Undercover Bubble with Patrick Moore

In the inaugural episode of Season 2, I explain the reasons for my absence and return, as well as expectations for the show going forward. I shed light on the origins and successes of a multitude of shadowy conservative organizations and the culmination of their ultimate plan to destroy American democracy - Project 2025. The return of the Alex Jones award is also heralded by a newly-famous politician's rather unique way of bonding with his teenage son.

I detail the bubble's coverage of the Nashville school shooting, which seems disjointed at first but eventually focuses on a single "dangerous" scapegoat. I also deliver a special commentary on guns, the 2nd Amendment, and their place in American society, as well as offering possible solutions to the country's epidemic of gun violence.

I provide an overview of the Dominion lawsuit against Fox News, and what they are doing to try to distract their viewers from it. I also dive into Tucker Carlson's coverage of his "new" January 6th footage, finding that it isn't all he hyped it up to be. Finally, a rather strange take on a familiar song provides me with my first two-time Jonesie winner.

I detail the chaotic 15-vote congressional speakership race, as well as its coverage by Fox News and the implications of Kevin McCarthy's concessions to the MAGA caucus. I also briefly discuss the Biden documents case and the FTX fallout, and introduce a brand new children's book that turns up the heat in the upcoming GOP civil war.

I examine the drama involving Kanye West's anti-Semitism over the last couple of months, including his Alex Jones interview, as well as the bubble's reaction to it and what it implies for the conservative movement in general. Donald Trump also provides us with the easiest Jonesie I've ever given out.

I discuss the midterm election results in the context of Moore v. Harper, as well as the bubble's coverage of the midterms before, during, and after Election Day. I also share a campaign ad for a well-known Republican candidate that makes a rather odd--and scary--claim.

I examine the Arizona "poll watchers" and the attack on Paul Pelosi from the bubble's perspective, and the rising trend of normalization of political violence on the right. I also introduce the Tucker Carlson Formula for Political Gaslighting, as well as an alternate history novel that might be among the strangest and most offensive books any congressional candidate has ever written.

After a monthlong unplanned hiatus, I dive into the recent changes at CNN, both in terms of personnel and content, brought on by its new boss Chris Licht, and explain how the new direction the network is taking further legitimizes the bubble's narrative. I also share a political ad aimed at the young demographic - with hilariously cringey results.

I examine the contents of Mike Huckabee's "Kids Guide to President Trump" and take a look at his educational publishing company, finding that its content is not necessarily meant to be marketed to its target audience. I also detail a children's book written by a former Trump official whose premise can only be described as "Onion-esque."

I take a detailed look at Patriot Purge, the "documentary" on January 6th produced by Tucker Carlson, finding that he is using subliminal messaging to spread something far more sinister than a false narrative about the insurrection. I also find a trailer for a new Hunter Biden biopic that has the exact opposite effect of what it intended.

I examine the bubble's coverage of the search warrant conducted at Mar-A-Lago, finding that the right is using it as an excuse to go down a very dark path. I also discuss a Fox News anchor who is eerily obsessed with shoehorning something into his stories that definitely doesn't belong.

In the introductory episode of the new and improved Undercover Bubble, I define conservatism from an academic perspective and recap the history of conservative politics in the United States, from the 1700s to today, to discover how the far-right and the GOP became the way they are. I also attempt to dissect one of the wildest conspiracy theories ever conceived, courtesy of Alex Jones.
