	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.
	You are.
	You are, indeed.
	New software, so if there are any hiccups, that's why.
	Yes.
	And the mysterious Elle.
	Hello, my beautiful babies.
	Italian L, back in the business.
	It's-a me, Elio again.
	That's not what Mario sounds like.
	Approve-a to Chris Pratt not-a harder.
	Very easy.
	That's not what he sounds like.
	Do it better.
	Nope, that's absolutely Mario.
	I felt Mario in the room with me when I heard that.
	It's-a me, Johnny Karate.
	Oh my god.
	It's me!
	Hello, my beautiful babies!
	I have watched that preview more than once, so it looks amazing.
	Yeah, I mean, it just sounds like gibberish, but I mean, I don't even think it sounds that bad.
	I think people are just, I think people just want to hate Chris Pratt, and that's fine, because I never liked him enough to really care that much that everybody has turned him into their punching bag now.
	Yeah, we've gotten way too much Chris Pratt in the recent.
	He can just, like, if he just wants to take a year off... He's oversaturated and underserved.
	Like, all the stuff he's in is bad.
	You know what I mean?
	He's part of that new horrible Jurassic World franchise.
	He was on that, like, straight-to-Amazon or whatever sci-fi action movie that wasn't terrible.
	It was just a huge nothing.
	Yeah.
	He was in Space Creeper, which was not a good look for him.
	Like, I feel like Space Creeper into weird religious stuff was like a devastating one-two punch for his career.
	And like, at least in my sphere, internet opinion has turned on him pretty badly.
	I mean, he hasn't gone full anti-vax, so... Who is he, M.I.A.?
	Yeah!
	Oh yeah, when we get into the bouche and our beautiful boy Alex, yeah.
	A bunch of people showing their asses about him, so yeah.
	She's fly like paper, gets high like planes, even during a pandemic.
	No vaccine in these veins.
	I guess play our bumps so we can get into the boosh.
	That sounds like a plan.
	I'll do that right now.
	It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
	Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
	Time to time to boosh it up and this week for a sweet boosh I have something that I wrote down because Mike Raines told me to do it So I did it and I don't know what he's talking about.
	It just says book report question mark Oh, because last week Sarge asked me for a book report about the various factions of QAnon as they exist in the current zeitgeist.
	It's very funny because on Truth Social, which is the home for QAnon, which is what Truth Social wanted to be this whole time, Literally, my feed, the front page of truth for my feed of QAnon promoters, is literally someone just saying, look guys, I'm tired of all this drama and all this infighting.
	We're all working to defeat the Deep State.
	We don't need to be doing this.
	And then immediately somebody's like, shut up, you glow shill piece of shit, you Soros-funded Deep State arpa-darpa.
	And they're just on each other.
	So basically you have We The Media, which as I have repeatedly and I like to mockingly call quote-unquote serious QAnon.
	And that's your Jordan Sathers, your Praying Medics, your incarnated the anti-Semite chiropractor.
	Basically anyone that I talk about is probably part of We The Media and they're the people that want to be the gatekeepers And We The Media is a conglomerate on truth?
	It's a conglomerate, well they have a telegram channel and it's like the overarching brand of all these QAnon promoters.
	There's like basically like 20 to 30 of them that are in We The Media and they all like to like hold hands and sing kumbaya and we're the important guys.
	So but your first update really uh kind of I don't know surprising me is That Ikkun is dead, everybody's on Truth now?
	Oh yeah, well Ikkun has been dealing with a lot of DDoS attacks and basically if you follow Karma, 2022's, if you follow her Twitter feed, Karma's constantly posting stuff from Jim Watkins and Jim's just like Okay, guys, I tried to get 8-kun back up and running, but the capture isn't working well, so the DDoS attacks continue.
	And Jim actually, eventually, was like, look, what I need you to do is I need you to register Can you mine crypto with a phone?
	on this app in order for me to verify you so then I can let you on a coon and
	Everyone was like oh no Some untrustworthy app the Jim Watkins is busting out. Holy
	shit Talk about a great way to get yourself docs and all your
	information stolen. Thanks, but no, thanks Jim So can you mine crypto with a phone?
	That's what that app is trying to trick you into doing Oh God, thank God these like dum-dums are my favorite part
	about that. Oh, sorry There was a little bit of a delay there. It didn't mean to
	trip on you. My favorite part about that was that uh, like Best case scenario and like the thing just works out fine.
	I mean congratulations. You have access to your weird like you know, like, ahhh! They look like they're having a good
	time.
	Look at these teenage girls in wet t-shirts.
	It's not technically illegal like website for racist Worst case scenario could be like an unlimited amount of
	things, right?
	It could just be like a shill it could dox you it could spy on you for any number of people including like the feds
	Like he got just like like it could that's how Silk Road went down like yeah
	He just come out like five years from now. He could just be like a tell-all exposure
	He's just like yeah start working for the feds at the end of 2018
	With this cute stuff started to get real big it just sort of like backed away from it for the most part
	It just sort of like gave them much information and did we had this crazy idea for an app and it changed everything
	Dang.
	sigh When we tried this app with butter, everything changed.
	It's an app!
	It's the ultimate honeypot.
	Oh man.
	That's how you can tell that I'm in my mid-30s, because that TikTok thing has already come and gone, and I'm still referencing it now.
	So I derailed you a little there, because I was surprised that no one's on 8kun anymore.
	Uh, but I mean, why would they be?
	Like, it was the home of Q and it's dead now.
	So everyone's on Truth, we have the We The Media conglomerate, and they're like, they're the big boy racists, uh, maybe leaders of Q.
	Oh, so they're the leaders of QAnon, which, of course, they would get very mad at, because there is no QAnon!
	There's no QAnon, mate!
	There's Q and there's Anon!
	There is no QAnon!
	Someone who got kicked out of the Cool Kids Club, a guy named ArchiveAnon, who found out very quickly that these people You gotta toe the party line or else suddenly you're not a part of the Cool Kids Club anymore.
	But Archive Anonymous was just like, I was in a group chat where a lot of anti-Semitism was going on and that was no bueno to me.
	And it's like, have you read the Q-Drops, buddy?
	There's a Q-Drop that leads to a string of Q-Drops where Q just posts Rothschild's owned banks.
	There's a lot of anti-Semitism going around right now.
	And it, yeah, and it's just, but I'm like, I'm like, buddy, uh, Q was never anything.
	Q was an anti-Semite the whole way.
	There's a reason why he said we're, quote, we're saving Israel for last.
	There's a reason why he posted an anti-Semitic cartoon.
	So you can't separate the anti-Semitism.
	Shut up, you virtue signaling hippie.
	Boo.
	We hate it.
	Boo.
	Obviously what you're saying is wrong.
	I've, look, Having researched Q as much as I have for this show, which we all know is a ton, I've come to the conclusion that, actually, they love the Jews.
	They think Jewish people are great.
	They're big fans of that faith.
	They love it.
	Yes, 100%.
	Absolutely.
	And I defy you to show me proof to the contrary, but I get to vet the sources, and if I don't like them, it doesn't count.
	Exactly.
	Oh, man.
	You're playing the game so well.
	You're a pro already.
	So, yeah.
	So the problem is that We The Media's product is QAnon.
	It's basically just a religion.
	You're not selling anything that's tangible or real.
	You're just selling vibes and feelings.
	Hillary's going to go to jail at some ill-defined point.
	You're just pretending that you have the inside connection to God.
	And Q's gone.
	Q ain't coming back for any time in the foreseeable future.
	Because, again, 8kun's a dumpster fire they can barely keep online.
	So when other people jump in, and they're like, I believe in QAnon, and I'm worried about these WeTheMedia people, it seems like they're getting a little too big for their britches, and I think they're trying to cash in on this thing, and that's not cool to me.
	You really don't have anything to defend yourself with other than, Hey man, I've been following Q for a real long time and that gives me bona fides that you don't have.
	So it's inevitable that a group like this is going to have schisms and you're going to have like fractures in the community because It's all bullshit.
	It's all people believing whatever nonsense they want to believe based off of this dumb LARP they're all existing inside of.
	It's why they couldn't control Ghost Ezra when he got popular for a hot minute and then was doxxed as a dum-dum from Florida and he lost all his cachet.
	But there's no there there with this product, so if any schmuck shows up and spins a yarn and gets an audience, they can't stop him.
	I mean, it's why to this day you have people talking about JFK Jr.
	being alive, even though everybody in We The Media fucking hates that shit.
	They're just like, stop saying JFK Jr.' 's alive!
	It makes us look bad, bro!
	I mean, We don't want to look dumb to the media, and that's what JFK Jr.
	does.
	Stuff about Joe Biden drinking the blood of children that are trapped in deep underground military bases, that makes us look great.
	It makes us look totally serious.
	But those people never see the other side of it.
	If you're JFK Jr.
	and you're secretly alive, which he totally is, wouldn't it hurt your feelings real bad if everybody just kept on going on like you were dead?
	That's just like a nightmare.
	Gaslighting is not cool, and we should all accept that JFK Jr.
	is alive.
	As soon as he... All he needs to do is hold a single press conference where we can take his DNA to prove that he's JFK Jr., then that'll clear that up.
	And he's on his dad's boat from the movie White Squall.
	Yeah.
	With the bell and everything.
	Absolutely.
	He's just looking at that bell, a lone tear rolling down his cheek, just thinking, man, where we go one, we go all.
	What a beautiful sentiment.
	And it's just like, wait a minute.
	They used the wrong form of the word one here.
	It says one, like, like have achieved victory.
	This isn't even the same bell.
	And they're just like, uh, we, it's a replica bell because we liked the original so much.
	We couldn't dare to take it out.
	Well then, Mr. JFK Jr., I assert that you, too, are a replica, and that the real one has been famously dead for 30 years.
	The current JFK Jr.
	is a synth, and so, yes.
	Oh, that'd be great.
	Yeah, let's give him the, what's it called, the VoidConf test or whatever.
	Yeah.
	It'll just be like a turtle's on its back in the hot sun.
	What do you do?
	It's like, oh no, man, I'm JFK Jr., I promise.
	No, you give them, it's QAnon, you give them the Mein Kampf test.
	See, it's like, dude, I'm here to tell you, try to get that, those two words out without, like my brain, my brain was like doing actual autocorrect.
	It was like, surely you mean Mein Kampf.
	like you've only you've only ever used that word in one context and frequently during this podcast that you're doing so come on bro what are you talking about so if there was a little stutter in my delivery of that one it was because not only could i remember not only could i not remember the name of that thing when i came up with an educated guess my brain tried to make it a hitler joke It was like, oh, we're talking about Hitler now?
	I mean, only kind of.
	We are in QAnon, and like I've said, why do I know all these Nazis?
	I'm just in QAnon.
	It's so weird.
	Thankfully, what we're really talking about is other pasty Caucasian idiots with bad hair, like Alex Jones.
	You know, if it weren't for somebody else's no good, very bad day, we would say that Alex Jones is having the peak, the peak bad day.
	But unfortunately for Alex, I guess in this context, fortunately for Alex Jones, his nearly $1 billion and $1 billion in settlements pales in comparison
	to a familiar face.
	But Mike, fill us in.
	I mean, hopefully, what is the last Alex Jones segment we ever have to do?
	I'm totally sure that this is it.
	He's going to pay his billion dollars and then fuck off.
	What's up with Alex Jones, besides complete defeat?
	So Alex Jones, as Elle and everyone else in the media has probably told you, basically got
	hit with about a billion dollars worth of claims for all the bullshit he did, peddling lies about what
	happened at Sandy Hook.
	And so So, the good thing about this is that when he got hit for the money in Texas, everyone was saying, well, Texas has caps on how much you can get hit for, and they're going to reduce that, he ain't going to pay nearly that much, he'll be able to survive it.
	I haven't seen anything that's indicated that Connecticut has caps that can actually really take this down a notch.
	Because I'm sure that on appeal, a bunch of judges are going to get into a room and be like, whoa, a billion dollars, slow your roll there, jury.
	If those judges come back and be like, Alex, Alex, we've decided to cut you a break.
	You only owe $300,000,000.
	I'm sure Alex will be like, oh shit!
	And just pull out his wallet and pay the $300,000,000 and be on his way.
	So this is big boy money, and there's really no out for him to avoid it because he doesn't have a case to appeal because he refused to participate in this whole proceeding.
	Yeah, he lost by default.
	And I actually had someone literally parroting Alex's talking points about this whole thing on Twitter last night that was like, this was a default judgment, which is bullshit.
	And it's like so unfair that what happened to Alex.
	And it's like, no, the man had years to comply.
	He literally had years to comply with Discovery.
	On three separate occasions they had a different corporate representative go to be deposed, and all three times the corporate representative had no fucking idea what was going on.
	Yeah, he got hit with like ten million dollars in sanctions because he kept sending idiots to get deposed.
	Right.
	So he played this whole proceedings as a farce to the point where, like, Alex and many people have said, default judgments like this almost never happen.
	Yet three separate lawsuits, two in Texas and one in Connecticut, all three judges were like, I'm defaulting you.
	You fucking prick.
	Like, you have so worn the court's patience that we're just going to declare you the loser because we're sick of you.
	And it takes work to achieve that.
	You have to push so hard for our legal system to not bend over backwards and give you a chance.
	He earned every bit of this, and he has no leg to stand on in appeal.
	He can't claim First Amendment, because he refused to participate.
	But you know what he does have, though?
	Vocal supporters, somehow.
	Including our friend Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	Of course, it's a QAnon podcast, of course we can't talk about Alex Jones without talking about QAnon, and QAnon fans and friends, which I almost shortened to frans.
	Franz Ferdinand.
	So Mike, what has the QAnon temperature been on this decision?
	I ask knowing already what the answer is.
	Well, the thing that's really funny about this in a lot of ways is that, um...
	QAnon wants this to be about quote-unquote free speech.
	So like Marjorie Taylor Greene saying that.
	Any any chuckle fuck who doesn't really know what a monster Alex Jones is and they want to try to get some clout with him, they'll talk about how Alex Jones is being censored.
	How about this is a bad look because yeah Alex may have done some bad things but all he did was voice his opinions.
	All he did was speak his mind which we're supposed to have the right to do under the First Amendment.
	Which again if you followed this case you know that's bullshit.
	But QAnon has to thread a needle, because Alex Jones, according to them, is Mossad-funded disinformation.
	Which, again, totally no anti-Semitism there.
	Yeah, it's always Mossad.
	They have to do this thing where like, look, now we all know what Alex Jones is up to, winky winky, but, and then they get into the free speech argument.
	Whereas to me, if you were like an honest QAnon supporter, you'd be like, yeah, take that Alex Jones, you massage shill.
	Boom.
	Deep state sold you out, bro.
	Lay with dogs, wake up with fleas.
	How you like them apples?
	But Because QAnon knows that Q and Alex's feud is totally kayfabe and they both believe totally the exact same fucking thing, they have to be on Alex's side.
	They have to coach it a little, they have to explain why they're taking Alex's side, but they're gonna get down to the free speech nonsense.
	Yeah, every chuckle fuck I've seen coming out on his side is always like, oh it's a free speech issue, oh he No, it's not.
	They let him say whatever he wants for years, and now he's just literally paying for it.
	And he had his day in court to defend himself, which would have been a bully of a time to break up a free speech defense if he had decided to go that route, but he decided it was unnecessary.
	He was like, how much could it really cost?
	I'll just blow the court off.
	What can they possibly do to me?
	Hit me with a billion dollars in settlements?
	Oh no!
	I mean, I don't want to agree with the man, but I saw some of his live reaction to it and he goes, why not make it a trillion?
	What does it matter at this point?
	And I was like, well, they should.
	That you should never be allowed to have money again, ever.
	And the best part was that his live reaction to getting destroyed was, I declared bankruptcy!
	They're never going to see a nickel of this money!
	Which, I think the Bankruptcy Court is going to look upon that very favorably.
	The Bankruptcy Court is going to go, Oh Alex, you're using bankruptcy to avoid paying settlements to the lawsuit you lost!
	Good move, bro!
	Boom!
	Judge, like, just steps away from the bench, gives him a brofist.
	Being like, smooth!
	Way to go, Alex!
	Way to game the system!
	You smarty pants!
	Just pinches Alex's cheek and tussles what's left of his hair.
	So yeah, I just... He can't help himself.
	Even in the midst of all this shit, even in his absolute moment of total annihilation, he has to be like, wait, wait, wait, wait, everyone.
	I'm gonna annihilate myself a little more for you.
	I'm just gonna punch myself in the dick.
	After I just had this jury smash my cock and balls with a hammer repeatedly.
	They didn't do enough work on it.
	I'm gonna do a little damage to myself.
	I mean, it's just... God, he's incredible.
	He's just such an incredibly stupid idiot.
	Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, basically.
	Well, I mean, he has, as we say in the business, entered the finding out part of fucking around.
	Yes.
	I mean, we've finally been proven that, hey, no matter how rich and powerful you are, and Caucasian, I guess, and male, and straight, all of these things, no matter how many of all of the force multipliers you have, you cannot be in such open defiance of the court.
	And we found that out conclusively.
	Or have we?
	Play that news bump.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News!
	Yes, so our boy Donald Trump.
	Oh boy.
	This is all actual news to me.
	I've been following all the nonsense.
	Dateline!
	October 13th in the year of our Lord, 2022.
	Sullied and defeated, our boys march for the digital front lines, having suffered a devastating blow.
	General, President, God, King, and country itself, Donald Trump.
	We'll be subpoenaed by the January 6th Committee.
	And surely there's no way for him to weasel out of this one.
	Boys, we've done it!
	We've lost the war!
	Well, the first thing, I really wish I had tweeted this the moment the announcement came out that the January 6th Committee was going to subpoena Trump.
	I did check Twitter, or I should say Truth, and it's already out there.
	It's a trap.
	Are you sure you want to subpoena the God Emperor?
	Are you sure you want to have him walk into that public hearing and lay the hammer down on you guys?
	He's going to bring the thunder.
	He's going to bring the truth.
	He's going to expose your web of lies.
	Are you sure?
	Just imagine the discovery, Mike.
	Discovery.
	Oh my God, the discovery.
	You have no idea.
	Oh my God, the discovery.
	Everybody, leaning closer, really cup your heads over your headphones while I whisper to you.
	Discovery!
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So maybe, you know, being subpoenaed to stand to sort of like, and justify your treason, or what have you, as the former President of the United States, that might be a push for losing a billion dollars in terms of having a bad day.
	But in addition to that, Donald Trump's appeal for his Might I add PACT Supreme Court to bail him out of his little Mar-a-Lago problem.
	They were just like, yeah, nah, we're not doing that.
	Yeah.
	The Supreme Court rejected his appeal about the documents.
	And on top of rejecting it, they also made it clear there were no, no one bothered to put a dissent down on the docket.
	Not even Clarence Thomas, whose wife is like up to her neck in one six bullshit.
	Not even Clarence Thomas wanted to be like, bro, bro, I had your back on this one, but the other eight, they didn't see it my way.
	So I couldn't, even Clarence Thomas was like, nope, fuck that.
	Just tell him no.
	At some point, he's going to be like staring down the barrel of an annulment, like by the government of his marriage, because once conservatives get their way, they're just going to be like, we don't really like race mixing.
	We've never been a huge fan of that.
	And we're just going to end it.
	He's going to be like, no, but my precious wife, She's just so beautiful and nice.
	My beautiful, pilled wife.
	Oh, what will I do without her?
	Yeah, it's gonna be great for Clarence Thomas when the other five cranks on the Supreme Court vote five to four to overturn Loving v. Virginia, as God and the Republican Party intended.
	So yeah, that's super deluxe, awesome, nice, great.
	So yeah, you have that happening.
	You have the subpoena.
	And basically, the only thing Trump can do with this subpoena from the 1-6 committee, besides, like, pray the Republicans win the House and pray they withdraw the subpoena and just try to sweep this under the rug, is he has to take the fifth.
	That's it.
	And he has famously said that if you take the fifth, you're fucking guilty.
	So, um, that's the, that's where, that's where he's at.
	So basically Trump's only plan- Yeah, and that soundbite will be played to deaf ears across the world as conservatives are just like, yeah, we've been immune to, we took the feat that makes us immune to hypocrisy, like a billion years ago.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh, we just, we just don't care.
	We could just simultaneously just be like, strangling your neighbor to death is wrong.
	Now move on little one.
	I have to continue strangling my neighbor.
	I'm so confused.
	Abortion is murder, and anyone who, like, I don't know, pays for an abortion should probably go to jail for conspiracy to commit murder.
	Unless they're running for the Senate in Georgia and have an R next to their name.
	In which case, you need to fucking vote for them!
	You need to crawl across broken glass to vote for them!
	Oh, that guy also has a brain injury and can barely talk?
	Still do it!
	We don't give a shit!
	We just want power!
	We have no standards, none!
	Fucking vote our way, you rubes!
	We don't care about anything except power!
	The only lesson that they took from the parents that raised them was do as I say, not as I do.
	Yes, absolutely, 100%.
	And now there's, I mean, they're still out there saying that he's got more documents that they haven't found yet.
	They're like, okay, well, we've gone over everything we got from him.
	Uh, National Archives is just like, there's still a bunch missing.
	And also, there's apparently that staffer that came forward and was just like, yeah, he like instructed me to move a bunch of those documents after he got subpoenaed.
	He immediately was just like, hey, those things that the government's after me, we're not giving them to the government.
	In fact, we're moving them from where the government knows they are.
	I mean, that's clearly a crime.
	It's just one more crime to add on to the big pile of all the crimes he's committed that he will never actually see any justice for.
	But the college try that's being made is quite juicy.
	I do love that they're bothering to actually try to do it, considering all the projections still have the Republicans winning the House or whatever, and then they're just going to be like, Donald Trump?
	Don't know, never knew the guy, don't even know Sabina.
	I hardly know her.
	So yeah, that's a funny joke, and we're just going to ignore this one.
	And then all of us liberals are going to be like, no, but all the criming.
	You know?
	Yeah.
	So there was also that guy that said he was directed to move the boxes, a company that I guess
	like kind of specializes in handling the transportation of classified documents.
	They came out recently and said, yeah, we were contracted by the White House to, like, do that shit for when Trump was leaving and Biden was coming into office.
	And, like, we had a last minute cancellation from the White House.
	They just gave us the ring and said, hey, we're not going to need you for that movement of sensitive materials out of the White House.
	And that shit never happens to our company because you have to have certain levels of clearance to even touch those boxes.
	Like the people we staff our company with have to pass background checks and have to do all this kind of stuff to even get within six miles of that shit.
	So we don't know who else you can go to to do that.
	So that cancellation blew our minds.
	So, like, that is another thing that dovetails in with, like, the staffer guy being like, yeah, I was told to grab the boxes and, you know, just get them moving.
	Get them on their way to Mar-a-Lago, where they belong, because that's the way the government handles sensitive materials, 100%.
	Yeah, that unmarked cardboard box that says, Do Not Open, filled with secrets.
	Holy shit.
	No wonder this guy came forward.
	Please don't charge me with espionage.
	I only moved a box.
	At the order of the former president.
	Yeah, I was just following orders.
	That's right.
	How many times are we going to work a little Hitler ref into this week's episode?
	We'll see.
	We'll see, because Lord knows we're not going to stop.
	Quite a few.
	Anyway, speaking of Hitler and anti-Semites, we talked about what the man done did.
	Now, let's get back into the nitty-gritty of it.
	You touched on it a little bit earlier, but now I want to bask in it now that I have a fuller scope of what's going on.
	Tell me, what's QAnon's reaction?
	Tell me!
	Well, this is the thing.
	In this moment, besides the trap synopsis, you have what I like to call the silence.
	This is that 12 to 48 hour window where QAnon and the rest of the right wing are trying to percolate their talking points.
	They're trying to figure out how they handle this.
	I've seen some people throwing out shit like, you know the only reason why this January 6th committee is happening is because gas prices are skyrocketing again and inflation is through the roof and the Democrats are just trying to cover up their failed agenda with another nothing burger of a publicity stunt to distract the American people.
	But the American people are going to see through it!
	And there's going to be a red wave in November!
	That's generally, like, the opening.
	And QAnon's never going to have an answer for the Supreme Court, because they can't.
	Because the Supreme Court was supposed to have been captured.
	I mean, Q made it clear that, like, getting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court was basically going to be game over, and Hillary and Obama were going to be frog-marched to Guantanamo post-haste.
	And then them getting ACB on the court was just a cherry on top.
	Like, the court should be double-plus-triple secured.
	So they're never going to be able to explain why SCOTUS told Trump to pound sand.
	Unless Moloch got to all of them.
	That would be awesome!
	That's one of the things about QAnon that's so funny.
	And it happens with all these kinds of conspiracy theories where they're constantly winning, but then they have to re-up the power level of the enemy in order to make the enemy bad and evil and scary again.
	They just can't ever keep things where they're supposed to be.
	You're constantly winning, but you never win.
	Why is that?
	Well, because the bad guys played a counter move.
	But you told me that you're five steps ahead!
	Everything they show on TV and the movies is real.
	Because they are required to let you know in advance what they're doing.
	Yep.
	The vampire has to ask permission to get in the door.
	Absolutely.
	I mean, it's just... It's like Jujutsu Kaisen, where whatever your secret forbidden technique is becomes stronger if you explain how it works to your opponent while you're fighting them.
	Which has always been a thing in anime and manga since the invention of the Shonen, but I do really love that it's like an actual in-universe mechanical thing in Jujutsu Kaisen.
	It's literally just like, oh yeah, if you brag to your opponent and tell them how your super move works and what its weaknesses might be, it makes it stronger.
	It will give you the juice.
	Like corn!
	Another thing I'm going to continue to reference, it's Corn and Hitler!
	All Corn and Hitler all the way down, baby!
	It's like the middle of the United States all over again.
	Oh, there's no stopping this.
	It goes all the way to the bottom.
	It's corn and Nazism all the way down.
	That's pretty much all we've got.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, look, everybody, everybody has their own opinion about various religious faiths.
	And Lord knows in America, everybody loves a non-Christian religious faith.
	But especially the marginalized, unfortunate victims of the American machine, which is to say successful African-American rap mogul people like Ye, who I'm going to try not to deadname because that is like, you know, he has changed his name to Ye.
	I'll try to respect that wish, despite the fact that all the stuff he does and says makes me want to tear my bones out of my own body.
	Especially when he is alongside a friend of the show, and also a friend of Matt Gaetz, Tucker Carlson.
	So, Mike, tell us a tale.
	A tale of an interview between two actual, factual, bad people.
	Ye West and Tucker Carlson.
	So the big thing here was the fact that Ye, goes on Tucker Carlson and gives this rambling, terrible interview.
	The scummiest part of this is that Tucker edits out a lot of the interview because he knows that Kanye gives a lot of antisemitism.
	There's a lot of antisemitic tropes in this conversation.
	There's a lot of not great things that he says.
	The best part about this is that in his intro to this interview, Carlson's just like, yeah, the evil liberals like to tell you that Kanye is crazy, but I'm going to let you be the judge of that.
	Spoiler alert, I'm not going to actually let you be the judge of that because I'm going to leave a lot of his crazy on the editing room floor so you don't hear it.
	I'm going to give him the best shine possible on this.
	I'm gonna give him the best shine possible on this.
	So you get this very edited thing.
	And the other thing about this is that Tucker was still defending this after he went even further
	off the rails and made the DEFCON 3 on the Jewish people tweets later on.
	Even after that, Tucker wasn't like, you know, probably shouldn't have platformed him.
	He's probably in a really bad manic phase right now.
	He needs the people around him and himself to get him some help, because the man's in a dark place in this moment.
	Nope, he's still just like, ah, done the interview.
	Nailed it.
	Good call on my part to do that.
	I'm proud of my work.
	Tucker Carlson straight crushing it, giving the American people the hard-hitting inside intel they deserve.
	Sorry to interrupt you here, but it's time for one of our rare segments.
	We're going to dust it off.
	And it's time for a segment called, Let's Talk About Real Shit.
	So let's talk about some real shit.
	And I propose a question to you and to the audience and to everybody.
	At what point do I get to start saying, you know what, yay, I know you've got a mental disorder that's like diagnosed and all that.
	And that's unfortunate.
	And if you're having an episode here, that's a huge bummer.
	But also, I don't care about that, and fuck you, because your platform reaches tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of people, and we can't be having you going up there talking about how all of the Jews are bad.
	Like, that's a shitty episode, but you are causing too much damage for me to, like, my empathy for your mental illness has gone to the side, because I have much more empathy for Jews comma all.
	So, like, have we reached that point?
	Can we take the temperature on this?
	Can I be like, yo, Ye sucks and fuck him?
	Yeah, no, everyone thinks that.
	Everyone agrees with you.
	Everyone's just tired and burnt out.
	Like, we should respect someone, like, having a manic episode and clearly going through something.
	But this is, like, the 20th time.
	And Kanye got kicked off of Instagram After posting his incredibly anti-semitic tweets to Puff Daddy, when Puff Daddy offered to come and talk to him, and like, hey, you're doing a lot of damage.
	You need to knock this shit off.
	Let me come talk to you in person and explain this awful thing you're doing.
	And, you know, just talk to you.
	And that's when Kanye said, no, I'm sending a message to the Jews that control you.
	Yeah, I know the Jews that control you are trying to use you to get to me.
	Right, exactly.
	So, and yeah, part of the interview they cut out was that Kanye believed that A child that was hanging out with his friends, or that was staying with them, was a paid actor sent to, like, fuck with him.
	Well, he better fucking put a quirk on that one right now, otherwise that might be a billion dollars down the line, thank you friend!
	Yeah.
	And that's one of the things Tucker cut out, and that Vice got a hold of.
	It's just, it's so sad, but no, I think everyone is with you that, like, Kanye needs, like, actual genuine help, and if he keeps, but now he's, like, doing real damage to a lot of people and putting forward- Yeah, I mean, granted, like, I understand that you don't get to control, like, what form your episodes take, but, like, you know, Ye putting his Grammy in the toilet, That's an unfortunate episode, obviously.
	It seems like a weird thing to just all of a sudden be doing.
	But it's not really hurting anybody, except for maybe your house cleaner and anyone who had a hand in making your Grammy.
	They might be like, oh man, that's rude.
	But at the end of the day, that's your thing.
	You can throw it in the toilet and pee on it all you want, but you're not hurting anybody.
	Unfortunately, this episode and previous episodes where he's been taking to his social media
	and disparaging an incredibly huge group of people, yeah, I mean, that's like, we have to,
	at some point we just get to say that he sucks so that we don't like him anymore, right?
	It's like, we get it, man.
	Graduation is one of the best hip-hop albums of all time.
	Nobody can take that from you.
	Now, please, fuck off.
	Like, become best friends with Elon Musk and have him send you in a rocket to a planet that needs a gun, a Ye West.
	We do not need a Ye West.
	Yeah.
	It was like the guy who said to Mia, where he was like, don't do this.
	Everyone loves the cash register gun song.
	Just stop.
	Stop now.
	Don't ruin our memories of it.
	I had no idea that she was such a hardline anti-vaxxer, so I'll be happy to keep hearing her song occasionally in movie soundtracks, but that's a wrap on her.
	Don't use your platform to fucking hurt people.
	That includes disparaging the Jewish community with anti-Semitism and trying to actually get people killed by refusing to take vaccines that are perfectly safe.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that was one of the funniest things about the Tucker interview.
	So he edits out all of this, like the anti-Semitism, the weird story of the replicant.
	The Black Israeli.
	Yeah, the Black Israeli movement.
	He also, like, there was like a thing where he left most of it in, but Kanye made a quick little comment about, oh yeah, I'm vaccinated against COVID.
	Snip!
	They snipped that out.
	They did not want he to tell the world.
	Yeah, all these other horrible things I believe in are bad, and Tucker's going to let me say most of them, but Tuck Tuck's not going to let me tell his audience, oh yeah, I got vaccinated against COVID.
	Because that undermines the narrative that Tucker's going for.
	Yeah, it's weird.
	I listened to several clips today on another podcast, and like, he genuinely sounds unwell.
	Like, he's just rambling, and It genuinely sounds crazy.
	It's so sad.
	It's just very sad that no one can actually help him except for himself.
	He definitely needs to be medicated and seek professional help.
	But he goes on to say that people less talented than him should not be allowed to tell him that he's being crazy.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, that's the model. That's the model So, yeah, but like when was your last sick banger though, I
	mean Donda came out Nobody seems to give a fuck about it. Like I haven't heard
	a single Don the song on the breeze in a hot minute So it's just like how talented are you really now that you've
	been having all these crazy episodes, dude Like yeah, your your peak was like 15 years ago or whatever.
	I mean granted like, you know, I love dark twisted fantasy And that was like what 12 years ago, but I mean like, you
	know his his stuff got worse and dude, obviously like I listened
	to a bunch of yay like like a Pablo and all that shit like and
	Fucking like it's just like yeah, he hasn't been relevant.
	He's just sort of like a Kardashian now, which is you know ironic
	That was just sort of famous for being famous.
	Nobody really cares about his actual artistic output.
	But it's hard to do when your artistic output is like, I'm going to go to Fashion Week and I'm going to wear a White Lives Matter shirt.
	It's like, the sick artistic expression, bro.
	What the fuck are you saying?
	To sell it.
	And now he's selling that shirt.
	He's not saying anything with it.
	It's just controversy.
	And it's people like Tucker and Candace Owens taking advantage of his mental illness to, like... I have not looked at the price point of that White Lives Matter shirt, but I bet it's ridiculous.
	So, I mean...
	Also, for the record, I mean, again, like if he's, it seems like he's a Republican now,
	which means that he has picked up his immunity to hypocrisy, but when you're raving at P. Diddy, Sean Combs,
	Puff Daddy, whatever it is now, and telling him that he is controlled by,
	and I quote, the Jews or whatever.
	Yeah, capital J.
	Like, and that he can't be trusted because he's got somebody's hand up him.
	Like, the behavior of the current Ye West really makes it seem like some Caucasian with money,
	god damn, right?
	I mean, I'm not saying that's the case, but if you wanted to make that case
	for one of these two individuals, like, P. Diddy's not out there
	hanging out with Donald Trump saying that white lives matter.
	Like, that seems like a compromised thing to me.
	Mr. George Bush doesn't care about black people.
	That's a pretty sick 180 there, bud.
	I mean, if we want to get Tim Foyle a hat, dawg, I got one.
	And it says, Ye West is, like, compromised.
	Oh yeah!
	I mean, that's the thing, is that you're looking for an angle, you're looking for a way to keep attention on yourself, and it's like, going right-wing is the easiest grift in the world.
	Because that's one of my favorite things about QAnon, is that they They literally spend all their days being like, oh, every celebrity, every politician, everyone in the music industry, they all sold their souls to the devil.
	They're all part of this Luciferian cult.
	But the moment someone famous is like, oh yeah, I don't like the vaccine, or you know who's cruel?
	Donald Trump.
	Suddenly that famous person is the greatest.
	They're the best.
	Oh, I love that famous guy because he loves Trump and he hates the vaccine.
	It's so good.
	How did they get famous?
	How did that happen?
	Because I thought you had to, like, literally, like, sign a contract with Lucifer the Morningstar in order to get your video out on YouTube and get 100 million views.
	I thought success could only be obtained via, like, bending the knee to the literal Christian devil.
	Like, I thought that was the price you had to pay.
	And yet, like, somehow, some way, a lot of washed-up A lot of washed up musicians and actors come out on TV and are just like, I'm super conservative!
	Boom.
	Booked on Fox News once a week.
	Guaranteed.
	Oh, you want your own radio show podcast?
	Boom.
	Tens of thousands of listeners.
	Guaranteed.
	They hate the media and they hate stars, but they're the world's biggest star fuckers.
	They're just so desperate to get anyone remotely famous to be on their side.
	And so if you're someone like Yi, who, as Ella said, Hasn't been exactly killing it with the bangers recently.
	Hasn't been creating really good music.
	You just go conservative and boom!
	You're in the news.
	You get attention.
	Everyone's talking about you.
	As Elle just said, what happened to this guy?
	The guy that literally said George W. Bush doesn't care about black people.
	That guy's done a complete 180.
	Now he's wearing a MAGA hat.
	Literally ran third party to try to siphon the black vote away from Joe Biden to try to get Trump reelected.
	This guy was literally part of the plot to try to steal the election.
	Yeah, and, you know, like, Tim Foyle hat off, it's obvious that the only thing he's really compromised by is mental illness, and that if he has had, like, a lust for money and power that would have led him down this road, like, that's not being compromised, it's just who he is.
	But, you know, it's easy to look at it and just be like, yo, it's probably a byproduct of his mental illness, which is unfortunate.
	Uh, you know, that part still continues to suck, but what sucks even harder is using your huge platform for anti-Semitism.
	So, uh, yay, not exactly in my good graces currently.
	All right, Elf, do you want to, you want to take a pop quiz?
	When was the last time, uh, yay had a song in the Billboard Top 100?
	The Billboard Top 100?
	Uh, was it Black Skinhead back in like 2016?
	Uh, no.
	That did not chart.
	Did it not?
	Then I have no idea.
	It's, um, 2012.
	Okay, so slightly earlier than I thought.
	12.
	OK.
	So it's slightly earlier than I thought.
	So that was inwards in Paris.
	And then.
	Yeah, dude, because that whole era, that was like the second restart.
	Like, you know, graduation I still think is his best work.
	And then, boom, there at the end, like beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy into Watch the Throne.
	Like, that was like, it was like, oh, shit.
	Yay, he's the biggest star on the planet.
	And then, what, you said it was 2012 was the last time we got one of the top 100?
	Fuck yeah.
	Yeah.
	And then, before that, All the Lights, All the Lights.
	But yeah, his Gold Digger was his biggest one, with 10 weeks in number one and 39 weeks on the chart.
	Also, for, for comparison, didn't Lady Gaga hit the top 100 with that Star is Born song, like, you know, five years ago or four years ago or whatever, and maybe again since then?
	Yeah.
	What I'm saying is that, like, look, Some of Ye's music is incredible.
	His output recently has kind of sucked.
	Like, especially compared to the bar he's set to himself.
	For the past decade, he hasn't had anything chart.
	Like... Anyway, so yeah.
	Unfortunate week for Ye.
	I mean, incredibly fortunate week if you're a fan of QAnon.
	Because this has to be the biggest celebrity in their pocket now, right?
	not like famous for being like a conservative goon already like Tucker Carlson. Yeah. Like if
	if he is fully, fully on team Republican white Caucasian people with money and influence now,
	then those the QAnon's going to be gripping themselves tightly and screaming,
	like very good noises, let's just say. Oh, okay.
	Quick correction.
	The Throne did chart, but I'm looking at his full list.
	He's been on tracks that have charted more recently, but...
	I'm not counting.
	I love it.
	Maybe he's just been producing hot shit.
	I'm not counting.
	I love it.
	You know who else topped a bunch of hot shit?
	The Neptunes.
	They were on every popular song for a full decade and only one of them got to be independently famous in front of the camera.
	What does that say about producers, eh?
	Yeah, and I just looked up Lady Gaga's Top Gun song made the Billboard 100, so... There we go.
	There we go.
	Lady Gaga out there, like twice the celebrity Ye is.
	Which means, Lady Gaga, you have Ye's permission to tell Ye that he is acting the fool, and we demand that you do it.
	You need to be like...
	You need to be like, hey, now that I have, like, I've come back triumphantly in, like, the third season after being absent for the second season because I was off doing a Tony Bennett lounge show tour around the world, but I'm back now, and I'm charting again, and you're not, and based on your logic, that means that I am more powerful than you.
	It could tell you to stop fucking up.
	It turns out that Jewish people are just regular people made, like, just you need to leave them alone.
	He's not going to like Lady Gaga's religion.
	I mean, it's not up to Ye to fucking question her.
	She has the power.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Okay, well that was fun.
	I mean, at the very least, it was not having to talk about Donald Trump or Alex Jones.
	So let's keep that train rolling.
	Next headline for the news segment this week, Tulsi Gabbard's totally unexpected heel turn.
	Yeah, speaking of switching teams, let's talk about Tulsi Gabbard.
	Yeah, so Tulsi Gabbard released a statement saying, I can't be a Democrat anymore.
	I mean, I tried really hard.
	She looked at all the angles for remaining in the Democratic Party.
	Just couldn't do it.
	Oh my God.
	Oh my God.
	Can't believe it.
	I can't believe we lost Tulsi.
	I thought it was real close there for a moment that the lady who was constantly on Tucker Carlson and Fox News and attacking Democrats constantly.
	I thought she was going to stay in the fold.
	I thought she was going to remain a team player, but turns out not so much.
	She brought the folding chair to the ring.
	She left it by her quarter, and then at some point, aw, she hit, aw, I can't believe that when the ref's back was turned, she would hit her opponent with that chair.
	Who could have seen this coming?
	Never.
	Never, not once.
	It wasn't telegraphed a mile away, yeah.
	So, yeah.
	So I'm assuming that since we're talking about this, it has to be considered a tremendous dub in the world of the people that we talk about.
	It is.
	So this is what happened.
	And this is, again, the fun of QAnon.
	So Tulsi Gabbard comes out, says she's a Republican now, and there's a bunch of QAnon promoters who are like, Yay!
	We did it!
	We got Tulsi!
	Oh, the Democratic Party, they're going crazy!
	I remember back in 2016 when the Democrats thought Tulsi Gabbard was the future of their party.
	Now look at what happened.
	They've gone so far to the left.
	They've gone so crazy.
	Even Tulsi Gabbard can't be a part of their madness anymore.
	And there was like everyone getting in the circle and doing a dance and being all happy about it.
	And then there were QAnon promoters who were like, but Tulsi Gabbard did a, she had a picture where she did the triangle with her hands.
	You know, she's, she's got, she was signaling to Illuminati overlords and you just can't take back a triangle photo.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	You just can't do it.
	You can't go un-Luminati.
	You can't go un-Luminati.
	You can't untether yourself once you've been documented making the Diamond Dallas Page sign to the cameras.
	Okay, so are these people still rooting for Ye's onboarding to their cause?
	Because Ye, historically, and very famously, at least back in the day, at least as of, excuse me, recently, Tremendously good friends with Jay-Z.
	Now, I don't know how much you know about the man Jay-Z, Mike Raines, but he used to really heavily represent Rockefeller Records, aka The Rock.
	And The Rock's symbol is also the Diamond Dallas Page diamond symbol, which is also a triangle.
	I guess it's supposed to be a diamond shape, but it can very easily be construed as triangle.
	Yes.
	Oh yeah, the Jay-Z and Beyonce are Illuminati 100%.
	That existed long before QAnon.
	Illuminati confirmed.
	Oh, they are.
	The mythos with them is so involved that I remember people saying that Jay-Z and Beyonce merely sold out to the Illuminati to become pawns.
	They understood that the Illuminati has a strict initiation procedure.
	Like, no matter how famous and powerful you are, you can only attain a certain status as the first generation of the Illuminati.
	But Blue Ivy, and the further children that Jay-Z and Beyonce have had, they will get full Illuminati benefits down the line.
	Like, they will be truly- I don't know, man.
	Beyonce has to be on that adrenochrome tip right now, because she is radiant.
	I don't know how she does it.
	She looks incredible.
	And not even just from an attractive standpoint, which is also true.
	I mean, she's a very attractive woman.
	But she does have that glow that comes with being the figurehead of a cult, even if you don't want to be one.
	Right.
	And she has a big enough fan base that a big enough percentage of them are ravenous enough to give her cult glow.
	Like, would she, like, if you're in a room with her, I'm sure that you're just like, wow, I can feel it.
	Like, there are people that believe in you.
	That's crazy. Oh yeah, the beehive is not to be fooxed with, yes. So there's a guy,
	Brendan Dilley, who is a washed up has-been in the QAnon community, who is now on Truth Social,
	throwing elbows at We The Media, trying to get back that cachet that he had back in the good
	old days when people actually cared about him. And he's a guy who's been in the QAnon community for a
	He's posted an angry series of screens about Tulsi Gabbard being totally fake and a CIA front character.
	My favorite thing about this is they got an article from the Daily Mail where it says, Gabbard overtakes Pence as third favorite to win 2024 GOP nomination.
	Which, A, holy shit is that meaningless because Mike Pence is never winning the Republican nomination in a million years.
	Yeah, it would take them way too long to reprogram him to be suitable for a presidential run.
	It could just never happen.
	He's like sitting in a warehouse right now doing nothing.
	It's been a while since he's been booted up, like... That guy is just... He only looked good because he was next to Trump.
	Holy shit.
	My favorite part was when that fly landed on his wet pupil and it did not change.
	There was no blinking.
	He just let it skitter across his eyeball like an Aeon Flux cartoon.
	Yeah.
	So A, Pence is never going to be the nominee, and B, when you're talking about the third nominee, you're ignoring the fact that Trump and DeSantis have 98% of the Republican primary options locked down.
	Like, those are the two guys that everyone's talking about as the two-man field that's possible.
	And I, for one, think DeSantis will, like, piss his pants the moment Trump's like, I'm running for president!
	And, uh, baby little Ron DeSantis thinks he can stop me?
	Get fucked, Ron!
	And I think DeSantis will just start crying at that point, because I don't think... I truly don't think he can sit up to the bully.
	So...
	Yeah, I mean, again, hey, DeSantis' people, I don't want to help your campaign, but if you want to take my idea of just go hard, I will take your money.
	Because, unfortunately, I do think that strategy is your only winning one.
	Yep, 100%.
	You're just like, hey, guess what?
	The old king is stupid and ugly and old and dead, and I am the new king, and I'm just like him, but I'm young and not old and actually in shape.
	Yep.
	I agree with literally all of that.
	But I truly don't believe DeSantis can go hard.
	I just love the idea that this guy's mad about some idiot's unpredicted move Tulsi Gabbard to the 4 cent possibility over Mike Pence, who was the 4 cent possibility.
	Meanwhile, Trump and DeSantis are 72% and 24% and it's just like yeah no one cares and again it's this is speculative bullshit gambling on the internet it means nothing so it was really funny that we literally had uh like i'd say maybe about like 24 hours of
	Gabbard mania in QAnon and then immediately the pendulum swung super hard to the other way to just like don't trust her she's she's I mean I think there's honestly more people in QAnon holding out hope that AOC is a white hat than there than there is that Tulsi Gabbard is a white hat I their their just lust for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is like just irrational whereas like Tulsi Gabbard is meh whatever so I mean, like, if you want to know the honest truth about it, I'm pretty sure the only reason they care about AOC is because she is a, like, young, attractive female Democrat opponent for them, as opposed to all their other female Democrat opponents who are, like, older women that would not be, like, man, hot.
	You know what I mean?
	Yep.
	But also, the Democrats really could stand to have some, like, young leadership.
	Yeah, oh, I like AOC for, like, wildly other reasons than that.
	But I, like, I don't, I don't, you know, QAnon loves to hate her.
	And I honestly think a big part of the reason why they love to hate her is because she's just young and attractive.
	And all their other enemies are, like, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
	These, like, you know, just regular-ass older white women that if you wanted to make crones in your fan art, you could.
	But then you have, like, AOC, who's just like, yeah, I'm, like, below the age of 65 by a lot.
	And what do you got?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's the thing.
	Like, QAnon on the right, they love posting pictures of, like, old Democrat women and being like, look at these hags that are Democrats.
	And they get their pictures of Boebert and MTG and be like, look at these smoking hot Republican chicks.
	Vote Republican.
	We got the hot babes.
	And it's just like, so, like, AOC, like, ruins that narrative for them.
	Because it's like, oh, my God, a woman who's, like, Like, traditionally attractive, and she's a Democrat.
	No!
	No!
	We can't accept this.
	It's bad and wrong.
	It's also non-white.
	Well, there we go.
	There's our hook.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Even if she wasn't secretly a man, which she totally obviously is.
	She's way too hot to be a woman.
	That is their playbook.
	Even if she wasn't a man, she's not white, so no deal.
	That's why we are proud to introduce our new dating app for the racist conservative Hitler, HTLR.
	And when you download the Hitler app, you'll be connected only to people of the purest, whitest blood.
	Nice.
	That's convenient.
	And pretty soon we'll be rolling out our No More Italians or Irish expansion, which will be great.
	Yes!
	Because once we get down to just white people, then we do have to continue to wean them out, you know what I mean?
	Yeah, you split hairs.
	You guys get it.
	You guys know what I'm talking about.
	Yep.
	Oh yeah.
	We want our lump to have no knobs.
	Wow.
	Laughter Yeah, that was, uh,
	that's the, uh, the mysterious el's
	reach of the week.
	Laughter Oh, boy.
	Okay, well, I mean, so the main reason I'm vamping and reaching is because I don't know who Danchenko is, and that's the next thing we're talking about on our headline list.
	So, once again, an opportunity for Mike Rains to educate me, the co-host of the podcast we're recording as I speak.
	So Denchenko is the guy that our hero Durham is currently on trial trying to convict for lying to the FBI.
	Oh, I fell asleep like halfway through that statement.
	Yeah Take two.
	Okay.
	Yeah And the best part about this trial is the fact that it's absolute bullshit.
	There's nothing to this.
	And pretty much from the jump, this has been made clear because Durham himself is actually handling this prosecution.
	He's actually in the courtroom asking witnesses stuff.
	Usually the guy running the investigation has his subordinates handle the courtroom stuff, but Durham apparently wanted to throw his hissy fit in the courtroom for the world to see.
	So what this case actually is about, like the nuts and bolts of the charges against Danchenko, is that he is... Durham is claiming that he's lying about the fact that he talked to a guy named Sergei Millian.
	M-I-L-L-I-A-N.
	I don't know exactly how to say that last name.
	But anyway, Sergei Denchenko said, oh yeah, I talked to Sergei, he gave me some information for the Steele dossier, I passed that along, this, that, and the other thing.
	And Durham's whole argument is, no you didn't, you have no records of that conversation with Sergei, and now I've got you cold and lying to the FBI about it!
	And...
	The best part about this is that Christopher Steele, the guy who made the dossier, is not going to testify.
	Sergey is not going to testify, and basically told Durham, fuck you, buddy, you're never putting me on that stand.
	I will never comply with you.
	And the first witness that Durham called, so this is Durham's witness, and someone said that Durham has six witnesses for this thing.
	So his first witness gets up on the stand, and in cross-examination, that witness was like, Yeah, Denchenko thought he talked to Sergei.
	He wasn't totally confident it was Sergei, but he was pretty confident it was, and we thought that was pretty reasonable.
	So, yeah.
	So, and, like, Durham's, like, smoking gun was like, there's no phone records of you talking to Sergei.
	And people are like, yo, there's, like, Signal, there's WhatsApp, there's a million ways to place a call without a phone record of it showing up on your phone.
	And the FBI agent who was testifying was like, oh yeah, when I talked to him, I think he mentioned apps.
	So this whole case hinges on Durham having rock solid evidence that Denchenko did not talk to Sergei and lied about that to the FBI.
	And the first FBI agent's like, eh, when he said that, he was kind of ambivalent about if he did it or he didn't do it.
	And we took him at his word because he seemed like a pretty honest guy.
	Real stand-up guy.
	Yeah, real stand-up guy.
	We trusted him.
	This is why we have to defund the FBI.
	Why should I, the average person, trust this trained FBI agent to have a proper read on whether or not somebody is trustworthy when they're speaking to them?
	They can be saying anything, Mike!
	Fucking anything, yeah.
	Yeah, so basically, this whole thing, we're one witness in.
	We may have had the second witness today, but the whole point of this shit is just headlines for Fox News and the right-wing media.
	That same guy that gave that testimony under cross-examination about, hey, he probably talked to this guy, but again, he never said 100% that he did.
	That guy, when he was under direct examination from Durham, he mentioned something to the effect of like, yeah, we offered Christopher Steele like a million dollars to verify some evidence in the Steele dossier and he couldn't do it.
	And that was all over Fox News, like, million dollar bounty offer, Durham, like, getting to the bottom of the corruption, blah blah blah.
	And it's like, that's not the case.
	This is not the trial.
	The trial is about literally these specific lies that involve these two specific guys, and Neither the guy that was reported to Christopher Steele, nor the guy who allegedly had the conversation happen, neither one of them are going to testify.
	And Danchenko is probably not going to testify either, because this case is so flimsy and shitty and weak, there's no reason for him to get on the stand and risk, like, getting tripped up by something Durham says to him.
	So, this is gonna go on for two weeks, and then Denchango's gonna get acquitted, and QAnon and the right wing are gonna scream about the two tiers of justice, and how this is bullshit, and these corrupt juries will let anybody walk, and blah blah blah.
	But, it's a joke.
	I mean, it's just, it's ridiculous.
	It's absolutely nonsensical.
	Meanwhile, the January 6th Committee has had to erect an actual old-timey three-ring circus and parade out an unlimited amount of evidence before even daring to subpoena the clearly, by all accounts, very guilty Donald Trump.
	Yes, absolutely.
	It's great.
	that I mean dude if you ever get an opportunity to take that feat that just makes you immune to
	hypocrisy like it severely reduces your charisma almost across the board but there are areas where
	it doesn't and you can just paddle around with those people and meanwhile you don't have to
	deal with being a hypocrite anymore so you can just say one thing and they do the opposite so
	yes absolutely it's great it works real good it's a strong perk
	You really have to make it work for you.
	Yes.
	You pretty much have to be a Republican, but that's where all the hot babes are, bro.
	Damn right.
	Anyway, we're running a little long in the news segment, so this is normally where we would do our Russia roundup.
	I'm sure that the Russia-Ukraine stuff is still going to be here next week, so let's just talk about it next week and instead get to our scintillating mailbag.
	Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
	It's time for Q and A.
	Reverend Xenofact asks, if you were to build a killdozer to protect Australia from Ron, what would you name it?
	Oh man, that's a good one.
	Ray.
	Ray Ayanami.
	I was going to say the heart of Ray Ayanami and make him... Ava Unit One.
	Yeah, make him actually destroy that which he cherishes the most.
	That was...
	My first instinct was to say Thrilldozer, because it seems like the only thing that can defeat a Killdozer is a Thrilldozer.
	That's a good one.
	But if we don't want to go for a rhyme scheme thing, because this is taking place in the Australian Outback, by which I mean the Sydney Opera House, because Australia is all one place, I think it would be really funny if it was called In Defense of America.
	That would be properly ironic.
	Also, it's funnier to me that it will be to everybody else.
	That's a pretty weak punchline.
	I spent a lot of time in my wasted years smoking from a huge marijuana hookah called In Defense of America, and that has informed a lot of my life decisions going forward.
	The other thing I could see naming it is Charisma, because that would just drive Ron Rock and receive it from any vehicle and be like, No!
	My great nemesis!
	And just veer wildly away from it, because he can't be within fucking 100 miles of any charisma, because the man, oh my god.
	Q-Prime.
	Q-Prime.
	Well, I've got the envelope here, guys, and unfortunately we were all wrong.
	It turned out that after the voting closed, Dozy McDozeface won.
	Big shout out to Dozie McDozeface, our champion, who will defend America, and Australia, I guess, from the rampaging killdozer of Ron Watkins when he unleashes it in the Australian Outback slash at the Sydney Opera House, same place.
	Yes!
	Cleodora Silvestri asks, can you explain why Turboteen is the greatest 80s cartoon show nobody ever talks about?
	Honestly, I feel like Turbo Teen lives on only in people talking about it.
	Because you know who hasn't seen a full episode of Turbo Teen?
	Me!
	I've seen a full episode of that show.
	Are you out of your trees?
	Well, okay, I think I may have, but it was before I could, like, form long-term memory.
	It was so long ago.
	I would only remember the broad strokes.
	Kid gets hot, turns into car, get water splashed, turn into boy, right?
	That's how it works?
	Something like that.
	I've seen full episodes.
	It's only, like, they only made, like, 10 or 14 episodes.
	It is a very small run, especially for back then.
	And then the Japanese adapted it, but they were just like, hey, what if instead of turning
	into a car, he turns into like a girl from a boy?
	And they were like, oh, that's way better.
	That sounds like a much easier concept to write stories around than somebody
	who's like the Incredible Hulk, only instead of angry, it's warm, and instead of Hulk, it's car.
	Don't make me warm. You won't like me when I'm warm, parentheses, because I turned into a car.
	That would be a way to get the job done if you were just in a cramped room with somebody and they were giving you the business.
	You're like, oh, my temperature's rising.
	And then you just turn into a car and explode their body.
	It's so humid here.
	Oh, no.
	You fool.
	What you did remember is that we're fighting in Florida.
	He's always just parked car.
	Fatalitine.
	There we go.
	Yes.
	How do you like that?
	Oh, that's great.
	Yeah, I'm not sure.
	I feel like, I feel like Termitine is, like, properly estimated and therefore, uh, like, yeah.
	I mean, honestly, my position on the matter is I'm pretty sure Termitine lives on only in conversation.
	Where he belongs.
	Which is great!
	That happens to all of us once we die.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Let's talk about real shit!
	The segment is back!
	Elegant and bleak on us here in the mailbag.
	Thank you for the question.
	MeBad asks, when will we see a conspiracy like the elites want global warming to continue so it's more comfortable for our reptilian overlords?
	BAM!
	Reverse UNO card!
	I feel like that kind of already exists.
	And if it doesn't, that would be a dynamite pitch for that thing that Mike and I talked about that one time that I shouldn't be speaking about on the podcast.
	The idea is so good that we don't want it stolen.
	Well, I should say that at one point, the idea was to potentially need to pitch somebody a fake conspiracy theory to make real.
	And that seems like a dynamite one.
	Yes.
	I think that's the plan.
	That's a good idea.
	That has to be a movie or something already.
	I feel like I've seen that somewhere.
	I mean, maybe.
	But if so, like, dude, what are you Googling me?
	That says more about you than us.
	Yeah.
	It's like, yeah, I've seen that.
	It's like, OK, I'll call.
	I'll call you there.
	Where have you seen it exactly?
	I don't know.
	I can't.
	I feel like it's like a Doctor Who episode or something.
	That would be great.
	And it would explain why I don't know it.
	Yes.
	We've never, I mean, we've gone over a bunch of things that Elle's not a fan of, but the Doctor Who hatred, we've never tapped that vein for delicious podcasting content from Elle.
	So maybe one dark day when Trump isn't doing anything particularly insane, we might be like, yay, so, Doctor Who, and then just let the good times roll.
	Yeah, I mean, of all the things I dislike, that one I'm not sure.
	I mean, my biggest problem with it is that My dislike of the show is pretty boring and I don't think worth making content for.
	So just like Doctor Who itself, boom, roasted, nailed it.
	I also watched a couple full episodes of me.
	I did.
	One of them had a Stormzy song in it and I was very excited.
	It was easily the most exciting thing to happen to Doctor Who since that Angel episode where the Doctor is just not in it.
	Yeah.
	Yep, that's the only full episode of Doctor Who I've ever watched, and I thought it was very good.
	That, like, accidental Outer Limits episode that sort of snuck its way out of the Doctor Who set where there wasn't some, like, weird Brit in a scarf just sort of, like, prancing about, like, just being like, Ah!
	You know what will probably solve this problem and every problem?
	My Sonic screwdriver!
	Thanks, Doc.
	Anyway, no, how did we start?
	Mike, you talked this into existence.
	How dare you?
	That's me.
	I'm the worst.
	So, yeah, I would think it's very interesting, the idea of the conspiracy theory for good.
	And the problem is that these people are so hidebound and All these conspiracy theories are for them as confirmation bias.
	So if you came up with, like, the global warming is actually a deep state plot thing, they would just be like, no, you're lying, because we love global warming, because we know the libs actually hate global warming, so we have to be pro global warming.
	Also, that working would assume that at the very least, the people that are conspiracy theory minded in that way are ambivalent towards, if not actively working towards, the goal of doing good.
	And that the second they realize that their conspiracy theory was doing good, they wouldn't just drop it for that reason alone.
	And I'm not sure that we can make that a subject.
	I feel like a lot of people would just be like, oh, what?
	Like, what's going on?
	Like, this is actually like, yo, we caught wind of this and it seems like the libs sort of like this.
	So I don't want nothing to do with this.
	This sucks.
	They're saying that this is like allowing crops to grow properly and like preventing like soil erosion.
	That sounds fucked up.
	I don't want any part of that.
	Nope.
	Where's the part where I know that more money is getting into a Caucasian straight man's That is what I need to know.
	Yeah, that one's hard to track down.
	Quick, somebody check Donald Trump's pockets right now.
	How are the king's pockets?
	Is he still flush with geish?
	So thank you for the question.
	DR initially asks, how many evil urges can you blame on playing D&D?
	All of them except for the sexual ones.
	Boom.
	Roasted.
	Take that, me.
	uh i mean uh do i have any uh i mean like there are a bunch of joke answers are there any real answers though let's talk about real shit it's back i don't actually know uh do i like yeah i i feel like it i'm not sure it's sort of like a uh chicken egg situation because i have I've been roasted by my co-workers at retail jobs I previously had of having my accent change to match the person I'm talking with.
	Like, not over the top, not like a caricature, but just sort of acclimating to the low end of it.
	And my co-workers would always bust my chops over that shit.
	They'd be like, dude, you talk to customers all fucking funny.
	And I was like, what?
	Because I don't know I'm doing it.
	So, I don't know, did I get that from playing D&D?
	Or has that helped my de-ebbing?
	Because I just have these weird, like, 10% accents queued up for an assortment of NPCs.
	I don't know, man.
	But there is a correlation there somewhere.
	Either my bad habit is fueling a good D&D, or my good D&D is fueling a bad habit.
	No, that would melt my brain if people were telling me, yeah, you talk different when you talk to certain people because this is a thing you're doing.
	I'd just be like, wow, really?
	I am?
	Oh man, that's wild.
	I had no idea.
	My mind would be absolutely blown.
	Yeah, like for instance right then, I sounded like a dog barking.
	Exactly!
	Yeah, it's amazing.
	I know.
	I've never heard anything like it.
	Sometimes I can really dial in when I get there.
	I mean, it goes from like 10% to like 1,000%.
	It's like Mob Psycho.
	I just like flip out.
	It's wild.
	Tim's just full of references today.
	Guys, do I ever make this many pop culture references on the podcast?
	No, it's pretty rare.
	I haven't played D&D in a dog's age.
	I think that my gaming is more playing hidden information games, like Werewolf or Secret Hitler and stuff like that.
	I think that can kind of put you in a spot where you get more adept at lying, which I don't know is a great trait to have, but at the same time, social deduction games, they're good for reading people, like poker and stuff like that, but it's kind of a thing where you have to remind yourself there's a time and a place for that kind of frivolity.
	Maybe not try to just screw with people by being like, hey, maybe I can get one over on this guy by telling him something that ain't true, because that'd be weird.
	But beyond that, I really don't know what sort of bad impulses could possibly be fostered by my gamery, other than crippling sedentarism by just sitting in front of a computer all day, which is definitely no bueno.
	And Sarge, generally not a D&D gamer.
	Has played, but not in it to win it like I am, and not formally in it to win it like Mike was.
	No, I just buy books that I read and I don't play.
	That's cool.
	Like, of the two things that I engage with that Wizards of the Coast produces, I'm glad that you're supporting that one.
	Because magic is a dumpster fire.
	Yeah, it is.
	Still play it.
	And finally, Pancake Peasant asks, what is the most insane QAnon take you have heard or seen about the war in Ukraine?
	My favorite weird, insane take on the war in Ukraine is that there is no war in Ukraine.
	There are no war troopers.
	Vladimir Putin's stance on the matter.
	Bold.
	Yeah, well Vladimir Putin's stance is that it's a special military operation and these people would also tell you there is no special military operation but like there are people who are posting stuff on the internet like we have all these cameras and everyone's got a flip phone that can record stuff why aren't we getting like Like frontline combat footage where guys are just like firing like AK-47s at each other and mortars are blowing up and everyone's getting torn to pieces like I don't see any of that and I know it should be out there so like the theory is basically that there is no war and that like all this money going into Ukraine is just a giant
	Money laundering operation and that nobody's actually buying any military hardware to repel the Russians.
	So what happens if you show these people any of the thousands of videos of the front lines where Ukrainians are using like military hardware to like blow up tanks and stuff?
	Because I've seen literally dozens of those and I spend a shockingly small amount of time on Twitter.
	But it's just like, hey, you want to watch this guy blow up this thing with a RPG?
	It's like, yeah, OK.
	Is he Ukrainian and defending his country from a Russian invader?
	Then fuck yeah, I'll watch him blow that tank up with an RPG.
	Oh my god, it looks so cool.
	Like, hey, you want to watch this Ukrainian drone blow up this van full of guys?
	And I'm just like, oh, this guy's Russian?
	Are they invading their country?
	Then yeah, fuck yeah, I'll watch that video.
	Let's do it.
	Oh, they'll say stuff like that's videos from the invasion in 2014, deepfake, all that kind of stuff.
	I think I posted it to our group chat, the video of the Russian tank just literally driving over landmines that are naked on a road and just blowing itself up, just literally suiciding itself.
	I watched a truck full of explosives blow up a gigantic bridge just like three days ago.
	Yes.
	From so many different angles that one of them may show a secret underwater drone.
	Dude, the videos are like constant and everywhere if you want to see them.
	But it's just the Tucker Carlson thing.
	I would try.
	I sent my people to find QAnon.
	They couldn't find a goddamn thing.
	Right.
	I sent my people to find activity of the war.
	Ukraine couldn't do it.
	There is no war.
	Yeah, so I think that's my favorite QAnon conspiracy theory about Ukraine.
	is that there's actually no war.
	None of this is actually happening.
	It's just some weird... The problem with the theory is that you have to make Putin a bad guy because Putin has to be in on it to rake in all those bucks for this fake war.
	It's not a huge mainstream QAnon thing.
	The mainstream stuff is more the Ukrainian biolab shit and that Ukraine is the very beating heart of deep state corruption and evil and that Vladimir Putin is saving the world by conquering them.
	Is confusing because he's losing and getting his ass kicked, which means the Deep State's winning.
	So they have to kind of ignore that.
	Not doing well.
	No.
	Yeah, so that's that's about it.
	That's like those are the main conspiracy theories for ye olde war in Ukraine.
	Gonna be hard to top those.
	But not for ye's war.
	Ye's war is a different one.
	Ye's war is a very personal war.
	Yes.
	And that brings us to our question enumerous, which is what are you guys looking forward to?
	I mean, last week I said Chainsaw Man.
	This week I'm gonna do a twofer.
	The new season of anime has a bunch of seeming bangers with really good animation and I've started playing an old video game, Endless Space 2, and it turns out it's pretty fun.
	To make up for Sarge doing two, I'm only gonna do half and I'm gonna make it quick.
	I'm looking forward to playing D&D, which I'm doing literally the instant I'm done recording this podcast.
	Nice.
	And I'm looking forward to hopefully making the next tier level in Storybook Brawl, because I'm at like 2,400, and I'm hoping to make 2,500 to climb the ladder that much closer to becoming a Storybook Brawl god.
	Good fucking luck.
	It has been...
	I hit 1,500 and progress didn't halt, but it slowed down dramatically.
	Oh, I've floored 2,000 more times than I can count.
	I've made it to 22, 23, bam, stoned back to 2,000 and started to climb again, dum-dum.
	So yeah.
	I just have a good fun time and don't care about the ladder.
	Yes.
