A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer.

This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name.

52.048 - 68.681 Dr. Jesse Mills

Hey guys, Sagar and Crystal here. Independent media just played a truly massive role in this election, and we are so excited about what that means for the future of this show. This is the only place where you can find honest perspectives from the left and the right that simply does not exist anywhere else.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments regarding Trump's threats to Iran?

917.505 - 942.098 Unknown

The one that is used by the media the most, you can put up A6 here, and I had reported on this right after the 12-day war, is this organization, Human Rights, I think it's called Human Rights in Iran, and then they've created the Human Rights News Agency. They are heavily funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, which is a CIA-linked kind of US-backed thing.

942.078 - 950.129 Saagar Enjeti

Now, the AP and others have found their... Which just got a fat check in the new omnibus, minibus proposal that Thomas Massey's fighting. We'll ask him later in the show.

950.43 - 977.118 Unknown

Now, their numbers were not way out of line from what other sources were during the 12-day war. The AP relies on them. And they're way under what CBS News is out there claiming. But even they, people are like... We want a reliable source, but what's your methodology? What's your funding? And it's all quite opaque. And so it's difficult for people to have any confidence.

977.218 - 990.934 Unknown

And so Trump may end up hanging a decision not to attack on that. Say, you know what? We don't know. Unless they start swinging hundreds of people from ropes in the streets. And that gets out.

991.758 - 1013.176 Saagar Enjeti

Right. So, well, actually, on that point, let's put the next element up on the screen here. This should be, yeah, we can see A7. This is just looking at Barack Ravid. And there's this really funny video, Ryan, I don't know if you remember it, of Zelensky singling out Barack Ravid and saying, you seem to be listening to all of my phone calls. It's from like a year or two ago.

1013.697 - 1026.069 Saagar Enjeti

This is a post mentioning Barack Ravid, the former IDF intelligence officer, writes for Axios, had this to say about Iran International a few years ago. Quote, and the Mossad is using this media outlet quite regularly for its information war.

1026.41 - 1029.914 Unknown

It is. Yeah, it's an anti-regime. Yes.

1029.934 - 1032.838 Saagar Enjeti

And here you have a former IDF intel officer noting that.

1033.779 - 1034.4 Unknown

Yeah, I mean, it's true.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the protests in Iran?

1527.62 - 1536.57 Saagar Enjeti

The next steps. And it's like you see in Venezuela how ill considered. I mean, it's, I suppose, different than 2019. Like, they tried to have more of a...

1536.55 - 1560.668 Saagar Enjeti

Off-ramp plan post regime change than they did in 2019 But you see right now even with all the considerations that were already made in Venezuela what that looks like Iran different ballgame as well right and the last Shah had real charisma people say like it Riz Riz Riza he was still overthrown for a reason like people hated him and hated the authoritarianism

1560.766 - 1585.658 Saagar Enjeti

Well, they didn't love the encroachment on their sovereignty by his relationship with the West. And that's, again, something we've been talking about in Latin America. It's at issue when you have someone who's, whether forced or doing this willingly and eagerly, making all of these deals, selling Iranian goods. or Venezuelan assets and, you know, minerals, oil, whatever it is, to the U.S.

1585.678 - 1592.899 Saagar Enjeti

in a way that feels to people like it's exploitive, that's a powder keg. It's a powder keg. And they don't have a plan to deal with that.

1594.043 - 1595.566 Krystal Ball

It's a new year and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.

1601.576 - 1612.914 Mike Della Rocha

Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed?
