What regrets does Donald Trump have about the 2020 election?

Unknown 0:01
So Donald Trump apparently has some regrets about the National Guard, not their politically targeted deployment to cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Memphis, but regrets about not ordering them to seize voting machines after the 2020 presidential election, which Donald Trump decisively lost to Joe Biden by more than seven million votes.
Stephen K. Bannon 0:22
In a new interview, The New York Times asked Trump why he did not follow through with the threat. His response, well, I should have.
Unknown 0:30
Adding, they're good warriors. I'm not sure that they're sophisticated enough in the ways of crooked Democrats and the way they cheat to figure that out.
Naomi Wolf 0:39
I've read both the Minnesota and Illinois lawsuits. They're really political diatribes masquerading as lawsuits. If you look at what both states are asking the courts to do, It's to kick ICE out of those states and cities and to bar ICE from carrying on federal law enforcement in Illinois and Minnesota. That's the top thing both states asked to do, and they cite zero precedent for that.

How are lawsuits in Minnesota and Illinois targeting ICE?

Naomi Wolf 1:02
There is zero precedent for that. There is no way a judge can say, you federal law enforcement agency, you are not allowed to execute federal law in a certain state or city.
Stephen K. Bannon 1:13
I think the most that the states could get out of this, if they get sympathetic judges, is a judge who's going to ask questions of ICE, who's gonna hold hearings, who's gonna demand questions about how they're training, how they're carrying out their policy. You also could have judges that issue sort of symbolic orders along the lines of, ICE, you are not to violate the law. But that's already the case. It's already not allowed for ICE to violate the law.
Naomi Wolf 1:35
So these lawsuits, which appear to be coordinated, They're potentially powerful political statements, but I don't give them much of a chance of achieving the legal thing that they're asking for in the courts.

Even today, an hour outside Minneapolis in St.

What is the significance of Trump’s actions regarding voting machines?

Unknown 1:49
Cloud, Trump's agents, dozens of them tried to muster some some kind of military style show of force at a mini mall parking lot in St. Cloud, Minnesota. They were soon surrounded by hundreds of local residents telling them to get out. They were so overwhelmed with the way the neighborhood responded. Trump's agents got stuck there in the mini mall parking lot. A Democratic state senator had to intervene to ask the crowd to please let the federal agents leave because they otherwise couldn't. Finally, after about an hour, people allowed these tough guy masked agents to turn tail and leave with their tails between their legs. Our top story this hour, of course, the state of Minnesota and the twin cities of Minneapolis and St.
Unknown 2:34
Paul are suing the Trump administration over a surge of federal forces there. The lawsuit argues that federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, have acted unconstitutionally and unlawfully by violating the state's sovereignty and civil rights laws.

How is the economic landscape shifting under Trump's policies?

Unknown 2:51
The American people are the most generous people in the world.
Stephen K. Bannon 2:55
You just can't take advantage of us. When immigrants come here, you gotta learn which side of the road to drive on, customs and laws to follow, and that you cannot steal from the U.S. government the way you did from your government.
Unknown 3:07
What I hear is that he believes a mistake in 2020 wasn't the big lie. It was actually the restraint. The mistake wasn't the lack of evidence, but the lack of force. The mistake was that he didn't bend the system far enough. I think he is telling us, broadcasting very loudly, what his strategy is for the next election. I'm not talking about 2028.

What is the current state of inflation and economic growth?

Unknown 3:28
I'm talking about 2026 and what he would like to do or what he plans to do there if things don't go his way. I think we should be honest about it. And I don't think that it's just fantasy that's happening in his brain. He tried in 2020. He directed Rudy Giuliani to go to the DOJ and DHS and to seize the voting machines. Bill Barr said no. Ken Cuccinelli said no. They made it public. It was enough guardrails around him at the time that said, you can't do these things. But right now, the person in charge of elections at the Department of Homeland Security is Heather Honey.
