APOPLECTIC
APOPLECTIC >>> YOU KNOW, I TOLD THE STORY
THE OTHER DAY, I WAS PROBABLY IN
WASHINGTON MY ENTIRE LIFE 17
TIMES, 17 TIMES.
I DON’T THINK I EVER STAYED
OVERNIGHT.
OVERNIGHT. YOU KNOW WHAT I’M GETTING AT,
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >> OKAY, SO WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
THAT WE JUST HEARD THE PRESIDENT
SAY WAS PROOF THAT DONALD TRUMP
IS THE RING LEADER OF A SHADOWY
CULT AIMED AT SIMULTANEOUSLY
ROOTING OUT THE DEEP STATE WHICH
HAS BEEN SECRETLY RUNNING THE
UNITED STATES FOR YEARS AS YOU
ALL KNOW, AND A COLOSSAL CHILD
SEX TRAFFICKING NETWORK?
WELL, IF YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS
DRA MATT ILK
DRAMATIC AND SPURIOUS, WE’RE
JUST GETTING STARTED.
LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO Q A
NONTRYING TO ELBOW IT ITS WAY
INTO THE MAINSTREAM WITH Q SWAG
TO TRUMP RALLIES.
Q IS THE MONIKER FOR THE
MOVEMENTS ANONYMOUS LEADER.
HE OR SHE CLAIMS TO BE A
HIGH-LEVEL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
WITH TOP SECRET SECURITY
CLEARANCE SHARING BREAD CRUMBS
FROM TIME TO TIME.
WHEN TRUMP JUST SAID THE NUMBER
17, THAT WAS APPARENTLY A NOD TO
THE GROUP BECAUSE Q IS THE 17th
LETTER IN THE ALPHABET AND -- I
KNOW YOU ALL THINK I’M HIGH, BUT
NOT RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS THE REAL THING THAT
THESE GUYS DO AND TALK ABOUT.
THE STORY HERE, THOUGH, IS LESS
ABOUT A DERANGED TIN FOIL HAT
CONGLOMERATE AND MORE ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
PRESIDENT HIMSELF. THESE Q A NON PEOPLE WERE
NOTICEABLY PRESENT AT TRUMP’S
RALLY IN TAMPA.
BECAUSE OF THAT EVERYONE IS
GOING TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR
THE Q A NON PEOPLE AT HIS EVENT
TONIGHT IN PENNSYLVANIA AND, IN
FACT, WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN Q A
NON PEOPLE AT THE EVENT IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
PENNSYLVANIA. THAT’S A PICTURE, THE FIRST
SIGHTING OF A Q A NON PERSON
THERE.
THERE. THERE IS TALK ABOUT LICENSE
PLATES IN THE PARKING LOT.
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE AN ORGY OF
Q-ANON BEFORE THIS HOUR IS OVER.
CLINT WATTS IS WITH US AND THE
REST OF THE TABLE REMAINS.
>>> I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION
BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS
LAST NIGHT.
LAST NIGHT. YOU FREAKED ME OUT.
WE WERE SITTING IN THE GREEN
ROOM BEFORE BRIAN WILLIAMS’
SHOW.
SHOW. YOU’RE THE RUSSIA GUY.
HE SAID, I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT
RUSSIA ANY MORE AND SOCIAL
MEDIA.
MEDIA. I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT RUSSIA
DISRUPTING AMERICAN SOCIETY.
I’M WORRIED ABOUT Q A NON.
WHY?
WHY? >> THIS PLAY IS TAKE NOT ON BY
EVERYBODY.
EVERYBODY. THIS IS VERY AMERICAN.
IT LOOKS TO BE AMERICAN MADE.
IT’S MORE SOPHISTICATED IN SOME
WAYS.
WAYS. BETTER PRODUCTION VALUE,
SOPHISTICATED.
SOPHISTICATED. IT’S SPREADING VERY QUICKLY,
IT’S MULTI PLATFORM AND IT
CONNECTS WITH CONSPIRACIES AND
TAKES ON ITS OWN LIFE.
IT ALSO IS TALKING ABOUT THERE
BEING A DEEP STATE OR A
GOVERNMENT THAT ALMOST NEEDS TO
BE OVERTHROWN AND THEY HAVE A
VIDEO CALLED THE PLAN.
ESSENTIALLY HERE’S WHAT WE ARE
GOING TO DO.
THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF THAT
LEADS TO VIOLENCE, PUBLIC SAFETY
PROBLEMS.
PROBLEMS. YOU KNOW, THESE CONSPIRACIES
LEAD TO ELECTED OFFICIALS BEING
CHALLENGED WITH FALSEHOODS, SO
THIS IS WHAT I’M WORRIED ABOUT
GOING FORWARD.
GOING FORWARD. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THE
RUSSIANS DOING IT, IT’S
EVERYBODY ELSE.
EVERYBODY ELSE. >> CAN I PIGGYBACK ON THAT
BECAUSE CLINT IS THE EXPERT.
BUT I DEALT A LOT WITH RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION.
DISINFORMATION. AND IT’S STILL GOING ON, THAT’S
WHY IT WAS SO IMPORTANT WHAT
THEY DID TODAY.
THERE’S NO OFF SWITCH, RIGHT?
SO IF YOU TAKE THE INTERNET
RESEARCH AGENCY, WHICH CLINT
WROTE A LOT ABOUT, THEY ARE
STILL PUTTING OUT STUFF ALL DAY
LONG AND EVERY DAY.
I’VE BEEN A RECIPIENT OF IT.
THEY HAVE VERY BAD ENGLISH.
THEY CAN’T EVEN CURSE IN A GOOD
WAY.
WAY. THESE GUYS, IF YOU HAVE AN
AMERICAN DISCIPLE OF THEM THAT
ARE USING THOSE TECHNIQUES AND
KNOWS HOW TO USE AMERICAN
VERNACULAR, THAT IS DANGEROUS.
>> IT’S MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE.
>> I WANT TO BRING THIS BACK AS
I SAID IN THE INTRO HERE, I WANT
TO BRING THIS BACK TO TRUMP.
SO YOU THINK BACK TO 2016 AND
2017, THINGS WE’VE SEEN.
YOU’VE GOT CHARLOTTESVILLE AND
THE SWASTIKA, NEONAZI FOLKS.
PEOPLE RETWEETING ANTI-SEMITIC
STUFF.
STUFF. YOU’VE GOT DAVID DUKE.
IN EVERY INSTANCE, THE PRESIDENT
HAS EXHIBITED ONE CHARACTERISTIC
WHICH IS IF YOU LIKE DONALD
TRUMP, HE IS LOATHE TO DISTANCE
HIMSELF FROM YOU.
HE GIVES LICENSE TO ALL MANNER
OF VILE BEHAVIOR ON THE PART OF
THESE HATE GROUPS AND OTHER
FORCES.
FORCES. IS THIS QANON THING THE NEW
VERSION OF THAT?
>> I THINK SO.
THERE WAS A POST CIVIL RIGHTS
CONSENSUS ABOUT HOW WE TALKED
ABOUT RACE.
ABOUT RACE. IT WAS CODED LANGUAGE, RACIAL
DOG WHISTLES, BUT IT WAS ALL
KIND OF UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.
BUT WITH TRUMP’S ELECTION, IT’S
LIKE THE ARMIES STORMING OF
WHITE HOUSE YELLING MAKE AMERICA
GREAT AGAIN AND THIS IS JUST THE
LATEST FLANK OF IT, LATEST
BATTALION.
BATTALION. BECAUSE LOOK AT THIS.
STEVE BANNON IS RUNNING AROUND
EUROPE SAYING WE SHOULD WEAR OUR
ETHNIC PRIDE LIKE A BADGE WITH
PRIDE, RIGHT?
PRIDE, RIGHT? >> WHITE PRIDE.
>> WHITE PRIDE, RIGHT?
AND SO HERE YOU HAVE FOLKS WHO
ARE TRAFFICKING WHITE
SUPREMACIST LOGIC, USING
LANGUAGE WHICH IS DEEPLY AND
PROFOUNDLY ANTI-SEMITIC BECAUSE
THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT JEWISH
FINANCIERS WHO RUN THE WORLD AND
STOKING ALL OF THIS KIND OF FEAR
IN ORDER TO REALLY SET THE STAGE
FOR IN SOME WAYS DISRUPTING THE
WAY IN WHICH WE MOVE ABOUT.
AND TRUMP MAZZHAS MAINSTREAMED T
>> I WANT TO READ FROM A STORY
IN "THE NEW YORK TIMES" TO TALK
ABOUT THE WHAT THE STAKES ARE
AND HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS.
THE PARANOID WORLD VIEW HAS
CROSSED OTHER FROM THE INTERPRET
AND INTO THE REAL WORLD SEVERAL
TIMES IN RECENT MONTHS.
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION PEOPLE
BELIEVED TO BE FOLLOWERS OF
QANON HAVE SHOWN UP SOMETIMES
WITH WEAPONS IN PLACES THAT THE
CHARACTER TOLD THEM WERE SOMEHOW
CONNECTED TO ANTI-TRUMP
CONSPIRACIES.
CONSPIRACIES. A MAN DROVE AN ARMORED VEHICLE
TO THE HOOVER DAM ON WHAT HE
SAID WAS A MISSION FROM QANON.
THAT IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE.
ALSO PIZZAGATE.
ALSO PIZZAGATE. THERE’S THE MICHAEL AVENATTI
EXAMPLE.
EXAMPLE. THIS IS NOT JUST SORT OF FUN AND
GAMES HERE AND IT’S NOT EVEN
JUST WAKCKO.
JUST WAKCKO. THIS IS CROSSING THE BARRIER
INTO THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOWING UP
ARMED AND DANGEROUS.
>> THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
LUNATIC FRINGE IN AMERICAN
POLITICS.
POLITICS. IT’S NEVER HAD SOMEBODY AS
TOLERANT OF THEM IN THE WHITE
HOUSE AS DONALD TRUMP.
HE INDULGES IT TO A CERTAIN
EXTENT.
EXTENT. CERTAINLY WITH THE WHITE
NATIONALISTS AND TO SOME EXTENT
HERE.
HERE. AS A MATTER OF TRADE CRAFT,
JOHN, AS YOU KNOW, THESE RALLIES
ARE TIGHTLY CORDONED.
IF YOU COME INTO ONE YOU’RE
SEARCHED BY THE SECRET SERVICE
AND THEY OPEN YOUR BACKPACK.
IF THEY WANTED TO KEEP Q SIGNS
OUT OF THIS RALLY, THEY COULD.
IF THEY WERE WORRIED ABOUT IT
AND THOUGHT THEY WERE GIVING
LICENSE TO PEOPLE WHO WERE GOING
TO SHOOT UP GAS STATIONS, THEY
COULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THEY’RE NOT.
THEY’RE NOT. THEY’RE NOT.
THEY’RE NOT. >> HERE’S THE QUESTION.
I WANT TO END ON THIS QUESTION.
SO THE ANSWER TO THIS IS WHAT
SOME THE ANSWER TO THIS IS
SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST
DISINFECTANT, WE SHOULD TALK
ABOUT IT TO SHOW HOW DANGEROUS
AND LETHAL IT IS OR TO IGNORE
THIS STUFF AND NOT GIVE IT A
PLATFORM.
PLATFORM. >> WELL, I’M A SUNLIGHT GUY.
I THINK SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST
DISINFECTANT.
DISINFECTANT. AT THE SAME TIME, IT’S A FREE
SPEECH ISSUE.
SPEECH ISSUE. Q IS NOT PROTECTED BY THE FIRST
AMENDMENT IF IT LEADS DIRECTLY
TO VIOLENCE.
TO VIOLENCE. THAT IS WHAT BRANDENBURG HAS
SAID AND THE COURTS HAVE SAID.
WHEN THESE PEOPLIN SENTE ININE I
IT.
IT. >> IGNORE IT.
PEOPLE LIKE ME AND OTHERS, WE
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE REAL-LIFE
CONSEQUENCES OF THESE FOLKS AND
RAISE OUR CHILDREN IN AN
