But it was one of the things that led to Richard Nixon's deteriorating popularity and his exit from office.
So I think we're getting closer to one of those.
If this is not that moment, we're moving in that direction where this is going to ultimately redound to hurt the president.
And the claims that he's making about the violence on the part of protesters is actually twisted and turned entirely.
No, I think that's exactly the right, it's long overdue, it's exactly the right course.
But I believe President Trump
must channel his inner Lincoln and use the Insurrection Act now to defeat the deep state and defeat the ongoing coup that's been going on since 2016.
We saw it in 2020.
In fact, in 2020, I wrote open letters to President Trump in November, December, and January of 2020,
urging him to invoke the Insurrection Act and to take down this Marxist coup that's across our country.
And so he needs to do this, and he needs to do it because this is what it takes.
This is why the Insurrection Act exists.
Lincoln did it in the Civil War.
Jefferson signed it into law and used it himself.
Grant used it to put down the KKK.
JFK used it to desegregate schools.
Eisenhower used it in Little Rock, Arkansas.
In fact, that's the most direct parallel is what President Eisenhower did
when the governor of Arkansas called up his National Guard and deployed them to block the black students from coming in to go to school, Eisenhower nationalized the National Guard of Arkansas, and then he deployed the 101st Airborne to put a stamp on it, a thousand paratroopers in the streets to escort the kids.
And it was actually safer for everyone because after that, no one wants to dance with the 101st Airborne and the National Guardsmen
