Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Weekly Zeitgeist.
These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop
infotainment laughstravaganza.
So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist.
What is something you think is underrated?
Something I've really gotten into recently is reading the print newspaper.
Just as we like are all like consuming more news than ever, like online.
I like how it organizes information in a way that's a little like easier to know what's important and what's not.
On the Internet, sometimes everything feels like an equally sized piece of information but in the newspaper it's
like here's the front page like here's the stupid shit you don't have to worry about uh and you also
have the feeling of being done at some point which is so much better than the internet where it's
like oh you've read everything in the newspaper you can throw it away now. Imagine scrolling to the bottom of Twitter one day, and you're like,
wait, it's not...
No, I've read everything?
Right. Does the world
connect?
What print publications are you
subscribing to? I read the
LA Times. Never
heard of it.
And I get it. This I
really love, because I'm worried about it like
piling up in my house and like tipping over to me and stuff yeah yeah uh and so i get are you a
hoarder well i mean like you would if you get it at your house it's gonna just pile up and that's
how the new yorker is too sometimes yeah totally too many oh my god uh so i get it delivered to
like the cafe near my house so i can like go get it there and like read it there.
I feel like it's a New York.
I'm like trying to get the like bodega lifestyle.
Yeah.
Like living in New York.
I didn't even know that was an option.
I just asked.
I was like, is this okay?
And they're like, yeah, I guess.
They probably thought I was setting up some weird alibi.
Right, right, right.
No, I live here.
This is where my newspaper goes.
Hey, can you hold this newspaper up
and we take a photo right now?
And also, can we point to the clock
what time it is?
Okay, cool.
Thanks.
I'll probably never be back.
You can keep all the newspapers.
Yeah, no, I totally feel you
on having the information organized for you.
I subscribe to the Sunday New York Times
and just having a front page
to read all those stories
and feel like, okay,
those were the most important stories
of that week,
according to people
who are paying attention to the news
is kind of a good tool.
And you get T Magazine.
I go right to T Magazine.
I love that it weighs 50 pounds.
Yeah, exactly. I don't know if there's anything that's not love that it weighs 50 pounds. Yeah, exactly.
I don't know if there's anything that's not an ad in it.
No.
Yeah, what is T Magazine?
I've only seen the cover of it and just promptly.
The binding is like three-dimensional.
It's so thick.
Yeah.
Like when you pick up the Sunday Times and it's so heavy, that's all T Magazine.
Yeah, mostly T Magazine.
What's something people think is true you know to be false i do a show about a la a podcast about like la news and stuff
called la podcast and we talk a lot about housing and homelessness uh stuff that is like a huge deal
in la and in pretty much every major city now. And there are so many myths around that.
And the one that I think probably comes up the most is that it's really expensive to house homeless.
The thing that's keeping the homeless people from being housed is cost.
Right.
When really what's super expensive is what we do now, which is let people live on the
street.
So they go to the emergency room every day.
They go in and out of jail. That shit is really, really expensive. It is cheaper to just provide
homes for people. Yeah, that's awesome. And we have a lot of money available to actually tackle
this problem, but we're kind of running into a lot of neighborhoods where people are, haven't
quite realized that this is actually a good solution to homelessness. And they just see people like, you know, there've been town hall meetings where people are't quite realized that this is actually a good solution to homelessness.
And they just see people like, you know, there have been town hall meetings where people are screaming down homeless people who have gotten back on their feet from support housing.
And people are like, we don't care about your story or whatever.
And they think there's like a whole pushback in the city, too,
where we have the money to do this, actually.
It's been, it's all there.
We just have to find the places to do it.
And yeah, it's true.
There's no harder place to try and recover,
whether you have mental illness or something else going on,
than doing that on the street.
You know what I mean?
And it's such a simple thing,
but we're still trying to overcome the optics, I think,
of people just the idea of there being support housing near them
thinks, oh, it's going to breed crime or whatever.
Yeah, when the alternative is people living near you on the street, like you're saying, which
I would think, yeah, that you would like people moving inside instead of sleeping on the sidewalk.
But yeah, like exactly like you're saying, the money is so much easier to get than it
is to spend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and recently in the city, there's a new program that the mayor is saying, hey,
turn all your rental rentable units in the back of your house, your garage or in-law suite or whatever.
We can subsidize these people living there to help get back on their feet.
There are solutions that we're trying to pursue.
But, yeah, there's a it's definitely like you say, there's this idea, this preconceived notion about what it means to help rehabilitate homeless people or get them
the support they need
that people have all around. But yeah, we're moving
step by step. But
we gotta take bigger steps.
I live by UCLA and they have this huge
veterans campus.
It's like right in the middle
of the city. It's a huge campus
that's just like old
rotting buildings that
haven't been used for decades.
They say they can't really
put housing on it. They're finally starting to.
Instead, they let the Brentwood
school, the private school, play tennis
there and stuff like that.
The mail
bomb suspect was
taken into custody on Friday
morning in Florida. Surprise, surprise.
Very quickly.
Cesar Sayoc
or Cesar
Sayoc as the
FBI dude called him. Yeah, Chris
Ray. Chris Ray. Handled that
pronunciation. Cesar Sayoc.
So he seems to be
basically a
cartoon of what you would expect based on the targets.
Oh, yeah.
And clearly, like, first we found out, oh, they have someone in custody.
And then the images started coming out of, like, this van that he was driving around in.
And you're like, what is going on?
Because everything is basically a Trump meme or some kind of like far right propaganda thing.
Youth soccer.
Yeah.
Also, my favorite sticker of all was youth soccer prospects for Trump, which is my favorite construction of Trump supporter is some obscure group for Trump.
Right.
Right.
Like Christian dads who vape for Trump or something like that.
who vape for Trump or something like that.
But all of the images when you look, you're like, oh, of course, before we saw a very common thread with all of the targets of people who received the bombs.
And then when you look, you're like, oh, you have a sticker with Hillary Clinton in actual
crosshairs on your van or Obama or CNN.
It was Van Jones.
But it was just like I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
And it's a van.
Yeah, and it's a van.
Right.
And he also ended up having like Facebook accounts.
Now, they don't know if these are his, but these Facebook accounts, he was the only follower
of.
And like there was a lot of overlap where one page was literally just called, the first
name was Kill George and the last name was Soros.
Another one was like Kill All and the last name was like Socialists.
And the last name was Soros.
Another one was like Kill All.
And the last name was like Socialists.
And there's a lot of common imagery between those Facebook pages and like what is on his Twitter account, which is like a very dark account where you could say, oh, this person intends to do harm to progressives or Democrats or whoever's against Trump.
Right. Now, the fact that he is a cartoon of what you would expect has caused a lot of people on the right to immediately claim, well, they were claiming this before we even saw this
dude, but they've been claiming false flag from Jump Street, basically. And now that there's,
it appears to be a mentally ill person who is basically a cartoon caricature of a Trump supporter, they're even more like, okay, this is just too obvious.
Oldest trick in the book.
Blame it on the crazy guy, guys.
Come on.
That's all over R. The Donald.
R. The Donald actually got into the idea that this guy was from Broward, which is also where the Parkland shooter is from. And as we all know, the Parkland shooter is clearly a Democratic
operative who was just trying to help gun control. But yeah, the thread that was talking about that
was saying Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and Page, they aren't the only ones, because clearly the whole FBI and Department of Justice, full of Trump appointees, were all in on constructing this vast conspiracy to bomb Trump's opponents so that people would hate Trump, their boss.
Trump's opponent so that people would hate Trump, their boss.
Just the idea that this is too obvious is mind boggling because this guy does not appear to be a fan of subtlety.
No.
Just based on his van.
I mean, the evidence is so overwhelming.
And his motive is literally plastered all over the car he's driving if someone tells you who they are believe them yes absolutely and that's usually something you
tell teenagers about like their friends but this is a no this is they're saying exactly what their
intentions are and it's happening yet we're still surprised right the yeah again this is just like you know it's it's hard to for them they they cannot operate in a world where they've
done anything wrong or there's any that there's any possibility that the rhetoric they use or
the policies they pursue could be viewed as negative this does moral this seems like a new
level of dangerous to me that they are physically, you know, attacking or trying to attack and just not being like bright enough.
Engineer Doug was saying like, well, the Unabomber, they never caught him.
Like, what was this guy doing differently?
And it's like everything.
Like this guy did not have the knowledge of like how to do what he was trying to accomplish.
knowledge of like how to do what he was trying to accomplish.
Well, the other thing is like, you know, granted, we're here saying, well, well, looks like,
you know, from when we saw the targets are like, oh, this seems like someone, maybe a far right person or someone who supports the agenda of the far right.
And then you see the van and you're like, OK, I'm not here saying that Donald Trump
told this person to do it.
I can very much see a world where this person is mentally ill.
He happens to gravitate towards this media diet,
and that has spurred this on.
People on the right, or at least the people who are trying to defend this,
they can't even go as far as to say, just on the evidence alone,
just say, it looks like this person may have been a follower
of the right wing media.
Yeah.
At the very least.
You don't have to say by admitting that doesn't mean you're saying, oh, Republicans are responsible for this.
Although, let's be real, when you look at all the shit that Trump says and that people on Fox News say, this seems like clearly those voices in your head are coming from somewhere.
Yeah, because there are pictures of him at rallies, which we can assume is where the indoctrination started.
Well, I think it's also a further indictment of him being one of them
is that they see him and they're like,
it must be a false flag because he is one of them.
They don't want to be blamed for this
because he's a guy who is like Ben Shapiro
and like the people who are,
you know,
far right,
mega chuds,
you know?
And it's.
Well,
right.
And Ben Shapiro,
he was out here being like,
Oh wow.
Blame,
blame the right again.
When he's someone himself has like embroiled in a controversy where his
rhetoric clearly was being consumed or his podcasts or ideas are being consumed by
a guy who shot up a mosque.
Right.
So Rush Limbaugh is pointing to the fact that the stickers are placed too evenly on this
person's van and not sun faded to prove that it's a setup.
And Rush Limbaugh is like a mainstream right wing media personality.
Like he is feeding them their thoughts.
He's a thought leader in their world.
And yeah, I just don't, I think this is extremely, extremely dangerous.
Well, yeah, because they're being fed that there aren't going to be any consequences
and we're going to do backflips to get you out of it if you do.
Yeah.
Because we've seen it both with like the Proud Boys when they assault someone.
We've seen it now.
We just we keep seeing someone just barely slip through because they don't want to even be associated with them.
So they'll do the gymnastics it takes to excuse it.
And it's making it so much easier for them to step further and further across the line
and cause harm.
Yeah, because the further we get away from, at the very least, being objective enough
to say, at the very least, they could say, you know what?
Clearly, this is a sign that this left-right polarization is leading to this kind of thing
would be the minimum you could say to be a humane person.
Yeah.
thing would be like the minimum you could say to be a humane person yeah and we were living in a country right now where there are race like this racist and violent rhetoric is translating into
real world violence whether it's uh heather hire being run over by a car whether it's mail bombs
being sent or white supremacists in kentucky pulling up into a kroger and just shooting black
people at random while telling
like another white person outside, oh, don't worry.
Don't shoot me.
I won't shoot you because whites don't kill whites.
We're seeing that having yesterday.
Yeah, there are real or last week.
Yeah.
Last week.
OK, there are real stakes for people of color and people on the left.
Clearly from there.
You know, the rhetoric on the left is
about moral outrage because we aren't doing what's right by human beings versus like trying to
dehumanize people on the right and saying, oh, they're all like animals that are going to kill
you or whatever. But what we're seeing right now is there's tremendous follow through with people
on the far right in terms of acting out this kind of violence. And like you say, when people show themselves to be who they are, we should believe them,
much like a woman in New Jersey who received a bunch of threatening Facebook messages from
a man in Kentucky who was coming after her children who were half black and saying like,
oh, they should be hung.
Like, I'll kill these kids, blah, blah, blah.
These M-words deserve to die.
So she called the police in Kentucky.
She's like, I don't know why this guy came at me, blah, blah, blah. These, you know, M-words deserve to die. So she called the police in Kentucky. She's like, I don't know why this guy came at me, blah, blah, blah.
They sent a state trooper to his house.
He had a bunch of guns in his car and he was pulling out with plans to go shoot up some schools.
Yeah.
And like it also ties into when people are like, oh, the Internet isn't real.
What people say on the Internet isn't real.
It's just a troll.
It's just a troll.
It's like how much can you say that before it actually starts becoming actual consequences?
Well, clearly not even in this level.
Yeah.
Because this man is out here making threats constantly on Twitter and even on Facebook.
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's where it gets dangerous because now they'll never be able to look at what they're doing and just say, no, this has nothing to do with us.
We have no hand in this.
And I don't know what's going on with these people because nothing we say would
remotely resemble something that would motivate something.
Yeah, like I wish the worst thing that I
could possibly be afraid of is someone
yelling at me while I'm eating.
That's a breezy ass
consequence to pay. I'd take my shit to go.
Yeah, that's
I would much rather deal with that than wondering
is this dude with a Pidgeotto haircut gonna
murk me today? I would much rather be yelled at over food. You're dude with a Pidgeotto haircut going to murk me today? Right.
I would much rather be yelled at over food. You're going to get your throat slit at the BART station?
Exactly.
You know what I mean?
Like, what the fuck?
But, I mean, this double standard has been going on for a long time.
Yeah.
That the media and just the mainstream is much more forgiving towards people who have right-wing views, who are racist, acting out of racism, like Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma
City bombing. Compare that to September 11th. Those are both heinous acts of terrorism, but
we did not launch a bunch of wars to fight white supremacist nationalist militias following the
Oklahoma City bombing. And yeah, I mean, it's also a, for for i think a lot of liberal people are probably like liberal white
people are now learning that what it's like to have this double standard of like you yell at
someone they're like whoa that is a dangerous angry person but they can like shoot you and
that's considered okay like people of color have been dealing with that double standard for a long time and people on the right are very practiced at using that to their advantage yeah
it's a lot of like well you're getting emotional so you're clearly unhinged right right that's
where i'm like i don't know where how this plays out and we we truly do not know what the motive
was for this person i mean granted we can speculate wildly based on what we're looking at.
But I think in all fairness, to be objective, let's just say we don't know.
And then at what point, though, at what moment will the country arrive at where you will actually hear something from people on the right and extreme right begin to own up to the fact that
maybe something has to change a little bit in some way, or are we just fine marching towards
fire? No, Trump has said that things need to change. CNN needs to start being nicer to him.
Right. That's how he's taking it. I mean, I honestly don't know. That's why I've come to a point where I don't,
I can't imagine any scenario where either side
just sort of capitulates and is like,
well, turns out we were wrong.
Like, I just don't, I don't think it's going to happen.
Yeah, and then we'll reach that breaking point
and see what happens next.
Yeah, because like at protests and shit like that,
I've resorted to the silence of the lambs technique
where like, if I say my name and make myself a human as many times as i can will you not harm
me like hi my name is vanessa i'm 26 years old i have a mom like how many times do i have to try
and make myself a human to you right but i can't do that to all of them in mass right it's it's
i can't do that to every single one on a one-on-one basis that's impossible
yeah uh all right we going to take a quick break
And we'll be right back

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. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.
This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeart

She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people.

And we are back.
On Tuesday, the president, Donald Trump, made his way to Pittsburgh to visit the Tree of Life synagogue where that horrific shooting took place in which 11 people were killed.
And, you know, initially, many people, including the mayor of Pittsburgh, were like, do not come here right now.
At least let's bury our dead and mourn before you come in here for some kind of circus,
circusry, circuitry, whatever that word is.
Circuit city.
Circuit city.
Thank you.
And, you know, he even brought along Javanka and Steve Mnuchin to demonstrate how pro-Semite he is.
Was Javanka wearing, like, a stupid sweatshirt that had, like, a Star of David with, like, an X over it?
Could have been.
I don't know.
She's like, I got it from Sarah.
I don't know.
Oh, you mean Melania.
I'm sorry.
Yes, yes.
I confuse those people all the time.
I mean, it's easy to confuse his wife and his daughter.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, he wishes his wife were his daughter.
Am I right?
It's all the same to him.
Yeah.
But he pulled up.
But I don't think he was expecting the people of Pittsburgh were definitely not pleased because he was met by thousands of protesters who took to the streets in and around the synagogue to basically show that the community is united against hatred and also showing that this is not the time for someone whose crazy
conspiracy theories and like anti-Semitic conspiracy theories have fueled this kind
of violence in the real world.
Yeah.
It wasn't his motivation for bringing Javanka that Jared is Jewish and that Ivanka converted
to Judaism when they got married.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was my.
OK.
That's what I said. Yeah, and Steve Mnuchin.
Right.
So he brought every, I think, Jewish person who works for him.
I have Jewish friends.
Yeah, exactly.
He's like, where's the hat?
I'm pretty sure Ivanka and Jared were the only people who were, like, pushing him to respond to the Pittsburgh thing.
They were, yeah.
They were begging him.
Yeah, because it wasn't, like, one of his first sort of quotes or whatever about his hair
and how like some reporter, like angry leftist person
had like pointed out that his hair was blowing in the wind
at a press conference.
And he was like, that was what he decided to share
with everyone on the day of the shooting
was just like him being like, my hair's real, okay.
It blew away and that's fake news.
But you know, and it's crazy.
At one point, the amount of people that were in the streets like sort of complicated his arrival of his motorcade.
So like there was a, you know, shout out to the people of Pittsburgh for coming together and, you know, letting this person know that this is the most ill-timed presidential visit.
I mean, there was leadership on both sides of the aisle who were like, I don't want to go with you there.
Like, don't, I don't want to be a part of this.
Yeah.
And they're even I think one of the victim's families even refused to meet with him because as they say, they're like, you're crazy misrepresentation of this group of migrants who are coming
north from Central America and using this like George Soros conspiratorial globalist
anti-Jewish dog whistle.
At this point, the dog was the fucking whistle. It's a fucking air horn.
Fueled the man who eventually went to gab and was like, okay, I don't give a fuck.
I'm doing this.
And, you know, it was a very, very charged day.
You could see the emotion in the streets as the news covered it and the amount of people that were there.
And you wouldn't believe that based on the tweet that he put out Wednesday morning.
Because it said, this is just such a fucking ridiculous tweet.
He said, Melania and I were treated very nicely yesterday in Pittsburgh.
The office of the president was shown great respect on a very sad and solemn day.
We were treated so warmly.
Small protest was not seen by us, staged far away.
The fake news stories were just the opposite.
Disgraceful.
Let me ask you, Miles, how many of those words were capitalized unnecessarily?
Disgraceful was fake news and that's it.
Is fake news not a proper noun?
At this point, I think so.
When you're just talking about journalists who talk to people and are broadcasting that but again i can't it just shows you how he is doing everything he can to avoid
meaningful discussion around his rhetoric and the environment that he's creating and it's not just
him but he has a huge part in it by being the president and being the sort of figurehead for
a lot of these super right-wing deranged people um and by having this tweet to just sort of paper
over the cracks like he was like it was wonderful sort of paper over the cracks, like, he was like, it was wonderful.
And the office of the president was, like, that's such a fucking weird way to, like,
spin the bullshit.
To come out, like, hot with, like, okay.
Because he doesn't even really mention the reason that he's there other than saying sad
and solemn.
He's just like, and no one was actually mad at me.
I rule.
I'm great.
And anyways.
The song is about me.
It's just, like so it's it's so
like at this point the fact that people in pittsburgh did not want him there is just like
a testament to how far everything has come where it's like we don't want the president to know
because it's so transparent of like he's going to take advantage of this tragedy and make it
about something that has nothing to do with us, nothing to do with our community, and is going to be to push an agenda that
will ultimately harm us.
Right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's like, ugh.
I'm so sick of him disavowing accountability for this shit.
It's like him standing in front of a burning house with a can of gasoline being like, I
was received very warmly by this house.
Yeah.
Very warmly.
Yeah.
Technically, it was warm. Fire is warm. I mean, this house. Very warmly. Yeah, like technically it was warm.
Fire is warm.
I mean, this house is lit, if anything.
And, you know, just sort of all around the bumbling of the administration around this
event has been like so offensive, like from March parading out your Jewish family members
to somehow be like, well, there's no way I could have said anything because look at Jared.
Look at my daughter.
What?
Yeah.
And then Mike Pence was at an event where a fake rabbi essentially said a prayer for
the victims.
And one of the most offensive, I don't even know how to describe.
This is bad, Miles.
This is all bad.
The rabbi is of the Messian are they, the Messianic Jews?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Jews for Jesus.
Messianic Jews, Jews for Jesus, which are fake Jews.
Right.
They're not real Jews.
They believe that Jesus is the Savior.
That Yeshua is Jesus, yes.
Exactly.
And that he is still coming, you know?
Right.
Or, sorry, that he came and he'll come back, right?
Isn't that what Christians believe?
Yeah, exactly.
And I think that it's also like a weird recruiting tool to try and convert convert jews to christianity yes it's a very fucking it's very slippery quite literally the
opposite of judaism even more than christianity is it is like i know it's somehow yeah it's it's
it's not christianity it's not judaism it's just it's just bad um yeah but this is really really
offensive um this guy by the way was not even a jew Jews for Jesus rabbi, if you want to call them rabbis.
He was disbarred from Jews for Jesus.
De-cloaked.
De-cloaked.
I'm sorry.
First of all, I love the term de-cloaked.
That's what I'm going to call investigative journalism from now on.
A de-cloaked.
De-cloaked.
De-cloaked with Jamie Loftus. It's a conspiracy theory podcast. Yeah, yeah, on. Yeah. A decloak. A decloak. Decloaked with Jamie Loftus.
It's a conspiracy
theory podcast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
Someone will make that
on Twitter.
Zeitgango.
Do your Photoshop thing.
Decloaked with
Zamy Zykes.
Zamy Zykes.
Zamy Zykes.
Anyway.
Zamy Zykes.
But yeah.
This group,
because I think he was
decloaked for libel.
Yes.
He was just,
this guy is a fucking
shitheel all around.
He's too shitty for
jews for jesus even they don't want him it's bananas yeah and like just i can't decide whether
this is an intentional slight to jews or if this is just this falls under the category of like
oblivious of like trump playing that pharrell song happy at his rally the same day as the shooting i
don't know how much to read into this.
It feels offensive.
Well, at every corner, right, you just show they know fuck all.
Yeah.
A lot of this shit is so unintended half the time
because obviously sometimes their offensiveness is intended,
but other times it's born out of the idea that they're so ignorant about things.
They have no idea.
It would be hard if you were looking for someone
who was absolutely the least qualified out of everyone
to do this specific task.
It would be hard to find that guy.
It would be a Jews for Jesus rabbi
who was kicked out of Jews.
He's just some fucking floater.
So many steps of removal.
So true.
When I was reading this article,
I came up with five Jews more appropriate to host, or sorry, to deliver these words at the gig. So true. When I was reading this article, I came up with five Jews more appropriate to host,
or sorry,
to deliver these words
at the gig.
New list.
And it was
Bernie Madoff,
the ghost of famous mobster
Bugsy Siegel,
Kyle from South Park,
Drake,
and of course,
Ivanka Trump.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or me.
I'm available.
Yeah, right?
I mean, Ivanka, I probably would have been like, I see what they did there, butanka Trump. Yeah. Yeah. Or me. I'm available. Yeah. Right. I mean Ivanka I probably would have been like
I see what they did there but gross also.
Right.
And the crazy thing was during his benediction
like he didn't mention any of the victims
and then only evoked the names of the candidates
at this event that were running for office.
So all around really smooth move.
Bosh at home run. Right. And this is all again like so to tie this back that were running for office. So all around, really smooth move.
Bosh, another home run.
Right.
And this is all, again, like, so to tie this back to sort of Trump and sort of the last push into the midterm elections coming up.
Tuesday, everybody vote.
He just went, again, right after his tweet about,
oh, everyone treated us so well in Pittsburgh,
then went on to tweet some dumb shit about how the caravan,
like people were being violently attacked in Mexico
and the officials are doing nothing. Again again completely baseless things that he's just
tweeting which shows you he's really learned fuck all and again i hate like this we'll be saying
this for the next four years i'll just be like and it shows you he's learned nothing two years
nothing no i'm like yeah fingers we'll see dystopia yeahia but again I think for the Republicans
they're probably just reeling
especially House Republicans because every
time he does this like we've seen
since last week
from the MAGA bomber to this
guy and his response to those things
it's tanked his approval ratings bit by bit
now don't get complacent
because we need to put the smash on all these
Republican people in the election.
But yeah,
I think that's really costing the House
if anything because this is not something
you can go and campaign on because
immediately someone's going to ask you, well, what do you think about this?
What's your president
up to? Even though he's
everyone's president.
All I can do is just
sigh disappoint Yeah.
Disappointedly.
I've come up with so many new sighs in the past two years. Really reinvented the game.
Let's hear them.
I mean, well, there's different kinds.
Okay, so I just gave you a, and that's like, sure, this is happening.
And then there's like more of an aggrieved, like, and that's a more aggressive sigh.
That's like a five out of ten?
Yeah.
Sometimes I'm just like, you know, there it is. That's a breaking news sigh. That's like a five out of ten? Yeah. Sometimes I'm just like, you know, there it is.
That's a breaking news sigh.
Oh, those are.
All right, let's talk about the bombshell that was dropped by Jacob Wool and Jack Berkman.
Oh, my God.
Can I just preface this with saying I didn't know what you guys were talking about.
Nor should you.
And that made me happy. Oh, good. Good. Do't know what you guys were talking about. Nor should you. And that made me happy.
Oh, good.
Good.
Do you know what I mean?
This is a small, I mean, it's a small, fun, relevant story.
Yes.
No, I understand.
And I looked it up afterwards.
But it did make me happy.
I'm like, oh, it's good that it's not as far out as I was afraid it was.
When I realized I hadn't heard about it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Where it was like, if I hadn't heard about it, that means it's good.
Okay, good.
Well, we knew.
To recap.
To recap, right?
On Daily Zeitgeist.
Yes, on Daily Zeitgeist.
We talked about how MAGA Twitter celeb Jacob Wohl and GOP huckster, trickster, conspiracy theory spreader Jack Berkman,
conspiracy theory spreader Jack Berkman,
they teamed up for like one of the most painfully transparent,
obvious fraud schemes to try and smear Robert Mueller for sexual assault,
where they were offering women money to sign a sworn affidavit that he had either tried to rape them or assaulted them in some way.
And, you know, right when.
How much money?
It depends.
Like, I don't know, 20 grand.
Like one woman said her credit card debt would get paid off or something.
It would be funny for me to be like, go up there and be like, how much?
20?
And just, like, do it on camera the whole time.
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
And you know Robert Mueller?
Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, he did some sex stuff to me.
I mean...
Sure did.
Sure did.
They would... I mean, that would probably... You probably would have been their next best option. He did some sex stuff to me. Sure did.
You probably would have been their next best option.
But once they figured out, a lot of journalists figured out what was going on and kind of blew up their spot,
including the special counsel's office being like, we've referred this to the FBI.
Oh, shit. Yeah, so that began Backpedal Fest 2018.
began Backpedal Fest 3018 because the way these guys have had to be just dancing and trying to change their tune has been kind of fucking hilarious. I mean, so first, you know, yesterday
we said that on Thursday they were having this press conference to bring out the woman who was
their victim that they did not manufacture, that they did not produce out of thin air.
So then we find out that maybe this person either doesn't exist or realize that they did not produce out of thin air. So then we find out that maybe
this person either doesn't exist or realize that they might be caught up in a, like a felonious
fraud scheme to attack Robert Mueller and didn't show up. So on the day, both Berkman and Jacob
Wool, they're just saying like, Hey, look, you know, we, we said, you know, she, she arrived in
DC, uh, but then boarded a flight to another location because she feared for her life.
And Jacob Wohl, he posted receipts.
He took a selfie with some female form with the face crossed out just to prove that that is the person.
Hey, strange lady, can I get a selfie with you for a scavenger hunt?
Sure.
No, pretty much.
Yeah. No, pretty much. But this is pretty much like this is par for the course, especially for Bergman, who has done this sort of thing before where he says he's got a witness to some kind of insane crime.
And then they're a no show.
Like he did the same thing with the death of that DNC staffer, Seth Rich, who they were trying to say like Hillary Clinton was behind.
Here's the best part.
This is the little boy that cried wolf is what this is.
And now somebody that's going to tell the truth is going to go to these people and be like,
hey, this really happened to me.
And they're going to be like, hey.
And everybody's going to be like, go away, Jacob.
Right.
Yeah.
And he's like, but no, this time.
It's a real alien.
Go away, little boy.
Shut up, Jacob.
Yeah, he's also like the youngest person
to be charged with securities fraud things.
Anyway.
So he did the same thing with Seth Rich, said there was going to be a witness then when it came to to throw down the
person just did not show up and he was like oh well the guy you know the guy exists and then
prior to all this kind of coming to light you know wold denied that he had anything about this
intelligence firm surefire right uh and he was like you know i don't but i have nothing to do
with this thing it's this is i don't know I have nothing to do with this thing. It's,
this is, I don't know why you think that even though my photo is on the website and my email
address is registered to this domain and my mother's phone number is connected to this business.
Well, then he had to backtrack on that and basically said, oh, well I had to actually,
I had to deny that because I was having to protect my anonymity as we put this
really this huge case together that's why i was saying that and then once we got to the press
conference you know we're really curious what this is going to sound like it couldn't have been a
bigger fucking disaster because at this point all the press were there basically to be like
these are the two bumbling idiots whose plan was just sort of brought to light for everyone to see, yet they're still going to try and come up here and act like something's
really happening.
Hey, everybody.
Thanks for coming.
So?
So.
No, it was a very, very interesting press conference.
Oh, but I should mention that before the press conference, they did do this interview
with Gateway Pundit, which is the website that loves to spread pro-Trump conspiracy theories of all varieties. It sounds legit. Yes.
Where they were basically, you know, saying that, I don't know, Jacob Bull had this very
interesting setup for why he believes that this woman who told them about Robert Mueller's
behavior, that he felt she was credible because of a certain stance that he has.
I'm the biggest skeptic in the world of the Me Too movement.
My default position is not to believe the women.
That's a solid, that's just a smart position.
That's just a smart, well-crafted, thought-out words.
In his mind, though, if that's the setup, then that means when he goes,
and because of that, I found this woman very credible.
So she has to be very credible because.
Oh, that's a weird way to say all that.
Yeah, that was the setup.
I'm a huge skeptic of women in general.
Right.
Like just, you know, when they talk, lies happen.
Right.
But this one, it does it that I can't produce, I believe.
Right.
She's very credible. Her character is unimpeachable and like the description of her is like she's a well-respected fashion designer
also i would like to say that if any woman liberal or conservative will love me i'll go either way
just one woman she's a well-respected fashion designer really comes across as like my girlfriend lives in canada type shit
100 weird science and he keeps pushing the buttons but she won't come out right so yeah then i said
the press conference like it was just a fucking joke of itself in which they both stood up there
jacob wool was like tweeting like oh antifa is here and it was just some dude who had like a
car with like a trump dinosaur blow dinosaur blow up in the parking lot.
And then he's like, they're busing people in.
And he just took a photo of a bus that was across the street.
But there were no people coming out of it or anything to do with Antifa.
But that's how Jacob Wall was trying to spin this whole event.
And then inside the event was just so hilarious.
So he was in there.
People from the Gateway Pundit were even grilling him hard as shit about this stuff when they were in there because they realized how bad this looks for them.
And there were all kinds of things happening from him complaining that people on Twitter were photoshopping his face onto a corn cob.
Like he brought that up.
And I mean, they did that with corn.
They're trying to make me look bad.
When they asked about that on the press conference.
He was complaining that people were making memes of him with Photoshop and him on a corn cob.
He complained that people were calling his relatives and his mom and his little sister.
And that was based on the fact that people called to fact check the number on the made up Surefire intelligence thing that he did.
So he's like, you called my house?
It's like, because you fucking registered.
That's the number you put there, asshole.
What do you mean?
And then Jack Berkman was like, you called 11-year-old girls.
Nice.
Really bad.
Do you think it's just one of, like, we said some stuff,
and then we kept saying it,
and now we have to do a press conference,
and people showed up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, well, people showed the fuck up.
Do you think they'll do it again, or do you think it's—
I don't know.
I mean, I'm sure—
Because if they try it again, it feels like mental illness.
I'm sure once the FBI pulls up on them, like, they just know the FBI's investigating them.
I don't know if someone is actually, like, some G-man's pulled up and been like, yeah, we need to talk.
That will probably get them to abandon the story.
But you never know that.
I think they're it's very, very desperate times for them.
There was another person in the audience who asked her, like on the date of this supposed assault.
They said it happened in New York City.
And that's just like I said yesterday. where there's a very easily searchable article about how Robert Mueller had jury duty with a
full FBI detail on him on that day in Washington, D.C. And they're like, how when it happened? He's
like, well, that must have leaked or something. And they're like, you can just search on the
Washington. It's very you can Google that date with his name and it just shows up. I don't know.
And then special. His explanation was when they said, well, how could this be said? Well,
you know, sometimes people go to jury duty,
but they're also somewhere else.
And the whole room actually erupted
into laughter at him. And then
it turned out that Jack Berkman's
fly had been down the whole time.
The whole time? And that is not a joke.
He just went up in front of people.
It is a joke.
It is a joke. Not even to mention that
they couldn't figure out how
to spell this victim's name they're like i think it's carolyn or caroline with an e like they
couldn't nothing was you think putin watches something like that he's like we couldn't train
people this way no this is amazing i don't know but this is pure nonsense all sort of based out
of this shit like this mega worldview of the idea of how sexual assault allegations work on people or how they believe women can eat.
Like this is just a thing.
That's the reality in which they operate.
And this whole like the idea of them thinking they really pulled a fast one.
It's just like total Dunning-Kruger effect like inaction before our eyes of people thinking they're way more able than they
are got you right how you're here right it was like you're saying billy it's like people watching
well we say punked or something and just not knowing how to do it yeah it's like seeing all
those things like just watching people do things and feel it figuring out like oh i could figure
out the mechanics of this but not knowing why you're doing it or for whatever motivation,
and you just do it, and then you get to the end, and you're like, huh.
Oh, we should have thought it through before we just tried it.
Yeah.
It's, yeah, so they're in some hot water, and we'll see what will go on.
Idiots.
But, yeah, the gateway pundits need to get
smacked a couple times like judicially oh yeah yeah that's i mean to try and meddle in this
investigation by like having someone commit fraud for like a pay to lie scheme like come on now
well well well what are you gonna i mean right now we're in crazy land. Yeah. That's who he's talking to because even – it's just clear right now.
Even people that were, I think, were pro-Trump, that were moderate to –
Severe plexorisis?
Yes, whatever.
Exactly.
At this point are quietly not pro-Trump anymore.
Right.
Do you know what I mean?
I think that shift's being made,
so now that base is shrinking.
And they know that,
so now they're speaking to crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.
And crazy's loud as fuck, usually.
Yeah, yeah.
They're a smaller number,
but they just go to certain intersections in L.A.,
and you're like, here they are.
They're right here.
All right, we're going gonna take a quick break we'll

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.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.
This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I've been thinking about you.
I want you back in my life.
It's too late for that.
I have a proposal for you.
Come up here and document my project.
All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
One session.
24 hours.
BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing
dangerous about what you're doing they're just dreams dream sequence is a new horror thriller
from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app
apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And sort of the opposite of Justin Bieber, I would say,
is a dog that we learned about on Facebook.
Sort of the opposite.
Sort of, well, in that they're clever about their fast food eating,
whereas Justin Bieber is clueless about his ability. Hey, if it's even Bieber.
If it's even Bieber.
If it's even Bieber.
If it's even Bieber.
So this dog, people were talking about this dog that was always at the McDonald's.
They were giving the dog scraps of their McDonald's because they assumed it was a stray.
It was a stray.
And then Betsy Reyes just tweeted, I guess, or posted on Facebook a picture of her dog and was like, look, stop giving my fat ass gold digging dog McDonald's.
She just sneaks out every night and goes and basically cosplays as a stray dog outside
of McDonald's to get fed burgers.
The actual post is amazing because she has had it.
She goes, this is a quote from her Facebook.
If you see my dog at the McDonald's on Shields, quit feeding her fat ass.
She's not even a stray dog.
She's just a gold digging ass bitch that be acting like she's a stray
so people will feel bad for her and feed her burgers.
And the picture of the dog.
Time to have a burn book.
Yeah.
The picture of the dog is like, it's just such a strong, well-fed looking dog.
It's just like, yo.
That dog is just on plenty of protein in that dog's diet.
Oh, hell yeah.
That's a beefy baby.
Yeah.
Her name's Princess.
Her name's Princess.
And that face, honestly, like I would feel bad like i don't know you know like you said jack like you know how wolves or whatever how dogs
became domesticated because they knew how to like get near us and get food or whatever yeah i see
that whole that whole idea that evolution in this dog's face because even though it looks well fed
i'm like you know let's give us some fries or something right you know yeah we all picture our
dog like if our dog runs away,
that it's like fending for itself out in the wilderness.
Right.
Fuck no, man.
It's just going to the nearest corner
where there's like a place where there's,
people are giving away food and begging for food.
Yeah.
I mean, well, dogs are treated better
than most people in this country anyway, so.
I had a dog that used to fake a limp
to get me to pick her up.
No!
And I'd be like, oh baby, what's wrong?
She was just fine.
Yeah. And she learned she could just do me to pick her up. No! And I'd be like, oh, baby, what's wrong? She was just fine. Yeah.
And she learned she could just do that to everyone.
Yeah.
Wow.
Like, I didn't even realize it until I went to the vet,
and the vet was like, I'm not going to charge you
because your dog is playing.
Can I have one moment with your dog?
You need to knock this shit off.
This is going to get expensive for Vanessa.
Play yourself.
I was like, what's wrong with her
and it's like now she just learned how to manipulate your empathy or just do the wimp
she would like whimper and like do a little hobble and as soon as i came near like oh i'm gonna pick
you up she would just straighten out and she was fine right wow bitch but see that's funny right
because like i wonder if the owner was just so sick of seeing people give a shit about her dog
or something like what what was it that was pissing the dog like the owner off just so sick of seeing people give a shit about her dog or something.
What was it that was pissing the owner off that she had to go on Facebook and be like, she's a gold digging ass bitch.
Like, what?
I bet it's harder to keep the dog in the house when people are feeding it.
The dog is very motivated.
She knows exactly what she's doing.
She's like, these motherfuckers are going to give me burgers.
And so this person's just like, please stop encouraging her. Well, she has to clean up burger shits. Right, that's doing. She's like, these motherfuckers are going to give me burgers. And so this person's just like,
please stop encouraging her.
Well, she has to clean up
burger shits.
Right, that's true.
Oh, those shits must be.
That's the other thing.
Yeah.
That's, okay.
Why you old?
I would, yeah.
You know what?
Stop feeding princess.
That shit paints the driveway.
You will never get
the silhouette of it out
ever again.
Oh, no, yeah.
You need to call up,
you know, Ecolab.
It haunts your pavement.
And get the pressure washer out.
What about Halloween costumes?
You guys doing anything for Halloween, dressing up?
I, no.
I'm going to hand out candy.
And I'm going to hand them out bygone era candy.
So they know.
I'm going to hand out squeeze-its and Mondo drinks.
Remember Mondo?
Mondo was like a squeeze-it, but like had a weird flat top that you would snap off.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got old Fruitopias on my handout.
I'm just like, I don't know about this.
Oh, yeah.
Sobe.
Yeah, exactly.
Sobe.
Sobe.
Sobe.
The carrot one.
What was the off-brand, the third brand, not Gatorade, not Powerade?
Was it Allsport?
Allsport, yeah.
That was like carbonated sports beverage?
That's right.
It had a little phase to it.
The thing about Sobe was that it was unfinishably huge.
Those bottles were just so giant, and it was kind of thick in a way that sort of made it
feel like a meal in a bad way.
And so I always was throwing out the last third of that.
Yeah.
And like old Naya water bottles.
Remember Naya?
Anyway, I don't know.
I think I'm just going to hand out candy.
They have glow-in-the-dark candy, which I haven't opened up yet.
I just saw it at the store and it's like glow-in-the-dark Hershey's.
I don't know if the candy itself is glow-in-the-dark or it's the packaging.
It's got to be the packaging.
I haven't opened it up, but I'm hoping.
Glow-in-the-dark worms, like those
gummy worms, for years.
I'm old.
So what do I know? How about you,
Hayes? I'm not
doing anything. The idea I have
now, what kids seem to like more is
savory stuff. They love hot Cheetos.
Hot Cheetos and
Takis. Instead of candy
now, it's savory snacks.
So maybe if I really want to give the kids a thrill this Halloween.
Roast up a prime rib.
A little carving station outside.
A little rosemary.

Did you guys see the little girl's costume?
The headless little girl?
Oh, yeah.
I did see that one.
Holding her own head on a platter.
It's a costume that i think people have probably
seen before where the actual head is looks like it's on a plate and then there's like an apparatus
above it that makes it look like it's a headless body carrying the head on a plate but it's just
the most and then you find out this is like a physical deformity she has. And you're like, oh, no, I'm so sorry.
Oh, your head is actually coming out of your chest.
Like total recall and shit.
Yeah, it's good for you taking ownership of it.
The proportions don't make sense in the costume.
That's why, like, I was.

Never kids, thank God.
Some adults occasionally, but I see whatever,
some barstool sports hosts, you dress your kid up as that.
And a kid has to grow up and be like,
