- i'm jordan klepper, and i'm back where it all began, in the very same parking lot where i interviewed hundreds of fired up trump supporters, here in hershey, pennsylvania. or lancaster, pennsylvania. or... shit. this might be jersey. the point is, i've definitely been here before. because i remember doing a badass hero shot over there, interviewing some women drinking wine at 10:00 in the morning, and walking out of that corn field like a boss. although there's no more corn field. so, thanks a lot, president joe biden. last year, i followed trump supporters to his rallies, from parking lots just like this one all the way to the steps of the capitol. then i stopped because sedition's not really my thing. i'm more of a jaywalking guy. but now that the election's over and the glass has been cleaned up from the capitol, i wanted to look back and reflect on this past year, and see how this led to this.

- yes, the king of debt is very good at staying on brand because he owes lots of cities money. maybe you send a tough guy to go get money from him. like, you're the mayor of new mexico. you don't know mike from "breaking bad"? - i don't, but i have heard actually as a person, he's a great dude, and he really also loves albuquerque. - when people out there hear that a city doesn't get $200,000, what does that actually mean to a place like albuquerque? where would that money go? - really what happens, it just goes into the general fund and we use it to operate the city. so, police force or fire, all of those services. - is it fair to say that donald trump has effectively defunded the police? i mean, i knew it was happening somewhere in america. apparently it's happening somewhat in albuquerque. - by that definition, you could say that. - knowing that he owes $200,000 to albuquerque might mean he'll never come to albuquerque again, and is that worth it? - that's all right with us. we're totally fine with that. - i got a little gift for you that i think could be helpful. i wanted to send this your way. "welcome to albuquerque... we do not accept checks from donald j. trump."

- i was at the last trump rally, and it was definitely not a lot of fun. what does he think about what happened at the capitol on january 6th? - well, i don't support-- let me put it to you this way. i don't think the way it's reported is-- is what actually went down. i saw a different perspective. nobody i knew was going there to overthrow the government or break into the capitol building. - what does your shirt say? - what? - "million maga march." - yes. - "be there. we'll be wild." - yeah, well, we had a fun-- look, we-- listen... - (stammering) but-- i-- you're literally wearing a shirt that has intention on it. and the intention is it being wild. - well, i can sell-- i can sell it-- okay, but we had a wild time the first two. we didn't cause any trouble. we had a lot of fun. - so then when a president stands up and says, "you need to fight for me," that they might literally go and fight? - we're playing semantic games now? - you went there with the... - yes. - ...complete intention to disregard what donald trump said? - yes. whoever went into the capitol building, these were not trump fans 'cause nobody would have walked out on his speech. they broke in, he was still speaking for half an hour.

- who were those people? - uh, well, you know, i've heard news reports that one of them was an integral member of antifa. whatever happened on january 6th, they-- meaning the people who don't like president trump, the democrats, nancy pelosi, allowed this to happen. - they were trying to kill nancy pelosi. was she say-- saying, "bring it on"? - let me tell you, some of them, i think, maybe are being... unfairly persecuted. - really? - yeah. the fbi came to my house after the rally. - (chuckles) well, at least they're doing their job. - (laughing) - gives me a little bit of hope. did you flip on anybody? - i don't flip on anybody. - did you turn somebody in? you're running around free right now. - no, no, no, of course i wouldn't, i-- first of all, i had nothing to flip because my point of view is peaceful. as the fbi asked me, they wanted to know if i breached the capitol building. i said, "of course i didn't." i said, that would have been the stupidest thing in the world. - but the guy that you pledged your life and your wardrobe to told you to, essentially, do exactly that.

so, what's next after the violent insurrection that he doesn't think donald trump told them to do? well, turns out they're just waiting for donald trump to tell them what to do. - we're not giving up. you know, it's not over. we're coming back. - in what way? - uh, it depends on what the boss tells us to do. (laughing) - uh, "donate," i think, was the last thing from up on high. - i've donated a lot to him, you know, i hope he-- - purposefully, or you look at your bank account and realize, "oh, shit, i guess it happened again." i didn't want to leave without finding some common ground with edward. he previously described trump as a superhero, a rock star. but had edward come back to the reality that the president of the united states is mortal, who's not impervious to criticism, and technically works for us. - you've seen "braveheart," of course? everybody's seen "braveheart." - i-i have seen "braveheart." - yes. donald trump is our william wallace. - (laughing) - that's right. i mean, maybe-- - they both do wear a lot of makeup. - maybe they drew him and quartered him metaphorically but he left behind a very strong, vocal, and patriotic force of people.

- you know what? i-i want to find a middle ground here, i-- how about this? donald trump, i don't see him as your william wallace, but he is a lot like mel gibson. - (laughing) all right, i-- i-- - can we agree on that? - i'll give you that. - there we go! - i'll give you that. (both laughing) - i knew we'd find some common ground. i guess some ground is better than no ground. ♪ 's only serves one kinda breakfast a better one so chuck your old soggy egg-wich, and pick up two of these freshly made sandwiches at wendy's for just 4 bucks. choose wisely, choose wendy's 2 for $4. step up. prep up. to help keep you free from the risk of hiv. descovy for prep. a once-daily prescription medicine... ...that helps lower the chances of getting hiv through sex. it's not for everyone. descovy for prep has not been studied in people assigned female at birth. talk to your doctor to find out if it's right for you.
