    In this episode titled "John and Deuce Talk Politics" on the Brand X Podcast, hosts Deuce and John Jamingo delve into various political topics and share their opinions and observations. They discuss their presence on Discord, a platform they describe as a Facebook-like space without censorship, and encourage listeners to join their Discord server by using the invite link in the show notes. They also mention their availability on Twitter and through email. Throughout the episode, the hosts express their criticism of a certain individual for not taking a particular action, suggesting that this inaction has led to the current situation regarding the COVID jab. They argue that if an alternative treatment for the issue had been available, emergency use authorization for the jab wouldn't have been granted. They imply that the person they are discussing backed down and started promoting the jab instead, cautioning that negative consequences associated with the jab could be used against them. The hosts believe that there are hidden motivations behind the push to administer the jab to as many people as possible and share their distrust of Democrats and Communists. They also speculate about the physical capabilities of the current president, referencing incidents in Vietnam where he struggled with using a microphone and appeared disoriented on stage.

Amidst their political discussions, the hosts express their desire for a long and happy life for themselves, their children, and others. They mention Tim Scott and suggest that he should openly admit his homosexuality, asking to speak to his girlfriend in Canada. They praise Donald Trump for his accomplishments and assert that he was tricked into fast-tracking the COVID jab, suggesting that he could have promoted alternative treatments instead. In an unexpected tangent, the hosts share an anecdote about a situation involving eating a banana that did not belong to them, highlighting the importance of not taking what isn't theirs. They also delve into topics like the opening of the country's borders and the perception that the Democratic Party historically needs a permanent underdog, particularly the black population.
