Like the title says, this is the most extremely local episode of this podcast yet. Two candidates running for office in the Coralville city election on November 4th. This one's pretty much just for my neighbors.

Fairfield, Iowa was mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's 50th birthday book, so we called up our pal Dom to give us a little context. We tried our best, but... questions remain.

I went to a Rob Sand town hall. Joni Ernst is dropping out for real. Ashley Hinson is going to replace her. And Rod Blum is maybe going to replace Ashley. So who will replace him? Wait, who was he again?

For the past couple months, we've been slowly reading and reviewing Joseph Dobrian's third novel, Hard-Wired. We released the third episode earlier this week on patreon, so I thought now might be a good time to let the free listeners check out the first part of this series.

Our friend Emma returned to the show to talk with us about a resolution passed by the City of Iowa City's City Council in an effort to protect trans citizens whose rights have been rescinded by our evil state government. We also talked about the recent series of SHOCKING undercover videos EXPOSING WOKE DEI on our university campuses, and Democrats who fricking swear.

lol, Chuck is a monumental pussy.
Abhor the goddamn baldy.
Free Palestine, fuck Warren. What a goofy old bat.
The pussy whiner guy is right about libertarians and centrists, they're all GOP types who think the other designations sound sexier or more intellectual.
...the same pussy ass weiner is now hyperventilating about an imagined guy who hangs drywall doing something he doesn't like. Christ this guy can eat a ballbag.
the incel guy who calls in from a can on a string is talking about incels again, he's basically the editor of Mother Jones who manufactured the Joker crisis to begin with.
being proud of beating up marching band kids is despicable.
We don't need a next AOC, in hindsight.
thinking prison reform is primarily about "racial equality" is lib shit, not Marxist.
John MacArthur is an absolute reptile.
i don't know why the voice-mail thing is so fucking funny but it is.
Jamie Harrison's campaign spent a record breaking amount of money on his shitty campaign, as much if not more than Amy McGrath.
Minion Moore is a longtime Clinton freak and absolute reptile.
Gavin is one of those lethargic Cool Guys who sounds like he's permanently on the brink of a narcoleptic episode. Disgusting.
George Soros sounds like a Hungarian vampire for obvious reasons.
Sean Spicer 🤣
who the fuck is "Perry Johnson"
correct take: mass shootings happen because of capitalism, full stop.
The guy quavering about "incels" deserves to be called a f***** for the rest of his life. It's interesting to look back and see what were fashionable points of outrage for the shitlib contingent of years past.
listening to the biggest cucks of all time flogging themselves for their white privilege makes me think the left is a real force to be reckoned with.
