Now enjoy the show.
You can't tell me that Europeans and white people don't have culture. Now, enjoy the show. Like I would I'm half Italian, but that half Italian that is that is from Brooklyn. That is like New York City, Italian.
And it's a very big difference between like the Italian food in Italy and the Italian food in the northeast in Jersey.
Jersey, Italian food, Brooklyn, Little Italy, all of that stuff.
The South Philly, like all that stuff.
You're from Queens, right?
Can you can you.
I was raised in Queens, but my mother is an Italian from Brooklyn.
And I loved having the Italian mother because we ate really well.
But I like that my last name is Turner and everyone knows how to pronounce it.
So my dad is Irish, although they've been in America forever and ever.
But, yeah, I'm half and half.
But my mom's side was the Italian, and we did eat very, very well.
Yeah, I make the good stuff.
And I will say, like, I love the Italian food in Italy.
I was in Italy one time.
My mom took me, like, in 2013.
And we went to the Venice Biennale.
And it was great and everything.
But, like, nah.
Like, I would rather have.
Not Americanized Italian food.
No, it's not Americanized Italian food.
It's Italian American food.
Italian American.
I apologize.
Or as they would have used to say, Italo-American.
Italo-American.
That's a great term.
There are a lot of subcultures of immigrants in America that have created very specific things. I think about this when you travel through St. Louis and stuff.
There is an Italian influence.
There's also a German influence.
And the fusion of that is actually very cool.
If you think of New York pizza, New York york pizza is that's it a little american
like that's you know that's what that is my great-grandfather had a had a uh a pizza shop
in a bakery in brooklyn um called the rosa rosalia bakery and he and my grandfather who was his only
son they built that oven with bricks and we went to see it one time that's awesome it was great it
was like my grandfather's last he was like like, this is my last trip to Brooklyn.
We were like, okay.
We went and we checked it out.
And I bought a bunch of Italian bread that was baked in that oven.
And that was actually the first solid food that my son ever had.
I made blueberry French toast.
And so it was super soft.
Is the brick oven you think still there?
Is it still a restaurant?
It's a bakery.
It's still a bakery.
And they use it.
Yeah.
It's not the Rosalia Bakery anymore.
But I was thinking like I have this fantasy of opening an Italian restaurant here in West
Virginia because the pizza is so bad here.
And I have this fantasy of it.
And I was thinking I would call it Rosalia's.
That would be really cool.
Right?
Wouldn't that be cool?
Either that or Big Mama's, you know, like Rosalia's.
If you open hers, they're called Big Mama's. I'm amazed. That would be incredible cool. Right? Wouldn't that be cool? Either that or Big Mamas, you know? Like Rosalias would be fun. If you open Earth, they're called Big
Mamas. I'm amazed. That would be incredible.
Guys, welcome to Brimcast. As you heard,
Tim needs to take some time for himself.
He's been sick for a couple days.
We could, I mean, I guess I have
to pull up our story, but I love
talking to people who have these regional
specific memories. I think regionalism in America
is underappreciated. I think regionalism
is so great. If I could, you know, obviously I love Tim Kass. I'm so grateful for this. Actually,
I love Brimcast. Let's be clear. I'm so grateful to be here. But it is one of the things that if
I ever write a book, it would be a topic that's fascinating because it does shape who we are.
And it is so influential not only on the food culture in different parts of America, but the
city structures, the government influence.
But anyways, that's a conversation for a different Brimcast, I guess.
I want to pull up this story on Melania Trump, my personal favorite first lady.
She released a video a couple of days ago saying there's more to the story on the attempt on her husband's life.
You know, we'll play the video in a second. She said the attempt to end my husband's life is horrible and distressing.
And now the silence feels around it feels heavy. And I think this is a sentiment. We're kind of talking a lot tonight about what the American who don't really care about him, feel like the fact that we pay for a government agency to protect our officials and they failed so intensely is strange. So let's look at this video. The attempt to end my husband's
life was a horrible, distressing experience. Now, the silence around it feels heavy.
I can't help but wonder, why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech?
There is definitely more to this story, and we need to uncover the truth.
Good for her. Love it.
I already wanted to get her book, but now i definitely want to get it i definitely i almost pre-ordered it the other day and then like i got distracted and didn't do it
just feel like so many people i know are about to get it for i'm gonna give it to them for christmas
because i'm so fascinated by it uh what do you think melania trump's role in this election
has been she's been pretty quiet up until now and i think that's deliberate i don't think she
has loved the political limelight.
I mean, she was a fashion model, right?
She loved the limelight, clearly.
I mean, she lived in a glamorous lifestyle.
But you don't remember who I had great respect for going back to 15 and 16 when the early Trump phenomena happened?
I remember it was Dolce and Gabbana, and they tried cancel them and they actually made a t-shirt like, would it say like cancel D&G?
And they were like, we've been friends with Melania for 30 years or 20 years.
We dress her.
We're not going to not be her friend because you don't like her husband.
So Melania, that is her world and she clearly was very good at it.
She was thrust into this by president trump running
you know i give her credit for whatever she wants to do but she i don't think she loves the political
spotlight and you can't blame her who the hell would who would wish this on their enemy especially
the hatred that they've they've shown towards her family and and and her her kid remember that one
commentator was making all the creepy comments about Barron?
And you're like, this is a 16-year-old kid.
Well, it started when he was 12, because that's how old he was when Trump won the presidency.
I think you're right that one of the things I love about Melania Trump is that she loves
her family.
That's sort of her purpose.
She obviously is completely devoted to Barron.
And a second presidential
term where he's in college and she doesn't have to maybe do the day-to-day child-rearing things
would be interesting because it does open her up to do a little bit more.
It really contrasts the first ladyship of Hillary Clinton to me, because you would get reports about
Hillary Clinton when it was time to decorate the White House, going out of her way to have
designer Christmas baubles and have these mementos of affluence and wealth
whereas melania trump has this sort of whimsical christmas and mostly she's she's there to uh be
donald trump's wife and to be baron's mom yeah i think that's cool i thought it was yeah no go
ahead please oh she also um she has such dedication to her son, which I love so much.
You know, she's just like, we're going to be private.
We're going to put Barron first.
And now he's at Stern at NYU, which has got to be tough because a bunch of the professors hate his dad, have like signed letters about how his dad is a threat to democracy and all of that kind of stuff.
So that's already pretty nuts.
But I will say Melania is so elegant. She's so classy. Dilce and Gabata continued working with her and did her clothes.
And so did Christian Siriano. And I remember him from the first project runway. And I was like,
I don't know. And he's grown on me. I think he's really grown as a designer. And I have a lot of
respect for the designers who were just like, she's our client. And also, you know, we should be so lucky to have her as a client.
She's beautiful.
She's graceful.
She has amazing taste.
Her White House Christmases were so tasteful and traditional.
And you could really like they felt beautiful and inviting.
You know, you didn't feel like they were at all political.
You know, it seemed like a lovely time.
Unlike that horrible
Jill Biden, fake
nutcracker, godless
monstrosity that they did.
I got a kick out of the
years she was First Lady. The trans tap dancers.
Yeah, the years she was First Lady
where the Hollywood fashion community
tried to pretend she wasn't beautiful.
That was crazy. After years of us having to pretend she wasn't beautiful. That was crazy.
After years of us having to praise Michelle Obama's arms.
Anna Wintour wouldn't put her on Vogue.
They never once said, wow, she wears a really great gown to that event.
Never.
She was never lionized.
She wore clothes professionally and they said she was bad at it.
It's crazy.
That was funny.
And that just goes to show you how awful these people are.
Like, if you're Anna Wintour, you're probably a leftist.
We were talking about architects tend to be on the left.
So Anna Wintour.
But do you think so little of your profession, clearly you do, that you're going to pretend Melania Trump, a fashion model you've known for 30 years,
is not beautiful and doesn't deserve to be recognized
for the gown she wore to the state dinner.
Like that's how little,
that's just how petty these people are.
They're awful, awful freaking people.
They are just awful people on the left.
And they don't appreciate beauty.
That's one of the things that I think Americans
are sort of hungry for.
There's a lot of cultural bankruptcy. There's an emptiness. People are looking for values. And I think America as a culture desires beauty. I was walking on the block past the public library that was right by where the event was.
And it's gorgeous.
Can you imagine if your small town just had tons of gorgeous buildings?
Like what an impact that would have on your psyche every day.
Like no wonder Donald Trump likes to hang out with Melania.
She's just so beautiful to look at.
It must be uplifting every day.
Yeah. I was lucky enough not recently, not too long ago,
to go to the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, Reagan's home. Great experience. But one of my
takeaways was there were a number of photos of his inaugural in 2020, which I don't remember,
obviously. And what struck me about his inaugural in 2020 or 2021 was all of the A-list
celebrities who were there, right?
I mean, Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Stewart.
If you were famous in 1980, Johnny Carson, you were at Reagan's because they
were his friends.
Yeah.
And I remember thinking.
Wasn't he in a Dean Martin roast?
Yeah.
Yeah. I remember thinking they't he in a dean martin roast yeah yeah i remember thinking
they must have made it to hollywood hollywood leftists made a deliberate effort that night to
say we are never letting someone on the right ever be cool again yeah and and so they did the same
with milani is not allowed to be beautiful because she's on the right because i am made fun of her
like designer jacket that time you know they like, how could you wear this jacket
when people are hungry somewhere?
And it immediately sold out.
That was the best part.
Melania has a fandom that I don't think
the mainstream media wants to acknowledge.
She's a supermodel.
She's a supermodel.
And also in a day and age of overexposure,
she said, no, you can't have me.
I'm for my family.
When she speaks, it's you can't have me. I'm for my family. And when she speaks,
it's that much more interesting and powerful. Of course, I, you know, with her memoir coming out,
it is interesting that she is going to release it before the election. I mean, to me, that does show
a certain level of political interest. They say that, you know, when the Grubbin' by the Pussy
tape came out, she was one of the people saying,
it's just locker room talk.
That's how you need to present this.
But also that she was mad at Donald Trump for days
and didn't talk to him about it
because she thought he had thrown his chance
at the presidency away.
It's this great combination of she's for the family
and she's private,
but she's not like a simpleton airhead
who wanders in the background
like I think the mainstream media wants her to be.
And I think that's,
I think a lot of American women resonate with that.
And I'm glad she's raising this issue in particular,
because even though we've talked about the assassination attempt a lot,
it's,
we're in the post show,
right?
I concur.
It's pretty fucking weird,
right?
Like all of the events of this day are very, very, very fucking weird.
The whole thing about how there's no information
about this kid.
Yeah.
And there wasn't even a debate question on this.
Like we didn't even acknowledge that
a presidential-
He had to bring it up himself.
Right.
I took a bullet for your rhetoric.
Yeah.
And Kamala was like,
well, not well enough.
You should have really been hit more.
That's a really dark thing to say.
I apologize.
I think she probably thinks it. That's what well enough. You should have really been hit more. That's a really dark thing to say. I apologize.
I think she probably thinks it.
That's what I think.
You know?
Yeah.
Because then Biden would not have had to drop out of the race.
They would have just shuffled him right back into the White House and could have sat at his little fake.
You know how he has that little fake White House setup?
His soundstage studio?
Yeah.
They had that set up for COVID.
Yeah. White House setup. His soundstage studio. Yeah, they had that setup for COVID. And it is so gross and disrespectful and undignified and insulting to the American voters, I find.
I never understood why they-
Show us the goddamn Oval Office.
Like, what the hell?
What are you hiding from us?
Why?
You have the most grand office in the history of the world.
Is there a CPAP machine in there or something?
What?
Why are you doing this in a studio?
Or is he just not really the resident of that office at this point?
It's very odd.
It's so strange.
It's very odd that they keep using this fake office with fake columns and fake backdrops.
But how symbolic of the whole administration, right?
Yeah, it's a production.
Joe Biden's at the helm and he's obviously not.
Okay, well, thank you for indulging me in my Melania talk.
Definitely more to come anytime there's a brimcast because I think she's such an underrated political figure. We're going to jump to callers. So I think first
up is one of the few first ladies who actually has the opportunity to be a cultural icon.
She definitely does. And they can't stop her from being one. She is one even when she won't
get the cover of Vogue. Let's jump to callers. Brandon James, you are with us.
Why, thank you, Annie Claire.
How's everyone doing?
Hello.
I think we're doing pretty well.
I'll jump into my question.
It was to the panel.
So, Colm Mahers during the debate said that she wanted, she wasn't going to take anybody's guns away.
But her and, you know, what is his name waltz yes yes yeah yeah a horrible man anyways they have a history of taking back guns especially
him as a governor so my question is uh how can we convince people of the danger they are to 2a
because i have a whole bunch of people that I live near
who just praise them after that debate that she's not going to take the guns away.
So how can I convince people of it?
You go first.
I was going to say it's a great question.
There's a video that has circulated on the social media that you should find where she's – it's 2019.
She's being interviewed. This exact
question comes up and she talks about her enthusiastic gun, mandatory gun buyback.
And she says that she has great passion for this. It's actually something I'm excited about becoming
president. And the moderator asks, and this is going to be mandatory. She's like, no, this is
mandatory. Right? So I think the way to convince your friends is this is not an evolution.
Like, you know what?
I didn't used to like broccoli, but I've had it now prepared a couple different ways, and it's actually pretty good, right?
This is not an evolution of something you didn't like in the past, and now you're okay with it.
Flip-flopping on something like guns or fracking are enormous policy positions.
And the fact that they are such huge flip-flops is proven by the or fracking are enormous policy positions.
And the fact that they are such huge flip-flops is proven by the fact that she won't talk about them.
She will not get pushed on this issue because she can't explain her positions on either side.
So if you tell your friends.
And that clip, I just retweeted it from the Postmillennial. So if you want to go to my tweet, I tweet, whatever, it's right there.
There's default to panic at the top.
Yeah.
Default to panic in these cases and panic is she's going to take your damn guns.
You can't default to, um, um, let's hope she's not going to do this.
That's a bad position.
I think when you're talking to your friends who enthusiastic, you know, show them the
clip that, that Libby and Daniel have brought up and then say, where has she explained
why she changed her position on this? Because now she's saying she won't, but she's not actually
guaranteed that her thoughts have changed. She's just sort of pretending she didn't say this in
the past, where she gave an explanation of why she was supportive of this policy before.
You know, I also, I don't, gun, but I support you guys who do.
I would feel as though it is not enough to have one, two Democrats who are like, well, we own guns, so we're OK with it.
When you know, as an apparatus, the Democratic Party is against gun ownership.
That would feel to me like too risky of a door to open if this is your like single issue maintaining as much
two-way rights making sure that's not encroached on in any way it doesn't seem like it's worth the
gamble just because she suddenly revealed oh i have a gun don't ask any specific follow-up
questions about that she could be talking about a nerf gun for all we know maybe she has a water
gun there's these cool water guns these spiras they're awesome or like a historic like a gun that was used a prop gun used in a movie and she's like it hangs on
the wall of my fancy apartment yeah yeah is that uh answer your question you want to shout anything
out oh i'd love to shout some stuff out and yes that answered the question very well so thank you
um just uh wanted to shout out my wife has uh well she's got a x page uh called
bs stitch she likes to do crochet she does what she calls thread art so if anybody needs any
christmas presents or any cool ideas you can go check out her uh what is that x page what is that B.S. Stitched. B.S. Stitched. Stitched. Two S's in there?
So it's B.S. Stitched?
Yeah, pretty much.
That's pretty cool.
It is crazy.
It's time to start thinking about Christmas shopping.
We are like ramping up on that season.
Every man in the room is like, what are you talking about?
But you have to prepare early for this.
I don't think that's it.
It's B.S and the word stitched.
B-S.
Yeah, capital B, capital S, and then stitched.
Titched.
Yep.
There it is.
Cool.
What am I doing wrong?
B-S-T-I-T-C-H-E-D.
Yeah, that's her page
she likes to make stuff
she will make dolls, hats, all sorts of really fun
she made a dragon the other day that was pretty cool
that's her page
well I like that you're shouting at your wife
I think married people are cool when they do that
thanks for calling in
well thank you very much
you all have a lovely night
next up is Jizo, I think.
Hello.
Hello.
Welcome.
Hi.
Always great to hear you guys.
So I don't know if the concept of civil war ever comes up on your show.
I've never heard of that.
Not on Brimcast.
It doesn't come up on Brimcast.
That's crazy.
For those new listeners, but many imagine that a civil war scenario would play out as if like Republican voters would be fighting Democrat voters.
But one thing that worries me is that this mass import of illegals, they could be the activated fighting force from the Democratic rogue state if Trump wins.
But do you think Trump with all these foreign wars might be spread too thin to have a response for some kind of a catastrophe like that?
Well, it's kind of a big question.
Trump's game plan is to end as many foreign conflicts as quickly as possible and then put America first. It seems like he is more interested in our domestic welfare than necessarily spending
intensely abroad to maintain, you know, whatever kind of economic influence we have over these
wars. That's just my opinion. I agree with you. I don't. So the question of like, could you
activate a group of immigrants who are, you know, maybe they feel like the Democratic Party is
they're indebted to them or certain president or whatever. It's kind of unclear.
I think what the bigger issue is, and we're kind of seeing this in Ohio, is the question
of crime.
Like if you have people who are undocumented, who are living by different cultural morals,
who are committing crimes and then not facing consequences, it makes your cities and your
states unstable.
And I think that's where you start to get this this idea of like, would it be Democrats or Republicans or would it be people who feel unsafe versus people who are kind of thriving off the chaos?
And I think in times of desperation, people do put politics aside to a certain extent.
But at that point, sometimes it's too late. Like if you have active chaos and you have interfighting in places, it's cartels and
stuff, you know? Yeah. If a cartel, I mean, you talk about this with Mexico, Mexico is heavily
influenced by the impact of cartels in their government. Can you imagine if a small town,
like we're talking about an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, what if it was a small town
that just got like taken over by a cartel? What are the local people going to do? They're going
to say, well, I'm not teaming up with you, Daniel, because you're a Democrat. Or are they going to be like, we all have to get out? It would be locals versus whoever is nefarious. And war, like a real civil war with sides and commanders requires a little bit of organization.
And I think these are too many disjointed groups coming in.
But what I do think is almost inevitable is increase of violence.
And my fear, and I don't want this to happen, but I do think it's also inevitable, is that the violence escalates because people start fighting back.
My mother lives in the Italian section of Queens.
And not long ago, the mafia neighborhood, Howard Beach,
she moved there to
downsize and now that dad is gone
it's good. She's in a safe
neighborhood with her own people so she's happy, right?
Because dad didn't like the Italians even though he married
one.
As if the
Irish could cook anything.
An old neighbor lady
drove to Costco, was
loading the things back in the car,
drove home. People
followed her because they saw she was
80 years old. They followed her. She pulls
into the driveway. They pull up behind, beat the
crap out of her, steal the car, etc., etc.
And the response of the
people at the church, and these are all good
Catholic Rosarians, the response
was, you know, this shit didn't happen when John Gotti was here.
And I've always been fascinated how the mafia, its origins are in the corruption and the
failure of the state to do its job.
Right.
That's what I feel is going to happen, is there going to be too many people who say
this Salvadorian gang, this MS-13, I don't know what the fuck is happening but the government is failing
where you're gonna enough dads are gonna be tired of the fact that their 17 year old daughters are
getting assaulted that when they pick up arms that's what scares the shit out of me because
you get the wrong group of dads or maybe the right group of dads who are defending their
wives or their daughters and they show up with their guns because the police says as a stand down order.
Now, that's what scares me because then the governor, especially if it's a blue state,
is going to, you know, look at what happened in England, right?
Where the prime minister was like, these right wing extremists,
the right wing extremists are responding to the fact that this immigrant group beat the crap out of a bunch of girls on a bus right so that's what my
fear is that that's what's gonna happen scandal like you know was it like arab and middle eastern
men um like engaging in massive sex trafficking with a bunch of british girls and the government
didn't do anything because they were like, oh, it would be racist.
It's just their culture to like
fuck our teen girls and destroy them.
Yeah, that's what they do the whole time.
It's really disgusting.
That's my fear.
That's what's going to happen.
And it hasn't happened yet,
but we now have 18 million people.
Part of why it doesn't happen is we keep self-segregating.
You know, like I left Nework and i'm in west virginia
and i miss new york a lot but like i don't miss the you know the crime stats that i've been seeing
or like this mom who was defending her condo and she was shot in the face and killed you know this
asian woman i saw that yeah i don't i don't um so I think the country is also big enough that by the time it fully saturates and we're truly fucked, like we'll be truly fucked.
Yeah.
You want to follow up with her ad?
Sorry, we're getting a little grim.
Sorry, I had such a downer.
Oh, it's an important one.
It is.
I do think so.
Because if I just want to tie my point with Little Bo, based on what you guys said, I agree.
It's this organized kind of cartel crime sort of brand of illegal immigrant that's being imported that I could almost imagine the deep state, if it gets desperate, if Trump does win, they fall back into those corrupt pockets.
And they start feeding those people those resources to give themselves like a last leg to stand on.
That was the only kind of point.
But I really loved hearing your guys exploration of that because you further
enriched like what I had in mind, but you, I think like distilled it much better.
So thanks very much. I really appreciate it.
Thanks for calling in.
Yeah, no problem.
Have a good night. Okay. So let's see.
Next up is mad social scientists. Are you with us, my friend?
I am here. Thanks for having me. And well wishes for a speedy recovery for Tim.
Got a question. First part, yes or no. And some framing. And the latter part with the border being such a major issue. Do you think it was a mistake that Trump didn't use the debate to call
out the support of Venezuelan-affiliated socialist groups for Kamala Harris, given a lot of the same
groups are currently involved in subverting the border and were organized at eight Venezuelan-sponsored
global conferences on migration, especially given he called out Venezuelan support for Biden in a campaign ad
in Miami in 2020 before the border was even an issue? And what effect do you think it would have
if Americans knew that the border subversion was operationalized directly by foreign groups
using domestic proxies that are affiliated with the Democrat Party.
It's crazy to me that no one ever wants to dig more into the funding for these things.
You know, I'm not super familiar with what's going on in Venezuela in terms of the funding
for the social groups that are advocating for refugees in the U.S.
We had Anya Parampil was on recently on the show, and she was talking about how the U.S. We had Anya Parampil was on recently on the show, and she was talking about how the U.S.
refuses to facilitate the return of migrants from Venezuela to Venezuela, even though Venezuelan
government is willing to take them. So and then you have reports in the U.S. that the Venezuelan
government is not willing to take them back. So that's interesting. But I discovered some stuff trying to dig into the money trail on the excesses of downplaying Christianity and Judaism in American textbooks.
And I found that a lot of that was funded directly by Arab American organizations that were funded directly by Iran and other places like that.
And I found that to be incredibly disturbing.
So it wouldn't surprise me about the Venezuela stuff. Venezuela was mentioned what three times in the
debate last night, and all three times it was mentioned by Donald Trump. I think that the 90
minute format on everything made it tough for him to get in all of the stuff that he might have
wanted to get in if it had been a foreign policy situation, you know, debate like you were talking about or like one that was just on immigration.
But I do think regardless of the funding, I think a lot of Americans are not aware that the Biden
administration has increased the number of refugees that are allowed into the country every
year up to like one hundred and twenty five thousand or something like that. Thirty thousand
extra people a month.
And this is in addition to the people
who are being allowed to stream in across the border.
And Venezuela is one of the nations
that has favored status.
And one thing that's interesting,
we were talking earlier about Lake and Riley's killer.
He was here, he was an asylum seeker.
He had come across the border with his wife
and her son from a previous relationship
to seek asylum. And his case was, you know, sometime in the future. So the notion that we're
vetting any of these Venezuelans who are coming in as their country collapses into freefall and
political opposition is being prosecuted, you know, kind of kind of like here.
It's pretty shocking. And I don't think people are aware of it.
And you also have the stigma of Trump having called places shithole countries. Right.
And he was talking about like, you know, what, Haiti and, you know, something like Venezuela under the kind of circumstances that it has now. And it has this smack of racism to it. You'll also
hear them say that Trump instituted a Muslim ban. And that is just not true. Trump instituted a ban
on accepting visas from countries that don't properly vet people before handing out visas.
And it was a an effort to, you know, fight terrorism and to prevent people who shouldn't be in the country from gaining access to the country.
And it was all about vetting people who get visas.
Now, it's not anybody's fault that it was primarily Muslim majority countries that don't vet people.
Right. Like that wasn't it wasn't a Muslim ban.
It was a, you know, trying to make sure that the people who are. Yeah. And so that's infuriating. But I'd be interested in this Venezuela funding thing. in having Dr. Ariel Sheen on the show, who is an expert on Venezuelan influence operations and
runs a private research agency. And I was an assistant to him. And since then, he's traced
a bunch more funding totaling $1.1 billion of Venezuelan support to domestic leftist radical
groups, which is more than 100 times that of the Russian op that you guys might be familiar with. So who should I email in regards to the possibility of getting him on the show so that that story
can be broken?
I can turn the tables and the guns on the other side.
Dr.
Ariel Sheen is what you're saying?
Yes.
OK, I can pass it along to one of our bookers.
I'm not sure what Tim had in mind, so I don't want to promise anything.
But if, you know, if they haven't reached out already, I'm sure they're just looking for a good matchup
for a culture war or something. Yeah, he's not very active on social media, so I would have to be
his proxy. But I will definitely follow up on that. And in the meantime, if people want to purchase the book International Castro
Chavismo that he translated that outlines the Venezuelan model, which is essentially the model
that's being exported here, that would make an excellent Christmas gift too. And thank you folks
for the time and have a wonderful rest of the day and best wishes to Tim's recovery.
Thanks for the call.
I love the idea that you would give everyone books for Christmas.
Okay.
It looks like last caller.
We have the duck that will,
and then it cuts off for me.
So you have to tell me what you're doing.
Yeah,
it's the duck save Britain.
And this is my third time calling,
but listening for about a year.
Yeah. So that's my introduction.
Welcome. Welcome to the show.
Thanks. I was thinking about something ever since the debate last night. Kamala Harris,
she had a chance to invite her supporters and any potential supporters to go to a Trump
rally. She said that you should go there sometime. It'll be very interesting.
And when she said that, she winked a few times as she was saying that. And I'm thinking to myself,
you don't wink unless you're giving a signal of some kind. Now, you got to think about this for
a second. The debate happened in Pennsylvania. I know it was Philadelphia. It wasn't Butler,
but it was still in Pennsylvania. And it were about a month out, maybe six weeks out from
the assassination attempt, which happened in Pennsylvania.
So I'm thinking to myself, why would Kamala Harris be suggesting that never Trumpers, people who hate Trump, people who she said or Trump who she said was basically Hitler and all these other things, a tyrant, a dictator, all this stuff, riling up people to want to do things like what Thomas Crooks did. So do you think that maybe she was giving a coded signal almost or like maybe a dog
whistle to send some of her supporters out to a Trump rally where they don't belong and
they would have no interest being there?
But why would she tell them to go there?
Can you give me some ideas as to any other possibilities of why she would send people
to a Trump rally that hate Trump?
Well, OK, so one of the things is that you're the crux of what you're saying is that she
winked during this.
And I didn't see that.
I'm not saying it didn't happen.
I would just have to go back and check.
I tend to think she just blinks really rapidly because she's anxious.
And, you know, I mean, the obvious reason that she would send people to a Trump rally,
which she wasn't actually serious about, she doesn't think any of her supporters are really going to go. Yeah. Like she said, it's like the
people leave early and it's boring. She was trying to get the dig in. Great. I don't think she was
trying to motivate anyone to go to a Trump rally. I think all of it was about trying to get an
emotional reaction out of Trump, which she sort of did. He did respond to the crowd size bait.
But yeah, I mean, she's giving giving a report on a Trump rally where I'm
absolutely sure she has never been at all. It wasn't about the voters. It wasn't about the
viewers. It wasn't about her supporters. It was about her obsession with getting some kind of
big reaction from Trump, because that's really the only person she's thinking about in this election.
Yeah, I will say when it comes, we were talking about the assassination attempt at the beginning, especially with Melania's book coming out. When you go back and
you look at the shooting of Gabby Giffords and how that basically destroyed Sarah Palin's career
because of the crosshairs, the non-reaction to the assassination attempt on President Trump is
shocking. It should be, you know, the demand to take down, to tone down the rhetoric, the demand to find common ground.
None of those pleas were made.
None of those calls were ever made.
There's a real complacency with the fact that it was Trump who was almost assassinated.
And I just wish, I wish we were just treated the same way the left is treated.
But we're never going to be.
You know, we got to get used to it.
Do you have any thoughts on Kamala Harris sending encouraging her supporters to attend a Trump rally?
I think she was just trying to signal that she thinks he's racist and evil and that his Trump, his supporters are also racist and evil.
Because the one thing that's clear about Kamala Harris is she hates half the half of Americans that would
vote for Trump and she doesn't have any time for any of us really she thinks we're all bad because
she's a mean girl remember when Dean Phillips you know she's brat mean girl she's all of those
things Dean Phillips who came in second during the primary remember when he went to the Trump
rally and he said how much he liked the people right and people are nice at Trump rallies I mean
I've been to those, you know,
I've been to like big Trump speeches and stuff
and everybody is super chill.
They make room for you to sit down and they're nice.
It's crazy to me that she brought up a Trump rally
in this baiting way,
knowing that there was a firefighter
who lost his life there
and there are two other men that were severely injured.
Like it does seem sort of flippant
to the point where it's a denial that this even happened.
Like the fact that she would she would use it to again to bait her opponent as opposed to acknowledge that like she is referencing a place where people experience a tragedy is it's gross to me.
I don't think it's a like subtle signal to her followers.
So I just think it's it shows a level of denial of what happened on July 13th
and an attempt to sort of rewrite history I would say
do you have anything you want to follow up with or shout out
yeah basically now that I look back I'm watching the video again as you were talking
I'm sorry I'm multitasking but yeah she did blink like four or five times
so maybe she was just getting the light in her eye
or something like that. Maybe I just looked too far into it.
But what you were saying about
how they're basically trying to bury it,
it's just weird to me that
she chose Pennsylvania
to do this in, and she needs to win Pennsylvania.
So I'm starting to think maybe
she doesn't think she's going to win.
Maybe she's just throwing in the towel a little bit
by ruining her chances out here.
Because, like, I'm in Philly.
I live in Philly.
Or I live right outside of it.
So, like, I can pretty much barometer, like, how people are feeling about Kamala.
And it's not good for her out here.
Like, in Philadelphia, in deep blue, has been blue since 1952.
So we've been going 70-something years with all Democrats.
And they're tired of it and i'm seeing it so for her to come to the state where i haven't done anything good for philly
like yeah anyway sorry yeah but for her to come to this to the state where trump was almost
assassinated and then tell people that that she knows doesn't like trump to come there it's like
it's it's just it's bad optics really it's it's really bad so yeah yeah i guess she wasn't like Trump to come there. It's like, it's bad optics, really. It's really bad.
So yeah, I guess she wasn't sending any kind of coded signal and I'm just looking too far into it.
But it's just like, this is the wrong place
and the wrong time to do that kind of stuff though.
Yeah, she should have acknowledged,
like if you're going to reference a Trump rally,
you just can't do it without acknowledging
the tragedy that happened there.
But like when you say that she was like,
you thought winking,
but looks like rapidly blinking.
You know, part of it is,
I think she is preparing.
She's trying to remember
what she was told during debate prep
to bring up to, again,
get an emotional reaction from Donald Trump
because she is not running
and I can win this on my merit and skills
and ideas for the country campaign.
She's running this on a Donald Trump shouldn't win it and I'm the other option campaign.
That's very different.
Yeah, I don't think she was expecting to be in the spotlight this soon and she's trying to play catch up.
She probably, you know, she wants the job, there's no doubt, but just because she wants the raw power.
But this is what happens when your candidate is selected by George Clooney.
Right.
All hail Hollywood and their influence on politics.
Thanks for the question.
Before you go, is there anything you want to shout out?
Any other information you want to leave us with?
Just one more thing.
It's a quick theory that I posited to the VIP chat.
I think it was today or yesterday.
But I think that she's not trying to win.
I think that she's just trying to pull enough voters away from Trump so that the Republican Party is damaged into the future.
So I think if she's not trying to win, then she wants Trump to win, but she knows that she has enough pull and enough Obama linkage to the rest of Congress that she can once again hamstring everything he does from
behind the scenes.
So, yeah, I think that she gave up on Pennsylvania.
And that's the last thing I'm going to say about this.
And that's my theory.
I have nothing to really shout out except for the VIP chat.
And I just want to shout out the member of Tenor Sheriff.
He's the reason why I had a name like this, a dog that will save Britain.
Well, great.
Thanks for calling in.
Yes, thanks for shouting out the Discord.
They do a lot of great work there.
And that's our last caller for the night.
Well, I will say about, and then we can, I'm happy to end, but I'm tired.
But the thing with potentially wanting Trump to win, I think she sacrificed Pennsylvania when she didn't pick Shapiro.
And I think she didn't pick Shapiro for two reasons.
One, he's Jewish.
And two, he's a way more talented politician than she is.
And he would have outshined her at every single step of the way.
And it would have looked like, wait, who's that lady?
Why isn't this guy in charge?
You know, whether you agree with his policies or not.
And I don't agree with a lot of them.
But he's good at his job, you know.
So I think that that was too bad. But also, I think what you have from the Democrat Party party candidacy and the Tea Party and, you know, how important that is. And all of that led directly
to where we are now with this conservative movement that is like cool with social programs
and into America and like all the rest of it. You know what I mean? So I think they forget about
that. But you've had Pete Buttigieg saying, you know, if Trump goes down, that's the end of it. You know what I mean? So I think they forget about that. But you've had Pete Buttigieg saying,
you know,
if Trump goes down,
that's the end of MAGA.
You have all of the establishment Republicans wanting this to be the end of MAGA because they want their uniparty back. They want their,
they want their,
their.
100 percent.
Power back.
So she chose Tim Waltz for the same reason Hillary Clinton chose Tim Kaine and that they're both beta men.
They're sitcom dads, right?
They're Phil Dumfrey from Modern Family where they're lovable but doofus and tripping and always they don't put the blender lid on properly.
Yeah, and they spill things and they need a strong woman like the mom in modern family who keeps him
in line and she's got her shit together i mean the mom who's married to al bundy exactly no no no
the blonde the other one claire yeah like that's who they are they're like lovable doofus guys
who are complete betas and that's why hillary chose tim kaine and that's why and if anyone
is offended by that just tell me something tim kaine has done um and that's why Hillary chose Tim Kaine and that's why and if anyone is offended by that just
tell me something Tim Kaine has done um and that's why she chose Tim Waltz because they're just they're
just beta doofuses and I remember there was a there's a great anecdote from Bob Newhart when he
was doing that show um I think it was the first one with Suzanne Plachette and he was like
psychiatrist in uh Chicago um which was a really great show if you want to go watch it,
but they wanted them to have kids.
And Bob says to the producers,
like you're the network or whatever.
Hey, that's a great idea,
but who are you going to get to play Bob?
Because he did not want to be that fucking loser guy.
He didn't want it.
But I think you're both right.
Hillary Clinton for sure and definitely
Kamala Harris needed a
man that would be subservient and goofy
comic relief to make her look
more strong and competent. I mean,
people are tired of those
commercials that kind of cast dads
as these dumb losers
who can't figure anything out.
I don't think it's a strategic choice.
I think it was an emotional choice.
She didn't want to have to be outshined by anyone.
But with that, we should wrap up.
We should let Libby go on her birthday.
Happy birthday!
Daniel, it's been so fun having you here.
Thank you.
I'm glad you could make it.
I hope you come back soon.
I always want you to do the show holding a lamb.
I think that would be the best.
I'll bring lambs.
I'll bring dogs.
I think I could figure out a spinning wheel.
I've seen people do it.
I think I could do it.
You moved to West Virginia and now you're like, I'm making my own bread and mozzarella.
I was doing the bread already.
Okay.
But only pizza dough and still only pizza dough.
Well, again, regionalism, Italian New York.
Anyways, we got to go.
I could talk to you guys both forever.
Guys, thank you for watching tonight.
I go watch this stuff in the morning and come back tomorrow and subscribe and the buttons.
And yeah, thank you for everything you do.
Have a good night.
