first, herschel walker, starting with what is true. in his college, he accomplished what most can only dream of, he s a three-time player of the year with a national championship and heisman trophy to his name. he played pro ball for some of the best teams in the league, competed in the 1992 winter olympics and the last administration, co-chaired the president s council on physical fitness and sports. all of that in short to say that he s plenty to be proud of. among those accomplishments, though, is not a degree from the university of georgia, because he never graduated. he s claimed he was a high school valedictorian. he wasn t. and he suggested he was an fbi agent. i spent time at quantico at the fbi training school. y all know i was an agent? he wasn t. he did claim he was joking. this year, when his comments were reported, his campaign did not tell the newspaper that he was joking. in any case, claiming nonexistent ties to law enforcement is a familiar refrain of his
i after spawn to that. i am a police officer. at the same time mr. walker, mr. walker, excuse me mr. walker. i need you to let you know that you are very well aware of the rules tonight. you have a prop, that is not allowed sir. i ask you to put that prop away. it s not a prop, this is real. he says that i have a prop. mister walker, excuse me sir, you are very well. again, this is familiar territory for walker, claiming ties that you don t exist. here is what he told nbc s christian in a new interview. where is this one from? this is from my hometown, this is from johnson county, from the sheriff of johnson county which is a legit that. this batch, give me the right, let me finish, if anything happened in this county of the right to work with the police if anything is done. does that have a resting authority or it is a honorary badge? they can call me i have one of those two, it is honorary, it has no power actually. he added, i working on enforcement
organized force that seems to be committing quasi acts of terror in the last year are the people committing arson against pro life pregnancy centers, which is not a civil war, is not part of the sort of qanon trump narrative. again, even there, you re just not there is no evidence that there s a large-scale appetite in the united states for people to step from the internet into reality and pick up arms. does that mean people can t be inspired to commit acts of violence? it could happen tomorrow, and it s a terrible thing. but i m very, very skeptical of the leap from there is dangerous rhetoric on the internet that might inspire someone to commit an act of violence to, america is comparable to lebanon in the 1980s. i hope you re right. me, too. you can have me on when the streets are in flame. let s hope it doesn t go
curiosity of qanon, certainly gives out, you know, messages to quaran qanon followers that would seem to imply that she backs them. yeah. anderson, you re right. she has now rejected qanon, decided that qanon was fake news, too. the fundamental precepts of qanon that president trump is fighting this lonely heroic battle against radical democrats and and against the deep state and democrats are essentially, if not pro pedophilia, then codlers of the same, that they are opening the borders and allowing this great replacement to take place. these are part and parcel of qanon, and those are undying precepts not just with congresswoman greene but others on the hard right of the republican party. robert draper, the book is fascinating. thank you. up next, william shatner joins us from los angeles to
americans who are prepared to actually enact real political violence. and i think everything we ve seen since january 6th indicates that the vast majority of people who say things like, you know, biden stole the election, they re taking the country from us, and so, on are not enthusiastic about actual armed conflict and a way that could tip america even into a late 1960s style scenario, let alone the actual terms of where. i d also note that the main when you actually need to get something describable as a civil war are organized forces. that are capable of disrupting the federal government monopoly on fourth. the only organized force or semi organized for us that seems to be committing quasi-acts of terrorism in the last year by the people vandalizing and committing arson against pro-life pregnancy centers, which is not part of the qanon trump narrative. even there, there s no evidence that there s a large-scale appetite in the united states for people to stop from the internet into
