Paris Is Burning, Bernie Is Dodging, And Mueller Is Looming

On the one year anniversary of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast, we talk about the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and why the damage is not as bad as it looked like it could have been, how Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders released his very telling taxes and the Mueller Report’s expected release date this week.

Lastly, we take a quick walk down memory lane.

Listen to the show:

Notre Dame burned, and the visuals were horrible. The reality, however, may not be that bad. The discussion during the fire was how the famed 856-year-old cathedral was likely lost for good, but people forget that most of Europe was flattened just 80 years ago, and you’d hardly notice it today.

Notre Dame will be restored, with a better, nonflammable roof (and possibly a sprinkler system). The fire appears to have done most of its damage to just the wooden roof, which was extremely high, and early signs indicate the fire did minimal damage to the interior. The stone walls held (because stone doesn’t burn) and heat rises, so complete disaster may have been avoided. We discuss it all.

Bernie Sanders ventured where few liberals go: Fox News. He was the subject of a town hall, during which the subject of his tax returns came up. Needless to say, he got a little defensive. The socialist Senator is not a very charitable man, even after he became a millionaire.

The Mueller Report is coming out Thursday — in redacted form, at least. Journalists and pundits who mocked the Attorney General for summarizing the report in 48 hours, saying he couldn’t have read 400 pages (even though he’d been briefed on what would be in the report weeks prior) and digested it as quickly as he did will start immediately analyzing it within minutes of its release. Seth Meyers is even expanding his “comedy” show Thursday night so he can spend time talking about it. Yes, seriously. We get into all of it.

And today is the anniversary of the launch of the show, so we talk a quick trip down memory lane and thank everyone who has helped us grow.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
