การเมือง · California remarksTrump promises to protect LA and San Diego after Iran remarks trigger threat monitoringเขียน 8 ตุลาคม 2569 เวลา 19:08 UTCรับชมบทถอดเสียง0:09Trump now promises to protect the cities he named in his disputed Iran remarks.0:14Los Angeles and San Diego together have more than 5 million residents.0:17His earlier language prompted California to order precautionary threat monitoring0:21and drew objections from a Republican candidate he endorsed.0:25What has actually changed, the president's assurance, California's security0:28response, or the evidence of a threat?0:31Trump has explicitly said the United States will protect both cities.0:35That assurance does not retract his earlier words, announce a new defense measure,0:39or establish that California has ended its monitoring.0:42Trump named the cities on October 5th.0:44Governor Gavin Newsom ordered monitoring on October 6th.0:48Trump delivered his protective assurance on October 7th, not October 8th.0:52The later date marks its publication, not the Texas speech.0:56The reassurance came at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio during a rally for1:00Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton.1:03Trump again invoked the hypothetical danger of a missile hitting San Diego or Los1:07Angeles.1:08then said he would prevent it.1:10We're not gonna let that happen.1:12We protect our cities, we protect our country.1:15Those words add an explicit commitment to protection.1:18They do not settle what Trump privately intended in the earlier passage.1:21The earlier passage moved from higher wartime costs to a city being destroyed, then1:26repeated the language of a small price.1:28That sequences why the dispute cannot be explained by quoting only the city names or1:32only the economic argument.1:33Trump spoke at the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center at Fauner Park in Grand Island on1:37October 5.1:38The speech lasted nearly an hour and a half.1:40His scheduled start was 6 p.m.1:42Central.1:42The disputed sentence's exact clock time is unverified.1:46Trump was discussing the Iran war, economic costs, and preventing Iran from1:50obtaining a nuclear weapon.1:51He described costs as a little bit high, then said, it's a small price to pay for1:56keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe.1:59He then changed the subject of the sentence to a city.2:01They can take out a city.2:03The city references followed immediately, with verbal restarts, before he again2:07described a very small price.2:09He said, Let them take let them take out Los Angeles.2:12Let them take out San Diego.2:14That's this is a very small price to pay.2:16The wording names both cities.2:18It does not establish a concrete policy to allow an attack.2:21Shorter versions substitute him for them and omit the restarts.2:25Neither changes which cities he named.2:27Some attendees clapped and cheered, including at the city references.2:31That response does not establish the views of everyone at the rally.2:34Trump wanted a tremendous victory to verify what the United States had done.2:38He called the conflict essentially almost over with and predicted an end very soon,2:42one way or the other.2:43Those were assertions and predictions, not established outcomes.2:46He also allowed that Iran might continue longer because of its big threshold for2:49pain.2:50He subsequently linked the war's end to gas and gasoline prices and mentioned2:54Venezuelan oil.2:55None of that establishes that the conflict ended.2:58The White House's defense was a counterfactual.3:00Trump meant the danger a nuclear-armed Iran would have posed, not an endorsement of3:05attacks.3:05Communications director Stephen Chung rejected the criticism.3:09His name is Stephen Chung, not Stephen Chung.3:12The administration also characterized the passage as separate thoughts, but the3:15actual sequence remains.3:17Economic cost language, city references, repeated price language.3:21The sequence explains the competing interpretations.3:23It cannot conclusively establish private intent.3:26Chung also asserted that Iran had no nuclear, no navy, no air force, and no money.3:31Those sweeping claims are not independently established here.3:34Trump initially gave no clarification when questioned twice the following day,3:38leaving the White House and returning from Baltimore.3:40No operational Iranian nuclear weapon or verified intercontinental ballistic missile3:45capable of reaching the U.S.3:46mainland is established.3:48Earlier defense assessments described Iran as lacking a direct mainland missile3:52capability, but their officials and dates were unspecified.3:55That does not prove every attack impossible.3:58The president's language was not an established intelligence disclosure.4:02A hypothetical nuclear danger is not proof of an operational weapon.4:06A confirmed launch capability or an imminent attack.4:09Newsom directed the State Threat Assessment Center to monitor possible threats on4:13October 6th.4:14His concern was that foreign actors might interpret Trump's language as an4:18invitation.4:19The directive identified no specific Iranian plot or attack.4:22California's alert system was also elevated, but no technical alert level, duration,4:27or termination is established, nor is a subsequent assessment finding.4:31Ordering monitoring does not mean a credible attack has been discovered, or that4:35monitoring has found nothing.4:36Newsom called Trump deranged and dangerous, then described the remarks as dangerous,4:42if not treasonous.4:43These were political denunciations, not a medical diagnosis or a legal finding of4:48treason.4:49His descriptions of occupation and an invitation to attack were also4:52characterizations.4:53Newsome demanded that Congress stand up and later called for the Twenty-Fifth4:57Amendment.4:57Those demands matter politically, but they do not themselves transfer presidential5:01powers.5:02Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said the remarks could compromise her city's safety and5:06rejected treating residents as expendable.5:08San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria said his city was not collateral damage, not expendable,5:13and never a small price to pay.5:15Bass cited approximately 3.8 million Los Angeles residents and an earlier deployment5:20of 4,000 National Guard troops and Marines.5:23The troop figure was the deployment she invoked in criticism, not a new order or5:27verified current force strength.5:29The two cities have 5,275,195 residents combined, not more than5:3510 million.5:36The July 1st, 2025 estimates put Los Angeles City at5:393,869,089 and San Diego City at5:431,406,106.5:46Newsom's press office used the wrong combined city figure.5:49Those city estimates were released May 14, 2026, and support Bass's approximate Los5:54Angeles figure.5:55Cities and counties are different geographies.5:57Switching between them more than doubles the combined population.6:01Democratic gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra cited approximately 13 million6:06residents in the two counties.6:07That description is consistent with the county estimates.6:10Los Angeles County had 9,694,934 residents and San Diego County 36:16penthouse million 22048, totaling 12,977,182.6:22The county estimates were released March 26, 2026.6:26A separate fiscal 2025 estimate released in December 2025 puts San Diego County at 36:31tolerant 336,081.6:34That is a different estimation series.6:36Not additional residents to add.6:38Neither series validates more than 10 million in the two cities.6:41Naval Base San Diego is a principal homeport for Pacific Fleet surface ships and a6:46hub of Navy Region Southwest port operations.6:49It is not Pacific Fleet headquarters.6:51That headquarters is at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam in Hawaii.6:55Navy Region Southwest's headquarters at San Diego's Broadway complex is a different6:59command.7:00San Diego is a major naval hub.7:02Calling it the fleet's headquarters conflates home port and command headquarters.7:06Trump endorsed Republican candidate Jim Desmond said he vehemently disagreed with7:10the comments.7:11No American city is expendable, and no American family should ever be treated as7:16collateral damage.7:17He said protecting Americans and the homeland was the president's first7:20responsibility.7:21Desmond's Democratic opponent, San Diego City Councilmember Marnie Von Wilpert,7:26called the comments appalling and terrifying and an impeachable offense.7:30Her name is Marnie, not Marnie.7:32They face each other in California's 48th congressional district.7:35Both advanced from the June 2 top 2 primary.7:38The district covers inland San Diego and Riverside counties.7:41Darrell Issa did not seek re-election after the Proposition 50 redraw.7:45Desmond's statement establishes Republican dissent, not the views of every7:48Republican.7:50Senator Cory Booker criticized Republican silence.7:53An earlier absence of public responses does not establish that other Republicans7:57endorsed the remarks or stayed silent indefinitely.8:00Senator Alex Padilla called for the 25th Amendment.8:02That was advocacy, not an invocation.8:05Von Wilpert's 45%.8:07Desmond's 42%, and the 13% undecided were measured before the remarks.8:12The likely voter poll ran August 27 through September 1st.8:15and was published September 4th.8:17It cannot demonstrate a reaction to the October 5 speech.8:20A secondary compilation gives a sample of 522.8:23The reported credibility interval was approximately 5 percentage points larger than8:28the three-point lead.8:29That lead does not establish a decisive advantage.8:32The race was rated lean Democratic with a move from toss-up described as months8:36earlier, but the exact dated change is not independently established.8:40Other assessments were lean Democratic and TILT Democratic.8:44These are judgments, not election results or measured speech effects.8:47Trump's 32% approval and 65% disapproval were measured among 4,506 adults8:53from September 30th through October 5th.8:56Approval was unchanged from September's career low reading.8:59Field work ended on the rally date, so this was not a post-remarks measurement.9:03A separately reported registered voter subset had 36% approval and 64% disapproval.9:09Those denominators are not interchangeable.9:12With the midterms about four weeks away, No verified post remarks poll establishes9:17that the comments changed voting intentions.9:20No Section 4 declaration or impeachment proceeding over these remarks is established9:24as of October 8th.9:25A governor's demand, a senator's post, or a candidate's accusation is not the9:29constitutional action needed to begin a transfer of powers.9:32Section 4 requires the Vice President and a majority of the principal executive9:36department officers to send a written declaration of presidential inability to the9:40Senate President pro tempore and House Speaker.9:42The Vice President then immediately assumes Presidential powers as acting President.9:46The amendment also permits another body created by Congress, but Congress has not9:51created one.9:52Section 4 concerns inability and transfers powers.9:55It does not remove the President from office.9:57If the President declares no inability, the Vice President and required majority10:01have four days to counter it.10:03Congress then decides assembling within 48 hours, if not in session, with a 21-day10:08decision period.10:09That period runs from receipt of the subsequent declaration or the required assembly10:14date.10:15Continuing the acting president's exercise of powers requires two-thirds of both10:18houses, otherwise, the president resumes those powers.10:21Impeachment is separate.10:23The house can impeach by majority vote.10:25Senate conviction and removal require two-thirds of senators present.10:29Political condemnation is not a finding of inability, a completed impeachment, or a10:33transfer of presidential powers.10:35The change is an explicit protective assurance following precautionary monitoring10:39and bipartisan objections, not an established attack or new defense measure.10:44Whether monitoring uncovered an actionable threat or will be stood down remains10:47unresolved.10:48No electoral effect caused by the remarks is established.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDexคลิปสั้น ↗ใครรายงานอะไรประเด็นที่สื่อมากกว่าหนึ่งแห่งรายงาน✓Trump’s remarks naming Los Angeles and San Diegoยืนยันโดยอิสระ · 11 สำนักข่าวWhite House
