(dramatic music)
- I'm back at my first Trump rally since January 6th, 2021,
a day no one will ever forget,
unless you're a Republican member of Congress.
Yes, Trump is gathering people once again.
So I headed to my favorite Iowa state capitol,
where the crowd was ready to proclaim Trump won
and Trump won and Trump won and rides a tank.
And even though Trump won, they're hoping he runs again.
- Hey, no better place to announce the candidacy
than here in the hawkeye state.
- Are we ready for this?
I mean the last guy hasn't even conceded yet.
- Well I mean, I, I have some choice words for,
especially our vice president,
but I'm trying to be civil today so.
- My last Trump rally was January 6th.
Have you seen any gallows go up anywhere?
- Nope. - No.
- Do you think Mike Pence will show up here today
or does he not want to hang?
- Oh, I think he would be afraid to show up here today.
- Why is that?
- 'Cause he was a coward, he didn't do the right thing.
That's why.
- Or because these people tried to kill him.
- Well, I don't think they would.
That's, I don't think they would try to kill him.
- The MAGA faithful express their support
for the former president in all the totally normal ways,
with Confederate flags in Iowa
and images of Trump on a velociraptor with a machine gun.
- You know, people say oh Trump's there, that's a cult,
blah blah blah, but I feel like cult is such
a negative word.
We are not a cult.
We are a group of Americans that love our country
and want it back.
- Are there any old hits or things you hope he goes back to?
- Oh gosh, I feel like whatever he spews out of his mouth
I just love it.
(laughing)
I just love.
- It doesn't matter what he says?
- Yeah.
- We're gonna love it, we're gonna love being here.
We're going to love hearing what he has to say.
- But this isn't a cult.
- No, I don't think so.
- Not a cult at all.
It's not like they would rather almost piss themselves
than miss a second of the Donald's speech.
But if they're already looking to Trump's
yet to be announced 2024 campaign,
what are the big issues?
- I really hope he gets to the topic of the border crisis.
- That's one of the bigger things right now
because that's completely being brushed under the rug.
- And you're from Iowa?
- I'm from Iowa.
- So you're worried about people coming from Minnesota?
- Um.
- Trump's potential campaign would also be about healing
the broken nation caused by
the current Biden administration.
- I mean obviously this administration is doing all it can
to pit each other against each other.
- Yeah, every way, shape, and form.
They've been trying to divide it.
- It's like this administration is giving the middle finger
to half the whole country.
- The whole country if you ask me.
The whole damn country.
- That's just wrong.
- It's absolutely wrong.
- We shouldn't be giving the middle finger
to half the country.
- Right.
- We should be loving one another and working together.
- We should be, we should be working together.
- Right, right.
- It doesn't matter what your opinions are,
we can still be civil to each other
and still be this great country that we are supposed to be.
Or we were at one point in time.
- Yeah, doing this is childish.
- Yes.
- I've had people stop talking to me for my views.
- They should show respect. - Yes.
- What's what's going on with your shirts?
- I think they speak for themselves do they not?
- Why doesn't someone want to engage with that am I right?
- Exactly.
- This is sort of like the Trump welcome sign right?
Maybe the most surprising moment of the rally
was when I ran into an old friend
I thought I'd never see again.
Q's back and there's Q shit everywhere.
Yes, the online conspiracy following a mysterious character
known as Q was more popular than ever.
Is that a Q?
- Yeah.
- Are you a Q supporter?
- Certainly.
- Wasn't Q's whole thing that Trump would be
reinstated as president?
- He's never left.
There's no doubt in my mind, 150000%.
- That he's still president United States, really?
Does he still hold the powers of the presidency?
- Well, he's been flying around the world on Air Force One.
That says something.
- I thought Joe Biden's technically on Air Force One.
No.
So they're faking it?
- Yeah, it's not even a presidency.
- Who is running the government right now?
- President Trump.
- He's running the government?
- And the military.
- And he's running the military.
So we should blame him for what happened in Afghanistan.
- No.
- But it's still his fault.
- It's way beyond my. - Understanding.
- I don't, I don't.
- Thank you for talking to me George,
enjoy seeing president, current president Trump.
- Thank you.
- So Q is telling them that Trump is still the president
and also where to park their cars.
A lot of characters here today,
we have a woman directing traffic wearing a Q Anon shirt.
I assume she's also inspecting cars for lizard people
and make-believe pedophile rings.
And thanks to online bullshit they have
a very interesting take on who was behind
the January 6th insurrection.
- Oh, Antifa, like the corrupt FBI, basically RINOs,
corrupt politicians, the deep state, all of that.
- I don't believe that it was people like me
and people like you see over there in that crowd
that did it.
- Who, who was behind?
- FBI, CIA, Antifa were used.
Other, other groups like that.
- It seemed like a lot of them were going
into the Capitol to attack Nancy Pelosi and perhaps hang.
- Who, who, which one, the one with the bull horns?
He's not a Trump supporter.
I don't care what his resume says.
He's not a Trump supporter.
In fact, do you remember the picture of the plane
in Afghanistan with all the people running next to it?
That was a balloon plane.
If you look at the pictures of the real plane
and there's pieces that are missing from the real plane
to that plane.
- You're saying there's a conspiracy around
the Afghanistan withdrawal?
- No, I'm saying that there was one guy there who ran.
See the only guy who turned to the camera
and waved his hands.
Do you all remember that?
Everybody remember that?
He's the guy with the horns on his hat.
- He was in Afghanistan?
- Yes, go look at the pictures.
- I think he's in jail right now.
- No, that's what they tell you, who's gonna.
- Are we gonna find pictures of like the horn guy
in like the background of old Civil War photos
or paintings of the Revolutionary War?
- I'm jut telling you the picture looks just like him.
- Can America's centuries old democracy survive
the 2024 campaign?
Maybe this guy knows.
