children and their families were zip-tied at the federal courthouse. In Omaha, Nebraska, more than 70 migrants were taken into custody at a meat packing plant, including several family members of Supervisor Stephanie Favilla. The looks on everybody's faces, it was just...

Scared. And near Oxnard, California, federal agents chasing migrants working in the fields. The intended effect is to cause fear. Immigration attorney Jonathan Ryan says the stepped-up enforcement is unprecedented. Many people are finding their lives difficult.

upended because they can't go out, they can't take their kids to school. It is causing real terror. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. We've seen under this last week some operations that have been working to bring in criminals that have been out on our streets for far too long. Our HSI and ICE individuals have been out conducting operations with our government partners.

We are expecting a court ruling from California very soon on whether the National Guard and the Marines can act as civil law enforcement for the planned protests on Saturday. You may remember President Trump sent in the National Guard against the wishes of California Governor Gavin Newsom. There you have it. MAGA is absolutely terrified. And just think about that clip I showed you of DeSantis, where he's encouraging people to run over the protesters. You heard him in his own words.
