Chris sits down with the artist Gregory Siff to discuss his new show ‘Portrait of an American Ice Cream Man’ which is showing until the end of July by appointment in Los Angeles.

Chris discusses the fallout of the Milo Yiannopoulos Twitter ban, the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, the DNC email leak, Trump’s ties to Russian espionage, and third party candidates.

Milo Yiannapoulos is a senior editor at Breitbart and the most fabulous super villain on the internet. His Twitter account, @nero, was the first ever to be ‘unverified’ for what Twitter deemed to be inappropriate content. He’s a free speech fundamentalist, a provocateur, an antagonist, and a hell of a funny guy. He’s going to push your buttons, so you may as well let him.

We discuss his new projects, how to make it in LA, ambition, and whether the real Taylor Swift will ever be naked in a Kanye video.
