Imagine sweeping through green fields, floating five feet above ground,

sun on your face as you slide by, on track to your destination.

Not a care in the world as you simply lean back.

And before you know it, you're there.

This is how travel should feel.

And on our trains, it does.

Avanti West Coast, feel good travel.

Hi, I'm Will Summer.

Welcome to The Daily Beast's fever dreams.

I'm a politics reporter at The Daily Beast,

and I'm currently working on a book about Q&ON called Trust the Plan for Harper Collins coming out later this year. And I'm Kelly Weil. I am also a reporter at The Daily Beast, and I'm the author

of the book Off the Edge, Flat Earthers, Conspiracy Culture, and Why People Will Believe Anything.

On this podcast, we're going to take you on plunges into the

sometimes hilarious, sometimes scary fanatics, infecting the way that millions of Americans

view the world and how they vote. Even in the aftermath of the Trump administration,

the energy of these conspiracy theorists, grifters, and influencers is still pushing our

mainstream political landscape closer and closer to a breaking point.

Welcome back to Fever Dreams. We're joined once again this week by Daily Beast editor Andrew

Karell. Andrew, welcome back. What's good. All right, man. Another guest host episode for you. Are

you really ready to bring the heat? Yeah.

All right, all right.

I feel like you're kind of carving out a niche here with these introses.
