Summary

It is difficult to comprehend how much these people screw up, lie, lie about their screw ups, and screw up lying. But we’re going to try anyway. Travis, Jake, and Liv break down the most recent round of malice and incompetence from the Trump administration and the deceit, deflections, and conspiracy theories being deployed in defense of this bad behavior. Firstly we cover “Signalgate,” the controversy in which a National Security Advisor accidentally added a journalist to their Signal chat about military operations. Secondly we discuss the ongoing saga of Elon Musk’s DOGE and how their efforts are clearly making the government less efficient. And thirdly we cover the Trump administration’s brutal deportation policy, which has targeted people for arbitrary reasons and for their expression of rather benign opinions. We then debunk the conspiracy theory that there is evidence of American student groups collaborating with Hamas.

0:59.9	this is, this is not just the internet meme. It actually is very refreshing and healthy
1:04.9	for you to do occasionally to touch grass and not interact with the world through digital
1:09.7	representations, but interact with the world through actual physical things that exist.
1:14.6	This is true for everyone, but especially for hosts of the QAA podcast.
1:19.2	Yeah. Like macro dosing all the worst parts of the internet.
1:22.5	Yeah, as soon as Travis came back, I had lots of bad news to tell him about what was going on in the
1:28.4	world. And he looked excited. He was like, you know what? I'm ready. It's your back in the game.
1:33.0	Yeah. He's like, bring it on. Bring it on. Yeah, I also think like being disconnected for a couple
