RUSH TRANSCRIPT Much I ░░░░░░░░ to go in and ░░░░░░░░ to governor Gavin Newsom ░░░░░░░░ s happening right now ░░░░░░░░ very different than Anything ░░░░░░░░ ve seen before On ░░░░░░░░ morning When federal agents ░░░░░░░░ out of an unmarked ░░░░░░░░ near a Home Depot ░░░░░░░░ lot they began grabbing ░░░░░░░░ A deliberate targeting of ░░░░░░░░ heavily Latino suburb A ░░░░░░░░ scene played out when ░░░░░░░░ clothing company was raided ░░░░░░░░ In other actions a ░░░░░░░░ S citizen nine months ░░░░░░░░ was arrested A four ░░░░░░░░ old girl taken families ░░░░░░░░ friends quite literally disappearing ░░░░░░░░ response Every day angelenos ░░░░░░░░ out to exercise their ░░░░░░░░ right to free speech ░░░░░░░░ assembly to protest their ░░░░░░░░ s actions In turn ░░░░░░░░ state of California and ░░░░░░░░ city and county of ░░░░░░░░ Angeles sent our police ░░░░░░░░ to help keep the ░░░░░░░░ And with some exceptions ░░░░░░░░ were successful Like many ░░░░░░░░ California is no stranger ░░░░░░░░ this sort of unrest ░░░░░░░░ manage it regularly and ░░░░░░░░ our own law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ this again was different ░░░░░░░░ then ensued was the ░░░░░░░░ of tear gas flash ░░░░░░░░ grenades rubber bullets federal ░░░░░░░░ detaining people and undermining ░░░░░░░░ due process rights Donald ░░░░░░░░ without consulting California law ░░░░░░░░ leaders commandeered 2000 of ░░░░░░░░ state s national guard ░░░░░░░░ to deploy on our ░░░░░░░░ illegally and for no ░░░░░░░░ This brazen abuse of ░░░░░░░░ by a sitting president ░░░░░░░░ a combustible situation putting ░░░░░░░░ people our officers and ░░░░░░░░ our national guard at ░░░░░░░░ That s when the ░░░░░░░░ spiral began He doubled ░░░░░░░░ on his dangerous national ░░░░░░░░ deployment by fanning the ░░░░░░░░ even harder And the ░░░░░░░░ he did it on ░░░░░░░░ As the news spread ░░░░░░░░ L A anxiety for ░░░░░░░░ and friends ramped up ░░░░░░░░ started again By night ░░░░░░░░ dozen lawbreakers became violent ░░░░░░░░ destructive They vandalized property ░░░░░░░░ tried to assault police ░░░░░░░░ Many of you have ░░░░░░░░ the video clips of ░░░░░░░░ burning on cable news ░░░░░░░░ you incite violence I ░░░░░░░░ to be clear about ░░░░░░░░ If you incite violence ░░░░░░░░ destroy our communities you ░░░░░░░░ going to be held ░░░░░░░░ account That kind of ░░░░░░░░ behavior will not be ░░░░░░░░ Full stop
