MAGA Mondays: Trump Admin Party Video Sparks MAGA Backlash

0:00Hey, everyone, it's me, Sam Stein, I'm managing here at the board. I'm with Will Summer, and this is another edition of Magamundays. I missed the last one. I felt really upset about that, and we were not going to be able to do this one, because we both have something going on midday, but we decided to do it a little earlier to get one more Magamunday, and that's why we're up at 9 a.m. and not 10 a.m. So apologies if you were waiting for us, and you just tuned in and discovered this show's already done, and it's not live anymore. Either way, we have a really great show. Well, how are you doing, first of all? How are you? I feel like I haven't seen you in ages. I know. I know rainy weekend, but lots of fun, and there was so much drama on the right to discuss. There was a guy who is involved in like alternative technologies on the right, who fried his brain with one of his technologies. He's come back to life or something, but I'm reasonably fried. Well, according to him, he fried his brain. So not that figuratively, literally. Yes, literally. Literally. He said he got a brain bleed from like his technology,

1:02but he's back. He says he's okay. I'm reaching out to him. I want to learn more. But but this is, but that's that's like that doesn't even make the run a show. That's how much stuff we have. Sorry. I did literally did a spit like when he said I'm reaching out. Poor guy's brain is fried and he got well. This just came up in my Twitter algorithm. It was like, hey, this is Matt's girlfriend. He fried his brain with one of his homemade inventions. And I please contact Matt. I'm dying. Well, thanks for asking how my weekend was. I'll tell you it was lovely. No, the rain really sucked, but we had a great time in Springfield. I know people are writing about that and people have been talking about it, but honestly, we raised like $345,000 as of this morning for the Haitian community there. It was insane. It was such a lovely experience. And there's more to come on that. But this shows not about that. This shows about the absurdities of the online right. And nothing has actually blown up more this weekend than this very short clip

2:09from Dan Scevino, Trump's former golf caddy, turn, top white house aid. But you have a little bit more to it. I will. Let's be out with video. Yeah, you tease it first. Yeah, so the background here is the state dinner for G, G, Jingping. And so she is, thank you. So basically, Scevino, but really sort of apropos of nothing. I think on Saturday night post this AI video of him and Eric Trump. And we've had to cut out the audio for copyright reasons. It's them. And I guess one of them kind of looks like Eric Trump's wife. And then the other one of them's definitely Laura Trump, I think almost surely. I think we can assume the other is supposed to be Aaron Elmore, who is Scevino's wife, new wife, and you know, is kind of a Trump role character herself. As we play the video, I want people to look at the woman's arm. It kind of looks more like a leg.

3:11So just to be clear, this is AI. Yes, this is AI. So yeah, so let's just play this video. So yeah, they're on a luggage cart. They're drinking champagne, Scevino's sprang champagne, and then Trump can play it again. Let's keep playing it just so people can see. Yeah, Eric Trump, I guess Laura Trump. Some, that is a, yeah, that's a, is she holding her high heel? Yeah, it looks like her arms just really long. It looks like a, we didn't pay for the higher class AI, you know. Keep going. And what is funny though, I guess she looks a little like his wife, but not really like it kind of looks like Scevino's just like, and then I'm just hanging out with some lady. And Trump shows up at the very end. Arms kind of, how do you like her? How do you like her? What are you guys doing? Big guys. And I guess they're supposed to be at the White House. Now, let me set this up for a will because there's something more to this. I don't think people I certainly haven't appreciated. So this blew up on the right. And not only the right everywhere,

4:12because people like this is Marie Antoinette on steroids. You guys are living it up lavishly with your champagne on a wire riding in some bell hop cart, but you're doing it and you seem to be having a great time. And you know, you're bow ties untied, because you're just loving life. And meanwhile, gas is 450 and diesel 675. So like, what the hell? And even like a bunch of Republican accounts were kind of mocking this. And also just sort of like what tone deaf nonsense Dan Skovino is doing here. And honestly, it made no sense. It made no sense to me because it obviously would give off those vibes. And then he kept getting shit for it from accounts that the White House can't afford to piss off. And he kept the thing up. And so I was sort of bewildered by this entire thing, wondering why they would do some sort of self-inflicting wound like this. And then this morning, like five minutes before we're about to go on,

5:12will blows my mind by said, but with this alternate thesis about what's going on here that actually makes more sense. So will what is it? Yes, and forgive the sirens. But basically, this is maybe Skovino trying to get to you before you. I'm very well-controlled part of the city. So basically, the, I saw this about an hour after it went up. And I was looking at it and I was like, this is so odd. Am I missing something here? And all the replies were QAnon people quoting QAnon clues, saying like, oh my god, QAnon phrases like future proves past. Oh, all this kind of stuff. And so I just talked about this with one of the wisest QAnon analysts out there, a guy named Poker in Politics. This is a guy who tracks them very closely. And he said, this is a QAnon signal. And I, let me lay out the case here. And because I think a lot of times, you know, QAnon people kind of jump on anything. Oh, Trump made a 17 with his hands and, you know, whatever. But I think there's actually a somewhat compelling case

6:14that Skovino meant this as a signal to QAnon. And I realized I sounded a little crazy here. But basically, in, since QAnon has gone off in many different offshoots, but one faction of QAnon is obsessed with this account called Il Denaldo Trumpo on Twitter. And I was not aware of this because I found out today Denaldo blocks me on Twitter. And so, but basically he has like over a million followers. And essentially, he is like a meme account. But more recently, Denaldo posted a sort of a QAnon type meme. It was a magic eye, if you look at it, it looked like Q. And these QAnon people said, this is Trump's secret account. This is the Trump meme account that he uses to post all his messages to his followers. So it's kind of like QAnon too. Someone tweeted at Skovino a few days ago, hey, Skovino, if this is true, post a video of pit bull, excuse me, post a pit bull song because Il Denaldo Trumpo,

7:16I guess is associated with pit bull, because I'm sorry, it's like Trump Poppy. There's some poppy element. I guess pit bull is like pit bull poppy, whatever. And then Skovino does. I mean, that video, we have to cut the audio, but it includes a pit bull song. So, you know, it makes you wonder. So Skovino was queued up by big QAnon account to do, by a big account to post a pit bull song, and then he proceeds to just do it. I mean, that's kind of how it looks. I mean, it sort of seems as though they said, hey, to confirm that this poppy account is Trump at Skovino. Why don't you post a video with a pit bull song in it? But the poppy account is not Trump. Well, we know it's not Trump, but like, you know, I don't know, things are not looking good at the White House. Maybe they want to kind of keep QAnon engaged. So the idea is like throw them a bone subtly, and then... Yeah, and certainly in a way that no one else recognize. Yeah, so how I guess the question is, how is this going over with the Q community, this video?

8:19They're ecstatic. They love it. Really? What do they say? Yeah, because they're saying, you know, this has been confirmed that Trump has this secret account about how great everything's going and that QAnon is real. And, you know, look, we got it from Dan Skovino himself. Is Skovino regard... I mean, Skovino is like the closest aid Trump has, basically. So he must be regarded as an authority there. Yeah, I mean, look, I mean, this isn't something I would... I believe 100%, but on the other hand, you know, I think it's a relatively compelling explanation for why Skovino would post a pit bull video of him, you know, going wild. It does, yeah, there's not money. Let's look at it from like, like, let's try to actually eliminate the other possibilities here because there aren't many, right? He posts this video. It's incredibly out of touch. It does come after the state dinner. So they were all in black time and such. The alternate explanation is he was just having such a good time and he was so happy with how things are going.

9:22And he was overwhelmed with joy that he felt like he had to make a video, a very short video with a pit bull audio and AI generated footage and post it. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah, I mean, I think the other theory is that he's sort of like, this is how people think things are so debauched in the White House. But actually, we are hard at work for the American people. But that's not the video he posted. Obviously, positive video then just parting it up. Yes, that's true. I guess, okay. So here is a, here is a, I'm starting to get one over a little bit by this. Tell me a little bit more about this, El Dadido or El Bobino. El Canaldo, Trumpo, Oopopi. How long has it been around? Because how big is it? I mean, like I said, it has a million followers, so it's pretty popular. And people assume that it's Donald Trump just kind of riffing on a burn. Yes. Okay. And what is it post?

10:23What type of stuff? It's a lot of like Trump memes and it's sort of like, you know, the best is yet to come. You know, we're in a golden era. But it's also because Denaldo, Trumpo has associated itself with QAnon by saying that that is Trump's account. That means Trump is saying QAnon's real. Right. You know, Hillary Clinton's drinking children's blood, but don't worry, it's a clone. You know, they're all going to Guantanamo back. And, you know, Sam, can I just make a point here? Sure. The first QAnon emerged in October 2017 when the Trump administration was kind of mired. Mueller investigation was going on. All this kind of stuff was happening. That was a little depressing for Trump voters. Now things aren't looking too good either right now. Right. So you could imagine if you're dance kovino, you say, you know, let's give a little QAnon a bone. Let's let's let's let's get them a little energized. Yeah. And you were you had I use funny because I was looking back at some of your stories just the other day. And you had written about how QAnon had kind of fallen out of lovely Trump a little bit over.

11:24What was it? It was the Epstein Files or was it something else? I forget which one or most of it was. There was something they did like a QAnon. It was like a very explicit nod to Q that was like it was like a video or something. It was really weird. And like Trump's always posting QAnon stuff on it. That's kind of funny about it too because like Trump actually does post a ton of QAnon stuff on truth social. Yeah. So if you wanted to see evidence that QAnon was real and that Trump's confirming it, like he does that all the time. Yeah. So I guess that's a case for why this giving a thing wasn't it because it's not subtle. It's just direct unless they really want to, you know, single to the Q community. Hey, we need you here. The other case for why this was just giving a with a huge brain fart and, you know, kind of fucking up is that he's not the only one who posted like this. So here's a video of Sean Duffy from the actual event if we can play it. Yeah. So he cut the audio. We had to cut the audio. So he's just there at the gala, you know, you know, he's just saying like,

12:26yeah, we're, you know, this is the best time of our lives. There's meaning, you know, it's giving us, just give it like a selfie stick. He's got a, he's got long arms or a selfie stick. So basically for the people who can't see Duffy is just in, everyone's in black time. Everyone's looking great. They're all walking down the red carpet. In the white house, they'll have drinks in hand. They're just having the time of their life. And, you know, that, you know, again, it had the whole my ranch when it vines where it's like this. You guys are totally clueless. I can't even afford, you know, dinner for my kids. And you guys are just laughing and up at the white house. And I think Duffy's wife, um, Campo stuffy was, you know, tweeted it out being like, oh, we've come a long way from the days when we were like, you know, getting dairy queen. And it's like, yeah, you have having you kind of lost touch. So that's a case for why they're just out of time. Yeah. So this is the, this is the, this is the, this is the, the Sean Duffy who is the secretary of transportation. Other people, people probably know him best for his reality show about his road trip and where his daughter is going to go to college.

13:26But that guy's actually in the cabinet too. I think you're going to say real world. But yeah, they know him best from this show that aired in like 20. Well, that's kind of it. That's the other thing. It's like, all right, fresh off a shaking down companies. I regulate, you know, to take my family on vacation. Here now, let's have a party. Yeah, this is awesome. And we're the Chinese president. And it's amazing. And they're all having fun. And champagne's flying everywhere. It really is. It's really tone deaf. So yeah, I guess like, how do I come out of this? I think, I think you're right. I think there's, I think there's a single to queue. I do. Is that crazy? Am I am I losing my mind? Is my brain fried? I mean, it seems kind of crazy. I need to delve into this a bit more. But I feel like Cicabino has done some queue signaling in the past. And so that's, that makes me think it's so weird. And I will say like kind of the party vibes to it.

14:27That's also like very QAnonny because it's sort of, yeah, like the idea of like, you know, like our enemies are going to prison. And maybe you're overreiting it there, buddy. I don't know. You know, Q better than I do. What about all these Trump ads? The government funded ads? Are there QCluse in there? Like the love me? You know, you know, I haven't seen any like obvious Q stuff there. But it's just weird, right? I mean, it is, it's very, I, why couldn't, if they were going to use government money to buy an ad, why wouldn't they just make a, you know, hey, I'm Donald Trump, you know, Republican's rule? My theory is that Trump basically was like, I want to make the ad. You guys suck. My number is when the toilet and I need to take over this shit. I'm going to make the ad and I'm so smart, I'm going to pay for it with taxpayer money. So it's like cost-free basically. And the ads come out super weird because Donald Trump's super weird. That's my theory of the case. Any other thoughts on our,

15:27these, let them be cake videos? Are, are we kind of exhausted that? It is just crazy. I mean, like taking the Q and on out of it, like the, it's just crazy, like the vibe of just this kind of like, yeah, we're like living it up. We can't, we put up this tweet. We have in the doc, Matt. Can we put that up? Yeah, so can you explain what this is? Because we have this tweet. This is related to the issue. Yeah, so first we, these are, this is like in the guts of Q and on Twitter. This account called the We Are Woq 1776. And so this is when they, they thought, they, they, this was pre-Skivino. They thought that there was this, this evidence gathering that Trump ran this poppy account. And so he says, I freaking knew it. Now listen, I can't verify that account is a true soccer account for Trump. But this is super cool and gets me fired up. And then someone else says, Kimberly Ower, another Q and on person I assume, if Trump is poppy, then maybe at Skavino could give us a nod and post something with Pitbull music. I mean, he is a poppy at low L. This is before he posts.

16:28This is before the video. Yeah, this would have been I think Friday afternoon. Oh my god, my mind's kind of blown by this a little bit. All right, so I mean, and that is such a specific thing. Like sometimes people say like, oh, a Q and on clue is Trump's going to say something is, you know, the best thing ever. Like these things he says all the time. But that's pretty specific. Matt, can we find out if Skavino follows this Kimberly Ower account? Like while we're on, maybe we can try to figure it out. And like just if. Oh my god, if it does, that'd be incredible. All right, let's try to figure that out. In the meantime, I did not see a single second of this. I'm coming in real raw, but some apparently there's a date, a pro data center party. Oh, you weren't there? I was no, it was here. It was here. It was in DC. I thought it was in Virginia. It was at the end, and like just to give folks a bit of DC slice of life. This is what used to be Hill Country barbecue. This was a great spot in downtown DC. And it has now become pub key, the Bitcoin bar. This is what Donald Trump's

17:30administration has done to DC. So yeah, so they had when you know a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago when like there was a like anti AI stuff. It's really rising. All like the pro AI robo heads said, let's throw a pro data center party in DC. And of course, the crypto bar was the natural choice. So there were over a thousand people on the guest list for this thing. Oh my gosh, all of the creepy crawlies came out for this one. And so indeed, you know, the line was down the line to get in was down the block. And this is the pro data center party. Can we put the video? This seems insane. People were asking why do you love data centers? DC's pro data center party. I'm asking why people love data centers? Because I love the internet and it allows me to be on the internet. Is there going to power the future? Rob is all there. That's necessary infrastructure. It's ridiculous to be against them. And I'd rather have them here than in China. It goes on. It goes on like that.

18:30Oh my god. Who would voluntarily show up at that? I guess if it's free drinks and dude, you know, it's an interesting party. I think it surfaces a couple currents of foot in Trump's DC among young people. There's kind of like this sort of like dime square refuse. These people who were kind of like man, Latin, neo fat, you know, the dime square scene in Manhattan. Right. Like the red scare podcast. So these are like some of them are tradcasts. So some of them are like, you know, Catholic converts. Some of them, this is all around the red scare podcast folks. You can use that as kind of a short hand. And they're like, these are often people who were lefties and then decided to become like quasi fascists. And they've washed up in DC with the new administration. Okay. They have a they have a sub stack folks called secret ballot. If you want to learn more about the DC, you know, weirdo scene. And so so they're there. I think there's probably like some tech lobbyists types there. Some Republican Congress types.

19:30We saw Robbie Suave of Reason Magazine. You know, he obviously loves data centers. And you know, it I will say saw seeing some characters in this video. That no comment on those that we saw already. But some later ones I like read considered some fashion choices. I was considering making. I've been like, I should get a shirt like this. And then I saw someone wearing it. I was like, you know what? Well, let's cancel that. That's for the pro data center. That's the that's the clawing gang. That's not. I wonder if there are different factions within the pro data center. I was like, I'm a clawed person. No, I'm an open AI person. Oh my god. You know, I'm sure there are. I mean, the it's interesting to me. A lot of these characters, their arguments in favor of data centers were kind of like pre AI. There was guy who was like, I like streaming sports. And it's like, all right. That's not really what the data center. Yeah, I know it's a computer thing. You know, but that's not why they're sprouting up everywhere. Just to be clear, you could stream sports before the data centers came online. It was yeah, not that helpful. Where would sorry? This was a night party, not a day party, right?

20:32It was a night party. Yes, we call them a night party. I just want to be clear. It's not like coming out midday. It was late. It was I think Saturday night. And I will say I was kind of kicking myself that I didn't go. I think it would have been a good scene for me. Did you even know what's happening? I did know about it. Yeah, I mean, they've been talking it up. Man, Taylor O'Ren's I think has been tweeting about it. All the pro tech people have been very eager to, you know, to see and be seen at this event. It feels oddly not counterculture. It's like they're trying to be counterculture because they think the winds are with them or against them, I should say. But it just feels kind of dorky. Yeah, well, oh, you really think the data center party's dorky. So the I mean, I do think I mean, theory obviously is like a long history of kind of like DC Republican types being like the most anti establishment thing I can do is side with power and money. And so certainly that's what happened here. But I think there's also an interesting thing here. They had a sign that said Virginia is for data centers, which I think

21:32that's why I thought it was in Virginia. Well, that's what set people off because it's kind of like DC colonialism. Yes. So it says Emily Canard posted a picture. It says Virginia is for servers. And this opens up and let's keep the tweet up here. An interesting faction fight within the right, which is you have the tech gang. But then you also have like the back to the earth often Catholic people. And so we have Mary Margaret Olehann, who is really one of the White House's favorite reporters. She works for the daily wire. She tweets Virginia is a beautiful state. She's very Catholic as far as I can tell. Virginia is a beautiful state full of families and horse country and wineries and mountain Catholic homeschoolers and patriotic red necks. What an image you paid. Oh my god. Rolling hills and picturesque as far as it's like to be clear. It's also like Tyson's corner and the express farms and the most beautiful roll roads you've ever seen. We have no desire for you to ruin our shy or with your servers. This isn't the fucking Lord of the Rings. Yeah, like you're walking down to Roslyn on a Tuesday.

22:32You're the no shy. We don't ruin humble. Yeah. No, they're missing. As someone who had to go into Roslyn every day for work for a while, I can tell you it was solace. To a degree that I didn't really appreciate until I was there. Once you're eating your four straight day of Kava lunch, you're like, it's like, bring on the data centers at that point. Just kill me. So yeah, so that's, you know, there's a lot of drama as I said. There's sort of a feeling that this is DC imposing data centers on everyone. But I want to be clear. This is not this is not represent DC. This is if anything and San Francisco in position on DC. These are these are this is the kind of party you see going on with young people in San Francisco when they have like, let's all bring canned fish to a party. Why don't we eat canned fish or they have like a cute party or oh yeah, they had a fish party because they don't know how to have they don't know how to party say I'm not like us. And so you know, they they they would be like there's a jump between being like, man, I don't really know how to party that well to being like, you know what I can do?

23:33Bring a bunch of canned fish and sardines with me to a party. That sounds awesome. This is a big thing among right leaning tech people in San Francisco, young people, if they have these theme parties that are like canned fish. But you know, all these people love canned fish. You don't know about this. I've never heard of canned fish. A lot of a lot of factions on the right love canned fish. Now in fairness, so do a lot of other Gen Z people. But like the dime square people love canned fish. This is taken off. I'm not going to like shitting a guy's love of good tuna sandwich. I got no ways in to say canned fish is big amongst Gen Z in general. Not for me. Let's just I mean, I've seen people looking you take a nice little sip of your little coffee cup right? Yeah, no, I've seen I feel like, you know, bougie sardine cans and things like that. But I didn't think this was a thing on the right. And also, what about I'm a little bit worried because your mercury levels will get very elevated if you keep doing this shit.

24:33Watch out kids. I'm serious about that. My dad was eating so much tuna fish at one point that his mercury went up and he had to stop eating tuna fish. You can't get away with that for too long. That's disgusting. I don't want to go to a canned fish party. Imagine just the scent. It's just it seems awful. Like your love is like your new overlords. Doing some drugs. It needs some tuna. That's my Friday night. Oh my god. We need to give them to you know, combining the canned fish and the data centers is not a great idea. I just feel like that's the worst part I could possibly imagine. Yeah. And the DC heat at least it wasn't super hot. All right, what else? Oh, I've been looking forward to this one. Mark Halperin. So Mark Halperin for those who know is long time Washington Journal kind of disgraced in the Me Too movement because it's sexual allegations. Yeah, he did pretty bad things to women. And he was kind of thrown out of mainstream circles,

25:34but he's made a comeback as a bit of a mega-ish. I wouldn't say totally mega because he does occasionally do course corrections for the magnet narrative. And he's on a big one right now. He's been in a couple columns. Didn't realize he was at the Daily Mail, but he is at the Daily Mail as a contributor. And he's been writing about his Trump sources, basically. And here's the headline. My Trump sources say that this is a classic Daily Mail headline. So long. My Trump sources say the president's worst nightmare imaginal has arrived. Panic texts and emails from GOP insiders are blowing up my phone. They're all saying the same thing, Mark Halperin. So they're saying Mark Halperin. That's as as our colleague who know pointed out that does say, see, they're all saying the same thing, Mark Halperin. This is interesting, as you said, because Halperin, I would say, it's funny to call him a mainstream media reporter. He has a strong thing called two-way. But basically, this is a guy who's not explicitly saying he's a conservative reporter. But on the other hand, I would say he's generally more friendly to Trump narratives than others.

26:38And so it's... But he does... He's friendly to Trump narratives in a way that's very sort of like, there's me, the only mainstream reporter actually taking Trump narratives very seriously. And here's you who dismisses this stuff. And I was right about this. And therefore, you should take me seriously. It's kind of Selena Zito-S, you know, it's like that. So when he's putting out the column that's like, GOP Doom awaits in November, I thought it was interesting, because obviously a lot of people are saying GOP Doom awaits in November. But when you have Halperin saying it, that's gets a little alarming for people in Trump world. And so we see... There was some big Trump world person who... Can we put this up? The response? From Las Avitas. It was Las Avitas. So Chris Las Avitas is Trump's former campaign manager. Do we have the response? If not, we can just sort of describe it. Basically, he said Trump... He said... Sorry about that. That's my bad. But basically, he said, you know, Halperin is full of it. He said, you know, Halperin is just making it up.

27:41Yeah. And they've been going at it back and forth. I guess it is kind of interesting. I don't want to get so inside of here. But like, I'm assuming they sort of have a professional relationship in Las Avitas probably has fed Halperin a bunch of stuff over the years. So for him to turn this hard on Halperin is kind of interesting. But yeah, like, I don't know. I will say this, like, it's not inconceivable to Halperin's completely right here. He did, I will give him credit. He got the Biden story, Biden dropping out right. Like, he... Every now and then he's gotten real big stories. I don't necessarily... You know, whatever you want to say about his journals. I'm not the biggest fan, but whatever. It is. So it's possibly right in Las Avitas might be freaking out. Yeah, I think it's just... It's interesting that I think this is probably someone who is read with respect in the White House. And also, I think, among the Trump base, I've talked to a lot of people. Here we go. Las Avitas says, reality, Mark Halperin is an Instagram influencer in a foxhole with the camera turned on himself doing makeup tips

28:42about how hard it is to deal with the humidity. Actually, I'm not sure. Maybe you got to be a real Halperin head to get that one. Actually, kind of genius how he writes a derivative column about conventional wisdom with no original reporting and block quotes from other public work, most BS. And turns it into a testimonial about his own access and reporting, reporting, acumen, sad. He also just said it was, I believe he said, was full of shit in another tweet. And so then let's throw out that second Halperin column real quickly. He says, Trump's in top advisor says, I'm full of shit after I expose the president's first nightmare. Now, GOP insiders feel the wheels are coming, fear the wheels are coming off in this White House. So Halperin is being reverse polarized against against the Trump administration. He's joining the resistance. I just think it's interesting because so many people have been saying it's looking bad for Republicans. But when you have one of these guys, who I think they see as like an honest reporter saying it, there's that clearly starts a real panic. Yeah. Well, I think that and I think Lassavita's protesting a bit too much there. We have so much to get to and so little time. I want to run through a few more.

29:43Could we do her meat? Because that was insane. Okay, so people know her meat, Dylan, right? Or do we need to explain? She's the top official video, Jay. I believe she's deputy AG. She runs the Civil Rights Division. But she's perhaps most famous for her insistent tweeting. She has historically taken ideas for what the Civil Rights Division should do from Twitter. So they'll tweet like, or meat, a white guy didn't get a job as the third oboeist at the province. It happened. Yeah, this is I'm not making this up. Like at the Boston Symphony or whatever, can you look into whether this was racial discrimination? And she tweets on it, looking into it. And so over a weekend though, there's some evidence. And I think we're going to get into this continuing dispute over Indian Americans with the GOP. But there's some evidence that Hermit's getting fed up with the suggestion's box. Because some crackpot tweets, basically they found a trans person who was kind of making light of the Charlie Kirk assassination was kind of dressed up as Charlie Kirk. Oh my gosh, what an image.

30:43Oh, I hate it. But basically they're saying, hey, Hermit, look into this person. It's a major concern. And then Hermit says, it's a Saturday afternoon. And this is my pricier account, which she means private. She clarifies. So this is my private account blocked. Yeah, that's an unfortunate typo. Yes, this is my pricier account. Like, hey, that came up a lot in the resplise where they are like, what the hell do you mean pricier? It's like, so it is inter, I mean, this is kind of like exactly the kind of thing they want. The, you know, the Trump base thinks that Hermit should be doing, which is that like, you know, if someone makes light of Charlie Kirk's assassination, that the, you know, the Justice Department should be trying to get them fired from their job or what have you. It also gets to the problem that they're having, which is they, there's a perception that they're just parting and not at work. And so when she says it's the weekend and this is my pricier account. Because I mean, basically these people were, I don't think they had evidence, but they were like, this person is like, this person we found is like a threat. Like, you know, like they could hurt people. And then she's just like, for Hermit to say, I'll check it on Monday.

31:48This is also the account where I post my knitting pictures like back off. Yeah, I just knit a hat for Laura Ingram or whatever. I don't give her a meet some credit. She knits, I like her knitting. I think it's good. She also has some great flower pictures. She posts so much and she replies to so many random people. We did a piece about this really early arm. It's just like, you got a chill girl. It was something like she was doing like 20 times a day or something and say it. And it was like, please run the similar rights division. Or maybe, no, maybe just stay on Twitter. Yeah, I think that was the conclusion was actually, it would be far better for her. Yeah, you know, just suss over oboists and, you know, the DC bunny scene or whatever it is. Okay, the Indian stuff. I guess it kind of segues into this because I was talking with a friend about this over the weekend who is Indian. And it's like a bit, I feel like it's underappreciated what's happening here around anti-Indian racism rampant in the GOP. I don't, where did it originate?

32:51Like, I mean, maybe it's always been there, right? But like, why is it surfacing now? You know, it's been going on for a couple years. And I mean, you know, people obviously will say, well, you know, 20 years ago there was this racist incident. But it is, this is like a new surge. And it, it, it, it, it, it, like really kind of personally, bums me out to see like a new racism develop. But basically, this has been cooking for a couple years. I think one aspect is, I think TikTok. And I actually, you know, I sound a little crazy here. But even the people who are supporting this, you know, say it's probably true. I think maybe China was tinkering with the algorithm a little bit. They're not big fans of India. But basically, there's been a lot of this, I believe it was Tyler Olivera, who's kind of like a Nick Shirley type YouTube guy. He went to this like poop festival in India. There's all this stuff that people have, yeah, they throw like poop around. Yeah, it's not good. Sorry. What? Well, I mean, well, now you're, now you're falling into the trap. It's not good folks. But it's a real thing. But basically, I want to, I don't, I'm sorry. I didn't know. It's a fend anybody. I'm just, I just, I've never heard of a poop festival.

33:52Yeah, I think you had to really dig it up, you know. And so but basically, yes, yes. And so they're really, there has been a real like social media activity of, I think of highlighting, you know, the least appealing aspects of Indian culture. And kind of being like, this is what Indian people are all like. And then there's also this element of people coming from India with H1V visas. And you have this, there's obviously a growing discontent among American software engineers as AI replaces them. And so there's this like larger backlash against H1V visas. There was a lot of immigration to Canada that I think produced a lot of negative stories that really got passed around American social media. And so this is kind of creating this sort of, and there's been a lot of Indian immigration to Dallas, which is like a real hub for conservative media. And it's obviously like, I think very important as an area within the GOP. And so I think this is created, particularly in Texas. This like real huge anti-Indian American backlash. Well, and it's kind of like, it crested with Dinesh to Susu and his daughter who's married to Brandon Gill, the congressman from Texas,

34:55who like very much has taken on this like white America's supreme type of position. And this is like, it kind of pains me because Harmeets the Dartmouth graduate, Brandon Gill's the Dartmouth graduate, Dinesh is the Dartmouth graduate, I'm a Dartmouth graduate. This is all kind of originating and emanating from hand over fucking New Hampshire. But like the Dinesh thing is kind of wild because they're sort of like not standing up for Indians. Yeah, I mean, there is definitely this sense of like, and we'll get into this, but basically of this sense of sort of like, oh, we're not like those those other Indians. Like there's in this blaze video, we'll talk about they say, well, Indians who immigrated before 2010 are cool. But basically as you said, I mean, this this has been bubbling for a while and it's being. What happened in 2010? You know, I don't quite, I don't quite understand what's arbitrary. Yeah, I think they're kind of like, you know, Dinesh to Susu, you're cool. Basically, like this, this has been bubbling for a while, particularly in Texas, like there's

35:57this one, like Hindu temple that's been built with the big statue of a Hindu god. And this is like outraged people in Texas, you know, because they're being racist and they're just mad about it. And so this obviously kind of hit the national discourse when both French who's running for railroads commissioner tweeted the Indian American kids at the UT game. And suddenly people were like, wait a minute, you know, this is like a politician who's saying like, it sucks that these brown kids are here at UT. It should be white kids, essentially. And so this is kind of vaulted. Yeah, essentially, it was like literally, yeah, it was just an absolute racist tweet. Yeah, it's pretty gross. I want to focus on, do we have the, I wish we had more on the Susu's explanation for like why, you know, yeah, I was just talking about this a little bit last week. And so the basically like he, you know, people were saying, well, Brandon Gil, you know, your wife is Indian because she's Dinesh to Susu's daughter. And Dinesh to Susu tweeted, well,

36:59actually, my wife is white. And so my daughter is half white, you know, and I mean, it's this kind of like, you know, we're, you know, we're not like, we're purifying ourselves as a family. Yeah. And so, so, so the latest thing from the, there's like this weird kind of like, how do we intellectualize? How do we synthesize this anti-Indian bigotry into the GOP in a way that is, that we find acceptable? And so the blaze, which has become much more extreme over the past few years, they have this show called Rufo and Lo-Mez. Now Rufo is Christopher Rufo, the anti-dei activist. He's the woke one on this show. Okay. He's the modern. Now then there's a guy named, whose screen name is Lo-Mez, his real name is Jonathan Keeperman. He runs Passage Press. Real false flagheads. Remember when I wrote about their book deal with raw egg nationalist following? I remember that one. Classic. So, if I do, there's one. So, so he's the, Passage Press publishes a lot of like fascist memoirs from World War II. I mean, he's like, basically, this kind of like cloaked racist guy. So, they had this episode over the weekend called

38:04the Indian question. Now, whenever you start talking about a group with the blank question, that's not a problem. Right. And so they're signed. They're trying to figure out how, how can we make it acceptable to be mad about Indian immigration in a way that, you know, allows for genetia Susan to be cool. So, and there's also like a lot of drama about Vivek Ramaswamy and his run his revenue in Ohio. So, let's play that clip if we have it because Keeperman kind of like he starts off and then he kind of just like gets on tilt by this point in the episode. And he's just like, bam, immigration. Yes. Maybe actually my desire to preserve homogeneity is just fine. It is just fine actually and it's good. And what I, even if there might be trade-offs and I might have to incur some costs for, you know, keeping some amount of immigrants out who are high skilled and might be a benefit to the economy, I like having a high trust society. I like living somewhere where there's cultural cohesion where I kind of have this unspoken affinity

39:07with my neighbors on a sort of ground level that relates to my values and everything else and so on and so forth. So, he's speaking there about like a hypothetical person but he's kind of representing, I think these are his own views. And so, this goes on for like an hour where he's just like crashing out about Indian immigration. And I think, and this has kind of created a lot of discussion around the the right wing intellectuals such as that were, you know, I think ultimately there is this attempt to say like he's like, let the moderate position is going to be like a ban on all Indian immigration for like 30 years. That was a pretty grotesque model. It's tweaking in that video by the way. Like he's that whole, the whole, the whole YouTube, I look, I had a sip of ice coffee but the whole video he's going, two, two, two, two, two, just popping some cans our deems off to the side drinking the, drinking the juice. That's pretty rancid stuff. I mean, you don't need to get into the details but you can in fact relate to people. That's like, that's not what folks. I mean, this is

40:08not like I went on stormfront to dig this up. Yeah, you can, I just want to let this kind of whoever he is that you can in fact relate and get along and coexist with people who are not your skin color. You might find out that they're very much like you. It is a little bit hard, I guess because you have prominent Indian Americans in the GOP now in a way that I can't recall prior. I mean, Ushavans obviously, Vivek Ramaswami running for governor of Ohio. You have harmy dillon. You have the disuses. So it's like, you know, they have to reconcile this a little bit more than they previously did. And then that whole H1BV is a thing that you mentioned where the tech community actually cares about these people for various reasons. And yeah, that's that was gross. That was kind of a nervering to watch that video. You mentioned BoFrench, who is running for a rural commission, which is actually a very big deal. It's like this huge, huge regulatory powers

41:12over the oil and gas industry in that post. And this is the guy's reminders. We'll said who tweeted out about how grossed out he was that there were brown students in the crowd at the UT game. You might be shocked to discover this, but K-File are good for an Andrew Kuzin's skill at CNN. Doug, into some deleted tweets and BoFrench wanted to publicly execute Obama. Can we put up one of these? All right, there it is. The penalty for trees in BoFrench wrote used to be death, even for a former president. This is his response to someone who says, the more until it's released, the clear becomes that Obama ran this entire thing. I'm assuming it's sort of deep state up. Deep state up. This was in 2020. So yeah, oh, good guy. Look, we don't condone violence. We don't think political violence is the answer. Republicans have said they condone calls for political violence too. I do not expect a single one of them to speak out. Maybe John Cornyn. Yeah, I think it's funny. I feel like every week K-File digs up a new call for execution.

42:16This is becoming kind of a standard. If he finds any politicians in Beirut, there's going to be a call for execution included there. I think the strategy at this point of your politician is not to delete the tweets, but to just compile them in one place and give them to Andrew Kuzinsky and just say here, you can have it. Get it out of the way. Just do it now. If you don't do it now, then I'm going to give it to someone else and you're going to lose a scoop. That's what I would do. Fire politician and I was fairly confident that I was going to win or something. My primary and it wasn't going to hurt me. I would just give my entire Twitter collection to Andrew and just say, buddy, you have three days to write a star in this. If you don't, I'm going to give it to someone else and you're not going to get the scoop. Let's just get it out of the way. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I should be in the consultant business. I got to run for this thing, but we have a couple minutes. Let me just close a loop on something. Unfortunately,

43:18Dan Skaviner does not follow that Q-Non person that we put up who wanted to talk about PIPPLE. It would have been really great if it doesn't mean he didn't see the tweet. It doesn't mean he didn't see the tweet, but we're going to be following this for sure. Any last thoughts will before we head for the doors? Yeah, it's a big week. Some far-right gripper types have taken over a dig for Noah's Ark in Turkey. So I may be writing about that as well. I know. See, you haven't heard this stuff. This is all fresh. They're in Turkey right now. Yeah. Digging? Yeah. It's a big thing. Why do they care? Because if you prove Noah's Ark was in Turkey, that's not good for Israel somehow. I mean, there's a flood. Yeah, you know, think it gone anywhere. Well, don't worry. I don't think the Ark is really there. But even if it were, do they understand how that works? They could just be drifting tons of animals on the thing. You never know. You've got to find land. It's been a bit of a bit of a fun. You might end up in Turkey. It happens. Doesn't mean Israel's bad.

44:24So yeah, so false flag coming tonight folks. All right, well, Summer, everyone's got to follow him. Everyone's got to subscribe to false flag. It's fantastic. It's the newsletter that we need, but probably don't want. Does that make sense? I can't watch that on the bad end. It's probably right. If you're not following that, you should. If you're not following us on YouTube, you got to subscribe to that too because we're here every Monday. For Maga Monday's, we apologize again. We're not starting at 10 a.m. We had to move this up an hour for scheduling conflicts, but we figured it was better to do this than skip it entirely because we love our audience. All right, folks. Have a great week. We'll take care, buddy. Thanks, everyone. Bye.
