Filmed over three years, the new HBO docuseries Q: INTO THE STORM (2021) seeks to find an answer to the question that plagued the Trump years: who is Q, the mysterious leader of the "QAnon" movement? The documentary offers a provisional answer... but of course, there is no one simple explanation for how QAnon came to dominate the past few years. We discuss the backwash of the Trump era, PLUS: a report on Fox News' new late-night talk show "Gutfeld!"

Amber, Charlie, and Daniel from NYC DSA's Ecosocialist Working Group join us to discuss their campaign for public power, that is, to make the utilities we use publicly instead of privately owned. While this particular fight is happening here in New York, this is likely a stepping stone to a national Green New Deal.

This month we take a stab at covering the business of animals. To kick off this extravaganza of corruption we speak with animal rights activist and founder of SHARK (Showing Animals Respect and Kindness) about the corruption/thievery within animal charities such as PETA, the threat that factory farming poses against climate change and the effect the media has to dumb down the individual, which leads us to admiring animal abusers such as Joe Exotic. 

Support Shark by donating to them, watching their videos on YouTube or even just telling a friend about the reality of the dystopian present we live in.

P.S This is the book about the meat industry mentioned by Steve Hindi during the interview. Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, And Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry by Gail A. Eisnitz
