2 Frenchmen at CPAC (Part One) (E313)
Added 2025-03-03 02:56:52 +0000 UTCWelcome to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center. Your companions are two Frenchmen: Julian Feeld and Anthony Mansuy. They attended the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) so you didn’t have to. Enjoy the CPAC International Summit where leaders like Liz Truss (UK), Eduardo Bolsonaro (Brazil), Morse Tan (South Korea), Steve Bannon (1933 Germany), and representatives from Japan, Australia, Hungary, Mexico, and Israel gathered to plot a far-right international coalition and whine about how their Big Beautiful Boys have been so poorly treated. Join Julian and Anthony as they run into JFK Jr (who is alive and well) as well as a whole lot of January 6 rioters, including one that still has a lot of love for QAnon. This is the first of a two-part episode based on our latest field reporting in Washington DC.
Thank you for being a QAA subscriber!

"Yakub's first white creation" is the most savage insult I've heard all week

2025-03-08 12:01:30 +0000 UTCMaybe it’s just genetic but I swear I’ve heard the tune somewhere else in a much more famous song.

2025-03-08 01:29:14 +0000 UTCIf you are going to make a claim at the very least take the time to spell Admiral Horthy’s name correctly. Also: Horthy was definitely an authoritarian reactionary conservative- but he wasn’t a fascist. He banned Hungary’s own fascist ‘Arrow Cross’ movement.
Mac-something
2025-03-08 01:25:06 +0000 UTCZionists were pals with fascism. Look at how close and comfy the Hungarian zionists were with admiral worthy.

No Relation to Henry
2025-03-06 13:01:44 +0000 UTCGodawful Movies has several episodes reviewing these movies. They are insane.
batlock666
2025-03-06 12:41:27 +0000 UTCPLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Look into the "Happy Science Anime Series" it's an insane series of movies produced by the cult that are absolutely brain melting. Would be an absolute amazing Jake episode.
Will Geisler
2025-03-06 02:54:45 +0000 UTCMy most important question for Julian is: did you see the guy with the circle of hair shaved on his head and what do you think possessed him to do this? Once I saw it I could not concentrate on anything else for the rest of CPAC. It haunts me.

No Relation to Henry
2025-03-05 20:42:12 +0000 UTCPhenomenal episode. I’ve had a very difficult time listening to anything talking about current events, but I found Julian’s pain so relatable and comforting because it made me feel less alone, and I was able to endure what amounts to a gathering celebrating right-wing ascendancy without falling into a black pit of despair. Thanks!

2025-03-05 14:13:08 +0000 UTCI can’t tell you how much I hate these MAGA cultists. Every terrible thing that happens to them is their own doing. And yet, no group of people is more mollycoddled.

2025-03-04 23:05:38 +0000 UTCYou will never convince me that Mercy Schlap isn't a Divine character in a John Waters movie. This is my RussiaGate

2025-03-04 23:04:14 +0000 UTCDude someone needs to tell vance and Trump about the fools stalin conned back in the day. He used supposed ideological brotherhood. It's so fucking obvious
Ruth Kiszka
2025-03-04 21:34:45 +0000 UTCI know it’s wrong but I wish Julian would have tried to grab Matt Schlap’s dick.
Ian
2025-03-04 20:49:15 +0000 UTCThere are a couple of happy science animes you can watch if anyone is so interested. It's pretty boring and somewhat incomprehensible
Austin
2025-03-04 18:05:37 +0000 UTCThat apologia for Yeon is wild. I love how the Korean guy just didn’t mention WHY Yeon was arrested for treason. Korean rightwingers are like American ones lol.
Isaac Suárez
2025-03-04 15:55:32 +0000 UTCyeah they even snuck the biography of Ryuho Ogawa into a few festivals. Im happy to help out if they need someone to research in Japanese (and I also lived In a building they managed though thats the extent of my personal connections)

Brian Sheppard
2025-03-04 04:23:08 +0000 UTCThe theme music info is in the ep description but I think one of the guys does some random ambient stuff throughout. Or maybe I'm thinking of a different podcast.

2025-03-04 03:43:01 +0000 UTCI miss when Julian convinced his wife to go with him to these conferences, she was fun on the pod

2025-03-04 00:57:38 +0000 UTCOH GOD HAPPY SCIENCE -- listen, watch their movies. I was sorta drowsing and then the words "happy science" shot me right up in my seat. jesus i need QAA to cover the happy science movies XDXDXD

2025-03-04 00:43:45 +0000 UTCHave been to that Gaylord a couple of times for conferences. It’s absolutely designed to keep you inside and ultimately dazed. The one in Nashville is even worse.
Lisa McColgan
2025-03-04 00:34:20 +0000 UTChe only wants to stop musk because of, firstly, the foreign worker visa thing, and secondly that musk himself is not american. everything else he says is just irrelevant window dressing for that
Jamie Jarvie
2025-03-04 00:19:06 +0000 UTCThe “disneyland coup” thing Eduardo Bolsonaro was referencing is that his father fled to Florida on his last day in power when it became clear that the military was divided and wasn’t going to support his coup plan. So because he was in “disneyland” when Jan 8th happened he couldn’t be planning a coup, even though he’d spent the last 3 months saying that the election was stolen and encouraging his supporters to camp in front of military facilities as a way to pressure them into action, a tactic intended to resemble the 1964 mass right-wing protests that precipitated the military dictatorship. Also the whining about inelegibility is specially hipocritical as Lula was declared ineligible in 2018, which was very important for Bolsonaro’s election in the first place.
Lula Gama
2025-03-03 23:58:07 +0000 UTCThe part where they discuss the Israeli minister meeting with the Austrian right-wing party founded by nazis is just mind-blowing. Are there any plans to do a deep dive into that unholy alignment?

2025-03-03 23:44:00 +0000 UTC“I urge you to come back instantly please” with the tone of someone about to completely lose their grip really got me. I’m glad you made it through buddies

2025-03-03 23:32:50 +0000 UTC1000% endorse Julian's comment that republican talking points should always be accompanied by crinkling food packaging foley work.

2025-03-03 23:02:15 +0000 UTCHearing the Gaylord described by someone else is surreal. It’s my place of choice to take pictures of my kids at Christmas time because I think it’s so airy and pretty 😂😂

Laura
2025-03-03 13:47:10 +0000 UTCI'm relieved to hear that Julian had a friend with him at CPAC. When you guys said on an earlier episode that he was there, I was concerned that he was on his own. When you're taking that much psychic damage, you've got to use the buddy system, as Anthony's hilariously desperate message proves! ❤️
Laura
2025-03-03 13:43:09 +0000 UTCI can't believe Steve bannon is now on team stop musk the apartheid man. It's scary to think about

2025-03-03 09:44:15 +0000 UTCFun fact: In the mid 2000's I lived in a shared-house in Tokyo that was owned by Kofuku no Kagaku (Happy Science). There were no cult members living in the house and we had very little interaction with the management, but every new resident got a free copy of Ryuho Ogawa's books, and there were regular cleaning and gardening staff who were cult members and they were basically zombies. I lived there five years and I don't think I ever heard them speak.
Last Years Man
2025-03-03 09:28:24 +0000 UTCFrenchman gone to cpac! I love the way Americans have always scapegoated the French as cowards, meanwhile when the French attempts to move the age you can begin collecting social security back by two years and they literally shut down Paris and burn hundreds of cop cars… meanwhile there is literally NOTHING Americans won’t just bend over and take straight up the ass as more clearly evidenced now than ever… there will be no civil war, no dramatic resistance, this is the fattest, laziest, dumbest population in history, we will sit in air conditioning and stare at our phones until ai has replaced jobs entirely, the public sector is entirely destroyed, 99% of the population owns NOTHING, every single thing we use is on a subscription based rent plan, and we get a meager universal income (as Elons already promoting) so there’s money coming from the government to our pockets and into the private sector… streamlined hyper capitalism coming our way and we will again, bend over and ask for more.
