Tonight, CNN is hosting Donald Trump at a town hall style event that we have to absolutely watch and probably make fun of. We'll be covering the town hall, but first, we'll be talking about some news from the past week, including the fact that a jury member in the Rachel Maddow case was a fan of the show, and a man who was kicked off the jury because he watched 4 episodes of Rachel. And we'll also talk about the Bud Light boycott, which is becoming more and more toxic.
00:00:26.000Now, I don't know that we're going to make fun of Trump.
00:00:27.000We'll probably make fun of the questions and then probably answer them or actually ask better questions, but we're going to be covering this and commenting on CNN's town hall with Donald Trump.
00:00:36.000I think it's very important to break down, fact check, and call out any lies.
00:01:02.000First, it was because apparently some guy, a horrible man, ran a Russian social media account where he posted clips from one episode of our show, which constitutes a fan, I suppose.
00:01:13.000Then we get this other juror in the E. Jean Carroll story, the rape trial for Trump, who apparently watched four episodes of the show as well, and they said that constitutes him being a fan, and for that, he should be disqualified from the jury.
00:01:29.000They also called me an extremist, a conspiracy theorist, and all the other nonsense.
00:01:32.000But I do think it's fascinating that they would go that far.
00:02:56.000Head over to TimCast.com, become a member by clicking join us.
00:02:59.000We're going to have a members-only uncensored show coming up for all of you.
00:03:03.000It's going to be a whole lot of fun tonight after we wrap up this town hall because we do have a lot of news that we're probably not going to be able to get into.
00:03:09.000So smash the like button, share the show with your friends.
00:03:11.000Joining us tonight to talk about this and so much more and to comment humorously on the town hall is Carpe Donctum.
00:04:51.000I certainly don't think he'll change his tune on that, but I can't imagine it.
00:04:55.000I'm sorry, I'm just going to mute that until they actually start getting ready, because I don't need to hear from those people.
00:05:01.000I don't want to hear what CNN has to say.
00:05:03.000But the other big story, as I suppose we're waiting for the town hall to start, was that Donald Trump was found liable in that rape trial, I guess.
00:05:12.000And the crazy thing is, we talked about this last night, one of the jurors apparently was a fan of the show, and he still, they were unanimous, they unanimously found that Trump was liable for sexual abuse of this woman.
00:05:45.000Last year, New York passed a law saying that people who are assaulted can sue the people who assaulted them forever or something like that.
00:05:54.000And apparently they went on CNN and said, like, we helped get this law passed.
00:05:57.000So they helped make a law that says they can sue a guy.
00:06:00.000This is why I'm saying Trump's going to be convicted of the tax fraud or whatever they're calling it, improper business filings.
00:08:44.000Your first term ended with a deadly riot at the Capitol, and you still have not publicly acknowledged the police involvement in the election results.
00:08:52.000Why should Americans put you back in the White House?
00:08:57.000We got 12 million more votes than we had in, as you know, in 2016.
00:09:01.000I actually say we did far better in that election.
00:09:05.000Got the most that anybody's ever gotten as a sitting president of the United States.
00:09:09.000I think that when you look at that result and when you look at what happened during that election, unless you're a very stupid person, you see what happened.
00:09:20.000A lot of the people in this audience, and maybe a couple that don't, but most people understand what happened.
00:09:26.000It was a rigged election, and it's a shame that we had to go through it.
00:11:24.000If you look at what happened in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, if you look at what happened in Detroit, Michigan, if you look at what happened, he just I know this is frustrating because it's just three years old.
00:11:35.000You're baiting him to talk about something that nobody wants to hear.
00:11:37.000He'd look better if he just stayed on topic.
00:14:47.000I've been to many of your rallies and seen it up close, which raised a lot of questions about the influence that we saw that you had on them on January 6th.
00:14:54.000This is the whole plan for the town hall.
00:14:57.000Do you have any regrets about your actions on January 6th?
00:15:01.000Well, you know, January 6 was a go back to it.
00:15:04.000But January 6 had to do with the fact that hundreds of thousands of people and you don't see the pictures very often.
00:15:11.000A lot of the people here probably were there January 6.
00:15:14.000It was the largest crowd I've ever spoken to.
00:15:17.000That was prior to the walk down to the Capitol building.
00:15:21.000I don't think and I've spoken to Hundreds of thousands of people.
00:15:24.000I've never spoken to a crowd as large as this.
00:15:27.000And that was because they thought the election was rigged.
00:15:57.000The big problems was that Nancy Pelosi, crazy Nancy, as I affectionately call her, Crazy Nancy Pelosi and the mayor of Washington were in charge, as you know, of security.
00:16:08.000I'm not sure what he's supposed to do, though, because they're going to just keep hitting him, and he can keep pivoting.
00:17:22.000When they went to the Capitol, and they were breaking into the Capitol, smashing windows, injuring police officers, why did it take you three hours to tell them to go home?
00:18:58.000It was taken down or it wasn't reported.
00:18:59.000But when it was clear to you that they were not being peaceful, you saw them rushing the Capitol, breaking windows, they were hitting officers with flagpoles, tasing them, beating them up.
00:19:09.000When it was clear they weren't being peaceful, Why did you wait three hours to tell them to leave the Capitol?
00:20:08.000Nancy Pelosi did not request peace and security.
00:20:10.000They took that down, and you know, to this day, it hasn't been put up.
00:20:14.000And the reason is it's so good and so conclusive that all of this nonsense and all of the heads of millions of dollars that have been spent Or just wiped away with this one.
00:20:46.000I think the reason the timeline is so critical here, because going back to your influence, in that three hours, over 140 officers were injured that day.
00:20:55.000And a person named Ashley Babbitt was killed.
00:21:15.000And he went on television to brag about the fact that he killed her.
00:21:20.000The officer was not bragging about the fact that he killed her.
00:21:22.000But one person who was at the Capitol that day, as you know, was your vice president, Mike Pence, who says that you endangered his life on that day.
00:22:20.000But the lawyers were wrong, because right after the election, they all met the rhinos and the Democrats, and they worked out a plan to make sure that future vice presidents don't do.
00:22:56.000They convinced him he didn't and it was a horrible thing for our country.
00:23:00.000If you would've sent those votes back to Georgia, Pennsylvania, and other states, Wisconsin, which if you look at Wisconsin, they virtually admitted now that the election was rigged.
00:23:31.000I should note that your campaign paid for a recount in Wisconsin.
00:23:34.000It actually had more votes for President Biden by the end of it, but I want to move on to Wayne Beyer.
00:23:38.000He's a retired attorney from North Carolina.
00:23:39.000I heard the last word, never moving on.
00:23:40.000So many illegal votes were cast in Wisconsin, and if you look in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, they had so many illegal votes, they didn't even know what to do with them.
00:25:30.000Mr. President, one of the people who was convicted was a former policeman, but he was convicted of attacking a police officer, I should note.
00:25:37.000But when you said you are considering pardoning a large portion— What?
00:25:40.000of those charged with crimes on January 6th.
00:25:42.000Does that include the four Proud Boys members who were charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy?
00:25:47.000I don't know. I'd have to look at their case.
00:25:49.000But I will say, in Washington, D.C., you cannot get a fair trial. You cannot.
00:25:54.000Just like in New York City, you can't get a fair trial.
00:28:11.000What kind of a woman meets somebody and brings them up?
00:28:14.000And within minutes, you're playing hanky panky in a dressing room.
00:28:19.000I don't know if she was married then or not.
00:28:21.000John Johnson, I feel sorry for you, John Johnson.
00:28:23.000Mr. President, can I... I know you're recounting what she said, but... I know you're recounting what she said, but I like it.
00:28:31.000Just so you understand, if I was walking in... Because I was very famous then, and I owned the Plaza Hotel right next door and I owned buildings around it.
00:30:33.000I can take it back if you'd like to, but if you're a famous person, if you're a star, and I'm not referring to myself, I'm saying people that are famous, people that are stars, people that are rich, people that are powerful, they tend to do pretty well in a lot of different ways, okay?
00:30:51.000And you would like me to take that back?
00:30:53.000I can't take it back because it happens to be silver.
00:30:55.000I said it's been true for one million years, approximately a million years, perhaps a little bit longer than that.
00:32:59.000And it hasn't stopped because people are paying now for bacon and for eggs
00:33:04.000and for the two and three times what it was just a little while ago.
00:33:08.000We created the greatest economy in history.
00:33:11.000A big part of that economy was I get got you the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country, bigger than the Reagan cuts, bigger than anything.
00:33:20.000And also, Caitlin, also, as you know, we got the biggest regulation and regulatory cuts.
00:35:57.000And I don't believe they're going to do a default, because I think the Democrats will absolutely cave, because you don't want to have that happen.
00:36:06.000But it's better than what we're doing right now, because we're spending money like drunken sailors.
00:36:11.000So just to be clear, Mr. President, you think the U.S.
00:36:13.000should default if the White House does not agree?
00:36:16.000It's like they come in from being out, and then they go out and party.
00:38:00.000This is a bit of a pivot, but with gun violence and mass shootings in the news cycle recently, I'm worried that state governments and the federal government are going to act to repress gun rights.
00:38:08.000Under your administration, you instructed the Department of Justice and the ATF to ban bump stocks.
00:38:14.000If elected president again, how would you act not only to defend our Second Amendment rights, but to restore rights that have been taken from us by you, such as, by example, recently the ATF's ruling on the pistol stabilizing braces?
00:38:25.000Yeah, as you know, the bump stocks are actually a very unimportant thing.
00:38:28.000And NRA, I went with them and they said, It doesn't mean anything.
00:38:32.000Actually, all they do is teach you how to shoot very inaccurately.
00:41:03.000I appreciate you answering this question this evening.
00:41:06.000How do you plan to appeal to women voters in New Hampshire who are concerned about the Dobbs decision and how states may change their laws?
00:41:13.000It's such a great question and it was such a great victory and people are starting to understand it now.
00:41:20.000You know that they wanted to bring it back to the states, but that was probably the least important part of that victory.
00:41:25.000Getting rid of Roe v. Wade was an incredible thing for pro-life because it gave pro-life something to negotiate with.
00:41:33.000Pro-life had absolutely nothing being stuck in Roe v. Wade to negotiate with.
00:41:38.000And now what's happening, and I see it all over, deals are being made, deals are going to be made.
00:41:43.000And, look, everybody that was president wanted to get rid and tried to get rid of Roe v. Wade.
00:42:15.000I think it I think it's frankly important to do that.
00:42:18.000But a lot of people are, you know, against that relatively small, relatively small number.
00:42:23.000But the way the way I look, I think it's very important to say this.
00:42:27.000I consider the other side to be radical because the other side under Roe v. Wade and other things, the other side, they're radical because they will Remember the debate with Hillary Clinton, they said, rip the baby out of the womb at the end of the ninth month.
00:42:40.000They will kill the baby in the ninth month.
00:42:44.000If you look at that crazy governor of Virginia from the former governor, where he said, no, the baby will be born and then we'll decide, essentially, whether or not to execute the baby.
00:42:53.000But Mr. President, can we talk about what you would do?
00:42:56.000It's not the pro-life people that are radical.
00:42:58.000I was going to say, he needs to bring that up, and then he did.
00:44:12.000And because of what I've done, we now have a great negotiating ability.
00:44:16.000That's what I do in life, I negotiate.
00:44:18.000We have a great negotiating ability, and I think we're going to be able to get something done.
00:44:21.000But what do you mean negotiating ability?
00:44:22.000Because the question that Republicans have, and some of your allies on Capitol Hill say that they want to introduce legislation when it comes to banning abortion.
00:44:30.000If they send it to your desk, would you sign it?
00:44:52.000And I was even I was so honored to have done it.
00:44:55.000We are in a very good negotiating position right now, only because of what I was able to do.
00:45:00.000And remember that he's not going Again, you talk about radicalism.
00:45:04.000People that will kill a baby in the ninth month, or the eighth month, or the seventh month, or after the baby is born, they're the radicals, not the pro-electors.
00:45:13.000I just want to give you one more chance, though, because you did not answer whether or not you've signed a federal abortion ban or how many weeks into pregnancy you believe Yeah, but I've given you the answer probably four times already.
00:45:29.000I'm looking at a solution that's going to work.
00:45:34.000You have people on both sides of an issue.
00:45:36.000But we are now in a very strong position, pro-life people are in a strong position to make a deal that's going to be good and going to be satisfactory for them.
00:45:45.000If you weren't able to get rid of, you wouldn't even be having a discussion, if you weren't able to get rid of Roe v. Wade, which put pro-life in a dead position, a horrible position.
00:45:54.000They could kill the baby at any time they wanted to, but we did something that nobody thought was doable.
00:46:01.000And other Republican presidents, and others by the way, they wanted to get it out.
00:46:05.000They also wanted to bring it back to the states, but bringing it back to the states is a less important issue than the issue that we just talked about.
00:46:10.000But that's why it's the question about a federal abortion ban.
00:46:45.000That's one of the reasons he probably kept filibustering.
00:46:48.000With the abortion thing, I was like, he's got to hit at how these states are enacting restrictionless Outright abortion at nine months, viability, all of that stuff.
00:46:57.000Because most Americans find that completely unreasonable.
00:47:01.000And then I think Trump's got some really great stuff going on where he's like, well, I'm not president!
00:47:18.000When we had Lance from the Surf's On last week, and we do this a lot, a lot of people get mad, they're like, why wasn't, you know, we had Destiny on, why wasn't Tim drilling Destiny and going crazy?
00:47:27.000Half, half of the time, like sometimes, they'll say something that is wrong, and I'll be like, no, no, no, that's incorrect, you can't say that.
00:47:33.000Sometimes they'll be like, I believe X because of this reason, and I'll go, okay.
00:47:37.000Like, you're allowed to have a moral position and an opinion.
00:47:40.000I can't be like, your opinion is wrong!
00:49:13.000But I think conservative viewers tend to want a moderator who is going to keep the conversation going and who isn't there to just fact check.
00:49:21.000Whereas MSNBC CNN tends to staff people who are there to fact check everyone involved in debates.
00:49:27.000I had a professor when I was at SMU who did a study on this who said, you know, You find that left-leaning mainstream media, they spend a lot of time saying, well, actually that's not correct.
00:49:38.000Whereas when you're on Fox or a different network, it tends to be more just about making sure that you're hearing from enough people that are actually sort of holding the true position of a moderator.
00:49:49.000Well, I think they also want to have a woman on there so that it can be this combative thing that they can say, oh, you know, look at how dismissive he is of the moderator.
00:49:59.000You know, she's asking all these really good questions and he won't answer them.
00:50:18.000They'd be pretty cheap right now, I think.
00:50:20.000Yeah, I think, I think they're like eight grand for 30 seconds.
00:50:23.000You know how with like NPR, if they're doing a story on something, they have to occasionally say like, just in full transparency, you know, Apple is a sponsor of NPR or whatever.
00:50:31.000CNN would have to be like, when they report on you, just to be clear, Tim Pool is a sponsor.
00:50:36.000Welcome back to CNN's Republican Presidential Town Hall with former President Donald Trump.
00:50:42.000President Trump, I'd like you to meet Jennifer Simmons.
00:50:44.000She is a stay-at-home mom and former town selectman from Windham.
00:50:48.000She's Republican and she voted for you in 2020.
00:50:50.000Jennifer, what's your question tonight?
00:52:23.000When it comes to big questions about what your immigration policy would look like if you are reelected, Some of your Republican rivals have criticized you for not fulfilling the promises that you made on the campaign trail, like finishing the border wall.
00:52:34.000So how did voters know that you would get those done if you're re-elected?
00:55:49.000She's a Republican, this will be the first election that she has voted in.
00:55:52.000What's your question for the President, Kaitlin?
00:55:54.000Hello President Trump, thank you so much for coming.
00:55:57.000The current administration has made it clear that we should continue to provide military equipment to Ukraine so that they can defend themselves.
00:56:05.000Do you support this decision and how would you deal with the increasing threat posed by Vladimir Putin?
00:57:05.000So we're at 170, let's say, and there are 20.
00:57:10.000You don't have to know too much about history to realize or geography to realize that.
00:57:15.000They're a little bit more affected than we are, okay?
00:57:18.000So, they've got to put up a lot more money, because they're taking advantage of us like every other country did.
00:57:23.000That's why I ended NAFTA and replaced it with the USMCA in Mexico.
00:57:27.000But on this issue, Mr. President, I should know, I don't know any Democrats who have said they don't believe Putin would have been invaded if you were president, but her question is, would you continue to give Ukraine money and weapons if you're elected?
00:57:39.000So she remembers this girl's question, but not the other ones.
00:57:42.000President Zelensky because as you know he backed me up with the with the phony impeachment impeachment hoax number one when he said The president didn't do anything wrong.
01:00:37.000Do you believe that he is a war criminal?
01:00:44.000Do you believe that Putin is a war criminal?
01:00:47.000He's responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians.
01:00:49.000Well, I think this, I think it's something that should not be discussed now.
01:00:52.000It should be discussed later, because right now we have to get a war.
01:00:55.000If you say he's a war criminal, it's going to be a lot tougher to make a deal to get this stuff.
01:00:59.000Because if he's going to be a war criminal where people are going to go and grab him and execute him, he's going to fight a lot harder than he's fighting, you know, under the other circumstance.
01:01:09.000That's something to be discussed at a later date.
01:01:11.000Isn't it important to call it what it is?
01:03:03.000She also wants to hurt, hurt him with conservatives because if he's on Team Ukraine, that hurts him with lots of conservatives.
01:03:13.000Before it comes back, I want to just address the election thing.
01:03:17.000So, as many people are pointing out, everybody wants to say that the election was rigged.
01:03:21.000If you're talking about the Democrats changed rules so they could get universal mail-in voting, they could go to nursing homes, they could ballot chase, ballot harvest, and all of these things that were deemed legal by the courts, I agree.
01:03:40.000But when so if you're saying that's what you mean by rigged, I get it.
01:03:43.000And you had that article in Time magazine.
01:03:45.000But what we're what I'm trying to make sure we're not talking about is the idea that like China was sending fake ballots, that the machines were printing fake things or anything like that.
01:03:53.000I think the Democrats outplayed the Republicans heavily exploiting COVID.
01:03:58.000And that's what got Biden these votes.
01:04:01.000When Trump starts drifting into that, which people don't understand, and he's like, ah, it's all rigged, ah, it's all... He's talking about the past.
01:04:09.000He's not talking about what you can expect from him.
01:04:11.000He's not telling the people what he's going to give you if you vote for him.
01:04:14.000And I think that's what they want to get out of him.
01:04:15.000They want to push him in that direction because it hurts him in the polls.
01:04:46.000So I just want to say, man, When Donald Trump came out and said, we are going to start ballot harvesting and ballot chasing, that gave me hope.
01:04:53.000Because it's like, ah, he understands what they did.
01:04:55.000They wrote an article explaining what they did.
01:04:58.000People went to nursing homes, and this is all legal.
01:05:21.000I mean, I think that's been a true of the Democratic Party for some time.
01:05:24.000They are good at working on the ground to get what they want.
01:05:27.000I think what bothers me about this whole thing is that the mainstream media opinion writers already have submitted their pieces talking about how great Caitlyn is doing tonight.
01:05:40.000Welcome back to CNN's Republican Presidential Town Hall with former President Trump.
01:05:43.000President Trump, we have a lot more voters questions I should note in here in New Hampshire to get to, but I also want to talk about some of the other investigations that you're facing.
01:05:51.000We talked about others at the top, but one of those is the Special Counsel's investigation into classified documents that were found at Mar-a-Lago.
01:05:58.000Why did you take those documents with you when you left the White House?
01:06:00.000I had every right to under the Presidential Records Act.
01:06:03.000You have the Presidential Records Act.
01:06:04.000I was there, and I took what I took, and it gets declassified.
01:06:09.000Biden, on the other hand, he has 1,850 boxes.
01:06:12.000He had boxes sent to Chinatown, Chinatown, where they don't speak even English in that Chinatown we're talking about.
01:13:13.000Well, they were clearly concerned enough they recorded the call, and I should note that of course— This was a call that was made to question the results of election.
01:13:22.000And we have—and when we can't make a call to question election results, then this country ought to just forget about it.
01:13:29.000You weren't just questioning the election results.
01:14:02.000I'm not for mandates or government interference in private business, but I've seen Republicans going after us, like DeSantis, after Disney.
01:14:09.000What would you do as president to protect us from government interference?
01:14:12.000Well, I'm the one that really wants to protect you.
01:14:15.000All of these fake investigations of me are about election interference.
01:14:19.000They think because I'm leading Biden by 11 points, seven points, nine points, I'm leading to sanctimonious by a lot, by 40 points or 45 points.
01:14:29.000I think you ought to just relax and take it easy and think about the future, because right now his future is not looking so good.
01:14:36.000We are really putting it to Biden, but he's putting it to himself because the economy stinks, inflation is horrible, and the border is a disaster.
01:14:45.000And by the way, the way he got out of Afghanistan was the single most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
01:14:56.000While we are not a fan of that, this is a fundamental question for you.
01:17:35.000Do you think that when it comes time for the Republican primary, the other Republicans will continue to bring this up because they know it hurts Trump?
01:18:20.000There were a bunch of federal prosecutions over voter fraud, sure.
01:18:23.000But I don't think it was in the tens of millions are significant enough to have as big of an impact as people want.
01:18:27.000I think what people are thinking of when they say rigged is that Democrats changed the rules Anyway, I don't even want to get wrapped up in this.
01:18:35.000They changed the rules, but sometimes they didn't abide by the rules at all.
01:18:39.000Like in Pennsylvania, they did things that were actually illegal for them to do, and they didn't have the authority to do it.
01:19:12.000I think when you look at what's going on in New York, you can see it's pure tribalism.
01:19:16.000But I think you can just see very obviously why CNN kept asking that question.
01:19:22.000They want the soundbite because it hurts Republicans.
01:19:25.000And when I hear him say that over and over again, and he won't let it go, and they know they can get him on it, I'm like, I see DeSantis going up.
01:20:30.000The juror was a 31-year-old man who said he lived in the Bronx for all his life.
01:20:34.000During jury selection, he said that he tended to avoid news but listened to independent podcasts every now and then, and listed one example.
01:20:42.000The original transcript inaccurately captured the podcast's title as Temple.
01:20:49.000Carroll, the writer who filed the lawsuit accusing Mr. Trump of rape, later learned through news reports that the anonymous juror identified only as Juror 77 had actually said he listens to Tim Pool.
01:21:25.000And I wonder if that's actually defamatory in that you can argue things about TimCast's IRL, the show y'all are watching now, because it's been around for years and has been in the news several times.
01:22:30.000It says, during the confidential questioning, Juror 77 said that Mr. Poole, quote, is like middle, adding that the podcaster gets different political figures or just celebrities like that on the left, on the right.
01:22:42.000Juror 77 also described the podcast as balanced.
01:22:50.000This is a guy who apparently said that he's only seen a few episodes, and it may be because we've had musicians, we've had people like Ethan Supley.
01:23:44.000Carroll said that the juror appeared to get his news from a single, really virulently extremist podcast.
01:23:50.000It's amazing, but I can sit here being like, Trump is wrong about the fraud narrative, and I'm pro-choice, and they're like, he's an extremist.
01:23:58.000But you see what they're trying to do.
01:24:01.000They want to create a bifurcation between me and regular people because they don't want regular people to hear honest commentary from honest people.
01:24:09.000And, well, I mean, I'll leave it at that.
01:24:26.000I'm really kind of curious why this is actually a story.
01:24:30.000Why is it that they ran that story about the Allen, Texas shooter who posted four clips of me, and then in the same week, they're like, a right-wing extremist news source.
01:24:53.000I mean, I think it's because you take their audience and also you actually do have a lot of moderate views, unlike both mainstream Fox News and all the mainstream left-wing publications.
01:25:06.000Because there's no other reason to say, oh, did you know there was a juror that wasn't dismissed but he admitted that he watched this show four times?
01:25:51.000And the people who watch this show probably already agree with me when we say these people are in a cult.
01:25:55.000Because you can have a leftist, like Lance from the Serfs on this show, overtly say he's pro-abortion at any time, for any period, for any reason.
01:26:04.000Matt Binder, a leftist, say the exact same thing.
01:26:07.000Sitting next to Seamus Coghlan, a Catholic conservative pro-lifer who wants abortion banned outright, and me, saying, well, I think there should be some restrictions, but maybe only after viability, which is the middle, and the person on the left says, you're all far right.
01:26:22.000Like, if my opinion, and, you know, is the average opinion based on polling, Then what are they talking about?
01:26:51.000Well, I think I think Patrick David has way more people across.
01:26:56.000Because what they really want to do is silence everybody, not just you, but silence everybody that you would ever have on and make sure they can put those people into a box.
01:28:43.000They're debunking themselves, especially when we have Luke Rudkowski on this show for seven months at a time, and people say he has Trump derangement syndrome.
01:28:51.000Or Ian Crosland, who says some of the craziest leftist stuff half the time, and then rolls 20s the other half.
01:29:01.000You know, look, for legal reasons, I'll say this is besmirching my good name, and I am concerned about reputational damage, which we'll be pursuing.
01:29:11.000But part of me is like, okay, dude, make me more famous.
01:29:13.000My name's all over the press now, and people are wondering what this is all about.
01:29:17.000I love the New York Times writing about the culture war.
01:29:29.000And they always tell you, like, you get into a car accident, don't say you're fine because you don't actually know what injuries you might have.
01:29:36.000And there's so many stories where someone gets like T-boned and they're like, well, I feel OK.
01:30:07.000The things they've said, like when Keith Olbermann's tweeting at me, and like this Alan Texas thing comes up, I'm like, literally don't care what these people think at all.
01:31:46.000So, you know, for those that didn't hear what we were talking about in the previous segment, just about how the New York Times and Politico are smearing my good name and lying about this show, I don't know how much it matters.
01:32:23.000Well, and they'll be losing liberals in New York City way faster if they don't get it turned around soon, because New York City is just absolute garbage.
01:32:33.000Yeah, well, this is what I'm saying, everybody.
01:32:34.000With this story about Bud Light losing again and again and again, it's been over a month.
01:32:40.000It was April 1st that Dylan Mulvaney did this TikTok, and now, May 10th, Anheuser-Busch is still spiraling because of this.
01:33:58.000It reminds me of, didn't cigarette companies get in trouble at one point because they were advertising, like, on children's toys or whatever?
01:34:06.000Oh, Joe Camel, and it was too nice, yeah.
01:34:10.000And then they had to modify their branding.
01:34:12.000I think with Bud Light, they They didn't think about the audience in the consequences.
01:34:18.000They only thought, we can capture young drinkers.
01:34:21.000Maybe they aren't drinking, maybe when they go to drink, they will start drinking Bud Light.
01:34:24.000They didn't think about the fact that it's completely inappropriate for a lot of reasons.
01:34:28.000And they only put themselves and their own ideology first.
01:34:31.000I thought it was funny this Washington Post writer said, the confusing thing about the campaign was Dylan Mulvaney's faux Audrey Hepburn act, like, caters to no one.
01:34:41.000It's like, Dylan Mulvaney's audience are all under 21, so they're not buying beer, and then the rest of the audience is over 50 and they're drinking wine.
01:35:26.000There's so many other products that like... Overall, globally, Anheuser-Busch, I think they said it was like around 1% decline in general sales.
01:35:37.000But we're talking about American cultural influence.
01:35:40.000If Anheuser-Busch says we were abandoning U.S.
01:35:42.000markets with Bud Light because it's a failed brand, we won.
01:36:39.000But it is interesting that it was a boycott that was effective partially because people were already aware of what else was under the umbrella, right?
01:36:45.000Like if you boycotted, I don't know, a shoe company, right?
01:36:49.000If they own four other shoe companies, you're not really hurting them.
01:36:52.000Whereas people were able to identify, oh, these are all Bud Lightwear.
01:37:41.000I think, I'm seeing people online, there was one story in Newsweek where a couple got attacked and they say it was because they were buying Bud Light and the person like, they got into a fight over it or something like that.
01:37:59.000Bud Light, brand is everything, and Bud Light is synonymous with being a homosexual.
01:38:06.000I am not saying that to be mean or funny or derisive.
01:38:09.000I am saying that as a fact marketing statement that if you because of Dylan Mulvaney's notoriety and the backlash it is now perceivably associating you with being a homosexual.
01:38:24.000There was a video where a cast members in the Book of Mormon crack beers in like Times Square or something and say, Hey Dylan!
01:39:06.000And again, I'm not saying to be derisive, I'm saying the brand has associated itself with that.
01:39:10.000Because of the hyper-partisan nature of the sales of this beer, you will be perceived as being a supporter of LGBT groups, as left-wing, or as a gay man yourself, if you're drinking the beer.
01:39:21.000There's a political association now with it.
01:39:23.000I feel like the only real save for them is to simply be honest.
01:39:30.000Be honest with what the whole tactic was, and maybe issue an apology.
01:39:35.000But it kind of feels like after you were saying that, it just made me feel like, Well, a tactic that you could potentially imagine is, now you could say that you're discriminating, and if you boycott and discriminate against Bud Light, you are this.
01:39:50.000You are homophobic, you're transphobic, you're a white supremacist.
01:39:54.000They don't... Bud Light does not want that, because that just pushes them to one market.
01:39:59.000It may now be the case that Bud Light's only opportunity is to pander to the left.
01:40:05.000But then they lose all their market share because they have to double down.
01:40:08.000If they came out right away and just said, we're really sorry about this campaign, we didn't realize it would be so divisive, please accept our apologies, and they just did that, I'd imagine sales would have recovered right away.
01:40:19.000But I'm telling you, I've been in these corporate executive offices during PR crises, and I know exactly what these people say.
01:40:25.000They say, listen, The people who buy your products are dumb as a box of rocks.
01:41:51.000I am curious to see what happens with the people working at Bud Light, because obviously if they have a downturn in business, I can only assume that layoffs come.
01:41:58.000I also imagine that the people who actually work in their factories or their breweries or whatever, They didn't get consulted for this move, and now their livelihoods are at risk because of one Harvard grad marketing executive, and that seems pretty terrible to me.
01:42:14.000I was just going to say, what officially happened with the CEO?
01:42:25.000We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with your friends if you really do like it, because boy, they really don't like us.
01:42:34.000Head over to TimCast.com, become a member, and Let me take this opportunity to use the negative press against us as a shameless call-out and call to action.
01:42:45.000If you want to help stick it to the liars in the corporate press who would besmirch our good name and a show that you enjoy, go to TimCast.com, click join us, become a member, and then we win.
01:42:57.000We win, they lose, they decay, cease to exist, and then in a hundred years we'll be writing their obituary.
01:43:04.000And we're gonna have a members-only show coming up at 10.10 p.m.
01:43:07.000We're gonna have call-ins from the audience, so you guys can even call into the show.
01:43:31.000I'm saying, as for this individual, this juror, we don't know who he is.
01:43:34.000And I, look, I'll say, I don't know what evidence he saw in trial that made him think Trump was liable for this, but it seems insane to me.
01:43:44.000I think the reality is, it was probably like, what was that movie where all the jurors are in the room and the one guy, he's all- 12 Angry Men.
01:43:54.000The one guy's like, I don't know, man, I watch TimCast, I'm a reasonable person, I think Trump's not liable.
01:43:59.000And then they just like, I feel like it had to be a technicality, like the law was written in such a way that there was no way to not convict.
01:44:09.000It had to be a really, really poorly written law.
01:44:12.000Yeah, he didn't get convicted of sexual abuse, he got convicted of being liable for sexual abuse.
01:44:16.000They said, if you think that Trump was physically present, then he's responsible or something.
01:44:48.000And I am nothing compared to, I am an ant.
01:44:51.000I am a zit on the ass of a mosquito compared to Donald Trump.
01:44:54.000Even in the 90s, we're talking about one of the most famous people in the world with his name on a building, and you think he's gonna walk into the Bergdorf, and nobody noticed.
01:45:54.000So, basically, there's many ways you can bring it down.
01:45:57.000National Socialism was not, uh, People will call themselves things that they're not.
01:46:03.000Antifa says that they're anti-fascist when they're like authoritarian psychopaths.
01:46:07.000So I guess you can argue that Antifa, the original anti-fascist action, was the militant wing of the Communist Party in Weimar Germany, so I get that.
01:46:14.000But the thing about National Socialists, Fascists, etc., is that these were considered the right because they were traditionalists, and the Communists were ultra-progressive.
01:46:22.000The communists wanted to purge history.
01:46:25.000The right, the various factions, wanted to preserve tradition and history.
01:46:29.000And that was the principal difference between two overtly authoritarian factions, which went on to brutally murder millions of people.
01:47:13.000There were there were people at CNN who was there was a CNN commentator contractor actually wrote a statement published Twitter saying it is wrong that CNN is doing this.
01:47:21.000You should not be platforming this man.
01:48:17.000And that's why she kept saying the same things over and over again.
01:48:20.000Every time they have a debate, that's where the moderators start from, is a list of questions that they have to ask so they can get the soundbite that they want.
01:48:30.000And then they ask it in the exact way that they need to.
01:48:32.000Look, I feel bad for that stay-at-home mom.
01:48:34.000She came in, she asked her question, a specific question about the troops, which I thought would have been an interesting answer.
01:48:39.000And to be fair, Trump and sweet, sweet Caitlyn both ignored it.
01:48:43.000Caitlyn just introduced five other questions.
01:48:45.000BushTail says Trump hit it out of the park.
01:48:47.000He talked circles around that moron sharing the stage with him and nailed answering the crowd questions.
01:48:53.000CNN embarrassed themselves with this one.
01:49:08.000Yeah, I like when he is succinct and not rattled.
01:49:14.000When he was getting rattled, you could kind of tell, especially when they were talking about the documents, that was just too much talking over one another.
01:49:20.000And really, that's the moderator's job to try and keep it from getting that way.
01:49:26.000But I really like the conversation about Ukraine, and it really made her look like, dude, she answered you, or he answered you very succinctly, several ways, and she kept going back to it.
01:49:40.000That's how you can see she's got to try and pull something out of it, otherwise she's not doing her job.
01:49:46.000I like this, because Trump gives the answers I want to hear.
01:49:56.000But when he was talking about abortion, and she's like, will you sign an abortion ban?
01:50:01.000Politicians will be like, well, you know, abortions are an interesting thing, and I think as an American, we have to... Trump said, it depends on what the deal is.
01:50:07.000Bring the deal to me, we'll negotiate, because we have negotiating power.
01:50:10.000He's like, I got Roe v. Wade overturned, now we'll bring the deal to the table, we'll see what we get.
01:51:52.000And then once he's done talking, you can say, so unlike the election thing, I would say, Mr. President, you've stated X. Please explain to the audience your views.
01:52:32.000I'm not a Trump fan, but the thing that I really appreciated from him was the thing about Ukraine when she kept saying, who do you want to win?
01:52:42.000It was such an obvious bait thing and he actually, he said it in the exact way that you would want somebody to be like, it's not about winning.
01:52:50.000It really is about people not dying anymore.
01:53:01.000It made their tactics very obvious, and it was such a virtue signal.
01:53:05.000It was like, we need to be able to put you in a camp, so you need to answer this question like I'm asking it, not the way you're asking it now.
01:53:13.000That's why she kept coming back to it.
01:54:10.000Also, can't we just be glad that, like, Ron DeSantis did lots of cool things?
01:54:13.000Let's not eviscerate all of the Republicans because, you know, you may support Trump.
01:54:18.000Let's have lots of strong people in this side of the aisle.
01:54:22.000I've said it a lot on Twitter and I keep getting, you know, attacked over it, but, like, I don't have a problem with Trump and I don't have a problem with DeSantis and I'm not sure why We have to have a problem with one or the other.
01:54:35.000No, it needs to be Trump-DeSantis 2024.
01:56:17.000I think this is something that you'll hear tomorrow a lot, which is that, oh, the right is attacking her for pushing back on Trump, and girls have such a hard time, because when they assert themselves, people say they're bossy.
01:56:28.000And I think it's important to note that, like, she didn't perform well.
01:56:32.000It's not about the fact that she's female, it's about the fact that she did not moderate this conversation.
01:56:37.000She really tried to argue her points, and in fact, she did not advance this experience for anyone, including the network she's supposed to represent.
01:56:58.000Toosnalorum says, not making every single liberal who fled a city, did mail-in voting to cast a vote, and voted locally in the place they fled to, a non... This is kind of sentence fragmenting.
01:58:46.000That's why they're going after me now, because they're like, our audience, like an urban liberal New Yorker in the Bronx will watch Timcast.
01:59:00.000You're right, because they've already lost it.
01:59:03.000Well, and when we went to Congress and Matt Gaetz was there, he was saying he'd come out here, he'd done the show, and then we went to Congress and he was like, I was amazed by how many truck drivers or waitresses or just working people were like, oh, I saw you on Tim Pool.
01:59:44.000I'm just saying like when you talk about conspiracy theories, we've never talked about conspiracy Well, the legacy media doesn't understand any of the new media at all.
01:59:53.000I mean, it's clear from the tactics that they take that they don't understand Joe Rogan, they don't understand Tim Pool, they don't understand Crowder, they don't understand whoever.
02:00:06.000They are completely living 20 years in the past and they're getting killed.
02:01:36.000And he's going to plug into your brain and then give you untold euphoric pleasures and put you into the metaverse where you experience all of the great things and you never want to leave.
02:01:46.000Like, what was it in Star Trek Generations?
02:01:53.000Yeah, but I've never seen that movie, because I'm not a Star Trek person, right?
02:01:55.000Where it's like, so, basically there's this, like, dimensional rift or something, and when you're in it, you experience ultimate happiness and you never want to leave.
02:02:04.000William Shatner has a family, and he's chopping wood in the forest.
02:02:08.000And he doesn't want to leave, and Picard's like, you have to leave, you have to leave this.
02:02:13.000I'm just speculating, I saw the cliff notes to the movie, I didn't actually watch it, Well, that's kind of like SOMA we were talking about before.
02:02:23.000Yeah, so like being happy with your servitude.
02:02:26.000Or Equilibrium, the best movie ever made.
02:02:28.000The first thing I think happens is they go to people who lose loved ones, and they say, just plug in, and we've taken the social media of your loved one and created an AI version of them.
02:02:38.000You can talk to them and ask them questions, and they're not going to want to leave.
02:02:46.000They tried taking dating away from it because dudes were, you know...
02:02:49.000Well, yeah, and then some people were let down because they kind of pulled back because it was getting a little too hot and heavy for them.
02:02:55.000But it actually started, the woman who launched it, it was because she lost her best friend or something like that.
02:03:02.000So she made a clone so she could cope with the loss, you know, so like that's where it started.
02:03:08.000And then it started turning into like a dating thing.
02:03:25.000Is, like, anything from alcohol to cannabis to long walks on the beach coping?
02:03:31.000But if you lose someone and they can't talk to you anymore, so you make a version of life where they can talk to you, are you actually letting that person go?
02:03:38.000Are you grieving the loss and accepting that they are gone?
02:03:40.000Yeah, I don't think there's a clear answer to that because in a sense I know many people who have like lost a loved one and they still speak with them in some way.
02:03:50.000So this is externalizing it in the same way that writing is externalizing your mind onto the outside world.
02:04:35.000Yeah, well I'll just say go to benjosephstuart.com, check out all the content that I make, go to my YouTube page, which is youtube.com backslash benjosephstuart, and you'll see all the mini-docs that I've been making on things like modern-day Malek and where AI is headed and why I seem to be an optimist on all of it.
02:04:54.000And we got a documentary that we're launching very soon as well.
