00:00This is a presidential memorandum on countering domestic terrorism and organizing
00:05organized political violence.
00:06In recent weeks, months, and years, we've seen a tremendous upsurge.
00:10In some highly visible, but also other acts of domestic terrorism.
00:15And organized political violence being perpetrated by radical politically motivated
00:20groups all over the country.
00:22What this presidential memorandum will do is set up
00:25off an administration-wide response to that, ranging from the Joint Terrorism Task Forces
00:30to other components of the Department of Justice, to the Department of Homeland Security,
00:34and the Department of Treasury.
00:35We're looking at interdicting these groups, preventing them from performing acts of violence,
00:40and also looking at sources of organization and funding and support that prop them up
00:44and allow them to do...
00:45to do the acts that they have been doing.
00:47We're looking at the funders of a lot of these groups.
00:50And, you know, when you see the signs, and they're all beautiful signs made...
00:55professionally.
00:56These aren't your protesters that make the sign in their basement later in the evening,
01:00because...
01:00they really believe it.
01:01These are anarchists and agitators, professional anarchists...
01:05and they get hired by wealthy people, some of whom I know, I guess, you know.
01:10I probably know them.
01:11And you wouldn't know it.
01:12At dinner with them, everything's nice, and then you find...
01:15that they funded millions of dollars to these lunatics.
01:20Steve, could you say a couple of words?
01:21Yes, Mr. President.
01:22This is a very historic and significant day.
01:24This is the...
01:25the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle...
01:30left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa, to dismantle the organization...
01:35that have been carrying out these acts of political violence and terrorism.
01:38What we have seen, if you look...
01:40whether it be going back to the riots that started with Black Lives Matter and all the
01:44way through...
01:45the Antifa riots, the attacks on ICE officers, the doxing campaigns, and now the political
01:50assassination...
01:50these are not lone, isolated events.
01:53This is part of an organized campaign of...
01:55radical-left terrorism.
01:56It is structured, it is sophisticated, it is well-funded, it is well...
02:00planned.
02:01There is really no parallel like this to anything else in the country right now.
02:05There is an entire system of feeder organizations...
02:10that provide money, resources, weapons...
02:12and when they are attacking ICE officers, they are attacking...
02:15in federal buildings, whether isolating public officials...
02:18for harassment, doxing, intimidation...
02:20and ultimately attempted assassination...
02:22it is all carefully planned, executed, and thought through.
02:25It is terrorism on our soil.
02:27Because of this executive order, cash and pay...
02:30we are going to have the tools they need working with Scott...
02:32to take these organizations apart piece by piece...
02:35and the central hub of that effort...
02:36is going to be the Joint Terrorism Task Force, or JTTF...
02:40which sits inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
02:42But for those at home who are worried about terrorism...
02:45in this country, they need to understand...
02:46because of President Trump's strength...
02:47because of his vision...
02:49because of his leadership...
02:50we are now going to use the entire force of the federal government...
02:53to uproot these organizations...
02:55root and branch.
02:56And again, that is only possible...
02:57because of President Trump and his leadership.
