It's Neha Z! Neha!

Hi. I'm so glad to be here. Good to have you back. How's H-Town at the moment? You mean Austin? Or Austin. That's what Miles calls H-Town. He thinks it's Austin. I'll try to get it picked up over here.

We're keeping it all in, but I'm going to do it again. How's A-Town? It's pretty good. It's just getting unseasonably hot and it's like not unseasonably, unseasonably for me. But it was like 80 degrees and I was dying, so we'll see what the next three

months will bring. It's icy out here. Illogically. Irrationally hot. A heat that no person should be expected to live in. I agree. Yeah. We were comparing weather reports. Actually, LA is pretty nice today.

It's been gray and doomy. The sun is shoning a bit. Yeah. But we were saying that we're going to need to start adding to weather reports. Where are we on the apocalyptic scale? Are you like a seven? What's it looking like outside your door? Where are we on the apocalyptic?

It's looking like a two. I feel like some of the trees are slowly moving in the breeze. It's getting darker. Oh, that sounds nice. Yeah. Oh, you got a storm coming yeah we got a storm coming there was a thunder earlier in los angeles we had a couple yeah it's fun it is so wild when you hear thunder in los angeles you're like what the

fuck was that yeah what is uh my kids who have never heard it have questions all right now we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about uh we are gonna talk about how the media is reacting to the fact that as of yesterday the sky in new york and much of the eastern seaboard was bright orange. Fox News just kind of pulled out their old playbook and started talking about how telling people to wear masks in the middle of a

giant smoke storm is a left-wing conspiracy. They're just anti-masks as a... on principle, they don't fuck with masks. It was wild when they were with those firefighters. I'm like, why do you guys even wear respirators? Yeah, exactly.

What's the point? This smells good to me. Don't you like the smell of wood smoke? Even the New York Times, you know, they acknowledge that this is caused by climate change. But when it comes to like who to blame, they had an interesting story on the front page of The New York Times. It was kind of like their big story with the cool pictures and the cool like web design where you clicked on it. And it was like giant glowing embers. And they put in the work and they want to blame people who start them, the people who accidentally start forest fires.

And they're like, they're the problem wow so it's just interesting i mean that's definitely like i'm all for fire safety but it was just it's just interesting to see that being the main thing that they focus their energy on well it's certainly not going to be their own sponsors right exactly we're going to be the fossil fuel industry ah no no i mean there climate change, but let's focus on these people. But who's to blame for these fires? Who can we actually focus our anger on? Surely none of the executives

of the companies that pay us to create sponsored articles for them. So we'll talk about that. We will bid a not-so-fond adieu to Pat Robertson, human piece of shit, garbage person who passed away And we'll talk about the upcoming Captain

America reboot no longer Is it called Captain America New World Order Oh but yeah Yeah good call All that plenty more but first Now how we like to ask our guests What is something from your

Search history You know so last week I saw A film called Saint Omer how we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? You know, so last week I saw a film called Saint-Omer that's on Hulu and it was shortlisted for the Best International Feature Academy Award from France. And it's just really riveting. So I feel like everyone should watch it,

but it's about a journalist novelist who is going to a court case to see a woman who is accused of murdering her kids. So it's very sad. But she's like writing a book about it and she's actually pregnant herself. And that is based on an actual case that the director witnessed that took place in France. So then I was like looking at the real case, but then it was like 1145 at night that I'm like, I don't need to look at this right now.

But that was like one of those like rabbit holes that I went to. The last time I was on here, it was like Anastasia and like Russian politicians. And like, now it's this murder case from France. That's not funny, but I love it. No, I get it. No, I no i mean it's it is always intriguing when you watch something and it is there's any kind of real life connection because when if like if it's half interesting i do the same thing now

well what about the real actual thing but so the the story is about a pregnant journalist who's covering a case about a woman who killed her child yes because she's writing a book got it that i think um or a novel that i think is like a similar thing so it's like a research wow and is this a journalist turned filmmaker uh this is a documentarian yeah so she this is her first narrative feature. She has made documentaries before. And you are at the beginning of that journey, right? Yeah. Starting to cast a feature?

A short film. Maybe a feature in the future. Eventual feature. I skipped a couple steps. An Academy Award winning feature eventually, but for now, a short film. For now, yeah. A short film darling of the festival circuit obviously and then you make your way to the top yes that's the dream that's the goal yeah amazing what is something that you think is overrated i feel like i'm gonna upset a lot of

people go ahead upset so i saw top gun maverick for the first time on Memorial Day. So good, right? Because they were playing it. So good. Well, I'm about to disappoint. On Memorial Day, because the Alamo Draft House was playing it and I missed it when it came out last year. So I was like, whatever. It's playing. I'll watch it. And it's a lot.

I just like, I don't know. I think it's just like Tom Cruise being Tom Cruise and then like Miles Teller being like an anti-vaxxer and then knowing these things and then watching this. And then there's so much like I've only seen Top Gun once in like a film class when I was 17. So I haven't seen it in like 15 years. What was that teacher like? He was cool. I don't remember his name.

I just like this like y'all got to see Top Gun. This is a serious film. Right after Citizen Kane. Right before. I don't know. Right before. Was it in the context of like, this is what American like Cold War anxiety wrought? Probably. Or was it him just being like,

this is a sick ass film. Also again, grew up in Texas. So they're probably like military history like you know this is important but i think it was just like so like just so much with like your dad would have been proud like all of this stuff and i'm like all right like let's calm it down a notch but yeah i mean it's fine but everyone was like, when this film came out, was like freaking the fuck out. And I think it's because it was delayed for so long because it was supposed to come out in 2020. And, you know, I think Steven Spielberg was like, you're saving film Tom Cruise with your movie.

I don't know. It was just, it was fine. I feel like that was a paid statement. Yeah, I like I liked it. So I never like got to the point where I was like, everybody needs to shut the fuck up about this movie. Like everyone's freaking out way too much. And like I saw it with my wife and she like really enjoyed it. So I wasn't going to like, you know, tamp any of the enthusiasm down.

So I wasn't going to like, you know, tamp any of the enthusiasm down. But like in retrospect, yes, it was like a solid B plus. And everyone was like, yo, they really didn't save the movie. Yeah, I know. I mean, people were amped. And I was just like. I just remember, Jack, you were like, you're like, yes, it's worth watching. You were kind of like, it's fun.

And that was your assessment. It're like yes it's worth watching you were kind of like it's fun and that's sort of where that was your assessment it was like it's it's fun and then i was like oh okay maybe i'll catch it on streaming and then i just never got around oh you never saw it you never saw it in theaters oh miles you simply must yeah and that's why i did that because i know it's streaming on some network right right right but I was like okay like my tv's 30 inches you can like see it behind me I'm like I'm like I'm gonna watch this in a theater I'll at least give it that like I'll watch it in the respect that's a film that's the filmmaker's respect right there like well I should see it on the big screen as it was intended to be viewed yes yeah I mean should I see it like what kind of shit it's like an airplane movie right it's like yeah if you got a minute check it out but like not like yo man

making up this is appointment viewing yeah no i mean i already yeah it's a b plus for me but there's definitely like a lot of people have reacted to it in a way and it's not always like the people who i you know it's not just like people who are like big fans of military or, you know, I know a lot of people who really like films and like really loved that movie. And I think there's part of us that's are all rooting for movies to not go away. So I think there's some of that like tied into it, but it's,

um, yeah, I can't be like, yo, you need to catch this. Like, cause I knew some people were like, it's awesome.

And I just, I just don't know if like, maybe it was one of those films that was just really entertaining. Cause I feel a lot, there's a, there's like this misconception of like something that's really entertaining and then being like, this is high art.

Yeah. You know what I mean? There's a difference between entertainment and a good film. And it's like entertaining, sure. But there's also masculinity and you know,

we're going to take this conversation to the sky. I don't know. Like vibe of just like, we'll let like skills speak for themselves type of thing like there's only one way to settle this dispute yeah exactly take it to the sky take it to the take our dick measuring contest to the sky yeah yeah okay fine all right for sure i personally think the best part is like the very first like sequence or like action

sequence where you like see him and he's like testing that like experimental aircraft like that part i thought was cool and everything after that felt like it was almost exactly like what my brain had filled in for a top gun sequel yeah Well, put it on the list. What's something that you think is underrated? So, just kind of looking at all the stuff with this new Marvel film, there was a film that I saw

that I think a lot of people haven't seen. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2021, and I programmed it for the Cleveland International Film Festival last year. And it's on Netflix and it's called Farah.

And it is about, it's a Palestinian coming of age story. And it takes place during the Nakba in the 1940s. And it's just very good. And I just, I feel like it got a lot of like i'm not gonna say there was controversy there was controversy if you were a zionist and you had a problem with this you're trying to humanize these people yes yeah but it's it's i think a really great film that i think everyone should see because it's just like and it's from a it was jordan's international pick for best picture for their international feature oscar and it's really good like so it's on netflix and it's just very well done how do you spell the

title um i think it's f-a-r-a-h there's a couple of variations of how you spell farah yeah right right yeah it's on yeah man wait what were you saying about in relation to Marvel? You mentioned something about Marvel. Were you just saying that Marvel's just taking up the oxygen? Is that what you mean? Well, no, I think there was like a character that was like an Israeli cop or something. Oh, yeah, we're going to get to that. Yeah, yeah. So that's part of the Captain America.

That's part of the Captain America reboot. Oh, right, right, right. And then like seeing that, I was like, okay, wow. Let me talk about this. Yeah, right. Rather than a former Mossad agent mutant superhero, how about a human being who's living through the Nakba in Palestine? Are you ever former Mossad or CIA or are you always just kind of, you know, doing the work behind the scenes? I feel like that, yeah, former or current, which is pretty wild for Marvel to be like, it's a massage agent.

It's wild. And this is Captain CIA, his partner. Yeah. It's wild. I was with somebody who was like, yeah, my dad was in the CIA and was like, all like happy about it. And I was kind of like, yo, like doing what he's like,

I remember that, but like in the eighties, like, yeah, like in Latin America and stuff. And I was like, Jesus Christ. Like, no,

why are you smiling? He's like, I never saw him, but he was like, he's like, he's got some cool stories. You should talk to him. I'm like,

yeah, maybe he should talk to the fucking Hague. Yeah. And now there's no alternative to hypercapitalism because he killed people. It was so sick. Basically, what happened was instead of using communism as a pressure point, we were using predatory loans from the World Bank and stuff. It was really cool, man.

Anyway. All right. Well, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll we'll talk about these these dang wildfires we'll be right back 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.

Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two.

Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite out of the most delicious food

and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey

that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We are. And Fox News, I think, had a bunch of anti-mask, like, chyrons, like, on-screen, over-the-shoulder graphics that they didn't get to use during the pandemic somehow.

Yeah. Because they are bringing it back. They're doing, with wildfire smoke, what they did with COVID and calling public health advice to wear masks, masks and stay inside a left-wing conspiracy. What is the conspiracy exactly? That's the question. It can't just be like, they want you to take care of yourself.

That's a conspiracy. Okay. They're conspiring to do what through this? I don't know. It's a great question. Cause their, their theory of the case always seemed to be they're making a bigger deal about COVID than it really is to hurt Donald Trump. And somehow, even though every other country was making a bigger deal of it than we were, the fact that it was inconvenient for Donald Trump, that it was extra work. They're like, he already has so much work, was all part of a conspiracy, I guess.

Okay. The difference here, obviously, is that they don't kill anyone else by not wearing a mask, which is, you know, a nice benefit. But they are, you know, talking to an elderly audience and telling them that masking is part of a conspiracy to control you to nobody really knows what.

Stay home and watch more Fox News. That's the government's conspiracy. I think subsubsistence wages are a way to control you. I don't know. That's just my theory because then what's your alternative if you don't do that? Anyway, I don't know anything about coercion through financial. Anyway, whatever, whatever.

Okay, it's the masks. It's the masks. It's the masks. Thank God for Fox News. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So they have like experts on to reinvest? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. So they invited Steve Malloy on to discuss this matter in particular. He is a climate scientist. Oh, sorry. No, he's a former cigarette and coal lobbyist. How do you do both? How are you in both? I'm going to speak specifically on behalf of smoke, I guess.

You're on behalf of big smoke. I guess. You're on behalf of big smoke. Okay. A lot of people have been hard on carcinogenic smoke past couple days. We need to get the other side of this issue. Right, right, right. He said of the smoke, this doesn't kill anybody.

This doesn't make anybody cough. This is not a health event. Just keep telling them that, and maybe that'll be true i just i love it it's from a guy whose job it was to tell people to not worry about the smoke like where even though it's scientifically proven like whether you're mining coal or you live near a coal-fired plant like the health outcomes and all these are being a cigarette smoker he's like that's not a health event man all right can we move on all right did my check okay great thank you third time's a charm like it's not like he can't be wrong about smoke being a risk to people's health okay three times in a row he's like all right i was wrong about the cigarettes y'all got me there and i was wrong

about the coal i'll own up to that yeah yeah that's on me that's on me but the wildfires but yeah it does like raise i mean yeah there's nobody specifically funding the wildfires like he's not speaking on behalf of big wildfire i guess it's just all part of an attempt to tamp down as we'll see any finger pointing specifically at fossil fuel companies but sure So just, you know, in case you were believing the coal and cigarette lobbyists, a 2021 study found that 33,000 people a year die from pollution

caused by wildfire smoke. Like not just pollution in general, that number's astronomically high. Just wildfire smoke. 33,000 people a year die from that. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

And then part of the reason why wearing a mask is being suggested and not mandated, by the way, is because the health risks are long-term ones. They're not a thing that will show up necessarily right away. That's gold for Fox News news you know what i mean if it doesn't affect you right this minute then they can be like it doesn't even matter dude watch i'm holding this you're like plutonium rod look i'm rubbing on my face it doesn't it's not doing anything to me you see maybe in like maybe three weeks from now and be fucked but right now all good all good. All good.

You see, don't wear a mask. Jesus. Yeah. There's a history of people doing like really harmful things with like somebody with like leaded gas. They were like, I'll wash my hands in this leaded gas and I'll be fine. And then they got like incredibly sick. Like right after doing that.

But yeah, multiple Fox News hosts have claimed that the smoke is totally fine because they went for a walk and don't feel a thing so that's the level of scientific rigor that they're bringing to it oh beautiful i know even like uh laura ingram on her show had like another just creature of the coal industry on and like it's funny she even conceded that the smoke was fucking her up but then she's like but it's not an she even conceded that the smoke was fucking her up. But then she's like, but it's not an issue, right? It was like a very odd here. I'll play this moment because it's weird to see like, even on Fox, she was even copping to the fact like, I mean, yeah, it's kind of

fucking me up. But it's all good, right? Ah, there it is going back to the beginning of the show, right? The inevitable intersection of climate and race. If you don't agree with Bill, at some point, they are going to call you a white supremacist. Joining me now, Steve Malloy, senior legal fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute and Trump era transition team member. Steve, no one's denying it is unpleasant. My eyes are pretty itchy and watery yesterday and a little bit today and might go on for a couple more days. But is this wholly out of the ordinary? I just like that she starts off being like,

yeah, man, that's fucking my eyes up pretty bad, obviously, maybe for the next couple of days, but this is fine, right? And the guy's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like he basically like, it's totally normal. All right, thanks, Laura. I'm off. But yeah, they got to do everything they can

to just, they have to be so nonchalant about the air quality in order to obscure the impacts of climate change because they can't cop. They cannot. There's no way they can acknowledge that the smoke is bad because that would be an indirect way of saying this shit is actually bad that we're experiencing on the planet. Like the situation around us is bad. They cannot ever, ever admit admit that so it has to always be oh man they wearing masks as aocs of snow whatever the fuck it is right they're just putting so much energy into this shit it's like laura you even though but okay whatever just just

i mean stupider and her to her question this is this really out of the ordinary new york city recorded its worst ever air quality wednesday ever when like this month no no yeah yeah usually ever just means this month in the history of new york a city that like when you look at the pictures of new york in the past it's just like you know it's very hazy with air pollution and right you know covered in horse shit and not not the cleanest looking place in the world like like you know the little kids who are working the factories all have like black lung and this beat all that shit you know right? Right. So Neha, who are you going to blame in this, in the smoke? Is it

climate change or is it Canada? Because we're also seeing that. Oh yeah, blame Canada. Yeah, oh yeah. But weren't they caused by like lightning? Yeah. Yeah. Arrest the lightning? Yeah.

You know, there's so many things i'm gonna i think i'm gonna go with climate change because that's what it makes sense and that's actually the truth alarmist alarmist is like what's what's the big sort of like the closest thing that happens like in austin or in your community that you're like oh that's climate change and then other people like, that's this other thing. Oh, God, I don't know. I feel like, well, I guess like all these crazy snowstorms we've had.

So which I saw is part of the paint with Barbie. And yeah, like we get snowed, I think in february and i lost my electricity for four days and then it's just yeah like for four days it wasn't as bad as like that 2021 storm but i mean like it always snows here i mean it's not like a pretty like you know like new england snow yeah it shouldn't yeah we shouldn't be like freaking out just because of like there's ice on the road and then like everything like goes to hell but it's also because of our grid that is not connected to the rest of the country yeah uh which i did not know until that massive snow snow in 2021 right yeah and how like terribly privatized it basically is it's like i don't

know man like i can try to avoid paying taxes yeah yeah both problems caused by deregulating the energy industry which has has worked beautifully uh over at newsmax we finally get a voice of reason on the right uh the hosts are weirdly kind of horny for the smoke and and also like not no big deal mbd think it kind of smells good yeah the orange smog here in new york city have you heard about many cities on the east coast primarily have this big blanket of orange smog right over the top of it our woke friends to the north in Canada, their forest fires got out of hand. And well, this is what we're dealing with. It's complicating some people's lives, but it's manageable. I'll tell you, it actually smells like wood smoke. It's not an unpleasant

odor, to be honest. It's kind of weird when it seeps into the building. But outdoors, I can deal with it folks with respiratory issues though that's a that's a real thing a real complication the white house is trying to wait i like to exploit this saying it's all he really did he was like hey man but if you got respiratory issues man that might fuck you up that must suck anyways moving along what the fuck it's seeping into the buildings but that's fine yeah yeah i mean it's a little weird when you can like it smells like wood smoke. Yeah, because it's from a fucking forest fire. It's a it's a millions of wood smoke motherfucker. What are you talking? And it's kind of he also goes on in that clip to say that it's pretty and beautiful. I think. Yeah. So he's Yeah, which by the way, like he's next to images that look like they are after a horrible bombing in a war zone. Yeah. This is the beautiful aura.

I think it's great that he used the word aura. Yeah. This is like calm aura over the city. I really like it. This is wild. If you're going, how far are we from when they're like, oh,, like, this terrible fire that burned up half a city, that was beautiful. That was great. You know what I mean?

Like, to, like, excuse away these things that are so obvious in front of you. Like, it, like, oh, God. Yeah. You do get a glimpse of, like. The mental gymnastics is, like, yeah, where we're headed with this shit the glimpse of where we're headed but also like of the the type of brain that like turns into an on-air anchor like because remember like that brian williams clip where is like the beautiful majesty of our weapons like oh right right watching like missiles being launched right anyways at the new york times i mean they're obviously overall like they're not

trying to claim the fires have nothing to do with climate change. The articles always mention that human induced climate change is the cause. Oh, good. But the biggest article on the front page of their website at a time when everybody like this is the main question on, I think, a lot of Americans minds, specifically like people in New York's minds, is this like op-ed from somebody who's like in charge of fighting forest fires. And they're just like, we need to stop putting up with these doofuses who start these fires. And then they're like, well, not these fires, actually. These fires were caused by lightning strikes. But a lot of the ones other fires are caused by people being careless. And so she talks about like how like when I look at like the devastation of these forest fires and these wildfires, I get so angry.

And then like really just goes in on at dirt bikers. Yeah. Dirt bikers who like don't have the spark. Yeah. Spark suppression on their vehicles or whatever. And it's just like, yeah, get mad. Get mad at the system and the companies that were aware of this, paid for, did research into this before the rest of the world, knew it was going to be a problem in the 80s. We're at the forefront of the research and then we're like uh we're gonna actually pretend it's not a thing and let you guys find out about it on your own and you know that like that would be a great place to look to for consequences instead of the people who are doing the same things they were doing in the 80s and now it is causing hey they weren't doing gender reveals like this

jack in the 80s that's true that's true so you know what man that's that's on them i just love this shit that we're they're going the plastic straws route on climate change with these people yeah it's on y'all y'all need to stop this shit you knock this shit off because it ain't the fucking massive place it's not that it's y'all. Okay. It's these damn dirt bikes has nothing to do with my friends at Exxon mobile. Nothing.

It's kind of smart because the main focus is like behave like these actions by people who are clearly not New York times readers, like New York times readers aren't going out and like riding dirt bikes through the wilderness with presumptuous sparks shooting after them or like one one of the people who started one of the forest fires in la or in california was like a father and son who like went out shooting in the woods right so it's like stuff that like obviously i'm like yeah that'd be real easy to stop. And, you know, it's really easy for everyone to look down upon who like isn't born into that culture, obviously. But it's and yeah, don't don't do that shit.

I'm all for fire safety. be to like put a singular individual out in front instead of you know companies and decisions made a long time ago uh by these companies who are trying hard as we'll show you in this paid sponsored uh news blend article that we're about to publish and link off to at the end of this you know yeah it's it's so it's so yeah whatever i mean it this is what they have to do because it's like the people know people ingest the the writings and the posts of the new york times and so if you read that then someone is more likely to go and have a conversation about that which is like i read this thing in the new york times that they actually said that like there's a lot of this could be prevented if people didn't have you know gender reveal

parties in the woods or put spark suppressors on their dirt bikes rather than if it was constantly saying it's these fucking companies yeah they are the ones who are fucking murdering everybody but because it's a quote company and we're treating this like amorphous thing because it generates capital that we can't somehow hold it responsible. So let's avoid that conversation and just move to the finger pointing to the, the, the, the dumb dumbs who like to shoot their guns off in the forest. Yeah. The New York times is part of the, that side of, you know, they are a mouthpiece for the whole like democratic and like corporate entities and the enemy of like their readers are hillbillies so like you know in in their readers mind they portray that so let's blame hillbillies let's find a way to make this about like you know hating mega people yeah yeah it's urban

versus agrarian all over again yes exactly, exactly. Tale as old as time. Tale as old as time. I think that's how the rest of that song went. Urban versus agrarian. I mean, Belle was very urbane. She wasn't urban, but she was like, I read books and you guys are idiots and you do the same shit over and over every day. And I'm fucking tired of it. So meet my dog man boyfriend and i'm into this guy you know and i also got with my kidnapper and

not kidnapper but like prisoner hey but hey but he gave me a nice dress yeah that was a nice dress yeah so i can't say the treatment's that bad being kidnapped by this man. But it's wild to like, because along with that, like there's this sort of there's like this Republican or conservative sort of worldview, right? It's like so fatalistic about everything. That's why there's no point in trying to do anything about it. It's like they're like, who cares about unhoused? Who cares about people being fucking slaughtered or living in an apartheid

state or child death i'm going to heaven i've been saved yeah so on fox and friends earlier this week host rachel campos duffy aka to elder millennials rachel from the real world san francisco okay that season with pedro and puck if you remember that very i can't believe this historic season to me oh Oh, yeah. Rachel Kemp, because she was the conservative on that real-world San Francisco crowd, because she was from Arizona, and she was always like, what the fuck am I doing in San Francisco? That was her energy.

What year was this? This was 91. Is this like the second season? Yeah, this was like, yeah. Well, I was around, but I was one. Okay, okay. Credit to you. Credit to you. Well, I was around, but I was one. Okay, okay. Credit to you. Credit to you.

Well, then you should have been watching. Yeah. I don't think they had MTV in Pakistan at that time. Okay, well, they have it now. So you might want to get. This is classic culture. Anyway, and also her last name is Duffy because she married a dude from Road Rules. Okay, that's like her anyway.

And then she became this like MAGA conservative on TV. She wasn't talking directly about the fires earlier this week. But her words definitely, again, they portray this like fatalistic worldview that comes along with being like one of these Christian nationalists. The idea that, you know, I don't give a fuck about Earth because Heaven. Sometimes, you know, we look at how hard on the left they play. They really play for keeps. They play in a way that's very, you know, a lot of times conservatives look at it and go, why don't we play as hard as them? Well, for them, where we live right now, this place, earth, is it.

So everything's on the line here for them. They think, as you said, they can perfect this earth. Those of us who have faith don't believe that. And we believe how we act here determines where we go after. And so we have to behave. And so even in politics, we don't, you know, we act within those moral limits. And, you know, the ends justify the means is sort of the the rules for radicals i'm so lost the way like it was such a contradiction upon like straw man arguments

too much there so so that's why they're so kind in that part is because we believe what we do on earth determines. Well, fuck earth. But what we do here determines it. That's why we want to pollute it to shit. We want to completely harass other people and villainize them, you know, not be kind or caring. I don't know what the golden

rule is because I have not actually read the Bible, but I do like to use, like i like to evoke the bible for my own lack of morals i guess but yeah that's where they are these radic they're it's like the same way like this is kind of the worldview like in the cold war right like people were like well the soviets aren't going to blow the world up because they believe this is it there's no afterlife like we believe or whatever you know what i mean like it's just a very weird thing of like the enemy has no god yeah that's why they are here wanting to perfect the earth and i'm sorry that's a bad thing we're trying to be good custodians of this fucking

little planet that we're on for a brief fucking moment and i'd most of us are not i'd hope most of us would rather not be contributing to like some fucking system of oppression or pollution or degradation or whatever. like we believe in evil and like are just like can't beat evil so you just gotta like kill it away put it in prison you know like do all that stuff because there's no fixing these people you know right and that that is a like it's kind of a good window into how their minds work and how their worldview works and why they are really dangerous. The wild thing is the end of that quote where she said, where she said the ends justify the means is sort of the rules for radicals. There's,

it got cut off. She continues by saying, that's not how Christians act. Oh, really? Wow. How do we get here? Anyway,

don't worry about it. What's calling colonization at all? Whatever. Wow. How do we get here? Anyway, don't worry about it. What's Colin colonization at all? Whatever. Fine. Do your thing. Do your thing. Rachel Campos. Well, we'd go to break, but we do have to transition from that statement that, you know, Christians are kind and don't believe in ends justify the means to the passing of a man who embodied the opposite of that,

Pat Robertson, just one of the worst pieces of garbage. The only people who seem to be upset about his passing are people who mistakenly thought that Robert Pattinson had died. No. Were there people who were like,

I can't believe it, or they're like, that's a joke, he didn't die it was trending on twitter it is like the the exact opposite pat robertson robert pattinson that's actually really funny yeah i hadn't connected them but yeah robin at shadowcaster 78 said my dyslexic ass thought this said robert pattinson yeah no no it's patterson the bad ones it's pat i mean robertson yeah now you're doing it all right so just a quick greatest hits of this piece of shit so just one thing that makes him like he was still being followed by a lot of people up until the end or like watched by a lot of people sent money by a lot of people he was constantly predicting apocalypses that never came just throughout his life like in 1976 he said the

world was going to end in 1982 so he thought the rapture was going to come before Return of the Jedi ever came out. 1990, he wrote a book claiming the world was going to end in 2007. Just kept predicting the end of the world right up until 2020 when he said that Trump was going to win the election. Oops. And an asteroid was going to destroy us all. So again, just a i don't know interesting insight into how the the minds of the people who who follow him operate which is i guess very forgiving well if the world's gonna end then you know all good yeah that motivates you to be like that's why i'm in this corner because the world about to end are you saved yeah oh wait what happens It just it's the silence after you pass away. of abortion, homosexuality, secular schools and courts, and the American Civil Liberties Union. So the ACLU was to blame for 9-11. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, he's always blamed. It's like women or gay people or Muslims or anybody who is not cis white Christian, like from there. It's like,

oh yeah, the Haitians, you know why they had that earthquake is because they made a deal with the devil back when they fucking liberated themselves from slavery from the french this man really said that shit he said they got an earthquake because they made a deal with the devil to liberate themselves from slavery. And we've only seen, we've talked about this time and again about how the Western world has just fucking like landed knockout blow after knockout blow on Haiti as like a response to them being like, you are the, you are going to be the first and last group of like subjugated people that

will liberate themselves from colonizers. And we're gonna make a fucking example out of you for centuries. It's that it's not, they made a deal with the devil. That that's what happened yeah yeah he he repeatedly attacked muslims islam and the prophet muhammad throughout the years and called the religion a monumental scam and i just want to compare that with uh his charity work uh supporting rwandan refugees in zaire was actually a front for his blood diamond mining operation. Like there's a documentary.

Oh my God. What? That couldn't be the, you couldn't script something more fucking evil than that. So according to Jesse Potts, who served as operations manager for a organization that was helping people after the genocide in 1994. The charity stopped sending medical teams to one of the camps where refugees were being held several weeks into

the operation. And then the film that put all this together alleges that these resources, the donations, the cargo planes, etc., were used for the for-profit African Development Company Limited, a diamond mining operation that was headquartered in Kinshasa while the mining site itself was located in a remote village nearby. Robertson was the sole shareholder and president of african development company ltd rest in piss you fucking loser yeah fucking unbelievable yeah and i mean like just like i remember he said something about how like orlando florida was gonna get hurricanes because disneyland had like a gay like pride night in the 90s yeah and it's like hurricanes hit fucking full okay yeah go ahead it's that too or like eight like that people that with hiv or aids like hivs they were they were transmitting it to straight people as like part of a conspiracy that's all this all these like this people like you know this is i'm done i'm done In a 2013 segment on the 700 Club, he said that gay people have a secret ring that transmits HIV to unsuspecting people they shake hands with.

What? His co-host was like, really? And he said, really? Really? It is that kind of vicious stuff, which would be the equivalent of murder. And then the following year, he warned that towels in Kenya could transmit AIDS. So he just, Oh,

his brain was constantly just churning complete. Yeah. Anti-blackness, anti-black, just homophobia, whatever he needs to do. One time he said you shouldn't even adopt kids. Yeah.

Like that was, he was like, how to take like that. He said you shouldn't even adopt kids. He was like, how to take like that. He said, quote, you just never know what's been done to a child before you get that child. Yeah. Cool, man. Okay. Anyway, it's just, anyway, thank God if you're out there for

taking him, or I'm saying Satan, thank you for reclaiming him and taking him down with you. Appreciate you, Satan. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Captain America. We'll be right back.

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 in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to

now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked voila you got straight away i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and captain america is back as well the new captain america movie i mean it's it's in the works i guess it's a reboot i checked out from the marvel universe but i think they had what happened to chris evans new i don't know i don't know if he was one of the ones that didn't

make it out of oh did he get god in the ones that didn't make it out of any game. Oh, did he get caught in the Avengers? Yeah, I have no idea about any of it. Yeah, me either. I'm like, oh, cool. Like we got Black Captain America. All right. Yeah. I'm like, OK, I don't want to ask about the last one. So the new film was supposed to be titled Captain America, New World Order. Yikes. Which that's a famous New World Order is a famous right wing belief about a powerful, usually Jewish global cabal. And they were like, it has nothing to do with that stuff. It's simply about the new Captain America, Sam Wilson, and how the world has changed around him. And he's a changed man.

So they've changed the title to Captain America America where we go one, we go all. What? No. How is, like, how did they come up with something worse? No, I just made that up. That's like, what? They just, like, went for an even more

explicit QAnon dog whistle. Right. I was like wow yeah it would make sense they want to symbolize something about avengers sticking together so you know where we go one we go all just felt like the right one a phrase they just came up with uh no i i forget what they changed it to it's still uh like brave new world brave new world yeah that's right it is and they're like it's an aldous huxley reference that's also about conspiracies but okay or like you know the gateway to it and then marvel also decided to like balance out name checking an anti-semitic

conspiracy with including a zionist superhero sabrara, a mutant Israeli police officer turned Mossad agent. That is the most horrifying concept of a character right now. All of this sounds like things that are like spoofed in a TV show that like can't be real. Right. It sounds like a character in the boys. Right. You know what I mean?

Like there's like, and then there's Sabra. Yeah. Who's like a mutant, like Mossad agent. And agent and you're like oh no what do they do what status quo are they holding up how do they have this character and not talk about like the fascism of like massad and like the right in israel like how how does that how do you even think that that's a possibility? The name itself is a major problem. Sabra is a reference to the Sabra cactus, which became a symbol of loss and steadfastness to Palestinians following the Bush's resilience during the Nakba in 1948 and making it extra insensitive in 1982, two years after the introduction of the Sabra character in Marvel Comics, the Israelis massacred hundreds of people into Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, one of which was named Sabra.

So people are like, yeah, maybe we don't do what you want to do with that. What do you want to do with that? Yeah. How are they like? They're like, don't worry. She's not going to mention Palestine in the movie. So just get over it. Yeah.

That's how we're going to excuse it. They tried to defend the backlash by claiming that the character of Sabra would be freshly imagined for the screen. And today's audience with the filmmakers taking a new approach. So, oh, I don't know. Maybe she'll just be the heiress to the sabra hummus empire or something yeah that would work yeah it feels like they're like oh yeah no no nothing like that that's just her name because her family's in the hummus business that's all that's all right yeah like the first the intro to the character is also just so grim too like it's like that

like when they created the characters like they know better or like they understand the geopolitical situation but also quite don't want to like wade into it fully yeah yeah her first introductions in an incredible hulk comic and like has hulk screaming at her for not giving a shit about a literal dead Palestinian child like in the frame with her as she's being introduced. It's just boy died because boys people and yours both want to own land. Boy died because

you wouldn't share and like the Hulk is in tears and the Hulk is crying. Boy died because of two old books that say his people and yours must fight and kill for land and this is like i don't know yeah but i guess that did somewhat like i don't know get through to the character but again they don't even actually you know they never actually refer to the child as like being

palestinian yeah just arab assassins or terrorists so it's like jesus yeah you really did a number child dies in a fight with arab assassins in in the context of of the book you almost you almost did it hulk you almost with the writers that when you almost got there you almost got there yeah but then you fell back on the old habits huh so the brave new world obviously a reference to aldous huxley's classic dystopian novel which maybe not coincidentally may have helped to inspire the new world order conspiracy theory so they're like we're not gonna like not touch it we're just gonna not explicitly like say that that's what we're doing here but right i wonder who is like actually cast oh it's gonna be uh israeli actress shira haas okay interesting i hope she was a former massad agent right in order to kind of keep it

like authentic but we'll see we shall see it's just i mean it's it's just so funny when like like comics like sometimes they can have like a really good message like when you know the writers are like trying to make a point but it's so wild that frame where it's like oh my god yo talk about the fucking you know israeli occupation please go off honey and then you're like but then they were terrorists you like you fucking wrote this right fucking wrote this then The NSA? The CIA? Vaguely Arab assassins, which has something in common with Top Gun Maverick, which is just like, it's not really a country, so to speak. It's more a collection of people who are trying to enrich plutonium. Right, right. We won't say anyone's name.

But you guys get it. You know, maybe we had a deal with them. Mountainous region. I don't know if you're picking up what we're putting down here. Oh, wait. Turn on the radio. And I ran. I ran so far away. Okay.

You guys get it? Okay. All right. Well, Neha, such a pleasure having you, as always. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Yeah, so people can find me on Instagram at Neha Aziz and Twitter at Neha Aziz 13. You can find my podcast at 1947pod on Twitter and Partition Podcast on Instagram. on Instagram. And the podcast is about the 1947 partition of India and the formation of Pakistan, which celebrated its 75th anniversary last year. Well, I don't think celebrate is the right word,

but it took place 75 years ago from last year. And, you know, I talked to my relatives. I was born in Pakistan. So it was just like a really interesting thing to delve into. And then you can find my film, which we are making at the end of July, possibly early August. So that happened film on Instagram. And we are still crowdfunding. So we miraculously got funded in three days. We got $15,000, which is amazing. But now we're trying to stretch our goal to 20K

because like 15K was like the bare minimum we could make this movie along with another grant that I got. And it's still going for two more weeks. So you can find all that information at So That Happened Film on Instagram. And also, yeah, check the web. They'll link also for you in the footnotes.

So you can just, you know, click through it. Yeah, get in know click yeah yeah get in on the ground so good everybody should go check it out yeah and is there a work of media that you've been enjoying yeah so um i actually use this film as like a reference for my film uh it's called past lives it is so good, so beautiful. I saw it at Sundance. I saw it again last week because one of the film festivals I work for in Austin, we did an advanced screening with A24 at our local art house. And it's out in New York. It's out in California. And I think it is playing in Austin, some other places, but it's kind of like a slow rollout, but it's written and directed by Celine Song. She's a playwright. And it's just kind of about like the things that I love about relationships changing over time, kind of like where you are in your current life versus like what could happen in the future and like things in the past. Like if you just like stayed in a

certain place, like what would your life be like? And it's just so beautiful. And, and like the writing is so amazing. And I suggest like everyone watch it. It's so good. I think it's just now opening wide. Like, and,

and the, I think it has the highest Metacritic score of like any movie. I don't doubt that. Yeah. It's got a 92 on Metacritic. It's crazy. Amazing. Miles, where can people find you?

Is there a work of media you've been enjoying? Twitter, Instagram at Miles of Gray. Basketball Talk. That's Miles and Jack got mad. Boosties, our other podcast.

W-A-L-Y. And the track is called Balotelli. Like Mario Balotelli, the soccer player. And it's dope. I don't know. Whenever I hear French rap, I don't know what they're saying. But it sounds cool. So let me know if you're a Francophone and you're like, oh, no, you don't want to be.

You don't want to be singing this song. But anyway, the beat is cool. So check out Balotelli by Prince Wally. Balotelli. Mario, not to be confused with Mario Batali. No, no. Mario Balotelli, who is a Ghanaian Italian soccer player. Much cooler.
