On today's show, we discuss the latest in the Elon Musk boycott, the latest on Hunter Biden's UFO sightings, and the new lawsuit against a group of conservative media outlets that targeted conservative media. Plus, we're joined by Jack Posobiec, Libby, and Jack's sister, Jacky, to talk about all of this and more.
00:00:00.000Elon Musk was speaking at a New York Times event and he was asked about advertisers and
00:00:12.000the boycott and he said, go F yourselves.
00:00:15.000And we're gonna play that video for you.
00:00:16.000He said, anybody who wants to try blackmailing me with money, go F yourselves, in a powerful statement.
00:00:21.000He goes on to talk about his motivations, and he makes really great points.
00:00:25.000There are these companies that pretend to do good while doing evil, just so they can earn those ESG scores, whereas he sees what he's working on as genuinely doing good, but being attacked relentlessly.
00:00:37.000This morning, Rumble announced a lawsuit against a group of activists that target conservative media, or just in general, politics and media platforms they don't like, and tried to get their ads pulled.
00:00:49.000Chris Pawlowski, the CEO, said, the cavalry is here, announcing this lawsuit.
00:00:54.000And, well, the rumor is there's going to be many, many more lawsuits.
00:00:57.000And before the show, I saw a very, very interesting story.
00:01:55.000We're constantly trying to re, oh, we're sold out.
00:01:57.000Okay, now, we're sold out of ground Appalachian Nights, but we still have Appalachian Nights whole bean.
00:02:01.000And we also have K-Cups, and we've got light roast, dark roast, it's ground, it's whole.
00:02:06.000And you can join the Cast Brew Coffee Club if you want to support our work.
00:02:09.000We're building a coffee shop, as many of you know, and we want to create physical locations around the country where you can hang out with like-minded individuals.
00:02:15.000That's why we're launching a coffee company for our coffee shops, but it's easier to create the coffee than it is to make the building, so it's taking some time.
00:02:22.000But also, don't forget to go to TimCast.com, click Join Us, So you can hang out in the members-only Discord with like-minded individuals, because we're trying to build culture and community, but also you'll get access to our uncensored members-only show tonight at 10 p.m., where you can call in and ask us and our guests questions.
00:02:41.000Generally, if you support this show and the work we do, become a member, because that is the principal way that we fund the operation and grow the operation, so we rely on viewers like you to keep these programs going and expanding.
00:02:53.000Don't forget to also smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
00:05:39.000Just listening to Jack talk about his operation going on outside.
00:05:42.000So it'll get quieter, and then it'll get louder, and then it'll get quieter, and then it'll get louder, and then I will find the person who's been using promo code Tanya within this zip code.
00:06:45.000I was saying, In 2018, when the adpocalypse happened on YouTube, I said, if Coca-Cola, or insert company, let's say Coca-Cola as an example.
00:06:53.000I don't know if they boycotted, but let's say they go to YouTube and say, we're going to pull our ads off because of the brand safety issue.
00:06:59.000YouTube should have said, well, okay, I guess we can give all of your ad space to Pepsi instead.
00:07:03.000And they would have been like, wait, no, that's really bad for our brand.
00:07:07.000Yeah, we're going to go give it to your principal, actually RC Cola.
00:07:10.000RC Cola is getting all of your ad space now, free of charge.
00:08:47.000And, and Sorkin was totally done and everyone was fine with that.
00:08:51.000Like you can, you can be totally fine by telling people that you want to go on a murderous rampage and invade the Middle East and kill thousands of people.
00:09:44.000In two areas in the south side of Chicago, they're building a brick-and-mortar migrant camp, and then they're also building a tent city.
00:09:52.000Well, you see, that'll be perfect for once we get in power for the mass deportations to start, because Stephen Miller is going to run up there himself and actually just start shoveling them onto the back of trucks.
00:10:03.000Alex Jones called this a long time ago.
00:12:33.000I'm not going to watch any of that stuff.
00:12:34.000A diverse group of friends, that's how every single movie pitch starts right now.
00:12:38.000What absolutely is wild, we talked about this with Jeremy Boring the other day, is that two weeks after Daily Wire announces they're Snow White, Disney releases a photo of Rachel Ziegler in the original Snow White costume with dwarves around, or with the original seven dwarves.
00:12:54.000We saw the photos of the seven companions.
00:12:57.000I guess they're going to fire all those actors?
00:13:55.000I'm wondering, though, where is he going to get the money for operating this platform that we all like?
00:14:01.000I mean, this is what Elon was kind of saying, which is that the business will fail and everyone will closely document which companies pulled out and allowed Twitter to fail.
00:14:11.000And Sorkin kind of stutters and is like, no, no, the advertisers are going to say, you said those things and they couldn't be on the platform anymore.
00:14:21.000And Musk responds, we'll see how Earth responds to that.
00:14:24.000Because, ultimately, if the advertisers aren't ruining something the public wants, like Twitter, I mean, there are a lot of Twitter competitors or ex-competitors out there, but nothing succeeded in replacing them.
00:14:36.000And so people will know who pulled out and wanted to ruin it.
00:15:12.000They need a little bit more redemption from them, but it's a step in the right direction.
00:15:15.000But if every company that did some woke BS flipped and started sponsoring people we liked, we have to accept that as a win.
00:15:22.000You're not going to get rid of Anheuser-Busch.
00:15:27.000The company's just too powerful to ever stop existing.
00:15:33.000We talked about this on ThoughtCrime with the show I do with Charlie, You know, it's sort of like, at what point do you stop beating, right?
00:15:39.000You stop beating until they correct the behavior.
00:15:41.000So if they've overcorrected in the other behavior, then they're okay.
00:15:45.000Now we have to- now, so Absolute Vodka, I think, Libby, you were- you were tweeting about this.
00:15:49.000Like, they're- they've gone 10 times worse than anything that Bud Light ever did.
00:16:24.000Like, we have Grey Goose, too, in the liquor cabinet.
00:16:27.000If they turn you to beer, Tim's gonna come in with like a Z on his... I used to buy Zhelka vodka from this liquor store called KGB Liquors on Essex Street in Manhattan.
00:17:44.000I want all of you, sitting at home, in front of your computers, with paintbrush on your taskbar, pinned.
00:17:51.000To crack that open and make the memes.
00:17:53.000And when you post that meme, I want to imagine that you are Gandalf on top of that hill at the Battle of Helm's Deep with the Riders of Rohan storming in.
00:18:02.000How did you know that I have it pinned?
00:19:16.000Like, they made Mulan and thanked the security forces running the concentration camps, the Uyghur concentration camps in China, and they're gonna get on their high horse and insult X?
00:19:31.000You're playing dirty games because you're crackpot weirdos, but I'll tell you this.
00:19:35.000When Disney put out that statement about how they're losing, they mentioned their goals towards the environment and social change.
00:19:43.000Quite literally, they're saying ESG has screwed us over and is costing all of you money.
00:19:49.000Because at the end of the day, right, ESG only existed, this environmental sustainability government.
00:19:58.000Scheme was it was all about a stock scheme, right?
00:20:01.000It was never anything that had to do with making a good product So the idea was that if you had a good ESG score that you would score bigger capital with like Blackrock and Blackstone State Street, etc So they would come in and they would capitalize you and then your stock would go your stock would rise and then also you would just gain more access to more capital markets more American capital markets through that and And so again, Nick, you wanted a better score.
00:21:14.000Obviously with Netflix, we know it's, it's turned into a meme.
00:21:17.000It's turned into a meme with Netflix where they're kind of like leaning into it now and they're making like, like, like the general Hannibal is going to be black.
00:21:29.000I don't think there's really any Denzel attractors out there, but... But the argument is that he's from Northern Africa, and even though it's Africa, he's not like a black African.
00:21:37.000I don't have a big problem with Idris Elba playing... 007?
00:22:10.000Like, this is what bothered me about the Little Mermaid thing, and Disney pays for this, right?
00:22:15.000They decide that they don't see enough diversity, and rather than saying, like, well, what cultures do we want to see diversity from, and what stories can we steal from them?
00:22:24.000Instead, they're like, Hans Christian Andersen, we're doing it again, except we've just changed the skin tones.
00:22:28.000And that feels so cheap and gross that I think, ultimately, it's collapsing around them.
00:22:31.000It's the same thing when they're making these Teenie Bopper remakes of stuff, you know, what was it?
00:22:37.000They had one like on Robin Hood except it was going to be a girl and it said the inner city and ultimately I don't even know if it ever got made because people don't like it.
00:22:45.000It's transparent, it's cheap, it doesn't engage them intellectually, it's not really a form of art, it's barely a form of entertainment.
00:22:55.000But they're not just changing the skin tone, right?
00:22:57.000I mean, if you're just changing skin tone, that's one thing.
00:22:59.000But you're also not just swapping gender when you do that kind of thing.
00:23:04.000What you're doing is taking stories that have meaning, that have a place in culture, and transforming them into something that is meaningless and empty and dead.
00:23:15.000So you're taking living stories and living narratives and you're just killing them.
00:23:20.000I mean, that was the thing about Snow White, right?
00:23:56.000Yeah, so I'm saying there's clips of it still out, but apparently the whole thing was being, according to the tweet from Adrien Ditman, they're saying the New York Times took down the full event from New York Times events.
00:24:22.000I'm pretty sure that when you're setting a live stream, you can set them so that after they're done, they don't appear as videos on your channel.
00:25:05.000If it was, the livestream was done, and it was on their channel, and you could watch the archive, and now it's been deleted, that means they went and actually removed it.
00:25:16.000I mean, they've got a bunch of other livestreams up.
00:25:18.000But I don't know why they would even do that, because... Yeah, but what are they from?
00:25:22.000One's from eight hours ago, one's from... Was it an event, or what is it?
00:25:27.000Some are events, some are interviews, some are just different things.
00:26:16.000Yeah, lying about people and trying to engage in tortious interference is not media watchdog.
00:26:26.000Maybe leftist or liberal political activism is probably fair to say, but just real quick to get to the opening context here.
00:26:34.000Rumble is suing these individuals because they claimed that Rumble receives 90% of its funding through Google ads or something to that effect and that's not true.
00:26:44.000Rumble says this is completely false and they actually told them this is not true and it's damaging to their brand because Rumble Their business is, we are independent from big tech.
00:26:54.000So they said, they know it's not true, they won't take it down, we're suing them for defamation.
00:26:59.000Which means, either these people knowingly posted lies, and considering they've been informed it's not true, that it seems that may be the case, or they have just reckless disregard for the truth.
00:27:10.000But these groups, these individuals, have gone after Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, I'm pretty sure they go after you, right Jack?
00:27:17.000Well, they go after post-mortem human events.
00:29:14.000I actually reached out to one of the board members in 2021 when they were targeting Post Millennial and we were losing ad revenue and it was not a pleasant moment.
00:29:33.000Because if an advertiser sees that this is valid, they present themselves as... I asked them about it.
00:29:38.000I asked one of the board members about it directly and she responded and she said, As to advertisers being intimidated into dropping you, advertisers are not so easily scared.
00:29:50.000If they drop you, it seems worthwhile to look at why and make your choices about what or what not to do about it.
00:29:58.000And she later said, you know, Keep your eye on the prize.
00:30:03.000What is so important is to consider why would an advertiser drop a publisher they think worthy of support they wouldn't.
00:30:10.000So she ended up saying, you know, basically that publishers make these decisions and the people who, where they advertise, like post-millennial, should make different decisions in order to keep the advertisers.
00:30:34.000I mean, if they are not open about what their political leanings are, then, or even if they are, they can still be accepted as a mainstream reference, right?
00:30:43.000You'll have things all the time that are saying, Oh, you're on the SPLC's list of whatever, and so we can't trust your opinion.
00:30:48.000You're on this group's thing, so we can't advertise with you.
00:30:51.000These lists are created so that they become taken as, you know, as gospel.
00:30:55.000Never trust any, you know, conservative that doesn't get ended up on one of these lists or doesn't get attacked by any of these people.
00:31:32.000On Monday, I'm like, everyone get out, we're recording ads for the same sponsors.
00:31:35.000We just finalized another six-figure sponsorship deal.
00:31:39.000They're outright lying and using the lies to make money, to convince people to donate.
00:31:46.000Wait, so, because I remember seeing that when they posted that, or, you know, you were tweeting at them or something, and then I went back and was thinking, like, so sometimes if I don't catch the show live, I'll go back and listen on the podcast side, and I'm like, they're all there, like, you can hear it, it's totally normal, and it's been that way for, I don't know, years at this point?
00:32:06.000So, We've been doing mostly over the past few months direct reads for Casper Coffee, obviously, because we're building up our own company, which is probably going to crack over a million dollars in revenue in its first year.
00:32:19.000So in a conspiracy to profit, you've created a company and you're using your other company to leverage that new company.
00:32:30.000I mean, this is the most nefarious thing I've ever heard.
00:32:32.000So, currently, we have our same ad sales rep.
00:32:36.000We used to do more live reads during the show, now it's all just the recorded.
00:32:41.000So, if you guys listen on the podcast, you'll get the recorded ads where it's like, better help, and the sponsors are all still there, and we actually do really well.
00:32:52.000They're outright fabricating this, and I will add, The only reason we've not done live reads specifically, despite the fact we still have all these sponsors asking us when we will, is because we're trying to promote as much as possible Casprew, but we actually did a deal for some live reads on the show again!
00:33:12.000You see how they use deceptive language?
00:33:14.000First of all, they said, I'm not selling ads anymore.
00:34:51.000Oh, right, we got the collagen, we have the camping gear and stuff.
00:34:57.000Yeah, all of these sponsors are still there.
00:35:00.000And we've actually been, I've been talking to the ad sales guy about end of the year sales to bring them back in because I'm like, look, we've been doing Casper this whole time.
00:35:52.000I don't know, man, like, do I have to pursue some kind of criminal charge, like fraud charges against them?
00:35:56.000Because I guess what you'd have to do is find someone who donated to them.
00:36:04.000Because they believed this organization had negatively impacted our business, they also have a tweet up claiming that our website's demonetized.
00:36:59.000They're just claiming that they're doing a public service by, you know, telling you what's going on and the public has more information this way.
00:37:05.000You know, they'll get their 501c3 status because ultimately the people who give to them are the same people who give to the political leaders who are in charge right now.
00:37:13.000I mean, they see it as a benefit to their own mission.
00:37:16.000And that's why they can send you emails being like, well, if you were better at publishing better stuff, then your advertisers wouldn't pull out.
00:37:45.000That was the weird thing about hearing Elon Musk talk, which is that he's saying, you know, the advertisers believe they can ultimately get me to do what they want.
00:37:53.000Even, even sort of opening up with, well, you're sort of on this apology tour.
00:37:56.000And I felt like I could watch Elon Musk's tense and be like, I'm absolutely not on an apology tour.
00:38:01.000I am not going to admit that you guys or admit wrongdoing.
00:38:06.000Or just partake in this manipulation of what you want?
00:38:09.000And I think the weird thing is that ultimately, advertisers need the eyes, and the eyes are gonna stay on Twitter, meaning that the users are staying on Twitter, even if the advertisers pull off, right?
00:38:18.000Like, the engagement on Twitter didn't dip because the advertisements went away.
00:38:22.000Ultimately, to me, it seems like someone else will rise up and take those spots back.
00:38:26.000Or they'll come back, because that's where the crowd is.
00:39:00.000So, look at the Trump cases that are going on right now, from the left.
00:39:05.000You've got the Attorney General of New York finding any pretext to go after him.
00:39:10.000Literally any pretext to go after him, his company, his family, even things that didn't even happen in her state, she's finding a way to make it happen.
00:39:18.000You see this with Fannie Willis, you see this again and again. One of the best, from
00:39:22.000his perspective, one of the most strategic and most efficient uses of money that George Soros ever did
00:39:30.000Because for a couple million bucks here and there, you compare that to like the Coke industry,
00:39:34.000the Coke brothers who spent billions just drowning our country down the tubes.
00:39:41.000And now they want to throw all this money behind Nikki Haley.
00:39:44.000And you compare that to just a couple of million bucks that George Soros spent in key targeted races, whereby he's now able to have the President of the United States arrested, he's able to have the frontrunner for the Republican nomination be put under a series of trials, So all of this is going on.
00:40:03.000Meanwhile, Republicans will sit back and go, oh, we can't do anything like that.
00:40:11.000Look what Letitia James did to the NRA and just completely castrated them in front of everyone.
00:40:17.000Sure, they still exist on paper, but they're so much more castrated than they've ever been in terms of the 2A fight right now.
00:40:24.000At a time where, you know, just to be frank about it, you know, the Republican Party needs single-issue voters.
00:40:31.000Look at how the Democrats are utilizing single-issue voters when it comes to abortion and turning that into a massive ballot harvesting operation.
00:40:37.000The NRA could be doing that if they existed or had any serious operations right now.
00:40:41.000Just doesn't exist after what Letitia James did.
00:40:44.000And Republicans will sit there and say, oh, that's not fair.
00:40:46.000Meanwhile, Democrats are saying, let's strip Trump off the ballot.
00:40:49.000Let's find any way that we can destroy you guys and keep pressing the advantage, because again, Democrats know how to use government power, they will use government power, and Republicans are terrified.
00:41:01.000So I threw out there, and not to get into like the primary stuff, if you want to.
00:41:07.000I threw out there that a guy like Ron DeSantis would never even Like he would be physically terrified to utter the words, I'm going to have Joe Biden stripped from the ballot in Florida.
00:41:20.000And you know, he has full power in the state super legislature.
00:41:25.000You know, he could easily file a charge from his campaign saying that Biden is ineligible and you find pretext under the fact that he, that he took bribery from China, which is an impeachable offense.
00:41:35.000And he could say, therefore you are not eligible to run for president under the constitution.
00:41:41.000And this guy, he would be terrified to do that because, and you can say it's not the stones, not the backbone, whatever.
00:41:46.000It's just, no, he is a pedantic rule follower.
00:41:49.000He's terrified of actually standing up for himself and fighting back.
00:41:52.000And it's why, like, he'll go on Lara Ingram and can't even, you know, can't even name Ronna McDaniel and say, oh, I'm, you know, terrified to do this.
00:41:59.000You could see Lara, like, rolling her eyes at him.
00:42:01.000And my point is that it's not even an anti-DeSantis thing.
00:42:05.000It's just that there's a lot of Republicans like this.
00:42:08.000They are terrified to actually use government power.
00:42:12.000Well, let's jump to this story from the Daily Mail.
00:42:24.000Hunter Biden was caught with weird money laundering again.
00:42:27.000Fox News reports money laundering investigator warned of Hunter Biden's unusual erratic payments from China in 2018.
00:42:34.000The bank investigator raised concerns about money that ultimately funded the $40,000 payment to Joe Biden, Comer says.
00:42:41.000So, uh, Of course there's a big UFO story coming out on the same day that there is a mysterious Chinese payment to Hunter Biden in the news.
00:43:20.000No, no, the UFO people turned on Fox News, and they reported Hunter Biden, and they immediately called their friends and said, we got UFO news coming!
00:43:27.000You're like, brace yourselves, it's about to happen.
00:43:31.000Because I was thinking, if you're a UFO person, you're like, the Biden administration is just releasing all kinds of fake information under the guise of UFOs to distract from Hunter.
00:43:39.000But maybe the information they're releasing is legitimate.
00:43:42.000And that way, you can really distract people.
00:43:55.000In an email released from the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, a Bank Secrecy Act manager raised concerns the payments did not appear to correspond to any services rendered, as well as Chinese efforts to target children of politicians.
00:44:06.000The investigator suggested the bank re-evaluate its relationship with the client.
00:44:11.000So you had private sector concerns that homeboy over here was taking dirty money from foreign governments.
00:44:17.000Well, here we are, ladies and gentlemen, with new UFO news breaking as we speak.
00:44:28.000You know, they talk about Donald Trump hiring his family and his kids and all that stuff, and I'm like, yeah, it's not an easy thing to do.
00:44:34.000If you own a business, and let's say, let's say you own a car dealership.
00:44:38.000You're pulling in a million bucks a month.
00:44:39.000That's like a good amount for a car dealership.
00:44:51.000You need a clearly defined job, a job title, a legitimate job title, a recognizable job title, with clearly defined hours and structure, because what's gonna happen is, government's gonna come for you and say, what does your son do?
00:45:04.000Why are you giving your son this salary?
00:45:20.000Let's say you decide to hire your son and pay him $5,000 a month.
00:45:23.000Well, now you've cut your cash in half.
00:45:26.000For your $5,000, you're still cutting that in half.
00:45:28.000Now the government's only getting $25,000.
00:45:30.000Your son, who only makes $100,000, is in a lower tax bracket.
00:45:33.000Now the government's not getting that $5,000 they thought every month.
00:45:36.000They're getting only like $35,000 or $34,000.
00:45:38.000This is why you cannot just give money to your family and your kids unless you have outlined clearly in the documents, in your corporate paperwork, and all of that stuff.
00:45:48.000It is not... I don't want to act like it's a difficult thing.
00:45:51.000If there's no clear services rendered, it is not surprising that the bank staff guy was like, uh, we should re-evaluate working with this guy, because that clearly is going to put them in, like, this bank is probably like, we're going to get, they're going to file discovery on us, we're going to get investigated.
00:46:10.000This guy's clearly got illegitimate dealings going on, we can clearly see it.
00:46:14.000So he's required to look for that under federal law, there's all sorts, this is a huge thing.
00:46:29.000There's tax, there's gift limits per year plus lifetime gift limits.
00:46:33.000If you hire family members and they don't have clearly defined titles that are recognizable, and they're not being paid a market competitive salary, they are going to come after you.
00:46:54.000It's like, you might want to pay someone a premium, and now you've got to argue why you're paying someone a premium.
00:46:59.000Oh, this guy's really, really good at his job, he should get paid more.
00:47:02.000And then they're like, you're paying him 40% above market, why?
00:47:05.000We want to know why that money's going to him and not to us.
00:47:08.000That's the kind of stuff they could go after you whenever they feel like it.
00:47:13.000I don't want to do the whole, you know, conservative, imagine if the shoe was on the other foot thing, but I should point out that Donald Trump is currently on trial for fraud in New York State.
00:47:26.000And none of the banks filed any reports like this whatsoever.
00:47:35.000In fact, it's been the exact opposite.
00:47:37.000And they defended him because they paid back with profit.
00:47:41.000And that's why the banks were willing to continue to do this.
00:47:45.000And yet we have another situation here where the banks were raising red flags, were filing potential fraud reports, and nothing seems to happen.
00:47:54.000Well, they're not supposed to be mad about the Bidens.
00:47:55.000You're only supposed to be mad about the Trumps.
00:47:57.000The Bidens are allowed to do whatever they want.
00:47:58.000This is the three-tier system of justice, right?
00:48:00.000And I heard you quote this the other day, that it's the three tiers, and I keep saying this over and over.
00:48:05.000So it used to be two, now it's three, right?
00:48:42.000And then tier three is Trump and Trump supporters.
00:48:44.000And Trump and Trump supporters have a whole extra set of laws that you know, you know, okay, maybe you were just walking through the Capitol on your way out of the Capitol means you get beat in the back with a baton by the police, even as you're complying with their orders, or how about your your Married couple who shows up an hour and a half after people have already were already leaving you have no idea what's going on There's no signs.
00:49:12.000There's no barriers you walk up and look around and then leave and they accuse you of all of the same crimes and Sentence you to a year in jail that happened.
00:49:20.000I met I met some of these people I met him at a restaurant and they said hour and a half after people had already left and all that was done they walk up and there's the building doors open and No barricades, no signs, nothing.
00:49:31.000They're not anywhere near any of the fighting or broken glass and they walk up and they're looking around and they wave and then they say, okay, whatever, and then they leave.
00:49:37.000And the next thing they know, six, seven months later, they're getting served for criminal charges for having just walked around in DC.
00:49:43.000Shout out to Owen Troyer, who's currently behind bars, who didn't even go into the Capitol.
00:49:55.000You think the wrong thing, you say the wrong thing, you're in trouble, and we want you to be behind bars.
00:50:00.000But I want to stress, in the three tiers of justice, a slight correction.
00:50:04.000The first tier is, as you described, but the second tier is, you own a bodega, and a guy comes in and smashes everything, and the cops don't show up for any reason.
00:50:15.000So that means you're in this no-man's land.
00:50:18.000The laws aren't enforced against you, and they won't be enforced for you.
00:50:22.000Then you have the bottom tier of being the Trump supporters and the MAGA people where you could be swatted 15 times in a year, ain't nobody gonna help you, and you fart in public and they're gonna lock you up.
00:50:34.000So in the Russian Civil War, during the Bolshevik Revolution, when the Bolsheviks first got in power, the idea was, and Libby, we were chatting on this before we got here, and if you read Always with Honor by Pyotr Wrangel, who was the general that fought against the communists, I actually got to visit his grave in Belgrade a couple weeks ago.
00:50:51.000It's right in this little alcove in a church.
00:50:54.000It's not marked or anything before you go into the church, but everybody knows that that's General Wrangel.
00:50:59.000And his estate is completely refused even now after the fall of the Soviet Union to have his body transferred back to Russia because that's where he wanted to go because that church specifically is dedicated to the Russian imperial family, the Romanovs.
00:51:14.000And that's from his perspective he was fighting for the rightful rulers of the country and as a patriot.
00:51:21.000And so he said in this memoir that at one point that if you were a criminal who was caught with a knife, well, the criminal doesn't know any better.
00:51:30.000He's responding to socioeconomic factors that are out of his control.
00:51:34.000It's not his fault that he's lashing out this way.
00:51:41.000We must help him and put him back on the street.
00:51:43.000But if you get caught with a knife, if you get caught with one, even if you haven't used it yet, now you're a criminal.
00:51:49.000Now you're a domestic terrorist and you must be treated as an enemy of the state.
00:51:54.000So a hundred years ago in Russia, this is exactly what they were doing.
00:51:58.000Yeah, and also because I've been looking at the Gulag Archipelago, which I know a lot of people have been talking about lately, but Solzhenitsyn talks about when he was in prison at the Lubyanka, which I don't know how you spell that, but whatever, when he was in prison and he was being interrogated and everything.
00:52:20.000But he talked about how people would come in and they would be interrogated and they would mention a former colleague who maybe they had been friendly with and then the next thing they know that former colleague is getting dragged in and being interrogated and it's just this perpetual guilt by association even though there hasn't been any guilt at any point.
00:52:38.000You know, Solzhenitsyn was dragged in while he was serving in the military and he was dragged in for, you know, crimes and it turned out that His biggest crime was that he had an old friend who was on the front lines of the opposing side, and they were sending each other letters.
00:53:13.000A bodega worker got stabbed, or they were trying to kill him and he stabbed a guy and they lock him up.
00:53:19.000There was a family, this was a big story, looters came in and just destroyed everything for no reason, and the family's life and savings were wiped out, they lost 20 grand in product.
00:53:32.000Yeah, or like when you go to the store and you can't buy anything without searching around for someone to unlock a cabinet, and there's nobody working, and it's just a self-checkout, and everyone's just getting high in the back.
00:53:42.000My favorite is in Chicago, the Walgreens, where there's no products.
00:53:47.000No, no, no, it's a big empty room with a terminal, and you walk up and type in what you want, and then after you pay, someone will walk out and carry the product to you.
00:53:56.000You know, that's sort of like how grocery stores used to be.
00:53:59.000My great-grandfather had a grocery store in Brooklyn and it would be like he would be behind the counter and my great-grandmother and people would come in and say what they wanted and they would bring them the stuff.
00:54:17.000Soviet Union that, you know, Tanya will tell me that she remembers, not from when she was like a little older, but when she was younger, that if you wanted to go to the store, that you had to get your ration stamps.
00:54:31.000And then you went to the store and you waited in line and you waited and you waited and you waited and you kept waiting.
00:54:36.000And then eventually, if you had the specific stamp for, as you say, the item that you were looking for, then you handed it to the worker, then they would go into the back, then they would get it, then they would bring it out.
00:54:47.000Because people don't understand that in Eastern Europe, in Russia, in Belarus, Ukraine, after the fall of the Soviet Union, it was a complete Wild Wild West free-for-all for almost a complete decade.
00:54:59.000and crime and and like actual highway robbers like we say highway robbery but like actual highway bandits that was a huge thing you would get some of that stuff and some people would would you know gang up on you right on the outside so you had to go in in uh you know members when society collapses and you are inside of it um all sorts of horrible things happen i remember covering the freddie gray riots and it was like everybody knew everybody knew that at a certain time like it's all just going to go Have you ever had the Eastern European wafer cake?
00:55:46.000When your guests are going to come over, you boil in condensed milk, and then you put a thin wafer, you pour some on it, you put another wafer on top, you pour another layer, and that's how you make a cake to have, but it's literally just condensed milk.
00:55:58.000Yeah, Tonya's mom makes that for special occasions.
00:56:45.000No, I was going to say there was an interview that he gave recently, you know, kind of on the heels of one of these summits where he was kind of You could tell that he was sort of like on the way out in the interview itself, and you could see him being very self-critical in this interview.
00:57:03.000And, you know, let's keep in mind that for all of his work during the Cold War, this was also a guy who was one of the main architects of globalism and the current system of that globalism.
00:57:15.000And, you know, he came out and basically said, you know, maybe we got it wrong.
00:57:20.000And maybe we shouldn't have pushed for all of this open border stuff.
00:57:24.000Maybe we shouldn't have pushed for this migration stuff.
00:57:26.000Maybe we should have realized that countries do have security concerns and the John Mearsheimers of the world.
00:57:32.000He didn't say all this, but it's clearly what he was he was referring to, because you could see that he was reflecting, I think.
00:57:38.000And I remember I was in I was at Davos where in 2022 where Kissinger came up and gave this huge speech blaming the blaming NATO for the NATO expansion on the war in Ukraine.
00:57:52.000And it was suddenly like wait Kissinger of all people is coming out saying these things and it's almost like, you know, it's like towards the end as he can see the light fading, you know him kind of going back and maybe re-examining some of his steps and realizing that they Probably weren't the best moves.
00:58:10.000You know the meme where it's Death playing the crane game?
00:58:14.000The first thing that popped in my head.
00:58:36.000Henry Kissinger, a scholar, a statesman, and celebrity diplomat who wielded unparalleled power over U.S.
00:58:42.000foreign policy throughout the administrations of Nixon and Gerald Ford, who for decades afterward, and a consultant and writer, proffered opinions that shaped global politics and business, died November 29th at his home in Connecticut.
01:00:02.000could not imagine that You know when I look at these serial killers and these
01:00:08.000really evil nasty people who do really evil things I'm like, yeah, that's there's real evil in this world
01:00:13.000When I look at Kissinger, I'm like, but he was smarter about how he went about the awful things he did so he could maintain power while he did it.
01:00:20.000Look, I mean, so you got a guy who came up with and executed the theory of Rappaport's Monde.
01:00:26.000With communist China with Chairman Mao, right?
01:00:30.000So he flies it because remember people don't realize is that oh somebody people know something.
01:00:36.000So people know that Nixon went over to, you know, kind of open up China and Nixon goes to China and this is what peels China away from the Soviet Union and eventually leads to You know, winning the war.
01:00:45.000Well, Kissinger not only was the architect, Kissinger actually went there first and met with Joe Unlai in a secret trip that nobody knew about to kind of pave the way for Nixon going there.
01:00:56.000And so, you know, Tim, to your point, you know, it takes a very cold, you know, like, Just an emotional, unfeeling mind to come up with the idea of, yeah, I'm going to sit down with Chairman Mao, probably one of the most murderous men to ever walk the face of the earth, but it's going to help us politically.
01:01:22.000We are just chickens to lay eggs for them to harvest.
01:01:26.000So they're not thinking about you and your family, the pain and suffering you go through.
01:01:29.000They don't care about what happens to your friends who died mysteriously in their sleep.
01:01:34.000They don't want to answer any of those questions and they don't care.
01:01:37.000That's why these people are disgusting and evil.
01:01:40.000These are the sociopaths who fight for political power, gain political power, and this is the corruption we need to weed out of our government, and we can.
01:01:48.000We can do it, and I think we're winning, and I'm happy to see it.
01:01:51.000Every day there are more and more victories, and every day there are more and more signs that we're headed towards something better.
01:01:59.000Again, I don't like ever, no matter who it is, having a celebration of some death.
01:02:05.000Because the reality is the dude should have been a better person.
01:02:08.000You know, life is precious, even someone as awful as him.
01:02:11.000But you have to recognize sometimes there are people that cause too much destruction.
01:02:14.000And so at the very least we can be like, well, I'm not going to cheer for his death, but I am going to be like, the world is going to be better off without his foreign policy ideas and all that.
01:02:25.000Yeah, but the legacy of anything is still there, right?
01:02:28.000Even if he's dead, the impact of the decision he made will still feel.
01:02:32.000It's true, but I'm hoping we get a good Trumpian statement where he was like, sad day hearing Henry Kissinger died.
01:02:38.000He was a great man who did atrocious things and evil and, you know.
01:02:41.000And he never supported, well knowing Trump it would be like, and he never supported me.
01:02:48.000And my favorite all time one of Trump responding to someone's death, which of course, obviously the RBG one is now just, it has become its own thing.
01:03:00.000It's actually overshadowed anything that Ruth Bader Ginsburg did in her entire life is Trump's reaction to the news of her death.
01:03:08.000And but there's the right after Trump got elected and Tim, as you say, sort of the the psychic energy, you know, as Jung called it, the the the the world spirit, you know, this this idea that that, you know, the What's the, what's the phrase?
01:03:25.000The unconscious, the collective unconscious.
01:03:28.000That he is, my fourth show of the day, that when Trump is, right after he was elected, before he was inaugurated, Castro dies.
01:03:38.000And then everyone's, you know, coming to him like, Oh, Mr, you know, President, Mr. President elect, Castro is dead.
01:04:32.000He was first and he kept doing it over and over and over.
01:04:36.000And so, I mean, if you want to talk about someone who's been You know, just just at the forefront of the US China relationship since it began in the modern era with with Chairman Mao and the Chinese Communist Party.
01:05:00.000So, you know, I'm sure this will be kind of cast a, you know, a different angle on a lot of the topics that we discussed because, you know, when we're really looking at the system that we have now, the relationships, even the, the multilateral alliances that the United States has in East Asia, the security alliances, you know, it really was Kissinger who played a huge part in setting this all up.
01:05:56.000You know, seeing Trump win was, we were talking about this earlier actually, what everybody remembers the day, everyone remembers where they were when Trump won.
01:06:23.000Adults cry over an election like this.
01:06:26.000I thought I was laughing I mean cuz the thing too is it's like we've been through a number of elections and it's like okay now We have a different president.
01:06:33.000I wonder how this one's gonna go Yeah, you know I remember talking to people in the theater community at the time and everyone was miserable and they were crying and they were sad and they thought it was literally the end of the world and I was like, well, why don't we wait and see what he does and You know, anything's possible.
01:06:47.000Like anything's but yeah, but they're all bad.
01:06:59.000No, I wasn't living when I was still in Texas when Trump got elected.
01:07:03.000And so there were people I was in college and there were people who were so excited.
01:07:08.000I remember one of the fraternities got in trouble for hanging a, like, Trump 2016 banner out of their door.
01:07:13.000They had to, like, take it down and get a fine or something.
01:07:15.000Then there was, like, all of these different, like, you know, social justice organizations being like, we stand together, they will not divide us, whatever.
01:07:22.000They were allowed to do whatever they wanted.
01:07:24.000I mean, there was a complete divide and hysteria because it was totally built on the emotions of these people who felt as though their lives personally were threatened, as if Donald Trump would come down their chimney and I don't know that there is anyone who was afraid of Trump in 2016 who had accurate information.
01:08:17.000I remember when it hit 50% and people started being like, no, no.
01:08:21.000Cassandra's sitting there like, oh my God, oh my God.
01:08:24.000And then I remember when it was greater than 99 for Trump and there was a lot of crying, but Cassandra was the only one crying tears of joy.
01:08:31.000I remember watching it at like, whatever, after midnight and it was like, some Democrat I knew was being like, well, but Pennsylvania, maybe!
01:08:38.000And everyone else is like, no, it's over.
01:08:41.000So that night, that day, I had been working and doing live streams all around Philadelphia and actually ran into James O'Keefe at one point.
01:08:52.000Like a funny story about that, maybe we'll reveal it sometime.
01:09:33.000The crazy gaga that we have now that we call an election, which is really just a ballot counting exercise.
01:09:38.000And in Philly you're pulling the levers.
01:09:40.000Yeah, so this is, you know, early morning, so pre-work, then lunchtime, then there's a huge dead time, and then there's the after work rush.
01:13:15.000Like, I've heard him do that for people so many times, and even people that aren't in politics, that just someone he knows that has trouble, he's like, oh, send the jet, don't worry about it, everything will be fine, and he'll just do that.
01:13:26.000And then just, I don't know how he, he just takes the price.
01:13:29.000We need to make sure the younger generation that wasn't... I mean, look, it's going to be 2024, so it's nearly 10 years since the 2016 race.
01:13:49.000Real quick, people need to understand this.
01:13:52.000Meme magic was a reference to the very strange occurrences that happened online where memes... So on 4chan, for instance, when you make a post, you get an ID number, and weird things would happen with numbers lining up in certain ways.
01:15:35.000So that's, you're doing it, Patrick Bet-David, I know Tucker's going to be broadcasting from there, Bannon's War Room, I'm going to be doing my show, Charlie's doing his show.
01:15:43.000Patrick Bet-David is going to be also live streaming from there.
01:15:46.000He's not just appearing, he's also going to be doing live, so like, you're going to get the valetainment.
01:16:50.000But after he left Fox, We actually, I don't know, I think our people reached out and it was a like, oh yeah, for sure, we'll figure it out.
01:17:07.000And so I'm like, I don't know, I kind of feel like.
01:17:09.000If slash when we have Trump on, it shouldn't just be us pursuing it for the sake of pursuing it, it should be like at a time where it really matters.
01:17:18.000Speaking of which, so I did actually discuss this with, speaking of AmFest, I did discuss this with Charlie earlier and, you know, so, you know, we were kind of going through because I knew there were some names that haven't come out yet.
01:19:37.000It's perplexing, because I've been at turning point events in the past where Ron DeSantis spoke and prior to him announcing that he was running against Trump, but where he was given a standing ovation by the crowd.
01:21:14.000So they keep making these weird general election arguments, which are completely baseless, by the way, that only Ron DeSantis can win the general, which there's just no evidence for whatsoever.
01:21:21.000Well, he can't win the general if he can't win the nomination.
01:21:23.000But most, I'm not going to say half, the majority of the party feels that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election.
01:21:32.000They feel that January 6th was about protesting a stolen election and they want Trump to go back and finish the job.
01:21:39.000That's a really easy sell for a political candidate.
01:21:42.000If you've got someone who's arguing against that, Uh, it just comes across as really self-centered.
01:21:49.000And quite frankly, it comes across as politically stupid because you could have, he could have gone.
01:21:56.000And I said this so many times behind the scenes, all you had to do was say, uh, Donald Trump has unfinished business and I'm going to be supporting him in 2024.
01:22:06.000Then, regardless of what happened in that election, all of MAGA would remember that DeSantis had stood by the man who put him in the governor's mansion of Florida.
01:22:16.000Instead of running this insane betrayal of a backstabbing, raising millions of dollars, laundering it through the Republican Governors Association, putting it then into the governor's race in Florida, which was a non-competitive race, Taking those millions of dollars away from competitive races all around the country.
01:22:33.000Democrats win, then they blame that on Donald Trump.
01:22:36.000Then he rolls that same money, which again, which was supposed to go to gubernatorial candidates, into his own presidential campaign.
01:22:44.000This is where Never Back Down starts, because they roll that over into federal.
01:22:48.000You can't go one-to-one, but they brought most of it over, the bulk of it.
01:22:51.000And then claims all the time that he's just on a national book tour and he's not really running for president.
01:23:07.000You could have sat back, And been handed the baton, the mantle of MAGA as the heir apparent and literally walked into the White House in 2028.
01:23:16.000But obviously there was someone in his ear saying, you don't want to be tarnished with that brush, right?
01:23:21.000There was someone who talked him out of seeing Trump and the potential role as an heir apparent as a good thing.
01:23:27.000Look, you can say what you want, but at the end of the day, I mean, he's his own man.
01:23:34.000But wouldn't that be what the implication was?
01:23:35.000Because they had a somewhat positive relationship at one point, and then it was like, well, you could run for president now and challenge Trump, or you could wait four years and do it then.
01:23:44.000Someone had to convince him that the timing was right now.
01:23:47.000To me, it seems like the argument must have been you don't want to be branded with the
01:24:09.000You were a back bench congressman that nobody can, you don't even talk about your own accomplishments from when you were in the house because you don't have any.
01:24:18.000He was another guy at dinner when we were at Trump tower or Trump hotel in DC.
01:24:23.000You were eating dinner out of a building on the front of it was the name of the man that gave you the ability because You know, you were going to run again for Senate against Marco Rubio, but then Marco said that he was going to come back in.
01:24:36.000So you cucked out of that and said, well, what am I going to do?
01:25:44.000And there's no recognition of any of that work.
01:25:46.000There's no recognition of those rallies.
01:25:48.000There's no recognition or even thanks for putting you there.
01:25:52.000It's I'm going to run against you because I think I'm better.
01:25:56.000And yes, I'm sure there are people who, you know, found some way to, you know, use verbal judo to be able to say that it's not betrayal, but it is.
01:26:05.000See, that makes me want to know who did it.
01:26:07.000Like, what part of the Republican donor class or what political operative was like, this is a great idea, we should do it.
01:26:14.000I wish that we could have a name because that would be interesting to know who twisted one political career because, you know, Donald Trump has a lot to offer the country.
01:26:23.000He could only be president for four more years.
01:26:25.000There is a darker potential read on that.
01:26:30.000You know, because, you know, we were just talking about Kissinger, right?
01:26:32.000So who would want to talk someone into destroying their own political future by convincing them to do a political suicide run against the most famous conservative in a generation?
01:26:44.000Somebody who wants the neolibs and the neocons to regain power and Bingo.
01:26:48.000push them all out. Right. So you incite a MAGA civil war.
01:27:11.000It was this weird, like, insinuation kind of thing, and then, you know, they've kind of started to now, but the attacks are, like, really weird and confusing and very, like— And cringe!
01:27:20.000Yeah, they said he had a foot fetish, like— Right?
01:27:24.000Like, this is the opposite of meme magic.
01:27:26.000So, it's a great example of— Well, because they can't run against his policies.
01:27:29.000It's a great example of so you're talking about me magic before and by the way there's a whole other theory I have and maybe it's more of a third hour theory that the lockdowns in 2020 were actually designed to prevent me magic from seeping back into reality so me magic was kept on lockdown because remember right all of this station remember folks remember never lose sight of the prize we are in a time traveler Chrono war with the globalists. That's what's really going
01:27:57.000on right? What do you mean? Well, Steve Bannon our third hour
01:28:01.000Steve Bannon is a bear from the future. That's right. Who's been sent back to guide his father
01:28:05.000There's a height no differential with the time-space continuum. No, it's you know, when you get older you get
01:28:10.000shorter But Steve Bannon's actually pretty tall.
01:30:30.000But, you know, it's the one thing that's sad to me is that, you know, I look at the Republican Party and, you know, you look at a guy like Ron DeSantis, who at one point, what I think everyone considered to be just a rising star.
01:30:42.000Someone had an incredibly bright future.
01:30:44.000And then you look at these guys, like I said before, like Lil Marco, like Scott Walker, You know, Tim Ryan, Tim Pawlenty, T-Paw.
01:31:28.000So you're saying that I'm not good enough on my own and deep down you think that you're not good enough on your own.
01:31:35.000And so you have this insecurity that I need the trappings of power.
01:31:39.000I need the ability to be the governor while I'm running.
01:31:42.000Therefore, it doesn't matter that I can immediately after winning reelection from the voters of your state, then turn around and by the way, not just betray Trump, but betray the voters of your own state, your own electorate and say, I'm not going to stay here and serve the people of this state who, by the way, I've seen their insurance rates go up I mean, they're being hit by hurricane after hurricane just of insurance rates.
01:32:07.000Not only are you going to betray the guy that put you in office, you're going to betray the people who literally just voted for you to be their governor, and you're going to go gallivanting around the country running for president in a campaign that has completely no sense of itself, and no chance, and no reason for being.
01:32:23.000So what do you think DeSantis should have done?
01:33:14.000And, you know, Christy, Christy missed his chance in to run in 2012.
01:33:18.000We're coming off of the governorship and you got to do it.
01:33:21.000You got to strike when the iron is hot.
01:33:23.000And it's like, read the room, man, just read the room.
01:33:26.000And so that being said, you know, I'm glad that this all happened this way, because if someone's political instincts are that bad, imagine if he was actually in the oval office.
01:33:35.000Imagine if he's in the Oval Office, and now he's got those people in his ear that are convincing him how to act, and they're saying, you gotta do it.
01:34:05.000Yeah, second coming of McCain in many ways.
01:34:08.000And then you get John McCain-Heels, who is Nikki Haley, you know, running, which I love, you know, having Jamie Dimon come out for her at that same event.
01:34:15.000You know, so it's like Wall Street basically just saying, yes, we fully support the military-industrial complex.
01:34:22.000So the neocons keep trying to sort of, like, come back in.
01:34:27.000And to some extent, a lot of them lined up behind DeSantis as well.
01:34:30.000So I think you had a lot of these vested interests that were shut out of the Trump administration and certainly didn't agree with Trump on foreign policy, absolutely didn't agree with him when it came to trade, certainly didn't agree with him when it came to immigration, and they saw Ron DeSantis as a sort of vehicle whereby they could push their own interests and their own agenda by potentially seeing if they could unseat Trump in the primary.
01:34:55.000You know, there was definitely an opening that DeSantis, I think, could have made it, you know, maybe a little bit more competitive, but just the way that he conducted himself, it is going to be studied for years to come as just a complete debacle of a presidential campaign and a total misunderstanding of how politics works in the Internet era.
01:35:16.000Well, you brought up the book tour, too, which I remember when that was happening.
01:35:19.000And you're just looking around going, he's running.
01:35:24.000And the people that surround him in this campaign have really advised him so poorly.
01:35:28.000They tell him to stay away from certain press.
01:35:30.000They tell him to go all in on other stuff.
01:35:33.000They're telling him to stay away from TPUSA.
01:35:35.000They came up with that ridiculous announcement on Twitter, which didn't make any sense because it was the most lackluster possible announcement.
01:35:42.000You know, there were ways to make that work and be effective.
01:35:45.000And fun and buoyant, and it just wasn't.
01:35:47.000Well, and let me like I'm just gonna say it they were lying to people they were lying to people like crazy
01:35:53.000Saying that he wasn't running he said it was and you know, he slipped up the other day kept saying it
01:35:58.000He slipped up the other day on that Laura Ingraham interview where he said, you know back in
01:36:03.0002022 I was the only candidate who said that we should have change at the RNC
01:36:19.000So he catches himself before she says something and then he came in to correct it.
01:36:23.000But it was that classic Freudian slip where he knew that he'd basically just given away the game to say, yeah, OK, yeah, obviously I was running for president.
01:37:23.000Ridley Scott has this whole movie about how men shouldn't be ambitious, and it's called Napoleon, but it's not about the actual Napoleon.
01:37:32.000It's about a guy who thinks he's Napoleon, and he's just constantly getting cucked by his wife, and that it leads him to more poorer and poorer decisions.
01:37:41.000Whereas the real Napoleon was someone who was increasingly confident and was willing to be that man of destiny, as Hegel described him.
01:38:52.000And then what we're going to do is, when we book more and more musical guests for the end of the show on Friday night, we're going to put those clips on the Trash House Records YouTube to have this, like, library of music.
01:39:31.000I would panic the cameras guys, but they're off right now.
01:39:33.000We're just gonna have to move the cameras, because the original setup was like two seats, acoustic set, and they were like, we could do full band, and I'm like, alright, let's roll.
01:39:42.000Carter's been overtime on it, but we'll get it done.
01:39:43.000I was gonna say, are you producing or is Carter?
01:39:46.000Carter will be here for the after show.
01:40:41.000Alright, T-Rex Pet Shop says, You know we're winning when the news lies about a Kansas Chiefs fan calling a kid racist, but he ends up being Native American.
01:42:26.000And that's why, I don't know the history, but something like often the Europeans conquered, and I think with the Maori it was like a ceasefire.
01:42:34.000Yeah, the British were trying to take over New Zealand, they just couldn't really.
01:42:37.000Yeah, the Maori warriors were just like, ain't gonna happen.
01:42:40.000The other thing too with the removal of Indian names and Indian symbols in America, with all of that removal.
01:42:48.000And what's happening is that is basically going to spell the erasure of Indian culture from Mainstream culture, because we're not seeing a whole bunch of, you know, indigenous Native American culture coming up.
01:43:01.000We're just destroying what has been there representing them.
01:44:08.000And so with what we're doing with the coffee shop, I'm like, we want to have this strip in Martinsburg be all of these parallel economy businesses.
01:44:15.000We got to figure out how to ramp that up.
01:46:07.000DMZ Pro says, Hey Tim, are these late night shows like Kimmel really getting millions of views on their YouTube videos in a day, or could the numbers be sus?
01:46:18.000And so the way it works is, when you go to YouTube, like, like, open a private tab and open up YouTube, and then guess what you're gonna see.
01:46:33.000Yeah, and it's such BS because if you, like, this is proof of, in my opinion, narrative collusion with big tech.
01:46:40.000I mean, there's a bunch of hard reasons, but come on.
01:46:43.000You have, with Patrick Bet-David, with Steven Crowder, with Timcast IRL, insert any other organically grown podcast or show, And the math is simple.
01:46:56.000If someone made a show from the ground up on their own without external support, it must be good.
01:47:01.000If you are dumping millions into maintaining this show that is losing ratings, it must be bad.
01:47:06.000So why then does YouTube put them on the front page?
01:47:08.000Well, and again, because if you remember that during the writer strike, all of them went off air and nobody noticed for a while.
01:47:42.000I'm gonna say I think the views may be fake in some capacity or they're just like those websites where it says 25 photos of celebrities and you've never seen and then when you load it, there's 800 ads.
01:47:54.000And then whenever you want to see the next photo, you got to click next.
01:47:56.000That's probably what they're the kind of views they're getting.
01:47:58.000I get all my news from the Postmillennial, but after that I get all my news from those click pages.
01:48:04.000I'm the guy who clicks on all of them.
01:49:22.000And so, yeah, they might be on in whatever Nielsen X number of households, but that doesn't mean that, to Gates's point, okay, you're on in the household, but those households aren't necessarily paying attention.
01:49:33.000Whereas a show like this, a show like Human Events, a show like War Room, you've got to search that out.
01:49:40.000And so you're going to be actively listening to it.
01:49:42.000This, of course, by the way, comes up a ton in Uh, podcast advertising where they say, okay, it may not be as many viewers or listeners as cable news, but they're more engaged, which means your conversion rate is going to be higher.
01:49:53.000So that's, that's another big component is, uh, when people went and we see this with our own sales with Casper, it's the sales are way higher doing direct shout outs as opposed to buying ads.
01:50:33.000And the first question is, why did you fake being in quarantine during COVID?
01:50:38.000Were you told, like first question, then whatever he says, I, Direct an answer, and then I'd say, were you directed to do this by your superiors at CNN?
01:51:12.000Yeah, I feel like we need more specific questions for this guy, otherwise he's gonna give a lot of skating on the edge and general answers.
01:51:18.000Right, so I get that he wants to be like, oh, I'm just a fair guy now, I'm not in the tank.
01:51:23.000Okay, that's fine, but you need to actually come clean about all the things that you did.
01:51:28.000But if he doesn't come clean, he gets enough sympathy and potentially he could go back in.
01:51:32.000Because that's ultimately what he really wants.
01:51:50.000We got Stronger Than Stone says, I respect you, Tim, but I really wish you would lay off the UFO stuff.
01:51:54.000It's fine if you don't believe it, but please don't insult your fans that do.
01:51:58.000If you took any of that as an insult to people who believe in UFOs, you have internalized that and you are, it's something inside you, man.
01:52:30.000My thing is that the Biden administration, rather than being like, we're gonna give this to you in honesty and transparency, this stuff that's going on that you guys have been raising questions about, they're using it to cover up their own scheme.
01:52:39.000And that's what's cheapening the experience.
01:53:22.000And then James Cameron came out and started yelling at them.
01:53:24.000He said, this is a cover-up operation.
01:53:26.000Well, cause they had heard an explosion on Sunday and they reported to the Coast Guard.
01:53:30.000It was like the Navy had heard an explosion.
01:53:32.000They told the Coast Guard that they'd heard an explosion.
01:53:34.000I remember saying that because I said, look, given where it is in the water, we would have heard that if this thing exploded.
01:53:40.000So me, you know, I wasn't willing to go there yet to say that the Coast Guard and the Navy would be in on it.
01:53:47.000Even I, even I couldn't believe that our military and our Coast Guard All right, Logic Plank says, we need to start emailing advertisers who work with woke companies and ask them how they feel about working with Marxist terrorists.
01:54:11.000What would be effective, and I'm not advocating necessarily right now, Would be if you emailed companies and asked them why they were advertising on Disney.
01:54:21.000Disney is fascist and supports the murder of Muslims.
01:54:26.000And then Disney's gonna, you know, uh-oh.
01:54:30.000A big brand is gonna be like, we don't want to be associated with Islamophobia.
01:54:33.000Well, Disney thanked the security forces that are... I mean, the things they're doing to the Uyghur Muslims are nightmarish.
01:54:56.000The CCP's stated goal in Xinjiang, which by the way, they were doing this to an extent and are doing this to an extent in Tibet as well, which the left used to understand.
01:55:07.000But yeah, they're sending as many Han Chinese there.
01:55:10.000They're making incentives, financial incentives.
01:55:13.000So I've been to Xinjiang, I've been to Tibet.
01:55:16.000Um, that you have, you were financially incentivized to go in there.
01:55:19.000And even when I was there, uh, over a decade ago, you could tell that there were these huge areas of the city that were all for Han Chinese.
01:57:53.000Pay for a product that you like and the company runs itself.
01:57:56.000And then I love the idea that even if you don't want to pay, you can still use it and still read information and still post and do whatever you want.
01:58:03.000I think Elon's got some pretty great ideas.
01:58:11.000In fact, he should, he said, everyone's going to know the companies that did this.
01:58:14.000Well, replace the ads that they were supposed to buy with a message saying this company has pulled off ads boycotting the political opinions of people on this platform.
01:58:30.000You can get real hard with it, actually.
01:58:32.000I think the reason why Media Matters went after Elon, I think this is actually fairly obvious.
01:58:36.000Elon announced that from the river to the sea would be banned, that decolonize would be banned, and then immediately Media Matters goes after him, and if you look at the tweets from Media Matters employees, they are anti-Israel.
01:59:10.000And these are the people who then, you know, a bunch of Democratic congressmen like Adam Schiff and Dan Goldman signed on to a letter to Twitter and to Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino talking about how concerned they were about hate speech on the platform and what else.

02:02:36.000Jack probably sells like 10,000 pillows every time he comes on this show.
02:02:40.000You know, it's actually funny because when we look at the numbers, so Lindell was on the other day and he was like, he was like, it was like, oh yeah, Promo Code Tanya, that's your wife, right?
02:02:47.000I was like, I was like, yeah, he's like, he's like, because, you know, I see those numbers come in and she's actually like, Mike, you don't need to, you don't need to continue.
02:02:55.000And then Kyle Rittenhouse, because he's got his book, which by the way, so we've got the promo codes.
