During his recent interview with Fox & Friends, Donald Trump claimed that he's "ok with" the idea of him going to prison. However, he included one very important caveat that many believe could be a signal to his violent base. Trump said that while he's fine with going to jail, "the public" likely wouldn't be, and that could lead to some bad things happening. This covert call to action is exactly how the Capitol Riots came into being, with Trump's rhetoric gradually getting more and more violent until the violence actually began. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

During an interview that aired this past weekend on Fox and friends, Donald Trump said that he is actually totally okay with going to jail. It's just that his supporters, you know, the public really, uh, they're the ones who aren't gonna handle it so well, here's what happened. He was asked by, uh, one of the hosts if he was okay with being sentenced, you know, to, to prison or maybe even just house arrest. And Trump said, I'm okay with it. I'm not sure the public would stand for it. I think it'd be tough for the public to take. At a certain point, there's a breaking point.

There's a breaking point with the public. Donald Trump says, and I'm assuming that point comes when he repeats a lie so many times, that his, you know, low information base decides to take it upon themselves to do something about it. That is exactly by the way, what happened with January 6th, 2021. For a month and a half, actually, basically two straight months, Donald Trump had been feeding it into those people's brains that the election was stolen. I'm the rightful winner. They took this from me. They're screwing you over. I'm the victim. And eventually we had the Capitol riot because of those lies. Now, he's trying to do the same thing here. Oh, I'm fine with it, but it's you people, you know, y'all are the real victims here. I mean, I'm the bigger victim, but you know, I feel bad for you. I'm okay with my punishment. I will accept it, but you won't, you will fight.

You will do these things that I want you to do. That is the, the undertone of that statement. And by the way, Donald Trump didn't stop there. He continued. He said, I think in many ways it's tougher on them than it is on me. They're good people, all of them. Everyone, everyone. He's supposed to be referring to his family, but he said, you know, they're good people. So I'm assuming he's not talking about his family, but he continued, and this is the dumbest part. He said, I have a wonderful wife who has to listen to this stuff all the time. They do that for this reason. They do that. All these salacious names that they put in of these people, and I'm not even allowed to defend myself because of the gag order, think of it. But they put this stuff into create havoc. These are bad people. I know everything they're doing. I know every move they make, I get it. So once again, with the calls to his base, essentially, like, these are bad people. They're doing bad things. That's what he does, folks. And as we approach that sentencing date of July 11th, which seems like an eternity away, but it'll be here before we know it, the rhetoric like this is going to increase. Now, we've already seen, and I've already talked about yesterday, the fact that we do have all of these violent threats coming in from these MAGA supporters, and they're all dumb enough to be doing it online, where it's very easy to

Trace who they are. So hopefully the FBI is actually paying attention to this and paying little visits to these folks. But Trump's rhetoric will get worse, and the worse his rhetoric gets, the more violent his base could potentially become, because that is what we've seen happen in the past. Okay?
