Are You NSPM-7 Compliant, Citizen? (E343)
What is National Security Presidential Memorandum‑7 (NSPM‑7)? And why is it causing major law firms to prepare their clients for possible politically motivated governmental probes? Our guest Ken Klippenstein explains the national security directive on “domestic terrorism” and how it serves to chill speech, harass Trump’s political opponents, and broaden the justifications for federal investigations.
Plus we unpack Trump promoting medbeds, Kash Patel’s new challenge coin, and the Q Shaman’s multi trillion dollar lawsuit in which he declares himself the “first legal President of the New Constitutional Republic of the United States Of America.”

The challenge coin thing is so fascinating to me. I got a commemorative coin from my local police force (UK) for working with them during covid (not a cop, MHcare for arrestees) and it's just a big old gold (?) coin that says thank you on it. Anyway apparently they spent like £30k on these things and got utterly dragged by local media for it
You guys come on and become socialists. It’s time. You’re there.
We just need a whole episode on main character syndrome. Jacob Chansley, religious MAGA, and pretty much everyone on the right believes they are somehow being ‘called’ to do things.
Nothing makes me crazier than when the boys cosplay as government experts but you know
Trump medbed post makes us really ponder what's worse with today's social media. 12 year old with unrestricted social media access or 70+ year old with unrestricted social media access

Trump 100% thought he actually did the med bed thing
Hi QAA I signed up for cursed media and made a mistake with my Spotify login and now it won't let me play your podcast on the right Spotify account. Can you please help me? Thank you.
Julian you’re my hero 🫡
From the auto que please note: Quantum leaps are small and discrete while astronomical leaps are large and are on a continuum.
The Kimmel thing was a victory. Some people might be a bit cowed by the minor consequence he suffered, but when you win, and people are pissed off already, then people are going to be emboldened to criticize the administration, right? I think the idea that anything that the admin does is somehow effective makes more salient the idea that fighting back is counterproductive. It's a Shumery idea.

So, Trump is pro general healthcare now? Or maybe not, since he deleted the video.
It's true, Ken seems to be a fusion of almost every ethnicity known to mankind lol.
Seriously why am I the only one ringing the bell here? Am I going crazy? Why are you guys platforming a guy who was downplaying the national guard occupying Democratic cities on Glenn Greenwald’s podcast LESS THAN A WEEK AGO???
Ken feels like he's such a perfect fit for the podcast tbh, like sometimes the podcast is like "guest entertains howling goblins", but ken seems like he's on the same wavelength as you three

Good ep!
Nihilistic violent extremism is a term used for the online "com" network and 764 adjacent groups. Highly doubt that they'll try to lump these "opposed to tradition" things into that category.
Came here to say this. "NVE" has a really specific context. Ken is great but he's a NatSec guy way more than he's an online extremism guy. I'm not saying this isn't something to watch, I just think overstating things like this causes undue panic. It's bad enough as it is.
Governor Pritzker of Illinois has been very vocal about the NG invading Chicago.
The idea that the Trump admin thinks there must be a vast conspiracy to oppose ICE raids because none of them understand basic human empathy is the saddest thing that has ever made me laugh
I hope that when people ask what I'm in for and I show them a tweet, it's a banger. I'd hate to be in jail for something my cellmate thought wasn't funny
Jake, I am begging you. Read one Howard Zinn book. I can't remember anything from my American social studies class except tracing hand turkeys either
Nihilistic violent extremists sounds way fucking cool
Julian getting bleeped for casually saying how he wants to shoot people in graphic detail will never stop being hilarious to me
Sometimes I like to go back and listen to old episodes with peak Julian Rage because it's comforting to know someone else sees the world doin' what it's doing and screams about it
I only recently put together that Oliver Cromwell was Puritan, killed Charles I, led a terror regime, and after he was defeated other Puritans had to flee England... I genuinely had the "they were too pious for England" in my head forever, and I'm not even anglophone
The Puritans started emigrating to the colonies a bit before Cromwell was around, but yeah.
The Ghostbusters reference inside the first two minutes had me giggling uncontrollably in a public place, thanks guys
Fucking love you Julian
Somebody else clarified in his Twitter whic; to my knowledge he hasn’t corrected, but Nihilist Violent Extremism is a Biden-era terror designation, not a creation of the Trump administration
See y’all in Canada!
People be wilding.
I was really hoping you'd bring back Allie to break down Chansley's lawsuit.
Damn. Birds on the back of an alligator is a perfect visual metaphor.
hated this thanks
Tuning in from my medbed!
If you have an expired passport or you've never applied for one, GET IT NOW! Get Real ID, get an enhanced driver's license, get your passport. It's not that hard to picture National Guard/DHS checkpoints being a thing we have to go through in 2-3 years whenever exiting/entering cities or crossing state lines.
Ken Klippenstein
I'm surprised anyone is surprised that the admin believes in Soros conspiracy theories, everyone who knew that things like that and voter fraud were convenient fictions has long since been purged from the Trump orbit
Man, if Jacob Chansley is declaring himself the rightful ruler of the US via rambling proclamation, we've really retvrned to 1860s America
Sorry my language wasn’t strong enough in my last comment so let me be more direct: Ken Klippenstein is a fucking sensationalist hack and I would really appreciate it if he was never on here again The guy was on Steve Bannon’s podcast last year!! He wrote an article defending Hegseth a few months ago!! Get this guy off this podcast!!
he's been on like at least three times before this lol. there's a Jake story about him. wym get this guy off my podcast
QAA is the news.
QAA writes our future. Damn them! God could I use a med bed and organ removal right about now.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert mentioned, hell yeah
Shake it, baby!
Love the pod but really need the volume up on these. It's too quiet on Patreon
It's always weird when they talk about Jacob after having him on and being so buddy buddy with him before
Yes, especially how they basically let him speak unfiltered and did very little if anything to pushback against the wild shit he was saying. That episode is (in my opinion) one of the small handful of bad moves they've made since the pod blew up.
Pod Save boys getting called out! It's a pod war for the soul of America!
hellllll yes the klip
Jeff Rosenstock Mentioned 🔥

Med Beds might be the funniest distraction from Epstein, yet
Wooooo K Klipz is back!
Already enjoying this barely 2 mins in thanks to Travis laying into Julian before the intro was done. Heroic work boys
I’m not feeling too well you guys
super glad to know that Jacob's brain is that cooked. really explains a lot.
yes
As fascinating and depressing as always! But genuinely. All of my friends don't even want to look at the news, which I understand, but this is the world we are living in. I hope we can use this knowledge to be as prepared and compassionate as possible.
I think Jake set a record for quickest Ghostbusters reference. Well done.
There is no Ghostbusters reference, only Zuul
wouldnt this just make it more likely actual terrorism happens? like as i understand it the reason you want protest and shit to be legal is like, if you get punished for like being a terrorist for protest wouldnt people just go out and do actual terrorism?
People don't WANT to do terrorism though. People want affordable eggs and healthcare, and there's nothing you can bomb to get that.
I’d rather be on this list than the Epstein list.
Well this is fucking terrifying
Are you Liv Agar compliant, listener?
ken agar
Third....how sad.... currently "working" ....damn you Reddit for distracting me! If any customers call in the next hour I'm going pretend I can't hear them 😂
Med beds are back baby 😎 Can't wait for my stay in one.
Maybe first?
Well Fuck
