Morocco's King Mohammed VI confirmed that the country's 1,055-kilometre Tiznit-Dakhla Expressway — the longest road infrastructure in Africa — will be named the Donald J. Trump Highway, citing Trump's 2020 recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara as the motivation behind the gesture. Nes examines the political currency being traded here and what it reveals about how diplomatic relationships are transacted. On the West Bank, the Seven Arches Hotel comes into focus. The iconic hotel, built atop the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem by the Jordanian government before the 1967 war, has been under Israeli custodianship of absentee property ever since. Israel is now reportedly moving to sell or expand the property — a move that would effectively strip one of the most strategically positioned landmarks in East Jerusalem from Jordanian royal ownership, with major implications for Jordan's custodianship of holy sites and the broader battle over who controls the historical and religious narrative of Jerusalem. Nes also covers the deeply disturbing Perez Hilton incident — not Paris Hilton, as she clarifies. Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was hospitalized after livestreaming a TikTok video in which he appeared to engage in self-harm, prompting Miami-Dade police to respond to his home after receiving multiple calls from viewers. TikTok later admitted that a "moderator error" delayed the removal of the stream despite it being flagged within minutes. Nes uses the incident to open a wider conversation about mental health, platform responsibility, and what it means when millions of people watch a crisis unfold in real time with no intervention. She also takes on *Run Hide Fight: Infidels* — the new Ben Shapiro Daily Wire film starring Jonathan Majors in his Hollywood comeback. The film centres on "radical Islamic terrorists" who seize a liberal college campus's pro-Palestine encampment to impose Sharia law and execute infidels, with Majors playing a Delta Force veteran who fights back. The trailer cuts from 9/11 footage directly to 2024 campus protests, ending with the tagline "Coming soon... Or already here." Nes calls it exactly what it is: Islamophobia packaged as action cinema, designed to launder a political agenda through entertainment. As a counterweight, she highlights *American Doctor* — the Sundance-premiered documentary from Watermelon Pictures. The film follows three American physicians — a Palestinian, a Jewish American, and a Zoroastrian — who volunteered in besieged Gaza hospitals, treating children gravely injured in Israeli bombardments. One of the doctors described their experience in Gaza as collectively worse than all their previous mass casualty experiences combined, including 9/11, calling what they witnessed "the largest pediatric homicide of our lifetimes." Nes places both films side by side — and lets the contrast speak for itself. --- 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.
