BRET BAIER (HOST): Speaking of Donald Trump, his words raising some eyebrows, getting some reaction about the "enemy from within." Take a listen.

[...]

Governor Youngkin trying there, but I think J.D. Vance more on point where he said that if there is some big protest or something that that's what the former president is talking about. He later talked about Adam Schiff about being one of those enemies from within on the crazy left. And so a lot of people jumped on that. It is his words that cause, you know, some concern in a lot of corners.

FRANCESCA CHAMBERS (GUEST): And Democrats have been lumping that in with other comments that he has made. They're saying this isn't about one thing. This is about a pattern of comments about being a dictator on day one or things that he's said about the Justice Department. 

BAIER: Obviously that's about drilling and closing the border, but okay.

CHAMBERS: However, the argument from Democrats, the Harris campaign, is to continue to add those things up and then try appeal to the disaffected Republicans in particular with those sorts of comments who can be suede in this election to either stay at home or maybe vote for Kamala Harris and to try to campaign on those things.
