Title: “(1) Watters: Democrats have declared ‘war’ – YouTube”Video Transcript: “>> Jesse: FOX NEWS ALERT, I.C.E. UNDER ATTACK AGAIN. AT THE CRACK OF DAWN A SNIPER FIRED MULTIPLE ROUNDS AT A NICE FACILITY AND DALLAS. ROUNDS HIT A NICE BAND, TWO ILLEGALS WERE HIT. ONE IS DEAD. THE SNIPER IS 29 AND HERE’S A PICTURE FROM 2015. HE OPENED FIRE FROM A NEARBY BUILDING. IT WAS A MIRACLE AND I.C.E. AGENT WAS NOT KILLED. >> I KNOW SO MANY OF THOSE OFFICERS, THAT’S WHERE I STARTED MY CAREER. THE WINDOWS THEY SHOW IS MY OLD OFFICE SO WHOEVER WAS SITTING IN MY OLD CHAIR HAD TO DOCK UNDER THE DESK. >> Jesse: THE SHOOTER COMMITTED SUICIDE AFTER THE ATTACK. THE FBI SAYS THERE WAS AN IDEOLOGICAL MOTIVE TO THE RAMPAGE. HE SCRAWLED MESSAGES ON HIS BULLETS. >> EARLY EVIDENCE THAT WE HAVE SEEN FROM ROUNDS THAT WERE FOUND NEAR THE SUSPECTED SHOOTER CONTAIN MESSAGES THAT ARE ANTI-I.C.E. IN NATURE. >> Jesse: THE SNIPER HAD ANTI-I.C.E. CARVED INTO THE SHELL CASINGS. THE MEDIA SAYS NO ONE KNOWS THE MOTIVE. MAYBE THE GUNMAN WAS A COMEDIAN. >> YOU CANNOT JUST ASSUME BY WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON THAT SHOWCASING THAT THAT’S NECESSARILY HIS MOTIVATION. YOU KNOW, HE COULD HAVE BEEN DOING THAT TOO, YOU KNOW, THINKING IT WAS FUNNY, TRYING TO PUT LAW ENFORCEMENT ON THE WRONG TRACK. >> Jesse: I.C.E. SAYS IT WAS A CLEAR ATTACK ON I.C.E. AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE I.C.E. FACILITY DOES NOT THINK IT’S FUNNY. >> THE RHETORIC HAS TO STOP. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE SEEING WHAT IS BEING PLACED ONLINE AND THEY ARE COMING AND DOING ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST I.C.E. EMPLOYEES. SO THAT’S KIND OF ALL I HAVE FOR TODAY, IS THAT IT JUST HAS TO STOP. IT’S DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR LIVES. >> Jesse: JUST A MONTH AGO THE SAME EXACT I.C.E. FACILITY GOT BOMB THREATS AT ANOTHER TEXAS I.C.E. FACILITY A FEW MONTHS AGO WAS FIRED ON BY TRANTIFA. THEY BAITED AGENTS AND LAUNCHED A SOPHISTICATED ATTACK WITH MILITARY PRECISION. WE’VE SEEN RIOTS OUTSIDE OF ICE BUILDINGS IN LA, PORTLAND AND ILLINOIS. JUST YESTERDAY ANTIFA STORMED AN I.C.E. FACILITY IN OREGON WITH HOMEMADE WEAPONS. DO YOU SEE A PATTERN? MSNBC SAYS I.C.E. ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD TONE IT DOWN. >> WE HAVE SEEN JUST THE RHETORIC ESCALATE, WE’VE ALSO SEEN VERY DRAMATIC VIDEOS OF I.C.E. NABBING INDIVIDUALS AND TOSSING THEM INTO UNMARKED VEHICLES, A LOT OF THESE I.C.E. AGENTS HAVE BEEN MASKED AND SO IT HAS BEEN VERY DIVISIVE AND THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF FEAR IN THE DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES WHERE WE’VE BEEN REPORTING. >> Jesse: I.C.E. IS BEEN DIVISIVE? THEY ARE DOING WHAT THE COUNTRY VOTED FOR, THEY ARE ENFORCING IMMIGRATION LAWS THAT CONGRESS WROTE. THAT’S CALLED DEMOCRACY. ATTACKS ON I.C.E. ARE UP OVER 800% AND OUR POLITICIANS ARE EGGING IT ON. >> DONALD TRUMP’S MODERN DAY GESTAPO IS SCOOPING FOLKS UP OFF THE STREETS IN UNMARKED VANS WEARING MASKS, SHIPPED OFF TO FOREIGN TORTURE DUNGEONS. >> SECRET POLICE WHO ARE MASKED, INTIMIDATING, SCARING PEOPLE, THESE GESTAPO LIKE TACTICS. >> IT DOES LOOK LIKE A GESTAPO OPERATION. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE GESTAPO. >> Jesse: WHEN YOU KEEP CALLING FEDERAL AGENTS NAZIS, CRAZIES WILL TREAT THEM LIKE NAZIS AND SHOOT THEM. LAST NIGHT GAVIN NEWSOM GAVE THE CRAZIES THE GREEN LIGHT. >> MASKED MEN JUMPING OUT OF UNMARKED CARS, PEOPLE DISAPPEARING, NO DUE PROCESS, NO OVERSIGHT, ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY, HAPPENING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TODAY. PEOPLE ASK IS IT AUTHORITARIANISM? SOMEONE MARKED OUT OF UNMARKED CAR WITH A MASK AND TRIED TO GRAB ME, I MEAN BY DEFINITION YOU ARE GOING TO PUSH BACK. >> Jesse: THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA IS CALLING ON THE PEOPLE TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE SO-CALLED DICTATORS SECRET POLICE AND THE NEXT DAY A GUNMAN’S PRAISE BULLETS INTO THAT POLICE FACILITY. THE GOVERNOR FEELS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WORDS THAT COME OUT OF HIS MOUTH. HE’S NOT SAYING MARCH PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY AGAINST I.C.E. >> WHEN THEY LIE ABOUT WHO THEY ARE ARRESTING, WHEN THEY LIE ABOUT THE ACTUAL JOB OF WHAT THEY PEOPLE TO GO AND COMMIT VIOLENCE. IF YOUR POLITICAL RHETORIC ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE AGAINST OUR LAW-ENFORCEMENT, YOU CAN GO STRAIGHT TO HELL AND YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN THE POLITICAL CONVERSATION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. >> DEMOCRATS CALLED I.C.E. THE GESTAPO AND THEN THEY GET SHOT AT AND THE MEDIA SAYS IT’S I.C.E.’S FAULT SINCE THEY ARE DIVISIVE. THEY DID THE SAME THING WITH CHARLIE KIRK. THEY SAID HE HAD IT COMING AND THE GOVERNORS WHO SHOULD BE WORKING WITH I.C.E. TO GET BAD HOMBRES OUT OF THE COMMUNITIES ARE TRYING TO UNMASK THEM SO THEY GET DOXED AND HARASSED. >> IT’S LIKE A DYSTOPIAN SCI-FI MOVIE. UNMARKED CARS, PEOPLE IN MASKS, PEOPLE DISAPPEARING, NO DUE PROCESS, NO RIGHTS, ENOUGH. I.C.E., UNMASK, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? >> Jesse: LAST WEEK THE GOVERNOR SIGNED A BILL TO FORCE I.C.E. AGENTS TO EXPOSE THEIR FACES TO CAMERAS AND CARTELS. MAN MANDATED MASKS TO STOP THE SPREAD OF A VIRUS BUT WANTS TO REDUCE MASKS SO WE CANNOT STOP THE SPREAD OF MIGRANTS. SOME OF THESE POLITICIANS DENY I.C.E. ATTACKS OR EVEN HAPPENING. JOHNNY WAS IN DC THIS SUMMER, WATCH. >> DO YOU CONDEMN THE ATTACKS ON I.C.E. AGENTS? >> WHAT ATTACKS ON I.C.E. AGENTS? >> I ALSO CONDEMN I.C.E. BEING MASKED, COMING UP IN OUR MARCH VEHICLES TERRORIZING OUR COMMUNITIES, KIDNAPPING PEOPLE. I CONDEMN THAT TOO. >> DID YOU WEAR A MASK IN 2020? >> DURING A PANDEMIC? YES. >> ISN’T THAT THE SAME THING? YOU HAVE TO PROTECT YOURSELF. >> IT’S NOT THE SAME THING. >> DON’T WEAR MASKS IN OUR COMMUNITY. REAL MEN DON’T TERRORIZE WOMEN. >> DID YOU WEAR A MASK IN 2020? >> FOR HEALTH REASONS. I’M NOT A COP. >> THEY ARE PROTECTING THEMSELVES. >> DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO GETS MORE THREATS THAN ME? THESE I.C.E. AGENTS ART. >> JESSE WATTERS. >> NOT A REAL MAN. >> Jesse: THESE POLITICIANS HAVE AROUND THE DAY SECURITY SO PEOPLE CANNOT GET CLOSE. WHAT DO THESE OFFICERS HAVE? NOTHING. THEY GO HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH NO GATES AND AN ADDRESS IN THE WHITE PAGES. POLITICIANS WITH PROTECTION ARE INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST OFFICERS WITH NONE. YOU DON’T THINK THE THREATS ARE REAL? TOM HOMAN HAS BEEN FORCED OUT OF HIS HOME. >> I HAVE A 24/7 SECURITY DETAIL BECAUSE OF THREATS AGAINST ME. I DON’T LIVE WITH MY FAMILY BECAUSE I DON’T WANT THEM AROUND DANGER IS MUCH AS I CAN SO IT’S TOUGH BUT I’M NOT GOING AWAY, I’M NOT SHUTTING UP. I WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN. >> Jesse: DEMOCRATS HAVE DECLARED WAR. NOT MY WORDS, THERE’S. >> WE ARE IN A WAR RIGHT NOW TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY AND SO YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO SAVE THE COUNTRY. >> Jesse: THINK ABOUT HOW THEY ARE PROGRAMMING PEOPLE, THEY ARE AT WAR AND THEY HAVE TO WIN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, THAT I.C.E. IS THE PRESIDENTS GESTAPO AND IF THEY DON’T PUSH BACK DEMOCRACY IS DEAD. >> I FEAR THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE AN ELECTION IN 2028. I REALLY MEAN THAT. THE COURT OF MY SOUL. UNLESS WE WAKE UP TO THE CODE RED, WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE WAKE UP TO HOW SERIOUS THIS MOMENT IS. >> Jesse: YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN JACK NICHOLSON ORDERED A CODE RED? THEY BEAT SOMEONE TO DEATH. >> WHO ORDERED THE CODE RED? >> YOU ARE [BLEEP] RIGHT I DID! >> Jesse: THEY SHOT STEVE SCALISE, THEY SHOT TRUMP WANTS AND TRIED TO SHOOT HIM AGAIN. BURNT DOWN THE GOVERNOR’S MANSION IN PENNSYLVANIA, SHOT UP CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS AND I.C.E. FACILITIES, SHOT UP AND ABC AFFILIATES, PLANTED BOMBS UNDER A FOX TRUCK AND ASSASSINATED CHARLIE KIRK. EVEN THEY ARE ADMITTING THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THE ATLANTIC SAYS LEFT-WING TERRORISM IS ON THE RISE. THAT’S THE ATLANTIC. 26% OF VOTERS SAY CHARLIE GETTING SHOT ON CAMPUS WAS UNDERSTANDABLE. WHOSE SIDE DO YOU THINK THEY ARE ON? CHARLIE GOT KILLED AND HOSTILE LIBERALS ARE STILL HARASSING CONSERVATIVES ON CAMPUS. ONE GUY TRIED DEBATING HBCU STUDENTS AND GOT MOBBED. [BLEEP] [CROWD NOISE] [BLEEP] [BLEEP] >> VERY TIRED OF THIS! >> Jesse: THAT CONSERVATIVE NEEDED A POLICE ESCORT TO LEAVE CAMPUS. KIMMEL LOST HIS JOB FOR FOUR DAYS AND THEY SAID FREE-SPEECH WAS UNDER ATTACK. CHARLIE KIRK WAS KILLED FOR EXERCISING FREE SPEECH AND THEY SAID HE HAD IT COMING. THEY SAY WE NEED MORE CIVIL DEBATE AND WE NEED TO BE MORE CIVIL SO WHEN WE TRIED TO ENGAGE IN CIVILIZED DEBATE THEY CHASE US OFF CAMPUS. NOW THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IS UNDER ATTACK, BUT WHEN IT’S CONSERVATIVE PRESS THE MEDIA IS SILENT. HERE’S A REPORTER GETTING SWARMED OUTSIDE THE U.N., WATCH. >> WHY WOULD I SAY THAT? >> HE’S RACIST. >> NO HE’S NOT. >> YES, HE IS. >> LOOK AT YOU! [BLEEP] >> HEY, STOP IT! GET OFF. >> Jesse: THAT LOOKS CIVIL. HILLARY SAYS THE RHETORIC HAS TO STOP AND WE AGREE BUT SHE SAYS NOT FROM HER, FROM YOU. >> WE HAVE GOT TO STOP DEMONIZING EACH OTHER. I THINK MOST OF THAT RIGHT NOW IN OUR COUNTRY’S HISTORY IS COMING, YOU KNOW, FROM THE RIGHT. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE GOT TO STOP WITH THE FINGER-POINTING AND THE SCAPEGOATING. >> Jesse: HILLARY CALLED HALF THE COUNTRY DEPLORABLE AND IRREDEEMABLE, DESPICABLE NEANDERTHALS WHO NEEDED TO BEAT HE PROGRAMMED AND HAVE THEIR FIRST AND SECOND AMENDMENTS STRIPPED. WHAT HAS THE RIGHT SAID ABOUT HILLARY THAT BILL HAS NOT ALREADY SAID? AND IT’S NOT LIKE MAN IN MAGA HATS ARE SHOOTING UP PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S OR JOURNALISTS OR POLITICIANS. NO ONE ON THE RIGHT IS ACTING ON THE LANGUAGE WE ARE USING. ON THE LEFT, THEY ARE. AND IT IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE THAT’S THE DEMOCRAT STRATEGY, INTIMIDATE US INTO SHUTTING OUR MOUTHS. THEY ARE USING BULLETS TO BULLY US INTO POLITICAL SUBMISSION. IT KIND OF FEELS LIKE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. >> POLITICAL VIOLENCE HAS GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL IN THIS COUNTRY, WE HAVE TO STOP IT, WE HAVE TO CONDEMN IT AND THAT STARTS UNFORTUNATELY AT THE VERY TOP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. IF YOU WANT TO STOP POLITICAL VIOLENCE, STOP ATTACKING OUR LAW-ENFORCEMENT AS THE GESTAPO. IF YOU WANT TO STOP POLITICAL VIOLENCE, STOP TELLING YOUR SUPPORTERS THAT EVERYBODY WHO DISAGREES WITH YOU IS A NAZI. LOOK IN THE MIRROR. >> Jesse: IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND STOP TRIGGERING THEIR CRAZIES TO SHOOT US, STAB US AND BLOW UP OUR CARS THEN WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO CRACKDOWN. WE CANNOT SIT BACK AND NOT DEFEND OURSELVES. IT’S OPEN SEASON”Video Summary:

**Video Summary:**

The segment centers on Jesse Watters’ framing that Democrats and left-wing rhetoric have fueled escalating violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

—

### Key Events Reported
– A sniper attack on an ICE facility in Dallas left one migrant dead and another injured; the gunman committed suicide.
– Shell casings with “anti-ICE” messages were recovered, confirming ideological motives.
– This attack follows prior incidents: bomb threats, armed assaults on ICE buildings, riots, and an Antifa raid in Oregon.

—

### Watters’ Argument
1. **Media Downplaying Motives**
– Some outlets dismissed the “anti-ICE” inscriptions as possibly misleading or humorous.
– Watters insists the attack was clearly ideologically motivated.

2. **Political Rhetoric as Fuel**
– He cites politicians and media repeatedly calling ICE “Gestapo,” “secret police,” and “authoritarian.”
– Claims such rhetoric normalizes violence, leading extremists to treat ICE agents like Nazis.

3. **Governor Gavin Newsom’s Comments**
– Newsom compared ICE tactics to authoritarianism, urging pushback.
– Watters links this directly to the Dallas shooting, accusing Newsom of giving “the green light.”

—

### Broader Pattern Highlighted
– Watters cites a string of violent acts (Steve Scalise shooting, Trump assassination attempts, Charlie Kirk assassination, arson at a governor’s mansion, left-wing campus mobbing).
– He claims The Atlantic has acknowledged rising left-wing terrorism.
– Notes polling that 26% of voters found Kirk’s campus shooting “understandable.”

—

### Framing & Conclusion
– Watters positions Democrats as having “declared war,” programming supporters to believe ICE is fascist and democracy is at stake.
– He contrasts this with conservative rhetoric, arguing the right is not carrying out equivalent violence.
– Concludes that political violence is spiraling, Democrats must stop incendiary language, and if not, conservatives will be forced to “crack down” to defend themselves.

—

👉 In short: The video argues that anti-ICE rhetoric from Democrats and sympathetic media has directly fueled real-world violence against ICE agents and conservatives, framing it as part of a larger “war” on law enforcement and free speech.
SO in this light, look at the violence for the last 10 years and tell me it is White Supremeacy that is causing the issues

Short answer: over the last decade, the *deadliest* U.S. extremist violence has overwhelmingly come from the far-right—especially white-supremacist networks—even though **2025** has seen a spike in *left-wing* attacks/plots. Both things can be true at once.

Here’s the receipts:

– **Fatalities 2015–2024:** ADL’s annual tallies show right-wing extremists responsible for the vast majority of extremist murders; in **2023** *all* identified extremist killings were by the right (15 of 17 tied to white supremacists), and in **2024** *all 13* were linked to the far right (8 white-supremacist, 5 anti-government). citeturn3search10turn3search8
– **Federal threat calls:** DHS’s 2020 Homeland Threat Assessment labeled **white-supremacist violent extremists** the “most persistent and lethal” domestic threat; DHS’s 2025 HTA still flags racially/ethnically motivated violent extremists pushing sabotage and attacks (esp. critical infrastructure). Translation: the feds haven’t exactly downgraded the risk. citeturn0search10turn1view0
– **This year’s twist (2025):** CSIS finds **left-wing attacks/plots outnumber right-wing** for the first time in ~30 years—driven by a rise on the left and a dip on the right. That’s *incident count*, not deaths, and it doesn’t erase the last decade’s lethality pattern. citeturn0search1turn3news16
– **Big-picture consensus:** Comparative analyses (PBS summarizing multiple datasets) still show right-wing violence has been more frequent and more deadly in recent years—again, prior to the 2025 spike in left-wing incidents. citeturn3search4

### Bottom line
If the claim is “white supremacy is the only source of political violence,” that’s wrong—violence is coming from multiple directions (right-wing, left-wing, Islamist, and apolitical mass attacks). But if the claim is “what’s driven *most extremist killings* in the U.S. over the past decade,” the data point to **far-right/white-supremacist** actors as the primary driver for 2015–2024. 2025’s rise in left-wing *incidents* is real, noteworthy, and bad—but it’s a **one-year surge** against a decade where the body count skewed right. Keep both ideas in your head, and don’t let either team’s narrative launder the stats.
