Garlands and tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Are you guys summer tomato fans? I mean, not in a way that I would articulate I'm a summer tomato fan, but I know to buy tomatoes in the summer. More so than winter tomatoes. Winter tomatoes are trash. It's crazy how good they are, and yet they're only available for like
Starting point is 00:04:45 six weeks out of the year yeah so it's really like an artificial scarcity thing where it's like your feast you know if you're fiending for those tomatoes come about mid-july that's where i'm at right now okay so wait i'm hitting a farmer's market later what do i what am i what am i scooping up if i'm putting my jangle lens on the tomatoes. I think you want those big, ugly heirloom tomatoes. The ones that look like an organ. Yeah. Like a diseased organ. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Alien. It's like, yeah, this is what happens when a tomato smokes cigarettes for 50 years. Look at this, kids. Exactly. It's an unhealthy tomato. But those tend to be, I think, the best ones. The ones that are the craziest looking. And then you got your standard plums, which are also nice.
Starting point is 00:05:25 But if I were you, I'd go for a crazy looking multicolored heirloom tomato, slice that up mayonnaise, mayonnaise and toasted bread is a great sandwich, man. Whoa. Oh yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Oh, so, okay. I got you. I was like thinking of like just Ross tomatoes, like a little mayonnaise. Boom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Yeah. I said the order off basically a tomato sandwich. So we're looking for it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. That's my rec. zeitgeist land yeah yeah for sure yeah because i love to cook uh and make like like pasta sauces and stuff with tomatoes and so i feel like i got a strike while the iron's hot the other thing that's really good in july peaches that's the
Starting point is 00:05:59 one thing i will say peaches in july are also fucking nasty especially if you can find anyone who has the july flame peach is like for peach enthusiasts i was put on it's like it's one of the rarer peaches you can find and like only a few places or people have them so what a beautiful poetic name that is a july flame yeah i know it only happens like apparently like in this like everything has to come together at the right time and that should be extreme heat in this one period and when that happens they just come out like sweeter than ever and like the flavor is like so vivid it'll so succulent more succulent than even i could have jerry i just checked on your duck and it's more succulent than even i could have hoped yeah exactly poppy yeah i i just know like my kids asked me to just like cut up a roma tomato and like and they
Starting point is 00:06:47 just ate it like it was you know like i've never eaten it just like piece by piece wow like it's a piece of fruit i hated tomatoes as a kid i did too that's why so i was like man kids these days but i wonder if they're just like sensitive to the fact that the tomatoes are particularly good we don't talk so i couldn't have asked them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't ask the boys how he feels now. No, no, no, no, no. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Well, Django, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today. JFK Jr. went to Washington. Oh, sorry. RFK Jr. Sorry. He's Washington. Oh, sorry. RFK Jr. Sorry. He's not coming back, dude. He's not coming back.
Starting point is 00:07:28 I'm still a little hungover from my QAnon podcast that I was doing earlier. RFK Jr. goes to Washington. We'll talk about how he's defending himself. We'll talk about Jason Aldean being the new Kyle Rittenhouse, Trump being the new Moses, Jim Caviezel being the same old Jesus that he has been. And then
Starting point is 00:07:49 we might get into some UFO stuff. There's some UFO disclosure stuff happening. I'll give you this. This is wild. I couldn't stop writing this section of the doc this morning. I was like, oh no. When I saw this story yesterday, I was like, here we go. And away we go. the doc this morning. I was like, oh no. No, when I saw this story yesterday, I was like you, we.
Starting point is 00:08:05 And away we go. For sure. Yeah. Anyways, all of that. Plenty more. But first, Django, we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history? Oh my gosh. I hope this doesn't weird you guys
Starting point is 00:08:24 out too much, but i've been reading a lot about the uh frank sinatra jr kidnapping yeah it's a good one wait what happened kidnapping basically in the 60s frank sinatra's kid also named frank sinatra got kidnapped out of his motel room by essentially like the three stooges three like bumbling doofuses who just fucked up every single level of the plan. They actually got the ransom money delivered to them. They managed to
Starting point is 00:08:53 successfully get their payout, which, for the record, I think they wanted $200,000, something like that. Frank Sr. offered them a million. They're like, no, no, no. $200,000 is fine. They short-sold themselves by a factor of four or five, whatever. Got the money. Let Frank Sinatra Jr. walk around.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And then, obviously, they just got caught because they're dumbasses. I've been reading a little bit about it, and it made me think, why aren't celebrities being kidnapped more often? You'd think with all the crazies out there who want to marry Jessica Simpson or whoever, you'd think that would happen all the time. And I'm not saying your listeners should do something crazy like that right now. To impress Jessica Simpson. To impress and marry and fall in love with Jessica Simpson. But I'm just surprised it doesn't happen more often.
Starting point is 00:09:46 I mean, like you think, you know, given all the technology we have these days, we can get some high class kidnappings happening. Yeah. I don't know. I think a lot of them saw how poorly the Jodie Foster approach worked in the early 80s that she wasn't into it. The Foster method. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:03 The Foster method didn't work out that well the first time around. Was that Hinkley? That was Hinkley, man. Hinkley trying to impress Jodie Foster. That's what I always say. Try, try again. There's nothing stopping Hinkley. Maybe I should stop where I am right now, where that logically goes.
Starting point is 00:10:20 But you get the idea. Yeah, right. Is he the one who said he loves Jersey Mike's now? Hinkley? Yeah. I. Is he the one who said he loves Jersey Mike's now? Hinkley? Yeah. Oh, I actually haven't been keeping up. Like when he first got released,
Starting point is 00:10:29 I was like, you know, totally up on his sandwich preferences, but I don't think I kept up. Did he, did he say like, he had this like absurd tweet and he's like, guys,
Starting point is 00:10:38 not gonna lie. Jersey Mike's really good. That's the thing about being a free man. Yeah. That's a good podcast is actually just interviewing people a month after they're released from prison and be like, all right, so like what's better than you expected?
Starting point is 00:10:53 Like what, what is like hitting from your like 1980s perspective? Like what, what, what are the advances that are good? What are the advances besides the world going and getting itself in a big damn hurry that you're not too fond of john hinkley's storming our prison like first thing i'm gonna do right now is listen to some men at work let's listen to a new album come on
Starting point is 00:11:14 i gotta see where these guys went they seem to really be on a cabbage patch kid buying spree yeah exactly yeah yes and uh the there are so many stories where when you dig into the details the criminals are not that good savvy yeah not that like it it every time i read a true crime like history i i'm always like a little bit inspired to be like, man, like that. I feel like I could have done. I would have crushed that. I'm not like these jokers. Yeah. That's why I hate to plug my new podcast,
Starting point is 00:11:52 but the guys in the podcast I'm doing the good thief, like these Greek Robin hood dudes, they, they were not fuck ups by any means. Like they, they, they cut the whole lot of like police transport vans to escape prison like while it was moving and shit so yeah they got for every for every bumbling ones you got like the really
Starting point is 00:12:10 good ones but i wonder if we never find out about because they never get caught yeah exactly and i think what's like i don't know the with like bumbling criminals or just like in the u.s i don't know if like we're so aware of like the surveillance state that it's kind of like i don't know can you get away with kidnapping anyone these days with all the cameras around or something that yeah we just don't have the imagination for you know well regular people are still getting kidnapped as far as i can tell right and yeah i think so they have cell phones they have gps locking out of their position right yeah well i think it's just a lack of all-american gumption our country has lost its way yeah right we used to do this to like you know annex places like hawaii you know
Starting point is 00:12:51 and just be like hi we took your queen give us give us everything she's ours now yeah jango what's something you think is overrated oh my god well this is going to kind of fly in the face of my whole uh summer tomatoes love but i am coming to the conclusion these last couple years that i think the season of summer is overrated i think two days in a row yeah yeah no shit yeah well there you go it's a consensus i think it's just too hot people are a little too weird and angry in New York City, especially. It just kind of like fucks the brain chemistry a little. So I think as I get older, I'm quickly transitioning to a fall man. I think fall is where it's at.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Fall is where all the dreams come true. Summer is just sticky, repetitive, day in, day out. Rain falling apart. Can't sleep at night. Three showers a day. I just can't take it anymore guys you're a fall guy i'm a fall guy there you go yeah yeah yeah it's it is like we it gets really positive media like we were talking about how heat waves the deadliest
Starting point is 00:13:59 weather event in the united states year in year out and the photographs that get like posted next to that story in the news is like children playing in a sprinkler or like drinking out of a fire hose or not people at the beach yeah like going to the beach or just somebody sweating while pouring water on their head so it's like but yeah summer i mean in addition to just like the straight up heat deaths like violence always rises during the summer bad time they should show the b-roll should be like a guy freaking out the subway like my car's not working my car's not working my car's not working like yeah losing his mind that's what summer kind of evokes for me these days yeah it's interesting too how climate change is just completely souring people now on seasons that used to be like the
Starting point is 00:14:44 coolest one like i know so like it used to be like no one would ever like i think summer is overrated unless you're like someone was like i get burned easily but now it's truly it's like it's fucking unbearable at times outside and that isn't a good feeling but i wonder if then that swings with like winter when we get like more intense winters and be like yeah and fuck the arctic freezes that we have every six months too. Got a lot in store, it seems like. What's something you think is underrated? Oh, boys, strap in for this one.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I have lately become all about room temperature water. Okay. I think I want my water the same temperature as my body i don't want it hurting my teeth i don't want space in my refrigerator my tiny new york refrigerator filled so lately it's been a pitcher of water on the counter at you know a nice 80 degrees pound it easy that's that's my approach going forward so it's not a sipping thing it's more like you're doing like a f1 pit stop just to get the hydration in quickly. Yeah, purely efficiently.
Starting point is 00:15:48 And also, I think in the same way the media hypes up summer, the media will hype up glistening, cold glasses of water with perfect cubic ice cubes. I don't think that's about it. I think water should be nice and mild so as not to offend my delicate sensibilities. i can i i feel like i can only drink ice water i don't know why i just like it feels i think that's how in my mind i elevate ice like water to like a fun thing oh it's cold and nice and crisp and now i can just drink jugs of it. But yeah. Body temp water?
Starting point is 00:16:25 All right, I'll try it. I'll think of it in the way of like, it's more about how can I get it down quickly? Yeah. I'm one of those neurotic, drink a shitload of water every day guys. So I think it just makes it easier for me. So maybe if you had a more pleasurable relationship with water, it'd be different. But for me, it's all about the function. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Why do I think room temp water is like drinks slower than cold water is that just because that my preference is cold water i'm not sure but yeah i think i can like just hammer back a lot of cold water and room temp water is like harder to get down don't you ever get the shivers i don't know oh man you guys get the shivers jingo from a little i got a hundred percent man your lips turn blue you're like i'm like i'm a delicate little flower i think that's the lesson we're learning here is i really yeah it's like don't the water can't be too hot or too cold now it has to be just around the temperature of his internal organs yeah something related to what you said about tooth pain that I've just discovered is underrated for me is sensitive toothpaste. I wasn't, for some reason, I was just not paying attention to that as an option. I've started using it lately and my teeth don't hurt anymore when I eat stuff that's cold or hot. yeah i don't know i thought i picture i thought like i limp lumped sensitive toothpaste in with elderly toothpastes for some reason yeah for people with dentures
Starting point is 00:17:53 yeah that's how it started you know what i mean but we all we all got those little sensitive spots you know sometimes it's better to do like that you got a gta5 poster behind you oh is this me? Oh, Jesus. No, this is South Vietnam, North Vietnam. The edge of it, the bottom of it. Which would be a great place for the GTA franchise to go. Vietnam War. Carjacking people in Saigon.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Yeah, right. Exactly. At the fall of Saigon. Okay. Because there's like that little peninsula at the bottom because I'm so video game brained. I'm like, oh, is that a GTA 5 map, bro? That's all. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I get it now. Yeah. Yeah. It does have little icons, you know, like banks and safe houses. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Cool. Cool. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about an imploding presidential campaign. We'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, 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.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. 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.

We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

Girl, yes. Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice.
Starting point is 00:20:19 And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do. Like resume specialist Morgan Saner.

What is it like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep.

Starting point is 00:20:51 podcasts. I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? Just come here and play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
Starting point is 00:21:26 She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke.
Starting point is 00:21:59 And we're back. And RFK Jr., he was invited by the House GOP to testify in front of the House Select Committee on weaponization of the federal government. Yeah, which is a real thing now because the Republicans have control of the House. They can just put these committees together to make their lies seem like official government business, which is really fun. Does weaponization, is that literal as in like or does that just mean like in generic terms it's just more like government bad to you right yeah yeah because you just you know you spit out misinformation constantly that's being weaponized against you it's their favorite way to just describe accountability but yeah rfk i think you know i don't know he was basically invited there to be
Starting point is 00:22:46 this like older buff attack dog to come at joe biden essentially under the guise of like talking about covid and other things and i guess in the process take down his own candidacy but a very interesting appearance here because anyway he was out here testifying under oath like the fucking internet doesn't exist. I'm just going to play. I'm just going to go clip for clip here. I'm not going to set them up. Here's one of the first things that this man said. I have never been anti-vax.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I have never told the public avoid vaccination. The only thing I've asked for and my views are constantly misrepresented so he said he's never been anti-vax right and we that's how we know rfk jr like we know him as the anti-vax guy so again shout out out to Ab The Real Truther who put out just, suddenly like just juxtapose that clip with one from him in 2020, where he's out here being like, don't get vaccinated. So here's him in 2021, just his own words, talking about what it's, you know, the responsibility of, of informed citizens to stop the wave of vaccines. The job is to resist and to talk about it to everybody. If you're walking
Starting point is 00:24:05 down the street, and I do this now myself, which is, you know, I don't want to do it. I'm not a busybody. I see somebody on a hiking trail with a caring little baby, and I say to them, better not get them vaccinated. And you hear that?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Shit! Yeah, just enjoying the splendor of nature hey you hey better not get vaccinated yeah what the fuck are you talking about and then he goes on to be like and then if he hears it from me and if he hears it from 10 other people then maybe he won't do it and save that child from the vaccines all he needs is 10 more presidential candidates to come up to him in public. Yeah, exactly. By the way, does his voice always sound like that? I think it might be the first time I've ever actually heard
Starting point is 00:24:51 him talk. That's horrible. Yeah, it's surprising. He has some condition that sort of like Susan Collins. Yeah, it's like spasmatic voice something. Now I feel bad. Well, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Nobody really knows where it comes from. The vaccine, I think. I think it might be vaccination. And then he goes on, right, with this interesting parade. He said, I never compared COVID restrictions to Nazi Germany. I never did that. He did do that. And Cheryl Hines,
Starting point is 00:25:26 at the time, was like, I know this is my man, but that's not how I feel. So here, let's just hear him again act like, you know, the internet doesn't fucking exist. He's talking to Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz here, where she's being like, all right, let me put you on the spot about these comments. See that? You're trying to rewrite history here. A few months ago, Mr. Kennedy, you compared COVID public health policies to barbaric, murderous tactics of Nazi Germany, saying that Jewish people in Nazi Germany had more freedom than Americans facing COVID health restrictions. In hindsight, Mr. Kennedy, do you reject this absurd and deeply hurtful and harmful comparison, or do you still stand by it? Congressman, what you are saying is a lie.
Starting point is 00:26:04 You said it she said first of all congresswoman fam it's a lie no i did not i never continue i never ever mr chairman i'm happy to answer the record when mr kennedy said that i reclaim my time okay so again just to check in that exact quote that he said, maybe he didn't say those exact words. What he did say was, quote, even in Hitler's Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did. Which seemed like it was cool and worked out well for her. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Which is like, what does that even mean? Yeah. But again, here he is. And then just because he was like, sir, you're trying to like rewrite history. Here's him being like, I never said anything anti-semitic in my life and sir we just talked about this but again here's his passionate defense about how he's been smeared about inflation about the war on the middle class in this country that we need to be having and and by the way i want to say this while i'm on the record that in my entire life and why i'm under oath in my entire life i have never uttered a phrase that was either racist or
Starting point is 00:27:19 anti-semitic i have spent my life okay sir we just Talked about the fart dinner We just talked about that Fart dinner where he's like yeah COVID I don't know it could be designed To spare the Chinese and Ashkenazi Jews Am I right folks I don't think he views these statements
Starting point is 00:27:40 As being racist or anything It's just him telling it how it is His head's like no are, are you kidding me? I was just making some common sense comments about phrenology and race science. Anyone can see. Look up any of the textbooks that I wrote. Also,
Starting point is 00:27:56 shout out in that last clip to the intern who's rocking the red bow tie. It's definitely what you call a statement intern piece where you're trying to stick out among your fellow congressional interns. That's what you got to do. You got to have just one little piece of flair. He's got like Cousin Greg
Starting point is 00:28:13 from Succession vibes. Yeah, absolutely. That's the way to do it. You got to stick out from the horde by having a little, what do you call it, statement piece like that. Or you're just saying I'm a big Tucker Carlson fan. Yeah, huge Tucker fan.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah, he can kill so many birds with one tie. Cheryl Hunt specifically called his comments on the Anne Frank comparison reprehensible and insensitive. So his own wife. It must be very exhausting to be married to him. My reprehensible husband. Right. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:28:47 It's such a weird, that combo, I still don't understand. But hey, here we are. And again, this seriously unserious human is up here sucking up airtime. But, you know, Fox News loves to just clip that stuff out and be like, he's getting attacked. Because Joe Byron's government is a weapon now. Yeah. They're having to come up with heroes on the right you know uh jason aldean who i i hadn't connected this but
Starting point is 00:29:11 yeah he was the he was the artist who was on stage during the shooting in vegas yeah and yeah now he is like the news the new cause celebre on the right totally and i think you know again people are taking his try that in a small town or whatever the fuck it's called you know since it got pulled from cmt i don't know he's like i don't know why it did i mean to us it looks like kyle rittenhouse's mushroom trip like with all the weird fucked up imagery and he's like i don't know what the fuck happened there but i was i never said anything racist or talked about race. Just the imagery was so terribly racially charged. And, you know, I sang in front of a courthouse where someone was lynched in the 20s.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Anyway, all that aside, so many so many pundits and like other people on the right have just come to jump in to defend him. Senator Marsha Blackburn said the libs are doing cancel culture to him. Jesse Waters actually evoked kyle rittenhouse he said it's the same thing they did to kyle rittenhouse in kenosha and the mccloskeys in st louis that was the white couple where the lady had the little handgun pointed all weird and the guy with the mustard stain shirt and the marine in the subway oh boy scare you out of defending your non-racist stuff but listen to this he's Scare you out of defending your land. You know, non-racist stuff. But listen to this. He's saying, scare you out of defending your land, family, and property. Once you are scared, you're easier to control. And then it's open season on all of us.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Damn. Yeah. Also, the libs at CMT. Right. Well, that's correct. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, the left is now more concerned about Jason LDS on calling out the looters and criminals than they are about stopping looters and criminals that tells you everything you need to know about the priorities of Democrats and the woke companies like CMT
Starting point is 00:30:55 that came into the liberal mob what the woke CM some things are just reprehensible objectively it seems maybe that's what it is. But yeah, I don't know. Again, it's just like what's wild. Like you're saying, Jack, he was on stage when the shooting erupted in Vegas. You know, that was in 2017. And then like the lyrics in the song are talking about like shooting people because you like gun control. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:21 It's like you want to take my guns and I'll shoot you. Anyway, try that in a small town and everything like i just love this stupid dichotomy of like in the city people are fucking they're knifing each other every day as they go ride their lime scooters to the jamba juice but not in a small town it's this weird combination where like us city folk are like soft little cry babies and get our lattes. And also we're murdering each other day and night. Just like it's a fucking bloodbath here while we're like doing liberal things and listening to, you know, fresh air and stuff. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Exactly. Yeah. It's like a massacre. They're like, did you know in L.A. you have to drop kick a police officer in the back to be able to buy a Dodger hat? Just so you know, that's the initiation process. That's what it is. You get jumped in.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Yeah. But they just have like a clip, like a 30 clip highlight reel of violence, like closed camera TV violence from cities that is just constantly on loop and all of their brains. That's like, this is what, this is just what you see walking down the street.
Starting point is 00:32:26 You know, there's no selection bias here at all. This is not at all. The clockwork orange, like eyes held open things. If you're voluntarily doing it and watching commercials for flow max in between, they're so concerned about us.
Starting point is 00:32:40 I'm just like, I'm good. We're good here in our cities. I love that. You know, there's, there's, he's trying to say like, that's good songs about, you know, just being against violence.
Starting point is 00:32:49 No, you're projecting more vigilante bullshit out there in an era like we're already, like, white people are on a literal hair trigger when it comes to the outside world. How many people are just getting shot because, like, someone walked to their door or something? Like, even, like, even like that, like white woman got in someone's car. Cause that was an Uber. And then she got shot. Like, this isn't again,
Starting point is 00:33:11 good to see that the, the, his, his way to spread the message is to be like, yeah, I just need to stoke more fear out there and also get people on there. Like I'm going to fuck you up type ethos. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:21 And finally, another new cause celebrate a new hero of the right i mean he's been he's been here he's been jesus uh jim caviezel who is like an avid q anon weirdo like the i guess the events of the movie don't specifically reference q anon and it's pretty much like a straightforward liam neeson film about like people going to other countries to fight against... Not saying that the politics aren't fucked up in the movie, but just that they're not doing the overt QAnon water carrying that I think I had assumed because it stars Jim Caviezel
Starting point is 00:34:02 and because of the way it was being celebrated. But he is straight up and down. Like QAnon thinks that Donald Trump saves like is Liam Neeson and saving people from child trafficking instead of probably accidentally a party to sex trafficking like on a regular basis. Accidentally. Yeah. I'm quite a bit of credit here yeah yeah like at least here's him just getting down to the nitty-gritty of what's next you know in this battle against satanic traffickers go after the traffickers do you think he would do you think he understands that we were with him last night yes oh so he's going
Starting point is 00:34:43 to be moved to do this oh he's talking about i didn't know that he wasn't here last night. Oh, Donald Trump. He's going to be moved to do this. Oh, he's talking about Donald Trump. This is the new Moses. I mean, I'm still Jesus, but he's the new Moses. Pharaoh, let my children go free. Alright, I did not know that was an impression. It was even too much for Kilmeade.
Starting point is 00:35:02 He was like, fuck, dude, what? So it's Jim Caviezel and like I don't know who's next to him, but it feels like a very nervous Jim Caviezel handler. Yeah. And then Brian Kilmeade interviewing him, and he has the glassiest look, like just straight walked out of the cult indoctrination ceremony of which he is the messiah,
Starting point is 00:35:26 and is just like speaking slowly not breaking just intense eye contact with brian killmeat talking about how we met with him last night okay i am still great he said i'm still jesus yeah that is fucking wild like he didn't even say it like tongue in cheek like no the look in his eyes i think that's why it fucking weirded you know kill me don't need out because because he just sat across i just want to just one more time i mean i'm still jesus but he's the new moses he's not laughing he's not laughing does that mean he's like what jim plays it pretty straight man yeah seriously amazing that didn't that get like the beatles in trouble when they compared themselves to like on the q meter jesus
Starting point is 00:36:13 is curating i feel like john lennon was like we're as big as jesus right now and you know the the right was up in arms but this dude dude is like, we're not bigger. I'm not bigger than Jesus. I am straight up Jesus. He goes, I am him. He's on a basketball court and shit. Like point.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Yes. Read the name on the back. Motherfucker Christ up in here. But what does that even be? Like what, what's their relationship at that point? Because what Moses, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:45 chronologically, a couple of years. Yeah. Different testaments, isn't it? Because what Moses, you know, chronologically, a couple of years, different testaments, isn't it? Yeah. So what do you, I don't, whatever.
Starting point is 00:36:51 I don't know. I'm like, I'm like all my, like, you know, religious school teachings are coming back into my mind, trying to make sense of like that relationship. Like,
Starting point is 00:36:57 so what does that mean? Yeah. He's like, he's Moses, you know, but I'm Christ. Yeah. It's also interesting.
Starting point is 00:37:04 Just like Trump, you know, but I'm Christ. Yeah. It's also interesting, just like Trump, you know, already was president. And not only did he not solve the problem of human trafficking, he actually made it worse with, you know, the like his immigration crackdowns, which are policies. Can you point out, Jack? Don't just say Donald Trump made it worse because I'm tired of these libs doing this kind of stuff. So it was immigration crackdowns, kneecapped legal and humanitarian avenues. And so, like, people were not able, you know, the organizations that are there to police, like, what is happening when people immigrate to the country were just not able to. It was just open season and so there was way more trafficking and uh way fewer human trafficking arrests sex child sex trafficking prosecutions
Starting point is 00:37:54 in federal court went way down under trump so i guess okay well that's just like your opinion man it's true that it is it is striking like seeing the upward trend of federal prosecutions for child sex trafficking and then it's trump and then it's just way way way down look how low they are on bush though what was happening there i guess we were just like so bogged down in afghanistan at the time yeah and i think we just didn't also like societally just had no mind to make sense of even what trafficking was or like child abuse because everyone's like what do you what does that mean it's a simpler time yeah i think the the biggest thing was like jared fogel at the time for people to be like yeah like that
Starting point is 00:38:35 guy him bad and like we're completely ignoring all the other ways in which it happens yeah all right let's take another quick break and we'll come back and we'll talk some UFO disclosure. and iHeart Podcasts. When you're just starting out in your career, you have a lot of questions, like how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed? Or can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job? Girl, yes. Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume specialist Morgan Saner. The only difference between the person we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume specialist Morgan Saner. The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote. What is it like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career. Without sacrificing your sanity or sleep. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I'm Jess Casavetto, 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. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts,
Starting point is 00:40:34 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 I'm Carrie Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:41:52 The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. And so, you know, I'm open to this. Like, sometimes I say, like, every time I read one of these, like, do a deep dive on UFO reporting, disclosure, all that stuff. I'm like, why do we ever talk about anything else? Because it feels important. So it felt like there was an ebb. It felt like there was an ebb, like things were kind of coming to a close with this new wave of, you know, the New York Times reported on like some military surveillance and military acknowledging that there are these videos and, you know, evidence of efforts. There was a hearing on Capitol Hill. But it seemed like it ended with a bunch of like redacted material where the mainstream media's takeaway seemed to have been they didn't say it's definitely aliens so we can all move along. Like, it just felt like we were like, all right, well, we're kind of tired of this story. And it felt like things were calming down. So during that time, they introduced some whistleblower protections for people coming forward with like evidence of, you know, things happening around UAPs that weren't supposed to be happening.
Starting point is 00:43:21 UAPs is Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, which is like what they call UFOs because they don't want to be happening uaps is unidentified aerial phenomenon which is like what they call ufos because they don't want to be they feel like there's a stigma from the era of flying saucers and shit who's complaining about that yeah exactly i'm a uap yeah but so chuck schumer and a bipartisan committee is not letting it drop and has proposed what the Hill describes as stunning legislation because it implies that, you know, after all the reports and information gathering that they went through in the past couple of years, they think, quote, the U.S. government or private contractors may secretly possess recovered UFOs and biological evidence of living or deceased non-human intelligence that's a that's the wild that's in a thing chuck schumer like introduced right that you're being like yo man they got crews out here just scooping up crashed spaceships and the fuckers inside and you're like yeah huh love it love seeing mainstream politicians come around to David Duchovny's school. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I mean, the thing that I hear a lot of smart people say is like every time this comes up, I'm like looking around to see what they're trying to cover up. Like this always feels like a distraction, like a smokescreen for, you know, whatever. Like renewing the Patriot Act or something. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But it also feels like. That shit just happens all the up to. Yeah, exactly. But it also feels like... That shit just happens all the time now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Oh, man. It feels like they don't need that. And also, this is the most high-profile politician, since, I guess, Harry Reid, to come through and attach his name to something that was just like, yeah, man, it feels like aliens are real and we have have them like hidden in a warehouse or some shit i don't know like we should look into this yeah or the last two democratic senate majority leaders just really
Starting point is 00:45:14 into ufos like yeah this is like it feels like maybe the reverse is true and they're like yeah no one's really paying attention so now would be an okay time for me to like introduce this weird legislation that because i think a lot of people are just like scared of acknowledge like attaching their name to something that acknowledges the possibility because it's been like crackpot and seen as crackpot for so long yeah i think people people would get behind it i mean like you like it's just so much more interesting it's like it's a bipartisan thing like who who is not interested in aliens like why even marco rubio is yeah marco rubio is all over this shit i mean i think he was kind of the public face of the first round and i had kind of associated that with the thing of like well
Starting point is 00:46:00 they said that they're not definitively aliens, so we're good here. But according to the legislation, non-human intelligence is defined as any sentient, intelligent, non-human life form, regardless of nature or ultimate origin, which may be presumed responsible for UFOs, which, especially when you're talking about like clandestine programs of recovering crashed spaceships. And right. The thing that gives me a little bit of pause or gives it a little more like seriousness is because the Senate does not like hearing about shit they don't know about, especially when they have oversight committees and things like this. like hearing about shit they don't know about especially when they have oversight committees and things like this so when a whistleblower comes and tells them yo there's all this shit that it's happening that you guys have absolutely no fucking clue about that's when like their egos get in the mix and they're like well hold the fuck up what and now they want to start getting some answers because you know i'm there there are plenty of programs that obviously may be shielded from the senate but it sounds like from Schumer's perspective and the other senators are like, it seems like a lot of this is going on and we have zero idea about it. And that's what's kind of fucking with us, because now other countries also have programs like this.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Yeah, they're saying that the U.S. is not alone. So the thing that I hadn't realized that felt like it was happening behind the scenes and there is a lot of reporting on it, but it just didn't feel like it made a huge dent in the zeitgeist. Like this guy, David Grush, was like this super high clearance intelligence official who, you know, we talked about Lou Elizondo, who was leading like the Pentagon program on this. And then in 2017, he kind of defected and was like look like we need to just be transparent about this like this is what we're looking at it feels like nobody's acknowledging the possibility of this well there's been another one of those this guy david rush who like you know the pictures of him he just looks like a like military dork like all the pictures of these people that's that's the thing
Starting point is 00:48:05 that just seems so strange it's like all these guys with like silver hair just like combed like with like you know huge hairspray like silver they just look like they're the picture on the wall at the local like military recruitment office like they just look so buttoned up they have like you know the salad on their chest and like all all the you know military the ribbons ribbons ribbons and little tags and stuff yeah i suppose like they're really going a long way to like subverting the stereotypes of these people like bringing them to like respectability is just no longer i think like the professor with like the two puffs of hair on either side yeah you know the dreamy look in their eyes now like some square who works in like a high-level clearance office being like look this is an issue yeah this is
Starting point is 00:48:55 really weird guys yeah the the guy like the person i keep picturing you like whenever they talk about like government officials who are like aware of this stuff i picture the scientist from independence day who has like long ratty like rat's nest hair and glasses and the alien like takes over his body like i'm like yeah sure there's a couple weirdos in the star trek yeah sure there's a couple weirdos from the military but but yeah all these guys are just and when you like that there has been like there was an astronaut who was like yeah before i was an astronaut i was an air force pilot and i saw a flying saucer and like chased it around the sky and then it just sped up and like i couldn't catch up to it like there's there's a lot of testimony from people who just don't seem like the
Starting point is 00:49:43 stereotypical person who like makes this shit up. I'm like, that was the thing, like Marco Rubio came through and was like, look, there's two things. One of two things is happening here. Either what this guy is saying is partially true or entirely true. Or we have some or like part two, we have like a bunch, like a network of really smart, educated people with high military clearance and very important positions in our government who are crazy and are just like making shit up in a very like coordinated way to like send us on a weird wild goose chase. And like that, that feels wrong, you know? But like if that's true, that's also worth looking into. But yeah, so this guy,
Starting point is 00:50:28 David Grush, like he basically came out, there was a bunch of retaliation when he started trying to like be transparent about the stuff that he was seeing. And then they created this like whistleblower protection to make it so that you weren't allowed to retaliate against people for like coming forward with this sort of information and once they did that like all of these dudes started coming forward and just being like
Starting point is 00:50:55 yeah there's like it seemed i guess there's all these different agencies just like nested inside like other military like parts of the military who like their purpose seems to be investigating and like sometimes recovering crashed spacecraft that there's no other way to say it you know it's like yeah like i'm like i'm stopping myself i'm like this doesn't seem right. But yeah, yeah. Like that. That's the question. Like what? Like Margarito also said, what incentive would so many people with that kind of qualification?
Starting point is 00:51:39 These are serious people have to come forward and make something up that would completely ruin their career. Right. Yeah. And again, the words that Grush like says, this is when I was like, oh, fuck, this is wild, because he's talking about like this is a coordinated effort. But like other organizations involved to recover the craft or whatever and then fucking disappear them basically. And then also learn from them and profit from them right exactly yeah that's the thing that's getting brought up that scares the shit out of me is there they're like and there's a lot of private military contractors who are also aware of this and also in the business of like recovering this stuff and then trying to learn from it and profit from it and reverse engineer the technology that's yeah what makes it really and i don't know if that
Starting point is 00:52:25 gives credence to the idea of like some of these other tic tacs aren't again this is like super wild out there shit but when they talk about how their people like from his perspective they are actively trying to reverse engineer the technology and try and figure it out that i wonder if if this is true like if does every country have like little crashed space people that they're trying to fucking be like, Hey man, show me how to turn this, turn this iPod into a bomb or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Like what? I don't know. That's what makes it. I think maybe of more interest to the Senate. If they think now this is maybe like, we're talking about technologies that we're barely understanding and like people are fucking having lab laboratory time with. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:04 I still like the idea of something privatized this quickly out the gate it feels like like i mean you know the last 20 years like you know companies in general just like taking every step they can to fuck with our lives in every little way be it you know pop-up ads or like you know ads at the gas station so imagine like alien technology being used to extract even more of our happiness out of our lives. Like, it's like, so, so kind of like photon, photon, photon pop-up ad or photon, photon ATM fee.
Starting point is 00:53:35 It's not, not very inspiring to me right now. Yeah. Capitalism with extraterrestrial technology. Yeah. It's an ugly, ugly idea. Yeah. Yeah. Just a couple more quotes from so jonathan gray
Starting point is 00:53:47 is a generational officer of the united states intelligence community with a top secret clearance who currently works for the national air and space intelligence center uh where the analysis of uap has been his focus and this is just a direct quote from this person. The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone. Like, just get over it. Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us. This other guy who is like a Carl Nell, a retired army colonel who worked with Grush on the UAP task force, says his assertion concerning the existence of a terrestrial arms race occurring sub Rasa over the past 80 years focused on reverse engineering technologies of unknown origin is fundamentally correct,
Starting point is 00:54:40 as is the indisputable realization that at least some some of these technologies of unknown origin derived from non-human intelligence this is a retired army colonel that's just like his opinion so fucking weird man like yeah what do you do with those quotes you know yeah like I don't know. Like, I don't trust the military, but I also, like, just don't understand why these people are necessarily all coming out and coordinating to be like, yeah, like, this is what's going on. It's really fucked up. We really don't want this in, like, private hands, but it's like everybody's doing it. So we might as well just like tell the truth like it it doesn't seem more profitable like the one of the arguments that i'd always like had in my mind is that okay the military is going to start doing this to justify like increased military budgets which like part of the problem with that explanation is that nobody is significantly pushing back against military budgets so like they don't they don't need to create aliens every day. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:48 And also like what, and the direction of these quotes does not seem to be, so we need to like get on our shit and start out spending people. It's like, we need to tell people the truth about what's happening. Right. I don't know. It's very strange.
Starting point is 00:56:06 I mean, that's, I think what the military people in the military know one thing, power and violence. And I think what potentially if they're motivated, they're probably motivated by the idea that some, some terrible shit could happen that like, we're not quite figuring out the fact that he said a terrestrial arms race
Starting point is 00:56:25 occurring like in a clandestine way for the past 80 years like he's basically saying our current technology like the past 80 years of military development has at least been partially influenced by this ship god can you imagine it's like waking up one day in China and all of a sudden has some god-awful... Silent hovering craft. Hey, guess what? This is over now. Sorry, yeah, we built five Iron Men.
Starting point is 00:56:55 So, good luck. And a Dr. Manhattan, for good measure. So, here we go. To me, that's what I think gives me a little bit of pause is when you have these guys who are all about destroying shit with weapons it almost feels like hey y'all like we got to figure this out because i don't know if we're behind or ahead or whatever but like we got to know about this shit and people need to know about this shit that's
Starting point is 00:57:19 that is a little alarming so where i wonder where this storage unit is with all the cool spaceships. Like that's the thing. It seems like it's every, like there, there are multiple all over the place. Some in private hands. Like that's what scares the shit out of me.
Starting point is 00:57:33 The private sector. Harlan Crow. That's where it's real fucked up. Yeah. Welcome to my alien wing. Yeah. He's like, Oh,
Starting point is 00:57:42 he's like, yeah, the Nazi stuff is so trite. Check out this spaceship. Yeah. But's like, Oh, he's like, yeah, the Nazi stuff is so trite. Check out this spaceship. Yeah. But if you look at it, you will get ocular cancer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I don't know why we're still trying to figure that out. So just only look for a little bit. The house oversight committee will hold a hearing on July 26th. So next week featuring roughly half a dozen, what they call superstar witnesses who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations talking about this stuff. So it is an ongoing story and it seems like this is going to be more and more of a thing, I would think, because it really seems like the whistleblower protection just opened up the floodgates and now everyone's just like, all's just like alright so I can like say the thing now oh yeah yeah we're not oh my god it's fucking weird dude
Starting point is 00:58:30 yeah it's crazy out here real vindication for a lot of people could be real vindication for a lot of people who live out in the desert Tom DeLonge Tom DeLonge's having a great year he is fucking climbing back up man when Travis Barker comes knocking on his door or Tom DeLonge. Tom DeLonge's having a great year. He really is. He is
Starting point is 00:58:45 fucking climbing back up, man. When Travis Barker comes knocking on his door to get the band back, he's like, Well, itchy, well, itchy, well, itchy. Look who came crying. Come back for the wacko. Sorry, I gotta testify for the house tomorrow. I can't join your
Starting point is 00:59:01 little garage band. Yeah, exactly. About shit you guys were laughing at me about you fuck oh fuck you man i'm right now but it is interesting to see like what this process is going to be of if this is true truly how do you begin a reckoning with that like that's a huge fucking mental bridge to cross. Like as people, as a government, whatever it'd be like. So y'all,
Starting point is 00:59:27 yes, we've been real quiet about this shit, but there are, people have been recovering stuff for a while now and we're not alone. And some people are kind of trying to start fucking around with the technology. I actually have been for years that like, even I have trouble being like,
Starting point is 00:59:40 Oh, for real. Like I'm, for Congress. That's like, like, you know, arguing about like, you know, LGBT flags and like, you real? For a Congress that's arguing about
Starting point is 00:59:45 LGBT flags and Jason Aldean songs, they have to now start grappling with existential questions that redefine how we view the universe and how we view ourselves. That doesn't seem like they're really equipped to handle that. They're going to be like, we need to kill the woke aliens.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Right. What? More woke aliens. I had that? Yeah. Woke aliens. I had that thought during the course of this. It was like, what's Marjorie Taylor Greene going to do with this information? You know? Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:14 I mean, here's the thing. I can imagine that you could get a lot of religious fanatics on edge. Yeah. Absolutely. Because that would completely fuck their Worldview up, you know what I mean Unless, what are they gonna say, it's Christ Come back on a spaceship
Starting point is 01:00:31 Are they gonna say it's Satan On a spaceship, are they gonna say it's a lie Because we are, actually everything Revolves around our little earth, because God Says so, I I don't know, this will be Something tells me they'll be able to very easily invent
Starting point is 01:00:46 some new rule that automatically resolves this. They never seem to be that caught up by inconsistencies. They seem to be good at converting
Starting point is 01:00:57 large events into outrage in some way or another. Right. What are they going to blame? Joe Biden? Yeah. Well, so all of this does... You brought this alien scourge upon us joe biden yeah yeah one of the things zero aliens
Starting point is 01:01:11 yeah deal with it god what if trump's the president when all this shit breaks through one of the things this creates is a nine-person, congressional committee that is sort of the acknowledged, like, you know, all this stuff was happening inside a closed box. And this would at least be a, like, this nine-person committee would be able to review all documents having to do with any, you know, discovery of extraterrestrial objects or materials or whatever and then like make a decision as to whether to declassify it or share it with the public so i'm guessing like it won't just be they won't be like yep post it on the discord it's going to be pretty you know but but at least it like opens the idea of there being a release valve to the public which has to be better than just the closed you know underground thing that's been happening uh but then it does ultimately i think land with the president like that would be the design is that the president gets to decide if it
Starting point is 01:02:19 if something is declassified dude if trump was fucking president again he wouldn't he would keep all the alien shit for himself. Yeah. He'd just be there next to some boxing gloves from, you know, Mike Tyson's comeback. I'm getting some wild radiological readings off of that shard of metal on your desk.
