Content Warning.
The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about QAnon, which means we have to talk about all kinds of child abuse and violence against people.
Listener discretion advised.
Hello, everybody.
I am Mike Rains, a.k.a.
Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
I am joined, as always, by Sarge.
Content warning.
Adventures in Hellworld is rad.
That's what it should be.
And the Mysterious L. Hello, my beautiful babies.
My name is Mysterio.
Mysterio.
I like that.
Mysterio.
Sounds like a Superman villain.
This is not what you said my name is Mysterio, right?
It's me?
Hello!
My wife!
So the reason I've got Borat impression on the parade is because I just recently started a new D&D campaign with some friends over Zoom and my character is supposed to have like a sort of vaguely Mediterranean accent because he's sort of like based on like Greek heroes or whatever.
And, uh, it was going well until I had cause to say the word wife, and then immediately it just became MY WIFE!
Oh no, I totally lost the pocket.
I was like, fuck you, Sacha Baron Cohen.
You've ruined the words MY WIFE forever.
Anyway, that's a little peek behind the curtain on my life to keep it light and breezy before we talk about the fucking horrible... Goddamnit.
Yeah, I mean, mostly I was just laughing out of embarrassment that I did not see it when I was saying it.
Yeah, I was right there.
Yeah, peek behind the curtain, and I'm not laughing!
But yeah, so, you know, I know we did a content warning up top, but don't worry, we're going to get to the amuse-bouche where we try to keep it light and breezy here in a second.
Double content warning.
Some horrible shit has gone down in our country over the past week, and because we cover such things, we're gonna have to talk about it.
So, here's your double secret content warning for those of you who've made it this far.
We will be discussing the various massacres happening in America this week.
It's going to suck going down.
So just like up top, we just want to recognize that yes, this week may be even a little more punchy than normal in terms of the wretchedness of the content we have to cover.
That being said, let's keep it light and breezy!
How dare you warn me to keep it light and breezy at the top!
I'm sorry I couldn't keep our content warning light and breezy.
We don't have a soundboard for me to hit a button to make a fart sound.
We're gonna have to talk about a race massacre!
EEEEWGAH!
Or whatever, you know what I mean?
It's like...
I'm only one man.
You can only keep it so light, it's so breezy.
But we can certainly start with our sexiest, most recent segment of the show.
The sort of palate-preparing amuse-bouche where we talk about stuff that really doesn't matter.
And what matters less than Durham?
We've been talking about it for so long for something that actually matters exactly zero, but for the first time in maybe the history of ever, we actually have the needle moving on Durham news.
So, Mike, what's the deal with Durham?
Uh, the deal is, is that finally, uh, his incredibly flimsy case against Michael Sussman for lying to the FBI has gone to trial.
And it appears that he's building a case against pretty much not Sussman.
Like this whole thing is just this farce that where.
They're trying to make it out that Sussman going to the FBI and telling them, hey, guys, this whole thing with Trump and this Alpha Bank, it's probably no big deal.
It is something that we really don't want.
Basically, we don't want the New York Times or anyone publishing any stories about it, because we don't know what's there.
We don't know if there is a there there.
And one thing led to another, and the New York Times ended up publishing an article that was literally, in investigation of Trump, FBI finds no clear connections to Russia.
The Durham prosecution is based upon that article, which obviously drove the Hillary Clinton campaign up a wall because tying Trump to Russia was one of their go-to moves to try to win the election.
Durham's whole case is literally that that article was a successful October surprise by the Clinton campaign against Trump, and that Sussman was in on it to try to implicate Trump.
And it's like, You do realize that that article was exactly the opposite of what the Clinton campaign wanted.
It was 100% not the goal.
And the American man's like, nope, Sussman totally set things up in motion so that that article would get made, he lied to the FBI about what his intent was when he talked to them, because he was working for Hillary, he was working for the Democrats, and that was his nefarious scheme, was to basically give Trump good press weeks before the election.
Because my brain is too filled with pop culture bullshit, I'm just gonna admit it to you and you, pointing to both of my co-hosts, and also you, pointing generally to our audience.
I don't remember who Durham or Sussman are.
I'm glad you said it, too.
I don't remember shit about Durham.
It was so long ago and so irrelevant, I was just like, yeah, aside from Durham just being a punchline, I don't need to know who these people are anymore.
He was always such a nothing burger.
Oh, because he is nothing.
John Durham was a guy appointed by Bill Barr millions of years ago to quote-unquote look into the origins of the investigations into Trump-Russia and the 2016 election.
It was basically just, it was basically saying, oh, you thought Trump colluded with Russia?
Well, we're going to prove that you were lying about all that.
It's an attempt to discredit the Steele dossier.
It's basically trying to create this whole idea that investigating Trump's ties to Russia was illegitimate, that it was illegal, that it was done...
In a politically motivated hatchet way, and that the origin story that has been told to us, the American people, that George Papadopoulos getting a little too drunk at a bar and telling a bunch of Australian diplomats, hey, we were totally in bed with Russia, and they're going to screw Hillary and get Trump elected.
And then those Australians ran to American law enforcement.
One thing led to another, and this is what happened.
They're trying to throw that all out.
They're basically just saying that, like, Obama on down, we're just like, we need to get Trump, and we're gonna get him by tying him to Russia.
And now I'm gonna have the DOJ and the FBI and everyone illicitly go after him, and blah blah blah.
I love how this is the guy they supposedly quote-unquote activated, like, and now the ball is fully rolling.
They should just leave that alone, because I wanna say that, how long did it take for people to just, like, stop caring about the Trump-Russia collusion thing?
Like, a month?
Like, honestly, it's like a wacky footnote in the history of, like, the four years of shame that we had to endure.
How long did it happen by the pussy last?
Oh no, I would say that on the spectrum of stuff that is important...
Our government, like, people in our government colluding with a foreign government to put a president in the White House is more important than a guy saying some foul shit about sexually assaulting people.
Yeah, I'm just saying... Don't get me wrong, they both suck, but... Yeah, I'm talking about the national attention span.
Yeah, exactly.
Nobody gave a shit about that.
And then people gave, like, slightly more of a shit about the Russia thing, but they were just like, Trump did a bunch of bad stuff, he got impeached, okay, cool.
And then he was just still president for two years or whatever, so...
Yeah, my point was more to the attention span, like how fast, like the recency bias in America is wild.
Well, anywhere really, but especially in American politics.
Trump has done so many heinous things.
And yes, colluding with a foreign government would far and away Probably be the worst but like there were so many heinous things that he did during the election the 2016 election that should have just been the end of the game and
I mean, I guess they have nothing to hang their hat on.
But it's just like, at the end of the day, it's just like, why?
Like, QAnon should probably not be the people that are still like, you know...
I mean, I guess they have nothing to hang their hat on.
So, given that they have nothing to hang their hat on, they need to generate little hat hooks out of...
Oh my god, this thing from like five years ago!
It's back!
And it's happening!
It's just like, what?
Nobody cares about... Who cares?
The guy that was involved is not even the president anymore.
Like, we had credible information that made it seem like he'd colluded with... Or people he was involved with had colluded with a foreign nation to get him the presidency.
And everybody was just like, that sucks!
And then stopped caring.
So like, I mean, why are we dragging it out still, boys?
I mean, to your metaphor, Trump is one of their major hat hooks, and they lost the election, and now they are just desperate for anything that has to do with Trump making him relevant.
Well, the reason why this is so important to them is because Durham is supposed to be finally the guy that's going to arrest Hillary.
He's going to be the one that brings down the deep state.
I've seen so many memes of Police officers with Durham and Trump's heads superimposed over them.
And then Hillary's head superimposed over the person being arrested doing the perp walk.
The 21 Jump Street where the two doofy idiots are like teabagging the guy they arrested and then the guy pulls out his gun and is just shooting it in the air and celebrating.
Like that video has been remade with Durham and Trump's heads.
Over the cops and Hillary's head over the guy laying on the ground being arrested there the There's just this mythos that Sussman's gonna get convicted.
And if you don't know who Sussman is, it doesn't matter.
No one knows who he is He's absolutely he's absolutely less than nobody and he's been charged with I believe one count of lying to the FBI which is just a ridiculous back when Michael Flynn got charged with that and The right wing was whining about it being a process crime, and it's bullshit, and it's all trumped up, and it's fake.
But this guy getting hit up for the same charge, 100% totally legitimate, and once Sussman gets convicted, they're going to go to Michael Steele, they're going to go to all Hillary's lawyers, and eventually... The dominoes are going to start falling.
The dominoes are going to start falling, and Hillary's going to get it.
Hillary is finally going to get cuffed and stuffed.
Q-drops 1 and 2 will finally Reach fruition.
It'll be a 14-year delta at that point, probably, but it's... Pizzagate is real.
Everything.
My dad... My wife didn't leave me.
I can see my kids again.
Yeah.
All of it.
Every last thing you just said there.
Oh my god.
It's... Could have been noticed there was a little bit of a stubble after you said those two magic words, as if though you were just like, oh no.
Like you were bracing for somebody to jump in with an impression.
But I managed to stifle myself.
Speaking of stifling myself, let's stifle a conversation about this douchebag, because he's useless and everything about him is worthless.
Let's move on to somebody else who is also useless and worthless, but in terms of their personality and what they're doing, not in terms of financially, because Elon Musk is certainly not worthless.
He's the richest man on the planet.
But he sure is getting a little bit cagey about his $44 billion offer to buy Twitter, as if somebody came up to him and was just like, Hey, no matter how rich you are, that's still like 20% of your net worth, bro.
So like, what's the deal?
And so, it seems like the needle has been moving on the Twitter deal as well.
So, Mike, what's the deal with the Elon Twitter buyout?
What's the deal?
Yeah, have you seen this?
Have you heard about this?
A little bit, a touch, yes.
So Elon has basically been freaking out on Twitter.
And he's talking about how the deal might have to be put on hold because Twitter has too many bots.
And he has been articulating incredibly incoherent ways to check the amount of bots Twitter actually has.
Something was posted and Elon replied to it asking the SEC to start investigating into Twitter.
That seems like the sort of move you would like to do before you make an offer to buy a thing.
Right.
Oh, I'm going to get right into that in a moment, but also like, I believe Twitter CEO posted a thing about like what their level of bot networks are and this, that, the other thing.
And Elon responded to it with a poop emoji because he's a, because he's a fucking child.
But, uh, as someone pointed out, I saw when Elon was rushing through this, uh, $44 billion offer to purchase Twitter while they were negotiating He agreed to waive due diligence.
He was just like, I want you to take this money.
I want to, I want to just close the deal and begin the process of buying Twitter, which is going to require.
And I, and also Elon was like, he wanted to make it a private company.
So he wanted to like just own Twitter lock, stock and barrel and begin the process of buying out all the other shareholders with this 44 billion dollar payment and all this stuff.
So Elon was like, I don't need due diligence.
I know what Twitter is.
I'm good.
I'm buying it.
Oh, yeah The buying a social media platform equivalent of $40,000 over asking price no inspection Yes, exactly!
Boy howdy, if you're trying to buy a house in the market right now, you know those words.
Like, hey, I'd like to buy this property.
Well, guess what?
You don't get to inspect it, and you have to ask, like, $10,000 to $50,000 over the asking price.
Like, that'll get your foot in the door.
If you're not willing to do those things... Oh, and it should be a cash offer, and not contention.
So, if you want to buy a house right now, or a Twitter, I guess, that is what you need to do.
Or a Twitter.
Yes!
Oh, that's really lucky for me, because I happen to own a Twitter.
I should put that on the market right now and see if I can get a couple billion dollars for it.
Oh, dude, it'll be valued at like $38 billion, but you'll be able to get $44 billion no due diligence, like easy.
Yeah.
Yeah, and Elon later on said that he might try to buy Twitter for less than what he agreed to pay for it, which, no, that's not how contracts work.
That's not how this works!
That's not how any of this works!
Exactly!
So it should seem like at the end of the day, Twitter is just going to get one billion free dollars out of Elon Musk, right?
Because that's his contract breaking fee, it was a billion dollars.
Yes, that was the if-you-walk-away fee, but at this point I'm also seeing some legal experts saying that, hey, Twitter might be able to just literally tell Elon, you have to buy us.
We literally made the deal.
No takesies-backsies.
You don't have a legal way to not purchase us, so we actually want the $44 billion.
We want all of it.
We want you to own Twitter, and whether or not you want to own Twitter anymore is immaterial, because we have a binding contract between us and you, for you get Twitter, we get $44 billion.
So, like, that might be part of also the reason why Elon's, like, doing all this shit at this point.
Well, it seems like Elon Musk could probably use some positive press, which is why, once again, if you're listening to this, Elon, give me one million United States dollars and my opinion of you will change.
I would like one million United States dollars from Elon Musk.
I've been trying to get it off him on Twitter and he's not listening.
So, you know, assuming that he is he is a listener to the show, which, of course, how could he not be?
Yeah.
Give me one million dollars, United States dollars.
Just think, Elon, one third of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast will be in your corner for every podcast we do after El gets that crisp million dollars from you.
Yeah, and I mean, I don't want to put words in anybody's mouth, but I'm pretty sure that if you happen to have two million other dollars, you could get the whole gang on board.
You better fucking believe it.
We can still cover Q and talk about how shitty they are, then we can have our weekly segment, Elon Musk is great, he gave us $1,000,000 in United States dollars.
All hail South Africa emerald miners.
Hooray!
Let's not get too hasty because We're already doing enough hailing because apparently, I can't believe I have to, this is like, it's in the abuse bush, it's a thing I just can't believe I have to talk about.
In my notes here I have it written down as King Trump, which is just sort of an amalgamation of this sort of Groundswell of weird, or maybe it's always been happening, I'm just noticing it more now, but like, Donald Trump as American royalty, literally king of America, like, stuff happening on Twitter or whatever.
Specifically, there's a Sweet New Children's book on the market, if you're interested.
Jesus.
I'm gonna throw it over to Mike Rades, who hopefully has the hot skinny on this.
So what's up with Donald Trump, King of America?
Yes, so Kash Patel, one of the main movers and shakers on Truth Social, Who is a sad little grifter of his own.
He created a book called The Plot Against the King, which the cover of this book has Donald Trump as, like, he's definitely shed a few pounds.
He's not quite the absurd Adonis.
Yeah.
He's not the absurd Adonis that you often see in these And in right wing media, but he is your king.
And then there's a bunch of people all around him.
One of whom appears to be Queen Hillary, which is King Trump and Queen Hillary married.
Are they together?
Is she a queen of a rival evil land?
I this, this confuses me.
And, um, Basically, this is a children's book where the evil Queen Hillary and the bad people try to stop King Trump from ruling the world and doing good things and Trump defeats them because he's awesome and good and Cash Patel plays Merlin in this book.
He has his wizard hat and his staff and he has a knight with him who is obviously another right-wing grifter that I don't care to figure out the name of.
And the two of them uncover Queen Hillary's evil plot against King Trump.
Okay.
Because Biden had some dum-dums, just come up with the term, the Great MAGA King for Trump, and also Ultra MAGA, and QAnon has embraced both of these things aggressively.
Um, the fact that we have a King book out at this point is just, uh, just the cherry on top of all that stupidity.
And, uh, the one thing I would say to the messaging, uh, people in the Biden administration is that if you're going to make this MAGA King, uh, commentary, you need to go the whole nine yards with it and explain that like the Republicans are beholden to King Trump.
That this guy lost by 8 million votes and yet Governor DeSantis and Ted Cruz and Mark Rubio and every other idiot who thinks they should be president, they're all going to kiss Trump's ring and they're not going to be able to run a serious primary against him because they all know that the Republican primary voter is a brainless Trump robot and that's why they're enslaved to this man.
Who again, lost one election by three million votes and another election by eight million votes.
Like that is the dunk you have to land here.
And it's like, like the Biden messaging team came up with like the throw the ball towards the hoop, but they didn't actually have someone jump up and then dunk the ball through the hoop.
And therefore this message... Wait, so who put out this book?
The book was put out by Kesh Patel and some right-wing media grifter agency.
It just happened to get timed up perfectly with the whole Great MAGA King nonsense from Biden.
So, I mean, literally, it couldn't have been a more perfect way to get them dumb free press.
And it's just like, God damn it, really?
This was the move we went for here?
Ugh.
Boo.
Bad.
So has this Trump is King of America thing been happening the whole time and I just haven't noticed it as much because it hasn't been getting this swell of support because Trump retweeted that photoshop of him with a crown or whatever and I've heard a lot of talk about him being the king and Don Jr.
being the prince and all this nonsense suddenly.
And for those of you who have listened to our first episode of Mule's Errand, which we release for free, and the remaining series will be behind our mighty Patreon paywall, patreon.com slash pokepolitics, you know that in that, we are told that when the American people vote for their president, they are voting for who shall rule them.
Yeah, who shall rule us.
Which was news to me.
I always thought I was voting for like a, you know, like a civil servant.
Somebody to represent me and to govern me.
Not to rule me, but... No, it's to rule.
Oh no, you're voting for a king!
Yeah.
Oh, I mean, uh, on, uh, our, the Donald during the 2016 campaign, that was where they were ironically referring to Trump as the God emperor.
And then it became unironic.
And whenever Trump would talk about serving more than two terms as president, it always got a rise out of them.
And they loved it.
And they loved that it owned the libs because he was going to defy the Constitution and become a dictator.
So the idea of their orange daddy ruling over them as a king has pretty much been there since the very beginning.
They've always had this very authoritarian mindset and yearning for their guy to be the guy forever.
When it comes to the very overweight, in his mid-70s, had an almost fatal bout of COVID guy who is, I don't know, exhibiting some signs of dementia?
Forever may not be that long.
Let's just put it that way.
Well, he ain't the only person with that problem, which we'll get into later in the episode.
For now, I think it is time for us to transition away from our amuse-bouche and our weak, ineffectual, former Orange King and into our mighty headline segment, Cues in the News.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Cues in the News!
Okay, strap in, friends.
It's all poopoo from here on out.
There's no getting around it.
Biggest headline of the week, with a bullet, the Buffalo, New York race massacre.
Which is...
Like a bummer of the highest caliber.
No real two ways about that.
But unfortunately it's something that we have to cover because the perpetrator released quite the manifesto that is deeply entwined with Chan culture and the Great Replacement Theory.
And all sorts of bullshit Chan speaking points that also happen to align with Q speaking points.
So Mike Rades, help us try to navigate the murky waters of this horrible tragedy as it relates to QAnon.
Okay, so QAnon's reaction to this thing was, at the beginning, to of course call it a false flag.
Wendy Rogers, the ultra-pilled Arizona state senator, she made a post on Telegram declaring that Buffalo was the start of quote-unquote, fed boy summer.
Indicating that this shooter was an MK Ultra sleeper or that he was a fed doing a false flag.
That's a big yikes.
I'm going to go ahead and put the big yikes stamp on that one.
Yeah.
So we had Wendy do that stuff and QAnon's immediate jump onto the manifesto was to point out that the shooter made a Sam Hyde joke, which if you don't know what that shit is about, It's become a meme on Chan culture that whenever a mass shooting happens, a comedian named Sam Hyde always gets blamed as the mass shooter.
Like it's just this thing where on the Chan boards, they're like, I got a photo of the guy who did it.
And it's just the same photo of the same guy holding the same gun every single time.
it's part of the of the culture to see if they can dupe the media into running with it because they
know that these internet these people who are not savvy on the internet might see these photos and
they'd be like oh my god the chans are already reporting what's happening and I gotta run it up
the flagpole and they can laugh at everyone for not getting it but QAnon is taking this in a fun
new way because again the guy who did this knew what that joke was and he posted it in his manifesto
as a joke and And QAnon took it and was like, well, this proves the manifesto is fake, and this isn't the real shooter because it's a Sam Hyde joke.
So all of this is disinformation.
Everything here is a lie.
None of this is real.
We're all being manipulated.
By, uh, the Mockingbird media.
And it's like, no, the shooter just knows the Sam Hyde joke.
That's why he put it in there.
That's the point.
He's, he was literally radicalized on the Chan boards.
And that's why he is a dumb idiot who did a terrible, awful thing.
Thanks to America giving monsters like him easy access to guns.
You don't get to hand wave it all away because, Oh, there was a joke in the manifesto.
And.
God, I saw four or five different QAnon promoters that were like, boom, mainstream media narrative falls apart immediately.
And they all had the same video going right to the same part of the manifesto going right to the same joke.
And it's just like, a lot of the manifesto is just copy pasta from chan boards.
I've read exactly none of it and I don't need to read it because I know what he's saying.
thought in his head because I'm not gonna read I'm not gonna read the whole
thing I've read enough synopsis from our people of trust to know what it said
and it's it's that it's just I've read exactly none of it and I don't need to
read it because I know what he's saying because I I used to be on the
chanboards back in the day so it's just like I know the sort of racist like
homophobic transphobic they've only gotten misogynistic shit that goes on
there it turns Hey Elon, if you're listening to the news, now might be a good time to maybe re-evaluate your idea of a true free speech online platform, unless you have also developed some sort of like
With, like, fuckin' uber-powerful automated, uh, like, policing and moderating stuff.
The Tesla Ed 2099 robot from RoboCop.
Because it turns out that if you don't have, like, I mean...
True Free Speech platform with absolutely no moderation, like, just gets you a 4chan, and, like, spoiler warning, 4chan is available on the internet for anybody that wants it, and the only people that like it are far-right lunatic racists that happen to be white males between the ages of, like, 16 and 24, that are also so weird, the same people who are inclined to go out and typically commit mass shooting, like, You know what I mean?
It's just like, there's no, like, hey, any Republican, any conservative anyone, just go ahead and point me to the last time a manifesto came out and it was a liberal just being like, I hate capitalism.
I don't like Donald Trump.
Like, I think that student loan debt should be absolved.
So in order to make these things happen, I am going to massacre a bunch of people to prove my point.
It has never happened.
Ever!
Um, yeah.
It's a whole nightmare, and yeah, the chambords have always been kinda racist, and they've only gotten worse in the intervening era.
Yeah, I mean, the only thing that they ever truly, like, moderated was, and even then it was, like, incredibly loose, was the dissemination of sexually explicit images of children.
And the only reason that they were interested in trying to scrub that when it got posted is because they knew that that shit would eventually take them down for being actual crime time.
Like, because anything else you could in theory just be like, oh, it was one person, you know, it was just words, or whatever, free speech, and this and that, but, like, there's no getting around the fact that sexually explicit images of children, like, that is crime time.
Back in the day, that was the only thing that, like, if you reported a thing on 4chan, it would get taken down, was that.
So, you know, until I decided that 4chan was not, that juice wasn't worth the squeeze, you know, in my early 20s or whatever, I would be scrolling through, sometimes I would see something horrible, and I would report it, and then it would get taken down.
But, like, they're never going to take down Like a racist screed, you know what I mean?
They're never gonna take down, like, a transphobic, like, just fucking rant about how, you know, cuck-soyboy liberals are turning men into women or whatever.
Like, just complete nonsense.
It's just not what the Chan boards are for.
The Chan boards are for the generation of memes being racist, misogynistic, transphobic, or whatever, just being bad people in general, and occasionally getting your hands on some sexually explicit Like minor images.
That's what they've always been for.
I mean, they, they kicked off, like, 4Chain kicked off a bunch of the, what was it?
They've kicked off a bunch, but they kicked off GamerGate.
And that's why we got the worst Bork, but that's why we got 8Koon.
Yeah.
And so the other thing that happened here was because the manifesto brings up the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, this has led a lot of people to point out that the Great Replacement, which is basically taking demographics in America and the West, And instead of just saying, well, you know, like the richer you are, the less likely it is that you are going to want to have a massive family because running a massive family is like very difficult.
Whereas back in the good old days, you had a massive family.
So you could have labor on the farm and all that good stuff.
So because the West read white people have been having a lower birth rate and
not the West has been having a higher birth rate.
The number of white people in the world and in America is declining.
And you could just look at that and be like, Oh, well, that's just how
demographics work and that's just how things are.
Or you can ascribe a sinister reason behind why this is happening, and that white people are too cagey and smart and free-willed, and they need to be bred out of existence for a docile, easier to control group of people to be manipulated by the elites.
Parentheses star equals Jewish people to rule the world over because they'll have their docile sheep in place.
And this is why at Charlottesville, those guys with the tiki torches were marching in the streets, streets chanting, Jews will not replace us, because they were whining about the grace replacement theory back then.
Same old, same old.
Yep, and it's what Tucker Carlson's been promoting on his show all the time.
It's what the third-ranking Republican in the House, Elissa Stefanik, she has promoted the Great Replacement Theory in her campaigns.
This is something that extremists love, but mainstream Republicans are willing to go there.
They're willing to dip their toe into those waters.
Well, yeah, they have to be, because their power is centered around Caucasian people.
Sure, there are some non-white people in the Republican Party, believe you me, but percentage-wise, if you look at that pie graph, boy howdy, that's a lot of pie that's white.
Regardless of what the actual reason is, spoiler warning, it is not the Illuminati or the New World Order trying to manipulate the media and demographics to racially breed out white people in favor of non-white people that are easier to control.
It's because we are, you know, the melting pot country, the land of opportunity, people from other countries come here because it's a better place to live than where they're from, in theory.
And you know, just like, so those are all the real reasons behind it.
But regardless of what the actual reasons are, the truth is that we're getting less white.
And if the conservative power base is all white people, then yeah, they're gonna be shook over that shit.
I've said it on the podcast like a billion times, time is doing the job for us.
Like as culture evolves, time is going to assist in getting rid
of what we consider today as the conservative.
And then over time, the goalposts are just going to move and people that were, like, liberal, you know, 50 years from now will be seen as like, oh man, you're old ways are too old-fashioned, buddy.
You're like a conservative now.
And she's like, no.
Elon was complaining about that happening already on Twitter.
I mean, he's full of shit, but it will happen at some point.
Yeah, I mean, just look at, like, there's so many things that I think back on and I'm just like, oof-a-doo, like, that was a spicy meatball take that I had back then.
Oh yeah, we were all dumbfuck people.
Like, you know, growing up.
I mean, I can't look back at my life and think of too many people.
I was just like, damn, even when I was a kid, that person was woke and had no hot takes.
I mean, we all had hot wrong takes.
The difference is that, like, you know, typically the people that evolve and change with the time and, you know, just sort of decide that they want to be on the right side of history and embrace the cultural wave by writing it instead of just fighting against it.
Those people tend to be liberal.
Not, like, you know, the whole, like, ten years ago, twenty years ago or whatever, if you had told me that gender was a spectrum, I would have been very confused.
Yes.
And I would have probably, twenty years ago, certainly, when I was still in high school, I would have been like, I don't know if that's true, but that was me being stupid, and like, just like, not understanding, like, not having seen the studies, not having interacted with trans people, like, and now, twenty years later, me in my mid-thirties or whatever, I'm just like, Absolutely.
Like, you identify however you want to identify.
It's fucking fine.
I don't give a shit.
Yeah, I was watching, I saw like a conversation on Twitter between two poker bros and they were commenting, somehow it was about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and all the bullshit that that entails.
And one poker bro said to the other guy, he was like, this dude has pronouns in his bio.
And I was just like, why would you care?
Why would that matter in the slightest?
I mean, I haven't bothered to put pronouns in my bio, but if someone does, why would I care in the slightest?
How does that impact my life at all?
I mean, it is, it is such a weird thing to be offended or upset by.
I just truly don't understand it.
Nerdy sidebar.
Hasbro has put out an official G.I.
Joe role-playing game and I was like, I wonder if it's good because I'm a huge G.I.
Joe fan.
Me wonders if it's good.
So I go to look up reviews for it and I guess on the character sheet they have a space for pronouns for your G.I.
Joe and A lot of people were very, the only two written reviews I could find for it on Amazon, people were just, they said, go woke, get broke.
And just all sorts of smooth brain takes on like, oh, if you like, if you like, if you put pronouns and shit, no fucking deal.
And it was just baffling.
We've sort of gotten into the weeds here, but to get us back on track, the Great Replacement Theory is horseshit.
And it always has been horseshit.
And it turns out that what people are complaining about as the Great Replacement Theory is just culture evolving in the land of opportunity, where the statue That is supposed to be the beacon for our whole fucking country, says, yo, bring non-American people to our soil for opportunity.
Like, hey, non-white people, come here.
Like, are you part of the huddled masses?
Yo, huddle up here because we are where the opportunity is at.
Like, I don't understand how this is a confusing notion.
Well, I mean, I do understand because we're racists.
It shouldn't be a confusing notion to anyone in our country, especially people that are so-called patriots, because it's the plaque on the fucking statue, mate!
She's literally holding a torch to light the way for non-white people to come to our fucking country!
It can't be more obvious than that, right?
Yeah.
We fight against Cobra the Enemy.
If you watch the opening of the G.I.
Joe movie, they're defending the Statue of Liberty.
Boom.
Illuminati.
One thing that always gets me about this is that This whole idea of being pure-blooded and that you're white, and that's really important in all this nonsense.
And it's like, hey, if you wanted to, I don't know, keep quote-unquote white demographics high the way you did, just recategorize things.
Because this is the thing.
If a white person marries a black person, they have a baby.
You call that baby black because you're the racist, pure blood ideology is just like, well, if it's not a white person and a white person making a baby, that baby ain't white.
And it's like, well, you're the ones who've then signed your own demographic death warrant by doing this stuff.
Oh yeah.
Whiteness can be taken away and given at the drop of a hat.
Italians, Irish, Swedish, all were not white when they first came to America.
And again, First came to America with like that's a whole other kettle of fish but like I'm not and I don't think for a second I'm saying uh those demographics had it worse than the literal slaves from Africa but they were not white when they got here they were had that given to them later when they slowly like blended in and became part of the majority and they can have
You can have whiteness stripped away real quick.
Like, just ask the Jewish faith.
They go from, like, sometimes they're white and sometimes they're not.
People never forget that they're Jewish, though.
And yeah, power can be given and taken away, and people that have power want to keep it.
Hence this fucking chungo walking up to a predominantly black grocery store and killing 10 people and it's I've seen on Twitter a ton.
They no one's talking about the police officer.
I don't know his name and I'm ashamed that like fought the kid and like saved lives and died himself.
He's one of the 10 killed.
Yeah, he was a security guard there and security guard.
Yes, he and he shot at the kid, but the kid was wearing armor and so the kid was able to survive being shot at and was then able to and then return fire and killed the guy.
So I mean, The whole good guy with a gun thing goes right out the window because this guy, this kid came strapped.
He came fully armed and with body armor.
Which, I mean, it's all that NRA bullshit.
Like, fuck them.
The Irish, what you were saying before, the Irish, they earned their stripes by becoming the cops and then keeping the underclass, aka black people, down.
Basically, the African slaves that were taken to America here to do slave labor, The way other people got a leg up and got invited into whiteness was by showing the other white people, hey, we will put our foot on these people also.
We will oppress the blacks with you.
Now can we have our official, can we graduate to whitehood?
Like that, that's always been the way it's been.
And, and I saw a post And it was racist.
It was racist from the top.
But then in the second post, he brought up the, he brought up the phrase, uh, founding stock.
And that lets you know that that that's a very key statement because founding stock basically means English.
I hadn't heard that before.
And in a sense, also, there's a lot of German immigrants early in America also.
So the Germans kind of stay snuck in with the English as being
like the founders of America.
And what Sarge was saying before Italians, Irish, the other, other folks,
you got in too late buddies.
You guys aren't founding stock.
So if one day, I hadn't heard that before.
That is some racist ass shit.
Yeah.
So, yeah, cause I remember, uh, some guy going in Andrew Torba, uh, the guy who
runs Gab by saying you're not founding stock.
And it's just like, so yeah, so I mean, like, that's That's how this racist shit gets.
People have to invent more racism, like blood type racism in Japan.
That is the wildest shit, but they figured it out because Japan's this incredibly homogeneous nation.
Basically, everyone from Japan is from Japan.
And they were just like, how can we start discriminating against each other?
And it's like, we know blood type.
And they have stereotypes for different people based on their blood type.
And it's an important part of your politic of running for office, you have the right blood type that you're a leader blood type.
I mean, it's, it's just really wild how desperate we are to find ways to differentiate ourselves from other people, so we can resent them and not like them.
Just in case we happen to have any hate listeners in the audience today, I do have to say, for the record, I am riddled with founder stock.
I'm just, like, literally, you could trace my father's side of the family to the boat that landed here and the English it came from.
Like, I could not be more founding father American if you tried.
My ancestors stepped right off the fucking Mayflower onto Plymouth Rock.
Yeah, I was gonna say, we've been friends for a long time.
Just, like, aren't you, like, Mayflower stock?
Yeah, I had a relative who died in the Sailor Witch Trials, so my blood is powerfully magic and powerfully Pounder-tastic.
So if you happen to be listening to this, hate listening to this, just know that I am the biggest race traitor you listen to on the internet and fuck you, buddy, because I would be more than happy to see a demographic chart tomorrow and just be like, America suddenly only 30% white.
I'd be like, incredible.
So good.
That's, that was the whole fucking point.
Anyway, yeah, so the, I guess, you know, Massacre Bad, top level hot take.
This shit sucks.
We hate it.
Official Hell World stuff.
We hate it.
The only reason we're covering it is because this guy was incredibly Q adjacent because, you know, to assume that Q culture never originated on the Chan boards would be folly.
And, uh, yeah, it just, it sucks that we have to cover this shit.
And I mean, just because, like, if we started talking about it, we'd be running, like, super long.
Uh, we haven't even touched on any of the other mass shooting events that happened.
Uh, anti-Asian, uh, racism just fucking popping off.
Yet another person just walking into a nail salon and just blasting away, uh, racking up bodies.
Yeah, I wanted to hit that real quick because that happened and QAnon and the right-wingers were like, Oh, this, uh, this Asian guy shot up an Asian, uh, nail parlor.
The media is totally silent on it.
They're covering it up.
They, they, they won't cover the mass shootings that don't promote their anti-white agenda, their anti-white narrative.
And, uh, it came out that the guy who committed that shooting.
I did it out of anti Taiwan bias that he wants Taiwan to be absorbed. Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yeah, he wants to be he
wants Taiwan to be conquered by China and ruled by the Chinese
mainland. And that's why he did what he did. And that is why Q
and O is going to drop that shooting like a hot potato because once they got it in their brains that Russia
invading Ukraine was super awesome deluxe good. They were like, hey, what other nation could pick on a weaker
neighbor?
Hey, China's always wanted to invade Taiwan.
Maybe Xi's going to do that.
Let's call Xi the good guy because more invasions and more wars make Biden and America look weak, which is what we want because we like our strong daddies and we hate Joe Biden.
So once the official motive for that shooting has come out, suddenly there were crickets chirping on the QAnon side of things because wanting Taiwan to be enslaved.
Oh, wait, that guy's actually on our side.
That shooter is actually promoting what we dream of.
So he can't be good either.
Another false flag, Mockingbird Media.
Yeah, the current state of America is so fucked up that some of our citizens are importing racism from other regions of the world and using their ability to get firearms in America to, you know, engage with it in that way.
Through the lens of, oh, I can shoot my enemies now that I'm in America.
He's like, now that I've moved to the land of opportunity, I'm going to take my opportunity to shoot people I don't like from a race that I think is inferior to me.
In this case, the Taiwanese.
It's just fucking so completely off the rails.
Like, what a country we live in.
Yup.
That is what I'm describing. So let's uh, let's you know, I mean we get to, again, there were so many mass shootings
over the past week that we could fill a whole fucking episode just talking about them. But uh, I don't want to do
that. I don't think you guys want to do that either. And I'm not necessarily sure that our listeners would want to
listen to us just be like, another reason why this mass shooting was bad and we hate it.
Racism and guns, all bad.
So let's go ahead and talk about the political system of our country, because it's mid-term madness!
Or, as I put it in our notes here, we have reached mid-terminal velocity.
And we do have a bit of good news up at the top.
To hopefully be a little bit of a palate cleanser from all the unpleasantness.
Our boy Madison Cawthorne, he fuckin' lost!
He lost his primary.
He definitely didn't lose to a Democrat.
He lost to another Republican.
Yeah, the Donald Trump-endorsed Madison Cawthorne somehow managed to lose.
Probably not on account of any of the horrible racist shit he said, but very likely due to the fact that he accused Republicans of having coke-fueled orgies.
We covered it when it happened.
That was the line that got stepped over.
And boy howdy, it seems like that was quite the lie for him to have stepped over.
So Mike, do you want to shed a little more light on the plight of Madison Cawthorne and other general midterm news?
Yeah, so what else was bringing up there was Madison Cawthorne made some comments about being invited by Republicans to cocaine-fueled orgies.
Key bumps.
Yeah, and the key bump that the guy who was offering to take him to these orgies did in front of him.
And as a result, suddenly we started getting photos of Madison in lingerie.
And then we got a video of Madison having a staffer caress his groin.
And Venmo payments with notes that were homoerotic.
And then we finished with a video of Madison naked in bed, thrusting and grinding on a guy.
They definitely weren't banging, but it was very weird.
And this oppo research, which was obviously being done to paint Cawthorn as someone who is not straight at the very least, was done by Republicans against him in an effort to ruin him in a primary.
And Trump came out with an endorsement of Cawthorn in the 11th hour in an effort to try to bail him out.
But that wasn't good enough because The homophobia that is rampant in the Republican Party, it did its job.
This effort to brand Cawthorn as gay was successful, and he lost the primary.
He has conceded.
Somehow, he didn't run the Mike Lindell and start looking for the Dominion voting machines.
He didn't run the Dinesh D'Souza to try to find some mules that were stuffing ballot boxes against him.
He just said, you know what?
The other guy beat me.
Fair's fair.
That's politics.
So, good on him for being the bigger man than former President Trump and all that stuff.
But, yeah.
So, his run as a political figure is now effectively over.
He'll be out of office at the start of 2023.
That's really weird to me.
House representatives, you only get a two-year term.
And this guy's gonna spend more than 25% of his term in office as a lame duck.
I mean, that's just really odd.
Everyone knows he's not good for anything, and that if you try and do coke in front of him, he will dime you out.
Yeah, exactly.
Which is, like, it's especially funny that he, I mean...
It's sort of weird for him to be going to like crazy women's lingerie parties and also still being a total narc when it comes to being invited to a coke orgy.
That part's always been kind of weird to me.
Also kind of weird to me is just the fact that You know, like, we live in a country where... I know, personally, if any of the Democratic candidates, like, you know, like, if, like, a liberal candidate came out and was just like, oh, here are photos of them, like, maybe they're gay, because check out how good they look in this women's lingerie, and look at all this weird, goofy, like, thrusting they're doing.
I probably want to vote for them more.
I mean, at the very least, it shows that they've got, like, a sense of humor, and they've got some stuff going on in their life.
That's sort of where it is.
I also just absolutely love the idea that Republicans came out for a smear campaign against this guy and they're just like, maybe we can cite any of the racism or any of his horrible takes.
No, let's make him look gay.
Our base still hates the dreaded gays.
Yeah, they went on a smear campaign and it worked, but it did seem like they weren't going after him for witnessing illegal activities and then not saying anything, because that line doesn't work.
Trump got elected.
So they attacked him for being gay.
But more funny than all of that is how crazy, so it's just like Madison Cawthorne, like, gets photographed looking honestly pretty good in some women's lingerie.
Yeah, surprisingly good.
He wore it well.
Persona non grata.
Dr. Oz can cut a video probo saying the creepiest shit imaginable about being in your bed doing exactly what you want to do, and he might win his bid in Pennsylvania or whatever?
What's going on with Dr. Oz, Mike?
Okay, so Dr. Oz is the most polarizing political figure in QAnon.
It is hilarious, the shit that's going on with Dr. Oz.
So Trump endorsed Dr. Oz for Pennsylvania Senate.
And QAnon immediately lost their shit, because Dr. Oz has talked about transgender people without being a hateful bigot and a lunatic.
There's photos of him hanging out with Marina Abramovich, who we've covered previously, as being just someone QAnon viciously hates, because she's a performance artist who made a book called Spirit Cooking, and they think that's weird.
It's like Dungeons & Dragons being a gateway to Satanism.
And so, for the longest time, QAnon was just like, Trump endorsed Oz, but he couldn't have done it in the hopes that Oz would win this election, because Oz is bad.
So, we have to figure out the secret 11-dimensional chess reason for why Trump endorsed him.
And they've been racking their brains.
And then the lady, Barnett, she was basically a right-wing extremist who was not one of the two big candidates in this election.
In the 11th hour, suddenly, she had a good debate performance and QAnon and the hard right were like, oh my God, we have our candidate.
Because McCormick's a boring hedge fund investor and Oz is, of course, a blood-drinking Luciferian monster celebrity.
So now we have Barnett.
She's great.
We love her.
We're going to carry her to victory.
And she finished a distant third.
So the hard-right QAnon candidate didn't manage to break through the race the way they were hoping she would.
And McCormick and Oz now are almost deadlocked.
Like the last time I checked, Oz, they both have over 400,000 votes each, and Oz is ahead of McCormick by about 3,000 votes.
So this is super razor thin between McCormick and Oz.
And Donald Trump, a political expert, has posted on Truth that Oz needs to declare victory right now.
Just Just do it.
Just say you won, say it's over, you're the champ, you got the belt, you're the man, and fuck anyone who tries to deny you.
That's exactly how Trump wants our political system to go.
He wants it to be like, you counted the votes until you are in the lead no matter how many votes are still left to be tallied, and then you just snap it off and say, well I'm in the lead so I win, and that's that.
Yeah, when it gets to where you want it.
I'm glad you... Well, because the last time he went to sleep and when he woke up he was losing.
Yeah.
I'm glad you said that QAnon doesn't like Dr. Mehmet Oz.
Like, there's no way these anti-Semites like this guy.
Oh, they, they viciously hate Oz.
Like, um, they've literally, uh, they've literally made posts about like, they're like, you know, I'm with Trump on 99% of things, but this Oz thing is just a bridge too far.
I can't do it.
And it's really, it's really funny.
Like they're like, uh, Torba and the, and the hard right on Gab who fucking hate Trump cause the truth and all that kind of stuff.
And, and also cause of Jared Kushner, cause Jared Kushner's Jewish and boo.
Um, They've been writing it hard.
They're like, he wants Oz, who's a Turkish citizen and is a monster.
And Wendy Rogers was like, we can't vote for Oz.
We need 100 true American citizens in the Senate.
No dual citizenship.
Which, again, is an anti-Semitic dog whistle about people having loyalty to Israel.
And so you have the people that just hate Trump that are going at him for Oz, and then you have the QAnon people trying to square that circle.
We just started recording the podcast right when I saw the post by Trump telling Oz to just take the W and do a victory lap.
I can't wait to see them try to wrap their heads around it.
They cannot accept that Donald Trump is a smooth-brained, moron, starfucker of the highest order, and when he heard a low-level celebrity like Dr. Oz was running for public office, he's like, I'll endorse him!
I'll endorse any fucking celebrity!
I just want Dr. Oz to give me a phone call and tell me how great I am.
I mean, Trump is just such a needy piss baby.
And the idea that famous Dr. Oz might call me up and talk to me, oh my God.
It's like, dude, you are the fucking president.
He's just such a small person that doesn't understand the shit he pulled off.
He's Homer Simpson, only even dumber.
Well, he needs as many doctors as he can get in his corner, in case he ever has cause to have somebody sign documents to the effect that he is a perfect human specimen that will live to the age of 150.
And any pictures you may have seen of his doughy body and full set of breasts were doctored, and under his shirt he's got abs, we promise.
Like, yeah.
For more information on Dr. Oz, find the Behind the Bastards series on Dr. Oz, and they go into detail on how much of a shitbag he is, so don't think for a second just because QAnon doesn't like him he's a good guy.
Yeah, oh yeah, Oz is a piece of shit, and fuck- Broken clock, etc.
Yeah.
Okay, so one last headline for the week before we get into our mailbag.
We're not going to do a full Russia Roundup this week.
Suffice to say, they're still not doing great.
We're going to focus the beam a little bit this week and talk about the scuttlebutt that's been coming out regarding Vladdy Daddy's failing health.
Apparently, according to some member of his military cabinet or whatever, Vladimir Putin may in fact be suffering from blood cancer?
Which sounds not great.
Mike and or Sarge, whoever's the most plugged in on Vladimir Putin's failing health, why don't we give the listeners a little bit of information regarding poor Putin.
I have the New York Post article pulled up if you don't have it.
Go ahead.
Okay, so Russian President Vladimir Putin is very ill with blood cancer, an oligarch close to the Kremlin said in a secret recording, obtained by New Line Magazine, New Line's Magazine, whoever they are, so take this with a grain of salt about that.
And they said that the blood cancer is not specified, which to me sounds like leukemia, but it could be anything.
I thought leukemia was a bone cancer, not getting nipped.
Ah, that's white blood cells.
Oh, okay.
Shows what I know.
Yeah.
So, and I'm sure there's a million other forms of cancer like that.
But, um, so this came out and, I mean, we've all seen the videos of, like, Putin with a weird gate.
Gripping the table.
The table gripping video, which was so strange because Putin is a dictator who has absolute control over the media.
And you would think that if he didn't want that put on TV, it would not have been there.
But he was like, no, me white knuckling this desk while I talk to somebody for 15 minutes with me not moving a muscle because, except for my foot weirdly tapping all the time.
I mean, like all of the stagecraft of that was so bizarre.
I mean, um, It's just it's just really like wild that Putin is like it's obvious he's banged up in some way, shape or form.
But like like the fact that anyone was willing to leak any information that like his problems could be potentially fatal.
I mean, that's that's kind of jarring.
Russia's military, the lie has been put to them, but their propaganda machine is second to none.
And well, that's part of the reason I've been I've been seeing some tinfoil hat stuff.
And honestly, I started to wear a little bit of tinfoil myself, that these sort of leaks are like indicative of some behind the scenes fucker ball rolling to start maybe De-Putining themselves uh over in Russia considering the war effort has been fucking atrocious to say the least and if they have like probable cause you know to try to remove him in either an actual legitimate political way or the traditional Russian way of pushing him out of a window because his health is failing like they they're I've heard that there might be some
Some sort of internal strife in the Russian government regarding their fearless leader, who is possibly incredibly ill with blood cancer, and in theory is the one with his hand on the wheel of this horrible war effort that's just, like, pantsing them on a global stage.
So, you know, the little bit of tinfoil that I'm wearing isn't so much that I necessarily think that that's happening, But it seems like if it were to happen, now would be a great time.
Yeah, it just makes so much sense.
Like this war gets them nothing.
And he, he's always been very vain, and like, very prideful.
And like, him, like, And like we talked about a couple weeks ago, he was obsessed with the video of Gaddafi getting, like, brutally murdered by his people, and he just wants to show strength, and what is more weak than being riddled with terminal cancer?
My partner actually asked me, she was asking me about the war, and she's like, why doesn't he just back off on this?
Like, why doesn't he Stop like this war that they're losing and I was like he can't death before dishonor.
Yeah, literally death before dishonor He can't back off now like they've come too far and to to oh To concede victory would be a sign of weakness, and he would look weak to the entire world, and we would know that he doesn't have the chops to, like, nuke us, so a lot more- already a bunch more nations are joining NATO.
Oh yeah, Finland and Sweden are putting their, Finland's government just like passed the resolution to put their application in the NATO and the vote passed like 188 to like eight.
I'd love to know who those eight guys are like, nah, we're good on our own.
We don't need to worry about this.
We got this.
Yeah.
So the things that look so great for Putin, Eric Andre shooting Hannibal Buress meme.
How could Blood Cancer do this?
So yeah, we'll keep reporting on it.
Well, I mean, reporting on it.
We'll keep covering it, because reporting on it implies that we are journalists, which we are not.
We are absolutely not.
We are not journalists for sure, and we are not making enough money off of this to call ourselves professional comedians.
So at the moment, we're just podcasters, which means nothing.
So, always take everything we say with a grain of salt.
Hopefully it makes you laugh, but a grain of salt all over it.
Salt Bae style.
Man, remember, what was that, five, six years ago?
Remember Salt Bae?
Before coronavirus time dilated everyone?
He's also a huge piece of shit.
Oh, really?
That professional chef is a scumbag?
I don't believe it.
They always seem so well-adjusted and nice.
No one ever.
Anthony Bourdain is most people's favorite quote-unquote good guy celebrity chef.
I like Bourdain as much as the next person.
I'm not sure if I'd unequivocally call him a good guy.
I don't think you get to level of professional chef without being some kind of scumbag.
And if you're a professional chef and you're listening to this, I apologize.
But at the end of the day, you can just say, eh, fuck what Elsa has to say about me.
I make way more money than him.
Okay, so let's wrap up our series of unfortunate headlines and go into what will hopefully be a more pleasant mailbag experience.
That sounds like a plan.
Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
It's time for Q and A. So starting off, we have SubZeroShirtArt saying, based on what I'm hearing about, quote unquote, the Batman movie, are you guys suing Warner Brothers for stealing your trademark Riddler Q?
If I got that right, the last iteration of the Riddler is essentially Q, and he shares the movie with the Penguin character, no less.
Yeah, I don't think we have enough juice to sue Warner Brothers, but it was really funny to see that.
I mean, I was incredibly disappointed that that was the direction they took The Riddler because it seemed incredibly lazy.
We did a binge-worthy episode on it back when we were still capable of scheduling time to record that.
But yeah, it was for sure the director's choice to be like, cultural zeitgeist, what about toxic online radicalization of the white man in America?
So it very much was a Riddler-style cue, including, but not limited to, his plan being very stupid and bad at the end of that movie.
Just essentially boiling down to, and then we'll shoot some people!
And it's like, okay, cool.
Wow.
What an incredible supervillain Batman is up against.
Batman versus the guy that shoots people.
But I guess, you know, for somebody who gets credit for having the greatest rogues gallery in comics, let's be real, his primary antagonist is a clown.
Like a literal, actual clown.
So, maybe our expectations are just set too high.
Sadly, I don't think we have any legal recourse, which would be great, because I'd love for, what was it, Matt Reeves?
I'd love for Matt Reeves to be the person giving me one million United States dollars, but I'm still pulling for Elon to come through on that front.
Come on, Elon, you can do it.
I believe in you.
So thank you for the question.
DeportGamers asks, what do you wish was more common knowledge about QAnon?
The thing that I would want to be the most common knowledge for people to know is that it comes from the protocols of the Elders of Zion.
And so it has to be anti-Semitic from the drum street.
Because every time you see the mainstream media cover QAnon, They always talk about a mysterious guy on the internet who left cryptic riddles.
And it's like, that sounds interesting.
That sounds mysterious and dangerous and sexy and wild.
And no, just be like, the QAnon conspiracy theory, the latest in a series of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories that claim a group of people secretly control the world from behind the scenes, That's how you actually... Antisemitic should be in front of QAnon every time you explain the theory to John Public.
The person who's never heard fuck all about QAnon, the first word that needs to be tied to the theory is antisemitism.
Q, very early on, literally devoted like four or five posts to quote-unquote Rothschild banks in the world.
And it was just literally like, this bank in Korea, this bank in New Zealand, this bank in Australia.
And it was, I mean, it was the most boring.
It was literally Q reading out of a fucking phone book.
But he was just so desperate to get it on the record that like, 230 out of 256 countries in the world have Rothschild banks in them.
So, just to let you know, the Jews rule the world through their banks that are everywhere.
And BTWs, there are no Rothschild banks.
That's not a thing that exists.
It's fucking horseshit.
See, I was under the impression that the Irish ruled the world because McDonald's has locations in several countries.
I mean, just all over the place.
Like, you could go the world over and hit a McDonald's.
Isn't McDonald's Scottish?
Don't the Scottish rule the world?
Is that a Scottish thing?
I think it's a Scottish name.
It was completely made up, but, uh...
I mean, I'm not gonna lie, I don't know the difference between Mc and Mac when it comes to... Yeah, I could be 100% wrong.
If anyone's listening and they want to educate us, feel free to tell us whether or not McDonald's is an Irish or Scottish thing, and what the difference between a McDonald's and a MacDonald's would be.
I just have to say, oh my god, I just looked up the Rothschild Bank, the first QDrop that started it, and it goes Cambodia, and then two steps below Cambodia is Canada.
Between those two nations, I believe it was meant to list Cameroon, but because Q's a fucking moron and can't type, Cameroon is Kame-roon.
And then the word came space, then the word Rune, capital R-O-O-N, then colon, and then
Bank of Central African States.
Came Rune is one of the names of the...
I also did some Googling and I quickly found out that McDonald is in fact a Scottish name
and I have probably offended several Scots by accidentally saying Irish instead of Scottish.
So I'd like to take the time to apologize to them.
And apparently it means son of Donald from the Gaelic Mac.
And then I'm not...
It's phonetically spelled Domnwil, but I mean, it's Gaelic.
So that word could mean...
It could literally mean Bob if it's in Gaelic and has 75 letters.
That is the most bizarre language in all of the universe.
You know, I would have put together that it was Scottish immediately if I had actually done as Sarge just suggested and conflated it with Scrooge McDuck, who I know to be Scottish.
The thing is that now that I'm thinking about it, in terms of cultural mindshare, I think the only two McAnythings that live in my brain are Scrooge McDuck and McDonald's.
So, I'm simultaneously not surprised I didn't make the connection, and also sort of disappointed in myself that I didn't.
Anyway, I apologize to all the proud Scottish McDonalds of the world.
I did not mean to call you Irish.
Meanwhile, back at the question, I would just want people to know how dangerous QAnon actually is and how many lives it's actually ruined.
That it's not just some goofy thing on the internet.
Hopefully January 6th did some of that.
But like... Yeah, this isn't cryptids.
This isn't Bigfoot or Loch Ness.
This is a real thing that hurts people.
Yeah, and I really want people to know how great that new DuckTales show was.
I'm a big fan.
And it just shows one of the greatest Scotsmen of all time, Scrooge McDuck.
Traditionally incredible Irishman, Scrooge McDuck.
On to the Q&A questions.
So aside from the, it is a dangerous anti-Semitic thing.
I guess the next one down on the list for the Strong bullet points you would need to know about Q is that it originated from the Chan boards, and the most important takeaway from that is what exactly you are going to get if you are interested in truly unmoderated free speech social media platforms.
Without moderation, things do not turn into a utopia.
They turn into a dystopia.
Like, we have laws for a reason.
What is moderation if not laws for an online discourse?
So, like, I would not suggest going to any of the Chan boards.
All you need to know is that QAnon derived from online spaces with no moderation where anti-Semites could get together and be dangerous.
Yep, absolutely.
Thanks for the question.
Yes.
So, Reverend Xenofact asks, cretins have a lot of people they choose to hate.
Give us the top 10 QAnon villains in order of how hated they are.
This is all my question.
That's hilarious.
Oh, people who QAnon hates, not QAnon people we hate.
No, no, no.
Who does QAnon hate?
I mean, detailing from the previous question, does it have to be an individual, or can we just put people of the Jewish faith, comma, all?
I think Hillary Clinton beats out Jews, right?
Yeah, Hillary Clinton's number one, because Hillary Clinton is literally the foundation of QAnon.
Q-drops one and two are Hillary Clinton's about to get cuffed and stuffed.
I mean, that's why all the... I mean, again, Durham is prosecuting this nobody for one count of lying to the FBI.
What does every QAnon's meme?
Hillary Clinton being perp-walked.
Hillary Clinton getting teabagged by the cops on 21 Drum Street.
Maybe this is a semantic argument, but Q, the quote-unquote individual, maybe his number one, like, enemy was Hillary Clinton, but, like, if the most important takeaway from QAnon is that it's derived, like, QAnon is a movement, it's derived from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion,
Then shouldn't it be impossible for anyone other than Jewish faith be number one on that list?
Like, if their Bible was essentially just like, and on the first day God created non-Jews and they were the greatest and Jews suck, like, then wouldn't that have to be number one?
Maybe?
No, I totally understand what you're saying, but what I would say to that is that they've just managed to internalize this burning hatred of Hillary, but if you ever tried to get them to talk about Hillary, Hillary is just a pawn of George Soros, who's a Jew.
So they would, they would get there.
They would get to their antisemitism through Hillary, but they've internalized such a massive hatred of Hillary that it's, it's wild.
I mean, I think that would be, that would be a really tough poll for a QAnon promoter to make where it's like, who do we need to have arrested more, Hillary or Soros?
Like, If you are following the internal logic of the movement, uh, Zuckerberg, Soros, um, uh, Klaus Schwab, um, the money people would be the actual bad guys.
Cause like Alex Jones will even say it when he's like ranting and raving about how much he hates W and Obama and all the rest of them, that they're just puppets, that the money guys are the real bad guys and that they are also just puppets to the literal Christian devil.
I was about to say, us talking, fuck, Mike got there before I could.
I was just like, god damn it.
We brought up Alex Jones, we all knew who the number one enemy of QAnon is.
Number one with a bullet.
Literal Christian devil.
Oh yeah.
Red skin, pitchfork, little cape, the whole nine.
Literal Jewish devil.
You better believe he's queer-coded.
Yes!
Like, when he shows up on the scene, he is mincing.
He's probably got good taste in clothes.
Like, they just could not hate him even more if they tried.
And guess what?
He's definitely queer-coded.
So, literal Christian devil number one with a bullet.
Yeah.
So yeah, basically that like, and that's the thing is like everybody else is like the Batman rogues gallery of villains.
They rotate in and out.
If like immigration and voting is the issue, it's Soros.
If it's vaccines and technology, if it's vaccines, it's Gates.
If it's technology, social media, it's Zuckerberg or whoever's running Twitter on this given day.
But like the top three of like, Soros, Scary Jewish People 1, Hillary 2, Literal Christian Devil.
Those three are, they're the Mount Rushmore.
They're the immovable ultimate bad guys.
So yeah, I would say that pretty much nails it.
Wow, yeah, we really crushed that question.
Oh, we were so good.
We were so good on that question.
So, Cleodora Silvestri, she is watching NFTs, and her name is still so long, Collapse.
That was the final payoff.
Yeah.
Throughout the entire history of American politics, has there ever been a blander, more boring, less energetic candidate to any political seat than Q himself, Ronnie Watkins?
Mob Dole.
Bob Dole, Bob Dole.
And the reason I'm saying that is because I'm sure a lot of you have even forgotten that Bob Dole was a thing.
And maybe you're young enough where you just weren't around for when Bob Dole was, like, on the periphery of something that you had to pay attention to, but goddamn, was Bob Dole just a literal nothing.
He was just such a boring old white guy.
It was like, he was like, what would happen if, like, a suit got caught in a gust of air that filled it out enough to look like a person for a while, and then as soon as the gust died down, the suit crumpled onto the ground and vanished.
Like, Bob Dole was astonishingly bland.
Yes, the nothing that was Bob Dole was inspired.
He was just...
Ephemeral.
I mean, it just really went to show you how Republicans had sort of let the cupboard run bare because before they had had Reagan, who was the great leader and their hero, and then the Pappy Bush, who lost to Bill Clinton.
And then they're like, well, how are we going to get Clinton out of office?
They're like, Bob Dole.
Bob Dole's our answer.
And then he loses the race.
Penholden's son of a bitch.
Yeah.
And what's really funny is that until this cult of Trump came about, like Republicans didn't have anyone to hang their hat on since Reagan.
And that's wild because you, you had, uh, both Bush's get elected to the presidency and you had this long period of time where Republicans just ruled the White House with iron grip.
But they couldn't worship Nixon because he resigned in disgrace.
They couldn't worship Ford because he lost to Jimmy Carter.
And they couldn't worship the two Bushes because Pappy lost to Bill Clinton and W left office in absolute shambles with an approval rating around like 25%.
So it's like you had this like 50 year window of Republican politics and the only guy they could say, that's our boy was like senile old rap and run, like stumbling his way out of office after two terms.
And that was it.
And now like they've literally gone from the party of Reagan to the party of Trump.
A guy who, again, served one term and lost re-election by 8 million fucking votes.
That's their new champion.
That's the great MAGA king.
I mean, it's so wild how empty that party is.
Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of bland politicians out there, and a lot of them are going to happen to be conservative.
I mean, look at Mitt Romney.
I mean, he's also not exactly lighting the world on his fire with his charisma.
I mean, the most interesting thing about that guy is his faith.
And even then, it's just like, oh, really?
That's the response it should have listened.
It's like, I'm Mitt Romney, okay, what you got going for me?
I believe in the Church of the Latter Day Saints.
And it's just like, oh, really?
And then that's the extent of the conversation with them.
Yeah.
Were you one of those kids who quote-unquote let it soak?
Were you a jumper?
Are jumpers real?
We know the soaking thing's real, but are the jumpers real?
Tell us, Mitt.
Let us know about the strange sexual practices of your bizarre cult religion.
Of all the people in that church, I think Mitt Romney might be the least I'm interested in hearing about whether or not he has soaked.
I don't want I don't want nothing to know about Mitt Romney's peen.
Yeah, so, yes.
But the one thing I will say about Ron is that like because he's running
for a lower office and he has like Bob Dole, at least like served in World War
Two and had like a biography.
Ron's just literally that weirdo from the internet who decided to carpetbag from Japan to America to run for office, so, like, holy shit, like, What an absolute nothing of a person who hopefully will receive absolutely nothing when it comes to votes when primary day arrives.
So yeah, go to hell, Ron Watson.
And our final question, because Troy McClure, sorry, Troy McClure, your question was covered in the main podcast.
BigBadBaldBastard asks, how do we convince Cawthorn and other MAGA primary losers to attack their victorious opponents with stolen election narratives?
I wonder, it's really funny that Cawthorne didn't do that, because it seemed like that was the kind of guy.
But I figure Cawthorne, because he's really young and he's basically a Nazi, he probably figures that he has a successful career in front of him as a right-wing grifter.
And if he's going to do the book about the key bump and the cocaine orgies, he's got to make it a book so he can sell it and make a few bucks.
Goes on TV and starts ranting and raving.
It's gonna both hurt his short-term and long-term profitability.
But Barnett in Pennsylvania, I mean, she was nothing before this election.
She had one good debate performance and suddenly went up the polls and then she crashed back down to earth.
Like, there's no reason for her not to go full-blown QAnon on this shit.
She should.
Please.
Please throw some sand in those gears.
Mask off.
Yeah, take the mask off.
Go run to Mike Lindell.
Mike Lindell will give you a pile of money if you tell him the election was stolen from you.
Give us something to talk about next week.
Yes, please.
I mean, even though, again, it's Oz and McCormick who are neck and neck, just claim they stole 100,000 votes from you, and if we had captured the Oz and McCormick mules who were battling each other at the ballot boxes...
I'm now imagining a 2000 Mules sequel where you have an Oz Mule and a McCormick Mule punching each other in a ballot box, ripping up each other's ballots and throwing them on the ground.
And it's just like, oh my god, that would, just trust me, when we get to the 2000 Mules videotape parts, snooze.
Oh god, again, it's what Elle said in the first one, it's the waving trees of election fraud stories.
It's just like...
It's been real fun.
We've only done one episode.
It's on the timeline.
Go listen to it if you haven't.
Briefly, back to the Cawthorne thing.
I would not be surprised if he just wants to get out of the public spotlight for a little while, because with how fast and furious those quote-unquote incriminating photos and videos were coming out about him, I would be really, really surprised if that wasn't the tip of incriminating shit iceberg for him, because he's young, and he's a relatively attractive white guy or whatever, so he was probably getting up to a bunch of ill-advised shit, certainly during his college years or whatever, you know what I mean?
So he probably just doesn't want to have political spotlight on him for a little while, because Wow, the thrusting video came out and there's even worse than that, so I gotta just lay low and make sure that nobody has cause to continue to dig up my skeletons out of my closet.
Yeah, when he was in college, apparently he had numerous complaints filed against him for sexual advances and impropriety in college that happened to all the women around him.
It seems like, yeah, there's a lot of bad there.
And again... Yeah, and I mean, he does happen to have homosexual tendencies that he's repressing that have bubbled to the surface at some point.
If there's a sex tape out there of him having sex with another man, it is going to be really hard for him to just be like, I was just goofing!
It was just a friendly joke!
Like, you know what I mean?
So, uh, and I'm not saying there is.
I, like, I don't want anybody to think that, like, you know, I'm being fucking... Or that we're shaming him for it.
Because that's all perfectly fine.
Or that we're shaming him.
Yeah, but I mean, that's why I said quote-unquote incriminating.
I mean, like, you know, I would respect him more if he was just like, yeah, it turns out that I've been gay the whole time, but, like, instead of repressing it anymore, I'm coming out and I'm being proud.
Like, I would still hate him because he's a piece of shit, but it's always nice to see people that are repressing their homosexuality just embrace who they really are.
So, but, like, if there is any, like, more Oh, absolutely.
Stuff for his political ideology like out there in video or picture form
I'm sure that he would be perfectly happy to just let that Slide and just let those sleepy dogs lie. Oh
Absolutely, although it would be great having to hear him try to spin an actual sex tape between him and another man
It's like we were wrestling and like what they could let to another like I accidentally ended up inside of him
And then like upon trying to exit him. I just like slipped and went back inside
And the ground was very slippery because of lubrication that was there for reasons that were unknown to either of us.
Exactly.
Oh my god.
So yeah, that brings us to the question, the question numerous of the week is what are you looking forward to?
Um, jeez.
I usually have something just raring and ready to go for this.
I've got something for you if you want me to vamp for you a little bit.
My birthday is relatively coming up, which is to say that it is vaguely coming up soon, but I'm going to have to celebrate it on a day that is far removed from the actual day itself.
But it means that I have leverage to guilt my friends into actually getting together for a board game night.
And I haven't done, like, a real board game night in, like, a month, because everyone's just been fuck-off busy with a bunch of plans and etc.
So I'm very much looking forward to getting together with some pals and playing some board games.
They were just like, hey, what do you want to do?
And I was just like, I would like to get together with myself and no more than, like, three or four of my other friends so we can sit down and play board games that are meant for exactly four people.
And, like, that would be great.
Let's do that.
And maybe eat some Indian food, because I love Indian food.
That does sound like a good plan.
Sarge, have you figured something out?
Yeah, I've figured something out.
Uh, I am looking forward to, uh, tucking into Atlases.
It's not new, but, uh, they have a very story sci-fi spanning time and space, uh, mystery action thing called 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim.
And, uh, pick that up.
I'm looking forward to finally tucking into it.
Uh, here soon.
So there we go.
That's cool.
Uh, I am looking forward to, uh, continuing and then finishing my, uh, Twitter thread on 2000 mules.
Cause, uh, this movie is such horseshit and I, I just love debunking.
I love just looking at someone publishing just open lies everywhere.
They'll be like, Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
I just love that stuff.
Uh, I love that, um, When I started talking about this, uh, I was like, Hey, I saw a bunch of people like talking about stuff they had done and research they had put into looking at the movie.
And I was like, we should do a DM group.
And suddenly I was sucked into a room with like seven other people.
And they were like showing me all the evidence they had already found attacking the film.
And I was just like, I was like, fuck, this is incredible.
So I gave all of those people a shout out at the start of my long thread, because they've put in so much work to dig into this.
And I just love doing that kind of stuff.
Thankfully, the Celtics won Game 7 against Milwaukee.
Unthankfully, they lost Game 1 to Miami last night, which is unfortunate, but I get more basketball in my life for at least another week or two, and so I get debunking in sports ball.
What more could Mike Rains want in life, basically?
Probably not 30 to 40 point blowout games, because boy howdy.
Even I watched that Game 7 against the Bucs, and I was just like, This, this got very boring after halftime.
This is incredibly boring.
Oh, if that was boring for you, holy shit.
Thank God you didn't see the Phoenix, uh, Dallas game afterwards.
Uh, as much, as little sports ball as Elle watches, I'm pretty sure Elle would understand that the Phoenix Sun scoring 27 points in the first half of a basketball game is really fucking bad.
And, uh, they also then lost by like about 40 points.
That was an incredibly awesomely terrible game.
Can't say he doesn't have a basketball team.
Got a lot of people on the social media just being like, wow, as bad as that Celtics game 7 was, it wasn't nearly as bad as the other one.
And I was just like, holy shit.
Because the Celtics, when I watched, they won by like 30 points.
So what the fuck is going on in the playoffs?
The other game was a 30 point lead at halftime.
That's how bad that game was.
It's like, aren't these supposed to be the best teams playing each other?
Am I confused about how playoffs and the NBA work?
Like, isn't the playoffs supposed to be all of the best teams competing against one another?
That's some anime shit.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And it just went real sideways, real hard, those two game sevens.
It was some horrifying indeed.
Well, at least the right team won, in your case, because I know that you are a Celtics fan.
And speaking of things that you love, I think the most appropriate way for us to leave Hellworld this week would be to jump on some number of mules, maybe even 2,000 of them, and ride triumphantly into the sunset outside of Hellworld.
So, we're going to wrap up the show for the week.
Thank you so much for listening and supporting us.
If you would like to continue to support us, the cheapest slash freest way to do so would just be to tell a friend if you think they might be so inclined to listen.
Go ahead and post about us on social media if you'd like to.
Engage with us on social media at Hellworld on Twitter.
I almost gave the whole URL, including the Twitter part.
And I was like, no, no, no, that's not necessary.
And that's, of course, Hellworld spelled with a Q instead of an O. And if you'd like to give us a five star review on whatever platform of podcasting of your choice, that would be great.
If you have some money and you want to support us by giving that money to us, we would be eternally grateful, and you can do so by visiting our Patreon at patreon.com slash PokerPolitics, where you can join our legions of beautifuller babies who have access to our 40, almost 50-plus hours of bonus content, including series such as Kabbalen, What We Do Out of Shadows, and the now-ongoing Mule's Errand, all of which is us discussing debunking and Running up the score on QAnon propaganda films and series.
This week, we have like a robust number of beautiful babies for us to shout out, so thank you so much for your support.
Bill H., Megan D., Rob F., Arthur E., and Jode the Pode, which I sure hope is how that's pronounced, even though it sounds sort of like a slur, or at the very least a name that you might call somebody that you don't like.
But yeah, thank you so much Bill, Megan, Rob, Arthur, and Joe DePode for your support.
We love you for it.
But we understand that some of you folks out there might have some disposable income and don't want to give it to a couple of jerks on the internet, and we totally get that.
So you can feel free to take that money and donate it to love146.org.
They're an organization whose vision is the end of child trafficking and exploitation, and we've been supporting them since the inception of the show.
They do good work. So if you have some money and you'd like to do some good with it
Go ahead and donate it to them. Or of course you can donate it to whatever
pro Ukraine Charity you desire to help them defend their country
against the Russian incursion of laddy daddy and his apparently poisonous blood
Thank you so much to DJ minimal effort for the use of our intro theme
DJ Minimal Effort's still too cool for social media, so consider this shoutout our only way of thanking him.
If you'd like to, you can go ahead and help us in thanking our buddy Frosty, who you can find on Twitter, at FrostyVO, for supplying all of our bumps, our intro, content warning, the voice of Q whenever we need it.
That would be just fine and dandy.
Normally this time, during the show, I would be hipping you to a Sgt.
Ice spinoff podcast, Binge Wordy, but we haven't recorded one of those at a spell because our lives have suddenly become incredibly swollen with different demands on us.
But if you'd like to listen to our back catalog and be the first to know if a new episode ever drops, you can follow us on Twitter, at Binge Wordy, that's B-I-N-G-E-W-O-R-D-Y.
You can find that podcast wherever your podcasts are provided.
So, for another successful episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, I have been one of your hosts, the mysterious Hellworld Al, joined by Hellworld Sarge, and our expert at all things QAnon crazy, Mr. Mike Rains.
