4:49Now Playinguring a Veterans' Day speech in New Hampshire this past weekend, Donald Trump told the crowd that the real threat to the United States was coming from within the country, and that it was coming from the "far left." He then added that he will "root out" Leftists if he wins back the White House next year, a reminder of how dangerous and unhinged Trump has become since being defeated by President Biden. But these threats must be taken seriously, as Farron Cousins explains.

As I talked about in a segment earlier today, Donald Trump, of course, mentioned in an interview with Univision that he was going to be prosecuting his political enemies if he ever makes it back to the White House, but it's not just his political enemies that need to be on the lookout, because later on over the weekend, Donald Trump, during a rally in New Hampshire reminded the crowd that he is, in fact going to root out leftists throughout the country. He's going to root us out. He said specifically, he said, he's going to root out radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. We are a failing nation. We are a nation in serious decline. 2024 is our final battle.
The real threat is not from the radical, right? The real threat is from the radical left, and it's growing every day, every single day. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within that threat that he's talking about the people he is encouraging his cult-like followers to go out there and target people like me. It's people like you. It's people who do not prescribe to the conservative ideology that appears to be failing across the country. It's those of us who are independent thinkers. It's those of us who don't think we should be persecuting the L-G-B-T-Q community. It's people who don't believe that we should be banning books throughout the country. It's people who believe that people should be able to live their lives. Those are the people that Donald Trump says he wants to quote, root out calls us vermin, and then of course says that we are a great threat to the country, and that we are the ones attacking this country that is Nazi like rhetoric.
In fact, most of the analysis of this speech that Trump gave has compared him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, because this is the same kind of language that Hitler used in his rise to prominence. And here is Donald Trump going for a second term in office using the exact same language for the exact same purpose. Now, let me tell y'all something. I get death threats constantly. I get threats of violence constantly. I get other hate-filled messages, but not necessarily threatening to harm me. I know that other people in this industry get far more threats, far worse threats than I do. David PackMan is one of them. Sam Cedar is one of them, and everybody else who does this gets the same kinds of threats, some of them on a daily basis. So when you
Have somebody running for political office as the head of a major party pointing these people out, my friends and myself and everybody else who does this pointing at us and saying, we are vermin. What he is doing is he is putting a target on each and every one of us. I I, I can't tell you how terrifying it is sometimes, you know, somebody comes up to me in public, is like, Hey, I've seen you on YouTube and before they're like, and I love you. You're great. There's that moment of panic. Is this somebody that's about to pull out a gun and kill me, or is this somebody who's just gonna say, Hey, your videos are fun. I like them. I don't know. And it is terrifying because I see the messages I get, I see the messages that other people get. I see the threats. But up to this point, we, we've never had one of the, one of the candidates call us vermin and say that we are the ones attacking this country. And by using that language saying, we are attacking the country, his supporters take that in their heads as, oh my God, my country is under attack. I have to defend it by getting rid of this person. So I'm not speaking in hyperbole when I say that he is putting a target on each and every one of us, because that is exactly what that kind of rhetoric does.
