Listening to the latest I Don't Speak German and they claim that GW Bush had a higher death toll than Trump, and I wonder if that's true when you factor in his COVID response? At one point the Trump was the leading source of misinformation on the virus, letting it run riot domestically was a deliberate choice to maximise the death toll in blue states, and his Pentagon seeded scepticism about Sinovax abroad. How many deaths is Trump really responsible for?

I Don't Speak German: 119: The Reichsbürger Coup, with Annika Brockschmidt

Jack welcomes special guest Annika Brockschmidt to the show.  Annika specialises in covering the far-right and tells Jack all about the recent German government swoop on those in the Reichsbürger movement who were planning 'Day X', a storming of the Bundestag and a takeover of the state.  We go over the context of the far-right in Germany, the composition and ideology of the Reichsbürgers, the coup plans, the structure of the conspiracy, the reaction in Germany, the connections with QAnon and the Sovereign Citizens, the context of 'Nuremberg 2.0' and the various strands of paranoid pandemic politics, etc.  A really fascinating episode, thanks to Annika's deep knowledge.

At about 25 minutes into this podcast episode, I was shocked to learn that there are real loonies in #rap !!

#IDSG #IDontSpeakGerman #episode118YeTheRightReacts 11 Dec 2022

#antisemitism #farright , etc. I don't have to shave now, because my chin's scraping the floor with shock at some of the stuff I'm hearing about #JayZ, #KendrickLamar, etc.
I don't think I've actually closed my mouth for several minutes. I could catch flies at this point!

You've got to hear this!

I Don't Speak German: 118: Ye - the Right Reacts

What happens when one of the most famous recording artists in the world has a full divorced-dad-crisis and plummets into the abyss he's been dangling over for ages, the abyss of far-right, antisemitic, pro-Nazi conspiracy theories?  Well, now we know, because we've all been watching Ye (the artist formerly known as Kanye West) cart Nick Fuentes and Milo Yiannopoulos around with him like his new crew of homies and hype men as he dines with Trump, does interviews with Tim Pool and Alex Jones, and chats with Gavin McInnes (founder of the Proud Boys) in what looks like a torture basement from cheap kink porn, all the while loudly declaring that Hitler did nothing wrong and the Jews are out to get him. This episode focuses less on Ye himself and more on the Right's varied reactions to his odyssey of enthusiastic newly-converted-nazi antics.  We check in with, amongst others, Nick Fuentes himself, Matt Walsh, and Elijah Schaffer.

Trying to make it through the GAM backlog has definitely affected these numbers. Not a huge surprise, though.

I Don't Speak German: 104: #AFPAC III

This time, we look at the recent AFPAC conference, Nick Fuentes' gathering of the Groypers, i.e. the even worse version of CPAC, attended by Marjorie Taylor Greene and Joe Arpaio, among many horrible others.  Controversies, squabbles, coalition-building, Christian dominionism, and very long, weird speeches.  Daniel and Jack both do voices.
