Speaker 1: What's anonymous my queueses. Robert Evans hosted Behind the Bastards,
Speaker 1: the podcast where we tell you everything you don't know
Speaker 1: about the worst people in all of history. Uh. And
Speaker 1: of course today is a very special day. We are
Speaker 1: talking about Q and on one of the bastards behind
Speaker 1: it uh and I'm I'm doing it with uh several
Speaker 1: co hosts today the collective who hosts the Q and
Speaker 1: on Anonymous podcast? You guys want to introduce yourselves. Travis View,
Speaker 1: I am Jake Rocketanski and Julian Field is the third wheel.
Speaker 1: I every car needs a third wheel, otherwise it would
Speaker 1: be a bicycle. You can be our fourth baby doll,
Speaker 1: and I will be defeat sticking through the floor. I
Speaker 1: want to be the flint stone feed Now, now that
Speaker 1: we're going with a fun car analogy, I want to
Speaker 1: do something better. Come on now, Uh. We we we
Speaker 1: have some weird similarities. Is that all of us are
Speaker 1: people who started paying attention to different sections of eight
Speaker 1: chan uh several years in the past for reasons that
Speaker 1: are difficult to explain to anyone, including ourselves, and then
Speaker 1: found our weird little obsession turned into meaningful news and
Speaker 1: suddenly had to Field calls from the Washington Post and stuff.
Speaker 1: Uh super weird, isn't it. We were doing the fun
Speaker 1: Nazis and you were doing the real Nazis. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were doing like the goofiest Knatzi used who believed
Speaker 1: in like you know, underground tunnels and ye know, and
Speaker 1: uh coming military trimbunals. It was fantastical and the body
Speaker 1: count was relatively low, so that that that makes our
Speaker 1: work I think a little bit more entertaining. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: imagine like a war where the only guy who died
Speaker 1: was a mob boss. Yeah, pretty pretty good. And uh,
Speaker 1: in case some listeners don't know, both the the neo
Speaker 1: Nazis on h Chan who were responsible for all those
Speaker 1: mass shootings and the people who are kind of like
Speaker 1: driving the Q and on movement are are We're located
Speaker 1: on eight Chan at different sections. There was the Q
Speaker 1: research board, which is obvious what that was, and then
Speaker 1: there's the poll board, which is where all the Nazis were.
Speaker 1: There was a bit across pollination, but as not as
Speaker 1: much as some people think. I know it was. It's like, um,
Speaker 1: it's like those old Gary Larson cartoons, um, where they
Speaker 1: would show you know, it would be like the skydiving
Speaker 1: school and then like the crocodile farm right next to it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for for the for the real Nazis. They looked at
Speaker 1: the Q and On board and they're like, nah, that
Speaker 1: that looks like vulcans occultism, dude, we left that behind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's funny. On the on the Q research board, on
Speaker 1: every single thread, someone posted of some like really heavily
Speaker 1: anti Semitic ship about like the Jewish question um and stuff,
Speaker 1: and they actually wound up blaming me. They thought that
Speaker 1: I was sort of seeding this information to try to
Speaker 1: make them look the more anti Semitic they actually are.
Speaker 1: I was not denied it. That's become common theme. They
Speaker 1: also thought that we brought um, that we brought plants
Speaker 1: to the Q and On rally a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago to make them, to make them look stupider and
Speaker 1: and than they already are. My favorite is Jocas Aben
Speaker 1: of the Lines Led by Donkeys podcast. He responded to
Speaker 1: our tweet where where it was like me pictured with
Speaker 1: all these Q and On influencers, and he was like
Speaker 1: did they know that? Like you were the host of
Speaker 1: qu on anonymous and then one of the influencers answered
Speaker 1: did they care? But it was too late he had replied,
Speaker 1: so he clearly showed that he cared. So sad and
Speaker 1: I was like, clearly they did, and no answer to that.
Speaker 1: That's adorable. Well, today we're here to talk about somebody
Speaker 1: who is not adorable. Uh, we're here to talk about
Speaker 1: Bill Mitchell. Um who is uh I don't know, iluminary
Speaker 1: of the of the Q movement. That's not the right
Speaker 1: term to use at all for Bill Mitchell. Nothing should
Speaker 1: describe him as aluminary. How would you describe Bill Mitchell?
Speaker 1: I think he's luminous. If you look at him, everything
Speaker 1: is just like a pale light. It just fucking blows
Speaker 1: out your eyes. He's the white Wizard of Maga. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: I once uh, I think I once described him as
Speaker 1: looking like a child who has a secret. Totally. Well,
Speaker 1: Bill is an interesting piece of ship and we're gonna
Speaker 1: have fun talking about him today. Um So, Billiam Mitchell,
Speaker 1: I've decided that's his real first name because I can't
Speaker 1: find like a middle name or anything for him, So
Speaker 1: so we're gonna go with Billiam was born in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty one or thereabouts, somewhere in Germany. His father was
Speaker 1: an army colonel, his mother was a college professor. Now
Speaker 1: on Twitter, Bill has claimed that his dad wound up
Speaker 1: working for the Joint Chiefs in the Pentagon at one
Speaker 1: point and served in Koba in Vietnam. It's possible this
Speaker 1: is true. It's also possible it's a lie because Bill
Speaker 1: Mitchell lies constantly. There's really no way to know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as a general rule, I like to have as much
Speaker 1: info as I can about these people's early lives, and unfortunately,
Speaker 1: in Bill's case, there's not a lot of information to
Speaker 1: go on. There aren't any super detailed profiles that delve
Speaker 1: into his early life and background, and it kind of
Speaker 1: seems like he doesn't want to go into much detail
Speaker 1: about it, which is understandable. Uh. He graduated from the
Speaker 1: University of Maryland in nineteen eighty two with a degree
Speaker 1: in accounting and finance and was apparently a big theater buff,
Speaker 1: which you can really see in his videos. Clearly a
Speaker 1: guy who likes putting on a show. Jesus start superstar
Speaker 1: kind of guy. Yeah. Yeah, if you haven't looked at this, dude,
Speaker 1: you owe it to yourself. He has like the perfect
Speaker 1: executive hair, um like like this, this white bowl on
Speaker 1: his head, very distinguished looking. And he has a chin
Speaker 1: like Jean Claude van Damme if he didn't exercise. Is
Speaker 1: how I would describe his chin. Uh, chiseled and flabby
Speaker 1: at the same time, which is very difficult to pull off.
Speaker 1: He border character. I was gonna say, he looks like
Speaker 1: a like a character you might create and like g
Speaker 1: t a online like he looks like he looks like
Speaker 1: if you played Fallout, the robot president who would like
Speaker 1: speak over the radio. If that guy was a person,
Speaker 1: he would look like Bill Mitchell. Yeah now Bill, Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said, lifelong Republican. In the nineteen nineties, he
Speaker 1: fell in love with Ross Perot as a businessman, he
Speaker 1: himself he liked the idea of having the country run
Speaker 1: by businessman and uh, I think that that's a thing
Speaker 1: only businessman thing. I don't think members of other professions
Speaker 1: tend to think one of us should run the entire country. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you're you're you're accustomed to uh telling other people what
Speaker 1: to do, if you're like a CEO, then this, like
Speaker 1: the president, is just another variation of that. I guess, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: And clearly corporations and countries have the same goal. Uh,
Speaker 1: maximizing shareholder value. Yeah now um. For the most part,
Speaker 1: politics played a fairly minor role in Bill's life, and
Speaker 1: he focused instead on his career running an executive recruitment
Speaker 1: firm he founded. Has no wife or children. He threw
Speaker 1: everything into his work back when it's still existed. His
Speaker 1: company website executive decision dot biz You've gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1: Dot com not available? No, No, he could get dot
Speaker 1: biz baby dot z Yeah, the classiest domain. Um. He
Speaker 1: bragged that his bold, proactive style quote empowers clients to
Speaker 1: acquire the finest staff on target, on time, every time.
Speaker 1: In a BuzzFeed profile in two thousand sixteen, Charlie Warzel
Speaker 1: noted quote his Yahoo answers profile, stretching back more than
Speaker 1: a decade, paints a fuller picture across hundreds of questions
Speaker 1: and answers. Mitchell reveals a successful recovery from colon cancer,
Speaker 1: a frequent desired for feedback on whether or not to
Speaker 1: color his graying hair, and endless mundane curiosities ranging from
Speaker 1: the silly why do Jack Russell owners all look like
Speaker 1: they want to kill themselves? Would a bumble bee? The
Speaker 1: size of a man be able to fly to the
Speaker 1: more existential. What is intuition and how often is it correct?
Speaker 1: Why not pick create a condom that covers just the
Speaker 1: top bench of your penis he and uh, he and
Speaker 1: Matthew Whittaker should get together and team up. I love
Speaker 1: that the guy has never tried just not pulling it
Speaker 1: all the way down, just like you can test that
Speaker 1: out yourself. Bill. I. I love that you say that
Speaker 1: because it means that you and Bill had the exact
Speaker 1: same thought at some point, but you translated into action.
Speaker 1: That is slander, sir. I like to pull my condom
Speaker 1: all around my balls. Wait this, Uh, these Yahoo answers
Speaker 1: are like a treasure troue because I remember when when
Speaker 1: we I tried to do some dig up some research
Speaker 1: on Mitchell and the same thing. It was really hard
Speaker 1: to find. But like hearing these answers, it's like looking
Speaker 1: at it's like okay Cupid profile or something like. I
Speaker 1: feel you could get to know the man. Yeah, Charlie
Speaker 1: Warzel is a good journalist and did a good job
Speaker 1: of digging into this guy. So in the midas, Bill
Speaker 1: moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte, I said it Charlotte,
Speaker 1: which is very wrong. I don't know why Charlotte, North Carolina.
Speaker 1: He was there in two fifteen when Donald Trump, famous
Speaker 1: rapist slash casino owner, wrote down the elevator of his
Speaker 1: skyscraper to announce the start of a presidential campaign. Watching
Speaker 1: at home, Bill Mitchell saw an opportunity. He had no
Speaker 1: history and entertainment at this point, or political journalism. His
Speaker 1: social media presence was minimal. He had less than a
Speaker 1: hundred followers. But Bill was inspired by Donald Trump, and
Speaker 1: he had something that no real journalist or pundit could
Speaker 1: possibly have, a bone deep, perfect, almost religious certainty that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was going to win the election. So chilling
Speaker 1: to see. It's chilling to see the parallels with Jake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he has a platform and before two thousand sixteen nothing,
Speaker 1: My hair is going gray. Yeah, yeah, it's Uh, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of us who are in vaguely similar boats
Speaker 1: to Bill Um just because we live in a hell
Speaker 1: age where where all expertise has collapsed in on itself.
Speaker 1: And so anybody who's good at tweeting, Uh, you can.
Speaker 1: You can write Washington Post articles under a fake name.
Speaker 1: It's a whole new world. We are the news now
Speaker 1: say yes, yes, and it's uh, nothing but positives to
Speaker 1: that being the case. So Bill started tweeting, because what
Speaker 1: else are you gonna do? You're certain of something that
Speaker 1: nobody else believes. He tweeted his herd and as fast
Speaker 1: as anyone has ever tweeted before. Over the course of
Speaker 1: the election, he posted an average of two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy times per day. How did you pull up these metrics,
Speaker 1: Charlie Warzel did, like put that together? I guess, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that's so many tweets like I'm I I spent
Speaker 1: too We all spend too much time on Twitter. That
Speaker 1: is way too much. Five minutes, but that's if you
Speaker 1: did over twenty four hours. You gotta sleep right well,
Speaker 1: I mean, how does he keep his figure? I mean
Speaker 1: I would imagine that he would look like like the
Speaker 1: fat people strapped to the floating chairs and Wally, you know,
Speaker 1: just glued to his phone going like mag I'm I
Speaker 1: don't think he eats. I think he subsists entirely on
Speaker 1: the energy he gets from hot takes, hot takes in cocaine.
Speaker 1: Uh So some of his best takes, collected by Mr Warzl,
Speaker 1: are as follows. You notice how close. Trump stands to
Speaker 1: this black man as he listens to him. No racist
Speaker 1: whatever to that. If you think about it, Hillary putting
Speaker 1: women into baskets maybe one of the most sexist things
Speaker 1: ever set in a political campaign. Trump's ground game isn't
Speaker 1: in a computer, It's in our hearts. Imagine poles don't exist.
Speaker 1: Show me evidence Hillary is winning. Jesus was perfect in
Speaker 1: the media of his day. Had him crucified. Paco's pilot
Speaker 1: was Rupert Murdoch. Yeah, ponscious pilot was the Fox New World.
Speaker 1: I guess CNN of King Herod was actually um Jake Tapper. Well,
Speaker 1: now that's not even a conspiracy. Jake Tapper is eternal,
Speaker 1: like we've all that is true. Yes, that's true. And
Speaker 1: Chris Chris Cuomo is is closing in slowly. He will
Speaker 1: be eternal soon. Yeah, the the entire history of the world,
Speaker 1: it's like the Dark Tower series, but instead of those
Speaker 1: the characters Stephen King came up with, it's just Jake
Speaker 1: Tapper and uh fucking Haraldo Rivera like battling throughout time
Speaker 1: to God's muscles, rippling falling through clouds. Well you know
Speaker 1: what you trace back Messopotamia. Then Jesus probably looked a
Speaker 1: lot more like Haraldo Rivera than he did. Oddly enough,
Speaker 1: Jesus was also hit in the face with a chair
Speaker 1: during an episode of his talk a chair he built.
Speaker 1: So Bill Mitchell started a podcast, Your Voice Radio, where
Speaker 1: he expanded upon his political theories and talked to other
Speaker 1: Trump world luminaries like Jack Piso Bik. In his interview
Speaker 1: with BuzzFeed, Bill described Your Voice as a number one
Speaker 1: political talk show, even though it only racked up a
Speaker 1: few thousand downloads per episode. I can't say precisely how
Speaker 1: popular it is now. But Spreaker, which is a podcasting platform,
Speaker 1: says the whole series has about five eighty one thousand
Speaker 1: total streams, which isn't bad, but is nowhere near number one. Um,
Speaker 1: not even particularly close. We have double that on soundclod. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get about that much in a week. Um, and
Speaker 1: we're not a number one podcast. Like see boys, I
Speaker 1: told you it was going to be a good collaboration. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Bill Mitchell's listening and he's like, oh, I thought it
Speaker 1: was pretty good. But there's only about three hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people in the world. Bill social media presence quickly grew
Speaker 1: from the hundreds to the thousands and then to the
Speaker 1: tens of thousands. Uh. And like I think by the
Speaker 1: time that BuzzFeed article was done, like kind of near
Speaker 1: the end of the election, he had about ninety thousand
Speaker 1: Twitter followers. Now, Bill's Twitter work was way more popular
Speaker 1: than his number one political talk show. In fact, he
Speaker 1: grew to become one of the single most influential people
Speaker 1: in the two thousand sixteen election. And I hate that.
Speaker 1: I'm serious about that. Uh. The M I T Media
Speaker 1: Lab like crunched a bunch of numbers on it and
Speaker 1: found him to be the twenty six most influential person
Speaker 1: on Twitter of the entire election, accusing this by pedophiles incredible.
Speaker 1: He's the highest ranked non politician or a journalist. To
Speaker 1: give you some idea of how good Bill was it Twitter,
Speaker 1: he wound up one place below Mitt Romney, one place
Speaker 1: above the official GOP Twitter account, two places above Megan Kelly,
Speaker 1: three above the Drudge Report, four above Paul Ryan, and
Speaker 1: five above former President George W. Bush. So you gotta
Speaker 1: give he's good at Twitter. Even though I owe my
Speaker 1: being able to do this podcast to Twitter, I because
Speaker 1: of stuff like that. I would not object to just
Speaker 1: burning Twitter to the ground. Yeah, yes, yes, does Bill
Speaker 1: Mitchell even know these stats about himself? I mean, this
Speaker 1: is I feel like he would be. Of course, Bill
Speaker 1: Mitchell wakes up every morning touching himself to these. So
Speaker 1: he credits his success at Twitter with his skill at
Speaker 1: using language. Quote, I've always been clever with words as
Speaker 1: a recruiter. I make my living as a communicator. I'm
Speaker 1: good with word images and painting pictures with a short
Speaker 1: phrase here and there that people can relate to. When
Speaker 1: asked how much time he spends making his tweets, he
Speaker 1: dis missed the idea that there's you know, any planning
Speaker 1: mind them. I'm just firing the thoughts out as I
Speaker 1: come to them. I have an interesting take, you see.
Speaker 1: I delve into the internals and really tell people what's
Speaker 1: going on, and it's given me some fame. Now. As
Speaker 1: ab served as Bill seems to most people, he clearly
Speaker 1: has a gift for communicating with a very specific segment
Speaker 1: of the American populace. But the last month of the election,
Speaker 1: he averaged forty retweets and ten million Twitter impressions per day.
Speaker 1: Holy sh it. Yeah, that's terrified, and it's really evidence
Speaker 1: that the key is to just never stop posting, um,
Speaker 1: never stopped posting, and never always pander, pander and post Right.
Speaker 1: He actually spends all day just opening um Chinese fortune
Speaker 1: cookies and just tweeting that out. Yeah yeah, that it's
Speaker 1: that's actually really close to what he is. Um. He
Speaker 1: also credited his success to the fact that he speaks
Speaker 1: for a chunk of the American populace that even the
Speaker 1: conservative media never let to speak. Quote. These are the
Speaker 1: people who call into rush Limbaugh and who hold on
Speaker 1: the line and never get on air. My tweets cut
Speaker 1: on because I was saying out loud and using my
Speaker 1: talent for words to say what they wanted. Like, I
Speaker 1: speak for the people that Rush Limbaughs, Like y'all are
Speaker 1: fucking nuts. Yes, the tweets you pull up while you're
Speaker 1: waiting for a fucking opioid addicts to answer the line.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. So while most of Bill's followers seem to
Speaker 1: be committed Trump fans who appreciated his takes, a sizeable
Speaker 1: number of them were liberal hate watchers, gleefully watching bills
Speaker 1: increasingly unhinged predictions and laughing at him. They took particular
Speaker 1: joy and mocking his attitude towards Poles do you see
Speaker 1: Do you see what you did, Travis, Do you see
Speaker 1: what you've done to this country? Very funny looking at
Speaker 1: these guys and now they're president. Very funny, these guys,
Speaker 1: these guys who have no influence on my life until
Speaker 1: until they do, until they run the country. This tweet
Speaker 1: is pretty emblematic of the kinds of things he was
Speaker 1: saying in the months leading up to the election. This
Speaker 1: is from August two thousand sixteen. A poll is a hypothesis.
Speaker 1: Rallies and social media presence are empirical evidence. A hypothesis
Speaker 1: unsupported by empirical evidence is wrong. Yeah, oh yeah, And
Speaker 1: you bring up Nate Silver. Absolutely beautiful. Just the guy,
Speaker 1: the data guy, data boy, the data man. Now. Nate
Speaker 1: Silver responded to this tweet with a tweet set to
Speaker 1: the tune of John Lennon's imagine imagine there's no polls.
Speaker 1: It's easy if you try. No puwre quinnipac on crowd
Speaker 1: size we rely, which is not not a bad joke,
Speaker 1: but he ironically right, like I would love it if
Speaker 1: they fucking eliminated the polls and actually looked at the
Speaker 1: groundswell of people. Yeah, yeah, Bill was actually way more
Speaker 1: in the right than the Nate on this one, which
Speaker 1: is weird. Um Like, even as a guy who doesn't
Speaker 1: like Nate Silver, it's very unfortunate. Um. And in fact
Speaker 1: Bill kind of developed a reputation for being the right
Speaker 1: wings Nate Silver equivalent. While Nate was wonky, evidence focused
Speaker 1: and data driven, Bill Mitchell ran on pure gut instinct.
Speaker 1: The divide between the two men's methodologies embodied the divide
Speaker 1: between conservative and liberal in America. For his part, Bill
Speaker 1: attacked the polls for being fundamentally flawed and complained that
Speaker 1: they didn't really represent voters in the election. Since so
Speaker 1: many of Trump's voters had been a political before two
Speaker 1: thousand sixteen, they weren't the sort of folks posters talked to.
Speaker 1: He argued that crowd size was a better predictor. Quote
Speaker 1: if you arrived here from Mars today and you didn't
Speaker 1: speak English, but you saw Trump every single day of
Speaker 1: the week at these rallies. He's dominating online, he's dominating
Speaker 1: yard signs and rallies and all the physical things we
Speaker 1: can see. You'd think this guy is winning. If it
Speaker 1: were up to me, i'd make polling illegal. This is
Speaker 1: just my dream world. Yeah, He's like, polling doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: We should make it illegal. Yeah, band poles um And
Speaker 1: I'm a fucking Martian that like came to like discovered
Speaker 1: a new fucking planet. And the first thing I do
Speaker 1: is like wander into a Maga rally. He actually does
Speaker 1: look like a Martian wearing a skin suit. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: if if a Martian wandered into a Maga rally, oh boy, here,
Speaker 1: get about it. Here, he's a literal alien. He's a
Speaker 1: literal illegal alien. Oh boy. Now. Bill's level of connection
Speaker 1: to the Trump campaign was heavily debated. For his part,
Speaker 1: he claimed to be in regular contact with the Trump
Speaker 1: brothers and several other workers on the campaign. Digging done
Speaker 1: by Buzzfeeds Charlie Warzell indicated that this was not the case,
Speaker 1: and instead suggested that most of the people close to
Speaker 1: Trump found him fundamentally irritating. Quote. He thought he was
Speaker 1: going to be in charge of a Trump group in
Speaker 1: North Carolina months ago, and when he got there he
Speaker 1: found out he wasn't in left deciding not to be
Speaker 1: a part of source said. Mitchell plays this down, alleging
Speaker 1: that he volunteered to run so social media for the
Speaker 1: campaign in North Carolina, but quit after a few weeks,
Speaker 1: deciding his personal account was more helpful to the campaign. Still,
Speaker 1: one source believes there's tension between Mitchell and the campaign,
Speaker 1: explaining that earlier this year, Trump advisor and social media
Speaker 1: director Dan Scovino unfollowed Mitchell after an incessant series of
Speaker 1: Twitter direct messages filled with pointers about how wrong they
Speaker 1: were doing social media. Um yeah, yeah, and I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna say that Bill is wrong there. Uh, he might
Speaker 1: be better than so at social media than anyone Trump
Speaker 1: actually paid to do the job. Uh, but that's how
Speaker 1: politics works. I mean, Bill Mitchell is is is a
Speaker 1: never ending tweet storm. It's like if yees, if fucking
Speaker 1: Seth Abramson never took a breath, that would be just
Speaker 1: gave me the fear. Now. In that BuzzFeed article, Charlie
Speaker 1: declared Bill to be the post truth, postmath anti Nate Silver.
Speaker 1: It was not an unfriendly depiction, but the clear implication
Speaker 1: was that he was a bit of a nut and
Speaker 1: November two thousand sixteen was going to prove all of
Speaker 1: his silly predictions wrong. And as we all know, that
Speaker 1: did not happen. But Thursday after the election, Bill texted
Speaker 1: Charlie and asked, Hi, Charlie, will BuzzFeed be doing a
Speaker 1: post truth follow up article on me? Smiley face now.
Speaker 1: To his credit, Charlie Warstle fessed up to being owned
Speaker 1: pretty hard by Bill Mitchell. He did, in fact write
Speaker 1: a follow up article which revealed that Bill had spent
Speaker 1: election night alone in his home studio interacting with his
Speaker 1: Twitter followers, who by that point numbered nearly a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand. So because of his kind of relentless
Speaker 1: uh predictioning I don't know what you want to call it,
Speaker 1: Bill was treated as sort of an oracle. In the
Speaker 1: immediate wake of Trump's upset election victory, he took the
Speaker 1: opportunity to try to rebrand himself as a political pundit.
Speaker 1: He told Charlie Warzl that he thought Jared Kushner would
Speaker 1: hire him to work at Trump TV, which was the
Speaker 1: thing he thought would exist very soon. Bill raised ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for his YouTube show and got his radio
Speaker 1: show syndicated on Cleveland a M Radio. Since his first
Speaker 1: set of predictions had worked so well, he started making many,
Speaker 1: many more like this one. I think the Wall will
Speaker 1: become the next great American monument. Like the Statue of
Speaker 1: Liberty Wall is a monument to our sovereignty. That's what
Speaker 1: I'd say if I were on his marketing team. That's amazing,
Speaker 1: because that's like the Great Wall of China if you
Speaker 1: couldn't walk on it. Yeah, yeah, if it had like
Speaker 1: no aesthetic value and also wasn't an impressive technical creation. Uh,
Speaker 1: now you know it is an impressive technical creation. Guys,
Speaker 1: what the products and services that that support this podcast? Uh? Pat,
Speaker 1: you fucking waited for us to say what this is incredible?
Speaker 1: And and and notice that Julian and Travis said nothing,
Speaker 1: and me, the fucking like the village idiot, was like, yes,
Speaker 1: well tell me more. Yeah, this is how we fucking
Speaker 1: sell some goddamn dick pills. So congratulations, y'all are now
Speaker 1: part of the erection industrial complex. I hope you're proud.
Speaker 1: I'm just glad this week it's dick pills products. We're back. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're still talking about Bill Mitch uh be Mitch old Bill.
Speaker 1: I can't come up with a good nickname for Michell
Speaker 1: Mitchell Bitchell. Damn it. How did that not occur to me?
Speaker 1: I feel very ashamed of this fact. So a few
Speaker 1: months after the election, Bill showed up at Spack and
Speaker 1: Seeing and declared him the happiest man at the convention,
Speaker 1: which was probably a true. I'm gonna quote from their
Speaker 1: article on him. I'm kind of a national figure now,
Speaker 1: Mitchell said in an interview over Breakfast. Mitchell said he
Speaker 1: took a big pay cut to launch his radio show
Speaker 1: about six months ago. He's now in talks with a
Speaker 1: number of investor groups about syndicating the program Your Voice Radio,
Speaker 1: which currently streams on YouTube. To me, I'm fifty six
Speaker 1: years old, Mitchell said, this is a wonderful opportunity to
Speaker 1: self actualize, to do something that really matters to him.
Speaker 1: He's fifty six to u. But unfortunately for Bill and
Speaker 1: many other right wing grifters who hoped the Trump years
Speaker 1: would bring them tremendous wealth and power, he proved to
Speaker 1: be somewhat less adept once he moved on from simply
Speaker 1: cheerleading a Trump victory and tried to build a brand
Speaker 1: as a right wing thought leader. His first terrible mistake
Speaker 1: in January of two thousand seventeen was attacking Pepe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: did you guys know? Bill went to war with Pepe? Briefly?
Speaker 1: I did not know, yeah, he really gave away his
Speaker 1: sort of like his boomer tendency is there. This is
Speaker 1: what happens when you give our topics to a real journalist.
Speaker 1: He plays to us. So he tweeted on January second,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm really sick of this damn green frog.
Speaker 1: Who the hell thought it was a good mascot? Uh? Yeah?
Speaker 1: The war on the mouse and Chuck e cheese Yeah,
Speaker 1: Bill um. Now, like anyone who attacks the kind of
Speaker 1: things that are popular with Channers, Bill was delused in
Speaker 1: a flood of hateful comments. Janners started making fake Bill
Speaker 1: Mitchell tweets which portrayed him as a Hall of Cost denier,
Speaker 1: because that's like the only the only thing in their
Speaker 1: bag is like, well, let's make him into a Holocaust denier,
Speaker 1: you know now, Rather than you know, analyze the movement
Speaker 1: he'd become a part of and acknowledged that it had
Speaker 1: a hateful side, Bill took a different tactic. He decided
Speaker 1: to brilliam Holocaust survivor George Soros for the fake accounts.
Speaker 1: I'm being attacked by thousands of accounts that didn't even
Speaker 1: exist during the election, Almost no followers astroturfed Soros bs incredible. Yeah.
Speaker 1: In another tweet, he called them soro spots. Um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: very so. He decided to like counter accusations of being
Speaker 1: extremely santi Semitic by being more dog whistley anti semitic.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, he sure did. Yeah, he sure did, which
Speaker 1: is a bold move. Um. Yeah. You gotta respect the
Speaker 1: the ability to zig and zag. Yeah. And you can
Speaker 1: see those the non tendencies starting to bubble to the surface.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And he he gets closer and closer to
Speaker 1: that as the years go on. As the last three
Speaker 1: years have played out, he's increasingly, uh, sort of sold
Speaker 1: himself to the most extreme chunks of the American right wing.
Speaker 1: In late two thousands seventeen, he started tweeting about Q
Speaker 1: and On Now. Bill has always seemed less enthralled with
Speaker 1: the specifics of the Q and On conspiracy or the
Speaker 1: individual Q drops than he was with the cults recklessly
Speaker 1: pro Trump version of reality. On one episode of his
Speaker 1: radio show, he said this, what Q was trying to
Speaker 1: do is motivate and encourage the base by what is
Speaker 1: their hashtag? Trust the plan? What's the alternative to that question?
Speaker 1: In doubt everything Donald Trump does. Constantly attack Donald Trump
Speaker 1: from all these different sides. Every time he makes a
Speaker 1: move that you and your linear small mind don't understand
Speaker 1: that he and his strategic mind is setting up the
Speaker 1: board for a win. But you don't get it. He
Speaker 1: sacrifices his night because he's planning on checkmating your king
Speaker 1: in five moves. But all of a sudden you go
Speaker 1: out there and you're freaking out and pulling an end
Speaker 1: culture on him. Is that what we should be doing?
Speaker 1: What would make it better? Would that be a better world?
Speaker 1: Would that make us more mega? What do you want?
Speaker 1: What do you want? They're like, Oh, you're lowering us
Speaker 1: into a false sense of security by giving you confidence
Speaker 1: in Trump that Trump has got a plan to know
Speaker 1: what the hell he's doing in all this? How does
Speaker 1: that low anyone into a false sense of confidence? That
Speaker 1: is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard in
Speaker 1: the world. I can't he's successful because I can't remember
Speaker 1: the first sentence. Well, basically, I think, I mean, correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. But basically, instead of when somebody
Speaker 1: says trust the plan, instead of being like, well, what
Speaker 1: what's the plan, he's like, well, he's like, what I mean,
Speaker 1: what else are you gonna do? Not trust in not
Speaker 1: trust the unknown plan, Like, what do you think? He's
Speaker 1: just a senile boomer tweeting and random and yelling at people.
Speaker 1: Are you gonna what are you gonna think? What do
Speaker 1: you think there's not some sort of preordained celestial influence
Speaker 1: that's guiding all of this? Uh jeez, yeah, it's um,
Speaker 1: it's quite something to watch now. In other tweets, Bill
Speaker 1: has described the Q and On movement as harmless fun
Speaker 1: and having o downside, and it's worth noting that both
Speaker 1: of those tweets were made after several separate Q and
Speaker 1: On believers committed murders or other attacks in ques name.
Speaker 1: Just this, just this. Last August, Bill tweeted, if Q
Speaker 1: and on is wrong, it's harmless fun. If Q and
Speaker 1: on is right, the deep state is screwed. I like
Speaker 1: those odds. To be fair to Mitchell, he only checks
Speaker 1: the news when he's not tweeting, so he hasn't read
Speaker 1: the news in like ten years. I also like that
Speaker 1: he like it's just more evidence he has no idea
Speaker 1: what odds are, like, like fundamentally doesn't understand what the
Speaker 1: word means. That makes it more powerful though ironically, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's he's like Han Solo. Yeah, he's so dedicating being
Speaker 1: the anti anti Nate Silver. He doesn't even understand how
Speaker 1: numbers work. When I you know, if he really is
Speaker 1: the anti Nate Silver. One of my goals for the
Speaker 1: next year because I expect albeit at an event we're
Speaker 1: both Bill Mitchell and Nate Silver are present, I want
Speaker 1: to try and mash them together. I think if they
Speaker 1: make physical contact, they might explode and destroy us. All
Speaker 1: let's save the greater universe. Yeah, that's my goal. Or
Speaker 1: create free energy for all of us, or create free energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that might be the solution to global warming. Is just
Speaker 1: like tie Nate Silver and Bill Mitchell together and stick
Speaker 1: them in some sort of crude reactor. Yeah, they're like,
Speaker 1: it's it's like you know what positive and negative battery
Speaker 1: that you just if you glue them together and sort
Speaker 1: of yeah, stuff them under some sort of fission reactor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that this is the key to to like free energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Nate Silver and Bill Mitchell mashed together like fucking Reese's
Speaker 1: Pieces sixty nine. Baby. Now, someone with a charitable opinion
Speaker 1: towards Bill might be inclined to suggest that he didn't
Speaker 1: believe all the media hype about the q movements increasingly
Speaker 1: violent rhetoric, but Bill's own rhetoric has grown increasingly violent
Speaker 1: in the years since Trump's election. This past May, on
Speaker 1: an episode of Your Voice America, he stated that Democrats
Speaker 1: really have become the party of Satan. He asked his
Speaker 1: followers to pray for their president to have the wisdom
Speaker 1: of God as he fights against the dem on might
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. At this point, we are fighting
Speaker 1: against evil. He went on to add, this feels like
Speaker 1: the last day. Sometimes it's because he's just alone in
Speaker 1: his basement with his run out of food. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's remarkable. I I love the idea that the Democrats
Speaker 1: are the party of the devil because it gives them
Speaker 1: so much power than they actually have, as opposed to
Speaker 1: being like the party that roughly forty people in the
Speaker 1: United States are passionate about and the rest are just like, well,
Speaker 1: they're not literal Nazis, so I guess this is the best.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's it's if only I wish Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi would embrace Baha met like on an altar in
Speaker 1: front of the Senate Like that would be such such
Speaker 1: a great day. I'm here for that. Yeah, alas she
Speaker 1: starts sacrificing chickens. Now, I'm going to quote from a
Speaker 1: right wing Watch article on Bill Now quote Mitchell said
Speaker 1: the fact that he has repeatedly called Democrats the party
Speaker 1: of Satan on Twitter, and no Democrats have replied to
Speaker 1: dispute the claim as evidence that he is right. Never once.
Speaker 1: He said. It's like in their contract, they're not allowed
Speaker 1: to deny it. I don't know, it's weird. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: sacrificed children. You know, people people with a contract with
Speaker 1: Satan can't lie about their other contract with Satan. Well. No,
Speaker 1: Satan is commonly known as the Prince of Truth. That's
Speaker 1: what everybody calls him. Yeah, it's like with cops. If
Speaker 1: you ask them, are you a cop? They have to say,
Speaker 1: and they have to tell you if they worship Satan. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: both of those things are true about cops. So uh.
Speaker 1: Less than a week before I wrote this article, in
Speaker 1: September of two thousand nineteen, Bill Mitchell started trying to
Speaker 1: sell Trump branded bullets to his four Twitter phone. He
Speaker 1: retweeted a link to the Republican Legions store selling Punisher
Speaker 1: Trump branded nine millimeter hollow points. He wrote, retweet if
Speaker 1: you believe in the Second Amendment and the right to
Speaker 1: bear arms. Right above a picture of the box, which
Speaker 1: of course features a punish your skull with Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: wig atop it. It's Donald Trump has ever fired a
Speaker 1: gun in his life? I kind of doubt it. I
Speaker 1: think he would be frightened and confused. Like, yeah, that's like,
Speaker 1: that's like a picture of Louis Farrick, Louis Farrick Caannon
Speaker 1: and just being like, retweet if you think black people
Speaker 1: should be equal. Yeah, it's amazing. Um, the actual like
Speaker 1: tweet itself. Like in the link to the store, you
Speaker 1: can see, like the first few words available in the
Speaker 1: store's website are, if you want to ensure your Second
Speaker 1: Amendment rights remain intact, you're gonna need some ammunition, which
Speaker 1: is not at all a call for violence. Boy, Now,
Speaker 1: this was a clear violation of Twitter's terms of service,
Speaker 1: since you aren't allowed to sell firearms and ammo via
Speaker 1: the site. But more to the point, it seems to
Speaker 1: be a pretty fucking clear call on Bill's part towards
Speaker 1: violence against the president's enemies. That Republican Legion websites selling
Speaker 1: the Bullet States America is on the verge of another
Speaker 1: civil war and warns that conservatives are facing economic terrorism
Speaker 1: from the left. Now that website Republican Legion is registered
Speaker 1: to a guy named Richard Granville. Y'all, y'all know who
Speaker 1: Richard Granville is. Yes, he is the CEO of Yippie
Speaker 1: dot Com. He sure is. It's also Bill Mitchell's boss. Now.
Speaker 1: Um See, while that sweet deal working for Jared Kushner
Speaker 1: never quite worked out, Bill was hired by Granville's company, Yippie,
Speaker 1: which bills itself is essentially a conservative alternative to Google. Um,
Speaker 1: and this gig that Bill has now is evidence that
Speaker 1: Mitchell has fully embraced the tactic of shamelessly grifting his
Speaker 1: audience for as much cash as he can convince them
Speaker 1: to fork over those stupid Trump branded bullets, for instance,
Speaker 1: cost for fifty rounds of nine millimeter, which is two
Speaker 1: to three times as expensive as comparative like high end ammunition,
Speaker 1: and like five times as expensive as like just normal
Speaker 1: rounds of nine millimeter like I get him for like
Speaker 1: eight or nine bucks for a box of fifty for
Speaker 1: target rounds like ridiculously overpriced just ice cube. Leaning in, well,
Speaker 1: it appears this man just wanted to make America great again.
Speaker 1: Yeah so uh in selling Donald Trump bullets is actually
Speaker 1: one of the least grifty things Mitchell has gotten involved
Speaker 1: with over the last year. In May of two thousand nineteen,
Speaker 1: he started to go fund me, saying he wanted to
Speaker 1: move his online show to Washington, d C, so he
Speaker 1: could talk with movers and shakers of the conservative movement
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. This is his best thing he's
Speaker 1: ever done. I love this so much. It's it's kind
Speaker 1: of brilliant. The money was billed as covering moving costs
Speaker 1: and helping him set up a high end studio in
Speaker 1: d C. On May six, he tweeted, this, one great
Speaker 1: thing about living in d C will be that all
Speaker 1: my political friends from around the country all eventually go there,
Speaker 1: so I get to see everyone. Smiley face. Now, Bill
Speaker 1: came very close to his fifteen thousand dollar fundraising goal.
Speaker 1: He made fourteen thousand, two hundred and eighty dollars, and
Speaker 1: then rather than moving to d C, he moved to
Speaker 1: Miami instead. Fucking, king, king, king legend. That's an incredible grift. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: to be fair, those seven hundred extra dollars would have
Speaker 1: made the difference. M Yeah, everyone knows it takes fifteen
Speaker 1: grand exactly to move to Washington, d C. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: any anything less you you're trying to get to d C,
Speaker 1: but you somehow just end up in Florida. It's like
Speaker 1: the prices, It's like the price is right if you
Speaker 1: overshoot him back too, you know, yeah, yeah, overshoot you
Speaker 1: end up in New York, like yeah, yeah, So Bill
Speaker 1: winds up in Miami and many of Bill's friends other
Speaker 1: conservative pundits attacked him for this. The right wing internet
Speaker 1: descended on Bill Mitchell to accuse him of grifting his fans.
Speaker 1: For his part, Bill expressed no contrition. I think he
Speaker 1: never explicitly. He's totally shaved about this. Like again, he's
Speaker 1: he's as consistent about not giving a funk that he
Speaker 1: grifted his fans as he was about claiming Trump was
Speaker 1: going to win the election. So at least, like he
Speaker 1: goes whole hog on all this ship. And he's a
Speaker 1: fucking business guy. Like you think you think he could
Speaker 1: just not take the fifteen k, like it just destroys
Speaker 1: his reputation for fifteen k, Like you think he has
Speaker 1: a bit more disposable cometan he could just return that
Speaker 1: money and be like, sorry, guys, I'm going to Florida. Julian.
Speaker 1: He sat there in front of his computer watching that
Speaker 1: little green bar just freeze at, you know, just sweat,
Speaker 1: and he just watching watching ethereum crash. He's like, fuck me,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to keep these fifteen Huh. Miami's looking
Speaker 1: pretty good, boys. Yeah. Well, to be fair, he he
Speaker 1: fucking went to Washington, d C. To like try to
Speaker 1: find a home. He tried the coke and he was like,
Speaker 1: fuck this, boys, I'm going to Miami. Ye yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's actually really close to what Bill claims. So he
Speaker 1: claimed he never explicitly said on the go fund me
Speaker 1: that this was for a move to d C, even
Speaker 1: though he tweeted constantly about that being the reason for
Speaker 1: the go fund me, and so since she hadn't written
Speaker 1: that into the go fund me itself, it was fine
Speaker 1: for him to use the money for whatever the funk
Speaker 1: he wanted. When other conservatives dragged him on Twitter, he
Speaker 1: justified his decision by pointing out that Miami has better
Speaker 1: weather than d C. DC gets maybe four nice months
Speaker 1: a year, Miami gets ten, for sake. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: mem You're completely correct, yeah, you kind of have to
Speaker 1: love that. Um, I don't know that just like shameless
Speaker 1: level stealing from your fans. Yeah, just just total contempt
Speaker 1: for the people who support you. I mean, I mean they,
Speaker 1: I mean, like all the sort of like the grifters
Speaker 1: have it, but to this level where you just take
Speaker 1: money for one thing and just not do it all
Speaker 1: and just say fuck you and just walk away with
Speaker 1: the cash and you still like a public figure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a king. Absolutely, it's an an Actually, I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: It makes me happy to think of this, Like, I
Speaker 1: fucking love him for this. I think he's a positive
Speaker 1: force on the in the universe. More people on the
Speaker 1: right should take k to destroy their own reputation. Absolutely, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's it's It's just beautiful. Um. And I have no
Speaker 1: doubt that Bill spending it on a combination of nose
Speaker 1: candy and cryptocurrency is a better use for the money
Speaker 1: than I don't know, his fans buying more Trump branded
Speaker 1: bullets with it. If you unscrew the top of the bullet,
Speaker 1: there's a special holder for your cocaine. Are you suggesting, sir,
Speaker 1: that Bill Mitchell has gotten into brown round round round? Yeah? No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: If I apologize, I take it back. I kind of
Speaker 1: think he might be um Now. Bill also claimed that,
Speaker 1: for reasons he could not divulge, being based out of
Speaker 1: Miami would actually be better for his political journalism than
Speaker 1: being based in d C. He tweeted, this is a
Speaker 1: much better location for the show, based upon too many
Speaker 1: reasons to explain. Here, better studio, much better distribution, far
Speaker 1: far more reach, much more influenced. Wasn't even a close call.
Speaker 1: This is the MAGA spot. But yeah, he's sucking right,
Speaker 1: He's sucking right. Trump made maral Lago. It's more central
Speaker 1: to the fucking country than washing the DC White House. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you you can't say he's entirely off base in that,
Speaker 1: even though he is absolutely grifting his followers. Him and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein knew that this was a better place to
Speaker 1: own a mansion. Jeffstein um Now in another defensive tweet,
Speaker 1: They'll explained, during my work to relocate to d C
Speaker 1: several trips, I was made an offer which will position
Speaker 1: me to literally change the social media experience for everyone
Speaker 1: in the Trump family. That's exciting, isn't it. Yeah? You
Speaker 1: know what else is exciting? What God motherfucking pivots. This
Speaker 1: is how I griffed my audience. So if you want
Speaker 1: to buy some I don't know, Nancy Pelosi themed bullets,
Speaker 1: that might be the next ad, although almost certainly not
Speaker 1: daily cost just drops off bullets. It's just it's hard
Speaker 1: to make a good punisher skull out of her hairstyle. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's the marketing team's really had trouble. Um.
Speaker 1: Oddly enough, the Bernie Sanders m O sells incredibly well. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, there you go, so products we're back now. Uh.
Speaker 1: That offer, which Bill claimed was going to completely change
Speaker 1: the social media experience of the entire Trump family was
Speaker 1: his new job with Yippie, And so far the search
Speaker 1: engine has had zero discernible impact on the social media
Speaker 1: experience of the Trump family or the whier Internet. Uh.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's kind of hard to even figure out
Speaker 1: how to search with Yippi. Um, Like, it's not like
Speaker 1: using yandek. There's something where you just like type it
Speaker 1: in like it's it's it seems to be a pain
Speaker 1: in the ass. Um they're gonna look back on this
Speaker 1: era and be like Dan, it was crazy to watch
Speaker 1: the two the two, uh, the two big entities. The
Speaker 1: two titans, Yippie and Bing go head to head. Hippie
Speaker 1: is so small that even Bing gets to make fun
Speaker 1: of it. Um and and Bing is just three guys
Speaker 1: in a basement in Redmond crying most of the day.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah now um. Back in August, Bill Mitchell was
Speaker 1: briefly booked to be a speaker at the Digital Soldiers Conference,
Speaker 1: a one day Q and AN event that was supposed
Speaker 1: to be held in Atlanta this September. It was Bill
Speaker 1: I P R I P. It was billed as an
Speaker 1: event to help organize patriotic social media warriors for a
Speaker 1: digital civil war against censorship and suppression. Event was organized
Speaker 1: by Bill's boss, Richard Granville, who firmly denied the event
Speaker 1: was in any way tied to Q and ON, despite
Speaker 1: the fact that the logo for the event was literally
Speaker 1: an American flag with all of the stars shaped into
Speaker 1: a giant Grandville, we want our fucking thousand dollars back
Speaker 1: for our fucking plane tickets, asshole. Did you actually book
Speaker 1: plane tickets for that thing? No? Good, we did, we did,
Speaker 1: we did, solid Griffin. Wow, Well, I hear Atlanta's lovely
Speaker 1: in September Now, Grandville claimed that the three stars making
Speaker 1: up q's tail were actually a reference to Michael Flynn,
Speaker 1: a three star general, and had nothing to do with
Speaker 1: Q at on, which is solid lie man. The file
Speaker 1: name on that image was Q dash flag dot j peg. Amazing, amazing. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I've heard, I've heard the three stars stand for
Speaker 1: the Holy Trinity. Yeah, what are those again? Jake, the Father,
Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Ghost? Yeah you did, except
Speaker 1: isn't it Holy Spirit? Holy Ghost? Like a Catholic boy gratulation,
Speaker 1: Good job money, You're not Jewish anymore now. Thankfully that
Speaker 1: event was canceled, and as of late, Bill seems to
Speaker 1: be making a moderately concerted effort to slightly distance himself
Speaker 1: from the Q movement. This may have something to do
Speaker 1: with all of the mash shooting. Spawn by eight Chance,
Speaker 1: the website which also hosted the Q research board. On
Speaker 1: September eighteenth, Bill tweeted this, The media loves to say
Speaker 1: I'm this big que and on guy, I'm really not.
Speaker 1: I don't follow QUE post regularly and never have. I
Speaker 1: agree with their premise that we should trust the plan.
Speaker 1: Is it mirrors slow walker? Hashtag slow walker in many
Speaker 1: ways and the Q people, I actually know love Trump.
Speaker 1: That's it. But you literally cannot read a media article
Speaker 1: about me that doesn't begin Bill Mitchell major Q and
Speaker 1: on conspiracy theorist. It's comical because it's such bullshit. Q
Speaker 1: does Q I do me? Now? Have y'all ever heard
Speaker 1: of hashtag slow walker? Yes? Yes, I actually have not
Speaker 1: tell me about this. Slow Walker is essentially Bill Mitchell's
Speaker 1: bargain basement rip off of Q and on. Uh. It's
Speaker 1: it's him trying to make his own Q and ON.
Speaker 1: The basic idea is that Trump and Jeff Sessions were
Speaker 1: putting together a slow, deliberate plan to unravel the deep state,
Speaker 1: and originally Bill thought this was all going to come
Speaker 1: to fruition. During the mid terms, he came to have
Speaker 1: come up with this idea via quote the holmesy and
Speaker 1: method of deduction. I do believe he was smoking a
Speaker 1: pipe of some sort when he came up with this idea,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was tobacco. Now, when the
Speaker 1: mid terms came and went and Jeff Sessions left, you
Speaker 1: may have expected Bill to have pulled back from his
Speaker 1: pet conspiracy theory. If so, you don't know Bill Mitchell.
Speaker 1: He never pulls back from any theory, and early September
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen, he quote tweeted President Trump, absolutely nothing
Speaker 1: is more important than going back and getting to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the origins of the investigation. We had an
Speaker 1: administration using America's spying apparatus to spy on a political
Speaker 1: opponent at the height of a presidential election, so Mitchell says,
Speaker 1: to this, President Trump says, the Muller investigation was one
Speaker 1: of my great achievements. And then he says this, I mean,
Speaker 1: could he foreshadow the closing act of this hashtag slow
Speaker 1: walker play any harder? Buckle up, Democrats? It gets rough
Speaker 1: from here. Based upon this statement, I am now more
Speaker 1: convinced that hashtag slow walker and hashtag trust the Plan
Speaker 1: are a hundred percent real. Else why would Trump call
Speaker 1: the in Mueller investigation his greatest achievement? Yeah that's it. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jold Cola tastes really good as well as Coca cola. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. Uh, It's just amazing. Now. There really is
Speaker 1: so much more I could say about Bill Mitchell, but
Speaker 1: I feel like the right place to end this little
Speaker 1: rite up is by discussing what I think maybe his
Speaker 1: very worst take of all time, which is There's a
Speaker 1: lot of competition for that, but this one is just
Speaker 1: staggeringly good. Back in February of this year, on an
Speaker 1: episode of Your Voice America, Bill declared that racism was
Speaker 1: not a huge problem in America and said white privilege
Speaker 1: does not exist. Out He wasn't just saying that out
Speaker 1: of his ass. He had evidence for this statement, and
Speaker 1: his evidence was this deeply compelling anecdote about something he'd
Speaker 1: experienced that very weekend quote. I stopped by the grocery
Speaker 1: store and did some grocery shopping. I went around, did
Speaker 1: some various things, drove around in the car, so far
Speaker 1: and so forth, interacted with people. I saw Black Americans,
Speaker 1: I saw Hispanic Americans, I saw Asian Americans. And you
Speaker 1: know what I didn't see all day, not once, not
Speaker 1: one time, racism. I saw no racism. I saw no
Speaker 1: black people being asked to get in the back of
Speaker 1: the line. I saw no Hispanic people being denied service.
Speaker 1: I saw no racism anywhere. You know why, because racism
Speaker 1: is not a huge problem in America today, I'm sure
Speaker 1: some liberals heads are exploding, asking how could Bill Mitchell
Speaker 1: say that racism is not a huge problem in America?
Speaker 1: I'm saying it. Racism is not a huge problem in America.
Speaker 1: They talk about white privilege. I'm still waiting to be
Speaker 1: able to cash in on my white privilege. Where is it.
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten anything in life that I didn't work
Speaker 1: hard for when I go to check in the Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun, grand piece of ship, guys, Guys, I think
Speaker 1: this is a clear example of blues clusion deduction. I
Speaker 1: mean he did he tweeted two hundred and seventy times
Speaker 1: a day to get that fifteen grand Yeah. His fingers
Speaker 1: are just a pulp. Uh. And that is my write
Speaker 1: up of Bill Mitchell. Beautiful stuff. Wow, he is such
Speaker 1: a beautiful boy. Yeah, he's an incredible piece of shit.
Speaker 1: I mean, I what what stuns me most about is
Speaker 1: like he was trying to deny that he is a
Speaker 1: q and on guy. I mean he interviewed Praying Medic
Speaker 1: on his show. Yeah, you don't get more que and
Speaker 1: on than that, and he's basically come up with this
Speaker 1: like bullshit, like parallel theory that's exactly the same where
Speaker 1: he's like he's like que and on a little too obscure,
Speaker 1: and and then he comes up with kind of like
Speaker 1: a like an off brand Stephen King novel sort of
Speaker 1: title like slow Walker, Like it's just the unbelievable bullshit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's pretty it's pretty amazing. Um, I like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what else to say. Uh that that's
Speaker 1: all I've got on fucking Bill Mitchell. Um, you know
Speaker 1: I think that it's really it's Bill Mitchell is like
Speaker 1: you know, the the election of President Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: like it was like this. It was like the lamentation
Speaker 1: or the lament configuration was like solved and released all
Speaker 1: of these demons into the media world. And Bill Mitchell
Speaker 1: just one of those demons that are just still with us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we opened Pandora's box and Bill Mitchell bled out into
Speaker 1: the reality, and now we can't get rid of him
Speaker 1: until we build some sort of Ghostbusters like device back. Dude,
Speaker 1: I was literally I was literally about to make a
Speaker 1: reference of the roof of the firehouse blowing off after
Speaker 1: after Walter Peck shuts down. Then I was literally about
Speaker 1: I was waiting for everybody stopped talking to make a
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters reference. You were gonna make a references your favorite movie?
Speaker 1: We are spirits, my friend, we both thought about Ghostbusters
Speaker 1: at the same time. We both love Bill Mitchell and
Speaker 1: fucking James Comey is absolutely Walter Pett doubt in my mind,
Speaker 1: also not at doubt in my mind that he has
Speaker 1: no dick. This man has no dick. Oh boy, alright, guys,
Speaker 1: well that's the behind the bastard portion of this, this
Speaker 1: wonderful hybrid episode. Shall we move on to the Q
Speaker 1: and On Anonymous portion? Yes? Absolutely, that was incredible. Jake
Speaker 1: is about to take you down a notch. Oh boy,
Speaker 1: are we doing the story now? All right, let's do it. Jesus,
Speaker 1: Jesus God. All right, well, let's explain what this is
Speaker 1: for my listeners who may not have listened to Q
Speaker 1: and On Anonymous yet, but hopefully we'll be soon. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So Jake writes these radio plays. Now, I'm sure he
Speaker 1: would say that their masterpieces. They are in fact, just
Speaker 1: the mented product of a rotting mind. But they make
Speaker 1: us all giggle a lot. Yeah. I tend to usually
Speaker 1: write them, but like two or three in the morning,
Speaker 1: like Julian texted me yesterday and he was like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: do you think we could lay the story into the document,
Speaker 1: So so Robert can take a look at it before
Speaker 1: we kick off tomorrow. And I was like, oh, it
Speaker 1: won't be complete until three thirty four possibly am in
Speaker 1: the morning. And in your defense, I absolutely did not
Speaker 1: read it. Uh, it was good busy doing dangerous drugs
Speaker 1: last night. That's good. No, it's it's actually better for
Speaker 1: everybody if nobody knows what's coming in the story. It's
Speaker 1: been The only really advantage that I have is the
Speaker 1: element of surprise. Yeah. Yeah, I feel the same way
Speaker 1: about my episodes. I didn't. I wanted to drop that
Speaker 1: Bill Mitchell selling bullets. Oh my god, she was amazing. Well,
Speaker 1: what's great actually is is some of the very things
Speaker 1: you've touched on in your portion make an appearance in
Speaker 1: this story in one way or another. So, without further ado, Uh,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Yeah, what's the name of the story.
Speaker 1: The title of this story is called the Third Meme
Speaker 1: War Wish Jesus Christ, Jake Rapatanski, and Robert Evans. It's
Speaker 1: good job weight on that the food War. I say again, God, yeah,
Speaker 1: Robert is not responsible for this word. Yeah, Robert has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. I did not ask him
Speaker 1: if any of this was okay. He has he is
Speaker 1: free to delete it from any portion of his program.
Speaker 1: The groan of the heavy doors on the forty seven
Speaker 1: woke Evans up from a shallow slumber. Based on the
Speaker 1: flaming projectiles rocketing past the windows, he knew they were close.
Speaker 1: The hull of the aircraft shuttered as he watched the
Speaker 1: soldiers on board check and double check their gear. It
Speaker 1: was the third Meme war in about as many years,
Speaker 1: a war Evans would rather not have covered, but here
Speaker 1: he was watching Agent Postso and his ragtag group of
Speaker 1: wife and child strap pandola's with air paybies to their
Speaker 1: flat jack. Forgive me, forgive me, Robert, Robert, Hey Bill Mitchell.
Speaker 1: I'll be your your handler. Once we hit the beach,
Speaker 1: stick with me and you'll you'll, you'll taste that, the sweet,
Speaker 1: sweet smell of exercising your god given first Amendment freedom
Speaker 1: of speech. Mitchell leaned his head back and clucked towards
Speaker 1: the ceiling of the helicopter. Evan's heart sunk into the
Speaker 1: bottom of his chest. Should have stayed in fucking Iraq,
Speaker 1: Evans muttered under his breath. Mitchell busied himself trying to
Speaker 1: load a large spy gate infographic into a giant bazooka.
Speaker 1: He wasn't having much success. Evans led on an audible side.
Speaker 1: He should have never taken a gig. Everyone warned him
Speaker 1: not to, but somebody was paying big money to make
Speaker 1: a three and sixty degree documentary of the third memor.
Speaker 1: Evans had initially thought the job was a hoax, since
Speaker 1: memes are usually most effective in two D, but after
Speaker 1: the first check cleared, he didn't ask any questions. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you take the job, sometimes you take the paycheck. Plus,
Speaker 1: the Digital Soldiers were up against the seemingly unstoppable yet
Speaker 1: fascinating foe. They called them the Shadow Bands. The Shadow
Speaker 1: Bands had emerged from caverns deep within the earth around
Speaker 1: November of large amalgamust creatures set to transcend time and space.
Speaker 1: No one knew how many there were, or if they
Speaker 1: could be stopped at all. In three years, the best
Speaker 1: the Digital Soldiers could do was attempt to fire their
Speaker 1: memes past the creatures. With patients and good aim, they
Speaker 1: had a chance at hitting a normy and red peeling them.
Speaker 1: Evans looked down at this small recorder in his hand.
Speaker 1: He pressed the small circular button and watched the levels
Speaker 1: begin to jump across the small orange screen. He extended
Speaker 1: his arm in Mitchell's direction. So what is it you're
Speaker 1: hoping to accomplish here today? Evans asked, Ah, Well, you see,
Speaker 1: I got all these spygate posters, epic Times, that fantastic content.
Speaker 1: General Vander Steel needs these memes to go viral. Charlie
Speaker 1: Companies trying to get it trending on Twitter, and we'll
Speaker 1: be at the shores of Reddit in uh. He glanced
Speaker 1: at his wrist, although as far as Evans could tell,
Speaker 1: Mitchell wasn't wearing a watch. Eighteen hundred hours, Mitchell quipped, happily,
Speaker 1: he looked like a child who had been told that
Speaker 1: he could pick out He looked like a child who
Speaker 1: had been told he could pick out one toy toys
Speaker 1: r us melting crying, Evan's watched. He stuffed a handful
Speaker 1: of NPC memes into his pockets, just in case Mitchell shouted.
Speaker 1: A giant explosion rocked the helicopter. Evan shielded his eyes
Speaker 1: a blinding spout of light or through the damage. Shall
Speaker 1: soldiers shrieked if they were sucked out into the soft
Speaker 1: orange clouds. Evan scripts recorded tight eyes wide as he
Speaker 1: watched Agent posts. So abandoned his family and checked himself
Speaker 1: from the rear of theall We've got a drop now,
Speaker 1: Mitchell screamed, before snorting a giant rail of cocaine off
Speaker 1: the back of his hand. He clipped a large metal
Speaker 1: hook through a tether on Evan's utility belt, and then
Speaker 1: they were in the air. It was chaos. Smoldering projectile
Speaker 1: sit by them as they tumbled through the air. See
Speaker 1: it's a real war, Mitchell called out, as nearby soldiers,
Speaker 1: also in freefall, made high speed contact with debris and shrapnel.
Speaker 1: What screamed to perplex Evans was this motherfucker really trying
Speaker 1: to argue? Some point. As the pair hurtled towards a
Speaker 1: war zone on some god forsaken message board, Bill Mitchell
Speaker 1: was no longer paying attention to him. Instead, he held
Speaker 1: his phone out in the air, playing that Your Voice
Speaker 1: America theme song as loud as the volume would go.
Speaker 1: Evan's stomach heaved as the jolt from the parachute shook
Speaker 1: its way through his bones. He gripped the ropes tightly
Speaker 1: and watched the ground rush towards him an alarming speed.
Speaker 1: The impact wasn't as bad as he had feared. The
Speaker 1: shock from the descent made it hard to process anything really.
Speaker 1: All around him, soldiers were hurling themselves through sands, firing
Speaker 1: off golden papers. Automatic downvote fire ricocheted off the ground
Speaker 1: beneath him. A hand reached out and grabbed his shoulder
Speaker 1: and spun him around. It was Mitchell. He was screaming
Speaker 1: in Evans's face, but he couldn't hear a word. Mitchell's
Speaker 1: breath smelled like cocaine goldfish crackers for really. His ears
Speaker 1: began to adjust and the sounds of the battlefield came
Speaker 1: into focus. Do you want some cocaine? Mitchell yelled, but
Speaker 1: before Evans could answer, the sand beneath their feet began
Speaker 1: to quake. Waterfalls of sand poured into the ground under them,
Speaker 1: and a giant, shimmery creature on six legs scuttled to
Speaker 1: its feet, towering over the two men. Evans froze shut open.
Speaker 1: Mitchell yelled. A couple of soldiers nearby concentrated poorly written
Speaker 1: complaints towards the monster. When a handful of them made contact,
Speaker 1: Evan watched this. Their petty strong man arguments were absorbed
Speaker 1: directly into the monster's galactic looking skin. Mitchell ran right
Speaker 1: towards the creature. This is very unfair. The creature immediately
Speaker 1: shredded Mitchell in too a thousand pieces. Evans stared at
Speaker 1: the back. Evans stared at the blood soaked sand where
Speaker 1: Mitchell was standing just a moment ago, as the monster
Speaker 1: approached him, tentacles rippling, then blackness. The groan of the
Speaker 1: heavy doors on the forty seven woke Evan's up from
Speaker 1: michelle slumber. This time, he shot up and clutched his chest,
Speaker 1: fighting for quick, shallow rez. The hull of the aircraft
Speaker 1: shuttered as he watched the soldiers on board check and
Speaker 1: double checked their gear. You're okay, familiar voice piped out.
Speaker 1: It was Mitchell again, struggling with the oversized spike. Infographic
Speaker 1: agent Posto and his ragtag group of wife and child
Speaker 1: again strapped Bandola's with rare paypaste in their flat jackets.
Speaker 1: Evans couldn't believe it. We're staring at the surprisingly handsome
Speaker 1: man with thick, silvery hair, who moments ago had just
Speaker 1: been turned to pulp right before his eyes. Evans looked
Speaker 1: down at the small recorder in his hand. He pressed
Speaker 1: the circular button and watched the levels begin to jump
Speaker 1: on the orange screen. He extended his arm in Mitchell's
Speaker 1: direction again, his hand shaking a little. So, Bill, are
Speaker 1: you afraid of dying today? Evans asked, Bill, stop fiddling
Speaker 1: with the memes. He thought, long and hard. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you someone, Look, here's the deal. At one point
Speaker 1: in my life, yes, I might have feared debt, But Son,
Speaker 1: believe me what I tell you that that went away
Speaker 1: the day that Donald J. Trump might bread that it
Speaker 1: was elected into office. He is an extra celestial angel
Speaker 1: who will ride down on a cloud of matter and
Speaker 1: and carry my wounded soul directly into the arms of
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ himself, and I will sing with the angels
Speaker 1: and kings from now until he turnity. A giant explosion
Speaker 1: rocked the helicopter. Evan shielded his eyes again as a
Speaker 1: blinding spout of light poured in through the damaged hull.
Speaker 1: Soldiers shrieked as they were sucked out in the soft
Speaker 1: orange clouds. Evanscript is recorded tight eyes wide, has watched
Speaker 1: agent posts, so once again abandoned his family and eject
Speaker 1: himself from the rear of the helicopter. It was all
Speaker 1: the same as before the free fall the parachute the
Speaker 1: battlefield like a bad case at Desia. Who again the
Speaker 1: shadow Band emerged from the blood soaked sands. Evans watched
Speaker 1: his Mitchell once again attempted to argue with the creature.
Speaker 1: Kevan snapped too, No, no, it kills you, he shouted
Speaker 1: towards Mitchell. Instinctively, Evan sprang to his feet and hooked
Speaker 1: a hand under one of Mitchell's elbows, dragging him away
Speaker 1: from the creature, who had turned its focus on other
Speaker 1: nearby soldiers trying to drop moebs into our politics. Evans
Speaker 1: and Mitchell duck behind the wreckage of falling craft. Much
Speaker 1: of the hull was still intact and made for some
Speaker 1: good cover. Mitchell seemed perturbed, What are you doing? I
Speaker 1: was fully ready to sacrifice myself to the shadow Band
Speaker 1: so that other conservative minded figures would be able to
Speaker 1: post these very educational epic Times infographics were even links
Speaker 1: to some of our most popular y v A episodes.
Speaker 1: Evans stuck into his pocket and produced a crumpled pack
Speaker 1: of cigarettes. He pinched one in between his teeth and
Speaker 1: pulled it out of the package. Unable to find his lighter,
Speaker 1: Evans held a cigarette next to a smoldering piece of
Speaker 1: melting steel and puffed until the cherry glowed read. He
Speaker 1: exhaled deeply and glanced increduously at Mitchell. So what's the
Speaker 1: deal with that? The whole falloon gong thing, Mitchell smiled wide.
Speaker 1: Fallon God is the deal. It's the deal for everything.
Speaker 1: Just then, a group of Normies ran past the wreckage,
Speaker 1: not noticing Mitchell. He sprang to his feet. Wait wait,
Speaker 1: he shouted. The three turned around, not sure what to
Speaker 1: make of this middle aged limo driver looking guy aiming
Speaker 1: a large Mazuka directly at them. The original contents streaked
Speaker 1: through the air and deployed a couple of inches from
Speaker 1: the Normies, reflecting a soft blue glow off their stunned faces.
Speaker 1: But the hell is this ship? Yeah, of course our
Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies are corrupt, But the fact that these
Speaker 1: people think Trump's the solution fucking blows my mind. This
Speaker 1: is a very informative graphic. The three wandered away, heading
Speaker 1: towards various sub credits. What out of three eight bad?
Speaker 1: Mitchell shouted as he shimmied his shoulders and going. In particular,
Speaker 1: his nervous energy was giving Evans the fear. Come on,
Speaker 1: Mitchell yelled, We're not too far from the rally point camp.
Speaker 1: Donald will regroup there, Evans gathered himself slowly death by
Speaker 1: shadow bands. Seemed preferable to spending any amount of time
Speaker 1: in the Donald, but with nowhere else to go, he
Speaker 1: began to reluctantly follow Bill off the beach. Come on, slow, both,
Speaker 1: I'm four times your age and I'm moving way faster
Speaker 1: than you. Bill smirked. Evans blinked in a similar manner
Speaker 1: to a popular meme, what are you like A hundred yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Mitchell kiggled his face resembling a plastic jackal lantern. Evans
Speaker 1: rolled his eyes. Well, you're on a lot of cocaine,
Speaker 1: Mitchell's lit off. That reminds me, he squawked. He reached
Speaker 1: into one of the vest pockets and produced a rather
Speaker 1: large baggy of cocaine. Come on, man, lamented Evans, but
Speaker 1: it was no use, Mitchell lendo. Mitchell, Oh god, dude,
Speaker 1: his face exploded. He's gonna cry that, I wrote. He's
Speaker 1: gonna cry again Mitchell. Mitchell leaned over and picked up
Speaker 1: a large seashell and used it to scoop a healthy
Speaker 1: portion of cocaine out of the bag. He then lifted
Speaker 1: the shell to his nose and inhaled deeply. At first
Speaker 1: a look of pure ecstasy rushed across his face, but
Speaker 1: it quickly turned to horror. Mitchell Clutch, Just Mitchell Clutch,
Speaker 1: just Jez too much cocaine. He collapsed face first into
Speaker 1: the sand, dead. Before Evans could even process what he
Speaker 1: had witnessed, let alone comprehend that he'd also recorded it,
Speaker 1: all of it in three hundred and sixty degrees. A
Speaker 1: small platoon was on him. Hey, this guy killed Captain
Speaker 1: Bill Hey. Hands where I can see him? Evans calmly
Speaker 1: tried to explain to the frightened soldiers what had happened. Look,
Speaker 1: I I didn't touch him at all. He overdosed on drugs.
Speaker 1: Check his pockets. But the guys weren't even listening. They
Speaker 1: had their rifles raised, their trigger, fingers shaking. Come on, Chad,
Speaker 1: let's ducks this fool many killed Bill Fine, let's waste
Speaker 1: them blocking. The gunshots seemed to echo off into eternity,
Speaker 1: then blackness. The groan of the heavy doors on the
Speaker 1: c H forty seven woke even stopped from a shallow slumber.
Speaker 1: The hull of the aircraft shuttered as he watched the
Speaker 1: soldiers off board check and double check their gear. You okay.
Speaker 1: Familiar voice piped up. It was Mitchell again, struggling with
Speaker 1: the oversized spy Gate infographic. Evan's mind raced, his eyes
Speaker 1: darted around the hull of the forty seven Again. He
Speaker 1: watched his agent posts so asked his wife to take
Speaker 1: a picture of him holding a gun. Before Evans realized it,
Speaker 1: he was shouting above the roar of the churning rotors.
Speaker 1: We got aboard, We're about to get ahead. Mitchell and
Speaker 1: Posto looked at him like he was crazy. Evans decided
Speaker 1: to go for broke. Look, I'm living to stay over
Speaker 1: and over again. At first I thought maybe it was
Speaker 1: a dream or some ship, but it's not. It's exactly
Speaker 1: like Groundhog Day, Holiday, asked Bill Mitchell. Evans looked exasperated. No,
Speaker 1: the Bill Murray movie. Have you not seen it? All
Speaker 1: three shook their heads. No, Evans real What about Edge
Speaker 1: of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise? Have you seen that? All
Speaker 1: three nodded excitedly, muttering praises of the film and cruises
Speaker 1: natural knack for comedy. Boom, A giant explosion rocked the helicopter.
Speaker 1: Evans shielded his eyes. His blinding spout of light poured
Speaker 1: in through the damaged hull. Soldiers shrieked as they were
Speaker 1: stoped out in the clouds. Evan scripted his recorder tight
Speaker 1: as he watched Agent Posto abandoned his family the third
Speaker 1: time and eject himself from the rear of the helicopter.
Speaker 1: Everything was the same, but different. This time. Evans moved
Speaker 1: with ease, With one hand on the camera and one
Speaker 1: planet firmly on Mitchell's shoulder. He guided them past the
Speaker 1: roving shadow bands and armies of thoughts armed to the
Speaker 1: teeth with Russian propaganda. It was the perfect take. After
Speaker 1: some time, Mitchell and Evans arrived at Camp Underscore. Donald
Speaker 1: Evans immediately noticed the three young soldiers who had murdered
Speaker 1: him just moments ago. They were quietly stacking boxes of
Speaker 1: ammunition with Sunday Gunday pictures and build a Wall memes.
Speaker 1: Mitchell was yammering on excitedly. So you see the fallon
Speaker 1: Gung religion. The human soul can actually and I know
Speaker 1: this sound unbelievable, but I've seen it. It could travel
Speaker 1: back in time and inhabit the consciousness of its past self.
Speaker 1: But short of a cosmic loophole, if you will Kevans
Speaker 1: slumped down next to a pile of coats and bricks
Speaker 1: and lit up a cigarette. Mitchell sat down next to you.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's maybe that's what's happening to you. The same
Speaker 1: thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Except
Speaker 1: for me, I had to relive a torid love affair
Speaker 1: with and and vander Steel for through three whole days
Speaker 1: in a hotel room. Evan's unscrewed his camera from its mount.
Speaker 1: He reached in his bag and pulled out a dusty laptop.
Speaker 1: He began to scrub through. The footage came out perfect,
Speaker 1: spicy memes streaking across the chaotic beach as digital soldiers
Speaker 1: were picked off in the dozens by large shape shifting
Speaker 1: creatures rat All of a sudden, a voice shouted, throwing
Speaker 1: the entire camp in a panic strike. Everyone ran for cover,
Speaker 1: ducking into large tub skilled with videos of Joe Biden
Speaker 1: touching young girls, climate change denial flags, and large wooden
Speaker 1: crates bursting with vaguely anti semitic grounds. From behind a tent,
Speaker 1: Evans watched as a large bomber flown by Seth Abramson
Speaker 1: rained down a four hundred and thirty seventh thread tweet storm.
Speaker 1: The digital soldiers watched in horror. As the norm He's
Speaker 1: wrapped their arms around the tweets and proudly showed them
Speaker 1: to their friends. In the distance, the shadow bands were
Speaker 1: spinning rapidly toward the camp that Donald had become overrun.
Speaker 1: The last thing Evans saw was Bill Mitchell holding his
Speaker 1: phone to his ear, trying to listen to Your Voice
Speaker 1: America theme song one last time. However, the signal wasn't great,
Speaker 1: and it appeared that Mitchell's fine off leisure would be
Speaker 1: plagued by buffering issues. Blackness, the growing of the computer
Speaker 1: fans woke Evan's up from his deep slumber. He glanced
Speaker 1: around his apartment. His eyes landed on the digital clock
Speaker 1: displayed near the bottom of his laptop screen. Three am. Ship.
Speaker 1: It was way too late. He had record some weird
Speaker 1: Q and on podcasts at eleven am. That was only
Speaker 1: six hours from now. He glanced down at the key
Speaker 1: word he had dozed off with his hand pressed firmly
Speaker 1: on the mouse pad on the screen. Www dot Reddit
Speaker 1: dot com was refreshing over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: The end just you've outdone yourself. It's beautiful. I say again, God, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what a TRAVISI what a Travis underscore views? What the
Speaker 1: Travis under score views. I do always like hearing the
Speaker 1: phrase spicy means, especially when I've turned them into some
Speaker 1: sort of ammunition is to be. And Evans was definitely
Speaker 1: the one who you know, fell asleep at his keyboard
Speaker 1: last night at three am trying to trying to write
Speaker 1: something for today's podcast. There's always looked, there's always a
Speaker 1: little bit of truth and everything that I write. You know, Robert,
Speaker 1: you are the first non qa A host to play somebody,
Speaker 1: let alone yourself in one of Jake's stories. How does
Speaker 1: it feel? Uh, it feels like being Tom cruise Um,
Speaker 1: which feels vaguely like living inside of a carburetor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's how I would describe it. Yeah, Well, we
Speaker 1: look forward to your appearance on Oprah where you you know,
Speaker 1: jump to your feet on a couch and try to
Speaker 1: explain foulon gong to the audience. I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: that too. Actually, Travis, you have some serious questions that
Speaker 1: you wanted to uh, you know, your head with your
Speaker 1: friend Robert. Yeah, I want to ask about how you
Speaker 1: covered the the Portland, Oregon protests and counter protests last
Speaker 1: month on August seventeen, what was the qul On presence.
Speaker 1: They're like, you know, this was the first one of
Speaker 1: whom I actually saw some I think because it was
Speaker 1: a larger demonstration. But there were a number of people
Speaker 1: with Q and on shirts and several Q and on
Speaker 1: uh signs. There was a guy with a Q and
Speaker 1: on patch on his body armor. Um. Yeah, Yeah, there
Speaker 1: was definitely a lot of people trusting the plan there
Speaker 1: that day. You think there's any cross poll nation between
Speaker 1: q and On and other sort of broad sort of
Speaker 1: like a far right kind of organizations or movements, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it kind of depends. I think that the the the
Speaker 1: actual like neo Nazi and fascist far right tends to
Speaker 1: view the Q and honors is goofy, kind of like
Speaker 1: cannon fodder. Um, Like they're they're they're just they're they're
Speaker 1: not thought of highly Yeah, but there's also this kind
Speaker 1: of understanding that they're kind of useful idiots, and some
Speaker 1: of them can be uh, I don't know the term
Speaker 1: they use as usually like jew pilled or something like that,
Speaker 1: convinced that this deep state is really just the collective
Speaker 1: Jewish race. Um. So there's that sort of attitude. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's also this like, yeah, it's generally pretty dismissive. And
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot more CUE believers among like
Speaker 1: the the Proud Boy Patriot Prayer set, because they're sort
Speaker 1: of less uh less into the Nazi ship. Um. But again,
Speaker 1: and like they're all kind of useful idiots to the Nazis.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a it's a a constellation of
Speaker 1: of idiots who mostly act as like ablative armor for
Speaker 1: the hardcore of actual fascists. Yeah, beautiful. I love that,
Speaker 1: and it does it does really fit with the idea
Speaker 1: that Q and on is a grift and a belief
Speaker 1: system with very little intent. But they are basically Nazis
Speaker 1: without even knowing it. Yeah, I don't think. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of them don't even come into it from
Speaker 1: like a bad place. They just Um, I can't get
Speaker 1: into the head of someone who gets drawn into it.
Speaker 1: But it's like a cult, you know. Once you once
Speaker 1: you get pulled into that, like it becomes your entire
Speaker 1: media ecosystem, and eventually your family stops talking to you, um,
Speaker 1: and then you kind of have nothing else but this stuff.
Speaker 1: And so like there's a mix in the Q community
Speaker 1: of like people I would describe as like cultists who
Speaker 1: had a lot of sympathy for because they're clearly have
Speaker 1: been pulled into something bad that's ruining their lives. And
Speaker 1: then there's the grifters who are profiting off of them.
Speaker 1: And then sort behind the grifters are the people who
Speaker 1: I think recognize this movement as an opportunity to further
Speaker 1: they're much more radical goals. Um, So yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's a complicated melange of gross bullshit. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good way of putting it. Um. I also want to
Speaker 1: ask about um, your your your podcast, Uh it could
Speaker 1: Happen here, which is excellent and if you, if any
Speaker 1: listener hasn't heard it yet, you should go check it out.
Speaker 1: And it's about the possibility of a second American Civil War.
Speaker 1: And although although that podcast mostly focuses on rural rural
Speaker 1: Americans and the militia movement, do you think that Q
Speaker 1: and on might have a role in sparking like a
Speaker 1: serious domestic conflict. Yeah, I think, like any cult, um,
Speaker 1: and I do consider it a cult. Like, there's a
Speaker 1: significant chance for much more violence than we've seen. There's
Speaker 1: already been a couple of cases that you could sort
Speaker 1: of call an insurgent attack. You know, the guy parking
Speaker 1: is fucking armored truck on the hoover Damn. That could
Speaker 1: have very easily been a much more serious incident. Um.
Speaker 1: Like That's there's a lot of people who like I'll
Speaker 1: say this, one of the positive things about the que
Speaker 1: and On as a cult is that it's not as
Speaker 1: inherently nihilistic as like what the guys on eight Chance
Speaker 1: pull Board believe. That's sort of like like like exterminationist
Speaker 1: fascist ideology. Like there's obviously little strains of that through
Speaker 1: corners of the community, but mostly these people they don't
Speaker 1: want the world to end. Um. They just believe in
Speaker 1: this sort of like magical period of American renewal that
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to bring on. UM. So I
Speaker 1: think at this point you're less likely to see outright
Speaker 1: violent attacks on them. Most of the attacks are going
Speaker 1: to be based on people trying to like fulfill some
Speaker 1: aspect of the conspiracy or like do something like that
Speaker 1: guy who shot the mob boss, thinking that it would
Speaker 1: like that guy was like what he was basically like
Speaker 1: thought he was tried before the citizens arrest of it
Speaker 1: it turned bad, wound up shooting and killing him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a exactly the kind of attack we're going to
Speaker 1: see now. I what worries me is that, you know,
Speaker 1: there's a decent chunk of these people that believe way
Speaker 1: too hard to give up um when you know, at
Speaker 1: some point, presumably Donald Trump will stop being president. He'll
Speaker 1: either lose the election or there will be another election
Speaker 1: and he won't win. And you know, obviously if Trump
Speaker 1: makes some sort of like dictator play to stay in power,
Speaker 1: these people would back him. Um. But I think the
Speaker 1: more likely and worrying thing is that if Trump loses
Speaker 1: the election um and decides to step down, you've got
Speaker 1: this sizeable group of people who aren't going to understand
Speaker 1: what's happening um, and who then might actually be pushed
Speaker 1: into because like then their lives will still be fucked
Speaker 1: like this this beautiful, Like there's a bunch of them.
Speaker 1: We think they're going to get hired by the CIA
Speaker 1: or whatever, like when Trump reveals that the plan has
Speaker 1: been real all along. Wait wait, wait, wait, Robert, because
Speaker 1: I spoke to Joe M and D M S. And
Speaker 1: he says, the c I A M. The FBI will
Speaker 1: be dissolved, but that the n s A is working
Speaker 1: with the Q and on people, so they're very select
Speaker 1: and uh CIA is clowns in America, they're the bad guy.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, whatever, like whatever happens, it won't be these guys,
Speaker 1: like their lives won't change for the better. And I
Speaker 1: think there will never be this moment where like everything
Speaker 1: gets fixed for them, which is what a lot of
Speaker 1: them are hoping for. It's like this messianic kind of movement.
Speaker 1: And when that collapses, assuming it collapses fully, UM, then
Speaker 1: I think some of them might start, might be moved
Speaker 1: to violence. That's what I'm really worried about for for Q,
Speaker 1: and I definitely think, you know, they would be part
Speaker 1: of any sort of insurgent movement if Donald Trump got
Speaker 1: unseated in the next election and it was like a
Speaker 1: contested sort of thing. Um Like, I could very easily
Speaker 1: see a lot of these people, like they all have guns,
Speaker 1: like picking up weapons and becoming part of like a
Speaker 1: movement like that. UM. Now, thankfully a lot of them
Speaker 1: are boomers, and I don't think would make particularly potent infantry,
Speaker 1: but I think those would become like informants. They would
Speaker 1: be like telling on the neighbor that's hiding the illegal
Speaker 1: aliens and that, Yeah, they definitely would or you know,
Speaker 1: you you also have like a sizeable chunk of people
Speaker 1: who might carry out attacks or something if they really
Speaker 1: started to feel like that was the only way to
Speaker 1: to save things. And I think it would probably be
Speaker 1: pretty targeted towards like democratic lawmakers or news you know, journalists,
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Like, Yeah, I very much worry about
Speaker 1: what could happen in this movement. It's really like a
Speaker 1: tiger by the tail. Uh. And obviously the Trump administration
Speaker 1: hasn't even addressed any of this happening because they want
Speaker 1: these votes. They also know that it would be toxic
Speaker 1: to like their sane, rational voters to like even address
Speaker 1: Q and On, so they're they're never going to disavow them.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I just don't know where all this can
Speaker 1: end without something terrifying happening. It's very it's very dangerous. Um,
Speaker 1: I'll say that it's really dangerous. And I think like
Speaker 1: the number of people who are true believers in Q
Speaker 1: and On is way larger than anybody wants to give
Speaker 1: credit for at this point. Yeah, that's really my my
Speaker 1: you really talk about really my nightmare scenario. There's uh,
Speaker 1: the psychiatrist um Robert J. Lifton in his book UM
Speaker 1: destroying the world to save it. It's all about am Sharikio.
Speaker 1: He has this concept called forcing the end, where where
Speaker 1: basically this sort of cultish apocalyptic movement they get to
Speaker 1: a point where they're impatient about their prophecies being fulfilled
Speaker 1: and so they take action to make it happen. And
Speaker 1: so really my nightmare scenario is the Q and community
Speaker 1: they get to that in patient point where they stop
Speaker 1: trusting the plan, stop trusting that the white hats will
Speaker 1: take care of everything for them, and they'll force at
Speaker 1: the end that they envision will happen. Right, They'll think
Speaker 1: that the deep state is one and that and that
Speaker 1: you know Q is actually the entire time been preparing
Speaker 1: them to take up arms and and actually you know,
Speaker 1: do battle on the streets of you know, their suburb
Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, and that's that. Like I think um
Speaker 1: Shinriko is a really good comparison to make Q and on.
Speaker 1: It's like um Shinriko was this Japanese cult that was
Speaker 1: made up of like a lot of scientists and like
Speaker 1: like literal geniuses and stuff who like believed that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they kind of basically believed that, like the world needed
Speaker 1: to be destroyed in order to bring on like sort
Speaker 1: of a utopian vision, and they carried out a saren
Speaker 1: gas attack among other things in the Tokyo subway. Um
Speaker 1: And I think Q and on has a lot of
Speaker 1: similarities to oum shinriko UM. But I guess one of
Speaker 1: the saving graces is there's not a lot of genius
Speaker 1: of physicists and chemists uh and engineers who are who
Speaker 1: are well, probably a lot of engineers actually, um, Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably a lot of people who could build fertilizer bombs,
Speaker 1: but not a lot of people who could synthesize sarin gas. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I guess we've got that going for us. Yes,
Speaker 1: I also want to talk about your writings about um
Speaker 1: about eight chan. You've written some of the most thoughtful
Speaker 1: work I think about eight chan for a belling cat.
Speaker 1: Now that eight chan is down, where do you think
Speaker 1: sort of like these on like these isolated neo Nazis
Speaker 1: are going to do. Are they just gonna congregate another
Speaker 1: place or have they just been sort of just mostly
Speaker 1: neutered since since eight chan is offline, I think UM
Speaker 1: a significant chunk of them are going to move on
Speaker 1: to other things. One thing we know about sort of
Speaker 1: fringe sites like eight chann is when they get shut down,
Speaker 1: it does seem to have like a long term impact
Speaker 1: on UM the total membership. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: who are kind of more casual and who might have
Speaker 1: gotten pulled into like the more extreme parts of of
Speaker 1: the kind of ideology there, who I think might just
Speaker 1: find something else to do and maybe never get further radicalized.
Speaker 1: So I do think it's good that it stays down.
Speaker 1: That said, most of those people, or at least a
Speaker 1: very sizeable chunk of them, like, aren't just not Nazis anymore.
Speaker 1: They're just going and that we've seen a d asp
Speaker 1: of sites like endo chan um, and we've seen some
Speaker 1: of them filtering under Reddit and onto four chan um.
Speaker 1: Some of them have made like fake mass shooting threats,
Speaker 1: and I suspect we will continue to see that, And
Speaker 1: I like it's it's not over by any means, Like
Speaker 1: they've been neo Nazis on the Internet have been trying
Speaker 1: to recruit people and like sort of convert large digital
Speaker 1: communities to their beliefs for a long time now. UM
Speaker 1: and I don't think they're going to stop just because
Speaker 1: one of their more radical hubs got shut down. When
Speaker 1: we covered Turning Point USA, we noticed that some neo
Speaker 1: Nazi organizations like Identity Europa which is now rebranded as
Speaker 1: the American Identity Movement, they they were talking about infiltrating
Speaker 1: Republican student organizations to better see their ideas and recruit people.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that, Well, this is again,
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a while. You know,
Speaker 1: if you look back to UM, there's you've you've got
Speaker 1: two kind of strains of the white nationalist movement. There's
Speaker 1: the Van Guardis and there's the main streamers UM and
Speaker 1: the the the main streamers who are kind of like
Speaker 1: one of their early leading dudes was a guy named
Speaker 1: Willis Karto Um who formed a group called the Liberty
Speaker 1: Lobby and who uh like basically started off like this
Speaker 1: neo Nazi group, the National Alliance, which like distributed the
Speaker 1: Turner diaries and was like a big part of like seating.
Speaker 1: This most recent surge of Nazis got its start actually
Speaker 1: as a youth group for Republican presidential candidate UM, and
Speaker 1: it was then just overtime converted into this more extremist force. Um.
Speaker 1: And so like there's been a lot of like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, even going back to the days of George
Speaker 1: Lincoln Rockwell, a lot of like a very clear, concerted
Speaker 1: effort to try and like convert normal conservatives to more
Speaker 1: explicitly fascistic views. They definitely see that as like where
Speaker 1: they can pull people from. Um. So what aim h
Speaker 1: slash Identity Europa is trying to do with turning point
Speaker 1: USA like is nothing new. UM. I do think that
Speaker 1: they've gotten better at it over time, in large part
Speaker 1: by sort of like hiding their power level, as they
Speaker 1: say it, which is why I think the work of
Speaker 1: you know, media collectives like Unicorn Riot, of like leaking
Speaker 1: these groups internal chats and showing how they talk among
Speaker 1: themselves now open they are about the Nazism when they're
Speaker 1: not out in public. I think that's very important because
Speaker 1: it kind of makes it impossible if you do your research,
Speaker 1: to believe the lies that these groups say. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: the problem is that like none of the mainstream media
Speaker 1: ever focused that much on any of this stuff, uh,
Speaker 1: and so they can assistently get it all wrong. Um.
Speaker 1: But that's why a lot of us keep talking to
Speaker 1: them about like the nature of this kind of undercover
Speaker 1: effort to uh red pill enormies. This me more if
Speaker 1: you will. That's right? Um, okay, cool, that's really really
Speaker 1: interesting stuff. Well, um, thanks so much for coming on
