758 - The Iowa State Fair is Decadent and Depraved feat. Rock Hard Caucus (8/14/23)
We’re joined by Justin Comer and Evan Jones of the Rock Hard Caucus podcast for their on-the-ground report from this year’s Iowa State Fair. Over the course of two days, Justin & Evan endured the brutal heat and hog stench of the Des Moines fairgrounds to see Mike Pence, Francis Suarez, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Marianne Williamson, RFK Jr. and more, all live and in the flesh. We get their takes on the Iowa political scene, what candidates can convincingly appear to be regular humans, and which of these freaks are worth paying attention to, if any.

Late to the ep- I liked these boys
Anyone need a ticket for the Toronto show? I got one willing to part with for a grey wolf in need.
I’m so confused - they’d never seen pigs at the fair before? They were disturbed by baby farm animals at a state fair?
Perry Johnson is now charging $7 shipping. Great job, everyone!
Sorry, I was wrong about everything being free shipping. However, I'm looking at a cart of 60 hats right now with no shipping charge.
If anyone is looking for great past episodes check out EP 499. Rush Limbaugh had just died and then the spend the rest of the ep on the Texas power grid failure. Matt also has a coupler great rants. If anyone else has listened to any great back episodes let us know.
That was one of the first episodes I ever listened to. Good introduction to the podcast.
My idea for breaking up Blackrock and the other real estate behemoths is for the government to seize all the property they bought up and turn it into public housing. That way, you can claim it was a taking for public use and therefore you don’t owe any just compensation. Of course, no one running the government would ever sign on to that idea
y'all the $1 free shipping abolish the FBI hats are real....i'm gonna buy 5 https://secure.winred.com/perry-johnson-for-president-inc/storefront/abolish-the-fbi-white-structured-adjustable-hat/details
Got myself 2 Defund the FBI shirts. Thanks for the tip
Wow never expected a ray gun callout lmao. I was (sincerely) gifted a shirt of theirs that said “no coast” over a map of the US. I wasn’t embarrassed by that one when I wore it 10 years ago, but walking by their store now does psychic damage
Oh man. No voting until 25 but go ahead and join the military. Big brain energy. He's worried about kids and gender? Lets talk about the Kamasutra sir. What gender is Shiva sir? Is that how you want our boys dressed? Fiddling with their pinkies out? I don't think so. I WILL NOT BOW TO ALAH!
Ok so shortly after talk about the self promotion of political candidates like “the face of back white-supremacy” guy, y’all talk about about a “seat belt convincer” without mentioning Ralph Nader who I subjected myself to listening to this very fucking day on the daily Democracy Now podcast ending with promotion of his $5 Patreon-ass “Capitol” chain mail/newspaper. Unsafe at any speed? Anyone?
Ryan Moore, more like Ryan Bore!
Lol fuckin Nikki Haley got China confused with Israel on that Pegasus shit
If they fuck with social security I’ll start the riot
Well get your opening move ready. Either they will extend the age or cut it. Eventually it will be totally worthless. Cue BlackRock old and infirm insurance double mortgage, finally allowing the freedom to sell yourself into slavery.
yeah dude i might be from a south asian origin but im actually monotheistic christian, check this out: There Is One God But God, and Muhammad Is His Prophet ... wait hold on
mhh yes the 4 branches of the goverment: the Legislative, the Judicial, the Executive, and the Bonus Executive
"if you're wondering how it smells after all those years, it's not great. * the smell of the aged butter is a spectrum between parmesan and blue cheese * "think of your favorite aged cheese," Pratt told the Washington Post. "I try to reframe people's minds so they don't just think, 'rancid butter' Bullshit lady, it smells horrible.
could you guys imagine the iowa state fair in 1946. First one after ww2. wouldve been electric.
I’m the only bad bitch in the Chapo comments
The GOP reminds me of our neighborhood clubhouse we had growing up in the 1980’s, but even we had more coherent rules and objectives as to why we existed.
I'm pretty sure you could pull off a socialist presidency if you ran it through the Republican party. It seems like the party itself has almost no structured self governance, it is just directly manipulated by capital.
Running for president is the new side hustle
I'm in my 50s, so when they end social security, running for president will be my retirement plan.
Governor Burzum should’ve had Burzum playing on a portable speaker which would’ve got him more attention
i once shook his hand and he told me i was hardy while staring blankly past me.
Immediately purchased my abolish the FBI and I identify as nonBidenary hats at the Perry Johnson store, thanks boys.
Passed on the “W.O.K.E. keep kids off socialism” hat? I guess they can’t all be winners.
Moment of silence for all non-premium listeners who haven’t heard Felix in approximately 87 days
don’t forget how long he takes to get to those convoluted references
Matt’s pants are getting tight at the thought of buttering up some corn on the cob with a goddamn cow statue.
imagine a midwestern hentai where they ... nevermind
Who or what is a Dug Burg'em?
google doug burgum
just found out a bunch of friends of mine are ganging up to go see Barbie saturday night so the live better be good
Iowa=Idiots Out Walking Around
“Got any ce-ment around here?”
GOP 2024 platform: -Nuke Mexico -Abolish the FBI -Boys have a penis girls have a vagina -Shadow government bad
I don’t think they like thinking or talking about vaginas. It’s all about the peen over in the GOP. Taking them out, inspecting them, comparing them, patting your homie’s, even hacking them off! - the whole caboodle.
Matt over there acting like he doesn't have the same message on his vlogs as Marianne. We need more love!
We do though, it's true. Sometimes love must be both hard, kinetic, and tactical.
Well, well, well if it isn’t Mr. Coralville himself. Love seeing my local despot link up with the Chapo boys for a slopfest.
Burgum sounds like the name of a black metal band.
title is a sufjan stevens song
mn state fair betta
Listening to this on my way to my job at the county fair
There's nothing wrong with the way I say MAGA
I'm the only real communist here
these guys are supposed to know politics but can't even pronounce maga
You said it wrong it’s maga
Any dumbass talking about how nefarious Vanguard is doesn’t know what they’re talking about (See RFKJ)
What? They are bad though.
Can’t wait for Ramswamy’s fans being referred to as the ‘Viveksection’
27° fahrenheit Beer?
Celsius
y'all ever think about how the chapo guys never paid dj smokey for the theme song
Or El Chapo Guzman.
There’s my Chippy…
Oh thanks, boys. Now I feel all icky and rancid.
Great ep, I am seat belt convinced, love the boys
it's funny when they talked about marianne williamson, and chris mentioned seeing her live a few times, but it's funny that they can't talk about how they interviewed her anymore
Why can't they mention that?
I wish opium dens were still a thing.
The Adam episode is really funny
If anyone wants a free ticket to the Toronto show, DM me on twitter (@petejohnwilson). Can't make it and would like to hook someone up.
I would be interested if you could throw in an airline ticket, round trip, business class minimum and a Dove chocolate bar.
The last name of "Ramaswamy" makes me think of food poisoning and liquid diarrhea. You can practically smell the foul air and hear the liquid sounds. Also it makes me think of no air conditioning in a stifling restaurant. So I guess Indian food.
You did a no growth
Have you read the maga?
I tried, but I can't read right to left, left to right, up to down, or down to up
