Dear fellow 5-eighters, in this episode we discuss a range of topics, including the recent ruling on abortion in Arizona, the influence of Leonard Leo in the Supreme Court, and the dangerous candidacy of RFK Jr. The conversation delves into the history of the Christian nationalist movement, the rise of QAnon, and the impact of conspiracy theories on current events. Special guest Sandi Bachom, a documentary filmmaker, joins the discussion to share insights from her film "True Believers at the Insurrection" and her experiences with QAnon followers. The episode also touches on the power of language in shaping narratives and the importance of speaking out against misinformation and dangerous ideologies.

Key takeaways:
The state Supreme Court in Arizona ruled that an 1864 law prohibiting abortion is now constitutional in the state.
The ruling highlights the misogyny and disdain for women that drives attacks on abortion rights.
The Republican-controlled legislature in Arizona shut down debate on the issue, demonstrating anti-democratic behavior.
Language surrounding abortion needs to shift to focus on the woman and her rights, rather than solely on the cells and embryos.
Shame has been used as a tool to control women and shame them away from discussing and advocating for their reproductive rights.
Leonard Leo, a key figure in the Federalist Society, is refusing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, highlighting the need for consequences for those who defy subpoenas.
Sandy Bakem, a documentary filmmaker, has created a film called "True Believers at the Insurrection" that sheds light on the events of January 6th, 2021.
RFK Jr. has embraced QAnon conspiracy theories, spreading misinformation about Bill Gates and 5G chips.
The QAnon movement has been a powerful and dangerous force, spreading false information and influencing political discourse.
