Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of trending election news fake updates. I guess Nightmare on Trend Street.

Nightmare on Trend Street is a good one. Freddy's dead. Freddy's dead. I don't know. Or Trumpy's dead. Nightmare on Trend Street, Trumpy's dead. We're just going to workshop this live and that's going to be the whole episode. Thanks, guys. And that's been us.

We've been running on fumes the last few days. Thanks for bearing with us. I'm Jack. That's Miles. Yes. This is what is happening on Thursday night, Pacific time. Also, Thursday late night, Eastern. Still have no call as of yet,

even though it seems like Nevada is callable and Arizona has been called by the typically conservative AP. So, you know, I feel good. I feel good that it's going to get called. Well, every other indication. I feel good. I feel good that it's going to get called. Well, every other indication. There was one, I think, Forsyth County or something in Georgia where it was like a very red area where there were some mail votes coming in. And when they came in, Biden was winning the mail vote, even though he was getting blown out in the day of vote.

So indicators like that are like, the math is against this campaign right now. Right. So, yeah. yeah that's how we know there's fraud right right yeah yeah there's like it's wild because like just watching the uh 538 update like live blog they're having to every time they say something good happens for biden they have to like come in and be like but okay so we're getting a lot of pushback there uh people thinking that that's suspicious but we just have to explain that's actually not suspicious that biden just got a whole chunk of 100 biden votes because sometimes they report all one candidate at a time but it's just like you know they're shook because the the q anonization of the entire

reality uh infrastructure it all kind of blends one into the other really like yeah i mean should we talk about this press conference or even what q anon's talking about first because it all kind of works hand in hand at a certain level yeah yeah i mean the press conference i didn't even watch uh because uh not because i chose not to i have it recorded in case you tell me that it's worth watching uh but it's unnerving it's unsettling for sure because he goes up there and again like low energy you know what i mean like if you're gonna lie put your fucking chest into it like if you're gonna act like you're somebody stole something from you know i'm like i don't know i guess they stole something from me like you'd be like yeah these motherfuckers they're robbing me

blind but he doesn't have the energy for it and he goes out i mean somebody just lied his ass off the entire time where you know most news uh outlets were just like okay we're gonna cut in here because this is bad and i think most people were like you're doing that now only when we're on the doorstep of ushering this fucking asshole out that now you decide to actually call it what it is or interrupt like when we're people been screaming about that for fucking four years anyway very suspicious that uh in in the same way that facebook only pulled q anon content off of facebook like when it started looking like biden was gonna win uh i'm suspicious that these networks are now like oh he's not the president anymore he can't tell us what to do right um but that's that's when they

get brave is when it looks like he's not gonna be president anymore yeah and that's when you have looking anderson cooper with his like petty ass take he's like, it looks like an obese turtle flay. I'm like, dude, shut up. Like, really? Come on. Like, there's so many other things you could do to be much more insulting than to just be like, he's a overweight turtle. Be a bad, like, take guy on Twitter. Fuck off.

Anyway. Stop making fun of his appearance, guys. Yeah, there's so many. That's legitimately not our best. Make fun of his voice and how dumb he is so yeah this prize conference full of everything it was the greatest hits he just started off by saying if you count the illegal votes i win big time but then if you count the illegal votes they can steal the election and that's how they'll steal it with

the mail and it's like and he said that it was very low energy again and it's like oh oh you're really saying that okay and then you know just to be clear in case you have to break it down for somebody in your family or friend group there are no fucking new ballots that are appearing it's not like there's these things that are popping up and like oh shit we're hey man will you look under your couch cushions hold on you got 17 000 biden votes in there that's not what the fuck is going on they are having to go through a backlog of votes that still need to be counted in a year with a record turnout on top of mind you states like pennsylvania putting in these dumb ass regulations before the

election saying oh you can't count shit until the day of so it's all been intentionally over in the surprise yeah so what is the possible explanation for not counting the votes ahead of election day yeah i don't know i it really doesn't make sense but they did it and that's where we're at and now they want to act dumb about it when they're like what's going on in there they're telling us how many votes aren't counted yet too it's like they're saying okay there's 250 000 votes left and then they tell us once they count them like yeah closer now we're at 98 percent not quite there and then suddenly i'm losing votes is a lot yeah yeah so he then went on and said the polls were actually a

form of voter suppression uh when it is in fact he and his party who engages in the voter suppression. But saying that like, oh, you know, Biden was going to show that, you know, it was just going to blow me out. So that that's actually acts as voter suppression, because, you know, why are they going to they got it all wrong, completely wrong. It's like, but first of all, when you won, sir, you were tap dancing on every pollster's grave as well. And you weren't being like that was voter suppression. You were like, they got it wrong. But in this time it's like, so anyway, I think the lack of continuity to any of these arguments just make it really hard, even for like the most devoted people to be like, yeah. Right. It's just more like, we love you, man. I don't know what you're saying, but I'm going to get to you. I'm going to kind of tune it out. Cause it's kind of like

watching your dad get pants in front of everybody and he he can't get his pants on so you know then he said the the media democrats fucking tech companies he wrangled all into this have been like fabricating a reality in which he is losing didn't he specifically like bring up specific polls wasn't he like quinnipiac yeah he's yeah i don't know shit it's like okay thanks sir uh and just again you know when he sort of went on to talk about all the lawsuits and how it's just totally partisan and things like that um just so you know right it there are always campaign observers allowed to look at the vote counts that's that's never been contested the law they have been looking at them yes the. The lawsuits that he's filed in Pennsylvania and Michigan weren't about that.

They weren't allowed to enter. It was they were getting to the minutia of how close can the observers stand to the people who are counting the votes? Being like, well, we got to be able to fucking smell their neck hair to know if these if they're crooked or not. smell their neck hair to know if these if they're crooked or not so that's why the one in michigan was thrown out and the pennsylvania one was dismissed because like they were like this is dumb like what does this even mean because we're not arguing that you don't have access we all have access and we're agreeing both parties both campaigns are agreeing to a number of observers that can enter and when that happened they're like okay you're done please leave my court thank you uh and just count the votes yeah katie golden had a good tweet

she put it in these terms she said this is fraud i went to the grocery store and my bill was ten dollars at first and then they just kept adding to it by the end they charged me over ninety dollars for my groceries they just kept finding kid cuisines to quote charge me for that i had quote bought uh it's just like yeah man that's that's how it works like that's we're counting the boats kid cuisine is great uh did you fuck with kid cuisine when you're oh hell yeah dude kid cuisine that i'd hate to just take this podcast on a tangent but i have to i fucking loved that penguin man that was like i remember i had to beg my fucking mom to buy this because she's been she's anti-frozen food because she's you know rough and tumble from a post-world war two country it's like we didn't

have microwaves she's like forget go to the chop some wood so we can steam some rice uh so i i remember the first time i got it it was the worst fucking meal i had but i was so fucking happy to have my goofy little spaghetti dinner just something about that novelty i don't remember having a single good one of those they were all so bad in it and you're like yeah this is like i think this is just like pine tar for like a baseball team. This is the worst of everything we've ever had. And yet I will still put it in my veins. Yeah. The Lunchables.

What are you going to do? The Lunchables of dinner. What else is happening? What else? What else? What else? That's just good cuisine. So QAnon.

What's going on with QAnon right now Okay so we talked about Greg Gutfeld and how he was like No my dad's a cop He's gonna come back as Not the president Then you're really fucked And he's gonna go 3X platinum

And show Lady Gaga who's boss And then Tom York will actually list Donald Trump As an inspiration for all of his songs he wrote with Johnny Greenwood and Radiohead. So they're going on on some other shit. They're basically, they've quite possibly won the award for most pliable brain in terms of having to make sense of what is shaping up to be a re-election loss

for Donald Trump. They're on some, and I hate to slander the Sixers, but they're on some trust the process type shit where they're actually calling it trust the plan. That's like their mantra throughout everything's like, no, no, don't worry, man. Trust the plan. Trust the plan. Don't worry if if Trump is verifiably losing a vote count. Trust the plan. Now, buckle your fucking safety belts, because this is sort of the thinking that is happening in q world so in this version of reality the department of homeland security this is not this is not what's happening this is like the q anon believers are talking about dhs is actually making it look right now like democrats are winning um in order to bait them into committing more massive fraud and then they will catch them aha

and then the gulags yada yada yada oh now what do i mean by that now they're saying things like this is from uh a person who's a really cool q and on follower shout out to uh robin panacchi on uh wonkette for writing this up uh they're saying they're saying the fake pipe bomber provided that that's caesar sayoc the magna van guy they call saying the fake pipe bomber provided that that's caesar sayoc the magavan guy they call him the fake pipe bomber because they believe that was a deep state smear job just to make trump supporters look bad that's not just to make them look bad and not just because he sent bad pipe bombs that he thought were pipe bombs but weren't good enough yeah they're like which local pipe bomb make makers union was he part of uh so he's

going on saying that that provided context to flood broward county with dhs operatives that have had ample time to forensically mark every pre-printed ballot and set all video surveillance systems in place within broward county voting office imagine using a palantir ai in conjunction with fisa warrants and trump's 9.12.18 executive order to legally cross-reference social media profiles, texts, and calls of illegal voters swept up by FISA unmaskings. You don't have to tell me to imagine that. It's already up there. It's all happening in my brain.

So they're saying, I'm pretty sure Cesar Segal was, I think it was 2018 when that shit went down. Yeah. So these ballots have been pre they knew Joe Biden won the primary in how far in advance were these preprinted ballots that somehow Department of Homeland Security is in charge of. I don't understand. stand it's so frustrating because the lies they tell are the one it is like the you know the person you know who lies just like who's addicted to lying like pathological liar they just like can't stop themselves because they tell lies that like can't like uh-oh my two-year-old is here come on in. Special correspondent. Come in and say hi.

Oh, the show was scary that you were watching? Oh. He's being babysat by the TV while we record. Bo, you want to say hi? And you put One American News on, Jack. Way to go. There he is. But yeah, the pathological liar playbook of just telling lies that don't...

It's impossible to get away with them. People are going to know. Psychological liar playbook of just like telling lies that like don't. It's impossible to get away with them. Like people are going to know. Yeah. Miles is entertaining my boy with amazing hand gestures. I'm doing like some cool finger tutting. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah. How do I make it? Wow. Look at these guys, huh? Look at these guys. But yeah, it's so frustrating how many how easy it is to disprove this. And like in two weeks, they'll just be on to the next thing. Well, yeah. So the other thing is they have other people are talking about how, again, Department of Homeland Security, they've controlled official ballot production.

ballot production the democrats their plot is that they've printed extras but they didn't realize that department of homeland security is using non-radioactive isotope watermarks on official ballots so then basically what they're gonna do is they're gonna count all the ballots and then go oh actually just just just one more thing really ah they're gonna colombo them let's put the light on the ballots and now separate the bullshit ones from the real ones and that is when they feel that the hammer is going to come down and obviously we'll reveal trump total ponership of the nation or some shit like right i guess that's why they have to do it is because their conspiracy theory is that trump is secretly on top of all of this. It's always going to be a thing where he pulls the wool out

from over our eyes and reveals that he's been playing 12-dimensional chess the whole time and he's owning us. That's why they always have to tell these lies where it's just pushing it off further and further into the future. It's wild. Even on

4chan and some of the screenshots here about saying's wild and like even on 4chan and like some of the screenshots here about saying and like this is how they're talking they said uh basically saying you will cheer you will holler you will post your stupid frogs you know like the fucking memes and shit saying it will be a trump landslide but don't but you don't fucking realize this was to make it fair for the democrats we arrange things so the Dems can lose gracefully with the illusion of it being close. Why? Why do you think? So no more riots.

Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So, I mean, yeah, we'll be on the lookout for that, Greg. Yeah, because, yeah, I don't know. So this is what's going on. Buckle up, y'all, because if this is where they're going, I don't know what you do. You know, because it gets more and more ridiculous when now it's like, oh, yeah, he left office.

So he could be powerless over everything in the government. Oh, right. Because he's going to he's going to go back to the lab and come back in 2024 with his like super book of evidence. It's really something else. He wants us to let back to the lab and come back in 2024 with his like super book of evidence. It's really something else. He wants us to let our guard down, obviously. Yeah. Okay.

Just a wild conspiracy theory I just came up with is that QAnon is actually a left wing conspiracy. And this is actually something that was covered on Q q clearance by jake hanrahan so they're doing this to give people always something to look forward to so that they don't like start killing people so they're like no no no wait it's the the plan is coming through and then finally when trump's out of power they'll just be like you you dumb you idiots yeah yeah i would love that it makes sense it seems like something like a really brilliant troll job. Right. And then be like, no, that's not true.

That's not true. Like, I actually know who Q is. It's not that guy who knew everything and showed us how he had arced it out from the beginning. Or was just improvising on Twitter. Right, right. Steve Bannon is trending. We talked about his motto of flood the zone with shit, but he is flooding the zone with some very, very aggressive advice. Yeah, he is just on his YouTube fucking stream show saying fucking nonsense.

I'm just going to play this beginning part just so you can understand what the state of Steve Bannon's mind is. Mind you, this is another person who is in legal jeopardy, who was probably hoping that a second Trump term would get pardons. So this guy is also he's got his back against the wall as well. But listen to him. He's got he's actually already thinking of the future and Trump's second term and how he can do it. You know, when he takes his second term in January. And that's the second term. Second term kicks off with firing Ray, firing Fauci. Now, I actually want to go a step farther, but I read the president is a kind hearted man and a good man.

I'd actually like to go back to the old times of Tudor England. I'd put the heads on pikes. Right. i put them at the two corners of the white house as a warning to federal bureaucrats you either get with the program or you're gone time to stop playing games blow it all out but put rick renell today as the interim head of the fbi that'll that'll light some that'll light them up right and then they go on like we used to hang people for being traitors is what his co-host says who i don't know who that is very cool very very cool so it's it's bubbling up on that side uh it's not the rhetoric isn't being sort of toned down and i think when you when you couple that with where trump's head is at where the q anon stuff is going and now steve bannon it just paints an awful, awful, awful picture.

Sorry, my two-year-old has some thoughts. He's saying that he heard Bannon's theories, and he said it's scary. That's what he's saying. That makes just a sage-like wisdom from this young man, that young child. And then he's crashing a toy train into the side of my computer. There you go.

Like Trump's campaign. I mean, the other thing I want to say, right, for Trump, for all this complaining he's doing about voter suppression, sir, you completely dissolved, eroded the faith in mail-in ballots can be very stable sources of pro-gop votes right but with all this you completely shook people up they didn't know what to do and now you've you know now they're seeing like it's i think that's where it's bearing out in the like now that we're getting to the mail-in ballots that oh wow the democrats completely went all in on that and were conscious of that. But meanwhile, there's a bit of a cooling on that. It's all a lot of fingers being pointed. Yeah.

I mean, the mail, using the mail, stamps. These are some of the oldest old person shits in the world. Right. Of course, it should be a Republican republican thing and he blew it he blew it and all this goes along with you know with steve banning getting mad trump getting mad obviously blaming fox i had to watch one america news because i'm like that's the that's the alternative right now because if you're watching fox like they've called like you know they're saying he won arizona and that's like the most contentious thing this entire election on the right is like why did fox call arizona when it shouldn't have

been this is this is completely ridiculous one american news is now like putting fox clips on and being like like let's hashtag get real for a second and there's like dragging uh fox news they have james o'keefe on from project, who's obvious, just huckster loser who can't come up with a single real thing if his life depended on it. And he like showed a clip of how he called a post office and was like, I hear that you were changing the dates on the postmarked items. And like the person just hung up on them because they're like, dude, I'm time for this. We're counting. They knew we were onto them. That's exactly what he said. He goes, oh my God,

did you see that? They hung up. And then the guys who were playing the clip in the news desk on One America News were like, oh my God, so, oh wow,

that says a lot. They're onto something. Yeah. And they're like, thanks to these whistleblowers, we're actually getting a picture and we can see. And they're saying this shit

like don't let these people steal the election. That's what's coming out of One America News news right now so it's it's honestly like having somebody like the the end of america is going to be that half of the country thinks wrestling is real is essentially like where we're at yeah like they just need they have their own station where everything is covered as if wrestling is real and right they will die on that hill like almost literally it's just like not literally right or but then like you know it's like that movie it's funny because james woods is in it videodrome like the cronenberg movie yeah we're

like they're talking about yeah like reality will all be experienced through the tv screen for many people and that will be taken as what's real And if you have the ability to not discern fact from fiction or you're so your ego or your worldview is so fragile that you can't bear to watch anything that would challenge that, yeah, you're going to very quickly just resort to things that are comforts

that might not necessarily reflect reality. And I think that's where you start to see the real fucked up part of what these next couple years are really going to look like. Yeah. Just go back to the point he was making about like polls being voter suppression. Like that's I feel like that's kind of the opposite. Like polls and the whole like mainstream media apparatus is the thing is like his entire reason for existing he's that's the reason they that he exists is because

they are incapable of appealing to and like so just uh awful about even conceiving of the reality of the people who actually support trump yeah what do you think what What's Beau say? What do you say, Beau? Here, you want to talk into the mic? C doesn't start with car. C doesn't start with car? Does car start with C? No. Okay. Nailed it.

See, we're working our own theories over here. Yeah, exactly. I like that. Bow and on. Bow and on. Now, he's a blood, actually. Oh. That's why I was like, no, don't start.

Give me a bar. Driving a bar, you know what I mean? Yeah. Wow. That's awesome. Oh, wow. Like, on the math, Trump is cooked, right? Like, we can call it. The Daily Zeitge can be the first uh media outlet to call i mean yeah

if we're going off math i would say that there's no everyone's shook just to say it but i yeah i think but that's the thing is we've known i think a lot of people have just known this like all the data has been in front of us to be like oh yeah this this isn't going to go in the wrong direction i think it's just about what's this man gonna do he's out here now saying like up is down down is up he still has nuclear launch codes he can still cause a fucking you know international incident uh to try and who knows what but i don't know that's that's when it gets scarier because you're now we're in the phase of like what are the actual limits now um because he he see it looks like he knows you know his time but it does look like biden's gonna win pennsylvania comfortably based on the you know

where the votes are coming from uh and he you know the ap says he won arizona uh everybody else thinks he's definitely gonna win nevada so like yeah we're calling it guys you can you can stop refreshing every fucking five minutes but i guess the thing is it's it's almost that not even like is he gonna win i think the other part i think there's still a left over anxiety is like but then what yeah how's trump there's i'm about to read this new yorker article by jane mayor uh that that's just basically outlining all of the ways he is in trouble when he becomes a citizen right and i think that's what kind of makes it freaky for me to think about because

you're like that's right dude he has like i mean just look at he 26 accusations of like sexual misconduct like estimated 4 000 lawsuits oh yeah like while he was in office like what yeah i would i don't know what the fuck i would do if i was a con man and my you know magical shield was about to just turn to fucking nothing yeah we need to put make sure that he doesn't flee the country uh because like like the second he loses um yeah which will be i'm surprised he's not like a hologram. That wasn't a hologram in the East Room. Maybe it was. Yeah, right. Joke's on you.

I'm with Steven Seagal. Come fuck with me. They'll fuck you up. All right, guys. That's going to do it for this Thursday night. Congratulations on defeating Trump. We'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully, it will officially be called by the works by then.

Even saying that feels so fucking great like like i don't know my magical thinking tells me not to say it but my brain thinking tells me that we bow and on knows it's true you know bow and on knows bono's been saying we know what we know let me know when there's another Bo drop. Trump doesn't start with T. Like, that could actually be a Q drop. Trump doesn't start with T, suckers. All right. That's going to do it. We will be back tomorrow with a whole ass episode.

Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Wear a mask. Stay inside. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bo, anything to leave them with? That was funny.

You want what in that? Sand in that? Okay. Yeah. All right. You heard it here first. All right. Bye.
