| The Adventures in Hell World 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 Reins, aka Poker and Politics, and welcome to another episode of Adventures in Hell World. | |
| This week, I am joined by Eric, the deep state operative. | |
| That's right. | |
| Once again, I am fulfilling the role of first person introduced. | |
| Yes, and you are also here to tell somebody that the Cubs suck and go fuck them the way the Pope did to that guy. | |
| He was riding around in the Pope Mobile. | |
| It's awesome that we have a baseball knowing Pope just going at people who go at him about the game. | |
| And we were also joined by Steph. | |
| It's Steph. | |
| Yay! | |
| Yes, feel it. | |
| Feel that. | |
| Feel the energy. | |
| Feel it in your toes. | |
| It's magical. | |
| That's right. | |
| So either are you doing no gings this weekend? | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| Wow, that was immediate, immediately. | |
| Nope. | |
| Fuck that. | |
| No shot, buddy. | |
| Don't know what you're talking about. | |
| I don't think the place that I'm going to be this weekend would have that at all. | |
| I don't think Mount Shasta has a primary population of people who would be opposed to Trump since most of them think that aliens live in the mountain. | |
| Something I always thought was funny about that because, you know, there's that company, Shasta, that makes the kind of off-brand pop. | |
| And I'm sorry, soda for you non-Chicagoans. | |
| But anyway, they have their own version of Mountain Dew, and they call it like Mountain Lightning or Mountain Thunder or something like that. | |
| And I'm like, it's right there. | |
| Call it Mount Shasta. | |
| I mean, come on. | |
| Or mountain. | |
| A lot of people went missing on here. | |
| Nobody remembers that. | |
| Yeah, I'm working, so I will not be attending any rallies because the casino industry is such that when everyone else is off, you're on. | |
| So yeah, you work weekends and that's just life. | |
| So yeah, I'm going to be in the I'm going to be at the office telling people they need to hit their 16s when they do their showing a 10, unless they want to surrender. | |
| And then they're like, I didn't come here to quit. | |
| And then they hit and then they bust. | |
| They're like, oh, beans. | |
| Oh, speaking of protests, if any of our listeners happen to be in the Portland area, there is a woman who's currently hanging out in Portland and trying to insert herself and all this stuff. | |
| The Telegraph just did an article about her. | |
| Her name is Pam Hemphill. | |
| She calls herself the MAGA Granny. | |
| She was a J6 defendant, all this. | |
| She's a grifter. | |
| She has a consistent historical record of lying to people. | |
| She didn't leave MAGA. | |
| MAGA threw her out for drumroll grifting. | |
| I heard the Twitter space where she got dumped by them. | |
| If you come in contact with her, don't engage with her. | |
| Ignore her. | |
| Don't give her any attention because Moonshausen, she wants all the attention. | |
| She did a pod after being on CNN and all these other mainstream outlets. | |
| She did a podcast with some weirdos claiming that her mom was a serial killer that kept dead babies in wine casks or something. | |
| She will make up anything. | |
| She will say anything. | |
| Pam Hemp Hill, MAGA Granny, ignore, avoid, get rid of, run her out if you can. | |
| I just wanted to advise you on that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And then I've seen her like starting feuds with people on Twitter because she like because she's saying they're trying to, they're trying to destroy her or something like that. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's that's the honest people among us who are like, hey, this lady's lying. | |
| And we got her de-platform. | |
| She was supposed to speak with like Adam Kinzinger or something. | |
| So a bunch of us went to Twitter and we posted the video where she's like, well, I guess pedophilia is okay. | |
| I remember her crying about that one for a couple weeks. | |
| Oh, God. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And then I guess apparently Brock called me out and said that I was like the one most responsible for it. | |
| I was like, all right. | |
| But I, yeah, no, but yeah, she, she, she, it's the same, it's the same schematic as Alex Jones and Jim Stewartson. | |
| Nothing's ever their fault. | |
| They can't take blame or responsibility for anything. | |
| And, you know, whatever story fits the current wave is what they're going to go with. | |
| So that's, that's, she's just like them. | |
| So, yeah. | |
| But yeah, but she does have a lot of people fooled. | |
| I've seen that. | |
| Yeah, because I guess you can just like say anything and anyone will believe you without fact checking. | |
| Well, that's the way this world works now. | |
| I mean, that's that's everybody. | |
| That's this isn't her. | |
| This is everyone. | |
| I mean, especially on social media. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Right now, I'm looking at this. | |
| I'm looking at a tweet from Dinesh D'Souza, and everything about this is so beautiful because Dinesh opens up by saying, I note with some dismay that I cannot easily tell if this guy is part of the Ilhan Madamne gang on the left or the Tucker Candace gang on the right. | |
| It's like Orwell says an animal farm in the ends, the pigs and the humans are indistinguishable. | |
| And he's talking about Myron Gaines and Myron Gaines' post where he's like, yeah, we like Hitler. | |
| No one gives a fuck what you woke Jews think anymore. | |
| Bro was a revolutionary leader and saved Germany. | |
| The Jews declared war on Germany first. | |
| And the best part about this is that D'Souza is, of course, lying because Candace and Tucker are pro-Hitler. | |
| That's the thing. | |
| They've actually been like, you know, Hitler, maybe we got that wrong. | |
| Whereas Illinois and Zorhan Madani have never said anything in favor of Hitler. | |
| So he's immediately trying the false equivalence, the left and the right when it comes to who likes Hitler or not. | |
| Yeah, he's trying to pull the old horseshoe on him. | |
| Right. | |
| But then the best part about this is that he gets a reply from Tristan Tate, Andrew Tate's brother. | |
| And he says, what's important to note is that Kamala Harris herself acknowledged him as one of the reasons young men voted for Trump in, voted Trump in and why she lost. | |
| So despite his abrasive communications child, we should all be putting respect on his name. | |
| So I love that Dinesh is like, look, now, guys, now we need to back, we need to calm down with this Hitler shit. | |
| And then you got a Tate brother being like, bro, the Hitler shit's working for us, bro. | |
| We need to stick with the Hitler shit. | |
| The kids love Hitler. | |
| So it's just really funny how. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| Go ahead, Steph. | |
| I was just going to say, I guess since, you know, Epstein's cool now, I guess it's okay that they can talk to Dinesh again. | |
| You know, I guess, I guess, you know, oh, wow, the best thing that ever happened to Dinesh was finding out that nobody cares about Epstein, apparently. | |
| Because didn't that dude get in trouble? | |
| He was like texting underage boys or something. | |
| I've heard nothing about that with the statement. | |
| I don't remember hearing anything about that either. | |
| I thought that. | |
| Oh, no, that was Ali Alexander. | |
| Sorry. | |
| I get all these scumbags mixed up that it's just a jumble of scumbags in my mind. | |
| And, you know. | |
| Yeah. | |
| True. | |
| You need like a flowchart. | |
| No, not a flow. | |
| You need like a program. | |
| You need a program. | |
| Thank you. | |
| A program. | |
| Programs. | |
| Programs here. | |
| Ice cold, ice cold pop. | |
| Popcorn programs. | |
| None of your right-wing extremists from each other. | |
| I'm so sorry that I got my right-wing shitbags mixed up. | |
| I apologize. | |
| To us, not to them. | |
| The thing to me, what's so crazy about this is that this is now like the fulcrum point on the right is that is openly embracing Hitler acceptable? | |
| Why slash N? | |
| And there's a lot more why than you'd want to believe. | |
| Yeah, a lot of people are. | |
| It should be a no-brainer. | |
| No, they fought a war against him and he killed millions of people. | |
| No, why are we even asking this? | |
| And a lot of people are like, you know, maybe, maybe we can do the Hitler. | |
| I mean, it's just, it's. | |
| I know. | |
| Some people are trying to be like, well, you know, the victors write the history book. | |
| So maybe. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Maybe this is just a slander campaign. | |
| Right. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Maybe Hitler got a bum rap. | |
| That's that's that happens all the time inside QAnon is you just have all these people who are saying, well, the media slanders Trump and we know he's great. | |
| So how do we know they got Hitler right? | |
| And it's like, I don't know. | |
| The fact that we have all kinds of contemporary media from the from all from the moment of his rise and ascent to power through the entire war. | |
| Uh, I don't know the Holocaust, which these people deny because they have to. | |
| And my favorite part about that is that you'll have Jake Shields and all these other rabid anti-Semites who are like, Hitler didn't commit the Holocaust, but if he did, it would have made him paste. | |
| I mean, that's because that's their argument: Jews are evil and must be destroyed. | |
| But Hitler totally didn't destroy the Jews. | |
| No, I don't know what you're talking about. | |
| It's uh, it's like the old Chris Rock thing. | |
| Uh, I'm not saying they should have done it, but I understand, right? | |
| Yeah, it's it is, and that's where we're at right now in this country: is that we've got the vice president of the United States reacting to a quote-unquote young Republican group chat. | |
| And by the way, a lot of those guys are in their 30s. | |
| Yeah, they're not young. | |
| These, these aren't we lads. | |
| This isn't a bunch of 21-year-olds who can't handle their booze and got a little punchy and started talking about the Führer. | |
| Yeah, this is a, yeah, these are people who are young only to the fossils currently running the government, right? | |
| They're young in the sense that they would be the youngest president ever elected if they became president, right? | |
| Which is not very young in normal people's years. | |
| And you got JD Vance going, ah, you know, kids these days, they love the Hitler, they'll grow out of it. | |
| And it's like, no, no, they won't, JD. | |
| They're this is who they are. | |
| This is who your party is. | |
| Yeah, yeah, his response to this was, boys will be boys. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Oh, yeah. | |
| Hey, again, it's grab them by the pussy. | |
| It's locker room talk. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| People just say things in private that are terrible, but they don't really mean it. | |
| And it's like, no, they do. | |
| They mean it. | |
| They absolutely do mean it. | |
| And I got to wonder because JD Vance, one of the first things he said about this was, you know, things I said when I was young didn't get recorded like they do nowadays. | |
| So it's like, okay, what did he say? | |
| Yeah, what did you say resonated with this? | |
| Right. | |
| It was like when Trump was like, Steve Miller, you should tell us what you really feel, but don't tell us what you really, really feel because you'd probably use a hard R to describe that. | |
| I don't want that in my White House. | |
| Rodney Dangerfield collar tug. | |
| Just the whole, the whole bit. | |
| Oh, man. | |
| That's what I mean. | |
| Again, I've said this a million times and I'll keep saying it, but it's just we literally hold Trump to no standards. | |
| Trump is just some dumb, wacky comedian that the media just talks to for his newest bit, not the president who decides if we all live or die. | |
| Rich is his actual job. | |
| That's what he is. | |
| That's that's how this works. | |
| I mean, right now we're just dealing with senile pop-pop. | |
| He decided to tell us, oh, yeah, by the way, I'm actually aggressively meddling in Venezuela now and probably I'm going to start bombing it. | |
| The peace president, everyone. | |
| The peace president, the guy who was so close to the Nobel Prize that it was cruelly taken away from him by the Illuminati after he totally pieced up the Middle East. | |
| Do not read up on what Hamas is doing right now inside of Gaza. | |
| The incredibly peaceful things that Hamas is doing. | |
| To which Trump just posted on social media that if Hamas does not stop killing people, we are going to send troops into the ground to kill Hamas. | |
| America is going to go into Gaza now. | |
| That would explain why I kept seeing all these tweets on the right saying, no, he's not. | |
| No, we're not actually sending troops anywhere. | |
| No, this is the Truth Social Post. | |
| If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, the D and deal is capitalized for some reason. | |
| We will have no choice but to go in and kill them. | |
| Thank you for your attention to this matter. | |
| Did this guy, did he did Trump read a lot of Victorian prose when he was young? | |
| Because they like to do that pointless capitalization too. | |
| So I just wonder where he got that from. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| I can feel that question. | |
| I like to go. | |
| The name that I give it is unnecessary capitalization. | |
| And if you actually dig deep, you'll see like you'll see it on whale on the whale website. | |
| You'll see it on InfoWars. | |
| You'll see it in Trump tweets. | |
| You'll see it with Jim Stewart's in. | |
| it's a common hallmark trait of in general conspiracy theorist it's a sense of self-importance you know how you you see this consistent track record of like you know they're confabulating stuff and like overblowing credentials this is kind of part of that like like with jim fetzer and some of this sandy hook stuff he was like this was 8.74 miles away from the school dude just say | |
| miles or 8.75 like there's this need for specificity and for like making dressing things up because everything has to be meaningful so when you see like this unnecessary capitalization it's a sign of an unwell mind usually it really it really is it's a sign of self-importance self-assistance and | |
| it's a hallmark trait of conspiracy theorists so yeah yeah that is that is something you see with these people there is a technique that i have heard about that i currently cannot uh i can't find it online as as you were talking i was looking for it but basically there is this way of talking that is designed to try | |
| to manipulate people and it is something that is uh it's debated as being uh claptrap or not and it's probably bullshit because most everything like that is kind of um usually nonsense like i live in a world uh in the world in the gambling world everything is that way everything is uh oh i can control the dice so they they come out the way i want them to i say actually you can't do that you literally | |
| can't control the dice but um this is something where you use capitalization and words to try to direct people's attention to certain words in the phrase to try to give them more emphasis and here he's trying to make the word deal more important because again he's supposed to be the deal maker like the guy who's so smart he knows what he's doing and all and | |
| uh that is what uh that's the | |
| mentality i don't think it's neuro linguistic programming but if if that is the term i will i'll be like damn he's deaf was right but uh anyways uh what i was gonna say is that you've got this uh nonsense going on and it's really frustrating that this is where we're at now with uh the | |
| debating if hitler is a good person or not and so that's this thing inside the republican party right now and | |
| where do they go where do they go do they get further radicalized or do they ever pull themselves back from this cliff it's really hard to know because they uh they've never done so before they've never decided oh wait no they've ah you know we're going to we're going too far we're we're doing the bad thing we need to we need to stop they never think that oh | |
| you know we need to dial us back they're always like go forward attack attack attack uh andrew torba the guy that runs gab he was posting stuff like this chat is tame they have no idea how hateful and bigoted we all are We're a bunch of crazy lunatics. | |
| We're out of our goddamn minds. | |
| And it's only going to get worse for these pricks when we finally reveal our true power level. | |
| And it's like, that's great. | |
| Just great. | |
| Just what are we doing here? | |
| What on earth are we doing here with these people? | |
| So you got that going on. | |
| And then you have the story of an so one, I don't know if it was one of these guys, but it was a person who is an aide to a representative, a Republican representative. | |
| And that aide was in like a group meeting or whatever. | |
| It was Zoom recall or something. | |
| And he had an American flag on the wall behind him. | |
| And that flag had manipulated its stripes in the middle of the flag to be a swastika. | |
| And people were like, oh, shit, this fucking Nazi is openly like has defaced the American flag with a swastika in it. | |
| And he's hung it on his wall in his cubicle so that people can see his American Nazi flag. | |
| And so now this guy, I don't even know what he is. | |
| He's senior correspondent for Fox News. | |
| Oh my God. | |
| This clown, this clown is trying to spin for this guy. | |
| Chad Pernham is the program is the name of this guy says, swastika flag in office of rep Dave Taylor may be an optical illusion and easy to miss. | |
| The weird story about an aide to rep Dave Taylor having a flag in his Capitol Hill office with a swastika on it has just gotten weirder. | |
| Multiple sources tell Fox, including those investigating the issue, the flag in question is an American flag, but with a swastika embedded into the ink or weaving. | |
| Here's the strange part. | |
| The swastika is not obvious to the naked eye, but is more visible when captured on video or by a still photo. | |
| One source described this as an optical illusion. | |
| Fox has learned that dozens of other congressional offices received these American flags from an undetermined group who brought them around Capitol Hill earlier this year. | |
| One office tells Fox the swastika on their flag was clear, so they tossed it out. | |
| But the flag in the office of Taylor was not visible until captured on camera. | |
| It is not known what group brought the flags about. | |
| This is under investigation. | |
| The U.S. Capitol Police are also conducting an inquiry. | |
| Fox has told the group that brought in the flags had multiple flags at issues. | |
| If the group knew the swastika was embedded in the flag or not, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. | |
| Yep. | |
| Fuck you. | |
| Do not believe any of this shit. | |
| Show me the flag. | |
| Show me this flag that is an optical illusion swastika. | |
| So this flag is the opposite of Bigfoot, where you can only see it when the camera comes out. | |
| Yes, essentially. | |
| Exactly. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay. | |
| Is it a magic eye thing where you have to stare at it and chant Mein Kampf? | |
| Chant lines for Mein Kampf before you see it. | |
| I mean, what the fuck? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| It's, yeah, it is. | |
| This is ridiculous. | |
| They're, oh, we totally didn't see the swastika flag. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| Just ridiculous. | |
| Just absolutely ridiculous. | |
| These people are so. | |
| Own it. | |
| Own your shit. | |
| Your party is a bunch of Nazis. | |
| Your party is a bunch of pro-Hitler scum. | |
| I mean, just, oh, my God. | |
| It's so embarrassing. | |
| These people are trying to defend themselves. | |
| They know what they are. | |
| They know what they've done. | |
| And they don't know what's going on. | |
| I just don't get it. | |
| I just truly don't understand how anyone can pretend this shit. | |
| It's really frustrating. | |
| So here we are. | |
| Here we are now with this is our Republican Party. | |
| And their great internal schism is, is Hitler cool on our side. | |
| We are currently having a debate if some oyster shucking guy who's never run for office before is a better candidate to beat Susan Collins than the very old lady who is the current governor of Maine. | |
| We're currently arguing the minutiae of Democratic primary politics. | |
| Well, on the other side, they're sitting there going, How openly pro-Hitler can we be without alienating people? | |
| Which exactly none. | |
| You should be pro-Hitler exactly 0%. | |
| That's the amount of pro-Hitler you should be. | |
| This is, this is not a tough call. | |
| This is very easy. | |
| Less Hitler love, more hatred of Hitler. | |
| He was a bad person. | |
| He did bad things. | |
| It was good that we fought a war against him and kicked his ass. | |
| And yeah. | |
| So it's just, it's lovely. | |
| It's truly lovely that this is where we're at in America in the year of our Lord 2025. | |
| Speaking of where we're at in America in the year of our Lord 2025, we're about to just, you know, make the House of Representatives totally unrepresentative. | |
| We're going to get rid of the Voting Rights Act. | |
| We're going to make sure that all these congressional districts that elect black people don't exist anymore and that the South is racistly gerrymandered to the absolute hilt. | |
| So that's going to be great. | |
| Republicans may win up to 19 more seats in the House as a result of this, which is going to make the House a on-democratic cesspool where you can, the battle is the battle is going to be between the pro-Hitler and the anti-Hitler Republicans in all those districts. | |
| That's really going to be like, Bob Smith loves Hitler. | |
| Vote Bob Smith for Congress. | |
| It's going to be like Life of Brian. | |
| Like, we don't like the people's front of Judea with the Judea people's front. | |
| It's going to be the Republicans for Hitler versus the Republicans against Hitler. | |
| And eventually the Republicans against Hitler are going to be called a bunch of pinko commie libs. | |
| And they're going to be, no, we're not. | |
| Leave us alone. | |
| And then it's going to all come down to who believes the Zundel report. | |
| That's a famous Holocaust denial piece of evidence, as they like to call it. | |
| And it's all bullshit. | |
| So, yeah. | |
| What? | |
| Jake Shields and his wooden doors didn't sway you? | |
| Oh my God. | |
| I mean, things have been happening in America with so much bullshit, like fucking this country up that it's been like kind of hard for us to do one of our kind of deep dive episodes. | |
| But every now and then, when we're sitting there spitballing like a deep dive episode, if we're kind of running out of material, I will throw the Holocaust into the discussion. | |
| And basically everyone just sort of like sighs. | |
| And there's like, you know, at some point we probably should do like a series of episodes on the Holocaust because it's kind of an important thing. | |
| And even though 10 million other people have documented it, it doesn't, it doesn't matter. | |
| And getting more, getting more stuff out there, showing people how this is a real thing that really happened and that how Hitler, piece of shit, not a great guy. | |
| I mean, all of that is kind of important. | |
| So yeah, it's a magical place that's happening now where we and this is the thing is that once you make all these congressional districts uncompetitive where Democrats can't win them because the people in those districts believe that Democrats are Satan worshiping baby eating psychopaths. | |
| They're monsters. | |
| I mean, we've just created this mythology inside the Republican Party where so many of the rank and file voters and people involved in the party just talk about how we as Democrats hate America, hate God, hate good things, hate the family. | |
| We're just hateful. | |
| We just want to destroy. | |
| They view us as these monsters that just want to tear this country down. | |
| And once you get to that point, once you get to the point where the opposition party is not a group of people who have political disagreements with you, but they are actually an existential threat to your nation. | |
| Yeah, I got to vote for Bob Smith, the guy who loves Hitler, because if I don't, the Democrat will win and he's much worse. | |
| It's literally every time Alex Jones tries to explain why he's backing Trump, especially when he's got Nick Fuentes on the show and Alex is just like, look, man, I know the Epstein thing's bad, but come on, Harris Eats babies. | |
| We can't support the baby eaters. | |
| We had to vote for Trump. | |
| I mean, it's the only play we had. | |
| And back in the day, Alex would have done the whole two wings of the same corrupt bird, Baba, don't get involved in politics, buy your doomsday prepper shit from me, your water filtration kits, and blah, blah, blah. | |
| And he would have had some integrity. | |
| Now that's all gone out the window because he's seen how profitable and popular it is to be a MAGA supporter. | |
| So now he's like, yeah, Trump might kids, but Kamala would have been worse. | |
| So what are you going to do about it? | |
| I mean, it's the most psychotic version of vote blue no matter who you could imagine. | |
| Where it's like, yeah, our guy is a pederist monster, but the other side is even worse. | |
| So we have to support your pederist monster. | |
| It's the only way to win. | |
| Vote head, especially if they're red. | |
| Right. | |
| Vote the red ped. | |
| Red ped is better than dead. | |
| I mean, that's just that's where we're at. | |
| That's where we're at in this country right now is just that kind of sick loyalty to this political party that gives us nothing. | |
| And they've got all the power. | |
| They control the media. | |
| They control the courts. | |
| They control the presidency and the Congress. | |
| They have everything. | |
| They can do whatever they want. | |
| And we're screwed. | |
| It sucks. | |
| It's really bad. | |
| And yet, like, I just, I don't see enough people actually training their fire on this situation. | |
| I don't see enough people attacking Republicans and actually calling them out for being the problem because it's just at the end of the day, they're like, oh, the Democrats nominated Hillary. | |
| They deserve to lose and blah, blah, blah. | |
| And it's like, no, we didn't deserve this. | |
| We truly didn't. | |
| Like, shut up. | |
| Like, just please stop talking about these things. | |
| It's so dumb. | |
| It's such a dumb waste of everyone's time. | |
| We've, we've, we, we did the things, the things happened. | |
| That's life. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So we had all that kind of fun stuff happening. | |
| And then, uh, what was I going to say? | |
| The Supreme Court screwed up everything. | |
| We had Republican angry stuff. | |
| There was one more topic on the agenda that I had, but my senile brain. | |
| Oh, I completely remembered. | |
| I remembered something that was not something that I brought up in the pregame meeting, but I remembered it now. | |
| Representative Luna, my favorite Republican. | |
| She's my girl because she's the one that talks about the Kennedy assassination and is stupid. | |
| She is talking about how this Russian who is a Putin stooge, this guy is literally just doing this shit because he knows that he's meddling with Americans and he's riling up QAnon. | |
| And that's what his job is. | |
| His name is Kirill Dmitriev. | |
| And Kirill has posted a bunch of stuff about Q-drops. | |
| He's posted stuff about a where we go one we go all. | |
| He's done all this kind of stuff. | |
| And QAnon is freaking out because they're like, oh my God, this guy who's in Putin's inner circle is totally pilled. | |
| And it's like, you do know that he's doing this just to fuck with you, right? | |
| You do know he's saying these things just because he knows you want to hear them and that this is an easy way for him to rile you up. | |
| He doesn't have to believe in any of this stuff. | |
| He just has to say it to get you, you gullible rubes, to buy into it. | |
| And he is a part of this movement that has gotten a rep Luna to freak out. | |
| And she is talking about how Russia is now going to release to her and her committee all of their documents regarding the Kennedy assassination. | |
| And they're going to help us unlock what happened to Kennedy. | |
| And how the Russians would know the truth is kind of a mystery because they, unless they killed him, that would be awesome. | |
| They were like, oh, yeah, by the way, the KGB totally whacked Kennedy. | |
| Here's the documentation. | |
| Here's the case officer who ordered it. | |
| Here's the assassins we snuck into Dallas. | |
| Here's how we got them out. | |
| Yep, tough shit. | |
| We killed Kennedy and you never knew about it. | |
| But I don't think that's the case. | |
| I don't think that's what they're going to say. | |
| Were you trying to get your attention, stuff? | |
| Why did Trump order the immediate release of the Amelia Earhart files? | |
| Like, y'all know I love Amelia. | |
| I didn't dig that deep into this because I, I just, it's current and it's happening. | |
| So I'm just kind of shutting myself off from almost everything. | |
| But why is he like from what you know, because you're kind of like a pundit, you know, like you, you know, like all the people that are like rasputining in his ear and stuff. | |
| Like which one of his supporters in that inner circle would be like, Amelia Earhart? | |
| Like it doesn't make sense. | |
| No earthly idea. | |
| Okay. | |
| There's no, there's no one I know who has any historical concern about that sort of thing. | |
| I wonder if it's that like that that pseudo archaeology group Tgar, because they they they hide behind a bunch of different like names and stuff like that. | |
| And they've been on the cover popular mechanics. | |
| That's how good of at fooling people they are. | |
| And I wonder if they like made a big donation to Trump or something. | |
| But releasing the files wouldn't work in their favor because all the files are going to say, hey, guess what? | |
| She ran out of gas and she plunged into the ocean. | |
| So I don't get it. | |
| It doesn't make any sense. | |
| Very weird. | |
| Anyway. | |
| Yeah, it is a very strange thing that one day they were like, by the way, here's the Amelia Earhart stuff. | |
| Boom. | |
| Totally declassified. | |
| We did it for you. | |
| I hope you're all happy now. | |
| And everyone's like, no, we're not. | |
| We want the Epstein stuff. | |
| What's going on? | |
| Why won't you give us the Epstein stuff, you scum? | |
| So that was, I mean, that's that, and that's still like what's going on there. | |
| But the delay there, the delay going on there is that they still are not swearing in the Democrat who won in Arizona, even though now she's the official certified winner in every way, shape, and form. | |
| And there's no reason, there's no logical reason for why Johnson would deny her being sworn in. | |
| And because again, she triggers the mess. | |
| The whole thing gets messy once she takes care of that business of becoming a certified congresswoman and is the 218th vote for the discharge petition. | |
| So we remain waiting for that. | |
| And we also are now like waiting to see what exactly gets released by the Russians to Representative Luna and the American Congress. | |
| I actually did have one, I don't know if he was QAnon, but he was definitely MAGA. | |
| I did have one idiot message me and talk about how we're going to find out that Israel killed Kennedy. | |
| And I was like, oh, yeah, I'm sure the Soviets are going to get right on the whole Israel killed Kennedy nonsense. | |
| That's never been the Soviets bag. | |
| The Russians were always trying to manipulate America into thinking our own government killed Kennedy because that made us look bad. | |
| And that hurt us. | |
| So that's what they wanted. | |
| But, oh, and by the way, for everybody, on Wednesday around eight o'clock, I'll be doing a Twitter space talking about the Kennedy assassination. | |
| If you haven't heard one of those before, join in. | |
| I will give you all the information about why Oswald did it. | |
| Anyone who's done one of those spaces before, they've heard the speech before, but it's an important speech. | |
| You should learn all the evidence against Lee Harvey Oswald because there's a fuck ton of it, which Oliver Stone and Rob Reiner and all the rest of the grifters who deny this stuff will not tell you about because that would ruin their fun. | |
| It would yuck their yum if we actually talked about the real facts of that case and what really happened. | |
| Because that ain't entertaining. | |
| That's not Chucky the typewriter blowing away the president. | |
| So yeah. | |
| My brain has melted. | |
| Is there anything on your mind, Steph? | |
| I'm just so glad that I have just been tuned out. | |
| When I'm hearing all the stuff you're rattling off on, I'm like, oh yeah, I need that third monitor. | |
| I need that third monitor. | |
| And I just need to never, ever, ever look at the news again. | |
| Yeah. | |
| God, that's depressing. | |
| Yep. | |
| That's how I feel about a lot of this kind of stuff. | |
| It's like, if you can't take it, you shouldn't, you shouldn't engage in this stuff. | |
| Like what we really need in America, and this is something I believe completely honestly, this is not some sort of like snark or sarcasm or anything. | |
| What we need is people who just are disengaged in politics completely. | |
| They don't deal with it when they see people wearing MAGA hats or whatever or talking about how great Trump is. | |
| They don't talk to them. | |
| They don't respond to them. | |
| But when it comes time to vote, they vote straight Democrat. | |
| And then you like, we need, we need a literal silent majority in this country. | |
| We need people who just aren't, aren't going to, they're not going to move. | |
| They're not going to move off of this. | |
| They're going to show up. | |
| They're going to vote Democrat. | |
| And they don't need to be influenced or nudged or pushed in that direction. | |
| They just need to intrinsically understand that Republicans are doing a terrible thing right now and they need to be stopped. | |
| And I think a very easy way to explain that is it is currently a big debate in the Republican Party if you should be aggressively pro-Hitler in public or not, which is alarming. | |
| It's a very alarming thing. | |
| It is not a thing that we should actually be having a discussion about. | |
| But here we are. | |
| And that is a thing that we are doing. | |
| And it really sucks. | |
| So I hope that it stops happening because that would be nice. | |
| It would be nice if we did not have this as one of our big concerns. | |
| I mean, we're talking about healthcare subsidies exploding and like cutting funding for cancer research and if we're going to go to war with Venezuela or not and all these kinds of things, all these really important issues inside our country. | |
| And on the other side of the aisle, we have people who are just saying, man, can we, I don't know, can we actually keep the Hitler conversations private? | |
| Or do we need to keep the Hitler conversations private? | |
| Can we go full Nazi and not lose too many votes? | |
| Will the media even call us out if we do? | |
| I mean, will the media be like, JD Vance takes a bold new stance on Hitler at the RNC when he accepts the Republican nomination? | |
| Is that where we're going to go? | |
| Because it feels like it. | |
| It feels like that's a possibility at this point. | |
| So it's not great. | |
| But that's where we're at. | |
| And it sucks. | |
| And it's not great. | |
| And that's all I got. | |
| I'm out. | |
| I'm spent. | |
| I've done all I can. | |
| I can do no more. | |
| I could babble on about some other stuff, but you're not here for that. | |
| And if you are, I'm sorry. | |
| But thank you all for listening. | |
| Thanks, everyone, for being here. | |
| Thanks for Steph and Eric for showing up. | |
| Appreciate everybody. | |
| Hopefully Haley will be around next week, or maybe we'll grab her for like a JFK styled episode about the Luna Russia conspiracy bullshit. | |
| If you enjoy the show, give us a five-star review wherever you listen to us. | |
| Go to patreon.com slash poker politics and give me money. | |
| And again, there was someone who re-upped and gave me a $2 subscription. | |
| And my brain melted because we kind of like threw this episode together, just seeing who was around to sign up. | |
| And I forgot again. | |
| But right now, I am stalling. | |
| I am aggressively stalling and trying to find that person and their donation. | |
| You want me to do a type five? | |
| No, no, no, please don't. | |
| That would be weird. | |
| That'd be very, it'd be very weird on our outro for us to suddenly start doing the Rasmutaz and all the jazz. | |
| So anyhow, I believe that was getting close, but I might not have been. | |
| Oh, there's nothing worse than the CPAP machine because the CPAP machine thing, it puts up the little graphic that's the same as the Patreon graphic for when you get a new subscriber. | |
| So it's like, look. | |
| And I'm like, oh, man. | |
| And it's like, no, we get it. | |
| We tricketed you. | |
| We made you think that that was a subscriber, but it was actually, you can get your CPAP machine for way less money than you thought you could. | |
| You're totally, totally winning out on the CPAP donations. | |
| But anyhow, thanks to you guys for helping us out with the donations. | |
| Appreciate you. | |
| Thanks to DJ Minimal Effort and Frosty for the bumps and the music that I accidentally remixed. | |
| Thank you all for listening. | |
| And I will talk to you all later. | |
| Oh, there she is. | |
| It's Penelope, Penelope D. You are the person who sent in that money and I promised I would thank you. | |
| And I finally did it in the most awkward and poor manner possible, but I still did it, so I win. |
