Trump responded to that criticism, and also the criticism that he's Hitler-esque, like asking voters to raise their right hands in a pledge of support. Here's what Mr. Trump said. Sometimes we'll do it for fun and they'll start screaming at me, do the swear and do the swear. And I mean, they're having such a great time. They're massive crowds. I get, you know, by far the biggest crowds and we're having a good time. Honestly, until this phone call, I didn't know it was a problem. I'll certainly look into it. I mean, I'd like to find out that that's true, but I would certainly look in because I don't want to offend anybody. But I can tell you that it's been amazingly received. There is a trending retweet of yours. You retweeted somebody from Il Duce 2016. It was a Mussolini quote, but you didn't know it was Mussolini when you retweeted it. It said, it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep. That's a famous Mussolini quote. You retweeted it. Do you like the quote? Did you know it was Mussolini? It's okay to know it's Mussolini. Look, Mussolini was Mussolini. It's okay to... It's a very good quote. It's a very interesting quote. And I... No, I saw it. I saw what... And I know who said it. Uh, but what difference does it make whether it's Mussolini or somebody else? It's certainly a very interesting quote. That's probably why I have it. Between Facebook and Twitter, 14 million people, and other people don't. It's a very interesting quote, and people can talk about it. You want to be associated with a fascist? No, I want to be associated with interesting quotes and people. You know, I have almost 14 million people between Instagram and Facebook and Twitter and all of that. And we do interesting things. And I sent it out. And certainly, hey, it got your attention, didn't it? Well, and it is trending on Twitter right now. If you do a simple search online, you find that there are dozens of articles and videos making comparisons between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump and Benito Mussolini. My whole purpose for this series is to expose and to reveal to us how modern day Christianity has exalted political messiahs. I remind you again of what Jesus said in relation to the rulers of this world in Mark 10. Verse 42 says, but Jesus called them to him and saith unto them, ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them. and their great ones exercise authority upon them, but so shall it not be among you. But whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister, and whosoever of you will be the chiefest shall be servant of all." As far as this trust in political messiahs, Psalm 118 that I mentioned in another study here recently. Verse eight and nine. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. I believe very strongly that we have replaced the Lord Jesus Christ as our King in modern day Christianity. And we are exalting, we are exalting political Messiahs. I encourage you that if you've not listened to part one of this comparison between Donald Trump and Benito Mussolini, I encourage you to listen to that first, because it's gonna lay a groundwork and understanding as to what I'm presenting in this part two. Comparison number five, repression of individual rights. There's a quote again from Mussolini, a reminder, These measures have been applied. They have been applied with intelligence for it is necessary to be very intelligent in carrying out the work of repression. What were the things that he's talking about in that statement? Another quote from him prior to this. It was then that on this sheet of paper written by my hand in pencil, as you can see, I dictated the measures that had to be taken. The withdrawal and revision of all foreign passports, the order to shoot without warning anyone caught in the act of secretly crossing the border, the suppression of all daily and periodical anti-fascist publications, the dissolution of all associations, organizations, and groups which were anti-fascist or suspected of anti-fascism, the deportation of all those who were suspected of anti-fascism or who carried out any kind of counter-revolutionary activity and anyone who abusively wore the black shirt. The creation of a special police in all regions and the creation of investigative police officers and a special tribunal. Those are the acts that Mussolini used to bring about the work of repression. I want you to consider some statements from Donald Trump in comparison. And I want you to consider the repression of individual rights. He is not for the amendments of the Constitution. In his actions, he does something contrary to what he says. Yes, go ahead, Mike. Well, in the category, you spoke about it, Mr. President, gun violence restraining orders. And they're called — California actually has a version of this. And I think you — in your meeting with governors earlier this week, individually and as a group, we spoke about states taking steps. But the focus is to literally give families and give local law enforcement additional tools if an individual is reported to be a potential danger to themselves or others. Allow due process so that no one's rights are trampled, but the ability to go to court Obtain an order and then collect not only the firearms, but any any weapons in the position or might take the firearms first and then go to court because that's another system because a lot of times by the time you go to court it takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man's case that just took place in Florida. He had a lot of firearms. They saw everything. To go to court would have taken a long time. So you could do exactly what you're saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second. Did you catch what Donald Trump said? That we should take, he thinks that we should take the guns first before due process of law. So you're going to violate one of the amendments, in preparation and waiting for the other amendment. Those statements were made in a recorded cabinet meeting while he was president. Listen to another statement that Donald Trump made in relation to repression of individual rights. My fellow Americans, tonight I want to speak with you about our nation's unprecedented response to the coronavirus outbreak that started in China and is now spreading throughout the world. Today, the World Health Organization officially announced that this is a global pandemic. We have been in frequent contact with our allies, and we are marshaling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the American people. This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history. I am confident that by counting and continuing to take these tough measures, we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens, and we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus. From the beginning of time, nations and people have faced unforeseen challenges, including large-scale and very dangerous health threats. This is the way it always was and always will be. It only matters how you respond, and we are responding with great speed and professionalism. Our team is the best anywhere in the world. At the very start of the outbreak, we instituted sweeping travel restrictions on China and put in place the first federally mandated quarantine in over 50 years. We declared a public health emergency and issued the highest level of travel warning on other countries as the virus spread its horrible infection. And taking early, intense action, we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the virus in the United States than are now present in Europe. The European Union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from China and other hotspots. As a result, a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe. After consulting with our top government health professionals, I have decided to take several strong but necessary actions to protect the health and well-being of all Americans. To keep new cases from entering our shores, we will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. There will be exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings, and these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade in cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom. At the same time, we are monitoring the situation in China and the South Korea. And as their situation improves, we will reevaluate the restrictions and warnings that are currently in place for a possible early opening. Earlier this week, I met with the leaders of health insurance industry who have agreed to waive all copayments for coronavirus treatments, extend insurance coverage to these treatments, and to prevent surprise medical billing. We are cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapies available in record time. These treatments will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus. Additionally, last week, I signed into law an $8.3 billion funding bill to help CDC and other government agencies fight the virus and support vaccines, treatments, and distribution of medical supplies. Testing and testing capabilities are expanding rapidly, day by day. We are moving very quickly. The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low. Young and healthy people can expect to recover fully and quickly if they should get the virus. The highest risk is for elderly population with underlying health conditions. The elderly population must be very, very careful. In particular, we are strongly advising that nursing homes for the elderly suspend all medically unnecessary visits. In general, older Americans should also avoid non-essential travel in crowded areas. My administration is coordinating directly with communities with largest outbreaks, and we have issued guidance on school closures, social distancing, and reducing large gatherings. Smart action today will prevent the spread of the virus tomorrow. My administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people, avoid discretionary travel, and avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants, and public food courts. If everyone makes this change or these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation, and we will defeat the virus, and we're going to have a big celebration altogether. With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly. A lot of progress has been made. I'm also pleased to report today that a vaccine candidate has begun the phase one clinical trial. This is one of the fastest vaccine development launches in history. Not even close. We're also racing to develop antiviral therapies and other treatments. And we've had some promising results, early results, but promising to reduce the severity and the duration of the symptoms. And I have to say that our government is prepared to do whatever it takes, whatever it takes we're doing. Donald Trump signed an executive order that was issued December 11, 2019, while he was president. It was entitled Combating Anti-Semitism. And basically, this was an expansion of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It used the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism, the same thing that is going through Congress right now. It's already passed the House, and I've not heard of any activity in the Senate yet. Again, the bill that's going through Congress. This executive order stated that federal funds would be withheld from colleges where students are not protected from antisemitism. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, clarified what this was about, as far as this executive order, when he said anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. So in other words, if you disagree with anything that Israel does, you're guilty of anti-Semitism. Mussolini said this, in our state, the individual is not deprived of freedom. In fact, he has greater liberty than an isolated man because the state protects him and he is part of the state. Fascism emphasizes the repression of individual rights. You think about the pandemic. Churches were included in non-essential gatherings. There was a call to limit the size of gatherings, to wear masks and all of those things. Can I remind you what the First Amendment says? Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. Those who spoke out against the plandemic, those who were speaking out and doctors who spoke out against it, who opposed the plandemic were silenced and censored and sometimes even fined, large fines. Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press. How many people were censored? How many? Alternative news sources were censored in the news media and social media. Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to peaceably assemble. So during the pandemic, the president can issue guidelines that become law or mandates. Donald Trump was able to say, I never wanted the mandates. Number six, another comparison, party domination. a fascist leader will take control of the political party. And I remind you, this first study that I had in this series was on the fascism of Abraham Lincoln, a Republican. Mussolini said this in relation to the party. He spoke of a gradual creation of a ruling class to change Italy, to change the nation. He assumed the task of governing Italy for 10 to 15 years. and how this was accomplished, Mussolini took control of the fascist party of Italy. I want you to listen to this statement by William Galston of Miller Center at the University of Virginia. Listen to how he describes the Republican Party. The current Republican Party is Donald Trump's party. And it will be Donald Trump's party after he is no longer president. And he, in that respect, is the third great Republican party transformer of the World War II era. Dwight Eisenhower was the first. Defeated Taft and led the Republican Party to make its peace with the New Deal and with internationalism. Second was Ronald Reagan. The third is Donald Trump. And the changes that he has made are much more than tonal changes or even policy changes. He has changed the Republican coalition irreversibly. As we've seen already this year, Donald Trump took control of the party. RNC members elected new leadership, a new leadership team in March. Included in that was his daughter-in-law, Laura Trump, who was co-chair of the RNC. And one article pointed out that in the 1980s, President Reagan's daughter, Maureen, became co-chair of the RNC back then. But taking control of the party, that happened in Germany with Hitler, that happened in Italy with Mussolini. Number seven, another comparison, a corporative state. Not a cooperative state, though that's exactly what happens. But we're talking about corporations, a corporative state. That's what happened in fascist Italy. Italian fascism had a ministry of corporations. I mentioned that in a previous study. I'll remind you of a statement that I made in that lesson. All economic organizations acknowledged, safeguarded, and supported by the corporative state exist within the orbit of fascism. This can also be called a public-private partnership, a partnership between the government and corporations. I want to give you three examples of the fascist tendencies of Donald Trump in relation to this public-private partnership. First of all, Operation Warp Speed. I came across a flowchart, essentially, of Operation Warp Speed. It's entitled The Vaccine Distribution Process. Of course, up in the upper left-hand corner, there's government agencies that were involved with Operation Warp Speed. Clear over at the left of the flowchart, you have Pfizer, and Moderna that was mentioned as the pharmaceutical companies in relation to this flow chart. And they worked with shippers like UPS and FedEx for hastening distribution. Of course, as I've already mentioned, they used the military to aid in this whole process. But this Operation Warp Speed included a network of hospitals, large clinics, and outpatient clinics, pharmacies, long-term care facilities, doctor's offices, public health clinics, mobile medical units, organizations related to the homebound and other federal entities that were involved in this whole process. That was Operation Warp Speed, literally a working together, a partnership of public and private. Again, doing a search, I came across this statement in relation to the public-private operation of Warp Speed. Operation Warp Speed was a public-private partnership launched by the Trump administration on May 15, 2020, to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. This unprecedented collaboration brought together government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and other stakeholders to combat the pandemic. In fact, I've come across articles. One doctor claims that she could have made one and a half million dollars during the pandemic if she had followed the protocols of the government. Instead, she was helping her patients to avoid the vaccines. One and a half million dollars to one doctor. I believe it was for 6,000 patients, if I remember correctly. Key features, public-private partnership. Operation Warp Speed was a joint effort between government agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Defense, notice that, the Department of Defense, that's why I say this was a bio weapon, and the National Institutes of Health and private companies, including pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer and Moderna. Rapid vaccine development. Operation Warp Speed aimed to eliminate the inefficiencies and accelerate the vaccine development process. with the goal of delivering a safe and effective vaccine as quickly as possible. Donald Trump has gone on record as saying, he's promoted this, that he said on February 28, 2021, if I wasn't president, you wouldn't be getting that beautiful shot for five years. Well, if we had waited for five years, the pandemic would have died out. Manufacturing and distribution. The partnership worked to streamline the manufacturing and distribution process in ensuring that vaccines could be produced and delivered to the public as soon as they were approved. Operation Warp Speed is fascism. Also, I'll remind you of something that Donald Trump said about freedom cities and a public-private partnership. we should hold a contest to charter up to 10 new cities and award them to the best proposals for development. In other words, we'll actually build new cities in our country again. These Freedom Cities will reopen the frontier, reignite American imagination, and give hundreds of thousands of young people and other people, all hardworking families, a new shot at home ownership and, in fact, the American dream. My third example of this corporative state is a statement that Donald Trump made in the presence and with globalist Klaus Schwab, in which he praises the former world economic leader. But I want you to listen carefully. He also has a statement about the climate agenda in relation to this public-private partnership. We look forward to being here. Klaus has done a fantastic job. And again, we're meeting with the biggest companies in the world, the biggest businesses in the world, and world leaders, all for the benefit of the United States. We look forward to the meetings. Why don't I have witnesses with Trump? I'm a big believer in the environment. The environment to me is very important. Thank you. So in other words, Donald Trump is a fascist when it comes to the corporative state. And finally, the use of religion. Mussolini said that fascism was built on Roman Catholicism, and I believe literally it was an operation of the Roman Catholic Church. Just like communism, just like Nazism, just like Islam, all of these are created by the power that rules over the kings of this earth. Donald Trump clearly uses the religious community to accomplish his political agenda. He appeals to both Protestants and Roman Catholics. This is why I sometimes refer to Donald Trump as being a political Messiah to many people. Listen to the following audio, it's from AP News. This video was recorded on May 18, 2024 in Vandalia, Ohio. Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president. And it's a great talking point, but we live our life that way. We believe in the Bible, we work hard, we pray, we go to church, And I try to instill those values in my children. And President Trump definitely has our full support. Trump has essentially made what is known in evangelical circles, he's kind of borrowed this logic of substitutionary atonement. And the idea behind substitutionary atonement is, you know, that Jesus died for your sins. And Trump has actually borrowed that language lately. We've seen him saying, I'm being indicted for you. We'll witness the commencement of the very first Biden trial. They're all Biden trials, you know that, right? And I'm proud to do it for you. There's virtually no debate this time about whether Trump is an appropriate candidate for someone who claims to be Christian, someone who claims to value morality and character and all the kinds of things that white evangelicals have always said they value. My faith in Jesus is very important, and I know there's a leader, Donald J. Trump, who was already president, who did a great job when he was in office, who's coming back and will reinstate those values, will reinstate godliness in the office and in our country. I follow Donald Trump's campaign all across the United States. We sell merchandise. The God Guns of Trump, that's probably one of my best-selling shirts. It has been for the last two or three years or so. The Republican sidelines more so with what the Bible says in terms of eliminating abortion, in terms of getting rid of the LGBTQ, in terms of freedom of speech. We've got people like Tim Scott and others in the Republican basket that are certainly not just white, but nonetheless express many of these views. But when you look at the overwhelming data, it does divide along racial lines. So the glue, I think, connecting white evangelicals to Trump is less about abortion per se. It's more about a kind of ethno-religious vision of the country. And it is about being a white Christian nation. Probably the number one issue on my heart would be abortion. I would say inflation, job security. Those are some very big things that we look at as well. And and so, you know, that's why we chose to come to this to the Trump rally. In many ways, what we're seeing is this clash of two different visions of how Christianity and democracy connect. Albert Speer, who lived from 1905 to 1981, was a German architect. He served as the minister of armaments and war production in Nazi Germany for most of World War II. He was a close ally of Adolf Hitler and Speer was convicted in the Nuremberg trials and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Albert Speer made this comment about fascism. He observed that fascism will come back as anti-fascism. Listen to that statement. I want you to consider how many politicians will say this, something similar to this, that they're going to root out communism, Marxism, and fascism. Donald Trump has promoted this throughout his campaigns. Listen carefully to this Mount Rushmore speech that was given on July 3, 2020. We gather tonight to herald the most important day in the history of nations, July 4, 1776. At those words, every American heart should swell with pride. Every American family should cheer with delight, and every American patriot should be filled with joy. Because each of you lives in the most magnificent country in the history of the world, and it will soon be greater than ever before. They enshrined a divine truth that changed the world forever when they said, all men are created equal. These immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom. Our founders boldly declared that we are all endowed with the same divine rights given us by our creator in heaven. And that which God has given us, we will allow no one ever to take away ever. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. Many of these people have no idea why they're doing this, but some know exactly what they're doing. They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive. But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history, and culture to be taken from them. One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism, and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America. This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty, must be stopped, and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement. protect our nation's children, end this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It's not gonna happen to us. Again, I emphasize, he makes this statement. In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It's not going to happen to us. What happens after Donald Trump wins? What's next for America? The economy booms. American energy is unleashed and an end to crushing taxes. The border is closed and the largest deportation in history is underway. No more wars as we focus on home. Law and order is restored. The American dream is back and the best is yet to come. Make America great again. That post to Trump's social account in May of this year presented a series of headlines hypothetically And what you could not see on the audio, you could see in the video. The final headline in the video said this, industrial strength significantly increased driven by the creation of a unified Reich. In case you missed it, the video was only up for 19 hours on Donald Trump's truth social account. Only up for 19 hours. But it created quite a stir all over the news media. The video was left up for 19 hours and the Trump campaign said that it was posted by a staffer who did not see the Unified Reich headline at the very end. So after I presented all of this evidence and these comparisons between Mussolini and MAGA fascism, would America follow and vote for a fascist for president? After presenting all these comparisons and the evidence, How would you answer that question? Today, especially, in honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections, and will do anything possible, they'll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream. The real threat is not from the radical right. The real threat is from the radical left. And it's growing every day, every single day. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. Our threat is from within. Because if you have a capable, competent, smart, tough leader, Russia, China, North Korea, they're not going to want to play with us. And they didn't. Despite the hatred and anger of the radical-left lunatics who want to destroy our country, we will make America great again. Thank you, New Hampshire. God bless you.
