I think it's probably just, I don't know, maybe there's just a sanctity to July 4th for some people. Although it is, I'm just looking right now. I guess we would overshadow things a little bit.

This is actually kind of amazing. It's not, okay, the only, the foods that are July 4th, National Barbecued Spare Ribs Day. That makes sense. But then we're going outside National Caesar Salad Day, obviously a Mexican recipe, National Barbecued Spare Ribs Day. That makes sense. But then we're going outside.

we get the super sexy under boob sweat which is just yes yes yes yeah that combines to the back yeah oh yeah it's one big full circle it's great because anyone i mean this feels like a universal problem for breast having people is the under boob sweat are there has anyone even just just tried to make an invention like Is there any point to try? No, they don't work on women's issues. Yeah, right. It's not... Unless it's like a boner pill.

Right. We have the jewel cooler, which I guess would work for everybody. I just saw this. I've been on Twitter too much since I've been on Twitter too much since I've been back this assassination attempt has

really fucked me up and now you're looking at ball cooling devices how does it cradle thy balls it is a tube that connects from your car air condition vents and

creates a little hose that goes up your shorts. Oh, that went in so many different directions that I wasn't expecting. Every word. Yeah. Just blasts your undercarriage with cool air. I thought it was like plug-in USB underwear where the crotch area has a refrigerant.

I don't know. Can you do something that... I don't know if you can do a system that small. I't know look i don't know anything about engineering well no you can you have those vibrating panties that have to have some sort of electrical situation happening right i'm sure that how easy is it yeah i guess a fan yeah it would be a micro fan huh yeah well yeah and so what you bought a couple or the jewel coolers yeah one for each pant leg i need to be blasting that thing from both from both angles man now i need to fucking look a jewel cooler jewel cooler yeah so i guess that would work as well we just put it down on cleavage i thought it was a conroe malley sketch disgusting

yeah it looks like someone's oh my god hold on Hold on, let me share with the class. Think about the second and third use of that. What? No. The photo of the guy using it makes me not want to buy it. Oh my god! It looks like a breathalyzer. It looks like a breathalyzer that sucks your dick.

Yeah! It looks... Yeah, or like one of those like what you know it's like it's using that same plastic for like those telescopic toy kids from back in the day it was like like it makes sounds and you like whip it apart but then the guy's like dude i hooked it up to my air vent to just blow on my nut okay also i i guess you can only have chill balls in the car. Like if you're anywhere else, fuck your balls is what this product is saying. FYB, fuck your balls. That is our policy on this podcast.

You can get that tatted on National Tattoo Day. FYB, fuck your balls. Great. Well, we're thrilled to have you here. We are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about on today's episode. J.D. Vance, which it was reported the J and D stands for Jance Dance't know it didn't inspire me but apparently it's gonna inspire a whole lot of money a lot of money coming in to the uh campaign so we'll talk about that we will talk about uh the rnc had its first uh day where i think while you listen to this where it's like in its third day, but they're going

an interesting direction with regards to sensitivity towards the assassination attempt on their dear leader. One of the things that you can do at the RNC is win a free AR-15. So the very

device used to attempt to assassinate Donald Trump. you can win a free one. Cool. Oh, cool. But use it for like other stuff. It's a tool. Not political violence. It's for feral hogs.

It's for regular violence. That's right. And school violence. Yes. Not political. Just don't shoot us. Yes, not political. Just don't shoot us. And we are going to talk about breaking, coming to the Olympics, and then promptly disappearing from the Olympics.

They've already canceled it for 2028. That's like the one thing I'm fucking really looking forward to, too, is seeing how they do this. I feel like if it goes over well enough, they'll probably figure something something yeah why cancel it before it happens yeah exactly anyway we'll talk about it we have plenty of cardboard in la that we can set down on the ground for them i know like well like that's the thing is they're having it for paris not not immediately associated with break dancing and then canceling it for la one of the lost all your Parisian breakdancing listeners. I mean, there's some great dancing in Paris, but breakdancing is not what I associate them with. More of a cotillion I like to enjoy.

That's right. All right. Kim, Ket, can I call you Ket? Yeah, of course. All right. All right, Ket. Before we get to any of that bullshit, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, I am currently searching how to move your kitty cats to Wales.

Uh-oh. It is significantly more complicated than one would think. And I add complications to it in that I have very high standards for my children. So that is my current Google deep dive that I'm working on it. And so far, I'm displeased to learn that it's looking like private jet is my only option. So what do you mean? Like, in a way that isn't like, we'll put them in the bottom of the aircraft, they could die under there. I don't know. Pretty much. Yeah. And then that's the horror story with flying with pets is like, exactly. And I just on the tarmac too long. Yeah. And I just shan't. But also the UK has like some weird thing where they like, don't want my cats flying directly. I mean, not just my cats, but I don't think they have a cat. They mentioned your cats specifically. Cats entering the country.

You can at least tell it was targeted. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. I have to do some weird rigmarole flying into another country and driving through the ocean or something like that. So that's what I'm currently Googling working. Damn.

Driving through the ocean. James Bond stuff. Yeah, exactly. Amazing. stuff yeah exactly amazing cyber truck for that what because those are waterproof unless it's raining i think elon said it's a cyber a boat too i don't know i haven't tried it yet yeah it's waterproof unless the water is coming for sprinkling from the sky yeah yes yeah yeah don't go you have to be in car wash mode. Yeah, and I already have a dumpster, so I don't think I need it. Wait, what the fuck does car wash mode do?

I know we've talked about that before, but like, does car wash mode like actually just like roll the windows up? I'm very confused. Anyways, we will... I don't know. I don't want to derail the podcast. Kim, what's something from your... It closes all windows, locks the charge board, disables windshield wipers, sentry mode,

walkaway door locking, and parking sensor chimes. That's on a Model 3. And then probably a Cybertruck. I was hoping it had like go-go gadget. Yeah, yeah. I was picturing a gadget like locked down. Oh, yeah. Or like in the early Batman, like the Tim Burton Batman.

Yeah, exactly. Like the armor mode on the Batmobile. It's like... Yeah. It's like, I want to watch... What I was picturing, but you got it, Miles. Yeah. I know you're talking about Tim Burton's Batmobile, baby.

Yeah. How about you, Kim? What's something from your search history? You know, it's been tough times. And something happened to me over the pandemic. That's never happened before, where I started watching reality TV. And I got really obsessed with 90 Day Fiancé. So like the most recent thing I was researching was the I Love You Chicken music video because I just wanted to see like how many hits they actually have.

Not sure you guys are familiar with it, but it was less than I expected. Oh, this is from 90 Day Fiancé UK. Oh, it's UK. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I watched them all. I had some time on my hands. And so I went from zero to every single episode that's ever been made of 90 Day Fiancé.

And now I can't stop. And it's just, it helps me get through life. There's a lot of, yeah. Soja Boy has a lot of great material. Oh, Soja Boy has some bops. Yeah. I love that you said it as if like this tragic, horrible thing happened to you during the pandemic.

And then you said you watched all of 90 Day Fiancé. So I guess it did fit, actually. Yeah, you described one of my passions in life, 90 Day Fiancé. Oh my gosh, we could have a whole podcast about this. Yeah, come on my podcast, 420 Day Fiancé. We smoke weed and talk about it. I'm in. What is something you guys think is underrated?

Kim and I talk about this a lot. You know, we were theater majors. And, you know, so my dad paid money for me to learn how to, you know, breathe and sound and roll around on the ground pretending I'm a puppy, you know, that kind of thing. Saints and sinners parties. Yeah. And we've gotten a lot of flack for it over the years. But now in this day and age, we're like, everything is tragic. No one knows how to process their emotions. Everyone is a ball of anxiety. I'm pulling out a lot of theater exercises to process my daily life. And so that theater degree. Oh, Kim and I breathe and sound on the daily. I have not heard of breathing and sound.

Can you do it? Exhalation is a vocalization. Vocalization. But it's a deep. You got to breathe deep. Not from your throat. From your swamp. From your swamp.

But I drain the swamp every day. Well, it's gonna freeze-freeze. What's it called? Into my swampy jewels. Jewel cooler. Yeah, your swampy jewels. Pool jewels. Yeah.

Yeah, so my theater degree is not looking so stupid now. Is it? Dad, when you said that you've taken a lot of shit about it over the years, is it just from your dad? Honestly, my dad is probably the most supportive one. Wow. Shout out to dads. Yeah.

Dads. Oh, shout out to Skip and Peg Porter. They're the best. But no, other people, you know, you're like, oh, what's your degree? Theater. And you get looks you get yeah oh as a as a philosophy major i i get it yeah yeah how is philosophy helping you through this tragedy we call a country every day you know i just read a little derrida

how about you kim what's something you think is underrated uh bubble baths I love a bubble bath I'm just obsessed I think they heal everything yeah okay it makes buying presents for her really easy too I just oh I bet anywhere that you go there's a bath bomb there's a bath it's great I just throw everything in the bubble bath are you like a like a self-described bubble bather like you would say like if people are and you're like oh hell yeah i know i'm gonna fuck with the core what's the what's like the standard bubble bath like i'm just thinking of like child bubble bath thing so i don't i know not of what the professional would use miles oh my gosh sir i use dish soap because that seems to bubble up really good.

Lord in heaven. No, you need a scent. You get a lot of bubbles. You need a scent. It's an aromatherapy situation. It's not just bubbles. Like, how do you want to feel? And then you bring that scent in.

And then you light some candles. I bring my whole computer in there. I'm watching movies. I'm watching 90 Day Fiancé up in the air. You have no idea. I live in there. Kim, you're not watching movies. I'm watching 90 Day Fiancé up in the bubble bath. You have no idea. I live in there. Kim, you're not watching movies. You're only watching 90 Day Fiancé.

I'm only watching. It's true. That's true. Don't try to. Taking another bubble bath. It's like, you should watch 90 Day Fiancé out here, you know. You're right. No, I'm bathing, actually.

I'm not even watching 90 Day Fiancé. I take hours, 25 minute baths. Are you catching Kim, like, not actually watching the movies for your podcast and just being filling in plot details with 90 Day Fiancé? She does relate a lot of things back to 90 Day Fiancé and then gets really

excited that I don't watch it because then she kind of has to describe the story to me. Everything relates back to 90 Day Fiancé. i know exactly what that feeling is like kim that look in your co-host's eyes as they roll back disinterest i actually point to my eyes when they're rolling yeah like engage yeah yeah yeah what's something you guys think is overrated being awake honestly right now

i just um consciousness i just feel like there's just so many times that i'm just like i don't know what else to do other than take a nap. I need to, it's like tapping out. It's like closing the laptop screen of reality. And I just need to do that so often. And I just feel like there's so many, like who, what wouldn't be solved by people taking a nap? Like all of the assholes, the oppressors, take a nap, Just take a nap.

Just shush, shush. A little nappy happy. Bye and good night. They don't enter your dreams too? Freddy style? Yeah. It's Freddy Krueger style for me. Then I have dreams like, I'm in the resource wars.

That's true. Kim and I are actually not afraid of Freddy Krueger. We already know how we would defeat him. And mine would be punching up all of his one-liners. And Kim's would be either laughing sincerely at them and complimenting him on his one-liners. Oh my God, you are so funny. You're so cute. Yeah, I just become this

Freddy Krueger. Or what's worse is and I've been on the receiving end of this and it hurts. If you make a joke, you don't get, and Kim doesn't think it's funny, there's no

polite laughter. There's no like, good one. It's just a blank stare where you just feel like you have all the time in the world to contemplate where you went wrong in every aspect of your life. Sorry, I think my feed just cut off or cut out or something. I don't know. Sorry, should I take it? Never mind. Do you want to hear the joke again did you not get it or yeah so I don't worry about my dreams in my naps I don't worry about making

joke making jokes to my mom she'd do the same thing just be like like it was it's the facial equivalent of like so so you're into that huh that's what you're doing you're about you're proud of that one okay it's it's just it's debilitating it sticks with you yeah it's worse than like someone saying dude shut up yeah honestly i'd be like oh fuck now i gotta fill in the blanks and they're probably worse i would welcome kim being like you are such a dumb bitch like Like, I would welcome it. But the blank stare. Yeah. Sometimes that's all you have to offer.

Okay. Yeah. I get it. It's power, though. It's power. It's power. It is power. I appreciate that.

I appreciate those displays of power, Kim. Being awake, I feel that. Do you ever, like, remember your dream too well? Like, I had a dream last night. Yeah. And it was just, like, I a dream last night yeah and it was just like i spent the whole night looking for a bag and it was like just it was like i know i left it in this house this cottage on this farm and just it was not there and i would just keep it was so boring

and so frustrating and just like so i don't know i but were you able to like trace it back to like something that you're struggling with in your consciousness no i just i just came back from a trip and probably there was like some stress that i'd leave a bag behind it's like very straightforward nothing interesting or like you know yeah no texture was Yeah. And what was in the bag? Holy shit. It was my mom. No. No, it wasn't. It was just like some clothes or some shit. Anyways.

I agree. I love sleep. Especially that moment as you're drifting off when the brain chemicals just start dumping in. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Heaven. Oh, yeah.. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Heaven. The best. Oh, yeah. The sweet release of death. But then, yeah, the dreams.

My dreams, I just have notes for my dreams. You have some network notes. Yeah, mine are fucking weird. Yeah. Yeah, mine are weird too. Last night I had one. I was working at an immersive theme park as a tour guide. Ooh.

Already so much better than mine. No, but here's the thing. I had to pee so, like as a tour guide. And but also I had to, I know, but here's the thing. I had to pee. So like in real life, it was time for me to pee. And I got to pee. But like, I'm still doing this tour. And it was like torn between like, oh, fuck, what do I do? And then part of me is like, dude, I got to piss. And then I just kind of came out of the dream.

And then I tried to catch it, like going back. You know, sometimes you're like, I'm going back in. Yeah yeah i thought you were about to tell us that you just wet the bed i was gonna say did you have to pee no it's been a while i i've not like the closest i've come because i used like as a kid i remember my dreams when i pee the bed i was peeing in the dream like i found a bathroom and i started peeing and then i like, Oh, SpaghettiOs, my bed is all wet. But now when I, in a dream, when I see the bathroom, like I think I've become aware enough of my dreams. I'm like, Oh bro, you're about to piss the bed. And I'm like, it's a dream. It's a dream. I had a boyfriend who did that when he was drunk a lot.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Without the dreams. Just did it. It was my calling card for a number of years. Very cool calling card. Kim, what is something you think is underrated or overrated? Let's go with overrated. Let's do it. Let's try that. I had a hard time with this one, but I did have to Google some options.

I wasn't sure. I put unboxing videos. Oh, I don't get it. I don't even know if those are still a thing. I think for kids, the biggest kid YouTubers are unboxers. Yeah. But I don't get it. Why do I want to watch you get a free cool thing, and then I don't have that cool thing,

and then I just watch you have it? I think if you know you have no chance of getting it then the next best thing is watching someone open it and just so you can see what all the cool stuff that it comes with is right as someone who like would watch them yeah and be like why the fuck because like when i watched him i felt like it was right after i forget which financial crash but one of them one of our lifetime i was like oh man what's in this like what's in this new fangled like tech thing that i can't afford and i was like oh that's cool that's cool and then but i yeah that's about it i don't i think i'm too covetous of a person same you'd covet your neighbors unboxing oh so you're just like mad that they got it and yeah fuck you yeah you're just saying you think you're better than me under your breath the whole time that you're watching?

That feels like an only child thing. I feel like I would be doing that as an only child. I remember being at birthday parties as a kid. I'm like, bro, they got that? Fuck. I don't like them anymore. I would have played the fuck out of that toy

but they're just going to throw it on their pile of 700 toys they just got i would just befriend them so that i could go over to their house and no yeah yeah and then break it so they can never have it again yeah or or try to be like or try to bring like a less cool toy over and be like look how cool this thing is you can have it if you want maybe i can we can trade it for like i don't know like that that thing that's not even that cool at all yeah oh my god i heard it's like for babies dude yeah whatever i don't know i mean like this is like this is cool it's like a laser toy from japan but i don't know but i'll take a baby toy to help you out just to help you out dude wow oh really you like that a lot of Wow. Oh, really? You like that? A lot of back of the nose laughter.

I feel like that's true. Okay. Okay. Wait, so that was on your wish list? Oh, my God. That's sick. I really like back of the nose laughter as a description. That's great. I love that.

I'm going to steal that. Watch out. He's litigious. He'll fucking sue you. I will come after steal that. Watch out. He's litigious. I will come after you and everything you own if I ever hear you saying that. I kind of think back of the nose laughing is for babies, though. Don't you think?

Yeah, for sure. I was just joking about being litigious. I think it sucks, actually. Being litigious is for babies. Whatever. What else? It's yours. It's yours, actually. I think I'm being like, you just have babies. Yeah. Whatever. What else? What else? No, it's yours.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price.

Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts And we're back. We're back. And the Vance man, J.D. Vance. Yeah, he was announced Monday. Yeah, it's been a while. It's been a while, but it took us a while to get our head around it. And also, yeah, you'll I'm sure you heard us talk about it on the trending episode from Tuesday. But yeah, as we as as we know, J.D. Vance is Trump's VP pick. Make him dance. And it was announced in a pretty non-Trumpy way.

Like most people that like probably would have expected some weird ass pageant where he's like, get everybody line up. And who is it going to be? No, no, no, no, no. Maybe the crown goes on you. No. Fake passes of VP football at somebody. Look at this bitch, he just flinched little marco it's you fuck out of here it's a joke you fucking loser it's actually my boy you're fired you're fired

you prick um so it did was not like that at all and you thought you know that there would be some kind of coronation uh by trump aka van gogh in his orange period um but it caught most people at the rnc that were like in the building off guard like the like trump just posted to truth social just very casually he was like yes i'm selecting jd vance to be my vice president pick and a lot of people on the even convention floor didn't notice until mike lee from utah the senator like announced it during the open roll call where he's like, our delegates are for Donald Trump and also his vice president pick and my colleague, J.D. Vance. Everyone's like, oh, oh, oh, OK. And then they were clapping. But aside from the lackluster announcement, Vance is like an is an interesting pick for Trump,

because typically you pick someone as a running mate to help like bolster your like likability or increase support from a certain voting bloc. Vance is very Trumpy, like he's all in on the culture war bullshit. He hates women. He hates immigrants like you get it fucking hates divorce, all of that shit. And he appeals to like the hardcore ultra mega set, but is not necessarily appealing to moderates because like just just to juxtapose some information here. So when he ran for a Senate seat in 2022 in Ohio, GOP Governor Mike DeWine won 63 to 37. Vance underperformed 10 points, 53 to 47. So even on that, like down ticket, some people are like, I prefer Tim Ryan over J.D. Vance. And a lot of people like there are a lot of people who would vote like a GOP person at the higher ticket, but then maybe be go a little bit more moderate on another office.

So some people like, oh, that might not help. But again, I who knows this? help but again i it who knows but this like if whoever's gonna vote for donald trump is gonna vote for donald trump and i think it's gonna be all about turnout more than like what they can what they can pick off at the margins although sure there are some swing voters i don't even know who these people really are like intellectually at this point or like philosophically this is what pushed me over the edge miles i told you before this is they got me with this one with J.D. Vance, the most like uninspiring piece of shit. Also, not that this matters to me, but historically it has mattered when it comes to politicians height. But Trump's very derisive of Marco Rubio for being little Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio is five nine. J.D. Vance is five seven.

He's like a lot shorter than Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio is 5'9". J.D. Vance is 5'7". He's like a lot shorter than Marco Rubio. This is what's really interesting because people, again, right? If Donald Trump is 6'3", and J.D. Vance is 5'7". Uh-huh. Oh, the lift. Interesting. I'm just wondering who... How tall is Donald Trump?

He's reported as 6'3". He claims he's 6'3". 6'3"? Maybe the J.D. Vance thing is like fake news? I don't know. What do you mean? He's 5'7"? Yeah, 5'7 seems way too short. Yeah.

I mean, this is again, this is where we need Starley Kine again from Mystery Show to be like, how tall is J.D. Vance? Yeah. Trump also hates facial hair, which is weird that he chose someone with a beard. Exactly.

But when you look at his voter base, it's not weird that he chose somebody with a beard, but it is. He does, despite the beard, like J.D. Vance, I think he weird that he chose somebody with a beard, but it is... He does, despite the beard, like J.D. Vance, I think he says he looks really young without facial hair, so he prefers it, because he's 39. He's going to be 40 in

August, so he's super young. I guess it would be maybe the third or fourth youngest vice president, but also Trump has said on the record, he's like, he has beautiful blue eyes. It's fucking... He kind of does. He has very striking eyes,

which is a thing. You look at him from a distance, you're like, this is just some yokel. You look up close, you are transported by his eyes, unfortunately. I do have to... There was speculation about him wearing eyeliner they're like do you have that like he's got that natural thick ass eyelash thing going on where you

got the natural eyeliner or are you in sir sir do you have that natural thick ass eyeliner going on that like natural eyeliner thing going on or do you look like somebody who has like a 30 seconds to mars failed cover band yeah i bet he cleaned up in the early 2000s in the emo era with that natural eyeliner oh yeah if that was for real guys his his campaign and him he's like no eyeliner here dog that's natty so i don't know who knows who knows if it matters just the wild lifts and full mascara going yeah right um so now people are like okay how did we get to this because like in the last few weeks it felt like it's like it's going to be marco rubio or doug bergum like they both felt like safe these g like safe gop kind of picks and had a lot of support

from trump's big donors a lot of the big donors were like out on jd vance like even before this they're like dude we don't want Vance. Like we want one of these guys who understands the Hill. This guy's too green. We don't like this. That's not how we're going to bring in the fourth Reich. No way. So it turns out that Trump had a lot of people in his ear recently telling him to go with Vance, like Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk are two of the bigger names that were vouching for the former Peter Thiel linked venture capitalist in J.D. Vance. So it seems that he's Silicon Valley's pick since he is familiar with the venture capital world. And it seems that Trump has been rewarded for picking Vance because it was also recently

reported by The Wall Street Journal that Elon Musk will now be donating $45 million a month to a Trump supporting super pack yeah it feels like that's when this started making sense to me is that yeah i didn't know vance was like a teal musk like part like basically a creature of that and the way that pence was like the coke brothers you know puppet yeah he vance is like the teal Musk, you know, figurehead who's just like out in front doing their bidding. And it feels almost like a,

a incredibly cocky pick by Trump where he's like not even thinking about politics. Like he's, he's really just, he's so confident that he's just aligning all the most powerful people in the world on his side with this pick like the day before he announced this pick musk announced that he was endorsing trump then trump announced the pick and then it's 40 million dollars a month 45 yeah yeah 45 so so you think it's the money not the sparkly eyes it's the money, not the sparkly eyes? It's the money and the power. I mean, Musk is terrifyingly powerful.

No, I can't be found. But I also think that that also makes sense to me why the announcement was so lackluster in almost like a petty way, because I think that Trump doesn't like being specifically bought in that way. And I think that, I think that Trump doesn't like being specifically bought in that way. And I think that he had no choice but to accept the 45 million a month from Elon Musk. And then the difference is that he's like, but you have to go with Vance. So I think, you know, it's his ego

being like, fine, I'll go with your guy. But like, I'm not going to roll out the red carpet for him was what it felt like. Well, cause I think with anything, right? Like every subsequent attempt at office has been about him consolidating power in like, and only really like bringing in the people that he wants to. So like, yeah,

he pushed out the evangelicals when they were doing the making or voting on the platform last week. And he's clearly like, I can do this without you. Like I know other GOP people would have bowed to you. I'm going to just, I'm going to keep my distance to do it my way. And this feels like if he's turning his back on like the traditional big donor class, then yeah, like to your point, the tech money feels like a safe bet.

But Elon Musk, he denied, like the Wall Street Journal tweeted that. And then Elon Musk denied it with like a stupid ass meme. But the Wall Street Journal, they came back and they're like, we don't like, no, we stand by our reporting. Like we 100 percent stand by this. We don't care what this fool says. And when you look at the actual pack, like who is reportedly being like behind it, it's a lot of people that are part of Elon's social circle. It's like it's reportedly run by this guy, Joe Lonsdale, who's a co-founder of Palantir and a close associate of Elon Musk. There's another guy who's Antonio Gracias, who's a private equity person and a board director at

SpaceX. And also, yeah, Antonio Gracias. You mean Tony Thanks? Shout out, Tony Thanks out here, giving a million dollars. And then there's another guy, howry who's an early paypal exec who worked alongside musk like it's all people who are just close to him that are involved with this specific super PAC so yeah it does feel like a like a power consolidation move and like a lot of people have said like jd vance has spoken out he's like i'm against big tech like we need and he applauded Biden going after Google. But I think this is, as I was reading more Silicon Valley specific news, it's like the smaller startup world, the venture capital world, they want these big companies broken up because they're gobbling up too much of the market. So it benefits them to break down those monopolies. So then they

can now sort of replace them. And when you look at people like Elon Musk he would love to have something that he could be up there with the Google or the metas of the world but we shall see it's a lot a lot of trading going on behind the scenes it looks like do you guys see what I mean about being awake like it just right

this is a fucking yeah now that you mentioned holy shit this this sucks. It sucks. Yeah. Bring on Freddy Krueger. Honestly, Freddy Krueger 2024.

You know what I'm saying? I just can't... At least he has Zara's Krueger. He thinks they're funny. Yeah, and Kim. Kim thinks they're funny too. Kim would pretend until she had him in her clutches yeah i am curious like listeners who live in or work in silicon valley like have you felt a palpable change in just the overall vibe because it's you know as recently as the obama administration was pretty pretty much a given

that like everybody in the tech world and all the tech money was on the democratic side of things even though they there were these like libertarian ideals undergirding a lot of it and now it feels like we're headed in a direction like we've talked about there being like are we headed for another like reagan 80s type thing where like all the power and all the money and even like some parts of the mainstream culture are just like on this like right-wing fascist tip like i i wonder if we're not headed in that direction because it feels like things are moving in a mega fascism libertarian tech billionaire direction and that is like oh that is terrifying like this version of the next trump administration with like a musk teal you know like with the tech industry like lined up on his side like then we're kind of like that the tech world is so deeply ingrained in our modern lives it would be hard to shake bigger yeah i'm like zaslav recently was like hey i'm not picking a side in this election i just want whoever is going to be good before

deregulation of these massive like tech or media consolidations which is trump he's like i'm just gonna i would just prefer whoever's gonna describe what trump is gonna do yeah exactly so it's just all the most powerful people are lining up on trump's side someone who's like against body autonomy and yeah he's feeling like a little oh this is maybe good because no one he's full maga so no one knew was being brought to the side like i'm not gonna get the quote-unquote undecided voters but now when you're putting it this way now i'm even more scared yeah i'm like oh no what happens if they win but it does they're getting money and then people i thought were on the different side yeah yeah exactly well there's they're like you know recently there's just been more and more outwardly sort of vocal

conservatives in tech you know what i mean and they're i think they're they have a ton of money and they want to go against the traditional powers like you know the the fucking apple google you know that whole thing regulation or and that's why i was gonna ask is it to have less regulations like what is the well i think the big thing it's like i think the if they're looking at the entire industry it's like if they can dilute the power of like the major companies that creates more opportunity for them to profit because of their like diminished influence so that's like a good business opportunity for these like for the sort of and in theory i agree with them just without the fascism like i just yeah yeah i think it's bad to have massive massive uh tech companies

that are like more powerful than the government you know i also hate fascism just hey okay going on record okay yeah look at us should that be our spinoff podcast and just to be clear just to be clear i h8 fascism that's how just to make it a little accessible for the kids yeah so that that's like my read on it is that he's just like lining up the most powerful people because he's assuming he's already assuming he won like we heard did you guys hear the rfk the leaked rfk call with trump no he rfk just took a video of trump like calling him and rfk is like looking at the phone like frowning like what the fuck's happening and trump's just talking for two minutes straight i'll play you some yeah but he like, I'm fucking killing the guy. This one's over. It's a wrap. You should join

up. I'm going to win. That feels like where he's at. I can't hear the audio. I can't hear it. Hold on. Let me turn it up. Let me send a little bit more of this out to Internet World.

Are you frozen, man? No, no, no. I'm just deep in thought. Okay. How's this? It's wrong with that whole system. Better? Yeah. And it's the doctors you find. okay how's this better when you feed a baby, Bobby, a vaccination.

Feed them a vaccination? Dude, both of these guys are fucking cooked, man. Anyways, what else? What else? And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically. I've seen it. Yeah, it's called a baby growing, maybe, too. Then we stack forward.

He's like, I got a call from Joe. And's like, I didn't know I talked to Joe. I got a call from Joe. And we're going to win. We're going to win. We're way ahead of the guy. We're ahead of the guy. And, you know, he's interesting. It was very nice, actually.

He called me. And he said, how did you choose to move to the right? So I guess that's people see it. You know, if I was looking straight around, right? He said, I was just It was a bullet. And it was. It was a bullet going around. And it was. It was a bullet. And it was. And it was the world's largest mosquito. It's so funny because my friend's mom, her first reaction was do you think it was just a really big mosquito?

Because the mosquitoes are really bad right now. When he like, when the video first happened and he like touched his head and then came up with blood. She's like the mosquitoes are really bad. And so we're all laughing about saying that. And then this comes out. We're like,

Oh my God. Shout out to Joanne. Some like, do they know? I know that they were wondering if it was like shattered glass or something. The bullet hit him or a piece of glass. We don't, we don't know.

He says bullet because that's the most dramatic. That's super cool. And it could be glass. But either way, the fact remains he did get shot at. So yeah, he'll just take whatever liberties he wants with that. It is. I mean, my takeaway is from that call. It's revealing how like buddy-buddy it all is behind the scenes.

Like Joe called me. He's very nice. Actually, he said this funny thing. And it was anyways, the bullet. Yeah, it was like that kind of shit yeah he asked me how did i know how to turn my head to the right yeah it's like he was talking about like how he won like a fucking local golf yeah yeah he's exhausting i'm so tired all right let's go to sleep let's go to sleep let's just go to sleep just go to sleep group nap now. Group nap now. That's what I'm saying. Just drones on. Take me with Freddie.

Yeah. RFA Junior is just holding the phone out just in dead silence. Like, if you've ever like done that thing where someone keeps talking and you're in the room with someone and you like point to the phone

and you're like, oh, there's a speaker. Yeah, you put him on speaker too to be like, bro, listen to this asshole. He doesn't even make an encouraging sound throughout the course of

trump he's not like uh-huh yeah it's just but also anyways i mean trump wouldn't hear it anyway you know right but he's yeah he's so charmed by the fact that he got a call from the president he's like it was actually really crazy the president called me and he called me yeah i don't know like there are ways in like he seemed to be at a peak with the photo op and the surviving us you know just adds to this idea that he's like this invincible charmed person but then like never hearing the end of this like we're never hearing the end of this but honestly things change so quickly we probably will right somehow like something else is gonna come up and then when he picks jd vance he's not very likable is like a less well-known ted cruz then he has like a stupid looking bandage on his ear at the thing which i thought he would like that would be stage managed better than that

then he gets caught comparing the bullet to a mosquito and then it's revealed he's golfing the day after and then he doesn't even call the family of the supporter who got killed by a stray shot like that and biden does like he's kind of fumbling the bag a little bit which i mean like a weird thing to say in such a serious situation but yeah but i think that's just like that's just how the the gop moves in general like they they they need it just for a flashpoint to be like you see what they're doing to us and then they don't know how to really play that out much further because if you think about it again like we mentioned too someone fucking shot at their godhead figurehead yeah and they're not even fucking talking about gun control like they're not even

they can't even like they can't even intellectually go there with this well you know some people they're just monsters but you know gotta have those guns I guess yeah they are giving away as we mentioned in the intro they're giving away a free air 15 at a booth at the RNC

giving away the gun that was used to attempt to murder their godhead. And did kill someone. And did kill someone. And many people in our country. Many, many, many people, including children. So many people. But they don't care about that.

No. The booth is run by the U.S. Concealed Carry Association, a group looking to promote their membership and fill the NRA's void. Also behind a bunch of dark money that is battling gun control laws. So that's like, that's like, it's the idea of the U S concealed carry association even sounds more vile than the NRA somehow where it's like,

yeah, we're about like sport guns. Like, no man, every person should have that thing on them. It goes, it goes where you imagine maybe like if everybody at that thing on them. It goes, it goes, maybe like if everybody at that thing had been armed,

like how many people would be dead? Like, anyway, the Rolling Stone asked the U S a control carry association rep at the, who's manning the booth, whether anyone was touchy touchy about giving away air 15s right after the Trump shooting. And they said

that it was merely a tool that had been used for something really terrible like straight up that could have been a wrench or a screwdriver that guy threw or a shoe president yeah you know what are we gonna ban shoes now anyways i i'm sure remember when that guy like threw shoes at like GW oh yeah he was fine he caught them threw them back everyone was good did he catch it

and throw it back he kind of like swatted it honestly like he dodged it in a pretty athletic way like the clip was actually like kind of impressive yeah god damn these fucking republican presidents whenever somebody tries to go at them they always do something impressive i was just watching the reagan clip where like six years after somebody after the attempted assassination a balloon popped and he like paused and was like missed me oh my god that's kind of badass i'm not gonna lie yeah all right uh let's take a quick break

and we'll come back and close it out we'll be right back i'm jess casaveto executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.

Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling,

firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

We're preparing for the Olympics. Wild. In Paris. Games kick off in just Olympics. Wild. In potty. Games kick off in just over a week. A lot of attention is still being focused on the swimming events. It's normal event. Find a new angle. It's just that they're holding some of the distance swimming events and triathlon in the Seine River despite the fact that it's still contaminated

with E. coli. Okay, we get it. Big deal. People are shitting directly in the pool that these people are swimming in. Find a new angle. Is there no other body of water in the country of France that

people can swim in? I don't understand. It's like they had this vision that they just like could not move on from yeah like it had to be in the sand it's iconic it's that's what a perfect encapsulation for just generally how like humanity is moving it's like don't do the thing man it's all fucked up you're like we're gonna do the thing it's like no man there's e. coli now man open mouth swimming all day in the sense open mouth swimming

they're actually adding to the to the event it's all the strokes and then open mouth swimming oh gosh how was this you were there did the scent smell like doo doo or caca as they say necessarily smell more or less like doo doodoo or kaka as they necessarily smell more or less like doo-doo than okay i i'm

you would know yeah uh then rivers that i've been around it smelled like a river river that runs through a city yeah but the the camera angle i mean that thing runs right by the eiffel tower and the eiffel tower has the olympic rings on So there's going to be some cool shots. And that's all that matters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all. You got to do it for the gram. You got to do it for the gram. Someone takes a big breath and a diaper goes in their mouth. These swimmers don't want to do it.

We'll find new swimmers. People don't know the difference between a professional level swimmer and just somebody who can swim. You know? Yeah. That's actually the official motto of the Olympicslympics this year doing it for the gram doing it got to i feel like that's the motto of 2020 humanity yeah yeah i mean trump's entire persona is just like man that guy is really telegenic or like people who are like i'm going to death valley to experience 128 degree temperatures and like did it for the gram though i had to pose with that yeah you know that's not just a cute nickname death valley

that's yeah yeah anyway it's it's what happens there the big event the new event that's gotten a lot of attention in no way involves swimming through feces it is breaking aka break dancing aka break in and we talked about this a few years ago uh when it was first introduced to the 2018 summer youth games and they announced that it was going to be in paris and i don't know like people like this there are squash players who are up in arms about this because squash was not included in the Olympics. They're like, oh, but it's an absolute mockery, mate. They were Australian.

They were Welsh. Oh, shit, mate. Yeah, Miles handles fucking mockery. To be fair, though, I had to Google what squash was and I didn't have to Google what breakdancing was. Thank you.

There you go. Which one's more iconic? Squash is another, correct me if I'm wrong, it is another ball plus racket type of situation. It looks pickleball-y. Pickleball-y. It's racketball. It's racketball if the ball didn't bounce as much. Got it.

So less fun. Yes, exactly. Less chaotic racquetball. You know how racquetball, you're like, I love watching this sport, but it's a little too chaotic. I don't. Wait, what? Anyway, it's too much

going on. Too fun. I need you to calm this one down for me. Anyway, some past sports is being, you know, if you're going to hear an elderly relative be like, what in tarnation is this? You can point out that passports have included, they tried to make competitive dog grooming a sport.

They did make in the 1900 Paris Games, pigeon shooting an event excuse me the one that i think should be brought back is dueling they tried to but it kind of sucked because they were just shooting uh mannequins dressed in frock coats uh that was during the 1912 games well where's the they just had to like beat the mannequin yeah you just had to like turn and like faster than you yeah it does make sense though because dueling is how they settled personal conflicts back then and break dancing battles is how we settle them today so oh my god it's the modern game duel in my in my town on my block these are real battles okay that we're talking about. You know, what other sport calls it a battle?

No, just breaking. Sold. I'm sold on this. Probably a little bit more athletic than murdering birds and giving haircuts to dogs. But it's unusual for modern games in some specific ways. Like the judges need to show their own breaking moves before the competition. I like that. That is my favorite part. I appreciate before the competition. I like that. That is my favorite part.

I appreciate that. Yeah. I appreciate that. It's like, bro, can you even do a windmill? They're like, I'm sorry. I'm a modern dance instructor. I don't know much about breaking. All the judges should have to do that.

I agree. If the figure skating judges had to go out and do... Break dance. I'll give you a double axel. I don't even need the fucking triple axel. Just give me a double axel. Like if the figure skating judges had to like go out and do break dance, I'll give you a double. I don't even need to fucking triple axel. Just give me a double. No, you do.

I need to see a three. I need to see that three. Yeah. Yeah. But this is, that is a break dancing tradition called judges showcase and it should be fun. That's kind of cool.

I like it. Yeah. I'm excited. Like get your body ready. I think for me too, just as someone who like coming up in like the dj like b-boy scene in high school like the whole fun of it like if you're the dj is like the battle like the break the breakbeat records you put on for people to break to that is the knowing that like they don't have any licensing shit they don't have any licensing shit. They don't have the music. So it's going to be like weird official, like a limit.

Like how do you fuck? Just break dancing to that. I was trying to do Olympics. I don't know. I'm sorry. Actually, they've actually hired. They just hired Kim to do it.

Are y'all ready to break? Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight. Alright, man. Y'all fuck with this beat? That beat goes hard, though. This is just some default Cisco hold music we got because

you can't license anything else. Ooh! That's what it feels like. But don't tell me you're not excited when that sick beat drops on hold okay it's legit but here's my question i forgive me if this is a dumb question but like i will not be able to i just have to go ahead i'll just leave if it's bad i'll just i'll just go it's the olympics you know what i mean i'd imagine there's some money behind it. There's some press. There's a machine behind it. I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to get the licensing, especially because we have other competitions that use licensed music like figure skating, gymnastics, all of that. So I don't even understand the mechanism by which that would be an issue. It continues the great tradition of our modern world of just spending all the money in the exact wrong places you know like

spending probably spending like hundreds of millions of dollars trying to clean the shit out of the sen river uh like displacing people and then not spending like a couple million on fucking just getting good music for the breakdancing competition. It feels like it's like a cool idea that everybody was immediately like embarrassed by and like are just like kind of half assing. Which is lame because I feel like it would be cool. And I've never given a single solitary shit about breakdancing in my entire life until right this second. But like now I feel like I want to like campaign for it or something like help them out let's start at this campaign all right let's do it yeah breaking in the games

also like yeah like when it comes to la like that feels like like this is a this is a major city that had a hand in like the evolution of hip-hop like yeah why don't we have break-in here in la and like the subjectivity of it doesn't but like some of the most randomly captivating moments I've had watching the Olympics are events like rhythmic gymnastics and shit like that where it's just like so cool when they be fucking with the little beach ball yeah they're doing like little beach ball things and or whatever that's called I'm sorry I don't give a shit that it's subjective yeah oh yeah rhythm dancer yeah yeah ribbon dancer round and round that toy ribbon dancer yeah yeah don't pretend like y'all haven't gotten some sort of ribbon and flung it

around and pretend oh hell yeah yeah no that's a common birthday party like parting you know gift that you get at a kid's birthday party, and then you try and do the little fucking tornado. Yeah. I try, bro. I fuck that shit up. And then my kids are like, uh-huh. Okay. No reaction. Yeah, they give you the Kim. No reaction. Okay, so you think that's cool? Okay.

I was just checking. You thought that was cool. Okay. Yeah, but it's already not part of the 2024 game or 2028 games as of right now, which seems nuts considering that, unlike Paris, LA, was one of the hotbeds in the early days of the art form. Kim and I will take care of that. Don't you worry.

Okay, good. I didn't want to come out and ask it, but we did have you on for this story specifically. To save break dancing? Do something! Kat, save breaking! We're on it. We're on it.

They are doing flag football in the Olympics instead of breaking. It's like, come on, guys. Yeah. Well, yeah, sure. But like they get squashed next time. So that one person can, you know, just hold on to your horse. It's a travesty, mate. Oh, yeah, sure. But like they get squashed next time. So that one person can, you know, just hold on to your travesty, mate. Yeah, mate. Mate.

Fucking disaster. Too easy. But yeah, but I think flag football is just so that feels like less like breaking at least feels like artistic. It like require like not to say flag football doesn't, but that's like a game we grow up playing. You play that in like powder puff games in high school. Yeah. Yeah. And I get like track is simple or whatever, but there's still like a level of like, I don't know.

So we'll see what the flag football looks like. But I feel like it'll look just sort the music out and you could probably have something like akin to what these like great looking like breakdancing competitions look like. akin to what these great-looking breakdancing competitions look like. But that's the hard part because the Olympics, they don't have a great track record with this kind of stuff. So we'll see. Nope. I will see.

The sprinting, though. The sprinting. The sprinting I'm ready for. The swimming in the pools. In the pools. They are going to. Open Mouth River swimming? What's that? No Open Mouth River swimming for you? Open Mouth River swimming? What's that? No Open Mouth River swimming for you?

Open Mouth River. What are you doing? All the swimmers are going to have just explosive diarrhea. They're not going to be able to compete. Horrible skin rashes. Yeah. They will be shitting in the Olympic pools too

First one is from at Roger tweeted, my number one younger millennial trait is I am young enough that playing video games is a lifelong hobby of mine, but old enough that I have absolutely no desire to play online against strangers. My beef is with the computer

and the computer only. Outsiders do not need to get involved. And I felt that shit 100% because I've only known the computer to be my enemy as a older game player. And another one at Year of the Wizard tweeted smoking weed when you're bald must be like, damn, I'm so fucking high and I'm bald. As a bald smoker, I was like, bro, I never thought about that, but I'm going to do that now. Truer words never spoken.

Oh, shit. True as fuck. A couple of tweets I've been enjoying. Brandi Jensen tweeted, J.D. Vance always looks like he should be wearing a bib, which is true. And then Kantz at Kantz EYY tweeted the picture of Trump with his little ear bandage. And it says, when you order a pillow on Teemu. Yes. Enjoy that.

as well as the song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, what song do you think people might enjoy? This is a track from a new producer that I just came across called Sarah the Instrumentalist. She's an American beat maker and her sound is like, oh

man, like high tech. Jay Dilla, if you like that production like songs q-tip produced for tribe called quest it has that like old school jazzy boom bap feel to it but there's something modern about it which i really like and you know she's really making those beats because she doesn't use any quantization no quantize on these beats they're all hand played just like j dilla intended. So anyway, this is a track from Sarah the Instrumentalist called This Makes Everything

Better, which maybe is a good title that we could just listen to for now while you go to sleep to avoid reality. Yeah. Love it. Alright, well we will link off to that in the footnotes. The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio,
