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.

Thank you. Hi, welcome to Fever Dreams. My name's Will Summer. I'm a political reporter at the Daily Beast and the author of an upcoming book on QAnon for Harper Collins. And I'm Aswin Tsugent, but please call me Swin. I'm a senior political reporter at the Daily Beast and co-author of the book Sinking in the Swamp. All right, here on Fever Dreams, we're going to take you on

plunges into the sometimes hilarious and sometimes scary world of the American right as they

continue to influence our politics. Even in the aftermath of the Trump administration, the

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

our mainstream political landscape closer and closer to a breaking point. Will, before we get

into the nitty-gritty of the far right in America, I got to ask you an important question. Are you

ready for it? Yeah, I'm strapped in. Okay. What do you think of the premiere episode of Wolf Gossip

Girl? I thought it was pretty good, actually.

I thought, you know, I was intrigued by some of our characters.

I like the conceit that the teachers are Gossip Girl now, and I was decently into the old

gossip girl.

I don't know about you.

I was a little freaked out.

I felt like some of the actors look almost like too similar. It looks like they're doing the Irishman de-aging technology on like Chuck Bass

and Dan Humphrey. Yeah, what did you think of it? Okay, well, first of all, I must confess.
