- It's no secret Americans who supported

the presidency of Donald Trump,

mystified those known asthe liberal media elite.

Still many Americans gasped,when a trusted news voice

millions used to wake upto, made this statement.

- The question is, how are we going to

really almost deprogram thesepeople who have signed up

for the cult of Trump?

- For many citizens, it was jaw dropping

to hear something so radicalfrom a respected journalist.

What did you think when you heard her

calling for Trump supportersto be deprogrammed?

- You kind of get that sinkingfeeling in your stomach

because it's so disappointing.

You're like, Oh wow, seriously.

- [Reporter] It's a year since Fox nation

last visited the border.

- [Narrator] Longtime journalist

and former 60 minutescorrespondent, Lara Logan,

who now hosts her own show on Fox nation,

"Lara Logan Has No Agenda",

says this so-called ideais more widely accepted

than you might think.

- Just the idea that anyoneneeds to be deprogrammed

is such a radical idea.

And yet it is, this is not an idea

that you're hearing on the fringes, right?

This is an idea that's beingpublished in the opinion pages

of the Washington post.

- [Jennifer] She's right.

This comes from postopinion writer, Brian Klaas.

"So do we have any hope of deprogramming

the millions of Americans who are devoted

to dangerous lunacy?

Don't hold your breath."

One in a slew of articles

and commentary thataccept deep programming

as a necessary response

to Americans disappointed bythe presidential election.

- There are millions ofAmericans, almost all white,

almost all Republicans, whosomehow need to be deprogrammed.

It's as if they are members of a cult

that Trump has called.

- [Jennifer] Logan points out,

she's not motivated by politics or party,

rather outrage

over the media's self-sustainingsinister narrative,

that in some casesthreatens the very lives

and livelihoods of millions of citizens.

- There is an entire infrastructure

that is built aroundsustaining this narrative

and targeting millionsof people in this country

who see the world differently.

And to they regard as a threat.

And now as illegitimateenough to have to be erased.

Hunter Biden's laptopwas a conspiracy theory

until it wasn't.

And Russia collusion was never ever

cast as a conspiracy theory,

but it wasn't true.

And how damaging was that?

(gunshots)

What about the fact thatStephen Scalise was shot

by a Bernie Sanders supporter?

What is it that BernieSanders supporters believed

that justified picking up a weapon

and going and trying to kill someone?

I mean, that's much more than sinister,

that's much more than just media bias.

There are actual politicaloperatives who are being paid

and who have placement andaccess throughout the media,

who are making sure that thesenarratives are sustained.

- What is this?

Is this just about Donald Trump

or is this just about conservatism?

What do you think?

- This was never about Donald Trump

and that's what madeDonald Trump so threatening

to all the people thatreally, really, really

went out of their way to destroyhim and to get rid of him.

It was all about focusingeverybody on the man

so that you wouldn't rememberto focus on the principles,

so that you wouldn't realizethat what actually happened

for the first time in livingmemory, is that we, the people

as it is in theconstitution, actually said,

"Okay we're going to exercise our rights.

We've had it.

We're done.

We're done with you saying things can only

be done this way in Washington.

We're done with you taking our tax dollars

and then telling us that, you know best,

we're done with paying for NATO

and then being disregarded and criticized

and blamed for everything bythe international community.

Fine, we won't pay yourdefense bills then.

We don't understand why

you agreed to this trade deal with China,

that destroyed manufacturingin this country.

We don't understand why

you still are part of the United Nations,

when everyone at the UN says that America

is to blame for everything."

And what the propaganda was all about,

what the targeting of Donald Trump

and the emphasizing of, you know,

every annoying thing about him

that got emphasized over andover and over and over again,

was shaming you into not voting for him

or admitting that you vote for him

and distracting you from thereal principles at stake.

So that he would be limited inwhat he'd be able to achieve,

and that he couldquickly be gotten rid of,

as fast as possible.

And how do you know that's true,

because you don't haveto take my word for it,

what do I know, I'm just a journalist?

Well, you know it's true,

because look what happenedeven before he left office.

The target shifted, it wentfrom Donald Trump to you.

- [Jennifer] It's a chilling assessment.

One Logan says is beingbacked up with action.

Just look at the departmentof Homeland Security's new

domestic terrorism bulletin,

warning of ideologically-motivatedviolent extremists

here at home.

People, the former CIA director calls,

a greater threat than Al Qaeda.

- This threat from domesticviolence extremists

is much more challenging, I believe,

than it was in terms of goingafter foreign terrorists.

- [Logan] Have we reallyforgotten what 9/11 was like,

that you're treatingJanuary six, like 9/11?

- [Jennifer] And she warnsthe media might not realize

what it's ultimately sacrificing.

- So right now it'sreprogramming or deprogramming

Trump supporters.

What about when it'sdeprogramming Christians

of all kinds including left and right?

People think, well, I'm a better person

than a Trump supporter, right?

Because I believe I'vestudied critical race theory,

and I voted for Joe Biden

and I would never vote for Donald Trump

or a horrible, nasty Republican, right?

Except you go to church andGod and religion is a threat

to progressive secularmovement in this country.

And now you need to be deprogrammed.

and who's next, who else is on the list?

- For Logan, who's anative of South Africa,

That's a question she tells me

she never, ever thought she'd be asking

about the United States of America.
