Thanks for watching.
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.
Pogron Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
This week, I am joined, as always, by Haley, a.k.a.
Arizona Right Watch.
Um, hello, listeners.
I am definitely not having technical difficulties today, and it will not continue into the podcast, so it's going to go smoothly.
Hello.
And the mysterious L. Meh!
Hello, my beautiful babies!
Meh!
What is that?
Old timey gangster L!
Meh!
Have you been listening to your JFK podcast?
Have you guys been doing old-timey gangster shit on the JFK podcast?
We have not descended into stereotypical voices, but... When you do that, you have to act like you've got a little cigar in your fingers.
It makes it come out so much better.
It's like a kiai shout.
But for listeners who haven't been listening, the mob did kill JFK, so that's where we're at now.
We're mostly joking about the fact that Rob Reiner declared that a man known as Chucky the typewriter was involved in the murder of President Kennedy.
And that name has been just so dumb and hilarious to me that I just can't get over it.
Well, I'm assuming it's on account of him shooting people with a tommy gun.
Probably.
Also known as a circus-to-go typewriter.
Dude, I'm up with this shit.
You think I'm just doing a voice over here?
I got knowledge.
Actually, no, straight up, the whole reason I'm doing that stupid voice is because one of the podcasts I was talking to was talking about Warner Brothers, and that got me thinking about Bugs Bunny.
Is that your Bugs Bunny voice?
Well, no, but Bugs Bunny is based on, what was his name, Bugsy Malone or whatever?
The voice that Mel Blanc was doing.
Bugsy Seagull, could be.
Bugsy Seagull, yeah, whatever.
Is Bugsy Malone like a basketball player?
Bugsy's something.
Some old-timey Bugsy gangster.
Let's look it up.
It's just like, meh!
And so, apparently that informed Mel Blanc's characterization of that character.
According to what I've heard, which, it was the internet, so that could just be fucking complete make-em-up.
It's lies, the internet's filled with lies.
I was like, oh, maybe that is why Bugs Bunny sounds a way.
I was talking to somebody about how ridiculous so much like stuff for men's clothing is and is because it's tactical and all that kind of stuff like tactical like windbreaker.
I was like, oh my God.
I was watching commercials while I was at work, and they have a driver for golf, like a golf club that's a driver, and it was called the Black Ops Driver.
I'm like, what, really?
I'm going to take this golf club on a mission to assassinate someone?
It's the Black Ops Golf Club?
Finally, a black driver on a golf course.
You know, folks.
Yes.
Yikes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So stay on target.
That wasn't even the trademark Sarge throats L for a racism bit.
No, so you know, sometimes the throat of racism bit is it was within us the whole time.
Who is this gangster that you claim Bugs Bunny is based off of?
Bugsy something.
Bugsy?
I think you're I think you're just reading it wrong.
I mean, that might also be the case.
That's that is certainly true.
But it's not impossible.
I mean, maybe it is, you know.
Also, your research is mad sus.
You were going on and on about how many days of Christmas there were.
There's one.
It's called Christmas.
Oh my fucking god, we're not getting into this again.
Sorry, there's like one and a half.
Christmas Eve is like kinda there too.
No, there is.
There's actually 40 days of Christmas.
Yes, that is fucking- that is certainly not true.
It is!
There is!
Look it up!
It's like Wikipedia says so.
It's fucking absolutely mad fake.
Oh my god.
I had this troll idiot arguing with me and he posted a meme about why the Obamas gave up their lawyer licenses and the meme included a thing that Obama was going to be charged for lying on his bar application.
And Michelle was going to be charged with insurance fraud, and that's why they gave up their licenses.
And I was like, do you have any evidence of that?
And then the guy didn't reply to me for like 15 minutes.
And then he came back to me.
And when he came back to me, he was like, here's what you're trying to do.
And he did the proof of evidence fallacy, where he was claiming that the burden of proof was on me, not him, to prove his allegations.
And I was like, you do understand you're literally doing the opposite.
Like, what you're saying is literally what you're doing.
You're the fallacy.
And I was like, no, I'm not.
I'm like, OK, you don't even understand how words work.
This is this is really bad.
This is shameful.
OK, I'm just going to read this real quick because I will not be called a liar.
No, you're Candlemas.
For the record, whatever you read will not change that.
You are going to be called a liar.
Candlemas falls on February 2nd, and it's traditionally the 40th day and the conclusion of the Christmas epiphany season.
I'm not a liar.
Yeah, according to the internet.
Which, again, apparently my buddy based on Bugsy Malone or whatever, Bugsy Siegel guy, apparently that's too far afield because I read it on the internet.
No, it comes from a 1910 book called The Practical Commentary on the Holy Scripture for those who teach Bible history.
You want a practical commentary on the Holy Scripture?
Can you imagine how appalled Jesus would be?
If people told him that they were just young, we're going to celebrate your birthday for 40 days.
Like, not just 1, not 2, not 12, 40.
40 of them.
He'd be like, meh.
I don't want to do that, Steve.
If I looked up things on the internet... I don't have much feet.
Meh.
That's my thing.
Feet, you know?
Happy Pisces season, everybody.
If I looked up the internet in 1910, they would tell me the Earth was still flat.
That would be a thing that would have happened back then.
I mean, you can look up the internet now and you'll find people saying that.
Oh, I'm well aware.
People love flat Earths.
I love my flurfs.
Shout out Team Flurf.
You're truly the greatest.
Keep doing what you're doing.
It's very bad and actually destructive to your brains.
So stop, actually.
Somebody in one of the rare online communities I was in was musing about conspiracy theories and just posed the question what everybody's favorite one was.
And I said Flat Earth because, again, to what end?
You know?
We've got millions of people on board, and it's just like, why?
What is big round Earth offering us that the conspiracy needs to be so vast?
How flat is it?
How much money is there invested in our Earth being round that it would destroy us to know it were flat?
If it was just like, oh shit, they've been lying to us the whole time about the Earth, it was flat.
And it's just like, bro, the economy is destroyed.
Welcome to the Canadian wasteland.
You had no idea.
Yeah, oh man, uh... Now that you know that you can just walk a straight line or whatever to Antarctica, you're fucked, dude.
Those penguins are coming for you.
We've all seen Batman Returns.
They're up to no good.
Oh god!
That is so bizarre that Batman Returns reference happened.
Because a couple days ago, I was reading something about how there were all these extras who had their penguins on strings for a scene.
And after every scene, someone would be like, hey, one of those penguins didn't move.
Who's on that penguin?
Who's on penguin four?
And eventually they figured out there was actually a live penguin amidst all the prop penguins.
And that was the penguin that wasn't moving.
During the scene, because it was just a real penguin, and it just wasn't following cues.
Bro, see?
And this is why we support our AI future.
Like, the living penguin was just not giving us what we needed.
All the fake penguins doing a bang-up job.
Yes.
I'm just saying.
Yes.
You dial in the fake penguins to get exactly what you want out of them, and you don't have to worry about whatever the fuck they're feeling or thinking or wanting to do.
It seems a bit more ethical in that sense, too, right?
Yes.
Because, like, you're not exploiting a penguin.
A real penguin.
Well, as somebody who is pro-AI, I don't care about ethics.
Uh, fuck you, and fuck your ethics, and I'll hear nothing more from you.
It's time for me to jump in my Cybertruck and drive away from this conversation.
I saw a report, I have no idea... Apple Vision Pro, activate!
Again, I have no idea how true this is, but I just saw a report and it said all Cybertrucks are starting to rust already and that it's very possible that within like five years all Cybertrucks will be completely useless because they're so rusty they'll just like fall apart immediately and I was like, really?
I can't imagine that Elon's rock solid engineering would ever go horribly wrong like that.
There's no way his poorly hexagonally based vehicle could be a disaster.
I looked it up and and and the Cybertrucks engineer is claiming they are
not rusting which definitely means they are.
I saw it in the wild.
You're all busted on him right now, but Elon's going to look like a real genius in 15, 20 years when they make that stupid Back to the Future reboot I've been talking about, and it's going to be a Cybertruck that time.
Yes.
They're going to be like, didn't somebody make another big dub failure that looked really stupid at the time that we could probably gussy up with some movie magic and make like a kitschy, nostalgic bait, like fucking like worm on a big hook to sell merch?
Someone needs to paint their Cybertruck.
To look like the Simpsons episode that Danny DeVito was in where he played Homer's brother and they made that truck.
Yes.
Homer made the truck.
Right.
The Homer.
But the problem is that that thing is covered in curves.
Curves that the Cybertruck couldn't possibly imagine.
Like it's got a big dome on the top of it and it looks like a fuckin' Jetsons wacky future car or whatever.
Like that looks like some lunatic, like if some lunatic was to propose a car for the future in like the 1950s, it might look like that.
But Elon Musk thinks cyberpunk is really cool.
And he was like, what if I made a truck that looked like it was on the PlayStation 1?
I mean, you've got enough billions of dollars to do that.
He was like, yeah, make it happen.
And like, I want it to be silver and all metal.
It's just like, but they don't do that for Christ's sake.
No! I want it!
Meeh!
Meeh! See? I want it!
Oh my god.
Oh god.
Everybody is that dumb voice now.
I was going to say, is everybody this guy?
Yes.
That's it.
Wait until we get to our Trump segment.
Yes.
Trump is also a 1930s crime boss, absolutely.
Okay, that's enough stupid goofing with that dub voice, at least for now.
I'll bring it back later and it'll be a real hoot.
Anyway, instead, let's go into our amuse-bouche.
It's time for a light sampling of insanity.
Get ready for the amuse-bouche.
Okay, so this isn't the first thing I've written down, but unfortunately I was told by one of my rat-fuck-fink colleagues that we have to talk about this horrible Kansas City shooting.
Yeah.
I was trying to avoid it.
I was trying to not have to talk about it, but apparently we do.
It's not me.
Yeah, it wasn't Haley, it was Mike.
Mike is the rat-fuck-fink.
I'm not the rat-fuck-fink.
I'm the rat-fuck-fink, and I acknowledge and accept that, yes.
Okay, well, all right.
Fink it up there, fuck fuck.
Okay, so two juveniles were arrested last week in relation to the shooting and we basically have like breaking news over the last like few hours or I mean it maybe happened last night that adults have been arrested but they haven't been identified either but when these two juveniles were arrested Kyle Rittenhouse, a favorite of the podcast, jumped on his soapbox and was all like, when I got charged for shooting up those people, my name was everywhere.
Why are they hiding these guys' names?
And immediately this created a swirling maelstrom of racism and transphobia and all these people claiming that the identities of these juveniles were being kept under wraps as a result of Like the Deep State wanting to protect their identities.
And then people pointed out, hey Kyle, you actually gave an interview after the shootings explaining what you did.
And you gave your name during that interview.
And that's why that was out there.
Because you put it out there.
Because you wanted to be famous for being a murderer.
So that's how you achieved that.
It wasn't because the Deep State exposed you because you're a cishet white dude.
And they're now covering for people who are not that in the Kansas City shooting.
Great job there.
And then it paid him well enough where he turned into Big Boi from Big Boi Brothers.
Yes, exactly!
And don't get me wrong, I'm a big fat guy myself, but I also have rosy apple cheeks and a fucking manicured product coif with a nice big fucking cowlick at the front of it or whatever.
He's looking like Big Boi.
It was almost intentional, anyway.
Oh yeah, he was going for that, apparently.
And while that was going on, Representative Tim Burchett decided that he was going to... What was that last name?
Burchett, I do believe.
B-U-R-C-H-E-T-T.
Burchett.
That's a good name.
He posted a photo of a guy, a person of color, who was, like, appeared to be handcuffed during the incident, and he made statements of, oh, he said, the caption was, one of the Kansas City Chiefs' Victory Parade shooters has been identified as an illegal alien.
And people reached out and found out that that guy is not an illegal alien, he's just an American citizen, and that Tim Bergeron's a giant piece of shit.
And it took two days, I believe, but Burchett has finally deleted the tweet after smearing this person.
Nice.
Yeah.
So here's to hoping that that guy has lawyers knocking down his door to go after Burchett for falsely identifying him as a shooter and as an illegal immigrant, thusly trying to gin up all kinds of xenophobia and racism against them.
So, yes, right-wing nutjobs, when you're not screaming false flag and MKUltra and all the rest of it, you still find more and more awful ways to beclown yourselves when these events happen.
So, good job, all involved.
You're the worst.
The absolute worst.
It's cool that everybody's real responsible with their platform.
Yes.
Dude, everybody loves using their platform exclusively for good, including us.
We've never said anything controversial or expressed a willingness to sell out even once.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Never, not once.
Let's move on in Boosh World to talk about our favorite thing to talk about on the podcast when we're not talking about earthquake machines and such, mules.
And apparently, the continued lack of mules, which is unfortunate. I mean, one of these days,
the headlines are going to be like, dude, the mules, they're here, we found them. But as of yet,
I believe we're still on team no mule. For more of this, I'll toss it over to Mike, of course. Mike,
what's going on with mule news for the week? So a Georgia judge finally put the test to
truth of vote and said, yo, you've been denying giving your evidence to the Secretary of State,
to Georgia State Congress, everybody else. It's It's now put up or shut up time.
We need your evidence of the voter fraud that led Dinesh D'Souza to make his terrible bullshit fake movie.
And true to vote, when they finally were told to do this, they said, no, we actually don't have any evidence.
We have nothing to present to you.
We have no documents, we have no names, we have nothing.
We literally have nothing to give you.
The group's attorney, the direct quote was, True The Vote has no such documents in its possession,
custody, or control.
So they just finally were called out in a court of law to present their case and said,
we don't have one.
So congratulations to everyone who fell for that movie and their grift and everything else.
Um, but.
This is about as definitive as it'll get.
They're just like, you know, we don't have anything.
We got nothing for you, and it's over.
Well, yeah, only because the Deep State's keeping him down, you know?
Yes!
That's why they're killing Rick.
When the truth comes out, you'll all feel real dumb.
You're gonna feel so dumb.
That was great.
Yeah, Greg hasn't brought up his health recently.
I mean, it was a few months ago that he made some rather grim comments about his cancer and that, like, He's going to trust in the Lord and all that kind of stuff.
But yeah, he hasn't brought up anything about his health recently, which is
interesting, because that's been a big part of his like back story is that he was
poisoned by the deep state in Haiti or some such nonsense.
So he lives to tell another lie.
Oh, yeah.
But yeah, so I guess that's right.
I guess the deep state got to him or Catherine or both and made them
claim we don't have any actual information to back up the all the nonsense we put
into that stupid movie of ours.
And this also led some QAnon promoters to get very upset with them.
And now there are QAnon promoters that are worried that their little meet and greet that they had in Arizona, The Pit, The pit?
I love the pit.
Now some QAnon promoters are worried that the pit was actually a deep state op to help dox all of them, and that Catherine and Greg were working for nefarious purposes.
This is mostly because one of Catherine and Greg's little pals was the Authority, and the Authority is now one of the big anti-Flynn guys, and he hates most QAnon promoters now, so that whole intersection of people is leading people to be like, Oh man, I think Catherine and Greg may have set us up.
This whole thing smells of the Deep State.
So yeah, it's going great.
Everything's going perfect for those people.
Big thumbs up to everyone involved.
Again, just rock solid.
Excellent OPSEC by everybody.
Awakened Outlaw, who was there, is now being yelled at by his first name.
A lot of people are calling him Joel in QAnon now.
Is that his real name?
Apparently.
Apparently that is his government first name.
Does he have a last name?
No one's hit him with that yet, but I have seen the people that are having this little spat, this little fight between each other.
They like to throw the Joel in at the end of a lot of their tweets now to let him know.
It's kind of like a threat?
Yeah.
It's like, we know who you are.
Yeah.
It's funny.
It's like, oh, that's really interesting, Joel.
Just like, bam, bam.
So it's like, oh, man.
We had a kid in our seventh grade class that would act up frequently, and he would always needle our teacher by calling her by her first name.
Yeah, he would be acting up, and she'd just be like, go to the office, and he'd be like, alright, Connie!
I'm sure his home life was great.
I'm sure it was quite good.
I had a workshop teacher and his name was Jim Bond.
And if you dare called him James Bond, he would just like basically kill you.
He's like, my name is Jim.
My name is Jim.
He was just was not having that.
He should lean in.
Show me your motherfucking license, motherfucker.
We'll see whose name is Jim.
Settle this debate right the fuck now in front of everybody.
Show me your license.
Here we go.
The best part about that would be it'd be awesome if he did legally change his name to Jim, but just didn't change the whole Bonds thing, because he just let it remain Bond anyways.
He's like, ah, the last name's too much work.
But the first name is Jim.
He's just like, the last name is so sweet.
I want the fallback option to go back to being James Bond again if my life doesn't work out.
Yes.
He could change it to Booned.
Yeah.
you know um i was i was laughing at the fact that it's like the way i
caught myself there made me sound like some sort of weird like horror movie
Okay, enough of that nonsense.
Let's talk about truckers.
Because lord knows America loves truckers and their powerful boycotts have crippled the economy and now we have to do what the truckers say.
Right, Mike?
Yes, yes indeed.
That is exactly what happened.
So, after the massive settlement, the massive fine was put against Trump, we had a bunch of right-wing blowhards and truckers claiming that if New York's going to fine Trump trillions and millions of dollars, we're not going to go to New York anymore.
We're going to stop trucking for them.
And this led to one guy, I believe his name was Ray Chicago, and he was all just like, we ain't doing this, this is all bullshit, we ain't going there.
And then today, the Great Trucker Boycott of 2024 of New York has come and gone.
And, uh, our boy, uh, said, look, man, I was just like speaking my mind.
I was just telling people like how I felt about what was going on with Trump.
And it's, it's awful.
But, uh, us truckers, we need to like, you know, you gotta make, you gotta make the, you gotta pay the rent.
You gotta take care of things.
You gotta help yourself.
So, uh, That guy backed down right quick after talking way too much shit about how they were going to bring New York to its knees.
Also a part of this massive New York boycott was Dilbert creator and resident internet moron Scott Adams declaring that he was, I'm not going to New York ever again!
No more business trips!
I was like, oh no.
Oh no, Dilbert.
Dude, what are they going to do without the Dilbert business in New York?
They're going to be closing down the fucking Disney Store that's in Times Square in no time.
Yeah, it's all over.
It's all over.
They're going to be hanging signs that say closed due to lack of Dilbert.
Yes!
Yeah, so this, much like the convoy that went to the border and didn't do anything, and the Canadian truckers and all the rest of it, this one didn't even get off the ground.
This actually didn't even happen because no one was planning to do anything.
Too many people make way too much money trucking into and out of New York to try to cut New York out of their lives in an effort to punish New York for holding Trump accountable for his crimes, which, I mean, is such a heartbreaking thing to think of.
So yeah, this was the most Chicago Ray that was the name of our boy who?
He sounds a little something like this.
No, it's not the time yet.
It'll come back later.
Now is not the time.
That was just a tease.
It was a red herring.
Someone posted a tweet of his where he's like, we will not bend.
We will not break.
We will not yield.
We will not give up or back down and surrender.
And they just cross out all the will nots and just replace them with check marks saying, yes, you will do all of these things.
Sorry, Chicago.
I love that Buddy got out the thesaurus.
He's like, we're not going to back down.
We're not going to surrender.
We're not going to, looks at thesaurus, yield.
We will not defer.
We will not.
Backpedal!
Something, I don't know, anything, yeah.
So yeah, great job there, Chicago Ray.
You really did it.
You really toppled the deep state with your whiny tweets and then immediate backing down from said whining tweets about killing off the Big Apple with your massive protest, boycott, annihilation, blockade, whatever.
I was trying to use the thesaurus too, but I failed.
I'm not as good at thesaurusizing as Ray Chicago is.
Hell no.
Although I do like his impulse to finally end the pizza wars by just killing New York City.
Kill them with a truck or convoy.
The debate will be over.
Yes.
It's like, aww, Chicago buddy, the debate's already over.
You just gave one of those little soft punches to the chin.
Like, you knucklehead.
Because Chicago pizza isn't even pizza.
It's like some sort of abomination.
It's an actual act against God.
I've never had it in Chicago, and once I have it, I'm sure that I'm going to be delighted by it.
But, I mean, they really blur the line between a pizza and a casserole, you know?
Yes!
They're getting jazzed with it.
All righty, that means that it's time for our weekly touch basing, which is what I was going to say before I caught myself, that I was just like, why catch yourself?
Say touch basing.
It's time for our weekly touch basing in our greatest state in these United States, Arizona, with our greatest correspondent, boots on the ground in that place, Hayley.
AKA Arizona Right Watch.
Yes, it's you, and it's your time to shine.
By which I mean bring the rune down By talking about your crummy state.
No?
The uplifting story about your crummy state?
I mean it's not.
Exactly.
What's that?
Arizona enshrined the right to an abortion and gender-affirming care under their constitution?
Fucking crazy!
Oh my god, the woman is Haley!
You know what?
One of those things might actually happen this upcoming election, so hold your tongue.
Aw, Haley, lots of things might happen.
Let me, bring your chin over here, let me give you another one of those, just like Chicago.
Abortion in the Arizona constitution.
Ah, you knucklehead, that's so funny.
Go to AZ Abortion Access.
Come here, let me give you a doogie.
You guys were always joking.
No, but for real, that's a real thing.
That's actually possible.
Good luck, guys.
Is it a ballot question yet?
Yes or no?
No, they're gathering the signatures to be on the ballot, but they're way overshooting how many signatures they're going to need.
Yeah, I knew that.
OK, but anyways.
They're currently collecting their spirit bomb energy like Goku.
Yes.
They really are.
The team is good.
The team is good.
Yes.
Arizona Institute of Science.
All right.
So enough.
OK, well, the shortest Arizona segment ever.
No, yeah, that was it.
It was actually an uplifting segment.
So anyway, this weekend.
Yeah, this weekend.
Now, this is the 11th year.
There's this annual gun rally.
It usually happens in February.
That happens at the Phoenix State Capitol on the lawn.
And it always gathers a very shady group of folks and then a group of lawmakers.
So this year had Andy Biggs.
He was there last year.
U.S.
Representative Andy Biggs, District 5.
For those of you who don't know, if he's your representative.
I think his challenger this year is going to be a man named Clint Hick.
I think actually Stephanie just told me.
Let's see.
Clint Smith, excuse me.
Anyways.
Anyways, so every year, yeah, there's this Second Amendment rally that happens on the Capitol Lawn.
And this year, it's hosted by this group, it's put on by this group, Riders USA.
It's like a biker group.
They've been described as anti-nativist, which means they're racist as fuck.
So anyway, this is presented as like a normal, like, we love the Second Amendment, the rally.
But there's a lot of shady shit here.
Like the Proud Boys were a sponsor this year.
They were there last year with the booth.
I was there last year and I wrote about how the Proud Boys were there and the organizers got on my ass.
They were like, they were not a sponsor at our event.
They were just there.
But this year they were our sponsors.
They were on the sponsor list.
They were sponsored and handing out.
Little koozies with their logo on it.
Telling you to eat cereal and not jerk off, all that important stuff.
Yeah, telling you who to hate and that also.
Why are they trying to make me choose between cereal and jerking it?
I want to do both.
You know, we won't get into that.
Yeah.
Just know that semen retention is an important part in some right-wing circles.
It's very bizarre.
It really is.
It is a thing.
It is a thing.
I was watching some videos about that, like, last week.
And that is some interesting stuff.
Seems like some severe insult to me.
I don't agree.
You know?
Like, yeah, I'm just retaining it on purpose.
So that way, you know, it's powerful when I need it.
Yeah, exactly.
No.
I mean, you do whatever you want, you know, as far as like that, but I don't think it's, I don't think it's a good idea.
I can't say I would advise it.
No, I can't say that I would.
I'm not a doctor, but I wouldn't advise it.
Okay?
But whatever, you do you.
So anyway, this gun event had also a Sons of Confederate Veterans group.
Their booth was decked out in a Confederate flag all over it.
So not a racist event whatsoever.
Andy Biggs was there.
There was a couple state reps there.
Like a county supervisor?
John Birch Society tabled.
You know, I know you like that, Mike.
Oh, yeah.
Old school racists.
They have a kid section where they sell these kid t-shirts like Tigger holding a gun or Winnie the Pooh holding the gun or Baby Yoda holding a gun or whatever.
And it's hosted by this so-called Second Amendment Friendly School called Tipping Point Academy.
So they have little, you know, you could do the hacky sack thing into little gun decorative things for children.
It's very nice.
Actually, the guy who runs that school, his name is Jeremy Wood, he was bragging at a rally a few years ago, during like a re-open Arizona rally, that he dipped his toe in a QAnon mic.
Of course he did!
That's his gut, founder of a school.
Mm-hmm.
And then, also, okay, so, like, there's a list of, like, sponsors and partners for this event.
One of the, like, the quote-unquote foundational partners was, like, a neo-Nazi, like, griper group.
They're called College Republicans United.
They kind of, like, occasionally intertwine with the traditional AZGOP here.
Occasionally they get in a hot water for like, you know, maybe scheduling a rally with Nick Fuentes and then putting the county GOP on the flyer, possibly without their knowledge, causing controversy here.
And then a bunch of people backing out.
They do this.
They do this.
I've talked about them before.
It's a college group at ASU, but they also extend to other campuses.
They have the Nick Fuentes America First flag on their booth.
They helped design the pamphlet, and they put Jared Taylor on their little special thanks section, who is a white supremacists. So this is cool. Andy Biggs spoke at
this just FYI. So yeah, the gun rally.
The second amendment rally, which is actually a Nazi rally this year, is basically the-
Literally, I mean it always is though. It always is. This always happens. The Proud Boys were there
last year. That confederate group is always there.
This group is honestly always there, too.
This year they were just more involved.
So yeah, it's definitely just a gun rally, not like a far-right fascist event.
So yeah, that happened this weekend.
Wonderful.
Sounds awesome.
Yes.
I mean, that's exactly the sort of activity I would expect to be coming out of Arizona, though.
I'm not gonna lie.
I know.
I'm sorry.
But hey, you surprised myself and probably a lot of our listeners with that slightly uplifting news about the abortion rights stuff.
People should sign it.
Yeah, if you happen to be in Arizona, fight the good fight.
Literally go to any coffee shop and you'll find people collecting signatures for it.
Yeah, and if the signatures aren't enough, there's a gun rally.
Yep, right down the road.
You can raffle a gun.
Yeah, just go buy a gun.
It'll make you feel better.
That's the point.
Everybody loves a gun.
Just go buy a few, actually.
There's no limit to them.
As an American, you can have as many as you want, really.
Go get them.
Second Amendment, baby!
Talk to your local congressman.
Talk to your local hate group.
You can grab something from the Cheese-E-Wagon, which is a cheese...
Food truck?
I've gotten mozzarella sticks there before.
They weren't that good.
That's unfortunate, because, dude, an all-cheese food truck sounds like my jam.
I know.
I knew you'd like that.
Wow.
Wow.
I don't know what that says about me.
You are correct.
Who doesn't like cheese?
Dude, a couple of my weird friends, and they're just like, I'm not a picky eater.
I just don't like cheese or fish or a lot of food.
It's like, you're picky as fuck.
I just, my food trucking experience that I remember being disappointing was the one that actually had grilled pizza.
They had just like an open top, like just charcoal grill and they were putting pizzas on top of it.
And I thought that was going to be like really interesting.
And the pizza was just like mediocre.
It was, it was pedestrian.
And I was like, man, I don't know why I thought grilled pizza would be so incredible, but it didn't, it didn't do much for me.
So.
Nice gimmick.
That doesn't sound good.
Nice gimmick.
You made a sale, but you're not getting any repeat business out of me.
Wow.
Mike's a tough nut to crack when it comes to pizza.
Maybe he should go to Chicago.
Is it time?
No.
No, it's time for our headlines though.
From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Q's in the News.
Whoa, you can't just O-O-K me there.
Were you, were you not done with Arizona stuff?
I was!
I was just saying, I don't know.
I can't mute.
So you just have to hear everything.
Okay.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't trampling over you, but you were just like, oh, okay.
And I was like, you, you paused for a mad long time.
I thought we were done with Arizona.
I'm just, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Technical difficulties.
Mike, edit all this out.
Mike is definitely going to edit it all out.
You know what?
And just to make sure that he has edited out time to say that word.
The best part about that is I get to let the listener determine what word I had conjured.
I just said that word.
You see, it's like a mystery box.
I'm like a JJ podcast.
I'm just, I'm just, this whole podcast has me disconcerted because Haley has a t-shirt of Sisyphus having sex with a rock and that very much confuses me.
It's not, no, it's Sisyphus pushing up a Q. I thought you would appreciate it.
Now that I see Sisyphus is having sex with a Q, so that makes it even more jarring, so yes.
Yeah, it's funny.
You know what?
Out of respect for Hayley, I just see a shapeless 4.
I don't scrutinize anything about Hayley's tops or clothing strings or any of that stuff.
He's pushing it up a mountain.
like Sisyphus is fucking that thing. I get that it's supposed to be in the Greek fashion.
He's pushing it up a mountain.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, I know what Sisyphus is.
Yes, we know, we know.
And I also know that that's just how the Greeks depicted stuff.
Yes.
But we also know what the Greeks were into.
Yes.
So.
Yes.
All of the botched sex stuff.
This is the weirdest part of the show that we've had so far.
Yes.
I'd like to get away from it if we could.
The person who made this shirt made a hat that says Crisis Actor.
I have that hat.
Yes.
Crisis Actor.
I try not to wear that too much in public.
What an incredible, what an incredible, yeah, Christ is Actor.
That sounds like some bootleg merch that we would get in a lot of trouble for selling at our merch store.
Yeah, this is our Christ is Actor shirt.
It works.
It sort of works on several levels, but not quite on any of them.
Anyway.
Okay.
No, back on track!
Yeah!
Yeah!
We have to talk about Hunter Biden again, because fucking Christ, Hunter Biden won't go away.
Well, I mean, we have to talk about the fake-ass witness that caused a lot of this Hunter Biden bullshit, because it turns out that they may not have been on the up-and-up.
What?
So surprising.
They seem like such a slam-dunk, reliable witness.
Anyway, for more on this, I'll turn it over to Mike and get us all back on the same track again.
Mike, we're back on the track.
Yes.
Let's talk about Hunter Biden's big penis!
Wait, no!
Oh, no!
Yeah, so our boy, Hunter Biden, the main avenue of attack against him and his father, who happens to be the president, the Republicans' star witness for this whole thing has now been indicted for two counts of lying to federal agents and falsifying documents in a federal investigation.
And so Alexander Shmirnov is now, basically the FBI is saying this guy's actually a Russian operative that was peddling disinformation to Republicans.
Okay, because of Hayley's technical difficulties, like, she couldn't, like, unmute herself to make it known to the audience that she was giggling, but I was also giggling.
I'm not, I didn't want to laugh at them.
I didn't want to laugh at them.
Man, I had him muted intentionally.
You should laugh at him.
He's a Russian liar, apparently.
Is that a real name?
I am not a spy.
My name is Smirnov.
Yeah.
Classic American name.
His name is Alexander Smirnov.
That's the name of the guy.
No, it's not.
That's his deep cover name.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so basically the reporting has come out that everything the guy has said to the FBI about this whole Hunter Biden thing is absolute bullshit.
And so now the big question that's being asked is, is our boy Jim Jordan and all the other schmucks that are with him, were they either morons, Or were they also participants in this Russian disinformation campaign to get this guy's lies out before the public to try to smear Hunter Biden and Joe Biden?
Well, come on now!
I thought that Volodymyr Zelensky was a perfectly reliable source!
How could he fault us for that?
He seemed like such an up-and-up guy!
That is exactly what is happening here.
So, um, this is, uh, it's really awesome.
It's really awesome that we have one political party in America so totally devoid from reality and not caring about shit that literally the best interpretation we can make for them is, oh, they just got tricked by those crafty Russians.
Whereas the other alternative is they're working with those crafty Russians and they're very happy to do Putin's bidding to try to take down Joe Biden.
So yeah, this has been hilarious.
Right now the media, as tame as they usually are of Republicans, are pretty happy right now going after Jim Jordan and the rest of them and giving them a ration of shit about all of this stuff.
We'll see how this further spirals now that it's come out that literally the foundational piece of their whole case against the Biden family has been is made up bullshit.
It's just it's just a fantasy that they created of their own volition.
It's wonderful.
So great job, Republicans.
You're truly the best.
See, their LARPy bullshit is starting to spill over into real life.
Exactly.
They went out there, they were LARPing mad hard, they found a guy who was willing to feed into the bullshit.
He's just like, oh yeah, I heard the big goal between the Bidens, you know?
And they're just like, wow, this guy's seriously, why look into him at all?
Like, holy shit, get to the presses with it, my God.
Yeah, it's just the thing where like, whenever the, QAnon loves to be like,
we're the world's greatest researchers, we can suss out like disinformation in a heartbeat,
and they'll just post anything that confirms their biases, It's like, Obama said he was born in Kenya, confirmed!
And it's like, no, that's a deepfake, it's not even real.
They're like, shut up, Lib, you're just triggered much?
And it's like, no, you're just wrong.
Everything you said is- Have I introduced you to my wife?
She's not a Chinese spy.
Ah, beaten she is!
Again?
No!
Son of a biscuit.
Ah, man.
Not to say that every foreign person is a spy or some sort of counterintelligence agent.
I will say that when it does happen, it turns out to usually be conservatives getting fucking no drink by these people that, in hindsight, it's just like, oh, maybe we should have asked some questions.
You're 57.
Why do you have a 25-year-old Chinese wife?
Don't worry about it.
Exactly!
The Overstock guy got with a Russian honeypot.
That Jackson Hinkle idiot.
His woman was Russian intelligence.
Just all these idiots.
That was awesome.
All these idiots just like, oh, how could I possibly have figured out that that beautiful woman was not on the up-and-up?
Dude, North Korean girls just love American guys.
What am I supposed to do?
You know?
They keep throwing themselves at me.
They keep approaching me and just being like, please date me!
Please, for the love of God!
My life depends on it!
I'm just like, damn, I'm the Rizzler.
Oh, man.
Anyway, speaking of people with very high charisma scores, let's do our weekly talk about Mr. Donald Trump.
Mr. Former President Donald Trump, who continues to get his ass paddled up and down our legal system.
Boy, howdy, it's a thing to watch.
So, Mike, what's going on with our former prez today?
Last time we checked in with him, he had lost over $80 million in his defamation suit against the woman that he sexually assaulted and then claimed he didn't.
You got through the worst of it, right?
Yes.
80 million is a lot.
Right.
So, this week he got tuned up for $355 million in New York for business fraud.
That's not that much.
Not much.
Barely a tickle.
That's a fake number.
He made that number up.
It's fake news from fake money.
It's all bullshit.
And besides, Trump's a billionaire.
He'll just write that check tomorrow.
No muss, no fuss.
He's loaded.
He's loaded with cash.
Yeah, he certainly wouldn't need to desperately start selling golden shoes.
That would be crazy.
Wiping sweat from his brow.
Did you get those, Mike?
Were you one of the 2,000 people that Quick purchase, though.
I did not get the Trump gold shoes.
However, I did get to see people posting decodes and bakes of the shoes where they were like, oh, they were like shoes.
Shoes are what your feet are on and your feet are your foundation.
Gold shoes, a golden foundation.
We're going back to the gold standard.
America will have a gold based economy.
They'll be secure.
So, yeah, I saw a lot of.
It's true.
Buy gold.
Yeah.
And Other people were calling them Trump Ones, which translates to Trump One.
Get it?
Ha ha ha!
Trump won the election?
Oh man, so yeah.
What was really funny was I saw people posting photos of Trump with the gold shoes, and then posting the evil people with their red shoes for the Red Shoe Conspiracy Theory.
And then people were replying to them, posting the fact that Trump did have red shoes in his collection of shoes that he was selling.
Uh, yeah, so that didn't work out so great.
They're called Never Surrender Sneakers.
Any bakes around that?
Uh, nope, I have not.
Around the name?
I have not seen any baking around the Never Surrender Sneaker.
Oh, okay.
Just vague shit.
Cool.
Just, yeah, just gold standard lunacy and other, and other, oh, and other people were like, I saw one person like, New York tries to hit Trump with a $300 million fine.
He turns it around and creates another massive revenue stream with his shoes.
This man just wins all the time.
It's like he sold 2,000 shoes to lunatics.
It's not a revenue stream.
It's a smashing grab.
He got the money and it's over.
It's like if I rob a bank, I don't have a bank robbing revenue stream.
I've robbed one bank and it's over.
I've obtained all the money that I'm going to obtain from that one moment.
It's not going to continue in perpetuity.
I'm not going to get residual.
I want to go to one of these Trump rallies and run down some of these people wearing these Never Surrender sneakers that are also flying Confederate flags and be like, oh, I've got bad news for you.
I'm so sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but they literally did that.
Like, it's the textbook definition of that.
Yeah, guy.
Like, literally.
Like, remove one of them.
You can't fly both.
I'm excited to see one in the wild.
Yeah, I mean, like, so those shoes are hideous, and since they, uh, totally only ever planned to make 2,000 of them, uh, like, I probably won't ever see one in the wild, but if I did, I'd be pretty fired up.
But, like, in the same way I would be if I saw, like, an idiot walking out of a Starbucks wearing, like, an Apple Vision Pro in real life.
I'd be like, what's going on with you, dude?
I'd be like, if you wanted that, you should have supported Google 10 years ago.
Like, Google Glass is dead.
Now you have to wear that fucking thing.
Get out of here.
Yeah.
You'll see at least one or two at a Trump rally, I bet.
Oh, I bet.
But are those going to be Trump plants?
That's a good point.
Dude, that would be mad sus.
If I was actually at one of those rallies and I saw somebody like, cause you know, who's going to rock it?
Like 4G Auto Blow's going to rock up there.
I'm like, oh yeah, okay.
I bet you love it.
You know, like, okay, cool, yeah, I bet you're one of the idiots that have a pair of these, because the Trump team probably got you a pair of these.
You're right.
Oh, absolutely.
They'll disintegrate off of his feet as he's climbing down from his big fucking monster truck, and then he'll just have to be like, ha-ha!
I mean, you know, these are still pretty great sneakers, you know?
Like, I just wore them out, doing all the sex!
And then he has to put on real sneakers that were just, like, crudely stitched together at some sweatshop in Indonesia.
Yes!
Forgiato?
Someone made a post about that.
They were like, all these rappers are wearing the trumps.
And I'm like, that was the name.
They were like, oh yeah, I mean, he's like Fuguerello Blow or however you say his dumb name.
I'm like, that's the only rapper I could think of.
Forgiato, Forgiato, Forgiato.
I believe it's Forgiato.
Yeah.
I did watch that Vice documentary on him when it came out because I was like, who the fuck is this?
I was like, is this guy a bit?
I was like, is this guy the new Mr. Brainwash?
Like, are you him?
Are you brainwashing us?
Are you Mr. Brainwashing us?
Where's Banksy at?
Dude, you can't be real.
No, it appeared to be real.
And they captured him on film, like walking down a line of people
at some dumb Trump rally.
And some just like, like blonde, like traditionally attractive lady was just like,
oh my God, you're far too out of blow.
And I was like, what the fuck is happening?
I was like, what is?
He looks like ICP gone wrong.
Like, why?
And his message is, of course, terrible because he's hanging his hat on the fucking bag of bullshit.
Anyway, I have a lot of opinions about him because he's a rapper.
Yeah.
So, yeah, one day we'll have to break down his bars.
We'll have to actually get into it.
We should.
We should.
That'll be a bonus episode because he follows, like, all the so-called culture wars and makes Songs related to them and they're trash as fuck.
Like he's made anti-LGBTQ songs about Target or whatever, Bud Light.
I don't know.
He also links up with like other dudes that are like him, like the Trump Latinos.
If you've ever seen those guys, it's like two guys.
I think one is pretending to be Latino.
I mean, I don't want to cast too hard of a dispersion, but I feel like if you're supporting Trump, you are, at best, faking Latino.
You know what I mean?
I can't possibly imagine being one of these people who's a minority that supports Trump.
Dude, he wants you dead!
He wants you dead and or kicked out of the country.
He would like to kick your corpse out of the country.
They have like a video girl, you know, like the Trump Latinos, you know, like the old video girls, like, like, like attractive woman kind of just moving body and video occasionally dropping a line.
And I think she calls herself like Maga Mama or something like that.
So yeah, we should break these down.
That could be a bonus episode.
Oh my God!
You wanna listen to them?
I am so sorry.
You reminded me of a thing.
I need to wrap that up because we skipped over something incredibly critical in the boosh that I can't believe we missed.
Dude, Rachel Dolezal came out!
Oh no, I don't want to talk about that!
If we're going to talk about the Kansas City thing, we have to talk about Rachel Dolezal because she's back in the news and this time she actually is the victim.
Which is a crazy twist!
I agree!
I agree!
Elle, you're so fucking real for that.
I agree for several reasons.
I was like, don't make me defend her.
Cuz it's just like, dude, like, look, A, it's crazy that she's back.
Cuz I bet everybody probably just rightly agreed that she was just gonna crawl under a rock for the rest of her life and just do her thing.
Like, probably not be punished in a way, like, karmically that she should have been, but wasn't gonna be making any headlines.
Then, it's just like, oh shit, she's back in the news.
First of all, she has sort of changed her name.
I guess she goes by both.
I don't know what her new name is.
I apologize to both her and most deaf.
I'm, like, I'm just stupid.
I don't mean to be deadnaming you.
I'm just an idiot.
I apologize.
Like, uh...
And also, your status is above mine.
Yes, even you, Rachel Dolezal, because apparently she had a successful OnlyFans account on the side, and was doing educator shit.
And of course, in America, those two things, no, no, no, you can't have those two things be combined.
Think of the children.
Also, I believe her photos were leaked, and I did see some outlets sharing the leaked photos, which I don't agree with.
Yes, it is not cool to be leaving the photos.
That being said, I did look at the photos, and I will say... Good for you, Rachel Dolezal.
I didn't know what to expect, but I did sort of have.
I was just like, well, I mean, if this is the path of the Octomom, I've been here before, and it's not great.
Oh my god, yes.
But this time, I was just like, you know what?
She seems to, like, whatever exercise regimen or whatever she's doing, it's working.
She seems like she's just a properly fit and perfectly attractive person.
If only it wasn't for the whole weird race stuff.
But again, we're not trying to get into that here, because in this instance, she is the victim of this, like, unfortunate thing, and it was just such a random topic that I could not talk about it.
It has fuck all to do with QAnon, but I had to, it was just a weird thing that I needed to get out of my system.
Yeah, it's okay.
Such a crazy character to be back.
And it's just like, it's back at this time, like, rocket a little bit of sympathy from the people with a brain in the audience.
Agreed.
And you know what, also locally, because this is a Tucson story.
It's so it's an Arizona story.
Um, she was really I didn't even see that.
How did you?
It is an Arizona story.
It's I'm sorry, it's us.
But okay, so she was kind of semi-backed last year in the news, locally, because she appeared at an event with the governor, Katie Hobbs, and it was an event about, like, banning the state from, like, practicing race-based discrimination based off of hair.
Hair discrimination.
It was like a hair discrimination uh event and you see like a bunch of people in Katie Hobbs like administration and then at the very end is Rachel Dolezal and some people are like is that Rachel Dolezal?
uh so there was like a brief she's back but this is like this made national news uh yeah I agree not for the correct reasons uh not I'm this is not me supporting Mrs. Dolezal it's just like come on man So anyway, I don't agree with someone getting fired for having an OnlyFans account.
I definitely don't agree with her.
deal with that like who the fuck cares if they have an OnlyFans account as long as they're
not like promoting it in their classroom in theory the kids should never know about the
The only way they know is when their parents make a big stink about it, and their teacher gets fired, and then they find it after the fact.
Those kids are gonna be like... I mean, I'm sure once in a while some high school kid will, like, you know, stumble across their teacher's OnlyFans account and ruin their life all of a sudden.
But generally, I feel like a lot of these kids are learning about it after the fact, where they're just like, oh, what happened to Ms.
Dolezal?
Can't remember what her real name is now, or her new name is.
Takeshi Amare Diallo.
Yeah, okay, I mean, that's... You asked!
No, no, no, I mean, I'm not faulting you, but I mean, like, based on her history, like, what was that first name?
Nkechi?
Is that, like... Nkechi.
I mean, I don't... N-K-E-C-H-I.
Space.
I mean... M-R-A-A-M-A-R-E.
Space.
Diallo.
D-I-A-L-L-O.
You figure that out on your own.
No, no, no.
I think you got it right.
And I think that clearly has African rootage.
And I think that for that reason, because of Aunty's history, I'm going to need to do
some receipts.
And until then, I'm gonna stick with Rachel.
And I don't think anyone's gonna fault me for it.
I'm gonna call her Rachel.
Yeah, I'm gonna stick with Rachel until I... Show me where the Nkechi's coming from and who signed off on that one.
Like, you know?
That seems like a bit of a stretch.
Anyway, okay.
So let's reverse time and get back to talking about Donald Trump and his massive settlement.
Because we got wildly off-base.
That's good.
Maybe part of that is my fault, but luckily I do know, I did put a, I dog earmarked the fucking page.
I folded the corner over in a way that would make most book lovers poop their pants.
And now we're back!
And Donald Trump owes almost half a billion dollars in two settlements to various people and institutions.
So, is it going to stick?
That's the real question, right?
He still has an appeals process?
Well, the problem with the appeals process is that he actually has to pony up the most of the money that he owes for the appeal in order to get the appeal.
So all of these right-winger and QAnon folks are like, Donald Trump's richer than God!
This has put merely a drop in the bucket!
It's like, well, let's see him pony up the cash then.
Let's see him put up that money so he can get his appeal through.
What's probably more likely to happen?
But does he have a deadline for that?
I think it's like, well, I'm not really sure about the deadline.
I've seen different things about maybe like in a month or so.
But the main thing is, is that they're going to start proceedings to start taking the money from
him if he doesn't file the appeals.
So that's when the rubber will really meet the roads.
And since Trump doesn't actually have infinite gobs of money, I'm pretty confident that... All these QAnon people are like, oh, he's going to win on appeal, this judge is full of shit, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, well, let's see that appeal happen then, buddy.
Let's actually see it happen.
So good luck with all of that.
As a result of all these things, one Trump PAC literally announced that they raised a grand total of $8,000 in the last campaign cycle and that they were spending millions of dollars on Trump's legal fees.
And right now, the Biden campaign plus the DNC versus the Trump campaign and the RNC.
Like in the last month, Biden and the DNC raised $42 million, and Trump and the Republicans raised $23 million.
So between the fact that the Democrats are making way more money than the Republicans,
and the fact that Joe Biden isn't bleeding money like a sieve because he's fighting a trillion lawsuits for all of his
infinite crimes.
It seems like the financial footing of one side is far better than the financial footing of the other side at this moment.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but despite the massive Keshe settlement against Trump, he wasn't given the so-called corporate death sentence in New York, right?
He has to suspend business activities for a time, but can eventually go back to defrauding New York?
He can't practice business in New York for three years, and his family, his kids can't practice business in New York for two years.
So that's going to be a fun little twist.
But some two random schmucks further down the line, I feel like I heard, got completely barred from practicing business in New York.
They were just like, you are the ones that we're killing for Trump says, you may never do business here again.
In fact, get out and leave your clothes behind.
And then they just had to walk, walk away from the New York state line, like in their underwear.
They're like boxer briefs with the Sad Hulk music playing.
Lightly shivering and just looking over their shoulder.
They're just like, Get!
Get out of here!
Go!
I don't know why, but I was right there with you with the Sad Hulk music.
Just the idea of that, which is like the perfect finish to the story.
Dude, the Sad Hulk music is like a classic for communicating a specific feeling of roadside isolation.
Yes!
Classic.
Okay, well, I mean, see?
Like, look, what an uplifting episode this has been.
I mean, sloppy as fuck, but also uplifting.
Like, Donald Trumbo's a bunch of people, like, half a million dollars.
Oh, yeah, well, never not sloppy.
We're taking Rachel Dolezal's side.
You know, the, like, abortion rights might be getting a push in Arizona.
You'll love to see it.
It's like, let's, let's, let's keep the good vibes rolling.
And our last, our last headline for the week.
Oh, God, no!
He's dead!
Yeah.
Putin got him!
Navalny, he died of totally natural causes.
I heard that.
The causes were so natural you wouldn't believe them.
In fact, they were so natural we're not going to let you see the body.
Yes!
Yeah, so Alexander Navalny, the biggest critic and opposition to Vladimir Putin inside of Russia, died in the gulag that he was detained in.
And this led to all the Putin apologists and bootlickers to be like, hey, what can you do?
Sometimes Sometimes a dictator murders his opposition, but them's the breaks.
I think my favorite part of this was Tucker Carlson, Mr. Free-Speak Absolutionism, declaring that, yeah, leadership requires that you kill some people.
So while I agree that you should be fully free to speak your mind, I also believe that the person who runs the country you're living in should have a right to kill you if you speak your mind in ways they don't like.
So, it's a very... the dichotomy of free speech, as it were.
I mean, ironclad policy to me.
I understand it.
What don't you understand, Mike?
You're free, baby, free to say anything you want that's positive about the president.
Yes.
So the QAnon folks have decided that they need to look at this thing from a different lens other than just a dictator brutally murdering his opposition.
And their argument is basically that right now the Ukraine bill is stalled in the U.S.
House.
People are trying to get the bill to the floor for a vote.
The Speaker of the House is saying he won't allow that.
Their argument is that the Deep State got into that gulag and killed Navalny in order to usher in this backlash against Putin and against Russia that will force the Republicans' hands and they'll have to let the bill go to a vote and then it will be approved and Ukraine will get their money and weapons to fight the war against Russia.
So on and so forth.
And because this is obviously the situation, there's no reason why Putin would kill this guy now.
Because Putin isn't doing a giant media blitz where he just got interviewed by Tucker Carlson.
He isn't trying to project all kinds of strength and power to the world and now just killing Navalny because, fuck you, what are you going to do about it?
Nothing!
That's what you're going to do about it.
There's no way that could possibly be what's happening here.
No, no, no, no siree, Bob.
This was absolutely a deep state plot against Navalny and Putin, trying to make Putin look bad.
And the best offshoot of that nonsense was the anti-vaxxers claimed that Navalny had been killed by the vaccine, which the quote-unquote vaccine was not available in Russia in the first place.
Russia had their own Putin-backed vaccine.
It's absolutely ridiculous.
So yeah, that was That was an awesome spinoff, that Navalny wasn't killed for being in a gulag.
I mean, that was what they found in his underwear when he was in Budapest or whatever, right?
It was the vaccine.
Yes, it was not the Novichok or anything.
He heroically survived falling into a coma from the vaccine, decided to go back to Russia knowing full well that the vaccine was going to kill him.
Yes, exactly right.
That is the story of Alexander Navalny.
That is exactly how it went down.
Ugh, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know, I don't really know shit about this guy outside of the fact that, like, he didn't like Putin.
Putin wanted him dead and tried and failed.
And then that guy was just like, but I'm going to go back to Russia anyway, knowing full well that they're going to arrest me, torture me, and kill me.
It's like, damn, bro, this shit is rough.
False.
Yeah, I mean.
False?
Oh, false.
I was like false.
Yes.
No, not false.
I'm not going to lie.
I'm saying false.
I think a lot of us are just surprised that he managed to avoid falling out of a window.
That's usually how they get this thing done.
Yeah.
Or have his plane- I think the actual line they're showing on this one is that he just fell over during a walk or whatever.
It's just like, yeah, but I mean, you know, I'm sure there was a guard there gently assisting him in the afterlife.
Oh yeah.
I mean, it's like, again, Putin killed this guy.
That's all there is to it.
And anyone who wants to claim otherwise is just a willful puppet of a murderous dictator.
So you can all pound sand.
It's just great.
So, yeah.
Yo, Republicans.
That's my favorite thing, is I've seen so many people posting somewhere, like, what Putin has done here is so unacceptable and blah blah blah.
It's like, well then, let the bill go through.
Let Ukraine get its aid.
There's no quote-unquote other avenue to attack Putin on.
Like, Russia is consumed by the war in Ukraine.
Yeah, how about, like, call in your buddy Trump to actually speak out against it, you know?
Oh, yeah.
Somehow, I doubt he will.
Oh, yeah, I think he, like, said something about Navalny and then pissed and moaned about how he was being persecuted like Navalny was.
And, yeah.
Basically, that's what Trump is claiming.
Like, in the Fox News interview he had last night, they were like, so, uh, Like, you're losing all this money, and you're facing all these lawsuits, and by the way, the election interference hush money case is going to trial at the end of March, and you can't stop it.
And Trump was just like, yeah, this is just like Navalny.
I'm absolutely being poisoned to death by Joe Biden, and then I'm going to be killed in prison by Joe Biden.
That's exactly what's happening to me.
Poor Donald Trump.
The persecuted.
The beleaguered.
The besieged.
So it's like, yeah.
Yeah, the most persecuted man since Jesus Christ.
In fact, maybe even more so, you know?
Yes, I can agree with that.
Absolutely.
Jesus was a tremendous guy, but he's nowhere near as persecuted as Donald Trump, says Donald Trump.
Exactly.
And he would know from persecution, the poor man.
Our poor orange baby.
What a tough life he leads.
Yeah, and speaking of a tough life, I don't have a good segue to get us into our headline news, and that's tough for me.
What a tough life I lead.
Get us out of our head?
We're going into headlines?
I meant to say out of, you know, time is a flat circle.
Shut up!
You know what?
Hey!
I'm giving you a very bit of crap relative to the amount of crap I could give you today.
Okay.
How dare you?
How dare you?
Anyway.
Okay.
Mailbag.
That's what I meant to say.
I meant to say the mailbag.
Our listeners got questions, we got answers.
It's time for Q and A. I tend to keep my razzling to you via text.
I know.
So I can see your reaction to it in media res.
Did you see me react to when I saw your text?
I did.
I absolutely did.
It was great.
That's just for me and Mike though, not the listeners.
The listeners, fuck off!
We love hearing from the listeners, that's why we have a mailbag.
MiBad asks, is the Michigan GOP starting to edge out the Arizona GOP in craziness?
They're working on it, you know.
No, you're giving a hard no?
I snapped no.
I mean, I don't even know what's going on in Michigan.
What's going on in Michigan?
So basically, Michigan, they elected a QAnon lunatic woman to be the head of the Republican Party in Michigan, Christina Caramano.
Caramo.
Caramo.
Oh, really?
That's hilarious.
So she was a person.
She's been posting.
She posted QAnon stuff, talked about all those good things, did the whole child sacrifice, blah, blah, blah.
And eventually the Republicans decided, oh, no, this is not good.
We should not have this crazy person running our state party.
So they held a meeting where they removed her from the chairmanship of the Republican Party in Michigan, and she refuses to accept the results of that.
She's claimed the meeting was not official and was illegally organized, and she doesn't accept that.
She's been removed from power.
So she is currently going to court with the Republican Party in Michigan to fight them, and she wants to remain the party leader.
And so right now, it seems like it's possible we might have two different Republican conventions in Michigan upcoming, one run by her, one run by the other people who are actually running the place right now, but can't legally say so because the court case hasn't been resolved yet.
So, yeah, the Michigan Republican Party is an absolute clown show.
It is a total dumpster fire.
Okay, but while that is certainly a sticky wicket, at the heart of it is some amount of Republicans
being like, yo, this lady is crazy.
Which I think is sort of like a level of self-awareness that I don't necessarily associate
with Arizona Republicans.
So- They did get rid of Liz Harris, who was like,
I mean, you know, Mike, she's the one that, she's QAnon adjacent.
I would say QAnon.
She occasionally has posted QAnon.
She's definitely like in the QAnon realm.
Yeah, but Arizona hasn't done anything about Wendy Rogers yet, and she's fully pilled.
So, I mean.
That's true.
That is true.
That is very true.
There's a couple others.
Just take your dub, Hayley.
Your state is still the GOAT.
I'm not taking it as a dub.
I'm just saying.
Hayley's on record saying that she loves how insane her state is.
I do love Arizona, but you know, it could be better.
Don't put words in my mouth.
Those aren't the words I was putting in your mouth.
So yeah, Michigan's GOP is nuts, but it feels like it's more of an isolated thing where you just have this one person that somehow seized power from the local party, whereas a lot of Arizona's Republicans are actually truly pilled.
So we'll see.
Or hateful.
Here's hoping for you, Michigan, because all I can say is that Michigan and Arizona are both battleground states, so the nuttier you are, the easier it is for Democrats to win.
So please keep it up.
That's all I can ask for.
MK asks, do any QAnon followers claim to be currently in contact with Q, or is there somewhere where Q is still posting drops?
Do any of the followers have justification for why Q disappeared, or do they think Q is dead?
How's the Q Countdown going?
Oh, that website, the Q official site that just has the constant... Yeah, that's an incredible question, Hayley.
I forgot all about that.
We've been checking in every so often.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
When I go to look for the website, it's literally just a bunch of TikTok videos saying the Q website is bullshit.
That's funny.
It feels like everyone's really angry at the website.
Qofficial.net slash password, I think.
Yep.
Today's headline is three siren emojis alert.
The EBS has gone off in the US.
Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle.
Something big is coming.
Eight hours and 37 minutes left on the deadline and there's a photo of a black swan because they love to think black swan events.
So is that a new QDROP or is that an old QDROP?
Qdrop repurposed.
No, this is just the Q website that we talk about.
That is that fake countdown that we said.
Okay. I didn't know if they were saying Qdrop.
No, no, this isn't Qdrop.
Interesting.
Yeah. Q hasn't posted in two years.
And there are QAnon promoters who say that even those two year ago Qdrops were fake.
So that real Q hasn't posted in four years.
No one has really explained why Q left.
And the main justification is that Q's mission was completed, that he woke us up
and he tapped us into the truth about the deep state, man.
Which is kind of ridiculous, because if Q was actually doing what they were supposed to be doing, they would have made messages like, don't go to January 6th, it's a Deep State trap, stay out.
That would have been a really bad idea.
But no, Q took his ball and went home right after Trump lost the election.
So, yeah.
So, uh, I haven't seen anyone go for the gimmick of, oh yeah, I talk to Q all the time, bro.
But I mean, that is a gimmick that people did do back in the day where people would be like, oh yeah, I'm part of Q team.
You had Austin Steinbart claim that he was Q in the future, sending messages to himself in the past to decode, to help him understand what was going on.
And you'll have people like Jordan Sather being like, anyone who claims they're a part of Q-team is bullshit, and fuck them, and buy my coffee, and my dick pills, and blah blah blah, so yeah.
That whole quote-unquote insider thing is an angle that's been used, but no one's used it in a long time.
Because the movement has kind of gone past Q at this point.
If Q showed back up, the promoters would pretend to be happy about it, but they'd be like, goddammit, now we have to pretend that this asshole actually is relevant.
This sucks.
Well, there we go.
I don't know how we got on that tangent, but I believe we at some point in there answered the listener's initial question.
Yeah.
There was questions answered.
Yeah, they hit me with all the questions.
I was quite seasoned and peppered with questions.
Speaking of another peppering, Eric the Deep State Operative asks, upon the death of the God Emperor, what do you think will happen to QAnon?
Is there anyone who could possibly take up the mantle of the former guy, or will it splinter into dozens of competing factions?
It'll just mythologize him more.
Oh, he'll be the king under the mountain.
He will not be dead.
He will be in the shadows waiting for his glorious rise, but he'll become a fallen martyr like JFK.
He'll just be like the latest hero that fought the Deep State valiantly, but then was overcome by them and defeated.
I, the thing is, is that I don't know that there's anyone that exists in our politics now that could actually rally QAnon around them.
Because QAnon is literally a cult about Donald Trump.
There's really no secondary character.
I mean, in the Q-Drops themselves, one of the biggest secondary characters was Michael Flynn, and now half of them hate Michael Flynn now!
I mean, it's wild, so... I don't know that anyone could possibly be like, Hey, Trump's dead, but now I'm your hero!
Back me!
I'm the guy that's gonna save you all!
But, um, yeah.
So, I think that it basically just goes back to being the Illuminati, is really what it comes down to.
It's the Illuminati with Republicans trying to use it for votes, which is a really shitty thing, but that's what Republicans are doing now, and that's not going to stop after Trump dies.
So, here's to hoping that, uh... Here's to hoping that QAnon collapses very quickly, and that a 77-year-old man who's morbidly obese and doesn't exercise at all, that the actuary tables, you know, tilt towards justice instead of injustice.
That's all.
Enlisters fund our trip to the funeral.
Yes.
Thank you.
Oh yeah, but we certainly wouldn't get into any trouble at Donald Trump's funeral.
No!
What's going to be so awful is that when Trump passes away this week, QAnon's going to find that clip and they're going to be like, these podcasters knew Trump was going to pass away.
How'd they know?
Oh, they were in on it, deep state, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, no, we basically talk about Trump dying every week.
Calm down.
I don't know, we're fucking psychic as fuck.
Don't fuck with us.
Or like Taylor Swift will put a hex on you.
Yeah dude, if we could predict such a thing, imagine what we could fucking do to your future, you know?
So, back off, Fink, and run them pockets.
Run them pockets and then back the fuck off.
So that brings us to our final question as always.
What are you guys looking forward to?
Dude, I've got like a bagel sandwich left over from breakfast just chilling in the fridge.
You did a food one last week and you got on my ass before for always saying food stuff.
I mean, that's fine.
Feel free to get on my ass for it, but I'm a fat boy and I like food and eating.
And I also don't really have a ton going on specifically in my social life now.
I can tell you how I ordered some magic cards and I'm excited for them to show up, but I don't think anyone really cares about that.
That's something.
But I'm honestly less excited about that than the sandwich, because the sandwich is immediate!
I also went to go see a doctor about injecting drugs to reduce my impulse to eat sandwich.
Like heroin?
No, like Ozempic.
Oh, be careful with that.
Eh.
Dude, I've been for a good time, not a long time, you know?
I feel you, I feel you.
Dude, I need to get thin enough to fuck before I die.
And then I can die having done that and probably been whelmed by it.
Okay.
I mean, I've done it more.
I'm not like a fucking incel virgin or whatever, but you know, like, I'm just like,
when I think about my reasons for wanting to lose weight, I'm just like, it's honestly not much about being healthy.
I guess it is like in some ways to ward off a future unhealthiness, but that's not necessarily my primary concern.
I'm just like, I would just sort of like my life to be easier.
Sure.
There you go.
Drugs and sandwiches.
That's my... Drugs and sandwiches!
Sounds like a party.
What are you looking forward to, Hayley?
You go, Mike.
Oh, me?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I will be seeing a group of friends this weekend, and we'll be hanging out for an unspecified reason, but I'm excited for that and to see my friends.
There we go.
Did it.
Excellent.
Excellent.
I will suffer all the razzling necessary, but I also have a food-related thing I'm looking forward to because I literally haven't eaten in 24 hours, so I'm gonna go to the show.
Mike, why?
Oh, because I was just fasting.
I had just eaten so much crap for a few days.
I was like, you know what?
I need to just reset everything.
I'm going to go to Chipotle.
I don't know if I'm going to get the ultimate Jacob Chansley special.
You're going to get the QAnon order?
I'm not going to get the QAnon order, I don't think.
Oh, the QShaman order?
The QShaman order, no.
But I am just going to get myself a steak burrito and a chicken burrito and just enjoy.
Just scarf down some Chipotle and have a good time.
So that'll be fun.
Bro, shout out to Corn Salsa.
I love Corn Salsa.
Yes.
Just got that out there.
Is Chipotle actually organic?
Uh, I mean no more or less organic than anything.
Yeah.
That doesn't answer the question.
Who knows?
I mean, well, I'm no fucking Chipotle scientist.
I have no idea.
Dude, I actually tried not to think about a lot of the stuff I put into my body, because I do not want to know how the sausage is made.
Except ozempic.
I mean, well that like... I'm just kidding!
First of all, yeah, I don't want to know what's in that.
I just want to put it in me.
It's just like a submarine sandwich.
It's actually the exact same thing, but with the hopefully opposite effect.
I'm only supposed to be doing one.
I don't think the goal is to just be shooting myself full of experimental super drug and then also eating steak and cheese subs.
But for the time being, I don't have the drug yet.
So steak and cheese it is!
Gotta be putting something in me, you know?
Like, I got the need to consume!
All right.
Rock on.
Yeah, dude, everybody's looking forward to food.
We all love food.
It's good.
