What if we started a beef with Kendrick guys, I feel like that could go well for us. If we just started talking shit about Kendrick. From now Jack is just. What did I miss? Jack's got it. I miss. He's being held by his ankles over a fucking building. Strap to his abdomen.

He just drew on some abs. Drawn on abs. Huge. What did I miss you guys? abs drawn on abs. What did I miss? You guys massive facts. What did I miss? The fuck, LeBron? You're on the call. Well, the LeBron, you're in my house looking at hoes. What the fuck happened? Good thing I turned my tattoo into Shay Gilder's Alexander.

Oh, my God. That's the saddest shit, bro. Did he do that? He stretched out LeBron's tattoo and put it in SGA. And it looks like shit. It just says what does it say? It says number two and it just is thunder to it. It just says thunder. It's like a broke like like a bootleg poster

that you would get from a reading fair. It looks like, you know, how like when like a player leaves a team and fans get pissed so they alter the jersey to like something else. That's what it looks like, you know how like when like a player leaves a team and fans get pissed, so they alter the jersey to like something else. That's what it looks like. It looks like a sort of spite fan Jersey remix, but it's your fucking tattoo body. I mean, the LeBron one wasn't great either. It just said like Irish and whatever that number was in St.

Vincent, St. Mary's. I was going to say, I don't think he's Irish. But you think that's what Drake thought? He's like, he's Irish. Do this guy's Irish. That's what you told me. Irish. So you hear about how oppressed the Irish were in America? I get it, bro. See, I'm looking for other biracial. Wonder if Drake saw centers.

No, he probably just turned it off the second it got uncomfortable for him, right? He's like now I'm good. Who's this shit? So the second it got uncomfortable for him was the cunnilingus scene Pleasuring women Hello the internet and welcome to this week trend edition of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist! This is a production of My Heart Radio, this podcast where we tell you what was trending over the weekend on this fine Monday morning. My name is Jack O'Brien, that over there is Mr. Miles Gray! I always feel awkward when you give me the like the big announcement for this one because I have no aka

I'm just some fucking guy, you know, I need to turn my game down just a little bit Just a wee bit here. Sorry about that Brian. You tell me if I'm cooking too. Look, I'm I was listening that cook cooking too hard I'm just fucking cooking. Okay, that's right. Unlike fucking Kendrick, let's do it. Let's start the fucking beef. Have you, all right, all right, exact gang, this is the new deal. Obviously we respect Kendrick Lamar, but just to kind of get our numbers up,

we're thinking about starting a beef with Kendrick so he addresses the show. I feel like that usually goes well for the people of the mod. Just. Kendrick just does some dark research on me. He's like, you had your heart broken by a loser at 22. And I'm like, oh. In a chipotle.

Cry over your burrito bowl. I'm like. I feel like we'd be hard to just like destroy because we're so open with what losers we are, but I don't know. I'm sure you find a way. All right. Well, this is the episode where we

tell you what's trending. Obviously, we're going to get into Trump's big statement. The man knows politics. Man's a political genius and his base was getting a great revved up about this Epstein thing. And he said, who's who's

Epstein? What's what's what's what's what's what's what's guys a loser that nobody cares about.

All of that, plenty more, but first we like to get to know each other, get to know ourselves a little bit better by telling you stuff that we think's overrated

and underrated. This is our chance to get in, to get some stuff off our chest that's just been cheesing us off. Grindin' my gears. That's a lot of buildup for what my overrated and underrated are. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of pretty stupid.

Miles, what is, what's something you think's underrated? You just shoved me out there. It's probably not great. All right, Miles, what are you cheesing at? Anyways, this is all very important. My overrated's mineral sunscreens. I'm actually really interested in that. We'll get to that.

Yeah, yeah. That's kind of called a tease, but a really bad one. It's a tease, baby. My underrated is ideating in the twilight or scientifically known as the hypnagogic sort of sleep dimension that we are in. Not the twilight of one's life, the twilight of one's day.

As you go sleepy, sleepy, just that liminal period. As your body dumps the nice brain chemicals into those naturally occurring drugs that our body gives us that send us off to sleep, send us off to a land where we're just hallucinating. We're like, oh, I had a weird dream. There are times, you know what?

I think this is now inspiring me to a point I'm like, I think I need to really lean into the ideas that come out in that period because there are a lot of times I go, yo, is this a good idea? And then I'm like, is there something there? And then just gone. Is that something? And then what the fuck was that idea that I had?

He was like, there are moments like, yo, you're fucking cooking, bro. And then next thing you know, beep, sleep. Because they say a lot of people, keep a notebook by your bed. It's like a lot of creative people do is like, yo, those ideas you get as you're falling asleep, write those shits down.

I sleep with a razor, keep it under my tongue. But yeah, you do you, I guess. You got the, okay, you got the ox in your mouth. My shit's hard. In case you have to buck 50 somebody. No, my shit is really hard. I'm very dehydrated. I need more fiber. But yeah, as I was doing that last night,

I solved two like dumb household mystery issues in quick succession during this like liminal, hypnagogic phase of me about to fall asleep. And I annoyingly kept waking up her majesty to tell her. I know. I was like, I was like, babe, babe, babe.

She's like, what? Miles, are you trying to say specific again? Specific. Specific. No, I was like, I figured it out. I figured it out. She's like, oh, okay. Thank you.

And then I was like, I got another one. thing out. She's like, oh, OK. And then I was like, I got another one. I got another one. She's like, what? This is what we do for this thing. I got that. I figured it out. I solved it. We've been trying to think about this for days. So she was impressed, though.

Again, do not ask me what these ideas were. They were not good, but specific to my situation. You weren't you weren't discovering the molecular structure of benzene? No, no. Like how that was like the first person to really come upon that. August Cuculli. Oh, yeah. Cuculli. Yeah, yeah. Cuculli dozed off by the fire, dreamt of a snake eating its own tail,

woke up and was like, that's it. That's benzene because Edison did it. that's it. That's benzene. Cause Edison did it. Einstein did it. Yeah. It is really, okay. I'll be, look, this is what's going on. I think we're gonna move to a new place. Hell yeah.

And we've been, you know, trying to find a new place to like settle into because right now we're at, it's very temporary and like kind of, I'm recording in a very small closet. I do not have sunlight touch my body for most of the day. It's really fucked up. very small closet. I do not have sunlight touch my body for most of the day. It's really fucked up.

And this place has like this like these banisters or like there's like a there's like a it's like a townhouse. You might move into. Yeah, there's like it's like a townhouse that has like a balcony. But there are these there's like a railing that have like horizontal rails. And like, oh, shit, the guys how might be fucking doing some cliffhanger shit trying to climb up that.

So we were like, this is where this is why it's stupid. We're like, oh, the people who lived there previously clearly put plexiglass because they also had kids there. Yeah. And we went and like I asked a like a, you know, a handy person. I'm like, yo, what would it cost to do this as a six grand to do it on like a few different ones? I say, what the fuck? Yeah. And we were like, bro, what would it cost to do this as a six grand to do it on like a few different ones I say what the fuck yeah, and we're like, well, we ain't got that. So in my hypnagogic sleep, I said What if there was just thin plastic we could zip tie around?

This is just some shit that exists that's just called like banister guard like for many American houses but like again this wasn't a great idea but I just went there has to be an alternative and it came out so elegantly I feel like you get a good like handyman who just works hourly and you go in there together and just be like how are we gonna solve this yeah yeah you know what I mean I asked a contractor to come by and that's the wrong type of gig for somebody who like builds a house or like, yeah, I can reinforce this shit. When really, I just needed to be like, I could have just put grease on it. So his feet like slipped off.

He actually had literal dollar signs where his eyes were. It was crazy. He's like, oh, yeah, we got one. I got to use this joke from Brian Walton, hypnagogans over here. Yeah, that's why I had to. I shout out to Brian. Yeah, that's cool, man. Yeah, that's I agree that like sometimes it's good to listen to those dreams. And sometimes there's another story where the guy who like created the first neurotransmitter was like having a dream about a frog's

heart, but like he jotted down notes. He had the dream, jotted down notes in the middle of the night, went back to sleep the next morning, could not understand what the fuck he was talking about when he wrote it down. I was like, what? Then the next night he had the same dream again. So his dreams were persistent. But that even fucks me up even more because like I've written stuff down

in my sleep and woken up the next day and been like, that makes no sense. And the neurotransmitter Frogheart guy suggests that like there was something there. Right, right, right. I just like couldn't get gave up on it. Yeah. Fuck. Anyways, I'll figure out this cold fusion thing later. It is just be waking up at that point

where you're like about drifting off to sleep is kind of nice because it does just give you such an appreciation for how fucked up we get every night when we go to sleep. Like just how nice sleep is. Yeah. All right. Great. Underrated. My underrated is just like combinations of technology and nature. There's that famous tweet from Matt Sorenstein that's like, can we get some AI to pick plastic out of the ocean or do all the robots need to be screenwriters? I feel like that's true in a deeper way than like just a tweet like it's wild to me that we have a single like

existential problem facing all of mankind at a time of you know, some technological Capabilities like we're we've had some cool breakthroughs and it's definitely stagnated a bit. But I wonder if it's stagnated a bit because everybody's just trying to... They're only focused on creating something that will impress Wall Street, which for whatever reason is like a personal pan cult leader and like in check in like a C plus screenplay generator. Right, right, right. And a thing that itself contributes to the crisis. It just I don't know.

It just feels like that is a bigger deal. Better use than we realize that like, we have this problem, we have technology and we're using the technology to make the problem worse. Yeah, it's just, it's the short-sightedness of capitalism where it's like, go on. It's like, no, no, no, we gotta make a shitload of money right now, no matter what. We gotta make a thing that does the worst thing

that the internet does and like makes, does like racial slurs and stuff. We need to empower terrible open mic comedians who should be going back into the shadows and reconsidering their careers. We want to enable them. That's right. To make them believe they have genius creativity levels.

Yes. But I just, like, some of the, I was just thinking about the stuff that, and this isn't like, this isn't solving climate change or anything, but just like, when people use technology creatively with nature, it's so fun. Like the, you know, I've talked before about like that Merlin app that is basically Shazam for bird calls.

That you are not an investor in. That I'm not an investor in. I like they're on some Wikipedia shit. They're just like, hey, could you like loan us $15? We're in a bad way. Yeah, right. It's funny that like all the best shit that the internet or like modern technology has created

is all on that same plan of like, look, man, we we need some money. We know you like this product. Like, please just loan us like give us some money, please. Right. Right. Right. There. Another thing I saw over the weekend was just somebody put a GoPro on their cat's head and like those are always fun. Answered one of the great questions of all time, which is like, where the fuck are they always going in such a hurry? And you just like, you see that the cat is like has his little spots.

First of all, he's like tightrope walking all over the fucking place on like first of all, on beans on beans. And then just has like various other cats that they're going to meet in like dark alleyways or like behind in like little like glens in between buildings where they just like go and like lick each other's faces. And you know how like meow that they say that the meow is made specifically to for humans like they're doing that for us because they know it sounds a little bit like a baby whining.

And so it like hacks us. Like, it's interesting the sounds they make when it's just them. Yeah. Like, what's up, homie? One of them said it's straight up just like an alien. I was like, what the fuck was that? Yeah. Yeah, it was wild. But anyways, take it. There's an app called Seek that is pretty great.

That just, you take a picture of something and it tells you like what the plant is. It's like one of my kid's favorite apps. Oh, I have a plant identifying app like that too. Cause that I was going through a run of buying flowers for her majesty that were toxic for cats. Right. And people were like, no, I don't think it is. And there were too many times where were like, no, I don't think it is.

And there were too many times where a floor is like, I don't think it is. And then I would bring it back to like, this is, this will kill a cat. Right. And it wasn't just lilies, but anyway. And you're not an investor in that app either? I'm not an investor in any app.

Miles, what's something you think's overrated? Dude, fucking bed sheets don't fit the mattresses anymore. I don't know why. Okay, pre-fire, I was on a queen. Post-fire, I had a king-size mattress donated to us. I was like, fuck yeah. And then people donate a ton of bedding. Great.

The thing is, there's like a real wide range of what fits a king size mattress. I did not have this problem with a queen size mattress. I have ones that are so fucking baggy. They look like MC Hammer pants on the fucking mattress. And by the end of it, like I'm like, oh, I guess I'm in the top sheet. No, that's how much loose fitted sheet I'm sleeping within. You just rolled in the fitted sheet.

I don't know what's going on. Cause I was looking up because again, we'd have, we haven't bought any sheets. Like we got a ton of stuff donated to us. And I was looking at certain brands. Some brands have like, it'll fit a King or California King. I'm like, we don't, what the fuck? Why? Those are two different sizes. Exactly. This isn't like a neoprene compression sleeve where it's like, this will fit a medium to a large like knee. No. Like what happened to Stan? I don't know. I'm, I'm, my mind is blown because I hate the feeling of loose fitted sheets. I bought sheet suspenders to

try and keep the shits on the mattress. They fucking barely work. Sheet suspen- oh, so they're like down below underneath, like connecting the two? Yeah, exactly. Like my sock garters that I wear? Exactly, that you still wear it. Even with shorts, I say, I don't know when you're hooping that you need to wear those, but hey, to each their own.

And I even got this other fucking thing that all these people swore by, that's like this plastic frame that you then like lock a sheet into. It's all fucking bullshit It's all fucked up Anyway, so I'm over that shit and it looks like gang Shout out to y'all because you've given me so many tips from my child's sleep progressions to even my wrist pain

Shout out to the other person who was like, just rest it, that is true. I've just been resting it, it's gotten much better. Shout out to everybody who said, just stop playing PlayStation. You're right, okay. You sound like the doctor. I agree.

Who gave that advice? Fuck that advice. Like everyone who's experienced this, to like, you need to give your nerves a break. And I'm like, ah. You need to switch hands, man. Start playing upside down and it'll work different. Right. To balance it out.

Different muscles. But anyway, if you got sheet tips, please just, I'm all ears. Yeah. I'm going to do another, I'm going to do a consumer based one also, but if anybody's got some recgies, would love to hear it. Mineral sunscreens, I apply these.

They're just, I don't know, it's like a type of sunscreen that has become more prominent in the past year, I guess. I just, now they're in our sunscreen rotation. I apply these to my kids and then I have to spend the rest of the morning like wiping for prints. Like I just committed a murder. Like I keep like the wet wipes on me, but it just like it's so hard to get off your hands and then it just gets fucking everywhere.

Really? Yeah. I don't know. Wait, what does it look like? It's just like, is it like a sink? Yeah, it's like white and like kind of runny. So it leaves a residue? Yeah, it just leaves a dew, man.

Oh, wait, is there like, I'm sure, I'm imagining this isn't you, this is your wife, who is more into the skincare game than you. Look, I'm not trying to. Yeah, I think there's like some skincare reason for mineral sunscreen. Yeah, yeah, okay. Like part of me is like, and I don't know why,

but I'm sure that's why. Like part of me is like, and I don't know why, but I'm sure that's why. Yeah. And I'm like, you know, in an ideal world, I would like apply it five minutes before we're going out the door to like take my kids to camp and then like wash my hands and then, you know, leave, have them stand perfectly still so that it could like dry on them. But like that just is never what works. They're not standing still.

They're not like, they're not remembering not to like sit on shit after you apply it to them. So I have to apply it as we're going out the door or what I started doing is just applying it when we get to the camp, like outside the car. But then I don't, all I have is like little hand wipe things. And those are insufficient to like get all the sunscreen off. And then I'm yeah, it's like I'm like, you know, wiping my fingerprints off of everything like I committed a murder and made and like that.

And really, we're not talking about whether I have or have not. Right, right, right. That's that's brave of you to even bring that up on the podcast. I guess they say, I'm just looking at that, it's better for sensitive skin and for children. We do have some of that going on in our household. We do have sensitive children mineral skin. Sensitive skin.

I have sensitive mineral skin in our household. Yeah, so I don't know. If you got recommendations, so what I've done, I've gone from putting it on before, like trying to let it dry, but then they will like sit on something that they shouldn't and there's white residue.

I've done it right before we leave, but then it gets all over the inside of the car, have to wipe the car down. Now I've done, I think the best option is do it at camp, like right when we get out and then just do my best to not touch anything. Just do you hear the car with my knee and forehead on the way? Do you have a leaf blower?

I do. Just fucking like use that to like a badger. To dry them off. Miles, I will use that for anything, to dry them off. Miles, I will use that for anything. Any excuse I have. I have like a plug-in leaf blower that is the most fun invention. Dude, your kids will love it.

They're like, all right, turn around. We gotta drive this up. It's a real like Steve Martin in parenthood shit. But it just feels like, okay, so full disclosure, I was using, I was trying a new deodorant because I have armpits that can defy even modern American chemists. There's an arms race between your armpits.

Yeah, exactly. Proctor and gable. It's an underarms race. Yeah. Hey. And I've, there's one that I tried, like you have to kind of let it dry. And then, so I started using Her Majesty's hair, hair was like a blow dryer.

The cool hairdryer thing. To let that shit evaporate properly. And I'm like, sorry. And I'm not even, I'm not even in a hypnagogic state right now, but I think you should be leaf blower drying the kids with the mineral sunscreen so they dry quicker. That's right.

Boom. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back And we're back we're back and Yeah, so Donald Trump is Having his first real test with the bass I feel like this is the most out on him with the base, I feel like. This is the most out on him

that his base has ever been, right? Yeah, until, I mean, not even the fucking Medicaid cuts are gonna hit at a point where I think people will be able to connect the dots, but the Epstein, go away, bye-bye job they tried to do to just fucking do the neuralyzer from Men in Black on everyone in the country Yeah, that's not going well at all. Like he's trying to defend Pam Bondi. They they're calling her Pam Blondie now

They have bad nicknames for her. They're telling her to get the fuck out It's just and now they're they're struggling to explain this thing away like they're trying everything and so he put this desperate to explain this thing away. Like they're trying everything. And so he put this desperate fucking post on Truth Social over the weekend that many have pointed out, this is the first like real tangible ratio he's gotten in terms of people just replying like,

fuck out of here, like on this post. Other times he's- He almost felt like he had this written for when they released it and he was on the client log, you know, like, like he, he was like, he threw in there like this, this list was, these files were made by Obama, crooked Hillary, Comey Brennan and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration. Like just preemptive fucking excuse. The other preemptive thing that scared the shit out of me is like he is like we

should what we should be focusing on is how they tried to steal the twenty twenty four election, which feels like, oh, they're that's going to be their big agenda for the next. When I when I read that, I was like, is this prediction or projection? Right. You know, like, cause it, or maybe both. Yeah. He's like, I mean, we, who knows what the fuck we, maybe we did, I don't know.

I didn't say who they was, you know. But they, Elon and his boys, who knows? I feel like that is going to become more and more necessary for them to say, look, we've looked into the last two elections, they're both stolen or attempted to be stolen by the Democrats. Therefore we can't have elections going forward because he is in a bad place when it comes to popularity.

Yeah. And not that it, yeah. I mean, I think it would matter if we thought, oh, they will face whatever happens in what's traditionally a democratic election, TBD. But yeah, the way he's acting doesn't seem like like he's like, let's just go deeper. Let's just dig the hole deeper and deeper and deeper. It's a good reminder that he's a terrible liar.

Like, I guess I knew that from like back in the day when he created. What was that guy's name? Like John Baron? Yeah. Where you would like call the newspaper and be like, hi, this is John Baron. I heard Trump has biceps, like Christmas hams. He's really ripped when his shirt's off. Like he'd be surprised. Oh yeah, his arms are honey coated and lightly caramelized from the honey when they bake it in the baking process.

Are you describing a honey baked ham? I hear his penis is described as surprisingly unlike a mushroom. Unfungi like. But this is the thing, this, I just want to read a little bit of this post because it's frantic. It's frantic. Here we go. Quote, what's going on with my boys and in some cases gals and in some cases. What does that even mean?

What the fuck, dude? I don't even know. So quote boys and in some cases, quote gals. Gals. They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bundy, who's doing a all caps, fantastic job. Exclamation. We're on one team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening.

We have a all caps caps perfect, perfect administration. All the talk of the world and quote selfish people are trying to hurt it all over a guy who never dies. Jeffrey Epstein for years. It's like starts into being like a burn book about Epstein where he's like, this guy never dies. Am I right? Folks.

It's like, I think you've misjudged people's interest in this and like what their interests are. And what you're like, what the like the propaganda machine around your movement has been doing to people in relation to Epstein. Like you've been this is this is like the Wizard of Oz to them. Like and you're like, there is no wizard. Don't even look back there. It doesn't even matter. Let's just go about our business. the ill big road. He said,

for years it's Epstein over and over again, why are we giving publicity to files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the losers and criminals of the Biden administration who conned the world with Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, 51 intelligence agents, the laptop from hell, and more? They created the Epstein files just like they created the fake Hillary, Clinton, Christopher Steele dossier that they used on me, and more, they created the upscene files. Just like they created the fake Hillary Clinton Christopher Steele dossier that they used on me. And now my so-called, quote, friends are playing right into their hands.

Why didn't these radical left lunatics release the upscene files? If there was anything in there that could have hurt the magma movement, why didn't they use it? They haven't even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King Jr. files. No, no matter how much success we've had, securing the border, deported criminals,

fixing the economy, energy. Like, this is, I'm not even criminals, fixing the economy. Like this is, I'm not even halfway through this. Yeah. He's, and this is the face of this thing. Yeah. He's flying on Sudafed or whatever the fucking thing he gets. He just goes on, let Pam Bondi do her job. She's great. Uh huh. One year ago, our country was dead. Now it's the quote, hottest country anywhere in the world. Are you talking about literally measurable heat waves?

Let's keep it that way and not waste time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. I want that's my highlight of the thing and not waste time about Jeffrey Epstein. Somebody nobody cares about. It really feels like, you know, mean girls when the main mean girls like kind of losing her grip at the end. Yeah. Like who this loser who nobody cares about. Am I right, girls? Everybody come with me.

It's Regina mixed with I think you should leave hot dog suit guy. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like you're doing it all, man. And it just it's a bad look. Also, they're starting to, like, if you look at the comments there, and like I was going all through the, the dawn, like the MAGA subreddits too, it's all some version of, you know, I really don't like what he's trying to do.

Like, like there couldn't be anything more MAGA than going after Epstein and finding, and unmasking the pedophiles that are involved with. Right. That's like the whole thing was built around you being this fictional character created by Q or you are Q like going and like unmasking the big pedophilia conspiracy. And now the first chance that you have to like actually do that shit,

be about that thing that everybody thought you were and like turned you into a fictional character who was like fighting on behalf of children. You are acting the most guilty anyone has ever acted. Just so what do you wait? Why is everybody looking at this guy? He's a loser. To just like try to will the idea that nobody cares about Epstein into existence is so funny. Yeah, exactly.

But it's like what he's been able to do. It's it's very like CEO energy where like a CEO is surrounded by like yes men telling him like how how hot his company is. And he's just so used to just anybody believing anything he says that he just like comes in and says shit that like makes absolutely no sense you know yeah but I mean I don't know like they were literally hosting parties together you know we are the co-hosts of a party where we had 28 women come through and I was biting my bottom lip like a true pervert.

Yeah, just so gross. Yeah, like this combined with like his previous statements or or their like official finding, I think it was where they were like here. He's like, these files are dangerous. And then elsewhere in the official findings, they were like, what if someone had like lunch with him? They're going to look guilty and they didn't do anything. It just like makes it so clear.

Okay, well, I think you could probably suss that out with the evidence. You're like, they had lunch, no other thing was found. But then maybe it's the other parts. But he's like in the flight logs, right? Like, you know he's there. They're acting as if that's what's in there when really it's probably going to be a very vivid,

I mean, we've already had other accusers like Donald Trump already has plenty of documented accusers, but it's just going to be something that when you read in a document, you go, oh, okay, that's not lunch. Yeah, it's a long lunch, a three day lunch on an island that's been nicknamed by locals, Petafiland? Yeah, we have the opportunity for like a real Watergate scandal here. Unfortunately, The Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos at the moment, but I don't know. Like this feels like there's just like a ton of smoke.

People aren't going to just let this die. And I feel like they're too incompetent to successfully like cover it up. So I don't know. This feels like there might be something there. It's funny how people, I'm just reading some of the comments right now and are conservative and it's some version of like, I mean, he's really got to let Pam Bondi go. This is going to erode a lot of trust.

And this is this is really bad look for for Trump right now. And it just said, how bad are Democrats? So bad that this incident isn't even remotely in the ballpark of something that would change my vote. So you're still like, nice try, assholes. It's just nice. I'm on the is is going to see a woman and she blonde. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oof. I'm beyond pissed at this. We've been promised by the FBI director, the attorney general and deputy director of the FBI over and over again, we were promised by Trump. Now we get, why are you still on this? And literally accused of being heartless for asking, fuck Trump for this,

but I still support much of what he's doing. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it ain't- Powerful to tell like racist people that what they believe is not racist. You know, they're going to they're going to go to the end of the world. It's the hard thing where it's like they can't be like, OK, well, I can. I'll try and make my racism a virtue, but I'll try and draw a line at pedophilia and sexual violence.

Hmm. Let's just start. Let's just go with pedophilia. Just this one thing. Can you not be guilty of this one thing? And even then I'll still say, well, it's still not as bad as the Democrats. Right. I don't know. It's just a little bit of a wobble.

We'll see. Will it be enough? I don't know. It's interesting. Well, yeah. I mean, obviously there's some incriminating shit here. Whether we're able to like ever get to the bottom of it really depends on like, I don't know,

how buttoned up his internal team is. And how good the paper shredders are over there. That's right. I feel like the fact that his internal team on the Pentagon side was like celebrating that like they completed a successful military mission without it being leaked. Right. Might be a good indication that there might be more to come on this story.

Yeah. There's probably some guy named like Dickfoot who's taking pictures of the documents on his iPhone. Like as we speak. Yeah. Dude, I just snapped a bunch of photos of him, dude. Nobody's even fucking looking. That's so true. They like just had all those like 20 year olds in the fucking wait house,

like running shit. The guy running counterterrorism is 22. They're online. They know what's interesting. Like, oh yeah, they know how to get clout. That's a dangerous combination. A generation addicted to clout on social media, having access to sensitive information. on social media, having access to sensitive information.

It's also pretty desperate that like he also spent the weekend just being like Rosie O'Donnell, which she's she's bad. And we got to kick her out because of the this is a quote because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interest of our great country. What Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interest of our great country. What? Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interest of our great country. Yep. She is not in the intro. That's a verb?

Right. Is that how that would work? Like a piece of legislation. Rosie O'Donnell. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm giving serious consideration to taking away her citizenship. Oh.

Yeah, it feels like this is going to be the move where it's like incriminating shit comes out and then he does something he needs to survive and like against the law to distract people from the thing that he did that was against the law that is like not popular with voters. It'll only be a distraction for like the liberals, right? Because that stuff, the MAGA people don't usually report on or they just stop talking about it. So I'm curious because people are not relenting.

We'll talk about this more in tomorrow's episode. Like the base is not letting up on this. Now, again, I don't think this is going to make much of a difference But it is a very very different kind of inflection point where people are like But you got us hooked on this thing and now it's going away I'm sure it'll be like anything like a toddler who watches too much tv like the first 20 minutes will be crying and then they'll just figure it out and start. Yeah Sucking their racist thumbs again. That's right. Uh. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back

And we're back we're back and the ice raids yeah just Continue a pace. Yeah, just continue apace. Yeah. Tragically too. So over the weekend, there was another mass kidnapping in Ventura County as ICE goons descended on people working on farms, trying to provide for themselves and their families. And one man, Jaime Alanis, tragically fell from a roof of a greenhouse as the chaos unfolded and eventually succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

This is the first quote documented death that resulted from an ICE raid, but considering how terrible the statistics that are being kept about this are, it's hard for me to wrap my head around that considering like the math they were doing on people who died in ICE custody. Either way, this man was sending money back

to his family in Mexico. That he wasn't some criminal. He was just, again, trying to avoid being kidnapped for trying to exist in a country that was more than willing to exploit his labor. And then a few, like naturally this led to a protest. People began gathering around this farm, like where the raid was taking place. A few people were arrested for quote, assaulting ICE agents. And footage also emerged of a guy allegedly firing a gun at the agents.

Something that I'm afraid will happen again as people are confronted with such extreme state sanctioned violence. But yeah, right now they're trying to find like this one guy who they said was shooting a gun in their direction that no one was hit. And this way of going about the raids that is purely just like, well, we'll go to a place where we think people who are immigrants are working

or we'll go to places where people who look like immigrants are existing and we will just do mass roundups because we have to be arresting 3,000 people a day, which they are still not doing. That's their rule. Yeah. At the very least, a California judge did order to stop ICE from just racially profiling people. Now, whether or not that order holds, we'll see, because again, the Supreme Court is more than willing

to just be like, yeah, just do whatever the fuck you guys want, man. Let Donald Trump cook. We're not even relevant as a court anymore if we're just gonna say, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever, just ignore us. The judge issued two temporary restraining orders. One bars agents from targeting individuals

based on race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish or English with an accent or presence in specific locations such as bus stops, car washes, or agricultural sites, or just the type of employment. The second would require DHS to provide access to attorneys for those who are arrested. But again, don't tell Tom Homan that about the, he got really upset about the thing that they were profiling. Okay, Tom Homan is the border czar, if you remember. And he's also the answer to the question,

what would a guy look like if they were a toenail at the end of a penis? That's what he is. And he was on CNN swearing up and down that they don't just go after people because, you know, they're looking like that they're illegal. We actually have a lot of reasonable suspicion when we do this. It's very, a lot of research is happening.

But here's a clip from fucking three days ago before this judge made the decision. And he's essentially saying, yeah, man, we just like look for people that are brown at Home Depot. But he says it in a very elegant way. Here's Tom Homan actually saying that, yeah, this is kind of how we find people. Based on the location, the occupation, the physical appearance.

Location, occupation, physical appearance. Their actions, their accents. A uniformed board of trustees walks up to them, at, for instance, a Home Depot. And they got all these articulable facts, plus a person- Articulable facts. Articulable, that's a hell of a way to say the word articulable.

Yeah, he is absolutely again just saying that's what our criteria is Where are you at? It's not like responding specifically to that statement What is there really? That's why I was saying articulable facts was it not that that's not what we were doing because that's illegal obviously We're not gonna be doing that not that that's not what we were doing because that's illegal. Obviously, we're not going to be doing that. I don't know why I feel like every person you don't want to have a conversation with at a bar talks like Tom Homan does. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's just a good, I think a good, like evolutionary trait to have to be like, oh, get away from this person, get away from them. And then nobody ever like pushes back on anything they say because everyone's like, oh, Jesus Christ He's still talking about getting all over me. There's an article will facts You know if I looked at your body type what I just like from like the front of their mouth It's like deep throat spit. Yeah, it's like coming out there. God yeah, as we talked about last week like the assaulting agents should be put in the

Heaviest of scare quotes like it's anybody who resists arrest. Pulling your arm back from being dragged away. You see what these arrests look like. They're just horrifying. Like people are terrified because they're just being disappeared for looking a certain way. You know, major league baseball is now telling the players

to walk around with their documents. Jesus Christ. That's where it's at. Yeah. Now, it feels like it's an attempt to start a civil war, like a provocation to like get people, you know, that you were talking about, the person like shooting at them like that feel they're being as out and flagrant and terrifying as they possibly can. And I think they want this to continue to escalate.

Like they want what you know, they want the burning way most so that the mainstream media has that show. So people can be like, wow, it's really out of hand in L.A. Are you guys safe? Yeah, no, exactly. I mean, it is. Yeah, we may well and truly be in our second antebellum period. The yeah, nobody's nobody's reaching out being like, are you guys safe now as people are fucking dying?

And it's just the burning waymos is what gets the attention from the mainstream media. All right, the new Superman movie did really well in the United States over the weekend. I feel like maybe it might not have been the best timing for a anything from America, movie or just anything overseas right now. I was just like, think about that watching Wimbledon, like any American athlete must just be like, fuck. Yeah, it sucks. Like, it just kind of hates us shielding your eyes to be like, don't worry about me. I'm not from there. Yeah. Yeah.

But anyways, it did really well in America. hates us. Shielding your eyes to be like, don't worry about me. I'm not from there. Yeah. Yeah. But anyways, it did really well in America. It made 122 million at the domestic box office, which is the third best opening of the year, made slightly less than expected internationally, probably for the reason it's like a very America coded superhero. And maybe people aren't in the mood for that. But it also apparently, like one of the most surprising parts of the movie is that

the villain is a fairly obvious stand in for Israel. Like the countries all have fake comic book names, but it's pretty obvious what's going on. Like there's called. Baravia, but like it specifically notes that Boravia is a long time US ally and the US arms industry makes billions in weapon sales to Boravia. I mean, Jack, honestly, this could be anyone if we're talking about arming another nation for billions of dollars, but what else, what else?

The inciting incident of the movie Superman is effectively canceled because he intervenes in the Baravian invasion of like a very poor country that they are victimizing and basically like saves people from the Baravian military. Even though they're armed with US weapons and is a US ally. Wow, wow, wow. Huh, interesting. And him going against the Baravian military ideal gets him detained and shipped

to a off the books detention facility. Oh. So they really went for it. Damn. Wait, so does he, well, now I gotta see this. Does he get out? Or is this about him being in a CIA black site? I think he doesn't.

Yeah, the whole thing is just him being like. You're like, oh my God, dude, what happened? This is also just funny to see, like, I'm like, oh, maybe it could be another country, but then you have an account, Israel in Los Angeles, posted pretty quickly, like an AI slop superhero poster that said the real superheroes are the IDF. Look up the real superheroes only in real life.

The idea and then it shows IDF soldiers. This is really bad AI too. It is. It's okay, sure, sure, sure. Anyways, I have not seen the movie so I can't, I'm sure the politics are not perfect but just on the surface level, it does feel like pretty provocative,

but also in line with what 80% of people in the United States feel at this point. Right. Apparently the Jerusalem Chronicle really loved it. Got four stars. It did, wow. Five stars. Superman review, you don't get more Jewish. So, yeah, I guess it's open to different interpretations.

All right. Israel and Los Angeles was maybe they were just like, and as we see in the new Superman movie, the real heroes are the IDF. Everybody just sees what they want to see. Right. All right. So from one iconic pop culture figure having a very public change of heart to another, Elmo spent the weekend tweeting hate speech due to a hack.

But I think I did enjoy all the people being like, fucking Larry David doesn't miss. But when Larry David like smushed Elmo's face. He did not like that. Yeah, he smushed Elmo's face. He did not like that. Yeah, he smushed the shit out of Elmo. But yeah, just horrifying shit coming from a hacked account. Not much to say there. Elmo does seem to be back in control of their account.

But I hate to see it when it's not coming from a chat bot that was intentionally made to do that by Elon Musk. Wasn't the thing also saying it released the Epstein files too? It did say that too. It's just along with some several horrifying things. I guess that speaks to the right wing movement right now. They're like, we need to get on many platforms,

obviously do our racism and antisemitism, but also make sure we get the word about these Epstein files. Yeah, Elmo's supposed to be three and a half, but I feel like these sort of conspiracy theories don't really hit until you're like four. So that's how I knew it was this half. It's usually more four-year-old stuff.

Yeah, that's some more four-year-old. This guy was doing racism at a four-year-old level. All right, those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines where you still can. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye. Later. The Daily Zeitgeist is executive produced by Kathryn Law.
