    Culturally Clueless | Lies, Tokens & The Stories They Don't Want Told | Episode 112

    Send us Fan Mail This episode pulls back the curtain on some of the most uncomfortable truths hiding in plain sight. Nes takes on the Tommy Robinson "Unite the Kingdom" rally, where Robinson stood before the crowd and declared "we are here in our millions" — while police, using CCTV and helicopter footage, estimated attendance at just 60,000. [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/12/world/live-news/hungary-election-orban-magyar) The event was funded in large part by substantial donations from American supporters, including $200,000 from Andy Miller and a further $100,000 from businessman Robert Shillman, and Robinson publicly thanked Elon Musk for his continued support. [Polymarket](https://polymarket.com/event/fl-06-republican-primary-winner) Nes zeroes in on a Black woman who took the stage, cheered on by the crowd — and asks the sharper question: the same people platforming her are funded by those who would have a problem with her the moment she stepped off that stage. The tokenism, Nes argues, is not subtle. She also covers the leaked documents revealing that the Biden administration pressured Pakistan to remove Imran Khan through a no-confidence vote — or face consequences — exposing a long pattern of Western interference in the democratic processes of other nations. On the Abraham Accords, Nes addresses Trump's push for GCC countries including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to sign on, pointing out that the reluctance is not about ideology — it comes with a clear condition: a two-state solution for the Palestinians. No justice, no deal. She also takes a deep dive into the growing movement around Al-Aqsa, connecting the third temple movement directly to the settler violence that continues to plague the compound and the West Bank, and laying out why these two things have always moved together. On a different but equally unsettling note, Nes looks at the future of chocolate — where lab-grown cocoa butter, gene-edited trees, and corporate science are being positioned as the solution to climate and disease threats facing the cocoa industry. The question she raises: who decided this, and who profits? Hollywood gets its own reckoning too. Nes discusses how the film industry's gatekeeping keeps certain stories from being told — pointing to Danny Glover's decades-long, frustrated attempt to bring the Haitian revolution to the big screen as a case study in which histories Hollywood considers worthy of a hero. She closes with Errol Musk — Elon's father — whose interview made waves for comparing Tommy Robinson to Nelson Mandela, arguing that political prisoners tend to become leaders [Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/23/what-we-know-about-israel-killing-lebanese-journalist-amal-khalil) , while conveniently minimizing the atrocities of apartheid, with Errol claiming of Black South Africans under the regime: "We gave them work, we fed them." [Meduza](https://meduza.io/en/feature/2026/04/23/hungary-s-new-leader-outlines-sweeping-changes-after-defeating-orban) Nes does not let it go unchallenged. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | AI, Dead Journalists & The Men Who Control Your News | Episode 111

    Send us Fan Mail This episode covers stories that the mainstream news cycle would rather you scroll past. Nes digs into the growing alarm around Palantir and AI in warfare. More than 229,000 people in the UK have signed petitions demanding the government scrap all public contracts with Palantir [Democracy Now!](https://www.democracynow.org/2026/3/10/lawrence_wilkerson) , as backlash intensifies over the US tech giant's expanding role in the NHS, police, and military. Two senior systems engineers at the Ministry of Defence have even broken cover to warn that Palantir poses a national security threat to the UK [nuclear-news](https://nuclear-news.net/2026/04/14/3-a-america-is-losing-the-world-and-it-doesnt-know-how-to-stop/) — the concern being that handing a foreign company this level of access to sovereign data is a risk no government should be taking. Stateside, Palantir is publicly fighting the Defense Intelligence Agency after being excluded from a major military intelligence modernization contract [Hoodline](https://hoodline.com/2026/04/stanford-plaza-showdown-as-miss-israel-visit-ends-with-idf-soldier-tackling-student/) , arguing the DIA is wasting taxpayer money by refusing to consider commercial AI solutions already operating at scale. [X](https://x.com/MiddleEastEye/status/2051642703054577728) Nes frames the bigger question: should AI companies with direct ties to active war zones be trusted with the data of civilians, soldiers, and governments? She also covers Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf and what it produced — and what it conspicuously didn't — pointing to a pattern of a president who makes sweeping geopolitical moves with zero regard for how Americans feel about the wars being waged in their name. Nes touches on the UAE's increasingly uncomfortable position — exposed for its involvement in multiple conflicts across the region while simultaneously seeking validation and praise on the world stage. She then turns to journalism under fire, featuring testimony from a journalist and revisiting the devastating toll on the press in Palestine — a reminder that the killing of journalists is not incidental but systematic. The episode also marks Nakba month and its 78th year, weaving together the lived reality of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank — where settler violence has surged — and examining youth-led calls to sanction settlements, while questioning whether those measures carry any real teeth when funding can simply flow from elsewhere. Nes closes with Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, whose public declaration of Zionism and whose message to critical journalists — agree with how we do things or leave — ties back to every other thread in the episode: who controls the narrative, who gets silenced, and who profits from keeping it that way. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | Stolen Land, Depleted Weapons & A World Shifting Its Alliances | Episode 110

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Nes takes stock of a world where the rules keep changing — and not in anyone's favor. She opens with the explosive story unfolding in New York: pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside a New York synagogue to demonstrate against an expo called "the Great Israeli Real Estate Event," which featured properties for sale in Israel and the occupied West Bank [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/25/politics/live-news/trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner) , including listings in settlements considered illegal under international law. [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/25/politics/live-news/trump-white-house-correspondents-dinner) Nes lays out why this is not just a moral issue — activists have argued that the events run afoul of US domestic law as well, including anti-discrimination statutes [news](https://english.news.cn/20260428/c4cffb08e85e414d9c5c28012a5c6b06/c.html) — and why the protesters showing up in solidarity are on the right side of both history and the law. She then circles back to the Iran situation, dissecting the cascade of failed decisions that got the world here, the staggering costs of the war, and Trump's whiplash-inducing rhetoric that swings from threats of total annihilation to vague talk of deals and back again. She also breaks down Netanyahu's 60 Minutes appearance and what it revealed: a leader intent on continuing the war while everyone else is scrambling for a way out. [The Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/04/25/trump-whcd-evacuation-live-updates/) Nes connects the dots — every rejected proposal has not brought stability closer, it has pushed it further away. On the military and economic front, Nes unpacks the UAE's shifting position. The heavy use of US munitions in the war on Iran has raised serious concerns about Washington's ability to replenish its stockpiles [CBS News](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-house-correspondents-dinner-shooting-suspect-cole-allen/) , leaving allies like the UAE to look elsewhere for military partnerships — including Turkey. Meanwhile, JPMorgan announced it will remove the UAE from its emerging market bond indexes, citing that the country has surpassed its income thresholds for three consecutive years [ABC7 San Francisco](https://abc7news.com/post/stanford-investigating-altercation-between-israeli-soldier-student-during-political-event/18961708/) — a reclassification that, while framed as a sign of economic maturity, leaves the UAE in a financial no-man's land, having outgrown one category with no clear place in another. Nes asks the question nobody in mainstream media is asking: what does all of this mean for the UAE's standing and leverage going forward? --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | They Call It Free Speech — Until It's You | Episode 109

    Send us Fan Mail Culturally Clueless with Nes — Episode Summary In this episode, Nes tackles one of the most misunderstood and deliberately distorted conversations of our time: the weaponization of religion and the politics of who gets to speak freely — and who pays the price for doing so. She opens with a thoughtful deep dive into Sharia law, Halakha, and Christian canon law, laying out what these systems actually are and how they function — cutting through the fog of misinformation that dominates both social media and legacy media. From there, she examines the alarming rise of Islamophobia in public discourse, citing examples like Tommy Robinson and ongoing debates in the UK, while also shining a light on anti-Zionist Jewish voices and where they stand when it comes to the question of Israel — people whose existence complicates the simplistic narratives being pushed on all sides. She also highlights voices across media who are actively pushing back against Islamophobia, refusing to let the narrative go unchallenged. Nes then turns to the ongoing Iran situation, calling out Trump's contradictory and erratic statements for what they are — a pattern of rhetoric that shifts by the day with no coherent strategy behind it. She also covers retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson — former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell [Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/4/23/how-lebanese-journalist-amal-khalil-was-pursued-and-killed-by-israel) — who stated bluntly that the U.S. and Israel have "bombed civilians relentlessly," hitting schools and hospitals [Biometric Update](https://www.biometricupdate.com/202601/eu-weighs-biometric-data-access-deal-with-us-as-price-of-visa-free-travel) in Lebanon. Nes uses Wilkerson's admissions to underscore the gap between what is being done on the ground and what is being reported to the public. She closes with a story that cuts to the heart of the episode's central theme: the hypocrisy of free speech. New York City councilwoman Vickie Paladino, a Republican, publicly said that Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil should be loaded onto a military plane and pushed "out the back over Syria." [Biometric Update](https://www.biometricupdate.com/202603/us-eu-move-toward-landmark-biometric-data-sharing-deal) Khalil responded directly, saying "A New York City councilwoman is publicly fantasizing about killing me, and somehow I'm the threat." [Biometric Update](https://www.biometricupdate.com/202603/us-eu-move-toward-landmark-biometric-data-sharing-deal) Nes draws the line clearly: if anyone from the other side of the political spectrum had said something remotely similar, the consequences would have been immediate and severe. The double standard, she argues, is not subtle — it is the point. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | The Media Lies, Oil Shifts & Trump's Own People Are Done | Episode 108

    Send us Fan Mail Culturally Clueless with Nes — Episode Summary In this episode, Nes goes beyond the headlines and delivers the kind of deep dives that mainstream media rarely bothers with. She opens with a full breakdown of Axel Springer — the German media empire whose influence stretches far wider than most people realize. Nes traces the history of who Axel Springer was, examines who owns the publishing house today, and maps out the sprawling portfolio of media outlets and companies operating under its umbrella. The episode takes a sharp turn when Nes zeroes in on a recent internal meeting where journalists openly criticized the editorial bias baked into the company's coverage — and the CEO's response was blunt: if you don't like it, leave. Nes unpacks what that moment reveals about editorial independence, corporate media ownership, and who is really controlling the narrative. From there, she shifts to a global energy story with massive economic implications. The UAE's decision to exit OPEC prompts Nes to take a thorough look at what OPEC actually is, how it operates, what power it holds over global oil markets, and what this departure signals for the future of the organization and the broader energy landscape. She closes with a political moment that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. Marjorie Taylor Greene — once one of Trump's most fervent and vocal supporters — has become openly critical of his leadership. Nes examines what drove that shift, what it says about the current state of the Republican Party, and whether Greene's disillusionment reflects something much bigger brewing beneath the surface. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | Shots Fired. Students Tackled. Protesters Beaten. Welcome to Democracy. | Episode 107

    Send us Fan Mail Culturally Clueless with Nes — Episode Summary This week, Nes dives deep into one of the most contested battlegrounds of our time: who gets to speak, and who gets silenced. She opens with the growing crisis of free speech on university campuses. First, a Jewish student was escorted out of a campus event after publicly stating his opposition to war crimes being committed in the name of his religion — a moment Nes uses to highlight the suffocating tension between institutional control and individual conscience. Then comes Stanford, where an unidentified IDF soldier and Miss Israel 2025 set up a free speech tabling event in White Plaza with a sign reading "I'm Miss Israel. I'm an IDF Soldier. Ask us anything." [Outboundinvestment](https://outboundinvestment.com/eu-us-data-talks-raise-privacy-concerns-as-visa-free-travel-faces-new-conditions/) When a student took the cardboard sign from the table, the soldier tackled him to retrieve it [Outboundinvestment](https://outboundinvestment.com/eu-us-data-talks-raise-privacy-concerns-as-visa-free-travel-faces-new-conditions/) — turning a designated free speech zone into a flashpoint. Nes digs into what that says about who free speech actually protects. She also touches on a South African rabbi's pointed accusations against the Pope over his rhetoric on the ongoing wars, raising questions about religious leadership, moral responsibility, and what it means to speak — or stay silent — when lives are at stake. From there, Nes turns to Germany, where protesters against the ongoing conflicts have faced violent crackdowns by police — another data point in a troubling global pattern of states using force to shut down dissent. Then the episode shifts to the week's most explosive news story: on April 25, 2026, gunshots were fired near the main security screening area for the White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Washington Hilton, prompting the evacuation of President Trump, Vice President Vance, and members of the Cabinet. [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/22/middleeast/lebanon-israel-journalist-killed-amal-khalil-latam-intl) The suspect, 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, was arrested near the screening area and sources told investigators he intended to target multiple Trump administration officials. [CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/22/middleeast/lebanon-israel-journalist-killed-amal-khalil-latam-intl) Nes breaks down the incident, addresses the widespread speculation online that the shooting was staged, and unpacks Trump's follow-up appearance on 60 Minutes — where he became defensive and told the journalist she "should be ashamed" of herself for reading an excerpt of the suspect's reported writings on air. [Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/4/23/how-lebanese-journalist-amal-khalil-was-pursued-and-killed-by-israel) Nes does not hold back on Trump's pattern of hostility toward the press and his reflexive dismissiveness when challenged. She closes with Mali — a story the mainstream media continues to overlook. Nes examines just how destabilized the country has become, and makes the case that the West's role in that destabilization cannot be separated from the crisis unfolding there today. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | Ceasefires, Surveillance & A World on Fire | Episode 106

    Send us Fan Mail Culturally Clueless with Nes — Episode Summary In this episode, Nes takes on a world that seems hell-bent on testing every boundary — from fragile ceasefires to the very definition of a free press. She opens with an unflinching look at the ongoing ceasefire situation in the Middle East, covering both Lebanon and Iran, and why she is not convinced the current pause in hostilities will hold. History, she argues, has shown that these agreements tend to get broken — and the current moment is giving her no reason to think differently. From there, Nes shines a light on Sudan — a crisis she insists the world refuses to talk about loudly enough. Now in its fourth year, the humanitarian situation continues to deepen [Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/23/what-we-know-about-israel-killing-lebanese-journalist-amal-khalil) while the international community looks elsewhere. Then comes a story that is equal parts policy debate and privacy alarm: the ongoing negotiations between the EU and the US over a sweeping data-sharing deal. Under the proposed Enhanced Border Security Partnership, EU member states would open their national biometric databases to US border authorities — or risk losing visa-free travel privileges for their citizens. [Reclaim The Net](https://reclaimthenet.org/us-eu-negotiate-biometric-data-sharing-deal) Nes draws a sharp line: demanding criminal and fingerprint data is one thing — but the draft framework also contemplates transfers of data revealing ethnic origin, political opinions, and religious or philosophical beliefs. [IMI Daily](https://www.imidaily.com/north-america/us-demands-access-to-eu-citizens-fingerprints-and-political-data-brussels-prepares-to-comply/) Tracking people who show up to a protest, she argues, is a line that should never be crossed. She then turns to a story that stopped the journalism world cold. On April 22, Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed by an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon while covering the Israel-Hezbollah war — the ninth journalist killed in Lebanon in 2026. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amal_Khalil) Emergency workers rescued her colleague Zeinab Faraj but were prevented from reaching Amal for hours, with Israeli forces firing on their vehicles. [Democracy Now!](https://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/24/lebanon_amal_khalil_sara_qudah_journalists) Nes connects Khalil's death to the broader, relentless assault on freedom of the press and the silencing of those who bear witness. She closes with a pointed look at Trump's rhetoric and what it continues to signal — both at home and abroad. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.

    Culturally Clueless | War, Arrests & Wildcard Politicians — Nothing Is What It Seems | Episode 105

    Send us Fan Mail Culturally Clueless with Nes — Episode Summary In this episode, Nes covers a packed lineup of global and domestic stories that are impossible to ignore. She opens with an in-depth look at the escalating tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States, breaking down the back-and-forth military dynamics playing out in and around the Strait of Hormuz. She also digs into the messy ceasefire conversations that keep stalling out, pointing to Trump's contradictions as a major factor driving the uncertainty. Nes then turns to a story with serious free speech implications: the case of Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, a Kuwaiti-American journalist who was arrested on March 3 while visiting family in Kuwait, after sharing content related to the ongoing war — including a geolocated video showing a U.S. fighter jet crash near a U.S. air base in Kuwait. He has since been acquitted of all charges by a Kuwaiti court, but his case became a flashpoint in the broader conversation about press freedom and the limits of social media expression during wartime. On the domestic politics front, Nes discusses the congressional race in Florida's 6th District, where social media personality Dan Bilzerian filed paperwork to challenge incumbent Rep. Randy Fine in the Republican primary. She also highlights a notable interview conducted by journalist Christian Valca with the president of Cuba, unpacking what was said and what it means in the current geopolitical climate. Finally, Nes closes out with the seismic political shift in Hungary, where Peter Magyar's centre-right Tisza party won the parliamentary elections by a landslide, ending Viktor Orbán's 16-year run in power. With nearly all precincts counted, Tisza secured 138 of 199 seats in parliament on over 53 percent of the vote — a historic result that sent shockwaves across Europe and beyond. --- Legal Disclaimer The views, opinions, and commentary expressed in this podcast episode of Culturally Clueless are solely those of the host and any guests featured, and do not constitute legal, financial, political, or professional advice of any kind.
