Summary

In a little-noticed rant, President Donald Trump furiously vowed on Truth Social that he will now carry out something called “remigration.” This idea is widely prevalent among global white nationalists who see it as key to their vile goal of building white ethnostates, so his open endorsement of it is significant. That comes as a U.S. Democratic Senator has been violently tackled and handcuffed, as Trump dispatches troops into Los Angeles, and as his Homeland Security secretary suggests those troops will “liberate” L.A. from its elected Democratic leadership. We talked to Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark and author of a great piece on the fresh levels of bloodlust all this is inspiring in MAGA media. We discuss the centrality of sadism and violent lawlessness to the MAGA movement—and why this is pushing us toward a watershed moment. You can listen to this episode—which was recorded before the horrifying shootings of two Minnesota state legislators—right here. Looking for More from the DSR Network?

0:00.0	This is the Daily Blast from the New Republic, produced and presented by the DSR Network.
0:16.5	I'm your host, Greg Sargent.
0:28.8	We're at a watershed moment right now.
0:30.8	Consider what we've seen lately.
0:38.1	The violent tackling and handcuffing of a Democratic U.S. senator, which met with bloodlust and excitement from MAGA Media,
0:41.5	the sending in of troops into an American city,

0:51.0	We think all this highlights in a newly vivid way the deep sadism and violent lawlessness at the
0:56.7	core of much of the MAGA movement. And Trump just unleashed a vicious new rant in which he
1:02.4	floated a concept called remigration, which is a vile, far-right idea often used to promote the
1:08.8	goal of building white ethno states.
1:12.0	Will Summer, a senior reporter at the bulwark, has a great piece explaining how central
1:16.6	online sadism is to driving the political energy of MAGA.
1:20.5	So we're talking to Will about all of this.
1:23.0	Great to have you on, Will.
1:24.2	Thanks for having me.
1:26.1	So let's start with Trump's rant. Trump claimed Biden and
1:29.8	Governor Newscum, meaning Governor Gavin Newsom, flooded America with 21 million illegal aliens,
1:36.6	which is an invented figure. Then Trump said this, quote, all of them have to go home,
1:42.1	as do countless other illegals and criminals who will turn us into a bankrupt third world nation.
1:48.5	America was invaded and occupied.
1:50.9	I am reversing the invasion.
