Starting point is 00:00:49 this and beyond and beyond that's the new way that's how it works let's do it again from the top from the top
Starting point is 00:00:56 from the top here we go get in the game get in the game alright recording live from glory hole studios in Chicago
Starting point is 00:01:06 and beyond this boom you like that pause good everything nice inflection alright good
Starting point is 00:01:13 perfect perfect this is cognitive dissonance every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way we bring critical thinking
Starting point is 00:01:21 skepticism and irreverence to any topic that makes the news makes it big or makes us mad. It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome mat. This is episode 562 of Cognitive Dissonance, and this is the, you know, maybe you shouldn't have shorted GameStop episode. You know, maybe
Starting point is 00:01:46 a little oopsie daisy on that. GameStop, by the way, totally worth $300 plus a share. That is a sustainable position to hold at no point. When they go up to
Starting point is 00:02:04 the guy, they go up to the hedge fund manager and the hedge fund manager looks at me and says, well, you know, I know it's $350. You bought it for $350, but the best I could do is like this old Mike Tyson CD. Trade it in. Try to trade your GameStop stock in.
Starting point is 00:02:23 And the best they could do is like, I don't know, if you bundle three or four of them together, Try to trade your GameStop stock in. And the best they could do is like, I don't know, if you bundle three or four of them together, I might be able to take $10 off this new console. I'm reminded, there was an old Simpsons episode that was like joking about the collapse of the tech stock with the tech boom,
Starting point is 00:02:38 when the tech bubble burst. And as it was happening, they're trying to pay Lisa and Barton, whatever. They're trying to pay them in stocks. I'll just grab a roll of stock off the wall. Take it off the wall like toilet paper. Exactly, man. Because that's what it's fucking worth.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Exactly, man. It was an interesting week for GameStop. We're not going to get too far into it, but it's an interesting week for GameStop. It looks like there was some Reddit related activism, which burned some hedge fund managers. Yeah. Which is great. You know, anytime billionaires lose billions, I sort of giggle. I'm not going to lie. There's a part of me that giggles. I giggled the fuck out of some giggle. So they're still winning though. I do want to point out the billionaires are still winning. Yeah, the billionaires. Super winning right now.
Starting point is 00:03:29 The billionaires are wiping their tears with yachts right now. Yeah, right. It is funny. Not funny because it's not, but I do laugh when it's like,
Starting point is 00:03:38 ah, it cost that guy a million. If you cost me a million dollars, I'm bankrupt and I owe you about a million dollars. I owe you $9 a million dollars. I'm bankrupt and I owe you about a million dollars. I owe you $990,000. I'm in a lot of trouble, right?
Starting point is 00:03:51 So if you, if it's like I, if Tom gets a million dollar bill, Tom is short most of that bill. These guys are like, oh man, I lost a hundred million dollars. Now I only have like 900 million other dollars. These guys turn their sofas over and find more money than that.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Are you kidding me? There's more in their Bugatti, you know, in your car, how you have a little thing where you press down and put dimes in or whatever. They just have briefcases. There's a briefcase dispenser that just shits out million dollar bills to pay. It's just full of bitcoins instead of dimes.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Oh man. Never underestimate the staggering wealth inequality guys. We didn't hurt them. I just want to point out you didn't hurt anybody. It's cute. It just want to point out, you didn't hurt anybody. It's cute. You didn't hurt anybody. It's cute. It's adorable.
Starting point is 00:04:47 It is. But this is akin to giving Mike Tyson a black eye. One, he's fucking used to it. Two, he still is going to kick your ass. Like, that's... Yeah. You are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid.
Starting point is 00:05:03 You are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid. And don't forget, you are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid. And don't forget, you are stupid. So Cecil, the big story in the political world is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who I do want to point the fuck out. We covered Marjorie Taylor Greene. You did. Fucking like before she was elected.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. And we covered her because she was saying crazy shit and she was supporting crazy shit back when she was just conspiracy theory barbie right yeah now now she's what's the guy with a good name we could maybe call her a q p doll q oh uh right that's good that's good oh That's good. Q, that's good. Oh, I like that. I like that. That's good. But Marjorie Taylor is amazingly stupid.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I mean, she's just such a dumb person. This is somebody who is a duly elected member of Congress now. I just want to point out that if you think that this ended or that this was like a cute, okay, well, you know, Trump's gone and how much damage. If there's any part of you that does not look at the world that we have created and fucking shudder, consider the next few stories we're going to talk about. Because this woman that we're talking about isn't one of those like crazy prophecy preachers that Cecil and I cover because it's cute and we laugh about it and they don't really have any effect on the world. This is in your, this fucker's in your Congress. This lady brought impeachment or tried to bring impeachment charges against Biden this week. I mean, she's an insane, she's an insane person.
Starting point is 00:06:43 She's the idiot who walked up the night of, rejected the election results with a thing on her face, a mask on her face that said censored or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, she's a fool. Let's go through these piece by piece. So this story comes from CNN. You can find it also literally anywhere. Just anywhere, as you can with most of these stories. From CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing, executing prominent
Starting point is 00:07:15 Democrats in 2018 and 2019. I said those dates specifically because there was a story that I did not grab because I didn't like it, because it didn't seem relevant. But now I'm going to talk about it. There was a story, and I think it was Hawley, maybe. I don't even remember because I didn't- Josh Hawley, maybe. Josh Hawley, who when he was like 15, he wrote an essay in support of the Oklahoma City bombings, in support of those bombers. Okay. And Cecil, I didn't put that in the show notes because he was 15. Yeah. And you know, when I was 15, I intentionally took stupid, ill-advised, poorly considered positions on
Starting point is 00:07:59 any number of topics when I was writing dumb ass essays for school because, you know, it's contrarian and it's like, whoa, dude, kind of stupid shit. Right. I wrote, I wrote, I wrote a story one time we, we had the tests that they were giving us from the state, right? They were giving us tests from the state. We had to do this. You had to stop doing everything for the whole day and you had to do your tests. Well, we're doing tests for the state. And the guy passed us a mile. We had to write a nonfiction essay. And I wrote an essay about how I blew up Chernobyl. He was so mad at me. He was so furious because he had to grade him and send him in. He was like, you totally, because it wasn't a graded thing. He said it beforehand. And I said,
Starting point is 00:08:43 I don't give a shit if it's not graded. I'm going to write whatever I want. And he said, you were supposed to write a nonfiction essay. I said, prove it's not nonfiction. Prove to me it's not nonfiction. I was like, you can't prove it's not nonfiction.
Starting point is 00:08:55 But I was an asshole when I was a kid. And this was four grades. When I was in high school, for all of high school, all four years of high school, I was very competitive with my closest friend. And one of the things we would do is we would give each other, we'd be like, oh, you got this English essay you got to write or this whatever essay you got to write. All right, you have to write your English essay about catcher in the rye, but you have to include
Starting point is 00:09:18 scratch and sniff sticker and granola bars. Those two phrases have to appear somewhere in your essay. And we would have this contest where we'd give each other, like fucking chopped, like the cooking show Chopped. Sure. Here's a horrible ingredient. Make something good out of it. And then we would compare our essay scores because we'd basically be handicapping the other guy
Starting point is 00:09:40 with something stupid he'd have to put in his essay. Sure, sure. Why? Because we're fucking whatever age and you're just an asshole you're just a stick yeah so i didn't include it right i get it i get it i i also feel the same way when you talk about a 15 year old right i don't feel like you're fully cooked yet i feel like sometimes they do 15 people people that age do shit that they you know i know i did some stupid shit at that age and I know other people do stupid shit at that age. I get it. Now, don't get me wrong. The guy grew up to
Starting point is 00:10:08 be an asshole. Like, I mean, don't get me wrong. Yeah. He didn't grow out of it, but I just like, I just don't feel like it's appropriate to indict somebody on the actions from their early to mid teens for guys. It's just a bad. So I wouldn't do it. And the reason I bring that up is to say the shit from Marjorie Taylor Greene, where she's supporting executing Democrats, that's from 2018 and 2019, guys. It's not old news. That's a year or two years ago.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah, that's a year or two years. This is not like, oh, well, but you know, I've had so much time. This was basically like an hour ago. Sure. In a grownup's life? Yeah. 2019?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah. So in one post from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said, quote, a bullet to the head would be quicker to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who in her eyes were part of the deep state working against Trump. Green wrote in 2018 about the Iran deal saying, now do we get to hang them? Meaning H and O referring to Hillary and Obama. Talking about fucking hanging people. Later, she said, the stage is set. Players are
Starting point is 00:11:19 being put into place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges will let them off. This is a violently minded conspiracy thinker. Violently minded. This is somebody who supports the murder of not just politicians, but of our security forces, the FBI. Who's, what the fuck? We cannot, this person got fucking elected. This is the 14th District
Starting point is 00:11:51 Congressional Representative in Georgia. They are there right now. They're not getting fired. They're not getting kicked the fuck out. They might get removed from some committee assignments. Yeah. That's it.
Starting point is 00:12:03 That's it. This person supports murder of political opponents because she believes presumably in her heart of hearts that like that would be a morally justifiable thing to do. Yeah, we should kill the FBI agents. We just fucking kill those guys. Her defense
Starting point is 00:12:18 is that other people were in control of her social media. And I will say this, you know, there are other people in control of her social media. And I will say this, there are other people in control of our social media sometimes. I mean, most of the time, in fact, other people are in control of our social media.
Starting point is 00:12:34 So for this show. But I'm not in fucking Congress, right? I'm not running for Congress. So yeah, there may be a tweet out there of some kind of pornographic or whatever kind of something that was posted or even liked by us, right? Where somebody said something horrible or did something. There's a great possibility, but here's the chances of me getting in Congress. Zero fucking chances. I don't have a chance to get in Congress.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I'm not going to Congress. I'm never going to be a representative. I'm not going to be a state representative. I'm not going to be a dog catcher. I'm not going to be a meter maid, man. Never, ever, ever because of this show. So don't get the fuck out of here with that shit. If that's the case and you're saying that, that's your problem.
Starting point is 00:13:18 It's on you. Because guess what? Guess what? Every other person in the world would get fired for that. Every single person. If I go to work and somebody looks on my, you know, and I have a show page for this and I go to work and somebody finds it and sees that I like something that they don't agree with and the values at my work, I get fired for that.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Everybody gets fired for that except for people who get voted in office. Yeah. Also, I think that's total bullshit, right? Here's another couple of key differences, Cecil. So I think that's total bullshit, right? Here's another couple of key differences, Cecil. One, if you and I found out somebody liked or made a, if we found out about that, we'd fire that fucking person.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And then later, if we were called out on the carpet, we could say, yeah, that was fucking Joe what the fuck. And it happened in May and I fired that fucking guy. And here's evidence that I fired that fucking guy, right? Because- Ian, listening. Wait, because if somebody does something awful and they're supposed to represent you and it's fucking awful, you fire them. Yeah. Also, this is a show page, right? It's not Tom's page. It's not Cecil's page. This wasn't a page for people who support Marjorie retailer green. This wasn't a Facebook page called, um, candidate
Starting point is 00:14:26 hoping this was a personally represented page, right? It was not a page that appeared to be anything other than personally represented. So I don't fucking buy it. I don't fucking buy it. I don't buy it either. And even if it were true, her responsibility then would be to say, yeah, you know what? Other people were managing my page. I found out about that and I fucking fired him and here's who it was. And it was Joe McRacist. And I fired that fucking guy. And here's evidence.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I did it. Boom. I'd forgive that shit in a second. I'd be like, yeah, sometimes we all make bad hires. What are you going to do? There's nothing you can do about that.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I get it. But, but this woman, she is fucking crazy sauce from the very beginning, man. She's a nutty lady. And she's also, Tom, the one thing that makes me nuts about this lady is she's a fucking representative in government. She's in Congress right now.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And she is genuinely one of the stupidest people I've ever heard speak. And she's fucking, she's not just stupid. She's like confidently stupid. She's one of those people that are like. That's the worst, man. Right? It's the worst. We're going to cover a couple of stories in a minute
Starting point is 00:15:31 where she's so confident she's right about something and she's a hundred percent wrong about it. Yeah, I know. She is literally walking, breathing, Dunning-Kruger. That's what she, I mean, she is. She's a, she is. She thinks she's the smartest person in the room while simultaneously being the dumbest person in the room. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:15:52 The other thing is like, she says like this is somebody else that was managing her. It's not inconsistent with your current beliefs. Right, exactly. Like, why would you say that? That's like somebody from the KKK being like, hey man, you like that N word. Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I say it all the time. Right. Yeah. I would, if you have a history of entirely contradictory behavior and then all of a sudden there's like this weird post out of nowhere and this flurry of likes on a Tuesday
Starting point is 00:16:18 and then you said, man, somebody got a hold of my page, I would be more prone. I'd be like, yeah, all right. You know, if all of a sudden Cecil's page, just all these fucking like rebel flags show up next Tuesday, I would not call Cecil and say, holy shit, dude, are you now a fucking Confederate racist? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:16:36 I would call Cecil and say, holy shit, dude, someone done hijacked your page, bro. Exactly. And the same thing goes for, you know, when Ted Cruz liked incest porn, everybody knew it was Ted Cruz. Nobody thought it was Ted Cruz. There was nobody out there who didn't think, there was nobody out there when he threw the staffer story out there.
Starting point is 00:16:54 There was nobody out there who thought there was a staffer. Everybody knew he threw a staffer at the bus. Everyone knew it. So here's another story. This one's from Huffington Post. Marjorie Taylor Greene theorized
Starting point is 00:17:06 space laser beam you gotta read this sparked California wildfire you gotta read part of this you gotta read part of this Tom if not part of it all of it
Starting point is 00:17:14 another unearthed post from representative not fired Marjorie remember we fired a lot of other people yeah not Marjorie Taylor Greene
Starting point is 00:17:23 post from representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's Facebook page shows that her taste for conspiracy theories knows no bounds. In a post that the Watchdog group Media Matter uncovered Thursday, the Georgia representative posited that solar energy collected in space and beamed back to Earth is what sparked California's worst wildfire. So, like, picture a new sound. is what sparked California's worst wildfire. So like- Did it make a pew-pew sound? I didn't notice the enormous magnifying glass that the space ants were holding over Earth at that moment. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:18:00 You're genuinely the stupidest person on Earth. You are the dumbest human being. Fuck, man. I'm going to read something from the actual post, okay? So it says, As there are now over 70 people confirmed dead and over 1,000 missing, the fires in California are a horrific tragedy. I'm praying for all involved.
Starting point is 00:18:19 This is a long fucking post. I'm not going to read the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. I'm posting this in speculation because there are too many coincidences to ignore. And I read that and I thought, you shouldn't post speculative shit like this based on coinkydinks.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Are you fucking kidding me? Right. Okay. And just putting it out there, we need to stop just putting shit out there. Like if you're just putting stuff out there is the same as just saying when you insult somebody, right? Like you're a fat piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Just saying it is what it is. Just put it out there. Just saying, look, you're allowed to insult somebody if you put a winky face after it. That's how it works. Just put it out there from some research. I've done, stemming from my curiosity over PG&E stocks.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Procter Gamble, right? What? Which tanked all week, then rallied Thursday night after California officials announced they would not let PG&E fail. I find it very interesting that Roger Kimmel on the board of directors of PG&E- Okay, what? No, no. Here, I got to keep going because this is amazing. Is also vice chairman of Rothschild
Starting point is 00:19:32 international investment banking firm. Guys, we started with wildfires. I want to say- You voted for this. Georgia. Wildfires. Georgia. Georgia.
Starting point is 00:19:43 What the fuck, Georgia? You voted for this, man man This reads like David Icke Don't get me wrong There was nobody running against her She was unopposed But still Why was she unopposed? Somebody voted for her
Starting point is 00:19:54 You couldn't find anybody You looked at this woman You're like Well gosh Nobody else around this district Got the Got the chops to beat that You could put a donkey in a sombrero and she beats this
Starting point is 00:20:07 like, are you kidding me? Get the fuck out of here. And I also find it interesting the long history of financial contributions that PG&E has made to Jerry Brown over the years and millions spent lobbying. What a coincidence. It must be that Governor Brown signed a bill in September of 2008 protecting. So this is again. We started with wildfires, guys. I'm going to skim because holy shit. This reads like David Icke. She's skipping a stone.
Starting point is 00:20:33 She's genuinely skipping a stone over all these other weird disparate points to try to make one point. Yeah. And what are the odds that Feinstein's husband, Richard Bloom, is the contractor to the rail project? Geez, with that much money, we could build three U.S. southern border walls. Then, oddly, there are all these people who have said they saw what looked like lasers. Lasers or blue beams of white causing the fires and pictures and videos. When she said laser, Tom, did she do the scare quotes like Dr. Evil?
Starting point is 00:21:05 Laser. Laser. Did she do that? The space lasers were attached to space sharks, guys. They were attached to... They came from the sky in space tornadoes.
Starting point is 00:21:19 They were genetically engineered at Procter & Gamble by the fucking Rothschilds to shoot frigging laser beams. Frigging laser beams. That's so stupid. This person is in Congress. You're such a stupid lady. You're a stupid lady.
Starting point is 00:21:34 You're a genuinely stupid person. I just want to say right now, there are people unemployed, and this woman is in Congress. This woman shouldn't work anywhere. She should work. No, and that's a great question. Tell me what you think this woman could possibly be qualified for. You know, that's funny because the first thing, the only thing that I thought of when you asked that question was, she could be one of those people that gets hired to sit in the passenger seat so you can go through the carpool lane,
Starting point is 00:22:06 but only if she would agree to shut the fuck up the whole time. You know, when I look at her neck, I think she might be able to own a CrossFit box. I think that might be a good... Drop the gun! I know you're too stupid to get this, but you're really fucking this up right now.
Starting point is 00:22:20 You fucking moron. You're a fucking moron. You fucking idiot. You're a serious fucking idiot. Dumb as a bag of sand. What an idiot. You're the dumbest thing i've ever laid eyes on what an idiot sister it comes from vice uh marjorie taylor green believes in frazzle drip is that I know what this is this is when you go to the doctor because your dick is a little leaky
Starting point is 00:22:56 after fucking a fraggle I got the frazzle drip you got a shot for the frazzle drip it's like, it's when you think you're finished shaking off, but you're like stressed and in a hurry and you put it back and you're like, oh man, I got, I was all frazzled.
Starting point is 00:23:12 It's a frazzle drip. I got frazzle drip now. I have a fucking frazzle drip. I got frazzle drip. God, I got to untuck my shirt now. It's a whole thing. Marjorie Taylor Greene believes in frazzle drip, QAnon's wildest conspiracy theory.
Starting point is 00:23:27 So, frazzle drip, Cecil. Let me read to you what fucking frazzle drip is. Down on frazzle drip. This is the theory. A video that was found on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, the former Democratic congressman. This is so good. This is so good. This is so good. Who was caught, he was sent to jail in 17
Starting point is 00:23:48 for sexting with a minor. So there's a video on his laptop that began circulating on the dark web. The video was found in a folder on the laptop's hard drive called Life Insurance and was named Frazzle Drip. This is also none of this happened.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Let me just say if you're naming porn files, don't name it a weird name. Call it something so boring. Budget reconciliation documents. Accounting documents. Call it something boring.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Don't call it something weird. Don't call it something boring. Don't call it something weird. Don't call it something cute. Don't call it something cute kooky. Don't do that. This thing I don't want anyone to be curious about, I'll leave it a mysterious name. What is with your fascination with my secret closet of forbidden
Starting point is 00:24:40 mystery? In fact, name every single thing that is a porn file, a number and two girls, one cup. That way, nobody ever opens it.
Starting point is 00:24:50 No one would ever open it. Right. And you could just have two girls, one cup, two, two girls, one cup,
Starting point is 00:24:55 three, two girls, one cup, four. Name all your regular files shit like that. Just like all your regular files on your computer
Starting point is 00:25:03 should be like lemon party, two girls, one cup. Someone comes up, opens up your computer, be like Lemon Party, Two Girls, One Cup. Someone comes and opens up your computer, they're like, hold on a second. You have a Word document called Two Girls, One Cup? What could possibly be in a Word document? Fuck you, it's a fan fiction.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Whatever. It's A-S-C-I-I-R. Get the fuck out of here. Anyway, back to Frazzle Trip time. Back to this fucking highbrow fucking news show that talks about frazzled go ahead no the floor is yours tom this is for real the bogus report says the video which to be clear does not exist on the dark web or anywhere else doesn't exist right it's all bullshit. Made up. Shows Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin, Weiner's former wife.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I may have mispronounced that. Yeah. A longtime Clinton aide raping and mutilating a young girl. Specifically, the video is supposed to show Clinton filleting the young girl's face and then taking turns with Abedin to wear the girl's face as a mask in order to purposely terrify the child. This is the part that made me laugh out loud. You don't have to wear it.
Starting point is 00:26:10 If you fillet my face, I'm already scared. I've reached the maximum level of fear. I don't care. You can take my face and turn it into a fucking kite and fly it outside my window. I'm not more afraid. I just think you're fucking weird too. I look out every time they talk about when I read this,
Starting point is 00:26:30 I think of Dwight Schrute cutting the face off of the doll, the CPR dummy that he cuts the face off of and he's wearing it around the office like it's fucking hilarious. Like that's what I think. You know who this lady is?
Starting point is 00:26:42 This Marjorie Taylor Greene is fucking representative Liz Crokin because Liz Crokin believes this too. Also has a thick neck. It does have a weird... In order to purposely terrify the child so that her blood would be flooded with adrenochrome.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Oh yeah. Again, there would be plenty of adrenochrome. Yeah, no, you're good. It's plenty to go around. It's literally shooting out her face at that point. Where her face used to be, I guess, yeah. And taking her face.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And then, the thing is, like, if it's honorable, you have to make sure to save face. So, you don't want to get rid of it. They fold up the face and put it in their wallet. Sorry, I saved that. I saved that face. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:27 the irony is in the background of this video, Face Off was playing. Yeah. Just like in the background, just as a little homage, a little also, weirdly,
Starting point is 00:27:36 Nick Cage was in the room. It's so stupid. It's such a stupid, stupid, stupid thing. Yeah. So the conspiracy theory also includes the rumor that multiple officers from the New York Police Department who saw the video have been killed by Clinton, who then covered up the murders by making those look like suicides. Okay. That's frazzledrip.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Right. That's frazzledrip. One question, though. Did she cut their faces off and make it look like they cut their own faces off as a suicide? Because that's really good if she did that, yeah. She fucking believes this shit.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed a conspiracy theory. She says, here's the thing. There's somebody in this post that says this is the mother of a new NYPD officer who watched a horrific video, sees on Anthony Weiner's laptop of Huma and Hillary flanging child's face. This was another Hillary hit.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Then Marjorie says, yes, familia. I post things sometimes to see who knows things. Most of the time people don't. I'm glad to see your comment. I've decided it's time to start doing a lot more videos and engage further in the fight. Most people don't honestly know so much. The mainstream media disinformation warfare has won for too long.
Starting point is 00:28:53 This is your craziest friend or uncle or aunt or- No, no, no. It's even worse than that, Tom. It's the crazy person your crazy aunt thinks is crazy. That's true. That's what she is. She's not just a crazy person you know. thinks is crazy. That's true. That's what she is. She's not just a crazy person you know. I literally don't know anybody like this.
Starting point is 00:29:09 No, no, no. I don't know anybody like this either. I'm not sure. I'm six degrees of separation to somebody this fucking crazy, to be perfectly frank with you. I mean, she is that fucking nuts. And she's in Congress, man.
Starting point is 00:29:22 In Congress right now. Yep. Yep. She's in Congress. You know what? I'm just curious. And I know you've said it before In Congress right now. Yep. Yep. She's in Congress. You know what? I'm just curious. And I know, I know you said it before. I know you said it before.
Starting point is 00:29:30 There's got to be some kind of test, man. There's got to be some kind of test. There's got to be something. Because I guarantee you, you sit this woman down and you give her a basic fucking high school fucking civics test and she'd fail it. Yep. school fucking civics test and she'd fail it. Yep. I am becoming more and more convinced that there must be a test for information literacy that simply has got to be, you know, do you remember in high school having to take a civics test? You had to pass a basic civics test. Yeah. There needs to be an information literacy test and it needs to be mandated and everybody needs to pass it.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And like, we should have that as like a condition of employment. If you're just, if you're hiring somebody for anything, I don't care what, because we need to create incentives, carrots for people to learn how to become information literate because we are losing this battle.
Starting point is 00:30:22 We are losing the battle against disinformation. Every single day, this is getting worse. It's accelerating out of fucking control. And I don't know what we got to do to stop it, but I know that there needs to be real measures in place that create incentives for people to become literate. And it can't be just the next generation because the generation that's currently online right now, they don't have these skills. We know they don't have these skills because they've demonstrated.
Starting point is 00:30:50 The 2016 to 2020 is proof in the pudding that the current people walking around in the world do not have the skills to manage the information that they're getting. We've got to create a social system of incentives so that people become information literate or we are fucked. We've got to create a social system of incentives so that people become information literate or we are fucked. We are absolutely fucked, man. And I want to say too, you know, there's a lot of people who talk about representation, right? When we talk about,
Starting point is 00:31:17 you know, seeing a black actor in a movie and we say that representation is important. We hear that all the time. And it is. It's very important, right? You see a black superhero, a woman superhero, those types of things are very important. Understand this. There's also a negative to representation. And the fact is, is that all those dumb people who follow Q, all those dumb people who think that the world is run by conspiracy theory, they have representation, right? They see that somebody who thinks the same things they do can make it really far in the world. They can be a congressperson. We shouldn't let this happen. That's the bad side of representation,
Starting point is 00:31:57 right? When somebody's so dumb, that's why Trump was such a horror because he showed all the dumb people in the world that there are no limits for you. There should be limits for you, man. Yeah, your star should not rise. Your star should chunk up against a concrete ceiling and flounder and flap like a fucking deflating balloon until it putters back down to the ground. There should never be someone as stupid as Trump in office again. It should never happen. be someone as stupid as Trump in office again. It should never happen. He's proved time and time again how inept he was, how lazy he was, how he literally, he would get furious when people would
Starting point is 00:32:31 fucking talk about stuff he didn't want to hear. He was a fucking idiot. He was genuinely a stupid person and he fucked this nation up. Look at where we're fucking digging out fucking COVID bodies. We could stack them up so fucking high. There's more than a World War II loss of COVID deaths in this country right now. Don't tell me that none of that shit matters. It absolutely matters. It mattered at the worst possible time. We had the stupidest person in the world at the
Starting point is 00:32:56 worst possible time in charge. And this is the exact same thing. The stupidest person in the world right now is standing on the fucking floor of the house that has just as many rights as all the rest of those house members. Yeah, this motherfucker is taking $174,000 of your taxpayer dollars, by the way, every year. That's her salary. It's a salary for an incoming freshman congressperson, $174,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Just because she's stupid doesn't mean she gets paid less. Yeah. She's getting paid. Think about all the fucking unemployed people Right now This person's making $174,000 a year And she is this fucking Absolutely abjectly stupid
Starting point is 00:33:35 We can't let this continue We seriously have to do tangible Active things Yo facts This ad hits different fam It's Valentina Day Active things.

Starting point is 00:34:55 honey why are you being so mean to me because you're too thick to even fall under my spell and you got no class so this is another Marjorie Taylor Greene story. This is not just misinformed. It's also racist. Yeah. Marjorie Taylor Greene tried to force Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to retake their oaths on a Bible in a resurfaced video. So this fucking numbnuts was wandering about basically saying like, well, they, they swore on a Quran and you can't swear on a Quran. You have to swear on a Bible and we're going to make them swear on a
Starting point is 00:35:30 Bible because otherwise they don't, they're not, they're not really genuinely sworn in. Their oaths don't matter. Again, what I said earlier, confidently stupid, very, very confidently walking around as if she knows what she's talking about literally and and the thing is is like i don't know how stupid she is does she just think that she says something and that it's the law now i don't i how fucking dumb do you have to be to walk around and think that yeah there's never been a law that requires them to take the oath of office with a book yeah of any you don't have to have a book. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:05 The constitution states no religious test shall ever be required as qualification of any office or public trust under the United States. That's what it says. That's a quote from the constitution. All she wanted to do was shame them for being different. That's all she wanted to do. She wanted to publicly shame them for being different. That's all she wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:36:24 The implication is also that they do not have America's best interests at heart because they're Muslim. Right. The implication is that we need to basically force these people to violate their religious beliefs because if they don't,
Starting point is 00:36:41 these are basically deep state Muslim actors. That's the reason she's afraid of it otherwise what is what do you fucking care what do you care why would you why does this bother you yeah it's not because oh i hold on a minute there's some procedural element that you forgot about and as a fucking yokel ass citizen because this is before she was elected she's a fucking yokel this is is, this is like congressional racist citizen's arrest, Cecil.
Starting point is 00:37:06 It is. Exactly. She has one bullet. She's Gomer Pyle. Santa's in the radius. That's what she's doing. She's running around like Gomer Pyle.
Starting point is 00:37:15 It's ridiculous. How is this person in Congress? Okay, Tom. Yep. What book do you swear on? If I have to swear on a book? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Oh, I don't know. Do you know offhand? What book would you swear on? If I have to swear on a book? Yeah. I don't know. Do you know offhand? What book would you swear on? I feel really on the moment right now. Demon Haunted World. Demon Haunted World would be a good one. I would do Demon Haunted World, I think. Demon Haunted World,
Starting point is 00:37:36 because that would fucking make people so mad and it would definitely tick off every single fucking evangelical in the country. They'd be furious that I swore on a demon. They would call it a demon book. It would be the best, man. Oh, they would be so confused. It would be the best.
Starting point is 00:37:50 It would be the best. I actually, I might steal your answer because it's so good. Not only is it a skeptic book, but it's also a fucking book that people would misconstrue the title for. It's amazing. That's really good. Yeah. It scared the shit out of him.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Yeah. What about, don't you have like a favorite like novel or something? Couldn't you do it on a novel? I mean like, Grendel is my favorite novel. It'd be weird to swear on it though.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Because like, it's weird to swear on any book, Tom. Yeah, I know. That's why I was like, like my, immediately my first thought was like, well, I would just be fucking cute about it
Starting point is 00:38:21 and like swear on the dictionary and be like, I have all the words. I have all the best words. All right, audience, what book do you swear on? Let us know and tweet it at us or post it on Facebook and let us know. As I travel around this land of ours, one thought comes back to me again and again. These people are nuts!
Starting point is 00:38:42 This story is from Huffington Post. Just a matter of time. Just a fucking matter of time. Man arrested after allegedly injecting people with fake COVID-19 vaccine. And I guess when I say just a matter of time, this guy tried it pretty much right away. So this is a story about some motherfucker
Starting point is 00:38:57 who back in March saw the dollars in front of a pandemic. Saw the fear, turned it into dollars, pretended that he created his own home vaccine from like Joe's Discount Garage Vaccine Warehouse or whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 00:39:13 What do you have to buy at the Brew and Grow store to make your own home vaccine? Sorry, man. Hey, could you just point me to the vaccine aisle? What do you do? What do you do? What do you do?
Starting point is 00:39:26 You go to the place and they pull back a sheet and there's in the back room, there's the microscope section and the Petri dishes and the fucking Erlenmeyer flasks. I know that like we have this delusional belief that all the best ideas were started by like two best friends in
Starting point is 00:39:46 a garage who figured out the fucking secret to cold fusion or whatever. First of all, that's a bullshit origin story that if you believe you're an idiot, second of all, it's not ever, it's almost never true. That's all just marketing. That's not how science and fucking vaccines work. People who have vaccines, they don't have to post about it in fucking Facebook ads. They sold it. There's a picture from the five. If you go to the show notes, the HuffPo article has a picture of himself with this
Starting point is 00:40:16 weird shit-eating grin standing by the fucking hood like you would see at fucking ninth grade science class, holding up a vial and smiling like, I made a whole thing of apple juice. He sold this shit on Facebook. I wouldn't. The other day, Cecil, I'm going to tell you a Facebook story. The other day I was on Facebook and a friend of the show had posted this picture of these beautiful boots. And I saw these boots and I was like,
Starting point is 00:40:45 damn, I want to buy those boots. And I commented on it. He's like, no, do not buy these boots. This is a bullshit Facebook ad. Go to an entirely different company where you can find them where it's not bullshit. Dude, those steaks were boots. They were shoes, man.
Starting point is 00:41:02 They were, I wasn't injecting the shoes into my body. I was going to wear them on my feet. Oh, and let's be real clear here. People injected this into their body. Yeah, people sought this out. This isn't just, oh, somebody lost a little money and he never came through with the vaccine, which is just as bad, by the way,
Starting point is 00:41:21 because you're giving people false hope. But he's injecting people with this weird shit that he made in his fucking brewing gross store. I know. I know. The fuck? And he charged between $400 and $1,000. People traveled all over the place to get this stuff. And it's not like just random Joe whatever the schmuck traveled to get it.
Starting point is 00:41:42 The mayor of like San Jose City or something traveled to this guy. And that's dangerous, right? Because when leaders start supporting this kind of bullshit, there's often a trickle down effect. And also all these people who go out and get this bullshit vaccine, now they think they're vaccinated and they're clearly not careful scientific thinkers. So do you think they're going out and behaving like rationally given the pandemic they're going out and getting covid and we know that because some of them ended up hospitalized with fucking covid later yep yep
Starting point is 00:42:17 jesus it's unbelievable and this is and this is exactly this is exactly what we're talking about this is like literacy to understand that there's people out there that are going to try to hurt you. There are people out there who are going to try to trick you. They're going to try to fucking... And this guy fucking 100% is charlatan. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:36 These type of things are available on Facebook. Like Facebook didn't see this and somehow stop this. Thank you. Like this does continue to beg what has become the eternal question, which is, what is the responsibility of these platforms to the material
Starting point is 00:42:55 that exists on these platforms? You've got a guy who, and this is not, he didn't do this on the secure end-to-end, back-end messaging portion. This is out in the open, right. This is out in the open, right? This is out in the open. He's selling it.
Starting point is 00:43:09 And he's selling this shit saying like, look, it's government is not going to protect you. Like you, this post is on the site. His, his thing says the government is going to, going to protect you.
Starting point is 00:43:18 There's nothing you can do. This thing is going to take a long time. I synthesize this protein in my fucking discount garage lab warehouse or whatever. He said he made it, by the way, in half a day. He didn't even work a full eight hours on it, guys. I have binge-watched Breaking Bad longer than this guy took to fucking make a vaccine for COVID-19 in March.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Oh my God, dude. In March. Are you kidding me? I... Half a day? Half a fucking day? What the fuck are you even talking about? Half a day?
Starting point is 00:43:58 I banged it out and then took a nap, jerked off twice. What? One time I made duck confit and it took 72 hours. Also, also, I have to point out, he has additional Facebook pictures on here from people that took his fucking vaccine. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:18 First of all, he injects it into each arm. Yeah, sure. I don't know. I've had a lot of vaccines. Symmetry. Symmetry, Tom. Right? We got to get in the right...
Starting point is 00:44:27 First of all, it's two shots administered immediately concurrent with the other shots, but just with bilateral symmetry because that's how the... When it meets in the middle, it's like...
Starting point is 00:44:39 And then there's like a weird amount of bruising. Yeah. Because he's incompetent, Tom. That's why. That's why. Why would you post that picture? I've had, again, a lot of vaccines.
Starting point is 00:44:53 It's jabby in the arm. You can't see it. Maybe your arm is sore or there's like a little bump. You don't have bruising in your veins because they don't typically inject vaccines into your veins. You're not main lights. I'm fucking heroin. What the fuck? They come into the COVID vaccine, they're burning it in a fucking spoon over a candle.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Holy shit, he's chasing a dragon with that fucking COVID-19 vaccine. Hey, I already got the first booster in my arm. Can you shoot some between my toes? After the first one, man, it's never the same after that. That first hit, man, that first hit of the vaccine. You got this guy who's on his fourth dose of COVID vaccine
Starting point is 00:45:30 shooting it into his eyeball. He's like walking out on his fucking wife and kids to fucking spend his life fucking hustling on the street for COVID vaccine. Earlier in the day, he did ass to ass with another guy
Starting point is 00:45:43 just to get a dose. COVID vaccine. Earlier in the day, he did ass to ass with another guy just to get a dose. Jesus! What is happening, man? Why is this on your side face? You built algorithms to keep me fucking looking at your
Starting point is 00:45:58 shoe ads and whatever. Yeah, well, they built algorithms that if there's a boobie, you can't. Like, there's people who can report that shit. You know, I was just thinking to to myself i'll bet you that there's no way i could go on to ebay and and and within a uh uh a certain amount of time if i were to list say radioactive material i guarantee i would get a knock on my door right there's no way that that ebay would allow something like that yeah i the same thing like I couldn't become an Amazon seller, I'm sure, and be like,
Starting point is 00:46:26 I'm selling vials of COVID vaccine. Yeah. Right? And it's not because some human person, it's because they would just build an AI infrastructure
Starting point is 00:46:34 that looks for bullshit. Yeah. Why don't you have an AI infrastructure that looks for horrifying disinformation bullshit? What brings you to see the doctor? That is private.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Chronic obesity and pear-shaped figure. I am not pear-shaped. Take a seat, Mr. Bartlett. That's Sherman. So hospital incursions by COVID deniers putting lives at risk, say health leaders. So there's fucking people who think the COVID thing is a hoax and the vaccine is an attempt to control the population. And they're storming the hospitals at this point. They're going to the hospitals and they are actively interfering in the care
Starting point is 00:47:19 of patients. They're getting in the fucking way of staff, of medical professionals trying to give care to patients. Holy what the fuck. I'm going to read from here. There's a video in it, but I'm going to read from it. In the latest example of a growing trend, a group of people were ejected by security from a COVID-19 ward last week as one of them filmed staff claiming the virus was a hoax and demanding that a seriously ill patient be sent home.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Quote, he will die if he's taken from here. A consultant tells the man on footage. Yeah. Because the motherfucker is like on a ventilator.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Yeah. And he's sitting up. He wants to leave. They want to take him. But everybody's in the hole. Everybody who knows anything in the entire situation is saying he will die
Starting point is 00:48:01 if he leaves here. And then they're arguing and saying, well, he has oxygen at home. They're saying that he doesn't have this much oxygen. It's not the same oxygen. You can't just take him home and pretend that it's the same level of oxygen that he's going to get at home. It's not the same level of care, but people think that they just come in and say, well, it's not a real thing. They, the one guy argues with the doctor and says, oh, do you mean COVID-19 that was proven not to exist? Yeah. Well, then
Starting point is 00:48:25 they say, they say in this, the guy behind the camera says at one point, like the guy just needs to go home and have some vitamin C. Yep. He needs to have some vitamin C and some fucking multivitamins. Yep. And the guy's like, those aren't treatments for COVID. Yeah. What the fuck? What? No. This is, I mean, like the disinformation is such a fucking problem man yeah yeah it's such it like none of this had to happen none of this had to happen this is all the natural and inevitable result of a massive disinformation campaign by people who wanted to remain personally in charge i i i'm well that's the thing right this is happening right now and it's because we had such wishy-washy
Starting point is 00:49:09 bullshit messaging from the start we had, there were real doctors on the stage from the very beginning who were saying this is a horrible thing, it's going to fuck people up and you should really pay attention to it and the whole time because everybody was afraid that the stock market was going to crash, was hedging their
Starting point is 00:49:25 bets and talking all week. They were just using weak language or they weren't doing things or they were saying certain things weren't as important as other things. They were making decisions, medical decisions when they had no right to make those decisions. They were saying medical things when they had no background or any kind of knowledge on how to talk about it or even how to contend with it. And that happened from the top down in this country, all over this country. It wasn't just the president. It was the president and all the people who worked for him and all the people who worked in government all over this country and state governments and local governments and city governments. All over this country, there was so many people who wanted businesses to stay open.
Starting point is 00:50:06 And so they fucking made up something. And the right-wing media sycophants who not only helped to spread, but to amplify that story, the Tucker Carlson's and all the rest of the Hannity's and all the rest of those fucking monsters, all the rest of those absolute
Starting point is 00:50:20 fucking degenerate asshole monsters. Like we are really at a place of real existential crisis if we do not get back to both identifying who experts are and ensuring that we listen to experts. When you're talking about something like COVID, your local GP is not a fucking viral epidemiologist. Like your politician is not an expert, right? Expertise narrows as the world gets more complicated.
Starting point is 00:50:53 That's a really important thing to know. Expertise gets narrower and narrower as we learn more and as the world becomes a more complex place to live. There's no such thing as people that are experts in 12 different fields, like not really expert at it. That's why like you continue to, you know, refine and refine and refine your area of expertise
Starting point is 00:51:16 as your education goes deeper and further. There's a reason that that's necessary because all that education is what's required to take somebody from, you know, an educational level that has this broad base of expertise and to refine it deeper and deeper. The only people qualified should have been the CDC. It should have been like the World Health Organization.
Starting point is 00:51:37 It should have been viral epidemiologists. Those are the leaders in this field. Anyone who's not in that field is not a leader. They don't know what the fuck they should be listening to them. Expertise matters. Imagine if we did the same thing with if there was a tsunami coming in
Starting point is 00:51:52 where we said, well, we just want to keep the businesses open. Yeah, right. We understand it's going to be bad for business. They're probably going to get flooded out. So I want to sell some stuff
Starting point is 00:51:59 before it actually gets here. You know, the same thing I say, we don't do it with anything else except for the human body, right? We don't do this with anything else, we don't do it with anything else except for the human body, right? We don't do this with anything else. We don't do it with TV repair. We don't do it with fucking car repair.
Starting point is 00:52:10 We don't ever argue with the fucking guy who comes out and says, it's the fucking steering pump. We don't argue with that guy. He comes out and says, it's the, it's the fucking brake fluid or it's the fucking hoggly gook. And you say, sure,
Starting point is 00:52:22 whatever. And he says, I'll be $175,000. And then you pay him and you leave. That's how it works, right? When the guy comes in to fix my air conditioner, I don't say, well, are you sure? You know, you sure you don't want to splash a little vitamin C on it? I don't say that. I just fucking, whatever you say, bro. Sure. You think it's the fucking pipes that come up from here and go into there. And it's a pump that does this. I'm sure, you know, better than I do do i never fucking argue with that guy and the problem is is that none of the other people in the
Starting point is 00:52:49 world do that either that's but they seem to think that there is some way that they can argue with somebody who is fucking has medical knowledge that that somehow is a way like no you don't know come on you're just a doctor yeah well we we have been fooled by our access to information into believing that we are all able to become experts quickly on anything. Well, I can Google it. Yeah. I can Google it. I can look it up. You fucking cannot even approach the vocabulary. You cannot approach the vocabulary required to become an expert in almost any significant field. You can't Google your way into being a fucking geologist. You can't do it, right?
Starting point is 00:53:31 You can't. And the thing is, like, geologists will tell you, like, the idea of geologists isn't meaningful because there's so many subsets of geology and there's real differences between the knowledge bases from this kind of geologist to that other fucking kind of geologist. Because again, expertise narrows and narrows and narrows at the top until it becomes this really laser-focused thing. We have got to get over this bullshit idea that the democratization of information has created expertise in the populace.
Starting point is 00:54:02 It has done the opposite. It has absolutely done the opposite. Your ability to fucking Google baseball scores and read a handful of Wikipedia pages about historical figures and turn them into a podcast does not make you an expert. It's literally the joke of the opening of our other show. But we ourselves. Yeah. We're dying because of this. Yeah. 4,000 people a day. Your tsunami thing, man.
Starting point is 00:54:29 By the end of February, this will be a death toll in the United States equal to two of the tsunamis that happened. Remember the big-ass tsunami? In 2011 or whatever, 2010, I forget exactly
Starting point is 00:54:41 when it was. I forgot the year. I think it was the Christmas tsunami. The Christmas tsunami. In India. This will be equivalent by the end of February to that twice. Twice. And that was such, it was 2004. 2004 in the Indian Ocean. And there was 227,000, almost 228,000 people died. And all of that is because of the bad information.
Starting point is 00:55:06 That's why this is happening. It's the virus. Yes. But the information is what makes the virus spread. Yeah. That's what's making at this point. We know that is what's making it. This virus has gone viral.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Yeah. We know for sure. A hundred percent that we knew early on the masks helped. We knew that early on. Trump said it in a, in a, in a call. Trump said it was airborne in a call. We knew early on the masks helped. We knew that early on. Trump said it in a call. Trump said it was airborne in a call. We knew early on. Even if we didn't put the masks on till March,
Starting point is 00:55:33 even if in March all the messaging had shifted, there was a public recognition that we were wrong before, but here's what needs to happen now. And that message was strong and it was unified. In March,
Starting point is 00:55:44 if everybody had put on a fucking mask and worn the fucking mask, we wouldn't be here. Yeah. We just wouldn't be here. If we'd have been cautious throughout the whole time, we would have definitely not been here. Where are you going, brain? Back to the cage to plan for tomorrow night.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night? The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world without Larry. So this one's just a fucking giggle. This is from Rolling Stone. QAnon believers are pushing new Trump conspiracy theories on TikTok. This is amazing. They have not given up this fight. On the day of the election or the day of the inauguration, I posted something on I think it was on Twitter
Starting point is 00:56:29 and someone had came back to me and told me the March 4th date. They had said no, they're now pushing it up because I said to QAnon I said to QAnon people, I was like basically hey man, I know it's up, the gig is up but maybe it's time to come to reason essentially is what I said. And they said no, all the QAnon people have fucking moved the goalposts.
Starting point is 00:56:47 They think, here's the theory, guys. This is the craziest shit. So Biden is president, by the way. That happened. That ship has sailed. It's here. He's, you know, getting his cabinet confirmed right now. So, right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:02 getting his cabinet confirmed right now. TikTok users are propagating the idea that an obscure 1871 act made the United States a corporation and not a federal government, thus rendering any laws passed after that year
Starting point is 00:57:18 moot. Every law passed after 1871 is moot, according to them, and U.S. citizens are not subject to them. I will say, Tom, that really is making America great again. I mean, if you're back to then, oh my God, man. Think of how far we've come in that time. There's a lot of people that are going to be a little shocked
Starting point is 00:57:42 when they find out they're not citizens or can't vote. They can't. How are we? Okay. Anyway, according to this theory, women can't black people. Okay. According to this theory, the United States will revert back to its original form. Revert back to its original form.
Starting point is 00:57:58 We're not a Pikachu. Thank you. Fuck out of here. Thank you. Is Voltron going to disassemble back into the individual lions? Are you fucking kidding me? This isn't Dragon Ball Z. Get the shit out of here.
Starting point is 00:58:11 All of a sudden, we're just not going to have like, parts of America weren't even states in 1871. Like, big parts, huge parts of America weren't yet America. Okay. They believe the United States will revert back to its original form on March 4th, the day when presidents were inaugurated prior to the 1933 passage of the 20th Amendment, because that doesn't count. Neither does the 19th Amendment, which kind of would be... Anyway, they believe Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States,
Starting point is 00:58:45 which means that the last president this theory recognizes was Ulysses S. Grant. What I love is that also means that they do not recognize the last Trump presidency. Right, right. Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. What the fuck? Yeah. What?
Starting point is 00:59:04 He's going to be. yeah no you're right you're right what the fuck yeah what he's gonna be if he's gonna be the 19th president then he wasn't already the president they're just pulling out like that they're just being like that didn't count since 1871 this is fucking harold camping moving the goalposts again. Oh, did I say May 21st? I meant October 3rd. Like, what the fuck, man? You said the world was going to end. That's on you. Here's a great post. Listen, patriots, y'all can relax.
Starting point is 00:59:38 We're going back to a republic come March. Trump will be back in the presidency, but he will be the 19th president because we're not going to be a corporation no more. We're going back to the Republic, says some asshole on TikTok. Your boy will be inaugurated March 4th, period, point blank, end of story. This is said, by the way, by somebody with 78,000 followers with a video that has 15,400 views. One of the videos talking about this jibber jabber has 442,000 views. Well, that just means it's going to be 442,000 people really disappointed. They're going to be all sad. They're going to be shaking their TikTok phones, screaming at them.
Starting point is 01:00:21 You lied to me. You lied to me. Get the fuck out of here. These people have got to be trolling, right? These are trolls, right? Because you can't literally think this. These are... Cecil, I am unable to understand what people literally think anymore. We have a congresswoman
Starting point is 01:00:39 who thinks that space lasers started the California wildfire because the Rothschilds are alien brain. I mean, like I'm done. I'm done saying like, this is, it's so bizarre. It must be fake. Like we're at a place where I'm like, nah, nah, man. It's so bizarre. It must be the right. Yeah. I, you know, at a certain point I'm going to be, I'm going to, I'm going to agree with you and just say, yeah, you know what? Maybe they do mean it. Maybe they do mean it. I'm going to agree with you and just say, yeah, you know what?
Starting point is 01:01:04 Maybe they do mean it. Maybe they do mean it. Yeah. I used to think that we couldn't descend further into farce, and what we've done is we've descended into a level of chaos that's just scary. It's just existentially terrifying. What's interesting is that
Starting point is 01:01:19 we almost certainly practical joked ourselves into stupidity because you know some of this stuff early on was a practical joke. Q and all that stuff, you know that was done by trolls. There's no way that someone thought that was true. The first posts that came out about this were all practical joke posts meant to troll people, meant to trick people. That's what it was made for.
Starting point is 01:01:42 And so we practical joked ourselves into being dumber. We practical joked ourselves into an insurrection. Yeah, we did. Can you imagine there is a guy out there who was playing the Q role, who invented Q and threw it out there and they think they even know who it is. And like, he's just fucking around writing this fucking g and i have to genuinely wonder what that guy thinks and feels right now yeah like does he feel bad is he like happy of the chaos is he like is he weirded out is q still posting do you know his q still i don't know i don't know i wonder if he feels like the guy who stepped on the butterfly in the time machine and now nothing happened after that we're. It's all like lizard people
Starting point is 01:02:25 or something, you know. So we want to thank our patrons. Of course, we want to thank all our patrons. We want to thank our newest patrons, Jordan, Adam, Jonathan,

And so we want to thank everybody who pitches in every week to make sure this show is possible. We want to thank you so much. We got a message. Tom, this is from is it Loughton or Laughton? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:32 Loughton. I'm going to say Loughton because it looks like that. It is one of those. We got a message. This is erotica fiction. My Antifa lover. I read the weirdest Trump era erotica, so you don't have to. Oh, what terrible
Starting point is 01:03:48 is that? It's so great. And one of these is Trump's Twitter ban written by none other than Chuck Tingle. It's not just that. It's pounded in the butt by my handsome Trump's Twitter ban, by the way. It's not just Trump's Twitter ban. Oh, I misread it because I just saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:04 No, it's pounded in the butt by. So, yeah. So, by Chuck Tingle. You can check out our Chuck Tingle episode on Citation Needed. You can also check out our Burke and Wills episode
Starting point is 01:04:13 that just came out. Or Burke and Willis. It's up to you. It depends. It's a choose your own adventure, but the adventure still ends and everybody dies. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:20 And here's the thing. I don't need to know about your history. You're from underneath the planet. Like, I don't need to know about your history. You're from underneath the planet. I don't need to know about that. You guys died trying to figure out how to go north in your own house. That's your fault.
Starting point is 01:04:37 That's a little of your fault. These are not your heroes we were mocking, I guess. Yeah, we don't need to get their names right. They couldn't even find water. They ate a snake full of dysentery for crying out loud. The fuck out of here. I don't need to remember their names. I don't know anything about that.
Starting point is 01:04:54 I don't know anything about Lewis and Blark, whatever. It was Lewis and Clerk, wasn't it? And Silent Bob. It was Lewis and Clerk and Silent Bob. Lewis, Clerk, and Silent Bob. There Silent Bob. It was Lewis and Clark and Silent Bob. Lewis, Clark, and Silent Bob. There you go. Yeah. Lewis and Clarks.
Starting point is 01:05:09 Okay. We got a message and Craig said, yes, you were right. I didn't hear you on Skeptics of the Cape, but on Incredulous, the game show thingamabob they do. They don't do it all the time, though, Craig. I mean, let's not get crazy. They do it like the time though, Craig. I mean, let's not get crazy. They do it like once every two years. But yes, you're right. No, they have actually,
Starting point is 01:05:31 they've ramped up their production schedule. Since the pandemic. It's the pandemic has pushed them. Yeah, they did one in June and then they did one in December. So they, I mean, they've really, no, I'm fucking around. They did two in December and one in June.
Starting point is 01:05:48 One in June. Wow. So, I mean, they did, you know. It's a breakneck speed, those comedians. They had four episodes in 2020. I can't even download them fast enough. There's, they're about an hour long. They basically produced upwards of five hours
Starting point is 01:06:05 of entertainment last year. Wow. Congratulations, guys. That's really something. So we got a message, and this one is from Seth. It's a link to an article that says, Sarah Sanders, ex-Trump press secretary
Starting point is 01:06:20 to run for Arkansas governor. I want to correct the headline. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has never run to anything. And if she did, reverberations would be felt around the globe. Yeah, if you look over at your glass of water
Starting point is 01:06:35 and you see the ripples, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. It's Sarah Huckabee Sanders going to the fridge to see if there's leftovers. All I'm saying is her fucking eyesight is based on movement.
Starting point is 01:06:48 She does have predator eyes on each side of her head. Oh, amazing. She's fat. Oh, God. That's it. I only mean it in a mean way because I don't like her personally.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Can you run for governor if you live in multiple zip codes? We got a message from Matt and Matt says, a year ago, Fauci and Trump said the worst case scenario would be 400,000 deaths. Do you think there is even a mechanism or for your previous government to be held legally liable or prosecuted for their mismanagement of the pandemic response? And I want to say they sure as shit put fucking Hillary on a fucking Senate hearing when Benghazi happened. Yep. And there was, you know, a couple of people died.
Starting point is 01:07:41 What happens here? Yeah, nothing. We have, like, I will say to answer your question, there's no mechanism. We have mechanisms, but our government is broken. So nothing will happen. Got a message from
Starting point is 01:07:57 Rina, and Rina says, after the last episode, you mentioned Q and QAnon people that are involved people involved with q anon and there's a subreddit called rq anon casualties it's all one word uh and it's dedicated to those whose relatives friends or significant other fell into cure q with helpful resources that can help manage those that are dealing with mental issues or in otherwise in danger because of close Q believers.
Starting point is 01:08:25 So we'll put a link to it on this week's show notes. It's a Reddit called RQAnonCasualties. All right. So that is going to wrap it up for this week.
