Donald Trump pulled more tricks from his sleeve this week, leaving many wondering what mind games the former president is playing, especially in the Missouri Senate race.
In the latest episode of The Daily Beast fever dream Podcaster, host Will Sommer and guest host, The Daily Beast’s senior opinion editor Anthony Fisher, discuss Trump’s latest strategy — which, according to Sommer, will be “in every era” get a response”.
Earlier this week, Trump announced his support for Missouri’s Republican Senate primary, but the problem is, he appears to be backing both by simply backing “Eric.” There are two contenders named Eric: Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmidt and Eric Gretens, a former governor who resigned under a criminal investigation over sexual assault allegations. The news threw the Trump world into chaos.
“It’s typical Trump, like an onion, with a lot of layers,” Fisher said. “My first thought was that this was just a straight-up troll, just a way to create chaos, a relatively novel way for Trump to insert himself into the political news cycle. He’s trolling Republicans; Really, he’s creating chaos.
“Anyway, someone could claim that Trump’s support pushed them to the brink. Trump could wave that flag.”
Also on the podcast, Summer reveals his thoughts behind Alex Jones’ ‘documentary’ alex’s warand bad reviews.
“I watched the movie and I have to say … this movie stinks. It’s two hours. It’s not good. It’s not good,” Summer warned.
“Director Alex Lee Moyer spent a lot of time with Alex Jones, but not in a really enlightening way. We didn’t see Alex Jones Jones cooks breakfast and doesn’t really interact with the kids or even actually run his business behind the scenes. We just hear a lot of Alex Jones talking about how stubborn he is and how much he loves finding out the truth.
“Guys, this stinks. It’s just not good. We don’t talk to his ex-wife who has a reputation for being very picky about him. For me, thanks to Sandy Hook for all this about how his business is run The lawsuit for the money he’s made, there’s a lot of detail there. It doesn’t touch on all of his various legal repertoires, his unprecedented legal complaints and plans to avoid trial for it.
“That’s the real problem with this documentary, it’s just that he seems to be lying all the time. There really isn’t any counterweight.”
Elsewhere in this episode, Conspirituality Podcast co-host Matthew Remski explains the meaning behind “conspirituality” and what it entails.
“The term comes from a fantastic academic paper in 2011, published by sociologist of religion David Voas and independent researcher Charlotte Ward,” explains Remski.
“They coined the term as a combination of unions who saw what they described as a male-led fascination with political cynicism and a female-led fascination with New Age aspirations and an imminent enlightened lifestyle. “
In the “Fresh Hell” segment of the podcast, the host discusses Romana Didulo, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada,” and a small but very vocal segment of the Canadian population who claims she rules the land.
“This is a woman…she’s a normal person. She doesn’t expect much from the royal family,” Summer said.
“She issued these decrees and encouraged her followers to, for example, impose the death penalty on anyone involved in vaccinating children.”
