During a press conference on Wednesday, Donald Trump went full QAnon by not only embracing the conspiracy theorists, but by claiming that they are correct about his mission. This is a group that the FBI has claimed poses a threat to the safety of the United States, and the President is openly welcoming them into his circle. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Yesterday, Donald Trump decided to fully, and finally, I guess, embrace the Q Anon conspiracy theory that he has somehow become the chosen one to go out there and save the planet from a cabal of pedophiles. Um, that is one of the things that Q Anon believes. And yesterday during a white house press conference, Donald Trump actually not just embrace them, but said, yeah, um, I'm pretty much doing that right now. Take a look at this press conference
Theory. It is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this Titanic Colt of pedophiles and cannibals. Does that sound like something you are behind or
I haven't heard that, but, uh, is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing? I mean, you know, if I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to put myself out there and we are actually, we're saving the world from a radical left philosophy that will destroy this country. And when this country is gone, the rest of the world would follow. The rest of the world would follow. So what's happened now as of yesterday, is that Cunanan officially became mainstream within the Republican party. And I know they've got to what's her name over there that won the Republican primary in Georgia. Can't quite remember her name, unfortunately, uh, she is a Q Anon supporter. She's in a deep red district. She is eventually going to become the first Q Anon member of Congress. But yesterday with the president of the United States, embracing it and essentially giving them a wink and a nod confirming their conspiracy theories.
Uh, that's a line that I honestly didn't think we'd ever cross, but we're here and now we, we gotta deal with this thing. Uh, and by the way, it's not just liberals, Democrats, leftists, who are progressive, who think that, uh, we need to do something about this. Uh, it's also conservatives see, after Trump made his, uh, announcement that yes, we are doing what Q Anon says we're doing yesterday. Fox news decided, well, I guess we gotta talk about this. So on Brett bear's program, he asked his panel, uh, which include acts included, Axios reporter, Jonathan Swan, uh, Jonathan Swan said, yeah, you know, this is a, I can't believe he did that. And then the other panelists went even further. And the other panelists who happened to be on at that time was Carl Rove. Carl Rove had the following to say about Trump's little wink and nod to Q1 on Rove said, this is a group of nuts and kooks.
And he ought to disavow them. They may like him, but they like him because they think he's fighting an incredible war against forces of pedigree, Epic, evil, and it's just ridiculous disavow, disavow them get done with it. Uh, he also went on to say that this was a big mistake on the part of the president in case you didn't get that far from his earlier statement there. Um, so that's where we're at Democrats hate it. Republicans hate it, but the president is willing to embrace anyone that loves him. Anyone that thinks he is the greatest thing to ever happen to things really. Um, but here's the truth about Q Anon. They have had several of their members, supporters, cultists, whatever you want to call them arrested, uh, some for extremely violent crimes, some for going out to commit extremely violent crimes, but luckily were stopped before they got the chance to do that.
