[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=5) I don't necessarily want to, but it's important, so stick with me. [0:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=8) It's about QAnon, your not-so-friendly neighborhood conspiracy cult. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=12) It's gotten so out of hand that even Q, the almighty leader whom nobody has ever met, is disavowing some of the fringiest conspiracy theories being peddled by its loyal followers. Now, let me start from the beginning. [0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=25) QAnon is a movement of people who believe the entire American political and cultural establishment, mainly Democrats and Hollywood executives, are a Satan-worshiping cabal of baby eaters and child sex traffickers. [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=38) I'm not kidding. And here's the kicker. Somehow, Donald Trump is the savior who will defeat all of the pedophiles and jail all of the Democrats. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=46) The conspiracy theories have evolved into something that not even the writers of the Twilight Zone could conjure up. [0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=52) So please, for a moment, just put your phone down and pay attention to this part. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=56) According to the conspiracy theory, Donald Trump is related to the Kennedy family. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=61) Here's how. George Patton is the grandson of Abraham Lincoln. [1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=66) Benito Mussolini is George Patton's brother. [1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=69) Joseph Kennedy, who's the older brother of John F. Kennedy, who we thought died in World War II, actually didn't, but he went into hiding and had a son who happens to be General Michael Flynn, which makes Flynn first cousins to John F. Kennedy Jr. And where is Trump in this nutty family tree? [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=85) Donald Trump is, get this, the biological son of General Patton, which makes Trump the first cousin of JFK Jr., which explains why Donald Trump actually accused Senator Ted Cruz's, Cruz's father of being friends with JFK's killer. [1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=101) He was avenging the death of his uncle. But I'm not done. [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=105) The same people who believe all of this nonsense also believe that this past week, at the same time and place where President John F. Kennedy was killed, his late son, JFK Jr., would reveal himself as alive and well, and he would proclaim that he was re-entering society as Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 presidential election. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=127) Hundreds of people actually showed up in Dallas to witness the second coming of JFK Jr. for the second running of Donald J. Trump. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=135) They came fully prepared. They had shirts and signs that read Trump-Kennedy 2024. [2:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=140) Now, needless to say, neither JFK Jr. nor his father showed up to this party, but the tenacious group of critical thinkers did not give up. [2:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=148) Some members of the group came to the logical epiphany that John-John must be disguised as Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones guitarist. [2:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=157) And as interesting as that may be to us Keith Richards fans, I'm actually not going to go down that rabbit hole because there's only so much crazy one can take on a Sunday morning. [2:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=168) QAnon gra- gained traction during the Trump presidency. [2:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=171) It's still thriving today. In fact, last December, after Trump lost the election, the elusive leader of the group, who, as I said, is named Q, appeared to have a come-to-Jesus moment. [3:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=182) According to NBC News reporter Ben Collins, Q addressed their nation of followers and made three revelations. [3:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=188) One, JFK Jr. is, in fact, dead. Two, the Earth is not flat. [3:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=192) And three, elections are safe. Yet just one month after that, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, QAnon adherents in the crowd, motivated by the big lie that the election was stolen from Donald Trump. [3:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=204) Seems like even Q doesn't control QAnon believers anymore. [3:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=208) This past week, by the way, voters elected at least 10 Republicans to office who attended the rally on January 6th, which turned into a deadly insurrection. [3:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=218) I know all of this sounds absolutely bonkers, but at the end of the day, these people, no mar- no matter how far on the fringe they fall, are fellow Americans who have been manipulated by the system, and they are motivated, and they are turning out to vote. [3:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=234) There will almost certainly be more QAnon supporters on the ballot in 2022. [3:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gkRQq10nNdYe/en/qanon-jfk-jr-and-trump-conspiracy-theories-and-their-political-impact?t=239) So if you think this is scary, you have no idea.
