The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about QAnon.
While it's meant to be comedic informative, sometimes we have to get into things like child abuse and violence against people.
Listener discretion advised.
Hello, everybody.
I am Mike Rands, aka Poker and Politics, and welcome to an update episode.
We're just talking about, like, I don't even know if it's breaking news, but it's current news.
And here to help me do that is Haley, aka Haley, aka Arizona Right Watch.
Hello, everybody.
I am proud to announce that New York has fallen.
Yes.
Yes.
But in the best way possible, in the way that is good, if that makes sense.
I'm literally looking at that tweet from Donald Trump Jr. that is literally on my screen in front of me.
It's incredible that you timed that up so well.
That is world class.
Yeah.
So for those of you who are apparently would be living under a cave, the New York Democratic primary for the mayor of New York happened and barring some inconceivable event with ranked choice voting doing something really weird.
Zoran Mabdani is your Democratic nominee for mayor, which is great because Andrew Cuomo is a sex pest and a piece of shit and just a terrible person in general.
And also, as people have pointed out, a really lousy and lazy campaigner who expected to win on name recognition alone.
So for all these reasons, he deserved to lose.
So good.
I'm glad to see that happen.
You know, it's pretty bold of him to, like, even run, in my opinion.
Like, you've been accused of multiple instances of sexual misconduct.
So maybe sit this one out.
Yeah, it's really weird.
I mean, I've been looking at people talking about how there were other quote-unquote Normie Gems in the field that the establishment could have rallied around in an effort to the block Mandani movement as it would have been.
But the problem was, is once Cuomo got in, his name recognition and everyone just kind of thinking that, well, the Cuomo's run New York for forever.
So how could he possibly lose?
It kind of turned the race from a stop Mandani race to a stop Cuomo race.
And it became this really like a lot of elections end up being a not this guy kind of election.
That's why Biden beat Trump in 2020 was people were like, not this guy.
We can't let this guy win again.
And I mean, I definitely do think that Mandani campaigned really strongly.
And from what everyone was saying, he was a very good retail politician.
And he did go out and shake hands and kiss babies and put in the legwork to do this.
And he ran a good campaign.
And I do think there were a lot of people that were voting for him, but I do also think there were a lot of people voting against Cuomo because Cuomo sucks and you should be voted against.
Also, Brad Lander like Crossendorf.
They like Brad Lander and Mamdani Crossendorf.
So it was like, there's some normie Dems that even were sticking with Mom Dani.
Yeah, this is one of the other things that's important to notice about this election was that it was run under ranked choice voting, which means that instead of just voting for one person and stuffing your ballot in the box and calling it a day, this is an election where you rank people.
I believe you could rank like five people.
And the way it works is if no one gets to 50%, then the lowest rated person in the group gets eliminated.
And then whoever the second choices on those ballots were, they get the votes distributed to them.
So another way of describing ranked choice voting is instant runoff voting.
So you just keep paring down people until someone hits 50% or higher.
So Lander and Madani basically cross-endorsing means that like you put one of them down as your one and the other one down as your two.
And that's kind of the point of ranked choice voting is that it has this bridge building.
It has this coalition building where people can work together to like campaign in a unit against a person on a different flank.
This is what happened in Maine where the Democrat won on later rounds of voting because the race was two independents who were liberal leaning, a Democrat and a Republican.
And the three guys on the center left or left, they all cross-endorsed.
So eventually, as long as the total number of votes for those three people was over 50%, they were going to beat the one Republican.
And it doesn't feel like Cuomo was working that path.
It doesn't feel like he was playing the ranked choice voting game at all.
Okay, I'm looking at the Wikipedia for this race, and I have a few things to say.
Number one, you know how there's always a kook that runs?
Like someone that is like.
Yeah, Paper Love Boy or whatever his name was.
Yeah, what the heck is this?
Paperboy Prince, a Paperboy Love Prince, also known as Paperboy Prince of the Suburbs.
It says he's an artist.
I am kind of loving his aesthetic, actually.
This isn't a diss.
I didn't mean to call him a kook, like derogatory.
I mean it like non-derogatory and it's fun.
I like that.
But also, number two, the Republican nominee is Curtis Lewa, the fucking Guardian Angels guy.
Just an absolute clown.
Just an absolute clown.
Actual cook.
Derogatory.
Yeah, I was about to say that.
Kook, derogatory.
And number three, I didn't know Eric Adams was running as an independent.
That's interesting.
Did you see that he was just on a podcast with Sneeko?
No, I did not, but that does sound like who Eric Adams' fan base is right now.
And if you're the Republicans, you have to be so angry that you're not running some empty suit for this job right now.
Just some random guy who isn't the Guardian Angels kook idiot who's obviously not going to get real votes.
That was kind of what I saw some people saying in the right-wing sphere was like, we probably should have ran somebody.
Yes.
Yeah, the Guardian Angels guy.
Yeah, great.
It's like the Democrats have picked someone who is considered to be far left.
So there is the, this is like the one in a million moment where Republicans could race to the center to try to grab normies.
And instead you have the guardian angel Kook as your nominee.
So basically, if you're a Republican and you're a normie, you're voting for Adams because he's your corrupt incumbent governor who's in thrall to Trump anyways.
So there's really, I mean, it's just there's, you don't, Swala doesn't really have a lot of juice.
There's not a lot of reasons to vote for the Republican here other than just like, I don't like the corrupt, I don't like our corrupt mayor, but I also don't like the socialist.
So I'll vote for the Hell's Angel guy and throw my vote into a fireplace.
So yeah, that'd be just lovely.
I got a meme from someone and it says, coming, welcome to New York coming soon.
And it's the Statue of Liberty in a Burka.
Cause of course.
Yeah, I've seen like politicians sharing that, which is like, I feel like us covering 9-11 and the conspiracies around that time.
And then spoilers, listeners, we are going to be covering FEMA death camps.
I feel like we're kind of whoosh back into that era, you know?
You know, my name, unfortunately, has the cage in it and people get a little, people get a little excited when they see that.
So yeah, I love to like, we're so back in like Y2K post-9-11, just like blatant Islamophobia.
Before we even start getting into this, I just have to mention this because I actually didn't know this guy's full background, Zorhan Mamdani.
We're actually same age.
I mean, that's wild that somebody that my age is a mayor or could be mayor.
But, okay, this is how you know that, like, how bigoted, like, the Islamophobes are, is that, like, there's obviously a lot of talk about, like, wow, New York experienced 9-11 and now Muslim kind of rhetoric.
Yes.
He is Muslim.
He's Shia.
But he's from Uganda.
Which it's just funny that just like any Muslim is catching smoke for 9-11.
Right.
Like, his dad is Indian Ugandan descent, and then his mom is Punjabi Hindu.
So this is just like, just kind of when we get into some of this Islamophobic, like, you're responsible for 9-11 rhetoric, just an example of how bigoted.
Right.
That is.
Yeah, because it has nothing to do with anything.
It's literally just, you're a Muslim, therefore we hate you.
And that's it.
And what makes this so ridiculous to me, and I posted about this already today, is these are the people who've told us the Jews did 9-11 for decades.
Like they've never, if you bought the official story of 9-11, you're a normie, you're a sheep, you're a blue-pilled loser, you're a huge dum-dum.
Then, boom, suddenly a Muslim becomes a big-time political figure in America.
Suddenly, the Muslims did 9-11 again.
And it's just, oh, that's interesting.
I had no idea.
I thought it was your other boogeyman.
But as soon as it's convenient to start blaming Muslims for terrorism, you go right ahead and do that.
You have no consistency.
You don't maintain your story.
Whatever you need to say today to get one over on today is what you do.
And I see this one QAnon guy is like, is it time for Congress to pass a law banning foreign-born immigrants to run for political office?
Because a foreign-born Muslim just won the mayor Democratic race.
And yeah, and it's a photo.
It's a video of one of the squad.
And obviously, God, I think it's, yeah, it's Hilen Omar because she's talking about being from Somalia.
and it's just, yeah, immigrants shouldn't be allowed to run for office because America is fuck you, America's not that way.
Yeah, so yeah, also just like it's like a quarter of the world is Muslim, you know, it's like there's like like there's Muslims in every country.
There's like over, there's dozens that are Muslim majority countries.
It's like what every single person did 9-11, apparently.
Yeah.
I do think it's funny.
Okay, so we do have the like, oh, we're back on believing that we're back on the Jews didn't do 9-11 kind of rhetoric.
Blair White, right-wing commentator who's kind of in the Alex Jones sphere.
She's actually transgender.
She's a transgender right-wing commentator.
The saddest of pickneys.
It really is sad.
It's like sad seeing them when she tries to explain some things to people.
And her side doesn't want to hear it.
So she just falls back into she's the only good trans person.
But she said, when you want to use 9-11 as an example, why New York shouldn't elect a Muslim, but you remember it was a false flag.
Right.
A lot of people on Twitter are doing just like, like I said, 9-11 stuff.
Nancy May said, after 9-11, we said, never forget.
I think sadly we have forgotten.
Yeah, yeah.
Betty Johnson said basically the same thing.
New York City in 2001.
We will never forget.
New York City in 2025.
Alex Muslim jihadist.
So they're straight up calling him a jihadist.
And I was actually watching Megan Kelly and Charlie Kirk talking.
I'll get it more into Charlie Kirk later, but I was watching Megan Kelly and Charlie Kirk talk about Benny Johnson calling Mamdani a jihadist because they were also talking about how he is supportive of like gay and trans rights.
And they're like, he's kind of like a kind of like a bad jihadist.
Like, yeah, because he's not.
He's literally not.
He's not.
That's the thing.
He's like a progressive guy.
Like, you know?
Yeah.
There's a photo from Libs of TikTok and it says, this is NYC.
We imported this.
And it's an Asian woman wearing a face mask, what appears to be an Arab woman, and what appears to be a white dude.
And he's like wearing like a bandit scarf over his lower face.
And then there's other people in the background.
There's just like a white guy that's very visible in the background.
And they're all holding signs that say freeze the red Zorhan for New York City, a city we can afford.
And all of the signs are in blue and orange, which are like New York Knicks colors.
So it's very New York themed.
And I'm just looking at this and it's like an Asian woman, a Muslim Asian lady, two white dudes, and then a swath of humanity behind them.
And this lips of TikTok is like, we imported this.
We imported the Asian lady and the Muslim lady.
And that's a bridge too far.
America has fallen into disrepute because we have two non-whites in this camera shot.
This is unacceptable.
It's very funny to get mad at New York for being multicultural too when it's like the multicultural hub of America, if not the world.
Right.
It's like, how dare New York be like New York is just known for that.
It's literally New York in and of itself is a giant melting pot.
It is where everyone goes because it's the biggest city and you can get a job there and do a thing and you can live the American dream and all that good stuff.
And it's very funny that this is happening because I'm training new dealers at like our in our in in-house like dealer training school at the casino.
And the class that I'm training right now is all non-white people and they're all super cool people and they're all like busting their asses to learn how to do the job.
And it's just, yeah, guess what?
Immigrants are great.
I have no problem with any of these people.
They're good people.
Like get over yourselves.
Just get over yourselves.
The whole point of America is that we're awesome and that Ronald Reagan, that neolib far left socialist Ronald Reagan gave a speech about how in any other nation in the world, if you emigrate there, you are always the immigrant.
You are that person.
But when you come to America, you can become an American.
And that's the point of America is that it is all of us, that the immigrants become part of the collective of our nation.
And the Republican Party was like, nuts to that, Reagan.
Get bent, old man.
So yeah, congratulations.
I'm so glad you've turned your back on your great hero from decades before.

Turi?
you you Thank you.
Yeah, there's this like funny stereotype on the right that like immigrants hate America when they did a lot to come here and then also like in my experience and my family some of the I'm from here and I'm always like motherfuck America and then the people the people in my family that are that came here from other places like are literally so fucking American like Ameribus it's wild they love America you know it's um
it's just uh I don't know it Charlie Kirk lives here you know he's been whining a lot and he does live in Arizona and does often rant and rave about how like you know what it's it should be like white majority here and like Mexicans don't belong here and it's like motherfucker you live in Arizona which is an indigenous like word and this place is like like
it's right above Mexico we take pesos in many of our cities like you can't like a lot of our cities and states and every cities and roads and everything are named in Spanish or like Navajo like you can't pretend this is a white like only state but Charlie Kirk's been on this like growing like white identity white identity radicalization
lately um like you know when you track people on the far right Mike and you can kind of slowly see them becoming even worse yeah um like that you can see them like becoming even more bigoted even though you didn't think it was possible um that's been charlie kirk in my opinion like i've obviously followed him for like a ever since turning point has started because it's headquartered here and he did used to get a lot of pushback for being like oh you know if if immigrants
come in the right way it's and they love america then then we love them too and that has definitely changed and completely ended over time and he's he's fully just like immigration uh should end in this country except for white people and with the zorhan mamdani win he went like he went pretty he was like he was just spewing some pretty horrific shit um i'm just gonna go through some of his tweets
uh he said 24 years ago a group of muslims killed 2753 people on 9-11.
now a Muslim socialist is on pace to run New York City.
He said, it's not Islamophobia to notice that a man who wants to globalize the Intifada is about to run America's largest and once greatest city.
It's not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization.
It's cultural suicide to stay silent.
Then he complains about Muslims in like other countries.
And he does complain about a Muslim who is the mayor of Calgary, but he got fact-checked by X because the mayor of Calgary is actually sick.
And I honestly, you know, it's like not to get on my high horse, but I do think it's actually wild that someone in Arizona like is still doing this anti-sick, anti-Muslim rhetoric, like this sick people are Muslims also kind of stuff when like first post-9-11 hate crime in America was in Mesa, Arizona, and it was actually a sick man because he had a turban and they just stereotyped him as Muslim.
So I don't know.
I just think like it's a pretty wild bigotry to be spreading in Arizona.
The local news here has been like going nuts with like sleeper cell kind of rhetoric, which is like, oh, yeah, they love the sleeper cell shit.
They love the idea that they're going to activate the bad guys at any minute now.
So anyway, I've not been casually going insane.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Of course.
That's the way it is.
Yeah.
And the other thing I've been seeing is I've been seeing a bunch of Democrat influencer people on Twitter getting all butthurt about this and stuff like that.
And then other people coming at them and being, oh, you're the ones who say vote blue no matter who and blah, blah, blah.
And to all of this, I say, as a vote blue, no matter who absolutionist, you got to take your medicine here, folks.
You got to vote for Madani.
That's just the way this works.
If you don't like the other side not having solidarity, that's their problem.
You have to have solidarity.
You have to be the bigger person.
You have to be the better person in this situation.
And the people spoken, their mandate was given and we have our nominee for the Democratic Party.
And you vote for him.
That's the transaction here.
You're a part of the party.
You back the nominee.
And if you're going to try to equivocate or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's like, no, no, sorry.
Sorry.
That's the way it works.
Guess what?
The whole point of a primary is the people who are vested in your party and care about it vote on who they want to lead the party.
And then we have a leader and then we back the leader.
That's just how this works.
And if you want to talk about other people being backbiting and refusing to acknowledge it and all that great stuff, that's their problem.
That's not your problem.
You're the one that has to be part of Team Blue.
So get on Team Blue and back this guy.
That's it.
Me personally, I probably would have backed like I probably would have done the lander then Madani second or maybe like, I think there was like the non-insane Adams was a Democrat that was running.
There was someone in the in the group that had that name.
So I Might have gone like one, two, three, them, but I never would have ranked Cuomo and I would have accepted whoever won out of the other group as my nominee.
So, yeah, I mean, admittedly, I'm not from New York.
As you probably will know, if you've listened to this podcast, I'm from a suburb of Boston.
So, this, this, I have no skin in this game, like as to my vote or as to who's going to run my city.
But at the end of the day, you, you, you back the party.
If you, if, if you're a Democrat, you do that.
And if you start to piss and moan, then you do, oh, but the leftists won't back our guys.
Yeah, well, tough shit.
Get over it.
Rub some dirt on it.
And you're, we can't let Adams win reelection.
The dudes enthralled to Trump.
But we're not going to let the Guardian Angels guy win because he's a nut.
So, I mean, hey.
I would let the paper boy win.
Yeah, let Love Paper, Prince Suburbs, let him be like mayor.
That's fine.
Yeah.
But I mean, I just you vote for the nominee and that's it.
And if you're mad at other people who don't follow that logic, well, you can't go against them because it's this whole thing where like when a Christian, when you as an atheist bring up the problem of evil to a Christian and then the Christian's like, but you don't acknowledge the good.
And it's like, yeah, because I don't have a theology.
I don't have to acknowledge anything.
I'm an atheist.
You're the one that's like trapped under by your own rules.
And if you are a vote blue, no matter who person, those are rules.
You have to abide by your ethos.
And if your ethos causes you a little pain, either you accept that pain and you do it, or you don't really have an ethos.
You don't really actually have that moral principle.
So put up or shut up.
That's all there is to it.
So, because I saw some people saying like, a lot of the vote blew no matter who people are pretty quiet tonight.
And I'm like, not me, not me.
Vote blew no matter who absolutionist.
I am on the Madani train all day, every day.
So like, if anyone's like, hey, Mike, do you want to like post stuff to like promote this guy for mayor of New York?
I'm like, no problem.
You got it.
I mean, I'm, I'm not, I'm not like knee deep in the campaign for New York's mayor because it really doesn't impact me.
But if anyone asked me my opinion or told me what to do, I'd be like, vote for the Democrat 100%.
He's the guy for you.
The right man for the job and all that good stuff.
So yeah.
Also, I just think like it is kind of an indicator that like, yeah, a lot of this new wave of Democrats that are going to be running are probably going to be a bit more socially left than the current era of kind of Democrats, like the ones that have been in office for ever at this point.
You know, there's actually a special election happening here in Arizona because a congressman died here, Roald Grialva.
He died like a couple months ago and there's a race happening and there are like, it's like definitely going to go to a Democrat.
It's like a hard blue area.
But it is like another kind of interesting just see who's current like kind of in gonna be running in these next eras of elections.
And it is like some pretty progressive people in there, like young people in there that are like incredibly good at politics already, even though they're not experienced yet.
And do I think will be kind of like future people in politics, even though I don't think they'll win this election.
Dusty's going to go to like a more progressive person no matter what.
I like the person who's going to win is going to be more progressive than like more centrist.
But there are like this like new slate of people that are already making them name for themselves in this race.
That Deja Fox listeners, if you've heard of her, she's very big on TikTok.
She's pretty good.
I've just noticed here a lot like the like kind of newer batch of people that are even in like local office, like the local Dems, like we're getting some more progressive people.
I think like Kat Abu like Godzilla.
Kat Abu with a very long last name, yes.
I know her.
Yeah, like I think they'll actually do pretty good in their race.
I'm just seeing more, and I'm also seeing, you know, I'm on blue sky, which is like liberal slash leftist slash anarchist hell.
And I mean that in a both positive and negative way.
But I do even see like a lot more kind of like normie centrist Dems being a lot more receptive to kind of like left leaning like candidates and politicians and ideas.
And in general, I just think like, I don't think his ideas are really that radical.
It's like I've seen a lot of people freaking out about like, oh, he wants to free child care and like stabilizing the never-ending increasing rent prices and making affordable housing.
And it's like, that's all good things.
And generally, I think kind of normal.
It's not anything too crazy.
He's not like, we're going to line up every person to the right of me to the wall and going to put a bullet directly in their head.
I've also seen people like on the right freaking out about like public grocery stores that he suggested, which I don't entirely know what those are because I live in Republican Hill, Arizona.
Yeah, but he's talked about this idea of having like government run grocery stores and it's a thing.
We will see how that works out.
And the other problem is, as a lot of people have pointed out, the mayor of a city has to probably go through the state in order to get approval for any of this stuff.
So when you're a mayor, it's like really kind of tough because the things you want to do to improve things, it's really hard for you to get approval for That but when things go bad, you just get blamed for it instead of like the state and the state congress getting blamed for it.
So you end up just being trapped in the situation where you're fighting for progress, but the system is just like throwing sand in the gears everywhere you go.
From Sinner to Guy Ritchie.
My name is Conrad Harrigan.
And if you cross my family, do some disputes.
It's your lucky day.
Now they have Lyko up to 30% on many nordiske favorites.
Bl.a.
from Lumine, Nude Beauty and Water Clouds.
We see us, Polico.
Your beauty playground.
Um...
On the right, I've seen like this compare, like compared on par to like 15-minute city rhetoric, like it's kind of being used interchangeably, which if you listen to right-wingers, they think is like concentration camps, essentially, which I don't fully understand.
It's just like, I want to use the bus and be able to go to places in my area.
And they're like, they're locking you in.
And I've seen like this like government supermarket essentially used in the 15 Minute City.
Oh, of course it will be.
Yeah.
Which is very funny.
These people never stop adding stuff to their mythology to make it more exciting and scary.
Yeah, that's the way they operate.
It's just how they do it.
But yeah, so someone like talked to me and they were just saying that like this is a problem with Democrats is that they're too centrist.
They're not reaching out and everyone's like stuck with the old names.
And my response, like, my, my, my question to them was like, who's going to be a quote unquote old name in 2028?
All the people running for president are going to be from a new generation.
You're going to have Prickser in Illinois, Newsom in California, Whitmer from Michigan.
I mean, AOC might run.
You could have Warnock running from the Senate.
I mean, there's a like the candidates that we have that could potentially run in this upcoming election, none of them are going to be quote unquote, like the old guard.
I mean, it's going to be, oh, Shapiro, Bashir.
I completely forgot about them.
But yeah, I mean, there's a lot of people that are going to be there.
And I think the other thing is, is that you're going to be dealing with the fact that like Trump can't run.
If we're dealing with the illegal third term, then like kind of all bets are off.
But between Trump being really old and his brain being pudding and it being illegal, there's a lot of things going against the Trump 2028 run.
And you're running against, I'm seeing people who are already like, oh no, are we going to get President Vance?
And I'm just looking at them and I'm like, have you seen JD Vance?
Have you seen how unbelievably unpopular this man is?
He almost lost a Senate seat in Ohio.
Ohio is a blood red state.
And this guy had to win it at the last minute.
Like if it was a basketball game, he had to score a buzzard beater to win election in Ohio because he's just repellent.
If you're not a hardcore MAGA lunatic, you don't like J.D. Vance.
And if Trump doesn't serve out his term of office, guess what QAnon's going to do?
They're going to say that Vance killed him.
They're going to say that Vance sidelined him.
Vance is deep state.
That whole cult that they've been working to cultivate for all these years is going to aggressively turn against them.
It's going to be a disaster.
So I just think that people are grossly overstating the power of the Republican, the Republican nominee in 2028.
Because if it ain't Vance, then, oh man, are you talking about a party with no bench?
There is nobody that they can grab to put up there.
Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, all these heavy hitters.
I mean, I'm like, I mean, they might as well run Charlie Kirk for president at that point.
Oh, he's still going to run one day.
Yeah.
Charlie Kirk is going to find some like plus 70 Republican district somewhere and run for the House and have like a couple a cup of coffee in the house and then immediately run for president.
Like that's a that's immediately going to be his dream.
He's going to be like Representative Kirk from the most conservative like he's going to, who's your, who's the guy with the Parkinson's and the Nazis in Arizona?
Paul Gosar.
Gosar.
He's going to take Garzar's seat.
When Gosar finally gives him the high sign, Kirk is going to run for that seat and he's going to hold it for four to six years, then run for president from it.
In Mesa, in the Mesa area, that's where Andy Biggs currently is serving and he's actually going to run.
He's running for governor.
So that seat is going to be open.
And I am so scared about who runs for that seat because it's a red area.
I'm hearing some scary talks.
Not Kirk, but one day he will, I think, run for something.
Is it our girl Wendy?
Is Wendy about to go national?
No, it's actually Sheriff Mark Lamb, who is like ex-sheriff.
He's actually currently not the sheriff, which is why I started.
They couldn't shoehorn Blake Masters in there.
Blake's going to do it.
It's funny that you talk about how JD Vance has no popularity whatsoever.
And I totally agree.
The only people that are currently on his side are Blake Masters.
And I do think it's funny that Blake Masters is considered part of the JD Vance Peter Thiel group and has been obviously trying to run for stuff and has still not gotten a position or anything.
They're just like, that guy's insufferable.
No.
I do like that Blake Masters has gotten absolutely nowhere despite his high status.
And also, speaking of JD Vance, I think it's funny that he joined Blue Sky, if you didn't hear.
Yeah, I heard about that.
He got kicked off in like five minutes.
No, okay, so this is right-wing misinformation.
Oh, they've lied to me.
I don't believe it.
Yeah, he joined, and his username is so funny because it's not like, you know how Trump's like real Donald Trump or it's like JD Vance.
His is like JD-Vance-1.
Like boomer ass screen name.
But he immediately became the most blocked account on Blue Sky.
And like he keeps trying to troll and his, he's getting absolutely no interaction.
He's got for like who he is.
It's so, it's, he's not, he is not succeeding in his goal of like trolling Blue Sky.
And he doesn't even have that many followers.
I have like double the followers as JD Vance.
And yeah, the right wing was like, oh my God, he was banned right away.
And it's like, no, actually, he was, he has a check mark.
He was checkmarked.
They checkmarked him.
So that's what's going on on Blue Sky with JD Vance.
He has no, he has no like smoke on the right.
He has no smoke on the left.
He's just insufferable.
Did I tag a couch that I found in the middle of the desert this weekend with JD Vance was here?
Maybe.
Get him.
Get him.
Yeah.
So, yeah, JD Vance, just boy howdy.
I mean, again, he's going to run for president.
They're going to put the machine around him.
They're going to try to make it happen.
But let's not overstate the lift we're doing here.
We're not fighting against the combination of Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan combined.
We're not fighting some great political mastermind of the new generation.
I'm pretty sure our side is going to have the better candidate.
I'm just going to put that out there.
I don't think we're going to have the heavy lift of, oh, if only their guy was running on our side, this would be so much easier.
And one last thing about Madani that I wanted to mention is my girl Shirley, Normie Dem front woman of garbage, has a lot of Madami celebration on her Facebook.
Basically, every morning I go and she always has like 30 new stories.
She's the most Facebook-pilled celebrity imaginable.
And always half of it is Gaza and fuck Israel shit.
And then after that is maybe some stuff like from the album and the tour and stuff.
And then some other stuff is today's current events.
And she is very based in Madamne pills.
So that's, that made me chuckle.
And the last thing I was going to mention is as a total non-sequitur, but it's me.
And I have to say these things is Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that Israel killed Kennedy.
And that made me laugh very much.
She had a very long reply to Mark Levin.
And it was basically just sort of like, look, you're wrong.
Like Jesus is Lord and you Jewish people are wrong about like that kind of thing.
But after all of her stuff that she talked about, she states that there was once a great president that the American people loved.
He opposed Israel's nuclear program and then he was assassinated.
I am for peace.
I oppose war, including wars Israel wages.
Should I feel that my life is in danger too?
What about President Trump, who strongly rebuked Israel this morning for continuing to attack Iran?
And then she has the tweet from Mark Levin that quote tweeted to like showing that she's calling him out.
So yeah.
Marjorie is now all in on the Jews killed Kennedy.
So congrats, everybody.
Congrats, Rob Reiner and Solidad O'Brien and all you other idiots who've been peddling this JFK shit.
And now it's reached its inevitable anti-Semitic conclusion.
So big ups to all of you.
Congobulations.
I, you know, I have a shirt of Lee Harvey Oswald's mugshot.
Yes.
Which I wear usually.
I got this.
I got that for the pod and I only wore it when we recorded the pod, especially the JFK series.
And I went out of town like last month and accidentally packed no light shirts except for that one.
And it was a day where I was going to be outside a lot.
And I was like, well, I need to put on a light shirt, but I only have the fucking Lee Harvey Oswald shirt.
And so I put it on and I was just like, I was telling my friend that I was with.
I was like, dude, I think I might get some weird comments for wearing this.
And they obliviously were like, nobody's going to know who that is.
And oh, buddy, were they wrong?
Because I got so many shits.
It was so funny, too, because it was guys that like sound like surfer guys in Arizona that kept talking to me about the shirt.
And it was very funny.
The funniest one was like, whoa, that's a wild shirt.
Poor guy.
Talking about Lee Harvey Oswald.
And I thought that was so funny.
Did you know he was just a Patsy?
Yeah, literally it was that.
He's like, man, poor guy.
So yeah, that was a whoops on my part.
I might do it again.
I might work to like the weed shop sometime because I bet I'll get some funny comments at that place.
Oh, that'd be awesome.
That'd be totally sweet.
Yeah.
So, thanks to everybody for listening.
We wanted to just bang out this quick current events, like kind of breaking news pod and just take the temperature.
Jaylee, the hardcore lefty, and me, the normie Dem, are both team Madani.
This is good.
All in favor of it.
And so, yeah, that was great.
