0:00.0 | Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. Fox News. You do not know. Under any circumstances, |
0:07.8 | got a hand at you. Fox News. They are the most washed cable news network in the United States of America, |
0:14.4 | and to put it mildly, propagandists of the highest order, giving airtime to a murderer's row of |
0:19.2 | grifters, war criminals, and empty-headed pundits. Systematically and very effectively siding with |
0:24.5 | a Republican party no matter how ugly things get, Fox News flirted briefly with their own version |
0:29.3 | of the high road before caving and giving their biggest morning show fan, Donald J. Trump, |
0:33.8 | a free ride no matter what he says does or turns a blind eye to. Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself. |
0:39.1 | This episode will explore the QAnon relationship to Fox News, then dive into its actual history, |
0:44.2 | and finally, we have our first repeat guest, Jordan Yule, a progressive activist who has effectively |

1:31.1 | I'm getting into the big questions. I'm like, hey, solve capitalism. Also, how do we get these QAnon |
1:35.7 | people off those rails? I see the QAnon thing is a tricky one, but one thing I was thinking about |
1:41.6 | this week is how like watching Tucker, like the guy can speak to the issues that capitalism |
1:48.5 | creates. He can come at it from a populist perspective, but then his conclusions go like so far |
1:54.7 | right. He brought, like multiple times this week, he's brought up big pharma and the opioid crisis, |
