The hosts of "the queue now," Mark Bland and Jason Cole, marked their show's 15th anniversary, with Bland announcing the retirement of his traditional intro for a more free-flowing approach. The main topic of discussion quickly became "Liberation Day," which coincided with the implementation of new tariffs by Donald Trump. The hosts expressed significant concern about the economic fallout, drawing parallels to the historically damaging Smoot-Hawley Act. They highlighted the negative reaction in the stock market and the potential for job losses in sectors like automaking. The tariffs were portrayed as illogical and harmful to US allies, potentially driving them towards alternative partnerships, such as with China.

The conversation also touched on Elon Musk's waning influence after an unsuccessful political investment and his reported upcoming departure from Trump's administration. A significant segment focused on Laura Loomer, who allegedly presented Trump with a list of disloyal government officials, leading to the firing of several individuals based on loyalty. The hosts deemed this a dangerous precedent.

The latter part of the show featured an interview with Dr. Julie Scott, the current vice president running for re-election to the Wentzville School Board. Dr. Scott advocated for the importance of local elections, the Propel proposition to fund schools, and a focus on students' needs over political agendas. She voiced her frustrations with the current board's functionality and discussed the negative campaigning she had experienced. Bland and Cole strongly endorsed Dr. Scott, encouraging listeners in the Wentzville district to vote for her. The hosts identified themselves as "Midwestern moderate liberals".

On this episode of The Qnow, Don Looney returns to the scene of the crime from his last show and the boys are too excited to see him.

First off the guys decide to discuss local web boards and the typr of people that are on them and how they should act. What should and shouldn't be posted as well as anything else that falls into the peripheral discussion, the guys tackle it.

Next up it seems Russia is be coming best friends with the United States. After a recent yelling match at the White House with Zalensky, Donald Trump kicked the Ukrainian crew out of the White House and they left without a peace deal on the table. This shocked the rest of the world as they started to pour in with their opinions regarding NATO and Ukraine and the United States. Meanwhile Trump decided to try and make English the official national language of America.... Because that is more important than people dying in war.

Finally Donald Trump decided to release the Epstein list. To do this he grabbed a bunch of social media influencers and flew them the Washington DC so that he could hand them big white binders with all of the pages redacted. Then they went out on TV like a WWE skit and pretended that they had gotten something important. But none of the influencers could hold back so they ended up posting all the stuff they got and everybody was completely disappointed. The guys finally talk about this. All this and much more on the newest episode of The Qnow.

First up, Mark Bland and Jasom Kull do a deep dive into Trumps latest decree of "Long Live the King". Trump seems to have forgotten that Washington and the forefathers specifically forbode there being a King because that is what caused all their issues in the first place. So why make the new place like the old place. So being a king was looked down on. But is it in 2025. There is a group of people so hell bent on being slaves to the rich that they are willing to cheer someone like Trump for these things. Mark warns everyone of the dangers of normalizing sensationalism as a joke or some thing of no real value. Eventually it becomes the norm.

Next up is the special guests of the show. Liam and Aimee Robertson join the show to discuss the White House and the Missouri government to go after Section 504 Protections in the USA. A Lawsuit originating in Texas targeted section 504 because of their own states vague language that they want to apply in a weird way to LGBTQ, and more specific Trans children. The reasoning is just as foreign originating idea that there needs to be a law for helping our disabled ever. This sets of Mark and Jason....and....LIAM!!! Liam is excited to be on the show and lets everyone know where he stands and how he feels about the entire Section 504 discussion.

Here’s a cleaned-up and polished version of your podcast episode summary:

On this episode of The QNow…

It turns out Elon Musk is actually the president—at least according to a surprising source: his own 5-year-old son, Little X. After overhearing private conversations between Musk and Donald Trump, the child reportedly strolled into the Oval Office and declared that Trump needs to "shush his mouth" because he is not the President of the United States.

Mark and Jason break down the implications of this unexpected revelation and how, as fathers, they recognize when kids are simply repeating what they hear at home.

Plus, the hosts revisit a key moment from Trump’s first term—when CNN and other major networks began cutting away from his press conferences as he spewed falsehoods and nonsense.

No matter where you stand politically, one thing is clear: Trump’s presidency has been a disaster, not just in the eyes of political analysts, world leaders, and everyday Americans—but even in the judgment of a 5-year-old. Meanwhile, Elon Musk remains glued to Trump’s side, despite not being the VP. That honor goes to JD Vance—who, let’s be honest, has become the biggest cuck in politics, while Musk steals the spotlight week after week.
