The hosts dive into the puzzling intersection of QAnon beliefs and political power. They explore Marjorie Taylor Greene's break from Trump and her continued QAnon signals. The discussion turns to FBI Director Kash Patel's private jet scandal and his past criticisms of personal travel. Plus, they examine The Blaze's controversial use of gait analysis in identifying the January 6th pipe bomber. The surreal nature of politicians like Greene supporting pardons for convicted figures sparks further debate on accountability and conspiracy in today's government.

QAnon Can Lead To Power, Not Just Ruin
Promoting QAnon usually harms relationships and careers but can also lead to high office like Congress or FBI director.
The hosts highlight that conspiracy promotion sometimes results in real political power rather than only personal ruin.

MTG's Soft 'Renunciation' On The View
Marjorie Taylor Greene told The View she "went over that a long time ago" when asked about QAnon and denied changing her beliefs.
The hosts treat that as a public distancing ritual rather than a genuine renunciation.

Distancing Rhetoric Masks Continued QAnon Signaling
MTG continues to amplify QAnon dog whistles like the "Rachel Chandler" tweet despite claims of renouncement.
The hosts argue media framing of her as having renounced QAnon is lazy and misleading.

In many sad cases, promoting QAnon ends with broken relationships and derailed careers. But occasionally, QAnon promoters end up in Congress or as Director of the FBI. This week Jake, Travis, and Liv check in with our QAnon friends in government. We chat about Rep. Margarie Taylor Greene’s split with Trump and accusations that FBI Director Kash Patel is living large (while impressing his 24-year-old country singer girlfriend) on the taxpayer’s dime. We also discuss The Blaze’s bumbling attempt to identify the January 6th Pipebomber through “gait analysis” and Trump’s new involvement in the case of former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters, who is serving a 9 year prison sentence for election interference.
We don’t cover the newly released emails about Epstein, not because any of us have been tourists to Little Saint James, but because the document tranche was inconveniently released shortly after we recorded this episode. We will however cover that, along with the spin conspiracy world, next week.
