"Donald Trump has triggered a political earthquake." "I love this country." "Soon, he'll be the most powerful person on the planet." "We will make America great again and it will happen quickly." "He won with big promises." "I feel he's the man for the job that can turn this country around." "Not my President!" "But to his opponents, Donald Trump's vision of America is a nightmare." "He will be one of the worst presidents that we'll have ever had." "My eight-year-old asked me, "Are we going to move?" "Do we have to leave?"" "There's already a powder keg of raw emotions that exist in this country right now." "Panorama has spent the last week in Texas." "Tonight, what does President Trump mean for America?" "He understands that politics is show business and governing is something far more serious, so I think he's going to be a great leader." "America is reeling from Donald Trump's stunning victory." "His supporters can hardly believe their man pulled it off." "I was happy." "It was well worth the time staying up till 2.30 in the morning to hear him say, "I'm going to be your President."" "And they said that we're all uneducated white people, is what got him elected." "Well, that's true, I might never have been to an Ivy League school, but we know a pile of BS when we see one." "And that's why she lost." "Lone Star, Texas, is a depressing place." "Here, they want America's glory back, and that's what Donald Trump's promising." "I will be... ..the greatest jobs President that God ever created, I tell you that." "Back in the 1980s, steel was king here in Lone Star." "It provided well-paid jobs and lots of them." "Back when I was a kid growing up, it was a booming town." "All the stores were real busy." "Over the years, steel jobs have moved overseas and the town has never recovered." "It's done nothing but gone downhill the last 15, 20 years." "Mike Crabtree works in construction, but there are no jobs here." "He travels often hundreds of miles to find work." "His wife, a steelworks contractor, was laid off." "She lost her job to overseas." "And that's why she's going back to school to get re-educated on something else." "There are towns like this all over America, towns that have been left behind by massive historical changes - globalisation that's taken a lot of the jobs here, and a huge influx of immigrants." "A lot of people here don't like these changes and they certainly don't want them." "With no job and little money," "Travis Pool was inspired by Donald Trump's simple message, that he'll bring American jobs back from overseas." "I believe Trump" " America first." "Why should all our businesses and corporations go over" " to Mexico and China?" " Well, I guess because it's cheaper." " So Americans can buy cheaper goods." " But it's not helping us." "It's not helping the common man in America." "Do you see any benefits to globalisation?" "No, I do not." " Free trade?" " I do not believe in open borders, no." "Donald Trump's theme of turning the clock back, tightening up the borders, getting the old America back, resonates deeply here." "Every day, millions of dollars of cheap goods flow across the Mexican border into America." "Donald Trump wants to squeeze this trade with huge tariffs." "In his first 100 days, he's promised to make way for American goods and start creating 25 million jobs." "I honestly believe his economic programme, we could have a boom." "They'll call it the Trump Boom." "But some warn it's an explosive recipe for recession." "The idea that he's just going to turn around and in that first 100 days, bring jobs back to the country, put people to work, it just seems like a bridge too far." "He's a showman and he's a good one." "He can make real estate deals." "Real estate deals are not the same as trade deals, they're not the same as negotiating treaties, they're not the same as creating policies." "And we just don't know if this man can make the transition from what he's been all his life to what he's going to be required to be right now." "Gentlemen, today we're going to do an exercise coming off this airboat." "Donald Trump's core base is made up of white voters who never went to university." "But a significant proportion of middle-income Americans voted for him too." "We don't need any fratricide, so be aware of where your muzzle's pointing." "Once a month, this amateur civil defence group gets together to practise for an emergency." "Today, the group is made up of former soldiers, a chemical engineer, a construction worker and a trucker." "Like millions of Americans, these men voted for Donald Trump not because he had a polished set of policies but because of his worldview." "People just feel they've lost control of their own lives." "They feel that they want to take control again and have their skills and have their abilities to control their own lives." "There's no such thing as an average Trump voter, but most cherish self-reliance and hate big government and the welfare state." "He's going to set our country in a different direction than where we've been the last eight years or so." "We're returning to the beginnings and the beginning ideology of what the founders gave us in the beginning - that liberty and that freedom." "What they like most about Donald Trump is that he is a political outsider." "So, the plus factor that I have about Trump is that he's not with any political party." "I mean, he's Republican, yes, but he's not mainstream." "He doesn't have to answer to the big lobbyists, doesn't have to answer to, you know, anybody." "He marches to the beat of his own drum." "Boom!" "Donald Trump was really rallying the silent majority." "He was rallying the forgotten Americans, the people who don't protest, the people who aren't out there, you know, on the streets, the people that pay their taxes and send their kids off to war" "and fill the jobs and fill the churches on Sunday." "That was really the Trump constituency." "I always tell people you can't underestimate him because he just knows how to get things done." "And I think one of the great assets that he's going to have is that whatever objectives he has, in terms of his presidency, he'll get there." "But here on the Mexican border, there's dread about what Donald Trump might get done." "I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will have Mexico pay for that wall." "Mark my words." "So, this is Laredo, but right there on the other side of the border, just a stone's throw away, it's called Nuevo Laredo." "In reality, it's all just one big town that happens to have the US-Mexican border running right through the middle of it, and all day people go back and forth visiting family, going to work, going to school." "People living here, a city that is 96% Hispanic, see Donald Trump's proposed 2,000-mile wall as a sign of hate." "They worry it will break up families." "Watch this." "Nelson Rodriquez, a US citizen, is enjoying a night out with his friends." "I have family in Monterrey, Mexico, and just the thought of him building a wall scares me because those are our people, those are our blood, and to build a wall, it's like you're separating us completely and forever." "The only way we'll see our family is through a device, through our social media." "That's the only way we'll be able to see our family." "It's just unthinkable and it breaks my heart and it makes me very, very worried and sad." "I work all week." "Monday to Friday." "Laura and Sandy, both born and bred here, American citizens too, are worried that President Trump will force them over to Mexico." "His campaign threat to deport 11 million illegal immigrants has caused confusion and fear." "What I understood about his rule was that when your parents were illegal here and if you were born with an illegal parent, you were automatically deported." "At the time that I was born, my mother was not legal." "I'm scared that if it comes to that, I might get deported." "What about your family?" "Your children?" "My eight year-old woke up this morning and I told her who had won, and she asked me, "Are we going to move?" "Do we have to leave?" ""Do we stay here?" "What are we going to do?"" "And it's really scary for me." "It is." "This is the Rio Grande." "Here, it forms the border between America and Mexico." "For those seeking a better life, it's relatively easy to sneak across." "Every year, almost half a million people are caught crossing into America illegally." "Donald Trump's most controversial immigration proposals came in the heat of the election campaign." "But will he carry out these pledges?" "Trump understands that the wall is symbolic of something much greater - the sealing of our borders." "We need to seal our borders and set up a mechanism in which people who want to come here legitimately are examined." "Last night, Donald Trump rode back, saying part of the border might be secured by a fence." "He will not get a giant wall across the southern border." "These will be scaled back." "I think maybe we'll get more of a virtual wall, an electronic wall, so I think that will be less radical." "He had promised to deport 11 million people." "Now he says he would prioritise 2-3 million illegals with a criminal past." "At the end of the day, perhaps it is unrealistic to deport 11 million people." "But if he deports two million criminals, people who have raped or murdered or robbed or committed some other crime, he will have kept faith with the American people." "I'm leaving Laredo, heading north." "This road is a major route for Mexican drug and human traffickers." "I'm on my way to Victoria, a town that's changed dramatically over the decades." "Another arrest in a once-sleepy town that's become a staging post for the criminals." " What kind of drugs are we talking about?" " Methamphetamine." "Methamphetamine." "I'm not sure if it's locally made, but it's actually the sales of methamphetamine." "We have some bad hombres here and we're going to get them out." "I'm not sure exactly how he's going to do it with the current force he has, there are some ways by which it can be done." "But I think that there does need to be a hard look at people that are in this country illegally." "'Local police say the crime here in Victoria is getting worse.'" "In Victoria County, we have a cornucopia of all the criminal activity." "The cartels do operate in towns like this." "Our latest estimates are they're doing about $20 million a month in human trafficking and drugs combined." "'We were shown a hideout used by people smugglers.'" "That's why the gate looks the way the gate does." "When they come across from Mexico, they'll be brought up here." "This is a staging area." "The people from the Mexican border will drop them off here in these locations and then somebody from the Houston area will pick them up and once they get to Houston, they're distributed to wherever their destination is." "I don't think Donald's hostile to immigrants, I think..." "As a matter of fact, I would say just the opposite." "I just think he feels that the laws of immigration have not been enforced correctly and that we still are a nation of laws and that he will try to enforce the laws that we have here about immigration, which, frankly, have been loosely interpreted" "in the last number of years." "Victoria is solid Republican territory." "A place where tough talk on immigration and crime goes down well." "Beverly Tomek half-jokingly describes herself as one of the only Democrats in town." "She's worried about the changing atmosphere." "Both of my parents live here, my siblings are nearby..." "So I think it's a community worth investing in and worth the effort to not give up on." "I don't want to give up on it." "Beverly teaches history at the university in Victoria." "She has spent her career studying the history of race in America and sees significant parallels between the divisive politics of today and those of a former President from almost 200 years ago." "Andrew Jackson was President in the 1830s and he led to some disastrous things." "Basically, rounded up Native Americans, marched them to Oklahoma in a very brutal and awful thing called the Trail of Tears." "And the average American at the time, average white American, was 100% behind him." " Was anybody worried?" " Yes, in the wake of the election, you have Trump posters with Confederate flags and Nazi swastikas that say "Trump 2016" hung up in dorm rooms." " Here in the college?" " Here in the college, that people are finding." "We felt we were going to be immune to this kind of hatred, but it's everywhere." " Do you have those posters?" " I have pictures of it." " When did that go up?" " Yesterday." "Trump's America looks like oppression and that's what he wants to do by making America great again, in my aspect, is by making America hate again." "There was a threat on Facebook against me personally." " What was the threat?" " The threat was "You should have your throat slit" ""like the ones in Benghazi for voting."" "As I'm disabled, I'm Hispanic and I'm a female, he's practically offended me in three different categories." "With tensions rising," "Beverly is now considering some personal protection of her own." " Hello, how are you doing?" " Good, how are you?" " Doing well." "What can we help you with today?" "I'm starting to think maybe I should think about getting a concealed carry permit." "One of our best sellers, Smith  Wesson Shield 9mm." "It's a very, very accurate, medium-priced weapon, and it does have a thumb safety on it." "To me, fear is what causes anger and hatred and I think it's a lot of fear of change." "People are scared and people are angry, and you put those together and it's just nasty." "I think there are going to be really deep divisive cultural changes that come out of this administration and I am terrified, terrified, that, you know," "Donald Trump will not be able to pull people together but will continue to pull people apart." "The Donald Trump I know, and I want to be perfectly clear about this, he's not a bigot, he's not a misogynist, right, he doesn't hate people." "He's actually a very charming, funny, lovely man who, if he was sitting in the room with us, you would enjoy speaking to and find him to be delightful." "Move." "While we move up, squeeze." " Break." " To the left." "Victoria isn't a big town, but it has its very own heavily-armed SWAT team." "COMMANDS SHOUTED" "For people watching this in Britain, it seems like a lot of equipment, you know, a little bit over the top." "It seems a lot of equipment till the day you need it, then it seems just right that day." "Move, move, move!" "$5 billion worth of military equipment has been transferred to American police in the last 25 years." "President Obama tried to stop this militarisation, but this is a new era." "I am the law and order candidate." "Are you excited to have a President with a law and order agenda?" "Yes, we are." "We're very much so." " So you feel like you've got backup now." " Exactly." "We're going to have a President who supports us and we're going to go out and continue to uphold the constitution and enforce the laws." "But will Donald Trump's tough stance on law and order make things better or worse?" "He's encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies." "Thank you." "Get him out of here, will you?" "Do you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this?" "They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks." "When he incited violence against black protesters, it caused outrage across America." "TRUMP:" "Amidst escalating protests at police brutality, and this vitriolic election campaign, racial tensions are reaching fever pitch." "So far this year, police in America have killed more than 800 people, proportionally far more blacks than whites." "Donald Trump has said he is concerned about race relations, but a staggering 88% of African-Americans voted against him." "I'm on my way to Dallas, for many years a hotbed of black discontent." "I'm visiting Shirley Harrison." "She had called the police for help because one day, her 38-year-old son Jason, who was schizophrenic, became unstable." "He hadn't taken his medication." "Sort of makes his behaviour irrational." "So I called 911 so they could take him," " you know, in the car..." " Yeah." "..to hospital like they'd always been doing for 19 years." " ELECTRONIC VOICE:" " Turn left now." "What happened next was captured by the police officer's body-mounted camera." "Approaching destination now." "KNOCKING" "Police." "How are you doing?" "What's going on?" "Shirley warned officers about her son's mental state." " My boy is schizo." " What's going on?" "Jason had a screwdriver in his hand." " Drop that for me, guy." " Jay!" " Drop it!" " Jay!" " Drop it." " Jay!" " Don't you shoot..." " GUNSHOTS" "Oh, you killed my child!" "Jason was shot five times and killed." "He shot him straight in the heart right in front of me." "Every day I see this, but..." "All I see every day is blood coming from his shirt." "He shot him straight in the heart." "They didn't try to help him." "The officers involved said they were forced to shoot him." "They deemed him dangerous because he wouldn't drop the screwdriver." "And the decision was taken not to prosecute them." "They're trigger-happy." "And they've taken their authority and blown it out of proportion." "I am concerned about this brutality in not just..." "It's not just in Dallas, it's all over." "And where does that leave the police brutality problem under a President Trump?" "It's still going to be a problem." "It still will be a problem." "GOSPEL SINGING" "Donald Trump has shown few signs of concern about the deep anger amongst African Americans over police killings." "You try and live right and life goes wrong." "That's enough to drive you crazy." "That's enough to make you mad." "Black Lives Matter is a cry that says, you know, hear us." "We do matter." "Is Donald Trump a racist, in your view?" "I don't know if he's a racist." "I know racism has come out of his mouth and his policies that he has promoted, few though they be, they can have racial... racist outcomes." "A law and order platform does not make the country safe." "It simply taps into... ..a prejudice, a racism that is justified now in law and order." "Even in church, if I had today taken a survey and asked," ""How many of you have had a negative encounter" ""with an officer of the law?"" "All hands would go up." "After 400 years of hell, after 400 years of slavery, segregation, second-class citizenship," "I say Black Lives Matter!" "The churches and the main protest movements promote nonviolence." "But black anger is exploding." "SIRENS AND GUNSHOTS" "In Dallas in July, one lone black shooter, angry at police killings, shot and killed five white policemen." "I didn't meet anyone in Dallas who openly condoned the July killings, but some young black men are arming themselves for self-defence." "This is my protest-mobile." "This is my 40." "Can't really have it out." "This is an extended clip, holds 35 rounds in there." "One in the chamber." "La'Shadion Anthony is part of an increasingly angry black activist movement." "I hope to not to have to use my weapons to defend my life, but if it comes down to it, I'm well prepared to do so." "With Trump being elected and how bad things can get," "I believe it gives a sense of entitlement to the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist groups we already see on the rise here." "And I believe that once those groups start to antagonise and try to intimidate people, like they're known for doing, then all-out war is going to break out." "It's going to be a civil war." "Pastor Haynes has a congregation of 12,000 people." "He holds sway in the community here in one of the poorest parts of Dallas." "Dallas, like many cities across the country, is a powder keg, and it's a powder keg of emotions, raw emotions." "Are you saying that you may not be able to control it if it took that violent direction?" "I have my limitations, without a question." "There's a view in Donald Trump's camp that there's a quick fix - tackle the roots of black anger." "There's anger, I think, about the plight of people living in our inner cities who have no way out and no opportunity and no path to prosperity and no path to the American dream." "Of course you can see why black Americans are frustrated." "I'd be frustrated." "If you can make the economy cook, all these problems can be solved." "If the economy doesn't grow, or there's an effort to pit one group against another, then we could be in the kind of environment we had in the late '60s, when we had outbreaks of violence and real unhappiness." "But in small towns across Texas, the other America, they're ready for the Trump revolution." "When I heard that Donald Trump won, I was relieved." "I was elated." "I feel he's the man for the job that can turn this country around and he proved that this was a revolution of the people that's fed up with what has been going on in our country for so long." "Just a lot of people like me's depending on him to do what he says he's going to do so we can..." "..try and plan our life." "If he does everything he says he wants to do... ..all production will go up, we'll get rid of steel from China, and that will open up the plant again where they'll call everybody back." "And if that's open, it'll bring back at least 3,000-4,000 jobs to people in the area." "Donald Trump, a political novice, has ramped up the expectations." "Will he continue as the firebrand?" "He's the kind of person who likes to throw a hand grenade in a room to see what's going to happen." "But in some ways, it is, "I'll try that out, see how it plays," OK?" "And I think you'll see a little bit of, let's say, editing, modifying..." "I don't want to say backpedalling, but let's say soft-pedalling some of the things that went before." "I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be President for all Americans, and this is so important to me." "President Trump will have a choice about how he governs America." "So, we don't know what the real Trump is." "The authoritarian Trump is very scary, the pragmatic Trump is someone who could probably govern the country." "Who's got the power?" "We've got the power!" "History will judge Donald Trump." "After a week of protests, America is heading into the unknown."
