Pope runs fever, skips meetings, Vatican says
"The Vatican has said that Pope Francis has skipped meetings because he was running a fever. No details have emerged of how sick Francis was.

He received intravenous antibiotics and was released three days later. Francis has had a busy week presiding over a meeting of the Italian bishops conference as well as meeting with several other prelates and visiting dignitaries.

Bitcoin's New Governance Challenge
"All right, Friends, well, as it is Bitcoin conference week, I thought why not do an LRS all focused on Bitcoin. So today we have two essays both sort of grounded in the recent feast bikes and both really focused on what happens next and more specifically what sort of additional emphasis on layer twos we might need as a Bitcoin community. The first piece was written by coin desk Michael Casey and is called frogs, fevers and fees, Bitcoin's new governance challenge. Michael Wright's this is why we can't have nice things. Just when we thought we'd learned our lessons from the blow ups of FTX, three arrows capital, Celsius at all, meme coin fever strikes again. Crazy crypto casinos are back. People are making ridiculous gobs of money from tokens based on a frog image, while others stand to lose massively as a rational bidding takes hold. At this time, the fever is not only infecting greedy human minds, but messing with the functioning of the most valuable blockchain in the world. The ability to create tokens based on the new BRC 20 standard, which was enabled by Bitcoin's taproot upgrade, has fostered a variety of new Bitcoin based meme coins, many mimicking those released on other chains that have recently experienced wild price movements. This past week, for example, the Ethereum based Pepe coin rose almost 5 million %, then lost 50% off its highs. This follows the creation of the ordinals protocol, which gave rise to Bitcoin based data inscriptions that function as non fungible tokens. These use up a lot more data than a basic Bitcoin transaction, which means they're driving up Bitcoin fees. Bitcoin miners have lately been earning more from transaction fees than from their routine 6.25 Bitcoin block reward, and that means if you want to send a small amount of Bitcoin on chain, it won't be accepted or you'll have to pay a prohibitively exorbitant price for doing so. I can hear Elizabeth Warren's anti crypto army snickering. These crypto Bros are so obsessed with mooning into lambos, that they're destroying what they claim to be this technology's core purpose as a better form of money and value exchange.

Steve Deace of "Nefarious" Fame Battles Mysterious Infection
"Talking to Steve dais DEA CE, the man behind the film and the book nefarious. Steve, you've been through hell. And before we skip to the second part of the hell that you've been through, I want to talk about the first part. You were in the hospital, you said you had all kinds of treatments. You had serious fevers. Talk about that because you didn't mention that. Yeah, I mean, I was delirious. I don't really remember other than the pain Eric. I don't remember much of the hospital experience because I mean, I was out if I was out of it. I was passed out for hours in the ER waiting my turn. You know, my wife's tweeting my condition, my small group guys come up to pray over me. I can barely remember that. I just remember it being in pain so much that basically I just passed out and this went on for hours in the ER before they finally got me back there and they were literally able to carve these things out of me. And I mean, my fever is spiking and everything else. I mean, I just was delirious mostly. I remember reading because I follow you on Twitter reading your wife's tweets on your behalf. I was like, what the heck is this? I got a phone call from John Z mirac. Have you heard what's going on with Steve day? Let's pray, this was very serious. And this is the beginning, okay? So you're telling me that you go through this stuff, you're in the hospital, and you're in the hospital for how long? I was in the hospital a total of about ten hours, and I'm told this is the most painful thing they will do nowadays without putting you under and admitting you is when you get these kinds of cysts and removing them. That's what I was told. And why wouldn't they put you under? I don't really know the answer to that. I don't know. I mean, I like I said, all I remember is the pain and the agony. I don't remember much of conversations or anything else. So you had fever, you had these cysts. This is an infection, a mysterious quote unquote infection that strikes you just days before this film comes out. And so you go through this, but they're able to dig this stuff out and you think you're fine now. Yeah, I mean, I'm not a discharging at all. The sit meaning the cyst have drained of the bacteria in them. I don't even, I don't even cover it anymore.

"All of you to check out nefarious the new movie out. It's very powerful. Steve dace is the mastermind behind it, and I believe he has been spiritually under attack the last couple of days. Steve first, how is your health? Well, Charlie, I'm sitting here talking to you with a hole on the left side of my chest where bacteria is still draining. But other than that, man, I'm great. How are you? Well, I'm glad you have a good spirit about it. And what exactly happened? Well, we made a hell of a movie that exposes the enemy and pissed him off. That's really what happened. And then I played into it with some stupid fake macho stuff, you know, the old I got time to bleed. I'll worry about this later. I got back from our red carpet premiere in Dallas last week and I started having some swelling on the left side of my upper body. I thought, you know, I used to go away. I got too much to do for the movie, promotion. I'll worry about it later. Sunday, the pain just got to be really bad. Monday morning, I woke up and I was searing excruciating and they gave me an antibiotic shot at the urgent care that didn't really help by that by Monday night I was out of it running fevers, disoriented, trembling, wife rushed me to ER and they literally had to carve this bacteria out of my left upper torso and if I'd not listened to her and gone to the ER if this had gone on another 12 hours, you and I might be having a much different conversation right now or I might still be coming out of surgery and recovering and not able to talk to you. So luckily we got it when we did.

Joe Biden Stumbles Over Words Again
"Joe Biden says he's still not prepared to announce the 2024 presidential run. As he stumbled over his words and sound like he literally got in a car accident and had brain damage before he said that. God is my witness here today. If all is fair, right? None of the cheating and stuff that happened in 2020. If Donald Trump runs against Joe Biden, I would argue it's going to be a political bloodbath. First of all, Donald Trump's momentum is at a fever pitch. I don't know if that's the right word, but it sounds like it sounds good to me. Donald Trump's popularity is probably at an all time high. I really do believe that indicting Donald Trump reinvigorated the base. Because it reinvigorated me, I was a little on the fence about Trump like, and I don't know, man. He keep talking about desantis. You know, I love Trump, but man he got a line it up a little bit. Because if Donald Trump asks presidential, quote unquote. I mean, he would kill it. I mean, there ain't no politician that can test Trump. Not even close. If he would be more presidential in certain areas, like, hey, when you talking about the deep state, go after them, talk as much trash as you can. Bash them, whatever you need to do, verbally, you can do that. But when you start telling my celebrities and stuff, just leave that to the pundits, man. Because these people can somehow they fans are going to have to vote for you at some point. Just leave that to the pun. I talk about Rihanna's halftime show. I talk about LeBron James until I'm until I can't see no more. I talk about he'll try to go blind. But Donald Trump just stay in the middle on certain things.

The Cold Plunge Benefits You Never Knew About
"You're looking for an instant mood boost that can help you with everything from your workout recovery and stress relief to better immune and heart health, I'm going to show you how to chill out. And level up your health with cold therapy. Now, regularly using cold therapy can help improve your mood, clear up your skin, support heart health, give your metabolism upgrade, and that's just a tip of the iceberg. I know I couldn't help myself. So first of all, what are cold plunges? And I will tell you a little behind the scenes. I've been obsessed with these for a while now. In fact, so obsessed I even got my own cold plunge. So cold therapy just means exposing your body to cold, right? To cold water to cold air, and there's lots of therapeutic benefits. You're submerging your body. Now except for your head and neck. In water temperatures cooler than 59°F. And while this is definitely trendy, it's not really a new trend. In fact, it goes way back to tease who believe that water therapy could alleviate fatigue. In fact, 18th century docs recommended cold baths to treat conditions like fever and rickets. And today, people are using cold therapy for physical mental challenges, including dealing with anxiety and stress and depression goes honestly, it gives you like this instant mood boost. So here's how it works. As you're exposed to the cold, your blood vessels constrict. And then all your blood gets pushed towards your organs. Now, as a result, your blood acquires more oxygen and becomes super nutrient rich. As your body starts heating up again, your blood vessels expand and as your blood vessels expand oxygen and nutrient rich blood flows back to your tissues, helping flush out the inflammation.

Why President Donald Trump Chose to Visit Ohio
"President Trump welcome back to the Salem news channel. Well, thank you very much, Sebastian. And your show is doing great. And it's an honor to do it with you. Really great honor. Thank you, condi sir. I couldn't believe it that our team said it's now the 5th time you've been on the show. We have the full previous ones that made the news one in which you called a merely a woke traitor. You talked about the stealing of the election. Let's see if we can make some news today. First things first, mister president, could you comment on why it took a former president to go to Ohio. We have the amazing footage from you in that McDonald's. Why did you get there to help the suffering suffering people of east Palestine before forget Pete boot edge edge before even President Biden went, mister president? Well, it seemed a very natural thing to do. I was watching the news and I saw this incredible explosion and it really is having very devastating effect on water and air and everything else as you know as you've been covering it very nicely. But I saw it happening. And I was told that the fema and that the Biden administration will have nothing to do with it. They actually said, we'll have nothing to do with it. It doesn't come within the parameters of fema. And I will tell you, Phoebe is great. You know, we had a fantastic relationship for tornadoes and hurricanes and everything else he worked on. And they were told not to do it. And as soon as I announced, I didn't do it for this reason, but it worked out to be pretty good because as soon as I announced that I was going, then the Biden people announced that they were going to go and that fema was going to be there and fever was going to help them out, et cetera, et cetera. That happened. But I went there and they're incredible people. The mayor was great. The whole place was really great. And they're working very hard to get rid of that problem. It's a big problem.

A Meditation on Mark 1:29-39 for Wednesday of the First Week in 'Ordinary Time'
"For the next few moments, surrender all the cares and concerns of the stay to the lord. Say slowly, from your heart, Jesus. I trust in you. You. Take over. Become aware that he is with you. Looking upon you with love. Wanting to be heard, deep within your heart. A reading from the holy gospel of Mark, chapter one versus 29 to 39. On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went with James and John straight to the house of Simon and Andrew. Now, Simon's mother in law had gone to bed with a fever, and they told him about her straight away. He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. And the fever left her, and she began to wait on them. That evening after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by Devils. The whole town came crowding round the door and he cured many who were suffering from diseases of one kind or another. He also cast out many Devils, but he would not allow them to speak because they knew who he was. In the morning, long before dawn, he got up and left the house, and went off to a lonely place and prayed there. Simon and his companions set out in search of him, and when they found him, they said, everybody is looking for you. He answered. Let us go elsewhere to the neighboring country towns. So that I can preach there, too, because that is why I came. And he went all through Galilee, preaching in their synagogues, and casting out Devils. What word made this passage come alive for you? What did you sense the lord saying to you?

WHO worried about surge of COVID in China amid lack of info
"The leader of the World Health Organization is concerned about the spread of the coronavirus in China. Wants more data from the Chinese government. He's worried about the risk of life there throughout December. China recorded only 13 official virus deaths despite many thousands of cases every day and reports about overwhelmed hospitals. Fever clinics and crematoriums earlier this week, Chinese official sharply criticized testing requirements imposed on visitors from China and threatened countermeasures against countries involved, including the U.S. and several European nations.

Virus death toll in China's capital shows further rise
"With people testing and recuperating at home, China says it's no longer possible to keep an accurate count of new coronavirus case numbers, making it substantially more difficult to gauge the state of the current wave of infection and its direction. China's trying to persuade reluctant seniors and others at risk to get vaccinated apparently with only moderate success, centers over recent days have been largely empty and there has been no major publicity drive in the entirely state controlled media, but numbers of fever clinics have been expanded in both urban and rural areas, and people have been asked to stay at home unless serious deal to preserve resources, hospitals are also running short on staff and reports say workers have been asked to return to their posts as long as they aren't feverish.

Children's medicine shortage hits as flu season starts fast
"Doctors say the shortages of children's cold and flu medicines could persist throughout the peak winter months. Here's a new problem for parents caring for sick children, a surge in demand is making it hard to find over the counter medications like Tylenol and cough syrup. With an early start to the flu season and the RSV and COVID viruses also making kids sick. CVS and Walgreens are limiting purchases and doctors are also reporting shortages of antibiotics. Some pediatricians say instead of reaching for pills for a fever, parents can try lukewarm baths, not colds, and if it's a baby under two months old, get to the doctor with a fever over 100.4°. Use two teaspoons of honey to suppress a cough in children over age one, and you can try running a cool mist humidifier to relieve chest congestion. Doctors also say if the stores are out of name brand children's medicines feel free to use the generics. I'm Jackie Quinn

Day 349 of The Bible in a Year: Paul on the Island of Malta
"Were reading access the apostles chapter 28, the final chapter, as well as flipping chapters one and two, pro group chapter 29 versus 25 through 27. The acts of the apostles, chapter 28. Paul on the island of Malta. After we had escaped, we then learned that the island was called Malta, and the natives showed us unusual kindness for the Kindle to fire and welcomed us all because it had begun to rain and was cold. Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and put them on the fire when a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand. When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, no doubt this man is a murderer, though he has escaped from the sea, justice is not allowed him to live. He, however, shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. They waited, expecting him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But when they had waited a long time and saw no misfortune come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a God. Now in the neighborhood of that place where lands belonging to the chief man of the island named publius, who received us and entertained us hospitably for three days. It happened that the father of publius lay sick with fever and dysentery, and Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him, and when they had taken place, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases also came and were cured. They presented many gifts to us, and when we sailed, they put on board whatever we needed. Paul comes to Rome. After three months, we set sail in a ship which had wintered in the island, a ship of Alexandria, with the twin brothers as figurehead. Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. And from there we made a circuit and arrived at regium, and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day, we came to put yoli. There we found brethren, and were invited to stay with them for 7 days. And so we came to Rome. And the brethren there, when they heard of us, came as far as the form of appius and three taverns to meet us. On seeing them, Paul thanked God and took courage. And when we came into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier that guarded him. Paul and Jewish leaders in Rome. After three days, he called together the local leaders of the Jews, and when they had gathered, he said to them. Brethren, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans. When they had examined me, they wished to set me at liberty because there was no reason for the death penalty in my case. But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, though I had no charge to bring against my nation. For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.

Medical Staff Sickened When China Relaxes COVID Restrictions
"COVID spreads and medical staff sicken after China relaxes restrictions. I'm going to give you a little background on this big breaking news story. We don't have complete visibility of what's going on in China. We just know that their hospital system is now overwhelmed. They've opened the so called fever centers and most of the Chinese population has been vaccinated with this crappy vaccine called the Sino vaccine. And it doesn't work. It's not like our vaccines that are out there. And you might be vaccine skeptical and not be vaccinated, good for you, whatever your choice is, you made it as a free American and I blessed you for it.

And if they have an underlying condition, and China is the nothing to prepare their population except these extreme lockdowns.
Airplane Fever
"fever" Discussed on Airplane Fever
"See what happens is when you're creating 3D models, right from scratch, not necessarily from what's called LIDAR, 'cause you can also take a LIDAR enabled camera or iPad or some of the newer phones already have it. And you can literally do a walk around video, keeping an object in the center, and it will automatically create a 3D model. So when I'm talking about mapping and texture mapping, I think that applies more to like this, this is another floor plan, 3D model four plant that I was able to generate with this software. Now sometimes when you're wanting to host your 3D models so that it makes them easier to share with the world or maybe you want to do what I'm doing and use it to help promote some local businesses or business businesses anywhere. Quick example of what I'm talking about promoting businesses the same. For example, there is a flooring company and they have a showcase floor like this flooring here that you see. You can literally go to a company and if you have enough traffic walking through your model, you could literally put their logo or a hotspot and send them straight to either a shopping cart or to their company that showcasing their wood floor or their brick walls. There's just so much you can do when it comes to 3D modeling that makes it amazing and powerful. Now going back to mapping, sketchfab is one of the places that's like social media or is a social media for 3D artists. Sometimes when you export a 3D model and there's different file formats, you can export three models in, but sometimes the mapping is translated a little bit or expressed slightly differently once you host it in a place like sketchfab. And there could be various reasons for maybe you painted a wall green and when you hosted it, it's expressing it white or you maybe had a texture, a brick wall, and when you exported it to host in a place like sketchfab, your centerpiece brick wall is not being expressed in your angry and confused, wondering how come my brick walls I've been expressed. Well, it costs money to host textures and especially if these textures are large files, it takes bandwidth, and believe it or not, transparency textures are expensive to host. I just learned that. I don't know if that's applies straight across the board. But as far as sketch Travis concerned, they're the ones that taught me that. And when I learned that, that allowed me to start building my models more simple or less texture because I was just going crazy with all the texture options that were available with the software. Because there's so many awesome features on it. And I was doing it too much. I was getting carried away. And sketchfab was saying, okay, easy buddy. I'm not going to. Your kitchen wall does not need to be marble and the wall next to it does not need to be a brick face, whatever. It's just ridiculous. Sometimes less is more, and that's lesson that I was taught from sketchfab and I feel like it's starting to make me a better artist because of it. I'm starting to call myself an artist. I don't know if that's making my wife happier encouraged. She seems more money. I think she's smiling, starting to smile more. But yes, this is amazing stuff. And especially if you're already in that mindset and already have that knowledge and the aptitude for being a real artist, this software can really help you express your ideas and such an amazing way. Now, what does that have to do with flying an aviation besides the fact that almost every single one of my floor plans has some type of airfield or a runway or something next to it? Well, there's more. Because where do I continue this story so it's clear? Okay, let me start here. What I do for a living, what really has been effective at putting food on the table before I started doing this, it was a solar panels. Because I truly do believe in free electricity from the sun. There's still mixed, I know there's two sides of the fence of that and then I understand that maybe some of the elements that compose a solar power home system could be considered overpriced, maybe. That's an argument for another time I'm not going to get into the pros and cons and what I think and what you should think about solar power. I'm just going to tell you what's happening and how cryptocurrency or blockchain technology because crypto is written on blockchain layers and I'm saying I know I'm being very lame when I'm saying this because I'm just learning this myself. So please cut me some slack if you are a crypto super nerd and I'm not trying to be derogatory by calling you that I'm actually saying that respectfully and because if you've been studying crypto and you saw the power of crypto long before most of us are barely realizing what's going on congratulations you are a smart person because it's amazing what blockchain technology is doing. So what caught my eye about it is the fact that in solar power, one of the benefits of putting solar panels on your roof is that if you're plugged into the right utility company, they will do what's called net metering and give you credits for the power that your solar panels produce and you don't use, right? So let's say remember those old school meters before the digital meters came out, they would spin right. So let's just look at let me use that example. So let's say your meter spins forward one full turn. So for every full turn that meter spins, that's a kilowatt hour. And that's what gets added onto your Bill. Well, when you add solar panels to your roof, they upgrade your meter and they'll put what's called net metering. So that literally will make that thing now spin backwards. So every time every full turn that that meter spins backwards, you get a credit. At nighttime when the sun goes down, the difference is that now you're running off of the credits, but at a fraction of the cost. But the beautiful thing is, not only when you have solar panels, when everything is working properly, are you using producing your own electricity.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the first ever airplane fever, podcast, I am your host, Michael Courtney. It is my pleasure to bring this podcast to you, I don't know if you are watching it or listening to my voice, somehow you stumbled onto my voice. I hope that's a good thing for you. If you can't see what is happening right now, we're flying around a small airport. Now those of us that have been around aviation know that a small private airport or airfield oftentimes is turned an FBO, I believe the acronym stands for flight based operations, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. But I say that to point out that this airport that we're flying around is my own design and it's the building that would be the FBO actually spells out an acronym and the acronym is futile F foxtrot uniform tango, India, Oscar hotel alpha, food yoga. There is a meaning behind that as well, but that's a topic for another time. But it does remind me that I promised that I was going to lift you up in prayer. This is not a religious channel, not a Bible flaming channel. If you're allergic to religion, you don't have to walk away. It's going to be really quick. Just want to lift your prayer, heavenly father. I just want to lift up whoever's listening to my voice right now. Them and their family, if they're feeling any type of anxiety that you will surround them with your heavenly love and peace and that you will reveal yourself to them, let them know that your real and that you are not a God of anger that needs to be pieced that you are a God of love and care for them and you treat us not according to what we deserve, but according to what you deserve a who you are, Jesus named amen. So we're flying over now another one of the designs that I made and guys I'm not an architect. I am a self proclaimed layman's architect. I am opening up a layman's architect course based on this software, I apologize to those of you that are real architects and achieved architects, I don't know if you this is probably not anything amazing in your site. I think this is awesome. But the reason I was able to do this was because these geniuses from the Ukraine developed a software that allowed or enabled someone like myself with hardly any experience, I really am not a good artist. Take it easy if you need to put in a comment section. Nah, you're not a good artist. I can tell whatever. I think this is awesome. And the reason we were able to do this was because these guys created such an amazing software that enables someone like myself, just an average Joe to be able to slap this together. Now, if you are very creative and have the aptitude for drawing a natural artist or a real architect, imagine what you could do with a software, powerful, I'm gonna leave a link on the pad cost top. Podcast site so you can actually download it yourself. And guess what, guys, you can download it for free, all right? There's a basic in the pro, the basic is free. I think the upgrade is only like 40 bucks. Stacked with features. It is awesome. You can go to airplane fever dot com and there's even more details to it because I'm hosting several of my 3D floor plans on another platform called sketchfab and some of the elements that I use and I need to put I need to put the artist that I borrowed some of these elements credentials to them and I will be adding you guys on there if you recognize any of these elements. That I added to my own build outs, don't worry, I am going to put either a link to your work as well or put whatever type of credential you want me to mention. We're just getting started. But this is an amazing, amazing, amazing software and believe it or not, we are using it to leverage the next level of marketing what's coming. Web three guys. Already already here, web three actually might still be misusing the term because I'm new to the technology. But most of us recognize it as crypto or cryptocurrency and for me, when I first heard about cryptocurrency, I wouldn't even consider opening up a financial portfolio for it. By the way, if you're watching the video, right now I'm showing another 3D model, this amazing artist and man, HB ro, I hope that's your name. I'm going to look for this model so I can give them credit. Another amazing 3D artist and if you look at the logo behind it, that's the sketchfab logo. I use a lot of their elements. A great place, if you are a 3D artist or hopefully this podcast is probably going to inspire you to become a 3D artist, especially once you download that software that I'm telling you to download for free when you go to my site at airplane fever dot com or RGB in 3D dot com. The podcast site, I'm going to leave the link for you to download the software, and you're going to want a place to host your 3D models. This is a great place to do it. Sketchfab is where you would want to learn to upload your models. Now there's things to learn about mapping surfaces or mapping your images, the term I'm looking for is textures. Thank you. I'm going to have to add a lot of that out probably. It took too long to think about it. But yes, there is more to learn once you're hosting your 3D models in a place other than the software that you use to design it like the one I'm encourage you, encouraging you to download, you need you're probably going to have to do some mapping..

"Of. Course this podcasts preferred pillow magnate in the maga universe in late july. Mike angrily announced to various media outlets that he was effectively pulling his mypillow ads from the fox news and fox business airwaves immediately in protest. Essentially of fox's decision to decline to run his ad leading up to his south cyber symposium which our listeners probably remember as a thing lyndale promise prove that massive fraud conspiracy ended up swinging the election from donald trump. To joe biden. Obviously the cyber symposium imploded in several different ways and was able to unearth zero evidence of the sort. I'm sure that's heartbreaking in shocking to our listeners. Anyway so i wanna follow up with mike. Because i haven't spoken to him in a while. And i just realized that there had been no follow up to the alleged breakdown of that relationship even at the time when he said it. It seemed to raise an eyebrow on my face that okay. I mean he saying he's killing the relationship right now but he really killing the relationship so yesterday on monday september thirteenth speaking to i asked him have you made any new overtures to fox news or fox business to try to get ads back on the air or is there been any outreach. The other way around and lo and behold he told us that in fact yes starting a week or two after. He made that announcement in late july he actually went back to fox to try to get a bad on the air for his attempt at a social media. Network called frank speech. Before i get into what these ads were. Frank speech is a dumped by the way getting owns compared to frank speech. The thing i kind of wanted to establish here is we. Get into this frank speech thing. So this is mike lindell's ostensible social network. I still can't figure out how to log onto this. Don't think but like do you have an account. Try to can't get in. What is frank speech. It's both a social network a dream because often it's just like a streaming video of mike lindell. So but here's the thing. I suspect fox news is looking at this. And they're like this looks low rent now. The man yelling about pillows that fit with our brand but frank speech is is a weird spam operation and they want nothing to do with it. I would imagine i. I'm just spitballing. Here okay so this is what lindow told. The fever drinks pod yesterday and i quote my pillow is done with them. My pillow is done. And he's referring to fox and fox business but what he's leaving the door open for at least for now is a week or two. According to him after he announced he was pulling my pillow from fox news airwaves. He said he went back to fox. With an ad for the frank speech social media site but within that ad he specifically told me that the ad says that you can get exclusive deals at my store and also mypillow in the ad content. So he's kind of doing this kind of work around where he says. Oh yeah. I'm refusing to grace the airways of fox news with my pillow content but i am trying to get an ad or two for frank speech on there which and within that ad includes basically a redirect to mypillow products. So i mean is it. A my pillow ad is anonymous bill add. I'll leave that up for our listeners. To gotta have pride. It's kind of like. He's sneaking it on their. Here's my theory right. It's crazy like we know that fox news was part of their ad. Revenue was pillows. Right if i'm like dan bongino. If i'm sean hannity if i'm one of these guys i'm getting my own pillow company and i'm spamming fox news with pillow ads. I think there's an opening here for someone who is willing to buy fox news ads. The audience love seeing pillows. You know just kind of sneak in there what. Why don't we try that fever pillow. I don't think we could do that to mike. He's bringing these exclusives to us. I would wanna stab him in the back like that. But i do think the pillow market i think is wide open. The thing is according to mike. V new ad that he tried to pitch them frank speech. They rejected it. I believe because they didn't want anything to do with something that had to do with the cyber symposium or alleged massive election fraud yada yada yada so he goes again a little bit after that to try to get third on the air which he said. He took out any references to the election. Or yada yada just frank speech in my store in my pillow so fox news comes back to him on. He claims monday. September thirteen and simply say they did not like the content of frank speech. And that's the reason why they're refusing to put his ads on the air right now. So he's kind of in this weird space where he's denouncing fox news as this leviathan. The isn't pro-trump enough for him. And his not brave enough to talk about vaccines of twenty twenty election. The way that he is but yet he is still beseeching them to try to get his ads on air even though he made this big stink about no longer advertising my pillow with the may and he tells us that he is currently in the process of trying to create a fourth ad that he hopes his fox news and fox business friendly to try to test them to see if they'll rekindle this ad revenue marriage once again. I like this thing where it's like. Mike is in the lab cooking up these ads. Or he's like maybe this will get past the censors at fox news. And he's just telling you he's like. Hey here's my plan to fool fox news. I mean you can't do it like that. Well we'll see what we'll have to see if he pulls it off. Fever dreams like all daily.

"Dating twenty succeed clinton does out. It underscores a related point. Which is that. The ground wars can recede. But that leaves a tremendous amount of the war on terror stu intact and if that war can operate inconspicuously. It is very as i put it in the book. Sustainable from an operational perspective itchen continue. This is how a war like somalia. Which trump escalates like no one before him is currently old enough to have a kingston era and there is not a single congressional. Study of the somali award is a fifteen year fucking war. That is how inconspicuous the war on terror can become. And so that. I think is kind of the the real moment of crossroads where we look at what. The biden administration is leaving intact even as it very admirably from my perspective withdraws from afghanistan. I have my criticisms of how this withdrawal was conducted primarily. I have my criticisms. About how once again. In american history. The united states in biden particular blamed afghans for the war america brought to them and did nothing at all for those afghans who did not serve western interests during the war. It is entirely appropriate. That biden and the military should have made this effort at getting. I think it's something like one hundred twenty thousand people out but they prioritize. Westerners they prioritize those who worked foreign with westerners into the rest of afghanistan which had to suffer. All of this time. There is nothing. There is certainly no discussion of refugee admission. Except for the right to demonize and the liberals not to challenge and there is no discussion of paying the afghan people the reparations i believe they are due from the united states for what the united states did to their country did to their country not only during the twenty years of the afghanistan war but in the nineteen eighties when it along with pakistan and saudi arabia did their part to stabilize afghanistan. As the soviet union was out the stabilizing afghanistan through its invasion and occupation. I could talk to you about this all day on sort of pissed off that we're out of time. I did not even get to ask you about the tv show. Twenty four so man. We could have spent maybe entire episode on that. But you wanted to get me to react to the new york times book review.

"Dreams. Guests is none other than matt kirks. A senior fellow at media matters for america distinguished chronicler of conservative media for many years gertz served as a meticulous resource during the trump presidency in documenting pow. Any number of right-wing sales pitches traveled from the airwaves of fox news into trump's brain straight into the ben presence twitter feed and then into the actual policy making process of the us federal government. You can follow him at matt skirts on twitter dot com a website on which is frequently mistaken for scandal plagued congressman matt gates much to my sadistic enjoyment and pleasure congressman matt gertz. Welcome to fever. Dreams have resigned not yet. I'm glad that i can bring so much pleasure to you and everyone else on that godforsaken website. Okay but just before we get into what we actually brought you on to talk about. How much of a problem is this still. I know i make fun of you a lot for it. You've been on. Cnn's reliable sources with. Brian stelter to briefly talk about this very subject of mistaken identity. How much of it is actually an issue or an inconvenience in your life. Oh i mean it's still a pretty constant flow of tweets coming across my mentions at this point. It's become a little bit confusing for me because there are some people who are in on the joke and our tweeting at me while pretending they're tweeting at matt gaetz that includes me. Of course that includes you and sometimes those people end up fighting with other people who aren't in on the joke don't realize that the other person is in on the joke and so they're trying to correct someone who is trying to do a joke it's it's fairly baffling but yes. There is still a fairly frequent for me to get tweets that are intended for someone else and that call me a pedophile. Which is not ideal. I mean it's not want in your twitter mentions but it's my bare guess. I feel like matt. Gaetz owes you worker's comp or something and a couple of vacation days you know. He's in the early stages of this. He tried to play along with the joke and i just completely ignored him because i think that he's a fairly reprehensible person than i don't want way where did he like start. Dm new or something like no no no he was quote. Tweeting me jokingly about the situation and i just ignored him completely. I don't really want to have like a fun story about me. And the congressmen and our strange twitter hijinks We're firmly laughing at him. Not with him yes. I think that's correct what you should really start. Deeming him and emailing him about this because one day those documents could end up in court record of some sort maybe one day. I don't think so. The thing that i always thought about but decided would probably not be a good idea would be start damning. Like don jr. pretending to be the congressman and seeing how long. I could sort of play that out before he realized it. He seems pretty dumb. I think it would work. But perhaps a idea twitter is censor you by slightly changing the spelling of your last name. We need help to fix it both. Speaking of poor ideas you have been tracking this ongoing very sad. Very depraved trend of anti vaccine anti mask. Conservative radio hosts in different places across the united states and also local leaders who are also waiting anti vaccine anti mask wars of their own in different parts of the country. There's been an ongoing trend in a surge recently of a number of these guys. I'm not talking like one or two. It's becoming way more conspicuous trend than that gang hospitalized and in many cases succumbing to in dying from covert nineteen after many weeks or months of telling their audience or their fan base. That the vaccines are dangerous. And you shouldn't take them and that anybody who wants to put a mask on your your children during this pandemic is a nazi blah blah blah. All usual complete anti science horse ship and yet there continues to be this parade of just maddening. Local news stories were they or their families are talking to local media about how actually this guy ended up catching covert nineteen and he's now dying or dead. There was this one of one of many horror stories. Have come out in. Recent days was printed on august twenty eighth by the daytona beach news journal with the headline after three week cove in nineteen battle daytona beach talk. Radio hosts marc bernier dies. And what do you know. This guy was one of the ones who is going on the airwaves. Telling bunch of his listeners do not get vaccinated. Yeah i mean. I've lost track of the number of low level republicans celebrities and conservative media figures who have been hospitalized or died during the pandemic in recent weeks. The one that really struck me. I think was philvalentine. News conservative talk radio host at tennessee. He expressed skepticism about the vaccines he when he contracted the virus dole does listeners. That a doctor had gotten him of prescription for din which is an anti anti-parasite drug that's become very popular in a certain section of the right wing as a potential kovic No it doesn't appear to actually work. And once he stricken. When he was hospitalized his brother came to look. he's regretful. He wasn't a vocal advocate of vaccination for those listen. I know he were able to tell you. This would tell you. Go get backs needed. Quit worrying about the politics could worrying about all the conspiracy theories and then he died of coveted nineteen last month. There are so many stories like this. I will say it's notable that they're almost all local the national out media figures i assume they're all vaccinated quietly vaccinated. They will not come out and they will not publicly say we took the shot and you should definitely take this shot you at home. Who trusts me. Who is listening to this show. You should get vaccinated. They won't do it. It's just so disgusting. The way they have they're not good. People is what i'm saying. You'd think that in a sane world. Herman cain steph. What a year ago now would have underscored to some folks in that world that this is a serious disease. Obviously he died before a vaccine was readily available but rather than support the measures that were available time masking distancing herman cain twitter. I think turned around and continued on cova skepticism. So there's been no recompense for right wing figures blessing vaccines blasting covet measures. And now we're kind of seeing that leap the natural it's natural end here with these local folks who actually do believe what's being doled out at the top yet. I mean herman canes grid example another one is a bill montgomery who was one of the founders of turning points usa. With charlie kirk at who also died of of nineteen last july. And that has not kept charlie kirk from pushing every corona virus vaccine fantasy under the sun. There's just no recognition of anything resembling a responsibility to their own supporters to their own.

"On the problem of your question. So what did you hear in that exchange. Kelly because what i heard was someone asking. When are you going to bring people back to washington. Dc potentially to do something similar to what they did on january six to continue fighting for the absolute lie that donald trump actually won the twenty twenty presidential election and this congressman saying. Oh yeah we're working on it as opposed to doing what any person even in his far-right situation should do which is say we have to act peacefully and the way to win is to vote blah blah blah. There are so many efforts right now to hold renewed rallies in support of or in echoes of the january six riot that includes this coming month. Are tomorrow when this episode broadcast. It will be this month an effort to hold a d. c. rally around where the initial january six rally was in support of january six defendants. This is not some distant event that they are trying to bury move on from to save face. They're glorifying it. They're trying to revive it and to make it a recurring event. It's an installation in a series of these attacks in you can even see that in the opposite direction in the lead up to january six riot there were multiple dc protests so to speak. Stop the steel rallies. Things attended by proud boys. Things got really really rowdy. These events are sequential. They build on each other until there is something that gets them a little bit of bad publicity. They have to say oh. We don't condone exactly that. Then they go and they try and free. The people who are facing charges for the glorify them and the cycle renews again right and obviously people like madison cawthorn if they got cold on video like emerging obviously one of the first things they'd say oh we're calling for a peaceful rally or quote unquote another peaceful rally. Don't be hysterical about it. It's like fuck off dude. We what you're talking about. We know what you're glorifying and it's not someone willing to give up there seat at a counter of a diner right. They every time they call for these quote unquote peaceful rallies. They get twenty people who are like our friend that we just discussed in pennsylvania. Who's talking about bringing people to forcibly enact change in the legislature. So they know their audience. They know their audience wants to do so. Swin for the first time in twenty years. We're out of afghanistan and there are already the rumblings from the far right of wanting to jump right back in. What is trump saying about the end of the occupation while is not just. Trump is not just the far-right but again a recurring theme on this podcast. Is that what you would think could be extreme or a little bit extreme. The more and more we talk about the more and more. It's just mainstream conservative movement and republican party position. Now i want to issue all the usual caveats and this applies every time we talk about. What's going on in afghanistan the quote unquote war has been ended by president joe biden but he is explicitly said and has exercise the right to do so at least a couple of times in recent days. Joe biden has gone out. There and repeatedly said explicitly signaled that i joe biden and future presence of the united states reserve the right to attack and bombard and drone strike afghanistan. Basically whatever the hell. I feel like it whenever i want to or claim it's in america's national security interests. So it's funny to me when we talk about this pull out this withdrawal and the war ending where i mean. I don't see how you could say. With any objective metric that the us involvement and war in afghanistan has truly come to an end if the leader of the free world continues to reserve the right to attack in bomb whenever he damn well pleases. That's right any on her way out. We effectively bombed a family of ten under the guise of attack isis. So that sort is kind of still dangling there yes vedran strike you're talking about is just one. Data point of many many many data points over the years about how so much of the cost has been off shored onto in terms of of afghanistan. The afghan people afghan civilians and completely off of the united states. And we're the human cost of the war has completely off shored onto the afghan people afghans billions and to a point where the american media zooming public does not have to worry about it all that much much to their shame but anyway getting that out of the way the quote unquote war has ended the ground troops are out and the withdrawal has concluded as of august thirty first afghanstan. That's obviously not nothing. And with that removal of american ground troops there are abundant calls in recent days from prominent republicans asking. Okay when are we gonna reinvade the country again. When are we gonna take bog from. When are we gonna fled the country again with combat troops. When are we going to get the bloodstained revenge that we think we desperately deserved as americans. You have your lindsey. Graham saying this kevin mccarthy benz center marsha blackburn mitch mcconnell dan crenshaw hr mcmaster trump ally and ex new york city police. Commissioner bernie kerik said recently that trump would quote carpet bomb. The fuck out of afghanistan. Right now you have. Chronic asshole and conservative commentator toddstarnes advocating for mass murderer destruction of afghan civilian populations and wiping entire cities off the map in the south asian country. So the blood loss is going very strong in recent days especially after that horrific attack at kabul airport that left thirteen americans dead and numerous afghans killed as well but as the days have gone on since last week's attack trump himself not just his compatriots in the party but trump himself has done more and more into this idea of reinvading afghanistan at the same time while he's talking about oh i wanted to withdrawal the whole time. It's a parallel track of cognitive dissidents. That he just won't let die. Yeah i mean. Trump's statement is internally contradictory right. He's saying that if we do not get every penny of the eighty five billion that we spent on the afghan army back which is sunk cost folks. We know that when we have are just staggering military budget. That were offloading that or if we do. Funnel backs usually through Defense contractors in northern virginia. But he's saying that if we don't all of that back we should be able to quote at least bomb the hell out of it. It being afghanistan then he says nobody ever thought such stupidity as feeble brain. Withdrawal was possible. This is the same former president who was recently taking credit for the withdrawal. So.

"It's just like how he's gonna be the challenge for me. It was that. So much of the the sort of like more in sorrow than anger stuff about the tragedy of afghanistan in our withdrawal or whatever was written by the very same people that i remember as like barely sentient twenty two year. Old problem drinker when all this stuff was happening. The first round like it's the same fucking guys. Pardon my language. But it's like david fromm again like mark tyson again like they never left and just have to dig. It out of drafts like they can do that way. Quicker than can generate thoughts and some of these people is not an exaggeration to say that. This is all your fucking fault or at least the people you were directly serving and working for at the time. This is your fault this is on you and now you want to blame on. Oh critical race theory. The woke generals right are classic problem. These four star generals like robin de ngelo training after robin de ngelo training. All day long think about troop movements guys but the in this case with the the way that like that sort of tenor. The idea of like obviously. This was a disgrace. I mean it's a historic crime to do for twenty years. What we were doing in afghanistan the idea that the people that as you said orchestrated it and sold it can then be there at the end of it without any insight or remorse and still be permitted the platform to kind of like not just like argue for its ongoing sort of like prosecution which is like there's a little bit of that but then there's also more of this like obviously it didn't work of course none of us knows why that happened or how it could possibly have been permitted not to work but it's tragic and i join you in thinking that it was bad sincerely like man who invented the phrase that was used to sell the war that happened and i don't know like there's something really like derailing arranging is the term i used for that i guess it's just like knowing that this happened without any repercussion knowing that these guys are still permitted to do that function in polite society and also just in general are accorded the status experts strictly. Because they're the people that invented the fuck up in question is really like it's a lot such as sort of like walk around with that knowledge and like think about politics or think about your reminded of who is making these decisions and how abstracted and sort of on interested. They are in the consequences of them. I feel like there are two currents of this right. There is the hand wringing. How could this have happened. And then there are the people who are already onto step two of this which is yes. It's all very sad that this collapsed. Now we cannot let any refugees into the country. And i feel like those two sides are just encroaching little ven diagram upon each other. Yeah absolutely and i think that's also weird to see that because like those will appear in the same statement..

You see this a lot in information operations stuff is we like to think of. This is spooky intelligence world in all sorts of scary but at the end of the day like a lot of life is basically like a version of the office and it just show happens. This version of the offices involved in like information operations of normal bureaucratic politics supply which is like. Listen somewhere someone at these. Sputnik office was like listen. There's too many people getting vaccines are good. And so we need to do some sort of dirty work and dirty up these vaccines and once that happens. I mean you got money you gotta budget.

This one does not have that many takers. Basically in facebook's report they were highlighting the fact bit even in india people were making fun of them in the comment section like when they tried and they got to the extent that got engagement it was negative engagement and like indian facebook users. Like okay dr google. We're going to turn into chimpanzees. No thank you. So facebook commissioned an internal report on this network so yeah facebook does monthly coordinated in authentic behavior reports which is basically a post twenty sixteen development after all the russian hijinks during the election. Once a month. Facebook will dump what they know about usually state-driven massively coordinated authentic behavior which is essentially people using sock puppets to drive a particular narratives. And so this one came out and they were able to attribute all this stuff to this russian company in part because this russian company is just not very good at hiding the track got it okay.

Mcconnell basically give up basically said that he's had it with trump during the last couple of months of the host period while publicly also saying that if he were the nominee in two thousand twenty four he would absolutely support him mitch. Mcconnell is kind of walking a tightrope. Where i mean when he cares about is mitch mcconnell and senator he and he wants himself and his conference as empowered as possible and so long as trump was doing stuff that was making that easier and working within the do things they wanted to do with it. Cutting taxes awesome supreme court justices. That's all he cares about. Once he started getting into these anti democratic areas. They started getting a little queasy and mcconnell was totally fine with trump challenging in the courts in alleging all of these crazy things as long as when the end of the day came around and the courts to settle things. Trump was gonna move on. And there's that famous background what's the harmon humoring him. That came from mcconnell. End that i think we saw very clearly what the harm was on january sixth and mcconnell is livid and he was already angry at trump for the weeks leading up to it. People forget as the senate in capital started getting storm mcconnell just wrapped up a speech where he just laid into trump and then basically said this is the most important ever cast was confirming. Joe biden's election victory and then Basically just got furious. Mcconnell got angrier angrier. Mcconnell trump haven't talked since mid-december and then mcconnell really trump have it during impeachment with with really this rating speech but then at the same time voted against banning trump from running for office again voted against impeaching trump. His argument was that you can't impeach guys is already out of office and so mcconnell and the situation where you can't piss off the gop base too much but he clearly wants to move on from president trump and he basically hasn't mentioned trump's name since the impeachment vote even as he's done a couple of things to help trump killing the bipartisan investigation. Into what happened on january sex and trump really doesn't seem that interested in moving We saw a statement. That came out. Hoarding tuesday at trump. Just pop right before. The senate passed this infrastructure. Bill and what trump had to say quietly said for years. Mitch mcconnell's most overrated man in politics. I don't have to be quiet anymore and went on to say. He's working so hard to biting victory. That's one of the latest shots across the bow. That mcconnell has taken out with kind of a stiff offer a limp because madonna can't just go on blasting trump because a lot of the gop based still loves trump and donald trump. How many women did he credibly sexually assaulted and harassed over the years. I came forward during the two thousand sixteen campaign. Republicans kinda broken ran for a couple of weeks and then all came together and fell back under trump to try and him push through election day and he wanted sixteen right. And that's kind of been water. Under the bridge for years we've seen plenty of republicans have had pretty bad sex scandals and actually. Interestingly one of the few breaks that we really saw between trump and mcconnell during the trump years was when mcconnell finally had it. After roy moore had been credibly accused of sexually assaulting minor and trump ended up standing by him and trying to get roy moore elected in alabama and fell. Just short of having a senator roy moore there and so there have been these moments. Where mcconnell says okay. This is enough. And trump never has enough and the difference between trump and mcconnell's panels willing to play as hard and dirty and aggressive as he can on the field play while trump wants to move the goalposts mcconnell. I think genuinely believes that there is a line that you need to draw in the sand where by democracy is no longer democracy needs to be defended at some base level even if he wants to set up the rules for democracy to make an end horrid -tarian.

"So recording this on august third is being of argus a month where a bunch of pro-trump partisans and conspiracy theories have been claiming for months. We'll be or could very well be that. Trump is directly restored to the presidency and biden is thrown out his ass right. Now we're welcoming on the podcast. Our colleague daily beast reporter kelly who just popped the story about how these conspiracy theories are getting zanier just at the moment where it looks like. They're going to implode themselves because donald trump is not going to be back in office this month. Kelly welcome back to the show. Thanks for having me. Can you tell us a little bit more about your reporting for a story headlined my pillow guy punts kind line for trump retaking power as august conspiracy theories get wackier who's conspiracy theories are getting wackier where they coming from. And what are they sure thing so even before by was inaugurated there were all these cunanan conspiracy theories saying this is the date. That trump will be reinstalled. These are the dates that the election will be overturned and they come out with a new one of these every couple months or so. They had to back to back ones that failed in march. They needed to have another date. They pushed to august. You know just a little breathing room. What was the reason that they stated or reasons that march ended up not worth. I'd trump just need more time to like redecorate mar-a-lago bedminster so these people aren't really focused on the reason for the failure. They're looking ahead. They glass half full. They're pivoting no they. The reason for their march predictions were that thought that there was an alternate inauguration day that was pegged to old laws before the phony government took over by vet clearly. Didn't pan out so they're not dwelling on it. The august state came about it was actually a lot of it was via our friend. Mike lindell the my pillow guy. Coup predicted august. Because he said that he wanted to get some lawsuits in front of the supreme court. He thought that would be rolling in july. And then by august they would have gone to their natural conclusion. And trump will be reinstated. So mike lindell. Who is a staunch trump ally and friend and also the joe and creator of my pillow or recurring character on the show and in our national consciousness yes and in our national consciousness. Of course he is one of the biggest drivers if not the biggest driver behind august august august. Can you tell our listeners. How much has been hedging on this for the past few months and he told the daily beast yesterday share so mike lindell has been promoting. August is like the probable probable timeline right. He's almost certainly the one who got it in trump's ear indirectly first and got to believe it right. Yeah and then in turn now. There's reporting that you and we'll have done that. Trump is going around telling folks that he thinks august is going to be the month for him so straight from the my pillow man to the shadow presidency. Mar-a-lago you've got this weird conspiracy theory that you want to dismiss but unfortunately people with power millions of fans are they follow it. So that's how the my pillow guy got. It started and recently. He has been hugging a lot of the august. Theory to this. cyber symposium. he's holding. That's going to reveal the true fraud behind the election. Bear in mind flees. he is already made. Three full length documentaries that about the election that have all been debunked. So i wouldn't hold your breath. I gotta talk about the cyber symposium. I mean this is for me the event of the year. Obviously there's a lot of talk about woodstock ninety nine if you like. This is kind of shaping up to be a similar event it is in what sioux falls south dakota this is gonna be mike lindell's inviting everybody. I mean it sounds like a like it's going to be a real crazy time. He's a friend of the pods. Actress over at salon says that according to the king of restful sleep will feature a mock election every two hours in which a hacker quote flips the votes on qualley quote. Cyber guy and quote goes into a soundproof room with headphones on and reappears moments later to decipher the meaning of packet capture. Now if that means anything to you you're not because it doesn't mean it's it's just craziness and it's gonna be mike lindell's inviting like every reporter. He talks to. It's going to be a great party. I think in possibly the end of american democracy. Kelly what do you think of the cyber symposium. oh man. it's so funny. A while ago. I wrote his mad at her possibly trying to cover a burning man in the cova era. And i'm not doing that. But i i think this is better right. This is like this is fire fast. No that sounds just absolutely insane. It started these prophetic events. That have been really churning this queue adjacent movement along when they've got very little to To go by their profit is gone and so they're just going out for successive woodstock events in big conferences. Were every couple hours. Somebody big has a website and calls for a myanmar style coup. Apparently mike lindell has bought out is supposedly every hotel room sioux fall so for this weekend sioux falls will be a my pillow company town. I mean it is going to be everywhere. I can't imagine. I think it is going to be like heightened levels of american delirium. I dunno sturgis for the election. fraud set. Maybe that's redundant and so. I think it's going to be a great experience on sad to visit. But i truly believe it will be some of the craziest news. We've seen this year. It sounds insane and it sounds worse than the to flatter conferences attended. Well that would certainly be something kelly. Additionally the ron watkins famously. The young man pegged as being q. The cuban cuban on. He's in this kind of stuff and he's getting in with lyndale. What's going on there. Oh yeah so ron. Watkins may or may not be cuba. He has been posting a lot of conspiracy theories contingent on mike. Lindell's cyber symposium saying look at all these things that are going to align in mid august we got the cyber symposium which is over multiple days. Saying something aligns with it. Let's let's take that with a grain of salt but also saying that there is an emergency broadcast system test on that day. And if you remember back in. I think two thousand eighteen will you wrote about. There is emergency broadcast system testing. Everyone thought thick trump was going to go on and announce the arrest of hillary clinton or whatever lo and behold didn't happen. But those two things are aligning again. And then just yesterday ron. Watkins was uploading what he said. Were on barnstorm new whistleblower. Papers from someone inside dominion immediately noted that those papers are publicly available online and it looks like somebody just printed them out and scan the back to telegram so ron is using his very few connected following. And just linking it right back up with dell. He'll i think you're underplaying your house serious. Ron made these leaks out. He said he literally gave the admiral akbar thing from where he's like. A lot of people died to get information you know and then it is as you said i mean it is just like you can go on the california secretaries as website and find these election machine manuals and he's just like like people really risk their lives to get this stuff out. There are whistle blower risked his life. He risked his family. And i'm like damn like. I don't even know if it has. Hp t. t. s. secure code the url. He got a raise.

"What is going on there. So the oath keepers are one of a couple of groups. The only other is the proud boys that are charged with some the really really heavy stuff. The conspiracy cases stemming out of the capitol riots. So when you're facing a conspiracy case like that it really is important that you act as a unit you know nobody rolling on each other but in the past few weeks we've had not one but i think three oath keepers take plea and cooperation deals which is not so great for everybody else facing charges right. Now it's sorta seems key if you're engaged in a conspiracy right. It kind of falls apart pretty quickly because a lot of the other rioters are kind of just people who seem to have just rushed around. Oh you know time to go. Fight some cops. Whatever they don't have much maybe jurat on but these oath keepers definitely do. And so what do you think this means for. Oath keepers leader stuart roads so suit roads has not been charged with anything yet. He very publicly let himself be photographed outside the capitol. The whole never inside never really white in the line of legal fire but if you look at these court filings damned. Does it look like investigators are sort of circling him and oath keepers leadership trying to say it's more than just the people who broke in and who had paramilitary gear going into the capital. I shouldn't laugh because he owns his nightmare. But these are the people who were like in the stack guys who had the cammo and the helmet. You army surplus sale. But ms criminal cases really look like prosecutors are trying to tie that really well known attack into the leadership may have planned in the base before the attack fever dreams listeners will remember stewart roads as the gentleman who is using allegedly oath keepers money to buy kettlebells at a lingerie store and a bunch of stakes for himself not unlike the hamburglar and this created a lot of a lot of trouble within the oath keepers in terms of the text messages. That have come out. I mean. I know there's a lot of material that the feds have been releasing in these court filings about the oh keepers plan. I mean my understanding is they had sort of a quote quick response force. That was chilling in a in a motel across the river in virginia. What are we learning about. What their plans. Where for january sex yet. So if you ask the oath keepers and say a quick response for us. I don't know anything about that. That was a mean. That was a joke in minecraft. If you look at the very compelling photographs that are starting to come out in these court cases it really looks like the oath keepers kept people in hotels with literal cases of rifles. There's a video of someone rolling something down a motel six or whatever. Hallway looks a hell of a lot like a rifle case and the logic there is that. Dc his super strict gun laws bringing a gun to dc. You're kind of asking for trouble. But have across the river in virginia and wait for the call from the leader and you can sit out there with a gun stashed pretty easily so to dig in a little bit more in this roads guy. Because i'm not sure how much our listeners know about him specifically you also note in the story that roses wife is also currently crowdfunding money to divorce him. Can you tell us a little bit more about him. And why is his wife crowdfunding clerk. I gotta get away for this creep. Why is she crowdfunding money. Publicly divorce the guy. That's an awkward one. In the old household till this actually predates the oath keepers. Most recent brush with fame. His wife filed for divorce in twenty eighteen. Alleging you know some of wouldn't you know it some nasty behavior on his part for her children. I think toward a neighbor and she filed a petition for a restraining order. That got denied. So like a lot of divorce. Cases that are disputed. It's been held up in court for ages. She doesn't have the money to keep fighting this. She says that people don't really wanna take on her case because it means taking on all the baggage with it so she's been crowdfunding to just get the hell away from this guy and they are extremes. It's not like they have to discuss this dinner table. If you ever want to make a case in divorce court there you go. The guy sounds like a real winner but in your reporting about how these leaders tearing apart the organization one of the primary complaints here that people are doing too much snitching in the other oath keepers or getting mad at these supposed tough guys who just keeps snitching on each other so this is sort of laying bare some conflicts that have been happening in the oath keepers for a little while you refer to suit roads registry spending organization money in light lingerie and iphone games. Bets been a percolating complaints more recently as oath keepers have stepped up their kind of pro trump militancy. Stop the steel kind of thing members of the organization of walks. You know they. They've pointed to these past financial os and said. Hey man you've gotta sort this out and nobody did too now that it looks like there's not much loyalty going on in courts. You're starting to see a lot of folks turn either accepting plea deals or a lot. More people talking to the media about their concerns inside the group then he would have heard in past years. Where do you think. This is all headed in terms of the oath keepers. Are they done. I mean is this going to be the the nail in the coffin for this crew. Because already we're seeing the kind of classic way of getting rid of someone embarrassing or an organization that's embarrassing which is on the right which is just saying they're all feds informants and kind of wind saying you know. This isn't our problem. Are the oath keepers. are they done for. Are they going to. My sense is that they can kind of break up into a bunch of pieces. Yeah i think that's a good way of thinking of it because oath keepers chapters. Have in the past kinda gone autonomous from the national organization but last week i was talking to a former oath keeper and i said what do you think what are people leaving the organization over this and he said i would guess about fifteen percent of dues. Paying members have left after january six. He said everybody else is a lemming. He said they're gonna follow sewer roads off the cliff so you know. I think it's it's going to depend on people's sense of self preservation. Some smarter ones might hack it up might form splinter groups but there are some people who are diehards and we're going to be there until the prosecution comes for them great.

"Now this podcast is no. You're absolutely right. But yes then that leads us to the oath keepers now swing. How are you with gamers. They are like a slightly more dignified version of the proud boys nowadays. They're kind of like like graduate like after shouting at the gen z pro-choice to please get off my lawn. I mean like literally like typically called like boomers right and so i guess the basic thing about the okay. I understand is that. They're often former cops and former military in the idea is that they keep their oath to.
