Yeah. We are recording this on a Friday. I gotta, I gotta like catch up. Yeah. We're at the finish line. Yeah. This is where I'm like, ah. Yeah.

Just take a big gulp of cold brew that I almost gag on. And then it's the weekend. Yeah. I'm drinking my regular big cup of coffee that I put a little bit of cold water in right right ahead of it so I can just really gulp it. Oh, I don't have to worry about sipping. You know, I can really get down on that shit. I feel like that's a dad hack, you know, like hot soup and then you put an ice cube in it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I remember being a kid and being so mad because I thought, well, the ice cubes are in there.

The temperature should go down immediately. Yeah. And then take a spoonful from the bottom of the bowl nowhere near the ice cube and just burn my mouth. And I'm like, what the hell? What the fuck? Getting mad at your soup. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah.

I mean, you know, still to this day, I get mad at soups. It's actually a problem. Something we've talked about before off mic. But I'm glad you're episode. When we were talking about best soups, we had to cut a lot out. Oh, my God. I damn near lost my shit. Yeah.

Some words that I've never heard you say before. And definitely some words I can't unsay either. And I appreciate you being a bigger man. Anyways, Tess, how are you doing? Where are you coming to us from? I'm in LA. I'm doing okay. I'm leaving town for like six weeks. I got a residency in Joshua Tree.

Amazing. Attempt writing a book in six weeks. So we'll see how that goes. I'm a little apprehensive. Thank you. I'm excited to get out there and just kind of be immersed in nothing. Tell the aliens I say hello. I will.

When you get out there. Do you know where you're staying? Yeah, I'm actually... Like the address. Yeah, like could you give us an exact address? I'll tell you the residency. I'm really excited about the residency. It's called the Joshua Tree Highland Arts Residency.

Okay, very cool. And they put up artists throughout the year to work on different projects. I got really into residencies in the past couple of years. So it's a place for artists, you know, to go and like work on their projects. So thrilled. So do you have a kernel or an inkling of what you're going to be writing?

Or do you like, or you just kind of see like where the experience takes you? I'm going to be working on a collection of creative non-fiction essays and my hope is that i've been writing so much on the internet for the past you know decade that i can like take some of the things that i've written and turn them into something literature yeah yeah yeah something in a book form okay Okay. There you go. I like that. I like that. Well, congratulations.

Good luck. Joshua Tree is a magical place and I'm excited for you. Thanks. Have you ever been to the Integratron? No, I haven't been to the Integratron. The energy up there is fucking crazy, man. I need to go. I stayed in Yucca Valley once really close to there.

And that's like, it's right next to the big rock where the aliens came. And there's like this like massive shootout in the cave underneath the big rock. I don't know, man. That desert is weird. Desert is weird. And it looks like it's on another planet. It's a great place. Everybody who's going to Southern California ought to make a pit stop for a couple days in Joshua Tree because you will feel like you're on another planet.

Especially the stillness, too. I heard that locals really don't want people to come in because they've hiked up all the housing prices. Oh, yeah. No, the pandemic, it completely changed that area, too, because you had a lot of people flee L.A. And they're like, wow, the housing market's way different. And yes, like anywhere. Yeah, yeah. Causing a lot of people flee la and they're like wow the housing market's way different and yes like anywhere yeah yeah causing a bit of tension i'm good with hawaiians telling me not to come to hawaii i'm not i don't i don't give a fuck about joshua tree and they all voted for trump they can go fuck themselves would be my guess i actually don't know but well that's what's wild it's an odd mix right because you do have communities a very like forward-thinking artist then you have your like legit like kind of riverside county

desert people san bernardino vibes that's the thing man it's a little bit of everything out there it's a little bit you go out there you see somebody you see a lot of trucks with trump flags let alone trump bumper stickers yeah i feel like we'll see how it goes. Look, the second you leave any major metropolitan. Don't scare me from going out there. Now I'm going to be like. No, you should be more afraid of aliens. Normies out there. And by normies, I mean really strange people looking for aliens.

But. Yeah, I'm down with that. I'm cool with that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, normal folk like us. Normal folks.

Yeah. Alien hunters. Exactly. We're going to get to us. Normal folks, yeah. Alien hunters. Exactly. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today. We are talking about one of the possible scenarios of why Trump was hanging on to them secret documents. We're going to continue to just check in with the vibes around the raid on Mar-a-Lago and just what it all means. All that, plenty more. But first, Taz, we'd like to ask our guest,

what is something from your search history? Okay, I was really excited for this question this week because I did a radical history timeline workshop for a community. And it's a workshop that I've done in the past. And I've been looking up, I've been basically going into the Los Angeles newspaper archives, looking up different words like Hindu and Indian and Haji, just to see what's out there. And I discovered that there is a, there was a, like a Syrian circus troupe from the turn of the century, or maybe, maybe it was like 1920s,

1930s. No, I think it was the 1900s. 1895. Yeah. 1895. There we go. I just did the search that you just put in the doc.

I'm not like independently familiar with it. I was like, yo, 1895. But look at that picture in there. It's like all these Arab circus folks. And this was a part of American history. We literally had Arab circus folks in, you know, 1908. Yeah. Yeah.

So it was like like, starting in the late 19th century into the early 20th century. Who is Bob Kerr? Right? It was probably some guy named Bob, but they were like, we need to name it, make it Arab-sounding, so we're gonna add him. And then, oh, just

in true, like, old-timey fashion, Bob Kerr's Arabs! Right? You'll see him! see them and like why has no one made a movie about this like i feel like like yeah they're called if you look at this article it's called the jaboor carnival and the circus company and then they called it like the oriental carnival like yo this is like a great movie right here yeah oh they actually just made that movie it's called uh what's that midnight alley but then they just recast it as all white people well what's the uh what's that fuck i'm not uh this joke failed on many levels

come on midnight alley nightmare alley was what i. Anyways, that was a movie that came out about the carnival, but it stars Bradley Cooper. Of course. Anyways. Ah, B. Cooper. This is dope. So you just kind of have access to the newspaper archive? Does everybody have access to that? Or is that like a subscription service? have access to it. I was, the archive I was looking up was,

I think it was UC Riverside's archive, which is accessible. And then I was also, I have access, I was a USC fellow this past year, so I have access to

USC's library right now. Oh, okay. I mean, that's pretty cool. I'm happy for you. It's cool. You know, even though I'm a Bruin,

but yes, I appreciate that for you. Listen, I'm also a Bruin. I'm just like an LA Bruin. Yeah, yeah. I know. Look, it's interchangeable.

Once you get popular, like you are, you can't stay the one Bruin. You gotta do both when you're like a local. For sure. All those rich parents spending money to get their kids into the school actually buys some really nice libraries. So that's, we got a lot of books a lot of nice libraries oh yeah oh and the and the fences around the

campus i mean you could barely hop those shits the finest no matter how desperate you might be what is something you think is overrated what is overrated yeah uh i know like your listeners are gonna hate this but i kind of want to say the marvel movies yeah i don't i don't think that's gonna necessarily ruffle feathers i'm furious right now but go ahead go ahead make your case okay i just watched ms marvel which i loved kamala khan you know, first Muslim superhero. It just came out. This narrative was so good. And I got curious. I was like, what is this? What is all these other Marvel references? So I have been binging Marvel from Iron Man. I made it through. I'm at WandaVision now. I've watched a lot of freaking Marvel things in the past, like, two months. I don't, it's like, it's also, like, a little bit too intense to watch that much Marvel movies in, like, a span of, like, two months.

Right. There's a lot of stories going on in my head. But, yeah, I think it's overrated. I think, I don't think, I think Ms. Marvel is great. I think some of the, like. Yeah, what are the standouts i like the guardian of the galaxy ones they're like so weird but like yeah really fun fun yeah i think that iron man one was kind of racist not kind of it was racist yeah it was they used like this taliban

version i thought it was like set within the war on terror like the war on terror we all we all get it we like the war on terror right everyone and this guy's like kind of like these guys are in caves right so like steve jobs cool right terrorism bad so that's what we got here that's that's where we're working from and it was really wild to go from watching ms marvel which has a very like pro-muslim storyline to go into iron Man, which was very anti-Muslim. I was like, how is this the origin of this? And then I thought it became more female characters as we moved along. But the first phase definitely didn't have strong female characters.

I don't know. I have a lot of things to say about this because this is all I've been watching for two months. to say about this because this is all i've been watching for like two months how did you did you purely just out of like curiosity you're like okay let me just see the totality of it all of this cinematic universe yeah because i was very anti superhero movies because they were all white cast usually and i knew that they would always cast people of color as like nemesis and villains and i was like i don't want a part of that so then i started watching the marvel series with black panther and shang chi and then marvel i was like hey these aren't that bad these are pretty good like maybe it can't it can't be that i was right all along those were bad you're like oh the earlier stuff yeah yeah yeah this

albums will hit different now i feel like prepared to talk about it now i can talk about it yeah like the usually people come on they're like marvel movies i don't know superheroes whatever like that's the that's the depth of the research that they've put in and you're like i've literally watched every single one of these movies i've watched all of them i am binging it for the i mean i also don't have a day job right now so i feel like this is like a good use of my time it's i barely i've seen like a fraction of them kind of for the same reason i'm just sort of like i only really like very specific superheroes sometimes so i'm like okay if it's not that i'm not really interested

and it's funny because that like avenger series just became so ubiquitous in like popular culture that like you had to know certain things that were referenced from the avengers films that i have seen the thanos snap scene like memed in like 600 different ways oh yeah yeah yeah and have no context yeah yeah but i but i mean I knew what it was, but I've seen like this scene where people just be like, okay, this person, okay, so Captain America is this basketball team. And then this is the GM. And then these are all the players that they got rid of over one summer.

And I'm like, oh, oh, oh, okay. But other than that, no emotional depth or context to any of it. I'm like, okay, I'll see what happened there. It sounded like you had a crush on a superhero, by the way, Miles. You were like, I just like a certain superhero some of the time. I don't know if you know them, but like, does Logan have a crush on me?

Oh, yeah, X-Men. I'm just all, I'm completely, I've been X-Men'd out of my mind. Have you guys watched the Ms. Marvel series yet? No, I haven't seen any of the, anything from the Disney Plus. Highly recommend it. I heard it ended kind of

Copaganda-ish. It did end a bit Copaganda-ish. Copaganda-ish. Yeah. I mean, you can't really be a Marvel movie without it being Copaganda, though. Yeah. Right. Unlike the rest of the Marvel movie. It's like, this fall to disney plus lady a cab and then like there's like a lot of hate from the muslim community because they don't like the jinn narrative and jinns are in islam are like

this fourth being i don't know i thought i think it was just like really interesting to contrast that with like the thor narrative which i don't really understand where Thor came from. Cause Thor is not a superhero. Thor is a mythical, like God. And then all of a sudden they threw that in. I don't know all of this. Like it definitely does not make a lot of sense to me.

And I watched them all. So right. It's a, it's a Rorschach. The Tom Holland spider spiders, man. I haven't watched those yet. I guess those aren't necessarily Marvel, right there. I haven't watched those yet.

I guess those aren't necessarily Marvel, right? Or they are. Well, they are, yeah. They are. It's more about the Sony and Fox. Right, bringing the Sony, bringing it all back together. But yeah, I don't know, man. I used to be able to get on board. I really enjoyed the first Avengers.

When they brought them all together, I thought they did a good job. I really liked the Guardians of the Galaxy, but like I watched that most recent Spider-Man where like they all come, they all like mash all the Spider-Men up. And the most recent, I'm more of a fan of multiverses and the Multiverse of Madness

and the latest Spider-Man were both like, they just felt very flat. all the all the criticisms that like people level at those movies it's just like i feel like i'm watching a tv show kind of yeah on on a big screen and then at comic con they announced that they were gonna you know they have this marvel universe planned for like the next like decade it's just like i don't know how you're gonna keep up with all these characters right it'll it'll dwindle and then they're gonna realize that they they should have invested in original ideas in the long run because right you know like we're looking at these other films that come out and like things that are like everything everywhere all at once it was like this is one of the best

things i've ever seen that was so good it does feel like every everything else is dwindling and marvel movies continue to be the like just so successful it's crazy like that so much money that last doctor strange movie is like one of the most successful movies of the past couple years and man it is pretty uh it's pretty like there's just all it's like some cool things strung together with a lot of just like portals and like you know cgi electricity and all the shit that i'm just like this is if you just asked me to like daydream a marvel movie this is like what i would come up with like it doesn't feel that inspired i'm i'm not there yet i i'm on wandavision right now oh well you have a lot to look forward to what is something uh you think is underrated

i i had a protest sign ripped up this weekend oh yeah i saw you post a clip of some real angry person snack was that an angry uncle yeah yeah yeah I didn't end up going to the protest. So there is a rise. Like in America, where we are experiencing a rise in fascism, India is also experiencing a rise in fascism. And their attacks there are against the Muslim community. So a bunch of us created, in the L.A. South Asian community, we created protest signs. And we were going to do a very Gandhi-like

silent walk through India Independence Day event to highlight the atrocities that are happening. And we got attacked. And then no one liked my tweet about it. It's not getting the kind of attention we want to get. And I think that's a little very upsetting to me. I mean, generally, like fascism in India is upsetting. But I think the fact that people in California and Southern California, where we are allegedly very progressive on these issues, that there are uncles that are attacking young people holding protest signs. Yeah. Some things, like, people do not, like, you bring old prejudices with you. Yeah. To a new place, which is very common, I think, with, like, diasporic communities, you know. And, yeah, like, watching, like, you know, just seeing how things are playing out with India, like, of, like, bulldozing people's property. because they're saying they're like anti-government protesters but if you're muslim then you're almost

guaranteed to have your shit bulldozed while other like it's almost like targeting very specific anti-government protesters you know what's so wild about that is the in new jersey the india independence day event they rolled out a bulldozer and put like modi's face on the bulldozer to kind of like you know show their power which is wild that they're like this bulldozers turned into a symbol of you know oppression yeah 100 and like a physical monstrosity that has the power to disappear your you know the vanquished your enemy yeah and a very i mean yeah it's it's wild how things play out in a very similar way across the world yeah but yeah like it seems very just out in the open there like they're it's it's like part of the national like domestic policy now

yeah i mean modi was banned from the u.s for a decade when obama was off in office modi tried to come here and he wasn't approved. But after Modi became the prime minister of India, the U.S. had to let him back into the U.S. And it was because Modi was involved with this program that was happening in his state of Ahmedabad where Muslims were attacked and killed in this like ridiculous, you know, genocide. Right. Yeah. this like ridiculous you know genocide right yeah so there was a woman that was raped and her child was murdered and there were 11 men that were arrested from that event in 2002 the the men were just released from prison so 2002 that's what 20 years and uh they were like welcomed with sweets and that i mean this is what all these articles are saying that

these all these articles are saying that he was, like, welcomed with the people that were in jail were welcomed and, like, you know, heralded in the community. And it's just awful to see this kind of, like, turn of events in such a rapid decay of, like, 20 years. I hope that makes sense. Yeah, it absolutely makes sense. I mean, the worldwide move towards

fascism is i i was on my uh time off i was you know reading and like listening to stuff about that and i i read a good point that like fascism is basically what capitalism does when when capitalism fails and the common sense next move would be like a depression if they hadn't just like put artificial things in to kind of prop up the system and now now the logical thing is like a leftward movement and socialism and like a move towards socialism and the way that capitalism always responds to that is with fascism. And that's, that's just what we're seeing.

Well, yeah. Cause that the message of it is don't fucking share. Yeah. Capitalism. Right. So when that system fails, they're not going to fucking be like,

Oh man, maybe we need to share it to get out of this one. It's now going to be like, well, I ain't sharing. And guess what? To make sure I don't have to share. That means these people got to be the fucking enemy.

Yeah. And now we got to fuck it. That's the reason why you don't have to share that means these people got to be the fucking enemy yeah and now we got to fuck it that's the reason why you don't have shit and it the same fucking pattern plays out constantly but i don't know yeah it's it's it's hard to to figure out at what point you know the the message becomes a little bit clear it seems like with younger people and more and more because they are experienced a lack a little more vividly than older people are like yeah yeah i don't see how that helps me at all right you look at who's in power and it's nobody with the idea of sharing anything but i also feel like young people are also getting the right wing messaging of media too oh yeah i think i think like you know 20 years ago we didn't have like people learning politics on tiktok and now we have people learning very things that should

they should be spending more time than like a 30 second tiktok learning learning yeah there was a post about like a teacher talking about like uh are y'all seeing kids like quote this guy andrew tate oh no huge on tiktok and he's this ridiculous misogynist fucking tool bag guy who's just like here's the thing about women you know like everything's like that and like you have middle school kids saying stuff like oh women should be doing this men should be doing this that's women's work and it's just very casual because you're on tiktok and if you're like i like these three things you know an algorithm very quickly it's like well a lot of people are fucking with this dude who's telling all kinds of weird incel myths to kids yeah and it's wild too like how you know in earlier

times our access to that kind of shit wasn't as easy like you had to know people and it was put in front of you because the only shit i was getting socialized by was like mtv and bet right whereas now it's like you got that and your fucking doom device which can either put you on a path to something good or maybe informational or just completely be like okay man you're gonna get fucking talk pilled real quick yeah we're not gonna just be able to sit back and be like well the, man, you're going to get fucking talk-pilled real quick. Yeah, we're not going to just be able to sit back and be like, well, the younger generation gets it, so they'll move past.

The younger generation is going to have more sophisticated fascism. That's why you will see Daily Zeitgeist on Roblox. You know what I mean? We've got to go to where the kids are at and let them know. You don't want to be no fascist, y'all. Oh my god. I'm serious. We might have to meet the kids. If they're hearing Andrew Tate, I'd be like, yo, you don't want to be no fascist, y'all. Oh my God. I'm serious.

We might have to go. We might have to meet the kids. If they're hearing Aaron and Tate, I'd be like, yo, you 12? I got some, I got advice for you, young homie. Does that mean we have to start TikToks? Do we have to start TikToks now? I just don't want to. Yeah.

It's funny how some people have Adam Conover from Adam Ruins Everything. He's totally doing well on TikTokiktok because he's like oh good his whole vibe is like hey i speak quick i speak concisely and i'm saying something good and you know he's not out here being like females right think this way because they've been programmed to believe like oh shit i'm glad adam's doing well on tiktok that gives me a little hope a lot of people do yeah hey I've been programmed to believe like, oh, shit. No, man. I'm glad Adam's doing well on TikTok. That gives me a little hope. A lot of people do.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have

changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session.

24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and in terms of like the content like nobody knows exactly why trump had the documents that he had but there's like a lot of smoke suggesting that it's this one thing and like the mainstream media doesn't really cover it that much like there was this there's this maggie haberman piece at the end of last week that like completely downplays the sinister implication of this president in particular having nuclear secrets at his house like instead it frames it all as just like you know this guy doesn't know what he's doing he's a goof like it's like it's like a like the genre of reality is like a like screwball con like king ralph where like the guy is just like i'm just an ordinary guy who's now president what are you

gonna do and it also like I can read a Maggie Haberman article and be like I could see how someone would read this and be like root for Trump because he's like struggling against this like Byzantine bureaucracy and he's just she just really humanizes Well, that's the trade-off with her. Right. She gets the proximity in the quotes because she's never going to go full objective reality on him with it. Yeah. You know?

Yeah. And so it's like it's a double-edged sword. It's like, okay, well, yeah, you're getting a lot of scoops, but you're also going to be like, I mean, what is, you know, it could have just been a big goof-up for right now, a big goof them up. But so there are plenty of scenarios that would be pretty terrifying that aren't getting a ton of attention. But I think the Saudi connection is probably the scariest, like Saudi Arabia having nuclear weapons is pretty scary for a number of reasons. And it does seem like it's it would be the place to look right like that. So some things that I think we've alluded to, but it's probably worth having in one place. Jared Kushner recently got, so he, Kushner always was pressing hard for pro-Saudi policies and, you know, pushing really hard for MBS, even when it was wildly unpopular, even like

in the immediate aftermath of the Khashoggi murder and like super unclear how it benefited the U.S., like the policies he was pushing for we never really learned why he couldn't get security clearance well jerry kushner recently like in the last six months got a two billion dollar investment from basically mbs himself like that it's that transparent the board of mbs's 62020 billion public investment fund issued a bunch. Well, so the board like did an investigation into Jared Kushner's like fake company and they were like, we definitely shouldn't invest in them. It's not a company. Yeah, it's not a company. The quote unquote management is wildly inexperienced. This would represent most of the money that this

company has. It's just basically a front for us to give them money. And our due diligence revealed this company to be unsatisfactory in all aspects. Wait, so that was Khashogogi's board that was saying this about no sorry mbs's board mbs's board mbs's board was saying this about kushner's company who was kushner's company's like hey could you invest some money in this company i just made up at the beginning of this sentence i just literally just thought of it. Could you give me $2 billion? And so MBS is bored. You know, the people who are professionals

who look into this sort of thing, we're like, this is not a company. They're inexperienced. They are unsatisfactory in all aspects that a company is supposed to be at the very least satisfactory at if you're going to invest any money in it, let alone $2 billion. They're charging us like made up huge fees without explanation. And two days after the board put this report together, MBS was like, yeah, here's $2 billion. Just gave them $2 billion. So nobody's like even trying to explain any of it. It's just. Yeah.

The Saudis, which is essentially like a crime family, like at this stage. Like, I mean, we saw how they deal with people who are critical of them are just like funneling money to Trump's family without explanation and funneling two billion dollars and they are in the market for nuclear secrets and that is what we found at trump's that's what the fbi found at trump's place right like it's it's not a connection you could have seen it from even before we've known for a while that muhammad bin salman and jared kushner have been talking for ages you know like they've always they've had each other's backs like the 666 fifth avenue building that needed money if you remember his dad went to the people of qatar he was like hey man let me get some money for this and when that

didn't follow through there was a fucking blockade right from saudi Arabia yeah yeah and and then Jared Kushner's like damn that's wild man I might be able to talk to them right and then they get then the fund then they're then that building is funded it's really I mean it's it's been so out in the open from the beginning and like so at that time you're like well what's the tat we see the tit but what are they getting back and we aren't I mean you can obviously tell in certain aspects the US just look the other way it's like oh

human rights violations and war crimes in Yemen yeah man whatever well I mean the US also is you know a huge it's not just the US looking the other way with the human rights violations in Yemen the US is like giving here's the weapons for to do war crimes in yemen like it's it's truly just like fucking vile evil crimes against humanity that the u.s is just i mean the u.s has always been willing and including

the mainstream media has always been willing to be like 9-11 was you know i mean we're not gonna like say any one nation's name in relation to the country where all the hijackers came from we are gonna allow you to go to war with iraq and kill millions of people over it but we're not gonna let you say saudi arab, even though that's where most of the hijackers came from. We're not going to allow that because that's painting with too broad a brush. It's, yeah. But like the Trump shit is just straight up crap.

It's just one crime family doing deals with another crime family. And, you know, back in 2019, House Democrats found out they were already trying to do this shit. A report from House Democrats revealed disturbing new details about a secretive effort by top Trump administration officials to sell sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. that we missed because it was just flooded out by other zone flooding shit you know like the the stuff that bannon was just like yeah flood the zone with shit nobody will have time to pay attention to any of this but it's really a bad it makes the world bad in a way that is almost incalculable for Saudi Arabia to have nuclear weapons. Wait, so we're assuming that Saudi Arabia doesn't have nuclear weapons?

No. Yeah, they don't. They're working on it. So this is. I just kind of assume Saudi did have nuclear weapons. I'm sure like they don't have a program they don't have like an official like they they're not a nuclear power essentially publicly and yes they're always like look we don't have wmds we would love them though right right it's kind of like what the vibe like this the sort of stance is so you always know it's like you know who you know who you know who would want if you want to fence those nuclear documents if there there's a willing buyer somewhere but you know i think it's again it's just wild to see that this is all just part of how the american political system just manifested at a certain point where it's like yep it's it's

the thing is so fucking rotten eventually you're just gonna get someone in there who's like yeah man you want to buy this shit i don't give a fuck i really don't care about anything but myself and if the fucking world ends who gives a shit like right i don't my world's not gonna end but a lot of you guys yeah but it's like we talk about with like climate and stuff like that it's like yeah it's not gonna it's not gonna kill billionaires billionaires are gonna be able to get away from it for the most part like it's gonna it's just gonna make life unlivable for the vast majority of the planet and then they'll yeah you know have their arc or whatever but it's also like i i remember this at this point just seeing a headline that like apple was no longer the world's most valuable company. And it was Saudi Aramco who had taken over.

And that was earlier this year. So it's just like, they're so well... That's the reason that the headlines aren't out there. That everybody's not up in arms and being like, basically this crime family now is going to turn themselves into nuclear power because of just playing Trump like a fiddle. But you can't talk shit about Saudi Arabia in the mainstream media, essentially. What happened to the Trump Russian connection, though? How does that fit into this? I think anybody can manipulate him because he's a pathological narcissist.

Well, I think the things of value that, again, like when you look at the documents and what thing what what would be valuable to what despotic state is, you know, they're they talked about potentially if there were things that were talking about who what kind of sources they had in Russia, like intelligence sources. That's probably pretty valuable to the Russians for like a counter espionage thing. They're like, yeah, make. Oh, that's right. Thank you. Who's on the CIA's payroll over here? You have that on a list. How much you want for that?

That's true yeah you know so there's always that's why like it's so hard to know what what potential like fucking threat is is going to come about from all of this and to whom but you know there's there's plenty there's plenty there to think of like oh well when you put together the things like trump always wanted to keep certain documents jared kushner asked for more classified documents than like most people remembered from like the intelligence community like someone with that like we've never had somebody ask for more and more stuff than him yeah and then eventually he lost his clearance because they're like dude this guy's fucking not above like we can't trust anything about him so there's so much there to just see like man you it could be fucking anything you know what i mean

it's like at this point i believe that trump's like we have this alien technology So there's so much there to just see like, man, it could be fucking anything. You know what I mean? It's like at this point, I believe that Trump's like, we have this alien technology that I just shared with them. They're a really cool ship or like whatever. And I'm like that shit that might be possible, too. I don't fucking know. Historically, the so there's this Vice article about this. And they were pointing out like historically, the consequences stealing nuclear secrets in america are pretty dire early trump lawyer and mentor roy cone made his career by prosecuting julius and ethel rosenberg who you may have heard of for uh they were convicted of stealing nuclear secrets and passing them to the soviet union cone won that case and the rosenbergs were executed in the electric chair

so that like i that that's why my like instinct is that it's probably saudi arabia because he would probably the u.s would let him get away with that because that that's the sort of country that the u.s is okay with you sliding nuclear secrets to, as opposed to Russia. Russia, they don't fuck around with. Could you imagine if it's Russia? If it's Russia, you're still just like, hey, I did it, my boy Vladimir. I don't know, man.

They're also pretty good on the nukes, right? Pick a dark timeline, you know. Right. Just roll the dice and we'll see where we end up in a couple months. Yeah. Alright, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And it's just i love the exasperation in your voice it's just it's well there there's a new like level they've reached a new frequency of like panic and dissonance like cognitive dissonance and like tucker carlson is like laughing at a new frequency that i've not heard a human laugh at before like it's all it's all just a a weird kind of surreal like tim and eric sketch yeah at this point yeah and at this point spaghet might as well be trump's fucking lawyer in court because that's about as effective as his legal team is at the moment so last thursday was an interesting moment in the courts over the mar-a-lago raid search warrant affidavit they're like everyone's

been like unseal the affidavit so we can see what was so bad that we that they had to raid the former president's house everybody's been saying this especially in trump world that's like trump's tactic right now you gotta unseal it and i don't know i won't get in the way and we're like oh okay uh at this at this hearing on thursday the feds argued that it would be a fucking disaster to unseal this shit because it's still an ongoing investigation we don't need to expose any like methods of our like investigative tactics informants that we may have or also just in general to have that out there put a chill on any potential witnesses or witnesses they already do have uh that are agreeing to cooperate so they're like yeah that that won't help fucking anybody

and the judge was like okay okay i see that oh how about this you come back next thursday bring your homework with all your redactions we'll go through the redaction why we want to redact this and then we'll take it from there and then maybe we'll release that version the trump lawyers were there and did they get in there and start tearing the fucking walls down because this needs to be unsealed and the people need to know the truth nope they did fuck all because his insurance lawyer christina bob from newsmax or wherever the fuck she came from was in court and according to onlookers and court observers they described her as quote just sat and watched no motions filed no arguments made just sat there and she was like yeah i'm just here to see what

see how it plays out it's like you're the fucking lawyer representing him you're not gonna file anything you got nothing to say about this because you like again is it uchi wali or is it one mic because before you were like unseal everything and now you're over here mom so she said nothing in court but then goes on laura ingram's show and laura ingram was especially confused by what she did or did not do in the court to the point where she was like lightly asking she's like hey mom um do you know like what the fuck you're actually doing like at all do you like in court uh and so this is this interaction where laura ingram is thoroughly fucking confused by her lack of any action very interesting and somewhat encouraging that you had parties from both sides of the aisle of course liberal media

outlets coupled with a conservative watchdog group really together on the same side and so we were curious to see how that played out. Of course, you know, reserving our rights to try something else in the future if we want to, but we really just chose to see how it would play out. Well, I understand that you chose to do that, but I'm wondering, are you not concerned that because you didn't join any of these motions for, again, the full release of this affidavit,

that you're then waiving possible objections to the way redactions are being done by the Justice Department later on. You didn't speak in court today, nor did you join any of these motions. They're going to redact all this stuff. And I'm not sure what grounds you're going to have at this point, having waived your right to file those motions. I like how Laura Ingram's playing lawyer coach here right now. Right. Totally.

Fully like, are you sure? Wait, what did she say to that? I'm genuinely curious. Is she like, what was that last thing though, that you said though? She's going to go on, because Christina Bob's like, oh, that I would, can't reserve that my right to possible objections. So here's Christina Bob's answer to that question from Maureen Grimm.

Well, we would maintain that we haven't waived our right and that that still is maintained. You know, we need to wait and see. I can't be certain at this point because we haven't seen the affidavit. And we certainly haven't seen the affidavit. We certainly haven't seen the redactions and how it's going to play out. But we'll be making that decision as it comes out. We got to see it. We haven't seen it. It has been under seal.

So I don't know. We can't say. Okay. That was – she did 20 seconds. I've never seen somebody extend I don't know into a 20 second run. I don't think we have waved the right. You can't Michael Scott your way through a fucking trial like,

I believe I never waved that right. Therefore, they're like, okay. And also, you know, the affidavit could come out. We'll see what the affidavit. It could be redacted. Maybe it's not redacted. I don't know. We'll see what happens. The whole bottom line is we got to see the affidavit. What is an affidavit even? You know what see what the affidavit it could be redacted maybe it's not redacted i don't know we'll see what happens the whole bottom line is we got to see the affidavit then we can what is an affidavit but like you know what i mean is it before david or is this an affidavit mint is this an after dinner i don't know anyway i'll let it say laura i don't know

like what so a lot of people are a little bit like oh this is fucking weird i mean i think laura ingram she's like you know we want the whole thing out there because maybe we can really see all the fbi agents names then we can see maybe who the fucking informant is and we can do a lot of weird wacky shit with that information even though all the charges may completely be something very hard to spin even though they do their best but this is very much like january 6th right they have they have no real legal arguments so they're out there being like release the kraken we will file all these lawsuits in court to dispute these fake fucking these democrat fraud votes and shit but then when they get to court right

smoke free yes yeah they know their arguments will get them disbarred. You know, like people like Sidney Powell and Rudy, they're like, bro, you came in here on some absolute nonsense and argued that in court. Bannon was like, get ready for the trial of the century. I'm going to bring fire and... Yes, Your Honor.

I'm sorry. No, no. Yes. All right. The defense is asleep. Thank you so much, My Honor. I'm sorry. No, no. Yes. All right. The defense. The defense is asleep. Thank you so much, my honor. Just let's just get to the. We don't just rest. We are in a coma.

Yeah. So they keep they keep their mouth shut. And luckily for them, they can go on TV and be like, we have we need transparency because the base knows really not a lot about legal procedure. If they did, they probably would have heard that Christina and Bob did nothing. And they're like, well, what is there a legal story? What does that mean?

Because they're, they're like, like the base is like me when I was eight years old, like they'll believe anything a lawyer says on TV, much the way it's a teenager told me shit when I was eight years old. I'm like, that's truth. That's true.

That kid is 14. And he told me this terrible lie but that is the truth like it's just sort of the same no analysis no critical thought just like yeah that's great because it's and now they get to play the fucking part of they're hiding something we need the truth it's all very vile and despicable we all say it's fetch that's that's actually what we say is cool a 14 year old told me that they, like, a thing that is cool to say is, like, we say, this shirt is fetch. And he wouldn't lie to me because he's my best friend. Right.

Exactly. That's what they said in Clueless or Mean Girl. Mean Girls. Mean Girls. Yeah. Oh, okay. Why did she agree to be on the show, though? Like, if she wasn't...

That's like a career path. That's like the playbook, is you get a job with Trump, and then you go on Newsmax and Fox News, get a little FaceTime, that elevates your, like, follower count, and then you just grit full-time. It's not about what comes out of your mouth. No, not at all.

It's just about getting that face time on the show. Once you get in and you have that, like, you've been anointed as Trump adjacent or like worked with Trump, you could grift off that shit for the next six years. So many people are doing that. You go to all these weird fucking CPAC events and shit. Yeah, exactly. And it's more nonsense, no policy. And like, let's just bring in christofascism but on newsmax though there is something that is kind of funny which kind of goes along with how ill-informed

and just kind of like not professional fucking everyone is on newsmax like the anchors and even trump's other lawyer can't get the judge's fucking name right. The federal judge in this in this hearing, his name is Lance Reinhart. Dope name. What do you think they're calling him? Where do you think it stands? And by the way, what do you think about having Judge Reinhold overseeing this? I'm sorry. Who?

Judge Reinhold? Wait. The 80s? One more time. As far as Judge Reinhold, I still have this burning question as to. OK, OK. Maybe one more time journeys um as far as judge reinhold i still have this burning question as to okay okay maybe one more maybe someone else would get it right on newsmax that person was in that affidavit which you stated did go to judge reinhold here in south florida everybody's stuck in the fucking 80s man judge reinhold the actor from fast times who jerks off to phoebe kate yes or beverly hills cop or judge reinhold

if you remember from arrested development that was like a whole pun about judge reinhold and like it was like whatever the fuck so it's it's just his own lawyers don't even know the name like they're they're getting mixed up with a guy an 80s actor right that's awesome so you know that's what i'm saying like part of me is like damn this shit is bad but i just i'm like now where does it all lead because at the end of the day that search warrant and all that raid doesn't mean indictments are coming down in three seconds or anything like that i mean if we saw anything from many other investigations that have played out since the trump administration it takes a long time to get to that next point

so who knows what happens in that space between we don't know but yeah we don't know but we will learn more when they unseal the affidavit right or before david or after david i forget bd ad after david after dav. That's what they're probably going to say, the after David. They're like, they need to release the after David. The thing is, this is also a bad move because I have a feeling if they redact certain things, there may be enough still for this to look worse. And the bottom line is the Trump lawyers are maybe like, please don't unseal that shit. Well, that's what I think that's what Laura Ingraham was saying is like, if you just let them do that and you haven't like voiced any like opposition, I don't know the legal shit. But like, it seems like she's saying, like, you need to get in there and say, like, you object now so that it's not just like released without.

I think I think we've still reserved our right, actually. What? How? Because I did. Check my open table apps. You didn't say a damn... I just control F-A the whole transcript. You are not...

Control F-A. You don't appear on the whole damn thing. Yeah. Yeah, so it's a hard hand to play, You don't appear on the whole damn thing. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a hard hand to play. But again, this is why, you know, Trump doesn't have fucking lawyers right now. And he has somebody who's just like, yeah, I'm just here to check it out. Just here for the vibes in the courtroom.

Yeah. So wait, what's the next step then? What is going to happen now? Thursday. Where are we at? This Thursday, the feds will come back with the redactions that they're like, these are the things we just, okay, show them everything but this shit that we redacted. We're fine with that, but fucking nothing else.

And then the judge will, you know, thumbs up or down that. And so it may be out in the public as early as Thursday, in which case we'll probably get another round of like, the thing is, my dad, he sold it to better America, those nuclear secrets. You know, he's going to bring it down from the inside.

Did you see Donald Trump Jr.? I did not see that. I mean, I've seen him high before, but this was truly next level. It warms my heart. You know what? Just for good measure, let's just hear old Donnie swing for the fences with his very

fashion plea. I'm just going to cut to a random spot in it. You know why? Look how high he is. They're there to intimidate you. Look at his eyes. His eyes are like closed. We've been seeing them be for the last few years, folks.

And for all the Democrat talk about Republicans being fascist. Does he have Invisaligns in or are those like veneers? I think he got veneers. He got new teeth and his eyes. He's got that like lisp. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He's got the fake teeth. But you can't fake those eyes. That only comes with. Yeah, fake those eyes. He's got that lisp. Yeah. He's got the fake teeth

but you can't fake those eyes. That only comes with just a sandbox of cocaine. You couldn't even use the shit from the Clockwork Orange Ludovico shit to keep your eyelids open. He would still be like his eyes would still turn to

little pinholes. And he thought that was okay to do. Fascinating. When you're used to talking to a... It's like a stand-up who has a really charitable audience. And they're just so fucked up with their fans. And they're like, yeah, it's great.

And someone who's not a fan is like, yo, this is a tragedy, folks. This dude is dying up there. They're like, he's great, man. He's on fire tonight. Literally. Someone put him out caught fire up there don caught fire up there don in that video i could almost see him lift his sleeve into frame just right in flames like ah shit right his hands on fire it's like how did you catch fire, my man? That one video of him

and Kimberly Guilfoyle, like, backstage while Gloria is playing, Trump is watching the January 6th, like, mob attack. Mob, like, start to, like, you know, attack the Capitol building. And she's, like,

dancing, just, like, just out, just flying so high it's crazy that's crazy i think i'm just hating man because i'll never be that happy i know they're they're really like on on a higher plane of existence yeah it's called white fascism and cocaine yeah do we think it's cocaine or do we think it's amphetamines because amphetamines are i think a strong outside option because that's what his dad's on that is what fueled hitler's rise so it like amphetamines and fascism have always gone together hand in hand but he he has real cokie vibes like don trump jr like i feel like he's well i feel like you grew up in New York as a rich kid.

They could probably make fun of you. You're doing greenies, bro? Really? A Fedrin fool? They're like, I just did coke off of my dad's copy of the Declaration of Independence that he bought. It'll be interesting to see

whenever he's busted with... Or not. Are they going to be busted? I feel he's busted with... Or not. Yeah, are they going to be busted? I feel like they're just going to slide. Yeah, because the other timeline is he's going to be the fucking president too when this becomes some fucking weird autocratic dynasty and shit. That's true. Yeah, that's probably not that unlikely, to be honest,

because fascism is the only thing that's mounting a opposition to standard status quo capitalism so it's probably not that unlikely that we one day it would be avanca but there could be like some literal backstabbing inside the family so we'll see well this is this is what's fun about being in America. You get to just wait and see what happens in the season finale. Taz, truly a pleasure, as always, having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? You can find me on Tazzy Star, like Mazzy Star with a T. Do you know how many of these Gen Z kids don't know who Mazzy Star is?

I was going to ask. Is that still hitting for people? I mean, some people. I think it'll hit for our people. But Tazzy Star. Hey, played that at my wedding. Fade Into You. Remix. Remix, of course.

Have you heard that one? That one kind of goes. The Avenir remix to Fade Into You. I don't know which I have heard of it. It's kind of yeah it gives it a different vibe feels a little more uh it's just cool and is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying you know what did i share with y'all i shared this tweet about dating because i am still a single girl in la and it's been making the rounds it says that there's this article that came out from psychology today that says that there's a rise of lonely

single men and one of the key points is dating opportunities for heterosexual men are diminishing as healthy relationship standards increase which i thought was really funny because it's very true. Yeah. That's crazy. That's just like a given. They're like, and as we know. This tweet has 180 likes right now.

180,000. Oh, 180,000. Yeah. It's really... When we talked about... I think, Jack, there was, when we talked about, I think, Jack, you were out when you talked about the newest MAGA dating app, too. And they were just talking about how, like, it's just so hard, like, especially for men, blah, blah, blah.

And I was like, yeah, have you also seen these articles out there that, like, people are less into just some dude like, hey, what's up, girl? Get over here. Right. I don't know anything about anything. Emotional needs are nothing. I'm a, please raise me.

What do you think is going on on these MAGA dating apps? I don't, I think it's a lot of smoke and mirrors because none of them last. If I think if any of them were functioning, they would still exist here. Like there's, there was Donald daters that came out. That shit folded instantly there was another one called writer r-i-g-h-t-e-r fucking not really here and i think there it must be some this is clear like those those dating apps are clearly just like this thing for all of the like incel men who support donald trump that they're like yeah and there's females here too y'all

don't worry your worldview isn't objectively repugnant to human beings right and then it shuts down because no one's using it yep and then they can go right back to being like you know hating whoever the fuck it is for that day. Yeah. Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? Uh, find me on Twitter and Instagram at miles of gray. Uh, and also find me on the other podcasts. Miles and Jack got mad boosties.

Uh, and also for 20 day fiance with Sophia Alexandra. Let's see a tweet that I like. Uh, This is from Voices by Zane at Voices by Zane tweeted, in retrospect, the villain of Space Jam 2 being an algorithm that wants to get rid of classic Warner Brothers animation

is really funny. That is funny. Because they keep taking shit away. And you know what's fucked up, especially about, I've talked about a few tweets about this, is that the first shit that's on the block to get snuffed out is all the diverse content. Oh, of course.

You know what I mean? And it's just regressing right back to being like, let's protect the sort of our old way of thinking of this tired ass white content, white centric content will sell. Yeah. Because that's when you get decisions that are really centralized

in a handful of white executives' decision-making. So that's... Yeah. And it was like all the DEI stuff, all the people of color movies really came about because of all the protests that were happening. And now that the protesting has calmed down, they're like,

no one's going to notice. The famous fucking fine green lightings. Okay. Whatever. You happy now? No. All right. Never happy.

Exactly. Carter Hambly tweeted, do the mailmen know about each other? I think that's just a good question. Sorry, there was one other. Oh, shout out to Travis Stockstill. Travis as Butcher on Twitter, Zeitgeist fan, said, letting my six-year-old watch Jaws,

which I appreciate because that i'm looking for like support and my claim and my aim to let my six-year-old watch jaws because he's obsessed with sharks and only like five people get eaten on camera yeah and then maybe maybe afraid to swim in a dark pool though yeah and then he shared a video from TikTok that has the caption, My son's favorite part of Jaws. And it's the guy going, What kind? What kind of shark?

Tiger shark. A what? A shark. That was the part that I was talking about. The great background performance by a guy going, what kind of shark is it? A tiger shark. A what?

That kid has good taste. Yeah. Great taste. Follow him, at American Butcher on TikTok and Instagram. You want to know about the butcher? Yeah, yeah. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist.
