We take a look at the guy who leaked a trove of classified military documents to impress a bunch of teenagers on a gun youtuber discord, truly a hero for the modern age. Then, Diane Feinstein, more on the Harlan Crow/Thomas scandal, and techie-on-techie violence in the streets of San Francisco.

Eyy, oopsidaisiliano — itsa slop!

etienne

I also watched American Psycho and thought the acts of Patrick Bateman were good and cool

ZeeBee

This is completely unrelated to this ep, but I've been going down a big Ian Svenonious rabbit hole lately. He'd be a great guest on the pod.

Franklin Shepard Inc.

What if it was a corn pops commercial, except its for chapo? "Gotta have my Slop!"

Alexander Fuchs

can you invite blumenthal at some point? feels like it could be a good episode, funny, informative, maybe controversial ... id enjoy that thanks

Lydia Maria Child

too edgy and hated by democrats and Sam seder types. Can't do it, sorry. See also, Matt Taibi. Radio silence from the dirt bag edge lords, per usual. Serious question: do you all just want to finger bang AOC so bad that you can't make a peep about any of this? Don't want to offend MSNBC-lites at Minority Report and Young Turks or whoever? Grow some fucking balls

Lydia Maria Child

"Larry Johnson and Other Former (CIA) Insiders Debunk Air Guardsman-as-Pentagon-Leaker Story as Press Cheers Arrest" - https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/04/larry-johnson-and-other-former-insiders-debunk-air-guardsman-as-pentagon-leaker-story-as-press-cheers-arrest.html Leak was an intelligence op, intentional misinformation and red meat for pro-war "liberals", to boost support for Patriot Act 2.0, or the RESTRICT Act. Democrats and "moderate" GOP idiots will fall head over heals for this shit, as always. Americans are just fucking stupid. Plain as that.

Robert Ryan

Waiting to hear felix accuse him of being groyper adjacent.

Bill Crotts

Felix dropping a Lockhorns reference for the kids

Arid

Love to hear the Ian McCollum reference in the podcast. As a bonus his good friend Karl (InRange) is openly leftist

Cody

felix is not wrong about the culinary culture of iowa

T. S.

Felix, uts Terra hote not hot.

Red Herring McGuffin

the leaked documents were likely leaked deliberately by the government as a disinfo op it's also a way for them to fuck with the UAE for their warming relations with syria the fact that the white house immediately confirmed that the docs were real and the media havent stopped talking about it since lets you know this isnt some random fuck up if it were this would all be memory holed and youd be called a wacko conspiracy theorist for even mentioning them

Kevin

I know, right. It seems like two-third of the guests are just LA-New York hipsters who are personal friends of the show. Literally, "Hey, go financially support our upper-middle class "writer" asses."

Waymon Stoltz

I'm pretty sure they all do it on purpose

HuffingGasInTheShed

My sister in law 100% bought the att cell service from the extra guy. I’ll ask if she blew him too Details to follow, watch this space

M

Y’all have been esp in stride lately—I’m super impressed. Excited for you. Grateful for your work. Kill it.

Tim Mullen

Does make sense for 2023 that our Daniel Ellsberg would be some dude trying to get clout in the group chat

Eon Gattignolo

am i the only one who thinks these leaks are limited hangout/honeypot action?

Eon Gattignolo

20 little potential assets, mainstream reveal that "war not go so good, need more money," tailor made boogeyman for the libs, more fuel for the "discord is harming our children" rhetoric. idk,

Nolan

Say what you want about Massachusetts but if you could convince them that the deep state/corporate state are conspiring to make the Patriots lose we would have a revolutionary government by Monday.

Hunter

It’s an opp to get us out of the war. Clearly a losing battle and they want to refocus efforts to China. Ukraine war has been a bullshit proxy war from the beginning, we provoked the entire thing. if you ever had a Ukraine flag in your bio youre an NPC

Yairo Martis

It's great that Felix is also a fan of Ian McCollum a.k.a. Gun Jesus from Forgotten Weapons. Also, spot on description lmao

Hunter

Facts. The EU is over it, the people are hip to the US bullshit. Time to shift focus to China. Yay another forever war

Alexandr

Good. Let us finally be destroyed by the actual good guys of the world circa 2023. I'd gladly serve as a Fifth Column agent for the CPC and the PLA if they were to invade.

plainwrap

The CIA reclassifying the MICE acronym for espionage motives into "Money, Internet Clout, Ego".

Hunter

Sadly I think we’re passed the point of invasions. it’s going to be mainly an economic war with some proxy wars in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia to fight over cheap resources. We lose the global reserve currency status but nothing will really change except we’ll be poor and consume even more of Chinas crap products. This might kick off our own Maoist revolution but it’s not realistic for them to invade and implement a Chinese government here when they can use us as a cash cow forever

Michael S. Judge

I was waiting for "rigid abstemiousness" like it was the intro riff to "Gimme Shelter" at a Stones gig

Josh Bobst

Ian mccullum of forgotten weapons. Known to his audience as gun Jesus

ZeeBee

Ian Svenonious, go on And Introducing!

Ryan Malone

Felix with a Paul Pierce out of nowhere lol once he gets into semi-recent nba lore it’s over. Dwight Howard alone will probably be a whole miniseries.

instain_mother

Great episode. Whats the name of this documentary theyre talking about in thevery beginning?

J.P. McD.

I hope he gets into 90s Knicks and keeps mentioning “Hubert Davis” the way he used to mention Redd Foxx

Ryan Malone

Unironically I believe Felix would become obsessed with Chris Herring once he found his Twitter page. Could lead him down 90s Knicks rabbithole as an added bonus.

Ryan Malone

Abducted in Plain Sight. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen.

otis

Did Felix just shout out Gun Jesus?

otis

+1 for Ian's trustworthiness

Psych-O-Sonic 99

Pretty sordid episode. Obviously, this OG kid is an idiot, but these kids around him are in their teens. The WaPo piece highlights how a lot of them sought friendship on discord because of the pandemic and social isolation.

Post Void

Felix forgot a big one, Ted Kennedy letting his date drown in Chappaquddick

Sam Evergreen

Boys, you forgot about our friend Slobodan Praljak

Doug Cartel

10$ says Oxide took his name from that one level of COD MW2

J. A.

exactly. Like dolan said they closed the lemonade stand in the middle east and opened a grape drank stand in ukraine

Doug Cartel

"according to unnamed government sources, many documents that HAVE been leaked but NOT seen yet show that actually everything is fine and Ukraine is 360noscoping russians doing human wave attacks, like in video games"

Post Void

Very Massachusetts centric episode. The second story describes the love life of most living the suburbs of Boston over the age of 50.

b-rar

Leaking government secrets is cool and good

Kamran Husain

look to be fair my grandfather is 98 and was still working as a surgeon 5 years ago

Brandon Rawnsley

Great episode. Everything is as it has always been: terrible, but also dumber.

A RHINO

Horrible thing good* haha comedy!

A RHINO

That's just it.. I'm not

Psych-O-Sonic 99

You can look the word up, if you don’t know.

T

Corn Pop was a bad dude.

Psych-O-Sonic 99

The kids interviewed in the article were at least forthright in not drawing a comparison to Snowden.

Psych-O-Sonic 99

Felix read this and told me you’re absolutely right. You’re a goody good boy for knowing this.

Psych-O-Sonic 99

This place really is a cesspool for the gayest sycophants imaginable

Psych-O-Sonic 99

I’m not the one paying to blow the Chapo guys

etienne

there's always people whining against the episode for some random reason but it takes a lot of fortitude to start a new thread to complain that people complain about you complaining

Matt Boi

Sounds like OG was the leader of his friend group fr fr. Ladies taking note

Psych-O-Sonic 99

You’re right, I ought to repeate takes to my friends that are from this podcast, and claim they’re my own thoughts.

brewdog

Good ep, but the Pulp song at the end was *chef's kiss* haven't listened to This is Hardcore in years, gonna fix rn, thnx

Maddybird

lol matt taibi is a joke and has been since before useful idiots even ended. what's the purpose of interviewing a person with zero integrity or credibility?

Psych-O-Sonic 99

I’m sorry that your personality hinges on these twitter celebs. It’s really sad that you can’t even be mildly critical to people you like.

etienne

if I understand correctly you want chapo to become a serious confrontational interview panel show and ... have Matt Taibbi on to explain himself? or critically engage with the congressional record of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez?

Isaac

What a nice and sane comment :) sometimes I go to the Trueanon subreddit and then look at this Patreon comment section and... man... I just want what they have 😐

Psych-O-Sonic 99

Uh, they have critically engaged with AOC’s record, you idiot.

Zach Pierce

Y’all gonna talk about the injustices perpetrated here in my home state of Tennessee? Kinda disappointed there’s been no mention…

Zach Pierce

EAT THE PIZZA WITH THOSE FINGERS AND HANDS, RONNY MEATBALLZ

Zach Pierce

Chapo looks back on the Golden State Warriors: the RUN TMC years!

james

Katie Porter was my 2nd grade lunch lady

Alexander Fuchs

he isnt and hasnt been and youre wrong. hes just not particularly ideological inclined. a typical american torn between libertarian and socialistic impulses. but incidentally: whats up with useful idiots still having him on their branding and goddamn bad faith *still* rocking virgil texas on its podcast logo on spotify?! 😂

james

Ari Ben-David lmao, it’s Pat Betdavid (equally funny)

JV

Such a good episode

Chris

When you're not wealthy or a successful white entertainer; feinstein blocking judicial picks isn't that funny

A RHINO

Yeah, it has real ramifications for everyone who isn't wealthy New Yorkers or chuds

Kamran Husain

he was in the pakistani army and mostly worked in the universities by the trail end there but we trying to get him the in guinness world record book for longest working doc

Chris

I wish they could figure out that there's a middle between "it would be dope if we all died" and "it's possible to make the USA less shitty". Imma be cringe but fr fr, the Dems not packing the federal courts isn't super funny for a cock sucking lefty boy with a Jewish grandma, if you catch my drift

Adam

very funny episode, i love chapo trap house

Mark Schneider

Griftopia was a great book & he's done a lot of other worthwhile stuff, no doubt. I gave up on Greenwald when he did a friendly (ass kissing) interview with Alex Jones AFTER Jones' civil court loss for lying about the kids being murdered at Sandy Hook. Taibbi definitely does not belong in the same basket as Greenwald!

Alexander Fuchs

yea, you know what? come to think of it i probably would want to believe that greenwald just has a very lively way of interpreting freedom of speech. maybe theres a value in that but idk. didnt see that interview either but ive been watching a lot of ancient assange videos lately and the way he got a lot of shit ... makes me feel for people who have been through a lot of shit i guess and greenwald is certainly one of them. imagine irl living through snowden. life a movie

C. Andrew

"Hi, everyone thanks for tuning into another episode of Forgotten Weapons, this is Ian McCollumn and today we have a special guest: Felix Biederman"

etienne

okay I just had an email from twitter saying that the small application I wrote myself that scraped my likes to download the media (I have a fetish for media conservation) has been deactivated and I need to up to the 100$/month plan and I've been pretty flippant about Twitter Musk in the past but this is *actually* the apocalypse, to me

Paul F. Holzfäller

Too many tards in the comments saying OG big timing his teen buddies on discord was an op. Fuck off.

Jonathan G

I like how Felix says “mailers” around 26:00 because it contributes to our working knowledge of how he pronounces “aliens”

Rollo Tomassi

"Kama-kama-ha" and "Terra Hot (Haute)" in the same sentence. Felix, you're from Illinois!

Greg

Lol at Matt’s Larry Doby reference!

utolso

Felix had so many good bits this episode

Cam H

Ruth Gator Binsburg

Lauren Cabral

The oxide YouTube guy is aparrenlty in training to become an apache pilot.

Chris

One of these judges literally just caused a public health emergency with his pen.. the power of appointing judges isn't abstract or untouchable at all

chance

"I am so fucking thick" - will

A RHINO

It's not about my life, there are other people who's lives will be made worse by the frothing from the mouth republican judges who just decided to ban a contraceptive drug.. Something a Dem judge would likely not do, as well as push back on abortion bans as best as they can. Sure they're still corpo hacks but not fully fascists. Ffs

Eamonn Curley

For fucks sake please dedicate 20 to 30 mins in the next episode on Joe's trip to his homeland the past week. Specifically the black and tans gaffe

Retrospecter

“It’s sugar man” is funny but I’ll never forget “it’s silly season.” Guy is not gonna make it

Gordon Schmidt

Matt reciting the Barbaro bars blew my mind

Joshua Matney

Can anyone send me a link to episode 12 of hell of presidents

Sardonic

hahahahaha, that fucking AT&T pitch guy thing happened to me too. Amazing. Did not take any deals though.

Mauve_Avenger

Why would you seemingly prefer for them to have some kind of freakout instead of responding to the latest instance of state failure by throwing up their hands and riffing a bit for laughs? Do they need to pepper every show with "by the way, I think women deserve rights" so you don't think they've taken a hard right? This is what the show has always been about

Robert Karnick

Felix confirmed for an enemy of us grand strategy-heads

Sam Schick

You can download a link on Reddit

A RHINO

I just think it's not particularly comedic to pretend bad thing good for 40 minutes, it's not edgy or unique and it's been overdone on the pod. There are better ways to achieve edgy comedy than playing opposite position, I'm a big fan of chapo for a long time now and I enjoy an informed opinion as opposed to when they just do the whole bad thing actually good act which is a staple of their worst pods. Maybe it's great for irony poisoned black pilled Bernie 2020 anarchists. But I still happen to think that a slow move to the left is better than embracing the apocalypse like 1990s cult members taking the poison Kool-Aid

Ty Baron

Chapo is hitting again

J.P. McD.

Fuck off so hard with the “you wouldn’t be laughing if you weren’t PRIVILEGED” shit. Gallows humor isn’t something that was invented by Bernie 2021 Twitter.

A RHINO

How about eat a dick, was dog shit then and it's dog shit now. "haha we actually like the horrible thing" is lazy and not great for people paying for political commentary /humor. I can get better analysis humor on twitch for free. Anyone can just name off bad thing and say "awesome I love it, I'm for it" for 30 min

Andrew Cross

Felix as a forgotten weapons guy kinda rules lmao

Andrew Cross

um actually he says “I’m Ian mccollum” u scrub

calvin kilby

Grade-A slop from the dry boyz

Harrison Emery

Shout out fellow chapo x war thunder fans

etienne

it was more a ref to tech CEOs murderning hobos for sport but yeah okay

etienne

patreon devs logging off for a nice friday beer after changing the font and making the comment section 15% slower to load

Whale Robot

Yes!!! I knew exactly what he was talking about. That guy actually rules

Mark Schneider

There is a great book about San Francisco weirdness during the halcyon years from the 60s to the 80s called "Season of the Witch" with Jim Jones, DiFi becoming mayor after Dan White's twinkie-inspired (not really) massacre of Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk, etc. I think it was John Burton of the Burton-- (Willie) Brown "progressive" Machine (& don't forget Willie brought Kamala Harris into politricks as his for-hire decades younger "girlfriend"), anyway Burton said Feinstein's issue in being gay-friendly but not getting it was "she just needed to get fucked really hard" but never had a guy who had the juice to fuck some sense into her empty suburban mom brain.

J.P. McD.

My phone gets hot if it’s a great or bad ep with lots of comments

Ahmed Razick

As a person closer to a mental health out patient then in patient. I notice alot of my old behavior in most if not out right all Americans. They seem to think the middle is a compromise between two opposing ideas. When it's actually a proper synthesis of two opposing ideas. I ghink the lt:dr is actually read Marx and read psychology. Another human being isn't an unknown unknown. It's a known unknown that can be known. The population of our country is fundamentally disconnected from reality. I couldn't grow up because I didn't have the meds that allowed my brain to function normally. Everything after that is easy. I'm here and listen ti chapo because this is my bubble. When you know you are being lied to and find other like minded individuals that see things the way you do because Marx, Lenin, and co are forbidden knowledge because they are right. Or we are needless reading into this stuff to deeply but that implies we can impliment solutions.

Kamran Husain

sadly lahore but you can bet i got some cousin magic working out there

Rusty

I fondly look back on the video Ian did about the Rhodesian FAL with Larry Vickers as a guest, with the latter going off on myths about the Rhodesian military and anticommunist rhetoric while you can see Ian internally going "dude shut the fuck up and let me talk about the gun".

Pepipopa

Then make everyone's day better and unsubscribe

A RHINO

No I'll stay to ruin your day, I still like chapo, just not frothing from the mouth cult member like yourself

Alexander Fuchs

ill look out for it but whatever i wasnt talking about taibbi (who was on ... idk 3 times?) and im just kinda waiting for 90 min of blumenthal shooting the shit

BureaucracyNow

The boys are geeked up! Silly goose energy! We freaking love it!!!!!!

Poppy Chulo

I'll check that book out. Kamala Harris was a prostitute?

Gary Perry

That valuetainment youtube show is hilarious. That dude interviewed Richard wolf a few years back. You can just see the richard wolf " bullshit" buzzer going off behind his eyes the whole time.

Jon Spiegler

Peter Levenda’s Ratline makes compelling case Hitler escaped to Indonesia and lived out his days as a fake doctor on a remote island running a clinic. Apparently the Soviets never actually had his body

Axel H.

This episode was hilarious, but miserable scolding dicks aren’t satisfied unless everyone is as much of a humorless prick as they are.

tyler

no pasaran!

Ahmed Razick

Ok as I listen to the episode he is probably a misguided youth reactionary but he is somehow the type we need because I need to find those spy balloon pics. I want to see what a modern spy balloon looks like.

THEKILLERWHALE

"We drink the poison at the same time, right mein lieber?" "Sure Eva... sure."

Michael NWI

I want to start a go fund me to send Felix to Terre Haute IN so he can hear how to pronounce properly the name of the armpit of America. BTW hometown of the greatest Hoosier Eugene V. Debs

Sam Newell

Felix speaks of Gun Jesus, Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons

Mark Schneider

Well, a political prostitute!! But she was not even in that book . . . Willie Brown was termed out in the 90s and had a column in the local rag, SF Chronicle to share his "wisdom". So in one column he shared that he bought her a luxury car for her birthday, clearly a reward for her "attention". Even my racist Republican dad loved Willie Brown one time when he saw him speak, coz Willie was so corrupt and flaunted it with such style!!

Pat

I've listened to every episode of e1, he's pronouncing it correctly

Doug Cartel

How come these discord nerds are never leaking top secret shit to win arguments like "did bush blow up 9-11" or "what's under the denver airport"? Cmon leakers up your fucking game

Doug Cartel

This was my guess too, hi 5

Michael NWI

I beg to differ comrade, being a unfortunate citizen of this God fore saken state. Not enough north Kentucky drawl in the second word of the name. Everything south of US 30 is north Kentucky.

Gordon Schmidt

Did that book connect the Milk/Moscone assassinations to the Jonestown massacre? People forget that the assassinations happened like nine days later. Additionally, Dan White's twinkie defense stinks like MKULTRA to me

Charles Schultz

Showing Musk the animals would be disastrous. Untold species would go extinct as he Anton Chigur cattle gunned microchips into the skulls of all the mustelids.

Andrew Cross

I mean Ian isn’t without his issues either, doing his best to not be a complete chud on the surface like basically every other gun youtube guy is a step up

themaroonlagoon

You just know that after watching people try to push Feinstein out of office some of the many senators sensing that their own dementia might not be all that far off are hurriedly writing legislation to make it even more difficult to oust a senator who refuses to go of their own accord. Fast forward 10 years & C-SPAN will be the new Must See TV.

Chris T

Sounds like it just might not be your thing

A RHINO

No, I like chapo. Just think the "I love it" when it comes to bad things isn't their best stuff, overall I'm still a big fan

brewdog

Just listened again and damn, as a 38 year old toddler mom with a quietly supportive, load-sharing partner, "Dishes" hits especially hard now. 🥲

Richard McBeef

Hope the next side pod is just felix coming up with dank elon memes

MKatieUltra

The Michelle Tandler bubbly water video was most chilling when she said “yummy” for WATER while doing the tech stare. I can’t wait to find out there was some lead based alternative medicine treatment all the innovators were getting in SV. Or maybe it’s still the effects of that raw water that comes in spheres and has algae growing in it.

Chris T

Debs and Vonnegut

Michael NWI

Thank you Chris, forgot about Vonnegut. He has a tiny museum in Indy, small but I liked it. The only thing worth seeing in that god awful city.

Frank

wow so epic gottem

i threw the biggest party in texas history when i was like 16 ]

absoluteboi

every day feinstein doesnt retire, this gets even funnier!

Chris

Sure, except it's not gallows humor and it's not good. I'm gay, I have a sister and a niece - so yeah the court picks matter to me in a very real non internet way.

A RHINO

I get that, I just think they have way more to contribute. Wasn't trying to be a dick about it, and I'm sorry for the grim situation in the USA.

Chris

They do have more to contribute. They could for example, use their millions and their media company to draw negative attention to DF, just an idea. If I wanted gen x style "poor me" suicidal ideation I'd go listen to cumtown. Chapo isn't a comedy podcast, it's a politics podcast with silly friends.

A RHINO

So we're in agreement there, I wouldn't expect a pity parade, but some of the usual analysis you don't get elsewhere.

James Aydelotte

We don’t use U2 aircraft except in atmospheric research by NASA- and they call them ER2 aircraft. Or at least we did 25 year ago.

MinkL0af

I have to disagree with the suggestion that nobody cares about Ukraine anymore. Every normal person in my life outside of work mentions Ukraine or Russia out of the blue every time I talk to them. My natural assumption is also that nobody really gives a shit at this point, so I've been caught off guard by it multiple times.
