authoritarian language coming
from Donald Trump and his
campaign this weekend.
>> Reporter: Former president
trump ramping up his
inflammatory rhetoric.
>> The threat from outside
forces is far less sinistic and
dangerous and grave than the
threat from within.
>> Reporter: Denigrating his
political opponents on left as
vermin during a veterans day
speech in New Hampshire.
>> We will root out the
communist, marxism, fascist and
the radical left thugs that live
like vermin within the confines
of our country.
>> The white house condemning
trump's remarks likening them to
language used by authoritarian
leaders.
Using terms like that about
dissent could be unrecognizable
for our founders but
horrifyingly recognizable to
American veterans who put on
their country's uniform in the
1940s.
White house spokesperson Andrew
bates said in a statement --
>> As the former president
commands the primary with the
combative rhetoric, his allies
are planning a second term.
Proposals include the department
of justice to go after his
political rivals.
>> If they do this and they've
already done it, but if they
want to follow through on this,
yeah, it could certainly happen
in reverse.
>> Reporter: The agenda would
expand the hard-line immigration
policies during the first time
in office.
>> We'll begin the largest
domestic deportation operation
in American history.
>> Reporter: With the mass
detention and deportation of
undocumented immigrants.
>> I will shut down this
travesty and terminate all work
permits for illegal aliens and
demand that congress send my a
bill outlawing welfare pages to
any immigrant of any kind.
>> It is from the former
president.
>>S it poisoning the blood of
our country and people are
coming in with disease, people
are coming in with every
possible thing that you could
have.
>> Reporter: Trump's darkening
receiptockir appears to resonate
with Republicans, Tim Scott who
campaigns on a more optimistic
message, ended his bid on
Sunday.
>> I think the voters who are
the most remarkable people on
the planet, have been really
clear that they're telling me
that not now, Tim.
>> Reporter: And Jake, the trump
2025 potential agenda that we've
laid out is just the tip of the
iceberg.
We've heard from sources who say
that trump allies are building a
data base of loyalists who would
want to seven Donald Trump and
follow through with the policies
on day one as well as allies
working with attorneys who are
crafting executive orders that
the former president could sign
on day one to put out those
policies.
>> Kristin Holmes, thank you so
much.
>>> I wan to bring in mayor Huck
and Jonah Goldberg.
Let me start with you.
And let me start with this word
vermin.
Which is quite provocative.
Here is how Ronna Mcdaniels
responded to trump's remarks
when asked about it.
>> I'm not going to talk about
candidates that are if a
contested primary.
That is -- you could talk --
>> Will you condemn that.
>> >> You could talk to him
about that.
>> And he was slamming on
Twitter saying she refused to
condemn the GOP candidate for using the same Nazi propaganda
that mobilized Germany to evil.
It is fair to assume she's
collaborating.
What is the RNC chair's
responsibility here when trump
uses -- I mean, I don't think it
is hyperbolic to say that is
mussolini hitler-like language.
>> She would release it in the
text originally in German.
I feel about the piling on of
Mcdaniel about the way I felt
about Ramaswamy.
The party is not a thing.
It is this paper tiger.
She's ain't poed by trump.
She's a creature of trump.
And in a perfect world, in a
better world, both parties would
have a much more robust ability
to screen candidates and there
are some things that are under
the pail and those days are
behind us.
>> And injure guy, Joe Biden,
could lose to this guy.
>> Isn't that horrifying.
Someone who talks about
democracy and the care acatures
online and part of the public
discourse, he's not -- he's
neck-and-neck with that.
I will say, though, that Biden
does have an opportunity here.
Given the war between Israel and
hamas, and given the challenges
of China, that national security
and the U.S. Standing on the
world stage is something that is
becoming top of mind for
Americans and in a way that we
have in the seen for many years.
So if that context, talking
about how the U.S. Plays on the
world stage, what does it mean
to be American on the world
stage, that certainly is an
argument that favors Biden not
trump.
>> And there is no secret here,
Jonah, about trump's potential
second term plans.
He will -- there wouldn't be a
John Kelly or a bill Barr.
There couldn't be guardrails.
People were very critical of
John Kelly and bill Barr, but at
end of the day, they had some
idea of what guardrails should
exist.
And like a Doug McGregor, who
was a Pentagon official in the
trump administration, was
criticized for anti-semitic
tropes.
He's out there on X today saying
that Israel support is only
because of money.
The same stuff that ilhan Omar
got criticized for.
But nobody will criticize him
for it.
He could be like a secretary of
defense because he's so loyal.
>> This is one of the areas
where I think Ron Desantis is
right.
He just doesn't press the case
very much.
Which is that it is not the same
Donald Trump any more.
He's now become as weird as it
is so say, far more of a
caricature than he was in 2016
and surrounded himself -- it is
important to point out, one of
the bulwarks against a lot of
this is federal society trump
appointed judges who want no
part of it which is why the
lawyers around trump want to
reject federalist society people
and they it is an insurgent
movement within the right that
is not conservative.
Bannon said in an interview over
the weekend that, he said, look,
trump is a moderate in her
movement.
We have guys calling for how
America needs a new pinot --
>> And Democrats are shooting
their own.
You have Dean Phillips running
against Joe Biden.
You have people like
congresswoman tlaib talking
about how people shouldn't vote
for Joe Biden.
Because she doesn't like his
support for Israel.
There isn't the robust support
for the democratic party from
the democratic party.
>> Well this happens every time
you have an incumbent president.
You have people looking for
their own opportunities to
advance themselves within the
party agenda.
The idea that comments right now
are going to permanently ding
Biden when it comes to election
day, when it becomes the
one-on-one binary choice, I
think those are a bit overblown
and there are concerns about
Biden as his ability to turn out
voters in key districts and what
the map looks like.
You have the Republican party in
disarray on how they're all
competing for second place and
spending money and energy for
second place for someone who is
telling us he has no interest in
upholding any of the norms of
democracy or ever being
accountable to the people, to
the public.
So that is the piece that you
will not see any of the
Democrats argue that they
will -- at the end of the day
they will support the kooug of
the United States.
>> I agree.
The right is a hot mess.
Donald Trump would be a disaster
as another term in office.
At the same time, to my point
about weak parties, the GOP
season the only weak party in
the field.
Joe Biden, according to most
Democrats and most Americans, is
too old for the job ab not up
for the job.
>> But only like three years
older than Donald Trump.
>> But that is not the point.
It has to do with the mental
acuity and the fact --
>> The perception of the voters
is what it is.
>> And most Americans don't want
either of these guys to run and
if we live in a country with
strong parties, neither would be
the nominee.
But instead, we have a
democratic party that is too
weak to find an alternative and
