But what happened last week when theytook a shot and my hero and they
tried to kill the next president ofthe United States. Enough blaws, enough
a sad love Tupamania, run brotherlove crop Omania, rule again, Clopamania,
(00:27):
lay love right again, because whatyou're gonna do brother when trump a
Mania runs wild on you? That'sright, Ryan schuling back with you six
point thirty k How that was HulkCogan, the hero of my childhood growing
up in the eighties as a genxer watching what was then called the WWF.
The guy who joins me next,well, he's a millennial, so
(00:47):
he probably knows it as the WWEand he probably remembers Hulk Cogan from the
nWo. Saraj Hashmi, you canfollow him on x at saraj A.
The A stands were awesome, Hashmih a s h m I he's with
us now, Saraj Welcome back,my man. Mandy. You need to
know your role and shut your mouth. Know your role. JR. BRONI,
(01:11):
what did you think of that?Was that a needed element in a
Republican party, Saraj that I thinkover the many decades has been viewed as
like starched collars, stiff, kindof old school stick in the mud.
What did you think of the conventionat large and Hulkcain in particular. I
think this might have been the greatestGOV convention that they've ever held, because,
for one, it shows that theGOP has captured the culture and is
(01:38):
winning the culture war. It's nolonger about fighting it. They're actually showing
gains by the types of people thatthey're bringing onto stage and the authenticity from
which they are speaking because a lotof these people admit that they relied to
a Barrowe's perfect example. She wasone of these celebrities who, you know,
not really considered to be like,you know, like a political stage,
(02:02):
but she just like got up onstages like, look, I was
wrong about the guy. And Ithink it's important that everybody else knows that
they're being lied to by the corporatemedia and that you know, what do
you actually think she is? Youknow, she's not like, you know,
by any stretch of the mean,considered like a cookie cutter conservative.
(02:23):
But the fact that like they're expandingthe dates like that, I think shows
incredible games. And on top ofthat, like the fact that it was
just so like it added a levelof entertainment that they've never had at a
GOP convention. He really can't findany other convention that the GOP has had
in the past where everyone was unitedbehind such a sort of captivating and energizing
(02:50):
an electric candidate. And while Trumphas, you know, like his rhetoric
may have tamped down a bit becauseof the assassination tent, and everybody was
sort of waiting to see what hewould have to say, and you know,
his experience, like everything leading upto that, it was just you
know, it was a crescendo ofand it just at the ending was will
Some people started complaining about how longthe speech was. I think it was
(03:14):
a play on two ways. Oneis that he did Trump spoke as long
as he did because he knows thatBiden cannot go that long. And two,
his speech in Butler, Pennsylvania wascut short, so he was making
up for lost time exactly, Saraj, And of course he is podcast I
believe you're on hiatus. You weretelling me because you got duties as a
(03:37):
father now. And although I'm enjoyingmaybe yeah you do, but you got
the you know, the banter onlinestill with Jay and I'm going to get
to some of that in just amoment. But are their plans to reignite
the podcast at some point, Yeah, I think. I think what we're
planning on doing is, uh,we're going to probably start back up in
(03:57):
the fall. I'm not exactly sure, but I think we're probably going to
switch back to doing one day aweek because Jay and I have gotten so
busy with our own schedules that wecan't we just can't do it at the
same rate as we have. Butthe very least, if we do it
once a week, we'll get backinto a high quality, you know,
broadcast, and I think it'll makeup for you know, a lot of
(04:19):
time hopefully. And in the meantimeyou can follow them on Rumble Habidi Bros.
Just search for them there. It'shilarious content. Even the stuff that's
been put up within the last coupleof months still has some resonation and a
lot has changed obviously, Siah.I mean just think back to one week
ago today. This was prior tothe Trump assassination attempt, to the Republican
(04:41):
Convention, to the ramped up effortsto oust Biden out. I mean,
we've lived about a year's worth ofpolitical news cycle in one week. It's
honestly. So here's another thing Iwant to say about Trump and the uf
you Convention. I think Trump ismaking politics more fun again. And can
tell by how the corporate media isresponding to Trump that they missed this,
(05:04):
they missed this aspect of politics.And to your question, the fact that
we've you know, in the lastweek, we've had like a whole year's
worth of news like that is thatis what it was like during the Trump
years, Like you'd be like,holy crap, we've spent the last last
week was a was a year,Like that's how That's how chaotic things were.
(05:28):
But at the same time, itkind of goes to show you that,
like the the way that Trump,you know, it almost seems inevitable
day's going to win, right,you know, the Democrats have to cheat
even more than they did in twentytwenty to make up for sort of the
losses that they've they've suffered, uh, in the last I don't know,
a week, few weeks because ofthe Biden debate performance. You know,
(05:51):
they really have to figure out away to get their head you know on
right, everyone's pushing a moth withdollar course, but it's one of those
things where you know they he canonly do so much. It feels like
it's you know, doctor Jill andHunter are kind of the only ones who
are really digging their their feet inthe trenches and you know, stopping this
(06:12):
onslaught of people trying to get himto step off the ticket. Saraj Hashmi
my guest, and you can followhim on x at sarag A Hashmi.
That's Si r A j letter ah A s h M. I now
to your point that you've been making. You know, I'm a bit older
than you, but I can barelyremember the nineteen eighty four convention. Were
talking forty years ago, and Ithink that's the last time there was this
(06:33):
kind of energy, at least onthe GOP side. Around one candidate galvanized
against Ronald Reagan and that was nosurprise there. But here's what Van Jones
had to say CNN. And Ilike Van because although I disagree with him,
he's an honest broker, he's astraight shooter. He tells you what
he thinks. And this is whathe thought of the convention last night.
This spirit that this guy has theguy think this guys, he's drunk,
(06:55):
He's not. This thing is likethis and hey on the pay guys.
The last time I was in acommision that belt like this was Obama two
thousand and eight. You know,there's something happening where a headline. You
just read a headline, just likeObama, And just like Obama, Trump
is showing in this convention that hehas the capacities alter the composition of the
(07:20):
electorate. He's right, that's ScottJennings at the end. I'll give you
a jumping off point here, Saraj. But the part that stood out to
me, along with what Van Jonessaid, was the immediate reaction of his
female co panelist, was you justset a headline. You just helped Trump.
What did you think about that?I actually was thinking that in the
middle of Trump's speech, as likeTrump has reached Obama two thousand eight territory,
(07:41):
like the year inevitability, how galvanizing, Like that speech that Obama made
at in Denver in two thousand andeight, Like that still leaves an imprint
on me because that was the firsttime I probably really you know, started
absorbing like convention speeches, and thatwas was just like for me, when
(08:01):
I was a young live of courseI've evolved and you know, matured since
then. That was something that likeyou you know, you don't forget,
you know, you remember, likethe speech that Obama gave in Germany the
spec after he was he won thetwo thousand and eight election, like these
are all it's just the inevitability ofTrump and the fact that he is a
(08:26):
week after, almost a week afterhe was assassinated, almost assassinated. It
was. It was one of thosethings where you couldn't time a convention yet
even he could not time a conventionbetther than this, Like I mean,
Thomas Matthew Crooks obviously should have nevertaken a shot at Trump or any politician,
(08:50):
and he certainly shouldn't have killed CoreyComparatory and and the two other uh
individuals who are in the crowd whogot severely injured. But you look at
this and it went from being i'dsay, pretty late likely Trump victory to
like a sure bet, like Idon't know if you're going to have a
(09:13):
more dominant victory by Trump in November, of course, like yeah, the
botes actually have to come in andwe'll see what happens. But he's pretty
much. I feel like it's nineteeneighty four. Yeah, Reagan territory.
That's definitely what it feels like.Saraj Hashmian my guest, and you said
inevitability. I think that's a keyword here, and it does have that
field. Van Jones would agree withyou, based on two thousand and eight
(09:33):
Obama. The other term I keephearing lately, Saraj is vibe shift,
and that happens not just in avacuum or not just isolated to post assassination,
everything that follows the convention itself.But how about this, This one
had my jaw on the floor.You remember Zuckerbucks and chasing ballots and harvesting
(09:54):
and making sure that the Democrats hadtheir turnout efforts. Here's Mark zuck Berg
talking about the twenty twenty four electionand Trump's response to his new assassination.
I've done some stuff personally in thepast. I'm not planning on doing that
this time. And then includes youknow, not endorsing either of the candidates.
Now, look, I mean there'sobviously a lot of crazy stuff going
(10:16):
on in the world. I meanthe historic events over the last like over
the weekend, and I mean ona personal note, it's yeah, I
mean, seeing Donald Trump get getup after getting shot in the face and
pump his fist in the air withthe American flag is one of the most
badass things I've ever seen in mylife. But look, I mean it's
(10:39):
you know, as and I thinklooks at some level as an American,
it's like hard to not get kindof emotional about that spirit and that fight.
And I think that that's why alot of people like the guy.
This is where I come in saurageis while he says he's not endorsing,
what I just heard was pretty muchan endorsement. Sean O'Brien, Teamster's same
thing. Media trying to shut downthat iconic photo that Mark Zuckerberg's talking about
(11:03):
because they know how much that helpsTrump. What do you make of what
Zuckerberg said right there? So onethe Trump photo might be the most iconic
moment in American politics, and Ithink, at least in my lifetime,
it's not. It's not possibly Ever, I'd say that the vibe has definitely
(11:24):
shifted. The one thing I wantedto say is that, and I said
this on Twitter X, is thatthat assassination attempt completely eroded a social taboo
of being a Trump supporter. Nowpeople don't care if they you know,
say they if their friends and familyor the colleagues at or know that they
support Trump, like the guy nearlylost his life. And I think at
(11:46):
this point, and Trump made agreat point during the speech, He's like,
you know, your people to saythey're to stop, maggot, Like
what you what is then to stop? Like you're trying to make America great
again? But you don't want Americato be great again? Like what's the
what's the pushback that like your dealat this point, like you can it's
not like saying that, oh I'ma Trump supporter, so why it's be
(12:09):
like wait, you don't support Trump? Why? Yeah, Like what's wrong
with you? Like I think that'swhere the vidor shift is, Like you
come to the point where like I'mI'm honestly questioning a lot of my friends
who are like still getting back intolike the twenty sixteen to twenty twenty is
I think Trump's going to become adictator? Like do you not realize that
Biden is using the step down andtake it off out of the running,
(12:31):
because that's exactly what a dictator doeslike, I'm sorry, did you not
get the memo? Have you haveyou had your head in the stand for
the last month, like this isthis is a legit thing that people are
talking about and they want to actlike Trump is always going to be the
dictator. The fact though, andjust countering what you said, there's both
sides of this on the democratic side, Saraje, which is, yeah,
(12:54):
you could say Biden's not going toleave and he's going to stay in power,
and that's what a dictator would do. But people who would subvert democracy
in order to save democracy, that'swhat the Dems and the power elites are
trying to do. They went througha primary. The Democratic voters, fourteen
million of them picked Joe Biden andthe dictators from on hire. So no,
no, no, no, no, we don't like that choice.
(13:16):
This one's probably gonna lose. Sowe're going to tell you who are candidate's
going to be. So again they'retelling us we need to subvert democracy to
save democracy. How can that besold? It's a great uh. You
know. This is the problem thatthe Democrats have run into is that they
now have completely lost the plot withmessaging like they never they can no longer
(13:37):
say that Trump is a threat todemocracy when Biden has been the biggest threat
to it while he's been in office, like the fact that he's then persecuting
and prosecuting his political opponents. Peteinvolved just getting out of jail, Donald
Trump getting convicted on a bogus AlvinBragg caase, I mean, this is
all things that when you look atit, when you look at the history,
(14:01):
or no federal prosecutors to take upa Stormy Daniels howsh money payment case,
you're starting to think to yourself,well, maybe this is all Maybe
all of this is politically motivated,and the Democrats have sold a bill of
dad goods to the American public thatthey seem to be like these canons of
democracy and you know, preserving institutions, but what they're preserving is rotten to
(14:24):
the core. There's no such thingas justice in America anymore. There's no
this thing as rule of law.All this stuff is just a figment of
your imagination. And the Democrats wantto play up like they're the ones who
are, you know, morally superior. All of them are morally bankrupt.
Saraj Hashmi my guest, I wantto break this down a little further and
get a little personal with you,Saraj, because when I'm hearing from you,
(14:48):
I mean the vide shift we keepthinking about. Let's go back to
that we heard from Mark Zuckerberg postassassination. We saw Elon Musk as soon
as that happened, I strongly endorsedthis man. He's throwing like twenty eight
million a month kind of harvest ballots. All of a sudden, He's come
out of the woodwork. Hul Kovinsaid, I didn't want to get involved
politically when that happened. I'm magaall the way. I'm Trump vance.
(15:09):
I'm ripping the shirt off on thestage you've always been. I would say,
I don't know, kind of atepid Trump supporter, perhaps voter,
etc. Maybe you vote for maybeyou don't. You kind of tried to
come at it from an equal opportunitystandpoint. What I'm hearing from you right
now, Sir Roger, you're prettymuch maga all the way, Like going
to crawl over broken glass to votefor Trump? Do I have that right?
(15:31):
Uh? Oh yeah no, Imake no mo votes about it at
this point, Like, given whatoptions we have, like you. You're
either voting Trump or you're wrong,like there's no other, Like it is
a binary choice. And like thefact that the people who are still trying
to push by them down our throats, it kind of goes to show you
(15:52):
just how much they care about cleaningthe power. Trump doesn't need this,
Dana White said the last night,Trump very you know, plush and convenient
and luxurious lifestyle before he got intopolitics, and then all of a sudden
all his friends turn on them.Who needs that, right, So why
would you go through it for anotherliterally a third time and put yourself,
(16:15):
put yourself and your family through allof that and nearly die as well.
Like at that point, it reallystarts to open your eyes that you know,
a lot of these things that you'reseeing about you know, people reporting
about Trump or how they report onhim, and that he's like, you
know, only cares about himself.Like I don't know, I don't know
if I buy that argument anymore.I don't know if I buy that story
or that narrative that he's all init for himself, like maybe he's running
(16:38):
to keep himself out of prison.But like at the same time, all
these things again thrown out. Theclassified documents case was thrown out because Jack
Smith was his appointment was not constitutional. It's you're starting to realize that the
entire house of cars that the Democratshave built, it's all falling apart.
And I think it's really important.I think it's a morally correct position.
(16:59):
He even if you don't like Trumppersonally, like you don't think he's a
good person, you realize that yourlife was so much better with him in
office than with him out of this. We're coming up on what we got,
especially what we got now, SarajhHashmie our guest. Now, Sarah,
we're coming up on a break herein about a minute and a half.
Do you have time to stay withme for another segment after that break?
Okay, before we go to breakthough this pressure campaign and this kind
(17:22):
of wish casting that we're seeing Markhalprin Newsmax, that Pelosi, Obama,
some of these other prominent Democrats they'retrying to push Joe Biden off the train
basically, but out of this racefor sure. And it seems like,
especially if that pressure comes from Obama, that that's personal for Joe Biden.
He's gonna buckle down. He's gonnadig in even deeper. I have no
(17:45):
idea how this is going to playout, but I think Joe Biden's instincts
based on the person we know heis, and I saw some a posts
by both you and Jay that Icompletely agree with. He is a bad
person. He's not a good guy. So this is all the sweet old
man. He is a bad guyand he has been for fifty years.
Do you think he bows out ofthis race under any condition? I don't
think he does. No, No, he doesn't. He also doesn't resign
(18:07):
because again Nixon seventy two. Hecan't can't let something like that happen.
He cannot resign in the middle ofhis presidency. But we all know that
he doesn't have the cognitive function tonot only just befo as Ustio run for
reelection. But you know, it'ssurprising that he even remembers that given an
effect. He doesn't remember anything.I'm just projecting, right, Saraj is
(18:33):
going to hang with us through abreak here. When we come back,
we'll have him give his take onour five nominees for our Friday Fool of
the Week. So roj hash memy guests for this second hour, Ryan
schuling back with you after this timeout, stick and stay keep it locked in

them online, Master Router dot Plumbing. Start there Master Router Dot Plumbing for
Master Services and tell them Ryan sentyou for me. I have a lot
(20:02):
of faith in the American people,and I don't know very many men who
want to be talked to the waythat this man has been talking to men
in his audience. I don't knowany women, and I know his grandchild
was up on the thing, andthey're trying to humanize them and change your
idea about who this guy is.Don't fall for that, aus Wlipopie Goldberg
(20:25):
of view. Keep believing in theOrange Hitler myth. We need you to.
We can't afford to have him win. She is one of five nominees
for our Friday Fool of the Week. He's no fool, but he's hanging
over with me, so maybe heis. Saraj Hashmi training me. I'm
going to have you break each ofthese five down, just your quick reaction
to each one, Sarage. Whathe had to say there, What does
(20:45):
it tell you? It tells methat she's actually never spoken to a man
in her life to a man orthe man meaning Trump, any man?
Are you talking about the partner?She said, No, man wants to
be spoken to the that Trump speaksto us. Yeah, I found that
odd, Like what are you talkingabout? Yeah, no, I have
no idea what you're talking about.And but you know what that's that's that's
(21:06):
kind of what uh the lesson theseDemocrats are doing like that, almost all
of them have just regressed into thisblue and non territory where they they just
can't accept reality. And so whenthey can't accept reality, they start creating
their own reality. And that's thereality that they're living in. So they
don't actually think Trump was actually shotat or that he had a bullet go
(21:26):
through his ear. They think,oh, there was a piece of glass.
And if even the Secret Service toldeveryone that was a piece it was
a bullet, it'll be like Ineed adopted to tell me that. Oh,
I'll trust you. It's almost likeyou saw my show prep right in
front of you, Saraj, Becausewe're gonna go to candidate number two.
We go from Whipopie Goldberg to theformer chair of the Republican Party, Michael
(21:47):
Steele MSNBC two. Sarajs point whereI am at this point is it's been
three days going all four since thishorrific event occurred on the person lost their
life, to have been severely injured. Yeah, we've i received a medical
report from the hospital, nor havewe received a medical report from the campaign
or from the Trump organization about theextent of the damage to his ear.
(22:10):
If he was shot by a highcaliber bullet, there should probably be very
little ear there, and so we'dlike to know that is there cosmic metic
surgery involved? What is the proagnosisfor recovery? Were their stitches? What
is the extent in nature of thedamage to his ear? Was it caused
by a bullet as opposed to ussome reports from those on the scene,
(22:33):
other reporters saying that it was actuallyshards of glass from the teleprompter itself,
not the bullets. Surig when didMichael Steel become either a ballistics and or
ear expert. It's funny. Itis like Michael still off camera, is
like one of the nicest guys ever, and it's just so fascinating to see
how his mind has sort of,you know, gone down the trail by
(22:56):
hanging around the MSNBC type and It'sfast to me because like, I wish
they would have that kind of energyover these last three and a half years
over Joe Biden's cognitive decline, andthey're expressing for this medical report that you
know they're they're not even entitled tohave. I mean, who cares At
this point. Trump survived. Hewe clearly didn't see any cognitive decline when
(23:21):
he was at when he was givinga speech at the R and C last
night. So I mean, whatmore do you really want at this point?
Like, yeah, like someone losttheir life like that, that should
tell you everything right there that itwas in stage, Like, I mean,
how are we how are we gettingeven into this territory? It's a
great question. And to turn toan expert for the compare and contrast between
(23:44):
Trump and Biden and what they're goingthrough. I'm going to turn to Joy
Read MSNBC. She compares Trump gettingshot at and almost assassinated to Biden getting
COVID. Here's a question that Ihave on that these two men are both
elderly. Donald Trump is an elderlyman who, for whatever reason, was
given nine seconds to take a iconicphoto op during an active shooter situation.
(24:07):
Weird situation. We'll figure that outone day. But his survival of that
and bouncing right back and going rightto his convention is being conveyed in the
media world as a sin of string. This current president of the United States
is eighty one years old and hasCOVID. Should he be fine in a
couple of days? Doesn't that conveyexactly the same thing that he's strong enough
(24:30):
older than Trump to have gotten somethingthat used to really be fatal to people
his age. So if he doesfine out of it and comes back and
is able to do rallies, isn'tthat exactly the same? I mean,
it's not exactly the same, it'snot same incident, but it's an elderly
man coming through out of an illa. It should sarage. I know that
(24:51):
MSNBC's audiences are small, but theirIQs must also be small unless they enjoy
being treated like idiots. But youknow it's funny. I can't imagine the
type of person who sits and watchesthat all day and thinks, yes,
I need more of this, Pleasegive me more. It's one of those
(25:12):
things where like you have, likeanyone with two brain cells would see that
these people are completely off the rocker, like they're just there's just no you
can't like I can't even develop theright words the responses. I almost feel
like I'm suffering from Joe Biden brainright now because I can't figure out how
to respond to joy Ree's comments,Like it's bad, insane, it's patently
(25:34):
crazy. And the fact that they'regoing these lengths like just shows you how
much they're they can't cope with this, off with all of this, Like,
yeah, maybe Biden getting COVID ateighty one is not a great thing
and potentially fatal, but that alsogoes to show you that, hey,
if if COVID at this stage couldkill the president of the United States,
(25:57):
then he shouldn't have been president.There it is arriving at a logical square
from a joy read comment. Welldone, Saraj Hashmi, our guest,
your votes on our Friday Fool ofthe Week. We just have three nominees.
We got two to go, Saraj. Quick question, are you a
fan of Lord of the Rings?I am, and you're a right way.
(26:21):
I was just gonna say that totell you everything. You know,
all right, here's Rachel Maddow expandingon that theory, like mister Teal,
who has named his companies after thingsin the Lord of the Rings series of
J. J. R. R. Tolkien books. Lord of the Rings
is a sort of favorite cosmos fornaming things and cultural references for a lot
of far right and alt right figures, both in Europe and the United States.
(26:44):
Peter Tiele names all the things afterTolkien figures and places, like his
company Pallanteer for example, like hismentor, like Peter Teele, who had
given him all his jobs in theworld. Mister Vance also, when he
founded his own venture capital firm withhelp from Peter Teele, aimed it after
a Lord of the Rings thing.He called it Naria nar Ya, which
(27:04):
you can remember because it's Aryan,but you move the end to the front.
Apparently that word has something to dowith elves and rings from the Lord
of the Rings series. I don't. Yeah, little known fact too,
Saraj Robert Plant led Zeppelin far rightconspiracy theorists because of his writings about Mortar
and Gollum, et cetera. InRambalan. Yeah, it's one of those
(27:25):
things where like if you remember,after Trump was one to twenty sixteen election,
everyone started referring to like all hiscritics, particularly the resistance, to
refer to those Voldemort, and theyall made it all these like analogies Harry
Potter, and he came to thepoint where it's like, well, read
another book, like, okay,so you're making all these conjectures about Lord
(27:45):
of the Rings. Okay, soread another book, like it's not even.
But it's not even. The writingis bringing this up. It's all
the Left. It's mad of like, no, I wouldn't have known that
unless them ASNBC said something about it. Nope, not at all. And
the final one here, Suraj Hashmi, he's going to be judging our five
contestants, Alex Wagner. She isweaving in the conspiracy theories of white supremacy
(28:08):
and whiteness and misogyny. And it'sall JD. Vance because of his burial
plots in eastern Kentucky. But inAmerica, doesn't always have to be the
white male lineage that Trump's that definesthe family history, that that branch of
the tree supersedes all else. AndI just think the construction of this notion
(28:29):
reveals a lot about someone who fundamentallybelieves in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity,
and it's couched in a sort ofhalcion, you know, revisitation of
his roots. But it is actuallyreally revealing about what he thinks matters and
who America is, and that Americais a place for people where he shared
Western background, and that is theidea of America, that is the nation
(28:52):
of America that he wants to ResurrectrojerI think you really unlocked this for the
typical MSNBC viewer, because this isparalysis by analysis. All of what she
just said was gobbledegook. I ama white man that lives in this country.
I've never thought about the things she'stalking about. I don't consider them
in anything I do, but shethinks that I do. Yeah, it's
one of those things where like,look, I am by no stress considered
(29:15):
like a white person. I ambiracial. But even then, like,
I do not think about this stuffall the time. You want to know
why, because I'm not a victim. And that's that's what these people do.
They're always stuck in the victim mentality, and so they always think,
oh, woe is me? Howis the world oppressing me today? Get
not about that mindset. You're notgonna go anywhere with that mindset. That's
(29:37):
all. It's all just an excuse. It's a coping mechanism to basically say,
oh, I gave up on life, so you should too. Final
question this from a Texter out there. Sarag He asked, does your guest
have a sister that works for FoxNews? If so, she's a very
beautiful woman. Is he a veryhandsome guy? That's Jared and Boulder.
(29:57):
He's referring, of course, toAisha Hashni, but she I looked it
up. She's also from Pakistan,like your origin there, Sarage, Oh,
there's no relation. And also hersit's Hasni Hashmi. So I mean,
it's funny. I thought of I'vebeen asked that question before if there
(30:18):
was any relation, But they seethe spelling of our two last names and
they're like, oh, yeah,it's not the same, more like a
slant rhymeal Saraj, he've been verymuch. It's one of those things where
like if we were related, that'dbe cool. I actually found out I
was related to other people that youknow by like you know, a second
cousin or something like that. Ancestrydot Com do the spit test for the

but Noah's Kelly. I give Kellyall the credit, give it total
and full credit. Okay, thisone, Mandy, Oh, I get
it. Somebody's pulling the sarage unlessthat is sorry. Now that's not sorry.
I'm going with Michael Steele for callinga five point five six millimeter slash
(32:52):
two twenty three bullet high caliber.If you would have said high velocity,
then he would have been correct.And you are correct, Texter, So
thanks for clearing that up for us. I love to see the left imploating.
They've had their way for so long. Biden isn't going anywhere. He
truly believes no one but him canbeat Trump. Yeah, Gary, And
what made him think that? Oh, the entire apparatus designed to prop him
(33:15):
up. They are all telling himhe's doing a great job. They're all
telling him that he's totally saying andlucid. He's been fed this bull crap
from everybody around him until that circlegot smaller and smaller. And that's what
they are sewing, and that's whatthey are reaping. Got a lot of
votes here. I want to getto a couple other texts. Kimberly ooh
(33:37):
yes, snipping to a slim gym. Yeah, mucho madness, Randy Savage
ge rip, but hul Cogan wasthere and that's got to be good enough.
Erica says, another mix of reallyhard choices. I have to vote
for Joy Reed as fool of theWeek. And I got to tell you
that's kind of the consensus here,Kelly. Isn't that our winner for today?
(34:00):
It is? It wasn't close.And let's again hear why here's Joy
read congratulations are Friday Fool Week.Here's the question that I have on that
these two men are both elderly.Donald Trump is an elderly man who,
for whatever reason, was given nineseconds to take a iconic photo op during
(34:20):
an active shooter. The situation weirdsituation. We'll figure that out one day.
But his survival of that and bouncingright back and going right to his
convention is being conveyed in the mediaworld as a sign of string. This
current president of the United States iseighty one years old and has COVID.
Should he be fine in a coupleof days? Doesn't that convey exactly the
(34:44):
same thing that he's strong enough olderthan Trump to have gotten something that used
to really be fatal to people hisage. So if he does fine out
of it and comes back and isable to do rallies, isn't that exactly
the same. No, though itis not exactly the same. Joy Rey,
I mean, I just love thesepeople too, who look, they
look down on us. Oh,they think to test us. We're the
(35:07):
incorrigibles, We're the deplorables. We'rein a basket. You were smelly people
that go to Walmart. We're inflyover country. They don't have a use
for us except when they can goto Aspen or Vail and they'll stop by
here. But they don't want tostay here. They don't want to stay
with color Roddens. You're kidding me. Oh my god, we're beneath them.
Once we've figured out the solution tothat puzzle. They're in trouble.
(35:28):
And I'm telling you they're in troublewhere I come from too, in the
Upper Midwest. They cannot relate tothose people, to my people, to
who I am. I mean,there's a reason you heard it from Saraj
with his passion as well, peoplelike myself and him that might might have
been considered center right at some point. Uh Uh, I am full blown
maga make America great again. Okay, I am Orange Tan. You can
(35:50):
spray me. I am gonna notonly crawl over glass to vote for Donald
Trump. Broken glass at that,not the broken glass the Michael Steele thinks
hit him. But I would literallyClint Eastwood in the line of fire for
Donald Trump. Right now, That'swhere I'm at. I know that's where
a lot of you are at too. Stay tuned. The Dan Camplas Show
is next.
But what happened last week when theytook a shot and my hero and they
tried to kill the next president ofthe United States. Enough blaws, enough
a sad love Tupamania, run brotherlove crop Omania, rule again, Clopamania,
(00:27):
lay love right again, because whatyou're gonna do brother when trump a
Mania runs wild on you? That'sright, Ryan schuling back with you six
point thirty k How that was HulkCogan, the hero of my childhood growing
up in the eighties as a genxer watching what was then called the WWF.
The guy who joins me next,well, he's a millennial, so
(00:47):
he probably knows it as the WWEand he probably remembers Hulk Cogan from the
nWo. Saraj Hashmi, you canfollow him on x at saraj A.
The A stands were awesome, Hashmih a s h m I he's with
us now, Saraj Welcome back,my man. Mandy. You need to
know your role and shut your mouth. Know your role. JR. BRONI,
(01:11):
what did you think of that?Was that a needed element in a
Republican party, Saraj that I thinkover the many decades has been viewed as
like starched collars, stiff, kindof old school stick in the mud.
What did you think of the conventionat large and Hulkcain in particular. I
think this might have been the greatestGOV convention that they've ever held, because,
for one, it shows that theGOP has captured the culture and is
(01:38):
winning the culture war. It's nolonger about fighting it. They're actually showing
gains by the types of people thatthey're bringing onto stage and the authenticity from
which they are speaking because a lotof these people admit that they relied to
a Barrowe's perfect example. She wasone of these celebrities who, you know,
not really considered to be like,you know, like a political stage,
(02:02):
but she just like got up onstages like, look, I was
wrong about the guy. And Ithink it's important that everybody else knows that
they're being lied to by the corporatemedia and that you know, what do
you actually think she is? Youknow, she's not like, you know,
by any stretch of the mean,considered like a cookie cutter conservative.
(02:23):
But the fact that like they're expandingthe dates like that, I think shows
incredible games. And on top ofthat, like the fact that it was
just so like it added a levelof entertainment that they've never had at a
GOP convention. He really can't findany other convention that the GOP has had
in the past where everyone was unitedbehind such a sort of captivating and energizing
(02:50):
an electric candidate. And while Trumphas, you know, like his rhetoric
may have tamped down a bit becauseof the assassination tent, and everybody was
sort of waiting to see what hewould have to say, and you know,
his experience, like everything leading upto that, it was just you
know, it was a crescendo ofand it just at the ending was will
Some people started complaining about how longthe speech was. I think it was
(03:14):
a play on two ways. Oneis that he did Trump spoke as long
as he did because he knows thatBiden cannot go that long. And two,
his speech in Butler, Pennsylvania wascut short, so he was making
up for lost time exactly, Saraj, And of course he is podcast I
believe you're on hiatus. You weretelling me because you got duties as a
(03:37):
father now. And although I'm enjoyingmaybe yeah you do, but you got
the you know, the banter onlinestill with Jay and I'm going to get
to some of that in just amoment. But are their plans to reignite
the podcast at some point, Yeah, I think. I think what we're
planning on doing is, uh,we're going to probably start back up in
(03:57):
the fall. I'm not exactly sure, but I think we're probably going to
switch back to doing one day aweek because Jay and I have gotten so
busy with our own schedules that wecan't we just can't do it at the
same rate as we have. Butthe very least, if we do it
once a week, we'll get backinto a high quality, you know,
broadcast, and I think it'll makeup for you know, a lot of
(04:19):
time hopefully. And in the meantimeyou can follow them on Rumble Habidi Bros.
Just search for them there. It'shilarious content. Even the stuff that's
been put up within the last coupleof months still has some resonation and a
lot has changed obviously, Siah.I mean just think back to one week
ago today. This was prior tothe Trump assassination attempt, to the Republican
(04:41):
Convention, to the ramped up effortsto oust Biden out. I mean,
we've lived about a year's worth ofpolitical news cycle in one week. It's
honestly. So here's another thing Iwant to say about Trump and the uf
you Convention. I think Trump ismaking politics more fun again. And can
tell by how the corporate media isresponding to Trump that they missed this,
(05:04):
they missed this aspect of politics.And to your question, the fact that
we've you know, in the lastweek, we've had like a whole year's
worth of news like that is thatis what it was like during the Trump
years, Like you'd be like,holy crap, we've spent the last last
week was a was a year,Like that's how That's how chaotic things were.
(05:28):
But at the same time, itkind of goes to show you that,
like the the way that Trump,you know, it almost seems inevitable
day's going to win, right,you know, the Democrats have to cheat
even more than they did in twentytwenty to make up for sort of the
losses that they've they've suffered, uh, in the last I don't know,
a week, few weeks because ofthe Biden debate performance. You know,
(05:51):
they really have to figure out away to get their head you know on
right, everyone's pushing a moth withdollar course, but it's one of those
things where you know they he canonly do so much. It feels like
it's you know, doctor Jill andHunter are kind of the only ones who
are really digging their their feet inthe trenches and you know, stopping this
(06:12):
onslaught of people trying to get himto step off the ticket. Saraj Hashmi
my guest, and you can followhim on x at sarag A Hashmi.
That's Si r A j letter ah A s h M. I now
to your point that you've been making. You know, I'm a bit older
than you, but I can barelyremember the nineteen eighty four convention. Were
talking forty years ago, and Ithink that's the last time there was this
(06:33):
kind of energy, at least onthe GOP side. Around one candidate galvanized
against Ronald Reagan and that was nosurprise there. But here's what Van Jones
had to say CNN. And Ilike Van because although I disagree with him,
he's an honest broker, he's astraight shooter. He tells you what
he thinks. And this is whathe thought of the convention last night.
This spirit that this guy has theguy think this guys, he's drunk,
(06:55):
He's not. This thing is likethis and hey on the pay guys.
The last time I was in acommision that belt like this was Obama two
thousand and eight. You know,there's something happening where a headline. You
just read a headline, just likeObama, And just like Obama, Trump
is showing in this convention that hehas the capacities alter the composition of the
(07:20):
electorate. He's right, that's ScottJennings at the end. I'll give you
a jumping off point here, Saraj. But the part that stood out to
me, along with what Van Jonessaid, was the immediate reaction of his
female co panelist, was you justset a headline. You just helped Trump.
What did you think about that?I actually was thinking that in the
middle of Trump's speech, as likeTrump has reached Obama two thousand eight territory,
(07:41):
like the year inevitability, how galvanizing, Like that speech that Obama made
at in Denver in two thousand andeight, Like that still leaves an imprint
on me because that was the firsttime I probably really you know, started
absorbing like convention speeches, and thatwas was just like for me, when
(08:01):
I was a young live of courseI've evolved and you know, matured since
then. That was something that likeyou you know, you don't forget,
you know, you remember, likethe speech that Obama gave in Germany the
spec after he was he won thetwo thousand and eight election, like these
are all it's just the inevitability ofTrump and the fact that he is a
(08:26):
week after, almost a week afterhe was assassinated, almost assassinated. It
was. It was one of thosethings where you couldn't time a convention yet
even he could not time a conventionbetther than this, Like I mean,
Thomas Matthew Crooks obviously should have nevertaken a shot at Trump or any politician,
(08:50):
and he certainly shouldn't have killed CoreyComparatory and and the two other uh
individuals who are in the crowd whogot severely injured. But you look at
this and it went from being i'dsay, pretty late likely Trump victory to
like a sure bet, like Idon't know if you're going to have a
(09:13):
more dominant victory by Trump in November, of course, like yeah, the
botes actually have to come in andwe'll see what happens. But he's pretty
much. I feel like it's nineteeneighty four. Yeah, Reagan territory.
That's definitely what it feels like.Saraj Hashmian my guest, and you said
inevitability. I think that's a keyword here, and it does have that
field. Van Jones would agree withyou, based on two thousand and eight
(09:33):
Obama. The other term I keephearing lately, Saraj is vibe shift,
and that happens not just in avacuum or not just isolated to post assassination,
everything that follows the convention itself.But how about this, This one
had my jaw on the floor.You remember Zuckerbucks and chasing ballots and harvesting
(09:54):
and making sure that the Democrats hadtheir turnout efforts. Here's Mark zuck Berg
talking about the twenty twenty four electionand Trump's response to his new assassination.
I've done some stuff personally in thepast. I'm not planning on doing that
this time. And then includes youknow, not endorsing either of the candidates.
Now, look, I mean there'sobviously a lot of crazy stuff going
(10:16):
on in the world. I meanthe historic events over the last like over
the weekend, and I mean ona personal note, it's yeah, I
mean, seeing Donald Trump get getup after getting shot in the face and
pump his fist in the air withthe American flag is one of the most
badass things I've ever seen in mylife. But look, I mean it's
(10:39):
you know, as and I thinklooks at some level as an American,
it's like hard to not get kindof emotional about that spirit and that fight.
And I think that that's why alot of people like the guy.
This is where I come in saurageis while he says he's not endorsing,
what I just heard was pretty muchan endorsement. Sean O'Brien, Teamster's same
thing. Media trying to shut downthat iconic photo that Mark Zuckerberg's talking about
(11:03):
because they know how much that helpsTrump. What do you make of what
Zuckerberg said right there? So onethe Trump photo might be the most iconic
moment in American politics, and Ithink, at least in my lifetime,
it's not. It's not possibly Ever, I'd say that the vibe has definitely
(11:24):
shifted. The one thing I wantedto say is that, and I said
this on Twitter X, is thatthat assassination attempt completely eroded a social taboo
of being a Trump supporter. Nowpeople don't care if they you know,
say they if their friends and familyor the colleagues at or know that they
support Trump, like the guy nearlylost his life. And I think at
(11:46):
this point, and Trump made agreat point during the speech, He's like,
you know, your people to saythey're to stop, maggot, Like
what you what is then to stop? Like you're trying to make America great
again? But you don't want Americato be great again? Like what's the
what's the pushback that like your dealat this point, like you can it's
not like saying that, oh I'ma Trump supporter, so why it's be
(12:09):
like wait, you don't support Trump? Why? Yeah, Like what's wrong
with you? Like I think that'swhere the vidor shift is, Like you
come to the point where like I'mI'm honestly questioning a lot of my friends
who are like still getting back intolike the twenty sixteen to twenty twenty is
I think Trump's going to become adictator? Like do you not realize that
Biden is using the step down andtake it off out of the running,
(12:31):
because that's exactly what a dictator doeslike, I'm sorry, did you not
get the memo? Have you haveyou had your head in the stand for
the last month, like this isthis is a legit thing that people are
talking about and they want to actlike Trump is always going to be the
dictator. The fact though, andjust countering what you said, there's both
sides of this on the democratic side, Saraje, which is, yeah,
(12:54):
you could say Biden's not going toleave and he's going to stay in power,
and that's what a dictator would do. But people who would subvert democracy
in order to save democracy, that'swhat the Dems and the power elites are
trying to do. They went througha primary. The Democratic voters, fourteen
million of them picked Joe Biden andthe dictators from on hire. So no,
no, no, no, no, we don't like that choice.
(13:16):
This one's probably gonna lose. Sowe're going to tell you who are candidate's
going to be. So again they'retelling us we need to subvert democracy to
save democracy. How can that besold? It's a great uh. You
know. This is the problem thatthe Democrats have run into is that they
now have completely lost the plot withmessaging like they never they can no longer
(13:37):
say that Trump is a threat todemocracy when Biden has been the biggest threat
to it while he's been in office, like the fact that he's then persecuting
and prosecuting his political opponents. Peteinvolved just getting out of jail, Donald
Trump getting convicted on a bogus AlvinBragg caase, I mean, this is
all things that when you look atit, when you look at the history,
(14:01):
or no federal prosecutors to take upa Stormy Daniels howsh money payment case,
you're starting to think to yourself,well, maybe this is all Maybe
all of this is politically motivated,and the Democrats have sold a bill of
dad goods to the American public thatthey seem to be like these canons of
democracy and you know, preserving institutions, but what they're preserving is rotten to
(14:24):
the core. There's no such thingas justice in America anymore. There's no
this thing as rule of law.All this stuff is just a figment of
your imagination. And the Democrats wantto play up like they're the ones who
are, you know, morally superior. All of them are morally bankrupt.
Saraj Hashmi my guest, I wantto break this down a little further and
get a little personal with you,Saraj, because when I'm hearing from you,
(14:48):
I mean the vide shift we keepthinking about. Let's go back to
that we heard from Mark Zuckerberg postassassination. We saw Elon Musk as soon
as that happened, I strongly endorsedthis man. He's throwing like twenty eight
million a month kind of harvest ballots. All of a sudden, He's come
out of the woodwork. Hul Kovinsaid, I didn't want to get involved
politically when that happened. I'm magaall the way. I'm Trump vance.
(15:09):
I'm ripping the shirt off on thestage you've always been. I would say,
I don't know, kind of atepid Trump supporter, perhaps voter,
etc. Maybe you vote for maybeyou don't. You kind of tried to
come at it from an equal opportunitystandpoint. What I'm hearing from you right
now, Sir Roger, you're prettymuch maga all the way, Like going
to crawl over broken glass to votefor Trump? Do I have that right?
(15:31):
Uh? Oh yeah no, Imake no mo votes about it at
this point, Like, given whatoptions we have, like you. You're
either voting Trump or you're wrong,like there's no other, Like it is
a binary choice. And like thefact that the people who are still trying
to push by them down our throats, it kind of goes to show you
(15:52):
just how much they care about cleaningthe power. Trump doesn't need this,
Dana White said the last night,Trump very you know, plush and convenient
and luxurious lifestyle before he got intopolitics, and then all of a sudden
all his friends turn on them.Who needs that, right, So why
would you go through it for anotherliterally a third time and put yourself,
(16:15):
put yourself and your family through allof that and nearly die as well.
Like at that point, it reallystarts to open your eyes that you know,
a lot of these things that you'reseeing about you know, people reporting
about Trump or how they report onhim, and that he's like, you
know, only cares about himself.Like I don't know, I don't know
if I buy that argument anymore.I don't know if I buy that story
or that narrative that he's all init for himself, like maybe he's running
(16:38):
to keep himself out of prison.But like at the same time, all
these things again thrown out. Theclassified documents case was thrown out because Jack
Smith was his appointment was not constitutional. It's you're starting to realize that the
entire house of cars that the Democratshave built, it's all falling apart.
And I think it's really important.I think it's a morally correct position.
(16:59):
He even if you don't like Trumppersonally, like you don't think he's a
good person, you realize that yourlife was so much better with him in
office than with him out of this. We're coming up on what we got,
especially what we got now, SarajhHashmie our guest. Now, Sarah,
we're coming up on a break herein about a minute and a half.
Do you have time to stay withme for another segment after that break?
Okay, before we go to breakthough this pressure campaign and this kind
(17:22):
of wish casting that we're seeing Markhalprin Newsmax, that Pelosi, Obama,
some of these other prominent Democrats they'retrying to push Joe Biden off the train
basically, but out of this racefor sure. And it seems like,
especially if that pressure comes from Obama, that that's personal for Joe Biden.
He's gonna buckle down. He's gonnadig in even deeper. I have no
(17:45):
idea how this is going to playout, but I think Joe Biden's instincts
based on the person we know heis, and I saw some a posts
by both you and Jay that Icompletely agree with. He is a bad
person. He's not a good guy. So this is all the sweet old
man. He is a bad guyand he has been for fifty years.
Do you think he bows out ofthis race under any condition? I don't
think he does. No, No, he doesn't. He also doesn't resign
(18:07):
because again Nixon seventy two. Hecan't can't let something like that happen.
He cannot resign in the middle ofhis presidency. But we all know that
he doesn't have the cognitive function tonot only just befo as Ustio run for
reelection. But you know, it'ssurprising that he even remembers that given an
effect. He doesn't remember anything.I'm just projecting, right, Saraj is
(18:33):
going to hang with us through abreak here. When we come back,
we'll have him give his take onour five nominees for our Friday Fool of
the Week. So roj hash memy guests for this second hour, Ryan

focused on service. It's right therein their name, Master Services. Find
them online, Master Router dot Plumbing. Start there Master Router Dot Plumbing for
Master Services and tell them Ryan sentyou for me. I have a lot
(20:02):
of faith in the American people,and I don't know very many men who
want to be talked to the waythat this man has been talking to men
in his audience. I don't knowany women, and I know his grandchild
was up on the thing, andthey're trying to humanize them and change your
idea about who this guy is.Don't fall for that, aus Wlipopie Goldberg
(20:25):
of view. Keep believing in theOrange Hitler myth. We need you to.
We can't afford to have him win. She is one of five nominees
for our Friday Fool of the Week. He's no fool, but he's hanging
over with me, so maybe heis. Saraj Hashmi training me. I'm
going to have you break each ofthese five down, just your quick reaction
to each one, Sarage. Whathe had to say there, What does
(20:45):
it tell you? It tells methat she's actually never spoken to a man
in her life to a man orthe man meaning Trump, any man?
Are you talking about the partner?She said, No, man wants to
be spoken to the that Trump speaksto us. Yeah, I found that
odd, Like what are you talkingabout? Yeah, no, I have
no idea what you're talking about.And but you know what that's that's that's
(21:06):
kind of what uh the lesson theseDemocrats are doing like that, almost all
of them have just regressed into thisblue and non territory where they they just
can't accept reality. And so whenthey can't accept reality, they start creating
their own reality. And that's thereality that they're living in. So they
don't actually think Trump was actually shotat or that he had a bullet go
(21:26):
through his ear. They think,oh, there was a piece of glass.
And if even the Secret Service toldeveryone that was a piece it was
a bullet, it'll be like Ineed adopted to tell me that. Oh,
I'll trust you. It's almost likeyou saw my show prep right in
front of you, Saraj, Becausewe're gonna go to candidate number two.
We go from Whipopie Goldberg to theformer chair of the Republican Party, Michael
(21:47):
Steele MSNBC two. Sarajs point whereI am at this point is it's been
three days going all four since thishorrific event occurred on the person lost their
life, to have been severely injured. Yeah, we've i received a medical
report from the hospital, nor havewe received a medical report from the campaign
or from the Trump organization about theextent of the damage to his ear.
(22:10):
If he was shot by a highcaliber bullet, there should probably be very
little ear there, and so we'dlike to know that is there cosmic metic
surgery involved? What is the proagnosisfor recovery? Were their stitches? What
is the extent in nature of thedamage to his ear? Was it caused
by a bullet as opposed to ussome reports from those on the scene,
(22:33):
other reporters saying that it was actuallyshards of glass from the teleprompter itself,
not the bullets. Surig when didMichael Steel become either a ballistics and or
ear expert. It's funny. Itis like Michael still off camera, is
like one of the nicest guys ever, and it's just so fascinating to see
how his mind has sort of,you know, gone down the trail by
(22:56):
hanging around the MSNBC type and It'sfast to me because like, I wish
they would have that kind of energyover these last three and a half years
over Joe Biden's cognitive decline, andthey're expressing for this medical report that you
know they're they're not even entitled tohave. I mean, who cares At
this point. Trump survived. Hewe clearly didn't see any cognitive decline when
(23:21):
he was at when he was givinga speech at the R and C last
night. So I mean, whatmore do you really want at this point?
Like, yeah, like someone losttheir life like that, that should
tell you everything right there that itwas in stage, Like, I mean,
how are we how are we gettingeven into this territory? It's a
great question. And to turn toan expert for the compare and contrast between
(23:44):
Trump and Biden and what they're goingthrough. I'm going to turn to Joy
Read MSNBC. She compares Trump gettingshot at and almost assassinated to Biden getting
COVID. Here's a question that Ihave on that these two men are both
elderly. Donald Trump is an elderlyman who, for whatever reason, was
given nine seconds to take a iconicphoto op during an active shooter situation.
(24:07):
Weird situation. We'll figure that outone day. But his survival of that
and bouncing right back and going rightto his convention is being conveyed in the
media world as a sin of string. This current president of the United States
is eighty one years old and hasCOVID. Should he be fine in a
couple of days? Doesn't that conveyexactly the same thing that he's strong enough
(24:30):
older than Trump to have gotten somethingthat used to really be fatal to people
his age. So if he doesfine out of it and comes back and
is able to do rallies, isn'tthat exactly the same? I mean,
it's not exactly the same, it'snot same incident, but it's an elderly
man coming through out of an illa. It should sarage. I know that
(24:51):
MSNBC's audiences are small, but theirIQs must also be small unless they enjoy
being treated like idiots. But youknow it's funny. I can't imagine the
type of person who sits and watchesthat all day and thinks, yes,
I need more of this, Pleasegive me more. It's one of those
(25:12):
things where like you have, likeanyone with two brain cells would see that
these people are completely off the rocker, like they're just there's just no you
can't like I can't even develop theright words the responses. I almost feel
like I'm suffering from Joe Biden brainright now because I can't figure out how
to respond to joy Ree's comments,Like it's bad, insane, it's patently
(25:34):
crazy. And the fact that they'regoing these lengths like just shows you how
much they're they can't cope with this, off with all of this, Like,
yeah, maybe Biden getting COVID ateighty one is not a great thing
and potentially fatal, but that alsogoes to show you that, hey,
if if COVID at this stage couldkill the president of the United States,
(25:57):
then he shouldn't have been president.There it is arriving at a logical square
from a joy read comment. Welldone, Saraj Hashmi, our guest,
your votes on our Friday Fool ofthe Week. We just have three nominees.
We got two to go, Saraj. Quick question, are you a
fan of Lord of the Rings?I am, and you're a right way.
(26:21):
I was just gonna say that totell you everything. You know,
all right, here's Rachel Maddow expandingon that theory, like mister Teal,
who has named his companies after thingsin the Lord of the Rings series of
J. J. R. R. Tolkien books. Lord of the Rings
is a sort of favorite cosmos fornaming things and cultural references for a lot
of far right and alt right figures, both in Europe and the United States.
(26:44):
Peter Tiele names all the things afterTolkien figures and places, like his
company Pallanteer for example, like hismentor, like Peter Teele, who had
given him all his jobs in theworld. Mister Vance also, when he
founded his own venture capital firm withhelp from Peter Teele, aimed it after
a Lord of the Rings thing.He called it Naria nar Ya, which
(27:04):
you can remember because it's Aryan,but you move the end to the front.
Apparently that word has something to dowith elves and rings from the Lord
of the Rings series. I don't. Yeah, little known fact too,
Saraj Robert Plant led Zeppelin far rightconspiracy theorists because of his writings about Mortar
and Gollum, et cetera. InRambalan. Yeah, it's one of those
(27:25):
things where like if you remember,after Trump was one to twenty sixteen election,
everyone started referring to like all hiscritics, particularly the resistance, to
refer to those Voldemort, and theyall made it all these like analogies Harry
Potter, and he came to thepoint where it's like, well, read
another book, like, okay,so you're making all these conjectures about Lord
(27:45):
of the Rings. Okay, soread another book, like it's not even.
But it's not even. The writingis bringing this up. It's all
the Left. It's mad of like, no, I wouldn't have known that
unless them ASNBC said something about it. Nope, not at all. And
the final one here, Suraj Hashmi, he's going to be judging our five
contestants, Alex Wagner. She isweaving in the conspiracy theories of white supremacy
(28:08):
and whiteness and misogyny. And it'sall JD. Vance because of his burial
plots in eastern Kentucky. But inAmerica, doesn't always have to be the
white male lineage that Trump's that definesthe family history, that that branch of
the tree supersedes all else. AndI just think the construction of this notion
(28:29):
reveals a lot about someone who fundamentallybelieves in the supremacy of whiteness and masculinity,
and it's couched in a sort ofhalcion, you know, revisitation of
his roots. But it is actuallyreally revealing about what he thinks matters and
who America is, and that Americais a place for people where he shared
Western background, and that is theidea of America, that is the nation
(28:52):
of America that he wants to ResurrectrojerI think you really unlocked this for the
typical MSNBC viewer, because this isparalysis by analysis. All of what she
just said was gobbledegook. I ama white man that lives in this country.
I've never thought about the things she'stalking about. I don't consider them
in anything I do, but shethinks that I do. Yeah, it's
one of those things where like,look, I am by no stress considered
(29:15):
like a white person. I ambiracial. But even then, like,
I do not think about this stuffall the time. You want to know
why, because I'm not a victim. And that's that's what these people do.
They're always stuck in the victim mentality, and so they always think,
oh, woe is me? Howis the world oppressing me today? Get
not about that mindset. You're notgonna go anywhere with that mindset. That's
(29:37):
all. It's all just an excuse. It's a coping mechanism to basically say,
oh, I gave up on life, so you should too. Final
question this from a Texter out there. Sarag He asked, does your guest
have a sister that works for FoxNews? If so, she's a very
beautiful woman. Is he a veryhandsome guy? That's Jared and Boulder.
(29:57):
He's referring, of course, toAisha Hashni, but she I looked it
up. She's also from Pakistan,like your origin there, Sarage, Oh,
there's no relation. And also hersit's Hasni Hashmi. So I mean,
it's funny. I thought of I'vebeen asked that question before if there
(30:18):
was any relation, But they seethe spelling of our two last names and
they're like, oh, yeah,it's not the same, more like a
slant rhymeal Saraj, he've been verymuch. It's one of those things where
like if we were related, that'dbe cool. I actually found out I
was related to other people that youknow by like you know, a second
cousin or something like that. Ancestrydot Com do the spit test for the
DNA. Saraje. Always appreciate yourtime. You've been very generous with it

but Noah's Kelly. I give Kellyall the credit, give it total
and full credit. Okay, thisone, Mandy, Oh, I get
it. Somebody's pulling the sarage unlessthat is sorry. Now that's not sorry.
I'm going with Michael Steele for callinga five point five six millimeter slash
(32:52):
two twenty three bullet high caliber.If you would have said high velocity,
then he would have been correct.And you are correct, Texter, So
thanks for clearing that up for us. I love to see the left imploating.
They've had their way for so long. Biden isn't going anywhere. He
truly believes no one but him canbeat Trump. Yeah, Gary, And
what made him think that? Oh, the entire apparatus designed to prop him
(33:15):
up. They are all telling himhe's doing a great job. They're all
telling him that he's totally saying andlucid. He's been fed this bull crap
from everybody around him until that circlegot smaller and smaller. And that's what
they are sewing, and that's whatthey are reaping. Got a lot of
votes here. I want to getto a couple other texts. Kimberly ooh
(33:37):
yes, snipping to a slim gym. Yeah, mucho madness, Randy Savage
ge rip, but hul Cogan wasthere and that's got to be good enough.
Erica says, another mix of reallyhard choices. I have to vote
for Joy Reed as fool of theWeek. And I got to tell you
that's kind of the consensus here,Kelly. Isn't that our winner for today?
(34:00):
It is? It wasn't close.And let's again hear why here's Joy
read congratulations are Friday Fool Week.Here's the question that I have on that
these two men are both elderly.Donald Trump is an elderly man who,
for whatever reason, was given nineseconds to take a iconic photo op during
(34:20):
an active shooter. The situation weirdsituation. We'll figure that out one day.
But his survival of that and bouncingright back and going right to his
convention is being conveyed in the mediaworld as a sign of string. This
current president of the United States iseighty one years old and has COVID.
Should he be fine in a coupleof days? Doesn't that convey exactly the
(34:44):
same thing that he's strong enough olderthan Trump to have gotten something that used
to really be fatal to people hisage. So if he does fine out
of it and comes back and isable to do rallies, isn't that exactly
the same. No, though itis not exactly the same. Joy Rey,
I mean, I just love thesepeople too, who look, they
look down on us. Oh,they think to test us. We're the
(35:07):
incorrigibles, We're the deplorables. We'rein a basket. You were smelly people
that go to Walmart. We're inflyover country. They don't have a use
for us except when they can goto Aspen or Vail and they'll stop by
here. But they don't want tostay here. They don't want to stay
with color Roddens. You're kidding me. Oh my god, we're beneath them.
Once we've figured out the solution tothat puzzle. They're in trouble.
(35:28):
And I'm telling you they're in troublewhere I come from too, in the
Upper Midwest. They cannot relate tothose people, to my people, to
who I am. I mean,there's a reason you heard it from Saraj
with his passion as well, peoplelike myself and him that might might have
been considered center right at some point. Uh Uh, I am full blown
maga make America great again. Okay, I am Orange Tan. You can
(35:50):
spray me. I am gonna notonly crawl over glass to vote for Donald
Trump. Broken glass at that,not the broken glass the Michael Steele thinks
hit him. But I would literallyClint Eastwood in the line of fire for
Donald Trump. Right now, That'swhere I'm at. I know that's where
a lot of you are at too. Stay tuned. The Dan Camplas Show
is next.
