>> Back in May, a Mob boss by the name of Frank Cali was gunned down and the individual
who shot him was a 24 year old man who was convinced that the Mob boss was behind a conspiracy
against Donald Trump.
So 24 year old Comello, Anthony Comello, is the suspect in this case.
And at first they thought well, he's just trying to climb up the ladder of this mob.
But in reality, he has no ties to the mob whatsoever, and really he was part of this
community of QAnon, these are conspiracy theorists who think that there's some deep space deep
state conspiracy against Donald Trump.
>> And maybe deep space.
>> So he gunned him down, he killed a Mob boss, thinking that this Mob boss was part
of the anti-Trump conspiracy.
Comello was alleged to not have had any mafia ties at all, but did have a relationship with
Cali's niece, of which the Mob boss apparently did not approve.
Court documents indicate that Comello may have been driven to kill Cali by his belief
in QAnon, and again, this is a wide ranging conspiracy theory that alleges the existence
of a deep state conspiracy targeting Donald Trump.
Now, the defense attorney, and this is really the mind blowing aspect of the story.
Is trying to make a case or defense that well, this guy's he's not all there which I can
believe, right?
But he says the following, Mr. Comello became certain that he was enjoying the protection
of President Trump himself and that he had the President's full support.
Mr. Comello's support for QAnon went beyond mere participation in a radical political
organization.
It evolved into a delusional obsession.
>> So look on the one hand, this guy is disturbed, he's tried to do a citizen's arrest in the
past on Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York, Representatives Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff,
both from California.
And he asked the federal marshals to help him arrest Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff,
they politely declined.
So he was actually, apparently, according to the defense attorney, going to arrest the
Mob boss on behalf of Donald Trump.
And he even had handcuffs with him, and then wound up killing him.
>> Yeah.
But this is really the Trump defense, saying my client is so insane that he believes in
Trump.
And so him killing people, he should be found not guilty, because he's so stupid, he believes
in QAnon and this insane theories about Donald Trump.
And by the way, it's a real indictment of the country cuz there's a lot of people at
the Trump rallies with the Q T-shirts, if you guys remember that.
>> Listen Cenk.
>> And it's a significant percentage of the country.
So and this goes to buttress what I've been saying, and I'm super curious what you think
about this week.
But like I think that there these folks are following crazy people and they've lost their
minds.
I mean whether it's Rosanne Barr, is Donald Trump.
Look I don't know how you're gonna feel about this because I think you've written songs
for him.
But Kanye had you know some emotional issues there with Trump and when he was going to
speak to him.
And I think they're literally following crazy people and it's a big chunk of the country.
>> I mean, Trump is clearly mentally ill to begin with, so I can see him attracting mentally
ill people.
I also think that you got to pay attention to QAnon, 4chan these Uber right ultra conservative
kids really are organizing on here and fortune is what drove Charlottesville.
You know what I'm saying?
And really that's the effect of the rhetoric that Trump is spewing and it's a really slick
way to incite actual killing, to stand there when there's when they're chanting, send her
back, send her back.
I'm not saying anything, Miles Davis says that, what you do with the empty space is
almost more valuable than what you say, and you know what I'm saying, musically than the
noise you make.
And so when you let that fester, then you jump in and be like actually, I don't agree
with you.
>> Yes.
>> We know what you mean, and it's correlated to actual killings.
>> First of all, I was gonna quote Miles Davis too, okay?
But he didn't even object at the rally as you guys all know, and then afterwards he
saw I didn't agree, and then one day later was like I forget it, I love that crowd, they're
super patriotic.
>> Right.
>> And went back to agree.
>> Yeah, so you touched on something so important because we know where they gather online,
and where they share these conspiracy theories, and where they basically list their targets
or who they think is part of this so called Deep State conspiracy theory.
So my question is, we have a murder now, right?
And were there FBI agents keeping track of the conversations that were taking place on
these online forums?
And look, I just think that after various stories including Pizza Gate where someone
literally showed up to a pizza shop in Washington, DC with a gun and luckily no one got hurt
in that case.
I mean Federal officials should be hyper aware of what's going on and they should at least
monitor this stuff, right?
Because look, there's a problem with mental health in America.
And it's not that we're different from other countries when it comes to the prevalence
of mental health conditions.
We are different from other countries and how we deal with it.
>> Right.
>> Right?
People are undiagnosed, they don't have access to mental healthcare.
They don't even have access to regular healthcare to take care of physical ailments outside
of mental health conditions.
And so yeah, this problem is gonna continue festering and people are gonna continue getting
hurt because you have a president who likes to incite violence.
>> Well, there's two other things that are different for America than the rest of countries
and in regards to a very similar percentage of people who have mental health issues.
We arm the people in our country who have mental health issues, we allow them to get
weapons, no problem at all.
So I mean, that's a mental health issue at large for the country, we're all crazy for
doing that.
And guys, some people get offended when you use the word, crazy, etc., etc.
We're talking about a small percentage of people who have mental health issues that
are prone to violence, a small percentage.
But arming them makes no sense.
And then on top of that, the third difference between us and the rest of the world is that
we have politicians who encourage them.
We're like, my God, the Deep State, Mueller and his 19 angry Democrats have a conspiracy
against me, a witch hunt, it's a hoax.
They have this thing in QAnon that they think that the storm is when Trump finally gets
everyone involved in Deep State conspiracy.
And then in his speeches he leaves bread crumbs for QAnon followers decipher.
Well, when he says things like witch hunt and hoax-
>> Yeah.
>> And they're all conspiring against me, that's your bread crumbs.
And he's encouraging and encouraging this madness because he himself is a lunatic who
used to believe that, and probably still believes that, Obama wasn't born here, and all the
conspiracy theories.
He believes wind causes cancer.
I mean, are you kidding me?
We're having people in the establishment snicker at Marianne Williamson because of her self-empowerment
talks?
We have a lunatic in the White House who thinks windmills cause cancer.
So I've told this before, one of my neighbors has a QAnon bumper sticker.
>> Well that's terrifying.
>> It is, because these people have lost their goddamn minds.
>> Yeah, I don't know about QAnon as much, but 4chan, if you've ever been on there, you
realize that it can't be monitored, everything is anonymous.
When you post, immediately, within seconds, thousands of posts have already covered you
up.
And it's like, what we can monitor, like you're saying is to people that are put into positions
of power.
It's almost difficult for me to be incredulous about things like this because it's like,
although it doesn't make logical sense, it makes Americans sense.
America is founded on violence and that's been a lot on there, that's how we get to
be here.
>> Yeah, I mean- >> Yeah.
>> And I know it's a different story but I keep thinking about Taters Gonna Tare, right?
And it's a story that we covered yesterday about a cop in Louisiana who shared a fake
news story, arguing that AOC wants to cut pay for our soldiers.
Now again, it's a fake news story from a site called Taters Gonna Tate.
But a cop, who's given the responsibility of keeping people safe, just believed it and
posted it and claimed that basically she should get shot.
>> But lastly in this case, this is not like politics tit for tat or tit for taters or
whatever, right?
So this is this is serious stuff because Christopher Ray who is Trump's appointment for the head
of the FBI, you remember obviously, famously fired James Comey.
Christopher Ray now the head of the FBI when testified and said yes, the majority of domestic
terrorism attacks are by right wing extremists in this country.
That's just a fact, right?
And you mentioned kids on 4chan, Vic, you're right about that, and a lot of times it's
this portion of the young males, etc.
But now these are grown ass men.
That's a cop in Louisiana, my neighbour is a grown ass man, and it's not just isolated
incidents.
Pizza Gate, They think that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are involved
in some sort of pedophile ring.
There was an actual pedophile ring run by Jeffrey Epstein.
>> Great friend.
>> Who was great friends with Donald Trump.
>> They're friends, exactly.
>> They're all over video together throughout all those years and all those decades piling
around talking about women, etc, right?
And they're like, no, the one hanging out with the pedophile is not the problem.
It's the people targeting him because you guys have lost your God damn minds.
I mean, look I don't wanna hear all the Republicans called a pedophiles, that list is incredibly
long.
But you mentioned the guy who went in with a gun earlier this year.
Another 22 year old went into a pizza shop, he thought was involved with Pizza Gate and
try to burn it down.
For God sake, FBI, Department of Homeland Security, we're not asking you to track all
right-wingers, that's crazy, that's hundreds of millions of people.
But when you have legitimate issues with people who have lost their minds and are threatening
violence, for God's sake, do your job and track it.
>> Yeah.
>> That's what it is that they need to pay attention to.
That's what they need to stop, point blank.
