Episode 429: Knights in Slavery's Service (trailer)

Take a break from hearing about Elon Musk’s pernicious influence in U.S. politics to learn about Elon Musk’s pernicious influence in U.K. politics.

Annie Kelly brings us an update on the state of the far right across the pond. Specifically, we learn about political party Reform UK, and its relationship to the UK’s two most prominent far-right figures. Those figures are: Nigel Farage - Mr Brexit himself and Reform’s leader, and Tommy Robinson, the perpetually re-imprisoned anti-Islamic agitator. Elon Musk spent weeks on X boosting the views of Tommy Robinson. This has caused some consternation for Farage, who has tried to distance himself from Robinson’s explicit ethnonationalism. 

This episode features contributions from Joe Mulhall, director of research at Hope Not Hate, the UK's largest antifascist organization.

Reform UK, Nigel Farage, and Elon Musk (E311)


It's been about a month since Donald Trump was sworn into office and they've already begun stripping the country of copper wiring, slashing a multitude of government agencies and attempting to facilitate large scale deregulation. This has led to some pretty absurd mistakes by the administration. Like when they fired a sizable chunk of the department of energy, only to attempt to scramble to rehire a group of nuclear safety workers only to realize that they didn’t actually have these worker’s contact information, as they no longer had access to their government email accounts. It appears that no one is at the wheel right now. You are being run by a kakistocracy, or rule by the worst, although given that the vice president and reddit billionaire shadow president both clearly have browsed 4chan too much, it seems more like a “kekistocracy” at the moment. 

Liv, Travis, and Jake discuss the lies that are flying out of DOGE and Elon Musk, the consequences of massive regulatory capture, the Trump admin’s plans to declassify old documents, and what r/conspiracy thinks about the new, "uncensored" version of ChatGPT.

The Kekistocracy (E312)

Welcome 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.
