5:04Now PlayingDonald Trump is planning to use the United States military against civilians exercising their Constitutional rights, according to newly obtained documents from the federal government.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

During his announcement on Monday, Donald Trump teased that he may start releasing the National Guard to other cities like New York, Chicago, Oakland, Baltimore, because of what Trump views as the rising crime, out of control, crime rates in these places, even though the statistics do not bear any of that out. And crime has actually dropped in all of the cities, including Washington, DC that Donald Trump says are just overridden with criminals knocking you in the head every time you step out the door. But he is threatening to expand this, and everyone needs to know that these threats to expand this, to make this happen across the country, they're not threats. It is part of a plan that has been documented. Memos have been leaked. This is something that this administration has in fact been working on for quite some time weeks, if not months. In fact, it even has a name.
The Trump administration has been working on a plan called the domestic Civil disturbance, quick Reaction Force. Not exactly the the flashiest or catchiest name out there, but the domestic civil disturbance, quick reaction force is what they're calling it. And it is going to consist, not, might consist, not, could consist. It is going to consist of 600 National Guard troops. They will be split up into barracks. Some of them in the state of Alabama, some of them in the state of Arizona. And their job, you know, on different sides of the country here will be to be on the ready, according to the government's own documents, by the way, be on the ready to go out there and put down any civil unrest that Donald Trump orders you to put down. The memo also says that these soldiers will be kept on a 90 day rotation. So, you know, we don't want anybody getting burned out by attacking your own citizenry and stifling people's ability to exercise their constitutional rights.
I imagine that could be a little draining. So 90 day rotations, a hundred soldiers at a time out of the 600, and this is a plan. This is a written out plan. A plan that they have had meetings about, that they have strategized about. They have even talked about the potential pitfalls of it according to the government's own documents. They have talked about the fact that this is probably gonna cost us hundred millions of dollars. Well, Trump doesn't care. They've talked about the potential political blowback from this. Well, Trump doesn't care. He's technically not running again. He can't run again. If he stays in office, it's by doing something illegal. So surely he's not gonna care about poll numbers or approval ratings, he's just gonna do it anyway. But this
Is a written out plan being put in place as we speak by the federal government to use the military against us. Civilians particularly, and this is the most disturbing part, protestors, people exercising their constitutional rights. We do not live in a republic anymore. We do not live in a democracy, or whatever word you want to call it, you know, interchangeable adjectives there. We don't live in those anymore. The United States of America that you knew as recently as one year ago is gone, and it's likely gone forever. We are in an authoritarian dictatorship where we are now being threatened with the use of force from our own military, from our God emperor Donald Trump. That's what's happening now. And just in case anybody might be thinking like, oh, well, you know, they're just gonna go out there and they're gonna help local cops. No, they're not. According to the memos. They're gonna have full blown military equipment. They're going to have military style weapons, riot gear, and of course military ve
