2025 is off to an absolutely nightmarish start as the boys huddle around the microphones and try to process not only the ongoing historical LA wildfires that have destroyed over 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people, but also the horrific content they had originally planned: The domestic terrorist attacks that were committed on New Years Day in New Orleans and Las Vegas.  If that somehow wasn’t enough, they’ll also be discussing the recent fatal police shooting of the infamous “pizzagate” gunman.  

We cover it all in our first main episode of 2025: domestic terrorism, ecological disaster, and even war crimes. Our guest is Mike Prysner of the podcast Eyes Left, the documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom, and the QAA episodes on Tulsi Gabbard. 

Thanks for subscribing to QAA on patreon.

BOOM! JAKE SHAKE SHAKE THE ROOM!!! Yeah!!!

ploob

OMG Tulsi Gabbard

Algernon

So is Patreon just once a week now? There is no other posting now?

Grease Witherspoon

Beautiful opening monologue. Glad to hear from the LA boys!

Andy Kraushaar

Julien, that opening was outstanding.

Schwartz666

Glad the QAA boys are doing ok! Was getting worried when you hadn't called lately.. 😘🫡

Em

holy shit, did this guy say the cybertruck (like blade runner would've driven!) made him feel "like batman or halo"?! as in, "eh kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything"?!

C’mon

Oh man… thought I was first lmao!

bigphoton

I can't remember where I heard it, but, someone from a nation devastated by war once said it does a people good to taste their own ashes from time to time.

Nick D

Something about the Pizzagate conspiracy dude getting a second chance at life and to recognize he'd gone too far, just to die in a traffic stop shootout is really sad.

Grease Witherspoon

Lol, I'm not even in the same country as the fires and my office isn't back to work at normal speed yet.

Alex Anderson

Liv agar, a speedy recovery

Chloe Showalter

I think it’s also important to note that in order to enlist, you’re not allowed to be on meds or in therapy. You have to be off meds and out of therapy for a certain amount of months in order to enlist. I have a relative who was diagnosed and then discharged just shy of being being considered a veteran with benefits, so it really sucks.

Elia Ayoub

Not the main bit here but ISIS is not in control of Syria. Pls don’t spread tankie discourse. HTS is nowhere near my ideal group but they’re light years away from ISIS. I have Syrian friends who are radical leftists and who are now finally back in Syria after 14 years of exile working with or in opposition to the new government to push for progressive policies. It’s a very complicated situation

Patrick Mulchrone

Glad to hear QAA folks are okay and back home

Heather B

The Colorado Springs call out stings…. But it isn’t surprising. 😂

Justin R

Just explained this in the discord to some very upset recipients.

ysolla

As an Aussie who indirectly experienced the Black Summer fires (I certainly experienced the smoke firsthand) I've been thinking of everyone impacted by the LA fires. Stay safe boys!!

Jack Day

Touko

Liv Agarrr

Cory Waring

I’m sure whatever this country is presently doing to select soldiers is way darker then MK Ultra. The program may have a new fancy sounding name but I’m sure they didn’t stop with Timothy McVeigh.

Katie Marinello

We’ve been worried about you guys. Glad to have you back. 💜 Continue to stay safe.

Bonnot

It's wild the military uses "Black Hawk Down" the way my highschool used to use "Remember The Titans"

Ben Watson

Julian crushing ZYN???

Shivvy

wishing safety and security for you all *even* Travis and Liv Agar 🫡

Shivvy

Like Julian, I’m a furious at a variety of things! But I won’t take it out on Jake…for now

Jacob

she liv on my agar till I logan strain

James Cook

I hope you guys will have Seth Harp on when he book tour happens

Mikey H

Liv Agar!!!

kmd

My favorite part of the episode was when Julien said "Liv Agar"

Dixon Rivera

Trying not to sound so dramatic, but when I learn of these incidents of violence, and learn that a lot of it is being perpetuated by military veterans, it scares me. I’m a veteran. I deal with my own issues of depression and feeling worthless, but I don’t have any desire to hurt anyone. I guess I’m gonna have tokeep my veterans status a secret in town.

Sei B

Liv Agar :)

Ruth Kiszka

You can always flee to Vancouver and crash with liv

Ruth Kiszka

Imagine what kind of care you could get if you were an IDF veteran? They get all that top tier perks

DT_Johns

My partner served in the Army (medical, stationed in S. Korea during COVID). When he was back state side I went to stay with him for Memorial Day weekend in Yuma on base. It's empty, desolate, and he had to be on suicide watch for 18 years olds with absolutely nothing to do but play Call of Duty in stark barrack apartments. Practically no one around for miles. It's so surreal how little concern was shown for these young people

Patrick Hill

Coincidentally I started reading "Directorate S" by Steve Coll. It's gonna take me months to finish but I'm finally starting to dig into the GWOT stuff. I was a sophomore in HS in early 2000s many of my friends enlisted and I lost track of them after graduation. I'm at a place in life now that I can reflect on my formative years and read 800 page books to learn more about a war that spanned over half my life. Weird times.

Melissa Humbert

Yeah, your voices are a bit rough. I imagine voice coaches out there have been fielding a lot of panicked phone calls.

Isaac Suárez

Excellent episode- great work per usual!

CK1

Liv Agar

Spliffy

Good to hear your voices. Been worried about y'all.

buttface

18:32 Did Julian really say "dam-ning?"

hhhhhm

No they should have done extra episodes to take their minds off it! Slack!

hhhhhm

Good episode. Made me think of this book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/542700.Trauma_and_Recovery

Gene

Liv agar!!! Liv agar!!!!!

hhhhhm

Fantastic free documentary about Mutual Aid post Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and elsewhere if anyone is interested in seeing Mutual Aid in action 🖤❤️ https://sub.media/trouble-7-no-permission-needed/

hhhhhm

Also made me think of the film Mass (2021) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11389748/

Mac-something

Thank you both of you for pointing this out. HTS = ISIS is basically an assumption straight out of the old ‘War on Terror playbook. In the meantime let’s cross our fingers for people of Syria.

Anna M

Glad you guys are okay!

hamburglar

I agree they aren’t literally Isis but also I bet your excited friends are probably Sunni. Not everyone is feeling safe about this

Samantha Miller

I’m so glad you all are ok. Btw I had a split second of pure horror and devastation when Julian was halfway through the joke about Mel Gibson’s house, I thought Jake’s house burned down for real 😭

Jim

Green Beret with a Desert Eagle and a CyberTruck; what a wanker.

Stoic Tree

I’m so happy to hear from ye all, I was unexpectedly concerned!! Suddenly grateful for the incessant rain in Ireland…

boo

growing up in NC everyone called it Fayettenam

In reference to jakes comment about rotten . com era websites

Jason Harris

Is there an article anywhere detailing Mike’s story about the military commander who was fired for covering up suicides? Also, Liv Agar.

Erin Nettifee

Yo if there is any sort of fundraising for Mike R and his family please share (if he’s ok with it.) I was so sad to hear that he lost his home in the fires.

Elia Ayoub

Not only are they not all Sunnis but neither am I. It’s a ridiculous comment so please sit this one out.

Joe Wakefield

Glad someone pointed that out. There are enough bad Syria takes from the left as is

Ruth Kiszka

Don't worry guys the monsters in the IDF are going to be well taken care of. They have plenty of money to treat the modern day SS since America pays for the genocide

Grease Witherspoon

Shout out to ESL speakers who are more fluent in English than most native speakers, but unexpectedly half pronounce silent letters

Jose Chung

Deceiving title. Thought I’d be learning about Big Justice and AJ’s ties to the CCP.

Evan Nelson

I would love to see you guys bring back your attendance at these in-person conventions, like the TX one where I believe you had Will Sommer join you with Jordan Sather, or something like that back in 20/21. I would pay more for an entire series. Or being on short notice, be in DC on the 20th and just record everything, what you see, hear, protestors, etc.

Matty C

It happens so frequently I’m not even sure what/where he’s referring to, but here’s a notable case that in the Navy right now where a sailor in 2019 told his CO to his face that he wanted to commit, and his CO (to his sailors’ face) told him he thought he was bluffing. That CO was not punished and has since been promoted https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2021/09/30/how-a-military-jail-failed-to-protect-a-suicidal-sailor-from-himself/

buttface

I don't think that's how shout outs work and Julian isn't ESL

Cormac

If only we could ask Livelsberger what he thought of the fact that the war crime/ bombing he was highlighting happened at the peak of the Trump administration? Of course, we can't..

Karyn Cooper

Grew up in Fayetteville (the town surrounding Fort Liberty) and used to live with a special ops guy. The constant cloud of death and despair is very real, even as a civilian. It’s still palpable to me when I drive home to visit my family. Thank you to Mike for promoting ex-military anti war organizations. We need more of that.

RNG

Your guest made a point of military members not wanting to seek help based on the stigma of mental health. As someone with a top secret clearance with full lifecycle poly, I can attest to the fact that the LAST thing you want to do (once you have that level clearance) is talk to the government about mental health problems.

hhhhhm

Thanks pal! There's also a mask bloc in LA I see who are likely to have N95 masks if they're still up and running. Obviously double benefit now with the smoke https://maskbloc.org/#local-blocs

King Geedorah

Looking forward to the day Julian chills the fuck out.

Noblesse Oblahaj

Julian, if you keep telling jokes like this, I hope Travis doesn't have a dog

SM21

I'm curious if that's cuz you have seen it used to treat soldiers as more disposable?

Sarah

Hear you 🤍 do you have someone to talk to about depression and stuff

Jack Gude

I know we’re supposed to be sympathetic towards troops today but how do you fail to kill yourself 3 times? Don’t these guys have guns? Sounds like a teenage girl swallowing 12 advil and calling 6 friends and calling it an attempt. Like I’m sorry that you did something horrible and that’s super hard for you (let’s not think about the actual victims because they’re dead) but you could have just refused to do that.

Jack Gude

“No you don’t understand. There was no other way for me to make easy money while barely being able to graduate high school.” We don’t have a draft. You chose to take a job. You’re a dog-fucking parasite feeding on actual decent human being with a conscience that want to contribute to society and make the world better. Go work at Arby’s and play COD.

pq

liv agar

bakaneko420

ok but when I comment "liv agar" I imagine it being said with the same cadence liv agar says "liv agar" at the top of the episode

Austin Cook

Almost like people who are trying to kill themselves aren’t in a good state of mind or something.

James Payne

given the unchecked comments about AJ's 14yr old daughter every time she appears in a post, I wouldn't be surprised if there was something fishy going on

Jack Gude

Yup. That was exactly the point. You’re really good at reading

hdqf12@gmail.com

Thank you guys, I really needed to know you were still around kicking. May the deep dish bless you….

Robert de Niro in heat and I’m not apologising

One of the most interesting/scary types of military enlists is the guys who are already radicalied and join specifically to get training to do militia/terrorism stuff once they get out. Molly Conger's Weird Little Guys podcast introduced me to that type of guy, highly recommend.

Laura

A friend of mine died in a car crash when I was 16 (don't drink and drive, folks), and some of the kids threw cigarettes into the grave. It was oddly touching--modern grave goods, I guess. We're just like ancient people, really.

He didn’t accidentally go to the wrong Las Vegas. Las Vegas NM is on the way to Las Vegas NV, 250 mi from Co Springs.
