Hey guys, this is Oswin Suvseng but please call me Swin and welcome to the Daily Beast Fever Dreams.

Hi, I'm Will Summer, a politics reporter at the Daily Beast where I dig into all the darkest recesses of American extremism and extremely online militants.

I'm currently working on a book about QAnon and its disastrous impact on our society.

I'm also a senior political reporter at the Beast and co-author of the book, Sinking in the Swamp.

I've spent years covering the intersection of entertainment and politics and in the post-Trump era that seems like the only sensible way to cover politics in this beautiful, hideously stupid country of ours.

On this podcast, we're going to take you on deeply reported 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, the grifters, and the influencers is still pushing our mainstream political landscape closer and closer to a breaking point.

We're here to help you better understand how and why this is happening and who in the halls of power are letting it happen.

Along the way, we'll regularly bring on guests, including political pros, hard-nosed reporters, and some influential voices from Hollywood.

Well, we got to talk about Greg Kelly and his pants. For listeners who want completely initiated into this, Greg Kelly is a Newsmax host.

Newsmax, obviously, being a very, very Trump-y right-wing media and cable news network, who's not just one of the most pro-Trump people in conservative media, but also almost painstakingly tries to emulate.

The former president in every way possible, whether it's in his hands.

Yeah, it's kind of a single white female situation.

Right, right.

Like Trump needs to watch his back. He says, like, Greg Kelly is going to come in with the tan and everything one day.

Funny, like, don't get me wrong. I get a lot of like sick amusement out of it, particularly in his tweets, even in his manorisms when he's on a TV broadcast on Newsmax TV.

He's kind of moving his lips and his hands as if he's some version or pantomime of Donald J. Trump. But anyway, getting on that topic, one of his recent tweets, well, do you want to read this?

I'm not sure I could get through reading it with a straight face.
