Velshi starts now.

Good morning. It's Saturday, March 30th. I'm Ali Valshi. We begin this morning with the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee once again escalating his violent rhetoric.

Donald Trump's latest dog whistle was posted on his social media platform,

Truth Social, which is now part of a newly merged company that just went public this week,

making him on paper at least a substantially richer man. In our editorial discussions this morning,

we were asked not to show the image from this video because it is violent and disturbing in nature.

So in lieu of showing it to you, because it is shocking, let me describe it.

The video clip shows a pickup truck emblazoned with the slogan Trump 2024 on its side,

and it features an image of President Joe Biden lying on his side, his eyes closed, his hands tied behind his back,

his feet bound with rope. And that doctored image is plastered on the tailgate of the pickup truck

to make it appear as if Biden were actually restrained on the vehicle's flatbed. The video then

zooms in and lingers on the truck in the image of a bound Joe Biden for several

seconds, and the video ends with the driver giving a thumbs up out of the window.

This comes less than two weeks after the former president warned of a quote, unquote,

bloodbath if he does not win the election in November, a reference that many tied themselves

in pretzels about, making excuses that he was talking about the election in November, a reference that many tied themselves in pretzels about,

making excuses that he was talking about the tariffs that he would impose on Chinese-made cars,

not about actual violence.

Trump's latest post indicated that the video was shot in Long Island on Thursday when the ex-president was in town to attend the wake of an NYPD officer.

Biden was in town that day as well, headlining a big fundraising event in Manhattan

with former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

But it was a different event this week, about 1,000 miles away from New York
