In the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, we speak to writer Jeff Sharlet, author of The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War. Sharlet says, "The Trump campaign and this kind of authoritarianism is driven by not just the use of violence, not just the invocation of violence, but a kind of reverence of violence, a redemption through violence." Sharlet, who researches the rise of far-right extremism in the United States, also responds to Project 2025, the far-right policy platform that is expected to guide Trump's potential second term in office.

Jeff Shalet wrote the book that became a documentary on Netflix called “The Family “ no media outlets ever mentioned the cultist organization.
I followed his reporting on that organization closely, but I didn’t know about the documentary. Thank you!
❤
Excellent documentary highly recommend
Yes very excellent documentary, and very scary reality of the hidden agendas within some of our government!
"trump wrote some of it himself. You can tell from the all caps" 😂
You can hear amy holding her laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
The parts in all caps and poor grammar are definitely Trumps'. The first part was way to level headed to be Trump, and way too intelligent.
Every time I hear that statement from Biden I choke! What a one eyed president. Look at what he is allowing in Palestine 😢😢😢😢
💯👍
Not merely allowing but sponsoring.
If he didn't support Palestine you'd say it's bad. If he did support them you'd say it's bad
Younshould choke from the lies trump tells, President Biden had the decency to call the family of the man that was shot by the white republican male, trump did not call at all! JD Vance was kissing assphault, for a vp pick! Not😂
PROJECT 2025 is a bigger deal here right now.
Thank you Jeff Sharlett for being a voice of sanity, reason and truth
he is a typical propagandist
Seriously?? This "professor" pretends to be a journalist. He is all propaganda.
@@gianthills And you are a typical troll. Thanks for helping the algorithms of the Democracy Now! videos by hanging out here…
@@Erschophone get a dictionary, far left fool.
@@Erschophone If a "typical propagandist" or a "typical troll" aligns with average or ordinary performance, I probably disagree. If the professor was attempting propaganda, he falls short. If gianthills is trolling, those mere five words free of any punctuation are exceptional. And yes, anything we say boosts Goodman's status on this platform.
"You can tell because of the all CAPS" 😂🤣
And these people think they're journalists and scholars
@@jeupater1429 I just came here to see what all the Communist are saying. 😁
If Trump doesn't know anything about it, how can he have an opinion of the things in it? He's such a liar.
Great documentary!
Are you simple?
What's a "battle box"? is it like a "Thunderdome" kinda thing? "Two geezers enter, one geezer leaves!" Why was I not informed?
Patsy, Patsy, Patsy….Patsy
JD Vance with the ultimate Gaslighting
I'll forever dislike Ron Howard for propping him up
@@adamazzalino5247 "propping him up"? LOL
as in??? or do you know what gaslighting is?
@@LizZee-uj7ty Wow, must be a slow day for you collecting donations at the Fascists for Sadism collective.
Robinson reminds me of Dave Chappelle's character Clayton Bigsby 😂
Robinson needs to check himself!! This should never be in a public speech ever!!!
J D Vance forgot what Trump has been doing for last 9 years
Which is what?
@@typheran1Sleep well, boy.
@@optimistx4187 you can’t answer a simple question or your answer cant hold up to scrutiny? Which is it?
Thank you Amy Goodman/Democracy Now! for every day excellent journalism!
That signature "drunk at the end of the bar" speaking style as Heritage keynote speaker.
Thank you Jeff Sharlet. Thank you Amy.
trump deranged far left
Let me get my shoes 😂😂😂
LOL
A little left of the gov. lies of MSNBC and CNN.
and FOX and CBS too. But I’d say much further left than all of them. that’s why we like this channel.
Yet the Republican news networks are just as guilty but worse
Well said Jeff Sharlet: a new low for the republican party!
Jeff is exactly right
Thanks for this piece, Amy.
communism won't happen
Amy's reporting has gone off the rails since Trump came to office.
She is not longer objective or accurate.
Thank you for having the courage to say what apparently I cannot!!!
yes, more idiocy about trump and fascism
Rfk jr still without protection from US secret service
He's barely in the race! Where is he? What rallies has he held? No one is taking notice if him and he hasn't met the threshold like all the other people still in the race without protection.
@@jilliancopeland6825 RFK Jr. is polling between 8% and 22%, depending on the polling firm. Biden regime refuses to provide him with Secret Service protection. This forces his campaign to spend its money on a private security detail.
@@jilliancopeland6825 Incorrect! RFK Jr's polling GREATLY EXCEEDED the threshold to receive Secret Service protection, but Secretary Mayorkas blocked it, in defiance of both law and historical policy.
@@energyscholar no other minor candidate has recieved secret service this early in the campaign but I'm sure you will be happy to know that Biden has ordered secret service to protect RFK jr following what happened to Trump.
The elite two party system of rich men has little time or money for other candidates. We need a new system.
Amber Rose isn’t the founder of ONLYFANS 10:50
JD Vance himself called Trump “American Hitler” before Vance decided he actually loves 45.
and you are known as bugs bunny
@@gianthills I’m ok with that ;)
Thank you for speaking on this!
I wonder if we're going to see a photo of Trump's ear?
I saw he had an envelope over the ear.
LOL
Biden calling for peace, while he sent$ weapons and support to Ucraine😂
Protection of human rights, male and female should be every States only 1st priority then everything else is put in place to support it... not the other way around
Where does that leave LGBTQ people who do not fit into simplistic categories of gender and sex
@@rowanmurphy4986 They are human too.
The Heritage Foundation, if I remember correctly, was begun in part at a rightwing think tank connected with the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, CA around 1980.
Wheres the part where they all simultaneously recited the non existent "fathers prayer" lmao
Jeff's brilliant, that's simply a fact
You need to get your head out of the clouds of theory Jeff. The responsibility to assume blame for reckless rhetoric is on everyone across the top and you know it. Maybe go wash dishes and live a blue collar life for a year and see how it changes your view on things
And Trump understands blue collar?
@@honorhonor3352with tens of thousands in regular turnout at those rallys I’d say so
Great guest!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Can hardly watch this. What happened to your show Amy?
This episode exposes just how fascist Trump and his MAGA sycophants are. Do you have a problem with that? Are you worshiping a wannabe dictator,
It was suborned by the Military Industrial Complex establishment.

1:19
Are you triggered by having your authoritarian idol exposed?
As an individual that has bartended 4 events where trump was present.... I call bs🤷🏾♂️
Spot on.
Great book
I like the show called: Constitutional Republic Now!
Our constitutional republic is a representative democracy. For now. Should call the show Democracy For Now.
@@RhythmiconsDemocracy When?
I like to hear alternative news sources, but this is so far left that I'm unable to continue.
That was a good book!
The problem with J. D. Vance's statement thhat the "rhetoric" was juat the truth.
Nah.... it is that JD Vance is an awful person of bad character who has embraced intellectual dishonesty and moral bankruptcy as a way-of-being. He is clearly anti-democracy and pro-fascist.
So well put professor! I 100% agree. Thank you.
Democracy Now !
Feels like I'm watching msnbc. I like it more when you guys have guests on with more bipartisan analysis
Who are you kidding? You've never watched MSNBC a day in your life, much less enough to know any patterns they may have.
This guy is such a Democrat no remorse just the usual liberal talking points just a shameful interview Amy shame on you , it’s people like this guy that cause such hatred, they are so arrogant such a shock he works for Vanity fair this interview just turns my stomach
@@annettemacdonald9192 Another no-activity pro-fascist sleeper channel bot from 2011. Interesting they all have female names.
@@annettemacdonald9192 I guess the Republicans are such unifiers?
The American right has been creating division since at least the times of Newt Gingrich. There's no equivalency here. 99% of this division has come from right-wing propaganda. Calling out this violent authoritarian rhetoric is not creating division. The right has already created the division.
I like Biden's optimism, but this is far gone out of control and legislating and leading as "business as usual" is no longer working out😒😒😒
excellent interview . Very insightful
Thomas Matthew Crooks was associated with BlackRock
BLACKROCK- THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE RUN BY THE WEF AND OWN BIDEN AND HIS CIRCUS
I've been reading some information about them, I'm just curious how is that connected to what he did, I'm seriously asking I want to know what people are thinking.
@@artoffacts96 Attempts to investigate this connection have been blocked. FBI announced "Lone gunman no conspiracy" without investigating the shooter's Blackrock connections. FBI also did this without explaining where the LADDER came from. FBI is already engaged in a coverup.
@@artoffacts96 its not
You can post any kind of nonsense on CZcams as long as it's total nonsense and not serious.
I’m NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING YOUR REPORTING ON RIGHT HERE!!! All deleted!!! Where are my 1st amendment rights???
I think you have go blame yt, as always.
CZcams is removing my comments faster than I can post.
They keep on doxing me for 24 hours. Now they monitor EVERY KEYSTROKE.
At least three of your comments are visible.
This station has become a anti Trump show
It’s a biased sleazy anti western anti white identity-Marxist grifter propaganda channel… it can be a useful source of alternative perspective, but people who watch this type of programming exclusively, become obnoxiously neurotic & dangerously ill informed.
Duh, the show is called Democracy Now!
Trump is anti democracy, so yes they're rightfully anti Trump as should all Americans be.
@@dontbmadjusbcareful lmao
Another one?
Half the USA has only one news source to rely on now!
The beast has risen lol.
That black gentleman doesn't need a sandwich. I can tell you that for sure!
He says with a smirk on his face. I will never believe he cares.
Refer to PROJECT 2025. ✋
Noticed that the felon has said nothing to the dead guy's family. Also, don't think he's expressed any sympathy or mentions the man at all in any public statement either, has he?
He did right away.
Damn, man. I’m not even American & I know this.
What are you, some kind of bot!?
@@EyeGodZA A statement written by someone else but not one verbal statement from the actual mouth of the felon.
@@BDot-dv7lq bot for sure, or just a normal Democrat who thinks this was staged in a way to help Trump
@@EyeGodZAthey are delusional and they believe lies Non-Stop and never investigate anything
@@BDot-dv7lqand it's so funny you said Fallon even though you would be guilty of those misdemeanors which would be one misdemeanor for any average person but you would be guilty of those as well because most people have cheated and his 34 felonies are from paying Stormy Daniels 34 times. But you wouldn't know that you really wouldn't. I'm sure you think it's because he beat up some black dude or something. But you guys don't investigate anything ever. Another saying is your party is just alleging that it was a Ghost Rider that wrote the statement to the family of the deceased. And the thing is let's say someone did write it for him probably because Trump just got shot in the ear and he was in the hospital and he spoke to the writer to write what he said. You guys are just far too delusional
Some folks need less barbeque
Roberson is evil, is he taking about himself? Sounds like.
Nothing to says about Thomas Crooks?
Yes, he was a violent right-wing nutjob. He wanted fame going out in flames assassinating his king.
@@visionaerieyes, to vote for Nikkei Haley!
@@annetoronto5474 Ok and how do you know that?
@@visionaerie He donated to the Democrats. Possibly registered Republican for access.
@@ChaseSanchez-ym6eb because I registered as Democrat to vote for the other guy and not Gavin Newsome here in California Primary's. These states have stupid voting laws like I have to register as a Democrat to vote for the Democrat I despise less. It's also a common thing for young politically motivated morons to do.
The Truth will not be censored. Not by you or anyone else!
What truth? Explain it please.
Amy is great, the partisan weasel as a guest not so much.
Heritage Foundation also gave us Romneycare, blueprint for Obamacare's insurance mandate.
Don't say that out loud. The Heritage Foundation being a bipartisan platform will skew the narrative.
These, GEN Z are restless and tired of older suppose to be responsible, adults 😢
That’s because a lot of them are in suits and not ordinary clothes like everybody else.
Considering Juan Gonzalez's & Amy Goodmans Age ? Who the hell are you talking about ?!...Not that I care about their age either but, you make no sense !
OMGoodness, Folks! We have so much work to do and Lord, I heard that Sean O'Brien of the Teamsters was the key note speaker at the RNC last night. Let's hope that the DNC invites him to speak there because he rocked the RNC.
I’m not even allowed to say what your reporting on!! It gets deleted!!!
CZcams got a new CEO last year. Not sure if that’s why the deletions keep happening, but..
"Near the ear"

TRUMP/GUANTANAMO 4 YEARS AGO
Good thing the kid was not a marksmen non?
They don't even come outside, any more 😢
I think the most saddest and ironic part of this whole thing, is that they continue to use the tragedy of what happened to Trump, to sew more seeds of division.
No motive? I thought that was clear.
he knew about the Reagan effect & was trying to help trump win, right? See.. 2 people can play the assume anything game
Rise Humanity rise.
Rise up from all of the lies.
Rise up to clarity, let go of old ideology.
Humanity is one big family!
What injures you injures me.
It is time that we become free,
and trust our own guide from within and begin;
to heal Humanity as a whole,
joining each other soul to soul.
Namaste.

Jeff Sharlet - phew. What democracy, mate?
I hate to say it but that picture doesn’t inspire anything in me.
the mandate for leadership has existed since 1981. while it is dangerous and a framework for authoritarianism, presenting it as a new idea seems like fear mongering.
So far left its sad. I used to love this news outlet.
Not far left. They don’t call for the abolition of capitalism.
You're blue MAGA
I dont care what Sleepy Joe has to say on the matter of the shooting.
Second, did the reporter say "near the ear"? 😂😂. Or meant on the ear?
Third, calling Trump a fascist and pro-violent is very stupid on someones part. Did yall forget Trump has already been president?? And we, the citizens of this country the U.S., have never seen that from him!!
Im even Mexican and I support him! I didnt agree with his "Mexico will pay for the wall", in which they didnt 😂 but the U.S. economy was doing pretty well under his presidency!!
He is a fascist,
Let's see what you have to say when they are rounding you up, putting you in camps, and deporting you, if they don't kill you.
That is what Trump is. He loves other fascists and fawns all over them. Hi speech is fascistic. He spreads hate and lies every time he talks. He tried to overturn a free and fair election. You're in a cult.
Because you support him does not mean that he is a liar and a thief. Your support does not change who he is.
He said Trump got an earful.
9:12. TBH, this clip of Trump sounds to me like an uniformed pol doing a poor job reading off a teleprompter what his handlers wrote for him to say. I bet he’s read none of it before hand and has only the slightest notion of who the Heritage foundation really is
He sounds as informed there as he ever has on anything.

Rhetoric
What is this guy smoking??
Shalet missing the big picture. Most candidates receive a point or maybe 1.5 point post-convention bump. Pundits should brace themselves for a 4 or maybe even 5 point bump for Trump after the convention.
No, Trump has used so much negative language that it not going swing the Independent voters. People believe or not have already made up their minds. He not going to get much of bump. This will energize his base but that not enough to win.
Even now after the debate Trump lead has totally evaporated.
