During the pandemic the qanon movement has been appears to be gaining
a lot of followers.
Can you talk about what you think about that and what you have to say
to people who are following this movement right now?
(Qanon movement is gaining followers. What do thing about that? What do have to say to the anons?)
P:
Well I dont know much about the movement other than I understand they
like me very much.
Which I appreciate, but I dont know much about the
movement.
I have heard that it is gaining in popularity, and from what I hear its
these are people that when they watch the streets of portland, when
they watch what happened in new york city in just the last six or seven
months but this was starting even four years ago when I came here.
Almost four years can you believe it?
These are people who dont like seeing whats going on in places like
portland, and places like chicago and new york and other cities and
states.
And Ive heard these are people that love our country and they just dont
like seeing it.
So I dont know really anything about it other than they do supposedly
like me, and they also would like to see problems in these areas like
especially the areas that were talking about go away, because theres
no reason the democrats cant run a city and if they cant we will send
in all of the federal whether its troops or law enforcement whatever
theyd like well send them in well straighten out their problem in 24
hours or less okay.
(They like me, I appreciate it. It is gaining in popularity. Like dont like whats going on.)

At the crux of the theory it is this belief that you are secretly saving
the world from this satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals (P: head nod yes) does that
sound like something (P: head nod no) you are behind?
(They think you are saving the world from a satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals. Are you behind that?)
P:
Well I havent ive havent heard that but 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 im willing to do it im willing
to put myself out there and we are actually.
Were 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 thats the importance of this country
and when you look at some of the things that these people are saying with
defund the police and no borders, open borders everybody just pour right
into our country, no testing no nothing.
You know you talk about testing, no testing, mexico as you know has a very
high rate of infection.
The wall is now going to be next week 300 miles long, our numbers are
extraordinary on the border.
Had that, and this is through luck perhaps more than talent although the
talent is getting built when one party refuses to allow it.
You dont hear talk about the wall anymore.
But I will say this, we need strength in our country not weakness, too
much weakness.
(I havent heard that, but is that a good thing? If I can save the world, Im willing. And we are actually. Were saving the world from a radical left philosophy.)
