I could tell you there are certain areas of Los Angeles that you could have called it an insurrection.

He's just priming the media for when he wants to invoke the insurrection act. He's got to test out that word and see what the response is. If he can get the media talking about it on his terms, he's won.

This. His goal is to spill as much American blood as he possibly can. It’s what he wants for his birthday; American blood on his hands, hell enough for him to bathe in, so he can feel like a big-boy dictator killing women and children. That speech at Bragg was him trying to prime the military, and he was talking about sending in strafing runs to kill American children.
