Danger as we see with the attack on nancy pelosis husband and numerous other violent incidents. the danger is clearly growing. and i think thats what dhs is responding to. >> yeah, you say that, max, and its important because some of the rhetoric is so extreme. and when you talk about the nature of certain conspiracy theories, the talk of satanic, evil, pedophilia conspiracy. it can be hard for someone whos living a normal, shall we say, day-to-day life, going to work, talking to other rational ...

Ago? >> for me, that thing i would emphasize for people is that four years ago, five years ago, the right-wing really started to organize power, it used to be considered the fringes. and now they are no longer the fringe is. and they are increasingly in the center. whats new is we have operationalized extremist part and parcel with the mainstream republican party, mainstream right-wing media. the kinds of conspiracy theories that ben was referencing before are actually on fox & friends this morn...

Condition continues to improve. with both paul pelosi and the suspect, david depape, still in the hospital today, zip ties found in the pelosi home, and confirming the two men did not previously know each other. his extremist ideologies bringing some republicans to question the current political climate. >> weve got to figure out how to bring our country back together where we have a civil conversation and, you know, we have no violence. i mean, this -- what happened to paul pelosi is despicable...

The language of violence. let be clear. there is violence that is directed and nurtured by the leader of that party and then the problem is it is either denied, accepted or also embraced by other members and what i -- what is important to remember is the well, lets just move on attitude you hear from many people. thats just trump, whatever, especially members of his party. that actually is helpful to the radicalization because its the silence, its the lack of shaming of what is going on and what...
