Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of Happy 100th Birthday, Jimmy Carter.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Oh wow. Yeah. Jimmy Carter. My name is Jack, Jimmy Cartrend. My name is Jack. Jimmy Cartrend. That over there is Myles. Hey, Jimmy Cartrend. That rolls off the tongue.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And this is the episode where we tell you what is trending in America's shared consciousness. Obviously, the big story right now, Iran launched about 180 ballistic missiles at Israel. And yeah, I mean, we've conducted some interviews with experts in international relations and this seems bad is the conclusion. It's just a constant escalation.
Starting point is 00:03:26 The U.S. again, like we refuse to exert any kind of leverage over Israel, as it just looks like they're they're seeking some kind of massive regional war. It's just again, like for all the talk of like safety of people, this is I don't see how this is making anyone safer. all the talk of like safety of people, this is, I don't see how this is making anyone safer. And like you were pointing out, I think on Monday about just sort of this idea of like escalation to deescalate, which is sort of like rhetorically what Israel is saying, is not effective. It's only inflaming things. You now have missiles heading into your country because of the expansion of all this aggression, not just in Gaza and the West Bank, but now in Lebanon and displaced like a quarter, at least, I think they're saying at least one million people have been displaced internally in Lebanon and others are going to Syria.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And we talk about this, you'll hear about this on tomorrow's show, like in Michigan, there are concerns about what this is doing to the Harris campaign's ability to actually win in Michigan, because of the lack of any movement in a different direction from what Biden is doing, which is just sort of like looking the other way. And I just, yeah, like at the beginning of the year, I remember when we were talking about predictions, I was just like, there's the fact that the United States is not doing anything tangible about the genocide and the occupation Is going it's some if there's some something is this isn't just gonna come to pass. It's not gonna blow over
Starting point is 00:04:53 Yeah, no, no, no in some way there is going to be some kind of Reaction to the lack of action And yeah, and you're just saying this now with the constant just escalation, escalation. You had, you know, at the UN, you had foreign ministers of like these Arab countries saying like, look, we have, we're offering a diplomatic off ramp here. Like it doesn't need to be this way. And for all the talk that you hear from Netanyahu is of like, we're surrounded by nations that want to kill us. They're saying like, as the nations you're saying, like, want this, we're telling you we can guarantee peace.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Just it's just very clear. Like, just please stop filing a stop. Yeah. Please stop killing innocent people. Yeah. Escalation to deescalate is a theory that only makes sense if your end game is just and then they do whatever we tell them to do. Right. It'll deescalate because we've overwhelmed you with our escalation. Yeah. The reporting of the missile attack has been revelatory in the sense that CNN is able to notice when a missile attack is on a civilian
Starting point is 00:05:57 target and seems designed to inflict the maximum loss of innocent life, which is how they're describing this missile attack. They don't seem capable of making that same deduction when it's happening in any of the countries that Israel is attacking. And it's also just generally like Americans don't want fucking more war. No. And we and the polling is so clear that arming Israel and allowing them to run this campaign of like genocide and displacement is, is not, is not good. Like, and these aren't people, foreign policy experts. They're just merely observing things as human beings saying, no, this is, this is really, this is terrible. Like, this is not the direction of a world that
Starting point is 00:06:43 I want to be living in, alongside the many other things that Americans don't want to be a part of going forward in the future. But it's, it's just so frustrating again, because you see all of these things that potentially could add up to Donald Trump winning again, when a lot of these things seem pretty simple. It's just that, yeah, you kind of have to go against the momentum of the military industrial complex and like lobbying on behalf of Israel to be able to achieve that. But that's where you were looking for something that is inspirational in terms of leadership. But yeah, it's not easy, but it is simple. Like that's, that's what needs to be done in this case.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Sure. And like, yeah, exactly. And easy is definitely a subjective thing, especially for lifelong politicians who, you know, live in a world where you can get phone calls from people and you're like, I don't know, man, I think I shouldn't, I shouldn't support this bill. I shouldn't do this thing. But, but holy shit, we need some kind of actual lasting permanent ceasefire at a minimum without just being tethered to, you know, like what Israel is doing and inevitably having to be drawn into some larger conflict that is going to cause an even increased amount of innocent people being killed. So yeah, it's right there. It's right there for the Harris Waltz campaign. Please, you may be surprised at what happens if you do the thing that, you know, over three quarters of your voting base is asking for. Yeah. But given the tenor of the
Starting point is 00:08:12 Western mainstream media, it feels like that outcome has become less likely. Right. And I think that's why it's so disorienting. And I've said this so many times for people who they observe something, they read something, oh, that's awful. But then like the tone of the media is like, yeah, I don't know, man. Like they're, they gotta defend themselves and Joe Byron, Joe Byron's down for that.
Starting point is 00:08:34 So, and onto our next story kind of a thing. But yeah, this is how we see how, you know, mass media is just essentially a larger tool of the larger imperialistic project. But yeah. Yeah. Let's see some kind of diplomatic action. Let's see some use of leverage.
Starting point is 00:08:52 It's right there, really low hanging fruit. All right. Speaking of lifelong politicians, Jimmy Carter is old as hell today. He just turned 100, which is the longest a US president has ever lived. He's previously said that he wants Joe Biden to eulogize him at his eventual state funeral.
Starting point is 00:09:15 But it does seem possible that Carter will outlive Biden at this point. Who knows? Carter has been in hospice for 19 months. Um, and his grandson, Jason Carter has said that the former president's quote, eager to cast his ballot for Kamala Harris in a guardian article. So years old for some reason, I think like his son, Vince Carter, son, Vince Carter has said, uh, Oh, yo. Yo. What a talented, Incredible longevity.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Yeah. He has previously attributed his longevity to his wife Rosalyn Carter, but she passed away in 2023 before we had a chance to, you know, extract her blood and synthesize so as to give us all whatever Jimmy Carter's death-defying powers are.
Starting point is 00:10:03 It's the peanuts, man. It's the peanuts. Yeah. It's the peanuts. Yeah. It's all about peanuts. Yeah. I mean, this has been, there's so many, I mean, like, yeah, happy birthday to Jimmy Carter. And then like, you know, on Monday, you had Dikembe Mutombo and Pete Rose passing away. There's just a lot of, and then John Amis also today, you know, there's a lot of life and death is always happening around us. But yeah, Jimmy Carter, 100, well, 100 years old. Jimmy Carter, as one account online
Starting point is 00:10:32 at History Calendar pointed out, Jimmy Carter is now too old to play with Legos. Because Legos age is listed four to 99. So. Can you imagine you put Legos in front of him? He's like, what are these? Their Legos Jimmy dies like right away Choked on a Lego
Starting point is 00:10:56 He thought it was gum. Yeah. All right, and Ted Cruz is back in the news So every once in a while I get a little news flash that Ted Cruz His race is getting closer and closer. Yeah. To the point that he is now. So he was like, he, I think won his first race by like 16 points back in 2012. And then in 2018 against Beto O'Rourke, uh, it was like a 2.6 point win. O'Rourke. It was like a 2.6 point win. He's now up by one percentage point in his race against Colin Allred, a Democrat in Texas in a statewide election. I think the ones that have him up the highest is like at most three points and the closest one percent like one point so that is that is very
Starting point is 00:11:45 close for a Texas race but again I think a lot of people who are you know Democrats in Texas always point to the fact that it's like no no the voter suppression is just really good here that's that's why it seems solidly red it's not that these people don't exist that are progressive or liberal or whatever it's just that the voter suppression's real good. And we've heard people like Ken Paxton, the attorney general brag about how he's like, yeah, man, I basically like caused so much chaos
Starting point is 00:12:12 in Houston that I'm pretty sure that's how Trump was able to win. So yeah, this is now he's doing the thing that you know you're in trouble when suddenly like a month and a few days out from election, like I'm actually really Bipartisan now me right? Yeah, Cruz. He's come out as bipartisan Yeah, he's attempting to rebrand. He's trying the rebrand
Starting point is 00:12:35 He saw what it did for Mark Zuckerberg, and he's like maybe I just like get a new look Do you see that tweet about Mark Zuckerberg talking about how you thought like wearable glasses are like the next future tech and someone. Yeah. Quote to it. And it was like, damn, how when Adonis gets so old, breaks, kid. Yeah. So stupid. What's that floppy? He went floppy hair with the chains.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I'm still really unsettled by that. He rebranded as like Gen Z, even though he's a 40 something person. I think he's 40. But yeah, so Ted Cruz came out and said that he's always passing bipartisan legislation and the mainstream media just doesn't report on it. A very sweaty pivot by him. You were always bipartisan? Yeah, he's always been bipartisan. Oh, you ranked as a bipartisan? What's your bipartisan? You must be like top five bipartisans? So, yeah, the Lugar Center and Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy
Starting point is 00:13:35 actually released a report in May ranking senators by how bipartisan their votes were in the most recent session of Congress. Ted Cruz, what, top ten? Yeah, so he is bottom 10, actually. Out of 98 senators on the list, he ranked 89th. Which, he's actually become less bipartisan recently because on the previous list, he ranked 85th. But he's always down there at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Yeah, Politico, I think, was initially reporting this story and they even asked, like, oh, so, like, if you're so bi, then why did you vote against that horrific bipartisan border bill, which many people were like, Jesus Christ, Joe Biden is laying down and basically putting in a bill that was written by like James Lankford, who was like, this now this is it, bro. Like he, we got the concessions we want. And then because Trump was sort of like, no,
Starting point is 00:14:27 I need to be able to say that the border is a mess. So no, none of you fucking vote for this, even the ones that care and it is our wish list. So Cruz's response to that is like, so what happened with that bill, which was bipartisan quote, the bill was an absolutely terrible bill. It was a Chuck Schumer bill that was designed to make the border crisis worse. It was such a bad bill that any Republican reading it said this is terrible and I can't support it
Starting point is 00:14:50 Except for one of the most right-wing senators when it comes to immigration who was like, yeah this good good for me Good here. All right, man. Yeah, keep keep doing your thing. I just can't wait to see his new haircut It's gonna be dope. He's gonna get like a perm. Or he'll grow the beard out. Does he have the beard still? He might do that. I haven't checked in with him in a while. At the RNC, he did have his little beard going. So maybe it'll be like full on Confederate mutton chops for the election.
Starting point is 00:15:17 This bill is giving Chuck Schumer. Is how he should have said it. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. We're turning up the heat on the newest episode of All the Smoke. Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris
Starting point is 00:15:37 pulls up to the show to discuss her historic presidential run. Most people have ambition. They have aspirations. They have dreams and they are willing to work hard.

Starting point is 00:17:12 And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadston. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts. When you're just starting out in your career, you have a lot of questions. Like how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed? Or, can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job?

Starting point is 00:18:13 Hi, I'm Essie Kupp and I've spent the last 20 plus years knee deep in politics in the news. I've covered some really tough subjects from war to genocide to six presidential elections, way too much Trump. You know what? I need a break, like a mental health break from the news, from the triggering headlines. And I kind of suspect some of you listening out there might need a break too. So my new podcast is going to be just that, a fun and loose space where I talk to my famous
Starting point is 00:18:42 friends and people I admire about all the stuff that consumes us when we're not consumed by politics. I did not really rebel in the 60s. I had no sex in the 70s. I made no money in the 80s. So when true crime came along, I missed that trend too. So many great guests are joining me from Josh Mankiewicz to Larry Wilmore, to Molly John Fass, to Josh Gad.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I'm so excited that you have this platform and I am just like hoping that I don't destroy the platform in its earliest stages. Listen to Off the Cup on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Sup y'all, this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records,
Starting point is 00:19:50 Nimini, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimini here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Flash slam, another one gone. Bash bam, another one gone.
Starting point is 00:20:12 The cracker, the bat, and another one gone. A tip, but a cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months
Starting point is 00:20:28 before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And if you came with me, did you know, did you know I wouldn't give up my seat? Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We're back. And so Taco Bell is testing a couple of new items. The Calian Caliente Cantina chicken burrito. You're insane.
Starting point is 00:21:16 The Caliente Cantina chicken burrito and Aguas Refresca drinks. So just overall, how do we feel about like, I mean, personally, we all have our like Taco Bell orders, you know? Yeah, yeah. So I'm probably not coming up off of the cheesy gordita crunch, but what is your... I look at it as like an artist that I love when they start doing new kinds of genre stuff to bring in more fans into them. Like, yeah, I'm good with expanding the imprint of the brand. But at the end of the day, I only eat like three things at Taco Bell. And I will I don't know why even when I see them like that looks good to my mouth eyes as I look at it. But then you get me to a Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:22:02 It's I'm always going to drink Baja Blast. I'm always going to get some kind either soft tacos supreme or have like a maxi melt reverse engineered and like a chicken spicy spicy Chicken quesadilla, that's it. I don't need anything else. I don't need anything else So that's why part of me is like am I bad cuz I'm I don't even I'm not even interested or I'm just so also appears to have lettuce in it, which I am not a I cannot deal with lettuce in my burrito personally. Really? Yeah. I don't I don't fuck with it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Yeah. I mean, I don't mind. And again, my soft taco supreme has got lettuce in it, you know? Yeah. And even like the fucking Jack in the Box deep fried ones where you get like these be like two for a in the box, deep fried ones where you get like these would be like two for a buck. Yeah, those do have lettuce too. Yeah. They have like warm, wet lettuce and I fucking love those things for some reason. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I think someone tweeted something, but I was like, yeah, it's technically a vegetable because it has that lettuce in it. Yeah. In terms of fast food. It's basically a salad. Yeah. That's the logic I use.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I guess of all the things, I would be open to a different drink. Like I love Baja Fresh, but I like sweet drinks just generally. I'm sorry, did I say Baja Fresh? Well, yeah. And you do love Baja Fresh. And you think it hasn't gotten any worse.
Starting point is 00:23:19 No, no, not at all. They've actually gotten better over the years. But yeah, the aguas frescas, that'll, I'll take a punt on that. How fresca do we think these aguas are? That's the, that's the real thing. Cause like, if you go to a real like taqueria or something, like a real taco stand or joint, like that one in like those obviously those big plastic jugs where you can see the fruit in it and you're like, I know it's a lot of sugar, but I'll see pieces of fruit. Is this going to just be a syrupy bag type thing that they're calling it?
Starting point is 00:23:51 I will. First, I don't know. That's T B D T B D. But again, I don't go to Taco Bell for fresh ingredients. I go for just terrible consistency. Yeah. TBD Taco Bell do it. Um, I don't know why they left the eye off. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I couldn't come up with a D dammit. It didn't stick the landing there, but that's all right. They're also bringing back the cheese. It crunch wrap Supreme. This time with an exciting twist to cheese it would have to cheese it. Wait, what do you mean? What the first Taco Bell cheese at Crunchwrap Supreme presupposed is one cheese it. But what this asks the question of this asks is what if two cheese it?
Starting point is 00:24:37 So they're just dropping a second big, big old cheese at cracker in the middle of the Crunchwrap Supreme. Yeah. And like a like nearly 20 times the size cheese it. But now they're bringing, now you get to, now you get to stacked stack them, baby. I like how it says the company will also offer an a la cart, big cheese it. Just be like, Hey, can I get the big cheese? You know, you want the crunch wrap? Nah, nah, man.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Just give me that. Can I get a side of big cheese it, know you want the crunch wrap nah nah man excuse me can i get a side of big cheese it please thank you thank you king shit i think i just want to do that to do the order just to say that at a drive-through and freak her majesty out i'm like watch this can i get a big cheese it i mean that's it might come in handy with like the the goopy stuff falling out of your crunch wrap supreme. You know what I mean? Just like a little pick up a little. Yeah, little plate that you eat after a little goop shovel, which we all need when we're
Starting point is 00:25:35 eating Taco Bell. Yeah. Not to be confused with the $3,000 diamond encrusted goop shovel that Gwyneth Paltrow sells on Goop. All right. And finally, uh, Netflix cancellations recently spiked thanks to Trump supporters, uh, the mega action, um, or maybe not. So this is kind of being widely reported, uh, that Netflix cancellations spiked in July
Starting point is 00:26:05 after Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings endorsed Kamala Harris and donated $7 million to her campaign. Cancellations dearly tripled in the month of July. And Bloomberg. But it wasn't even directly to her campaign, right? It was to like another, it was like a Republican accountability,
Starting point is 00:26:22 like indirect hit. But I think they're like, what, Republican account, you're her. But I think they're like, what Republican account? You're her. But again, I get it. It's the money still against the same person, essentially. Bloomberg, the New York Post, Fox Business all came through with the Netflix cancellation spiked after Reed Hastings donated to Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Netflix cancellations nearly tripled after co-founder Reed Hastings endorsed Kamala Harris. So he stepped down as Netflix CEO in 2023. And also he donated $7 million, not to Harris' campaign directly, but to the Republican Accountability Pack. But yes, news of the donations inspired calls for a boycott at the time. and Netflix was previously trying to keep his politics quiet probably because of stuff like this. However, like people who actually follow Netflix subscription numbers are like that was also when they announced that they were phasing out the cheapest non ad-supported tier like the
Starting point is 00:27:22 basic plan. So they were, we expected a huge spike in cancellations at that time. This is just basically a made up story to make it seem like mega alive and well and powerful. Yeah. I mean, they're your ass Netflix. And this is every time they love to be like, dude, don't piss off the member. What they did to Volvo.
Starting point is 00:27:48 Remember what they did to curing. Remember what they did to what and put to Carhartt. And all those businesses promptly went out of business and no longer exist. Yeah. I mean, I, I look at my car heart and I go, God, thank God I have that. Because they don't have, they're not making it anymore. Because they just went so out of business so hard. Nike socks, they don't even sell Nike socks anymore. They just sell the
Starting point is 00:28:14 socks with the hole where the Nike logo used to be from where people cut out the Nike logo. And Nike is not doing well, but that's for a myriad of other reasons that have nothing to do with MAGA outrage about Colin Kaepernick. But it is funny how you get these conservative outlets being like, all right, man, what are we doing the MAGA consumer myth article? Let's go. Netflix cancellations spike. Netflix cancellations nearly tripled. Netflix highest day of cancellations this year. Even though Netflix is preparing their own investors to be like, look, bro, this, it might get a little dodgy when we have to raise the prices, but it's happening because line must go up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:52 And the new CEO gets to come in and be like, fucking read. Yeah. Be serious, man. What the? He did. Look what he did to me. Guys, we got rid of him. So don't worry about that.
Starting point is 00:29:02 That's not a going forward problem. That problem's in the rear view. Yeah, the read view. But yeah, all those articles with the headline being like the mega consumer half spoken, then admit in the body of the text that it's really just because Netflix shot themselves in the foot by discontinuing their most affordable option, but they just, you know, you don't put that in the headline. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Rather than the headline being Netflix cancellation spike after discontinuing their most affordable option. They're like, nah, man, say it's because they don't like, I don't know, whatever the new thing. They don't like your eyes. Yeah. Yeah. That show is a trip.
