00:00:24 Switch. Save. Simple. Sonnet.
00:00:26 And experts are currently losing their minds over the results of the election we saw just last night.
00:00:33 These primaries, particularly with Francesca Hong, who was considered to be a 20 point favorite, getting smoked by the moderate Democrat.
00:00:44 She ends up losing narrowly. And the question now that literally all the experts, all the pollsters have is what?
00:00:51 How is it possible? Guys, the aggregate polling is insane.
00:00:55 They were putting her up nearly 20 points.
00:00:58 We saw this with Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, though he narrowly won.
00:01:03 They had his polling estimate between plus 10 and plus 20, and it's all fake.
00:01:10 Not to mention, Mike Lindell had some major polls for the primary in Minnesota, and he lost.
00:01:19 No one seems to have any idea what is going on and what is going to happen.
00:01:24 What I can say is we're seeing massive turnout from Democrats, which is interesting and does not bode well for the Republicans.
00:01:33 Currently, when you track CNN's polling data and their guru, Harry Enten, living meme, and I say that with respect, Democrats are polling rather poorly.
00:01:43 Now, don't get me wrong.
00:01:44 They're actually up.
00:01:45 They're up a few points, but they need to be historically much higher in the polls.
00:01:49 Here's what I got to say.
00:01:51 For one, ain't nobody has any idea what's going to happen.
00:01:55 We're going to watch these prediction markets swing all over the place.
00:01:58 Money will be lost.
00:02:00 Money will be made. 0.92
00:02:01 Men will cry.
00:02:02 Women will cry as well.
00:02:04 And pollsters will cry.
00:02:05 And pretty much everyone's going to be upset.
00:02:07 But I will say this.
00:02:08 If the polling is favoring Democrats by like 20 points, what does that mean for what happens in the midterms?
00:02:18 I mean, we're less than three months away.
00:02:22 Let me put it like this.
00:02:23 You get moderate Democrat, you get far lefty.
00:02:26 Far lefty is pulling 20 points up.
00:02:28 These polls are skewing so far left, it's insane.
00:02:33 Then the election happens and the moderates overperform by nearly 20 points.
00:02:40 What does that mean?
00:02:42 Well, it means something interesting going into the midterms because we've seen that
00:02:46 despite them losing in places like this, DSA members are doing decently well. They didn't
00:02:52 do well in Illinois. That was interesting. Only one made it. But New York, Colorado, Michigan,
00:02:58 these lefties are gaining ground. I think the polling is going to skew too far left.
00:03:05 I'll put it like this. There's a big difference between DSA and Democrats. So if it's a Democrat
00:03:09 versus a Democrat, I don't know what that polling means. It does skew left. I think we go to the
00:03:14 midterms, we're going to see that if Democrats are up four points in the congressional ballot
00:03:19 or the congressional polling, generic, let's just say it's not going to be 10 to 20 points
00:03:26 because that's the over progressive. But that means progressives are still putting a thumb on
00:03:30 the scale for whatever reason. So internally, Democrats, Democratic socialists are up 10 to 20
00:03:37 points. What does that mean when you include Republicans into the mix? You know, we could
00:03:41 go through all the math. I don't have the data to actually be able to go through it, but you
00:03:43 probably could figure out there is going to be a bias towards the left, the likes of which we have
00:03:48 not seen. But I'm just going to say this, my friends, ain't nobody's got any idea what's
00:03:53 about to happen. Let's start from the beginning. We got all the experts in the world losing their
00:03:57 minds because they were just so miserably wrong. Before we get started, my friends, head over to
00:04:03 timcast.com and click join now to get in the discord community to hang out with tens of
00:04:10 thousands of like-minded individuals. We can't do it without you guys. If you believe these videos
00:04:15 are good, if you believe in the work that we do, and I know that you do because you're watching a
00:04:18 political video in the summer, an off-cycle, well, I guess technically it's a cycle year, but you know,
00:04:24 before the midterm, so I appreciate that. Stand up with us. Join the work that we're doing at
00:04:30 TimCast.com. Hey, don't forget, you got to go pick up some coffee. Everybody drinks coffee.

00:04:46 You guys pick up your coffee.
00:04:48 I got to tell you, Appalachian Nights is the best coffee I've ever had.
00:04:51 I formulated it personally.
00:04:53 I did.
00:04:53 I'm slinging my kitchen and I'm mixing things together of the flavor profiles that I like.
00:04:56 And I didn't think it was going to be as big as it is, but it exploded.
00:05:01 It took off.
00:05:02 I recommend that you guys try to cast brew dot com.
00:05:05 Let's jump the news.
00:05:05 We got this from Mediaite. 0.77
00:05:07 What WTF is up with these polls?
00:05:10 Experts flummoxed by stunning 20 point misfire. 0.88
00:05:14 Well, here's the news.
00:05:15 Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong concedes after falling agonizingly short in razor thin
00:05:21 Wisconsin primary.
00:05:23 They say David Crowley narrowly defeated Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong.
00:05:28 Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive, emerged from the exceptionally close contest to claim
00:05:32 the nomination with a 3,000 vote margin.
00:05:35 Well, we actually got the, let me, where did I pull that tweet?
00:05:38 Let's see if we can.
00:05:38 Here we go.
00:05:39 Here we go.
00:05:40 David Marcus tweets, can we stop obeying the polls?
00:05:43 This is grotesque.
00:05:45 Look at this.
00:05:48 Hong from PPP, plus 18.
00:05:50 Marquette, plus 22.
00:05:51 PPP again, plus 20.
00:05:53 Impact, plus 13.
00:05:54 Marquette, plus 11.
00:05:56 Marquette, plus three, plus one.
00:05:57 Tip, plus eight, plus 13, plus two.
00:06:02 This is wild.
00:06:04 Take a look at this.
00:06:04 Are you serious?
00:06:06 NBC data guru Steve Kornacki visibly shaken by election night madness.
00:06:12 Let's roll.
00:06:17 814,000 is our new expected vote for this primary.
00:06:24 Wow.
00:06:24 Um, and I keep asking you questions, Adam.
00:06:28 I just don't have the ticker that gives me county by county what came in.
00:06:31 And it looks like he just got another significant, in the context of this, significant.
00:06:36 Yeah.
00:06:37 Is this Villis County?
00:06:39 Yeah.
00:06:39 Okay.
00:06:39 Oh, I think there was no vote there before.
00:06:41 Right.
00:06:41 That was one of the, that was one where we had, like, no vote earlier, right?
00:06:44 Yeah.
00:06:45 Okay.
00:06:46 Okay.
00:06:47 Yeah.
00:06:47 I mean, but we talked about this with, like, the small counties adding up in a close race
00:06:52 like this because there's you know he's winning more counties than her a lot of them are real
00:06:57 small but um anywhere where there's not really i think maybe the pattern here you know it's kind
00:07:06 of like where is there a population center right all right all right all right we get it we get it
00:07:10 we get it he didn't know what's going on he seemed rather speechless media reports critics were
00:07:15 baffled and lashing out wednesday at the quality of primary polling wisconsin after francesco
00:07:21 Tong lost. David Crowley. Crowley, 40, defeated her by 3,000 votes. Polling head consistently
00:07:26 rang Tong, who made headlines for past remarks about Thanksgiving. Yeah, it was literally to
00:07:31 end Thanksgiving and her proximity to whiteness. She had some story about like her kids. We call
00:07:38 it Hapa, half Asian. And she was like, oh, I'm so concerned about his proximity to whiteness 1.00
00:07:44 because he's like, what? Your kid's white, dude. Like he's mixed. You're a racist. You're so weird.
00:07:50 One poll released earlier this week showed her at 46% to Crowley's 23. 0.99
00:07:55 These people are insane.
00:07:58 Hong might come back, but what the is up with these primary polls, said Nate Silver. 0.51
00:08:04 I love it.
00:08:05 Check this out.
00:08:07 The Current, when he posted this, Crowley was at 40%.
00:08:10 Look at these polls.
00:08:12 State Navigate, 44.
00:08:14 Marquette, 46.
00:08:15 44.
00:08:16 Marquette, at one point, had her at 26, so I can respect that one, I guess.
00:08:19 Wedgwood at 38. It's insane. To answer my own question, a lot of polls now are basically
00:08:27 models. The primaries are very hard to model from first principles, whereas general elections are
00:08:31 relatively easy, given very high partisanship and usually predictable demographic relationships.
00:08:37 Fox News' digital Columbus, I'm saying Columbus, columnist Dave Marcus also took issue with the
00:08:43 polling, which we did show. Some claimed primary polling should be ignored altogether. With
00:08:48 Political scientist Larry Sabato specifically calling out Wisconsin and Michigan, where
00:08:52 progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed defeated Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary.
00:08:56 Indeed.
00:08:57 And he had been up 10 to 20 points.
00:08:59 What amazes me is that just a few days ago, the same polling train wreck happened in Michigan.
00:09:03 Few learned anything.
00:09:05 Frank Luntz agreed.
00:09:07 I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of primary polling in Midwestern United States
00:09:11 until we can figure out what the hell is going on, which is, of course, a Trump reference.
00:09:16 Because we said about the border.
00:09:17 Patrick Ruffini a pollster for Echelon Insights pumped the brakes the talk of mistakes in the
00:09:22 process before we talk polling error how will very likely I'm sorry Hong will very likely hit
00:09:28 what the poll said she'd get the election was polarized for and against her and polls are still
00:09:32 crude measure for consolidation yeah wrong Sarah Longwell publisher of the bulwark had predicted a
00:09:37 close race I think it's just going to be closer than what it seems she said Tuesday on the next
00:09:42 level podcast pointing to primary polls that missed El Sayed's Michigan victory and that was
00:09:46 very astute, very astute. Here we have Rich Barris, the people's pundit. I responded to this
00:09:55 story saying the polls are insanely broken. It's wild. I'm curious what people's pundits think.
00:10:00 We have this in a shock upset. Let's play this video from Fox.
00:10:03 About you that you don't think the media has picked up on over the course of this campaign
00:10:10 thus far. Is there any information about yourself, your background that you think voters are
00:10:16 potentially missing out on. I've cooked many great Thanksgiving dinners. Oh, my. That's why
00:10:27 she lost. OK, we're done. So we got our response from Rich Barry. She said, I didn't conduct finals
00:10:32 on either race, so I can't say for sure. But turnout in these elections has been very high.
00:10:36 Maine broke records and the polling was largely right. I suspect Democrats are spending a lot
00:10:42 to chase ballots to stop DSA candidates and learned after Maine. I think so. And this is
00:10:48 massive. I'm going to pull up 270 to win for you guys. And what this means for the Republicans,
00:10:54 it could be bad news, but I'm not entirely sure. We take a look at the Senate race right now.
00:10:59 The prediction markets have swung in favor of Democrats to win. For the longest time,
00:11:04 Republicans were favored to take the Senate, but now it's changing. And this is, I think,
00:11:09 due to what Rich Barris is saying with Maine. Record turnout is apocalyptic for Republicans.
00:11:14 And right now, if you just look at Rich Barris's Twitter feed, and you can see,
00:11:21 do I even have it pulled up? I think I do. Looking at some of this polling and his response,
00:11:27 responses to, say, Trump and the war in Iran, Republicans are cooked. Now, I'm not going to
00:11:33 sit here and play games about the Democratic Socialists being worth anything. But I'm going
00:11:38 to tell you. You guys got to watch out for Al-Sayed. To be fair, these weird videos he's got 1.00
00:11:44 coming out, I don't know what's going to happen with that. He's got these weird videos of him
00:11:48 dancing or whatever, and it's not very charismatic. And then you got the one where he's on the swing
00:11:53 and his feet don't touch the ground and everyone's pointing that out. These are those, what's his
00:11:58 name? Was it Howard Dean? Was that his name? This was one in the 2000s. He was the woohoo guy,
00:12:05 right? Yeah. Yeah, that was him. The Dean's scream when Howard Dean went and then it destroyed his 0.99
00:12:14 career. And the question is, why did that destroy his career? Anyway, my point is, El Sayed's got
00:12:21 these weird videos and, you know, any one of them could be that bad moment. But my point ultimately
00:12:25 with Sayed is he's rejecting the DSA. He's saying he's a capitalist. And then he's advocating for
00:12:30 things that are kind of run of the mill Democrat over the past 10 years, like universal health
00:12:33 care. That being said, I don't know how these Democrats escaped the wackaloon garbage they 0.98
00:12:39 said over the past 10 years, like AOC coming out saying woke one was crazy. Yeah. And whose fault 0.99
00:12:45 was that? But with all that in mind, look at what we're at right now. The great switch. This is the
00:12:52 game, guys. This is the game. How much you want to bet we're only like a couple of years away from
00:12:59 all being Democrats. You know what I mean? Like Tucker Carlson ends up getting the Democrat
00:13:04 nomination for some reason. And they're going to be like, but he's far right. Well, you know,
00:13:09 look at Donald Trump. Nobody thought he'd be able to win the Republican nomination because he was
00:13:13 not a true Republican. He unfurled the gay pride flag on stage. My point is this stranger things
00:13:18 have happened. In 2016, Trump came down that escalator and everything changed. The Republican
00:13:23 party was stodgy suit wearing losers and Trump made fun of all of them. Then he won. They lost 1.00
00:13:27 their minds over it. Well, right now, the Republican Party is split. It's hard to know
00:13:32 exactly what's going to happen. But you you can ask some questions. I think some people refer to
00:13:37 it as the APAC parties or whatever. Well, what I've heard in the Beltway is that the machine
00:13:42 wants to return to an Obama Romney era of politics where it's a little contentious,
00:13:48 but for the most part, it's suit wearing stodgy, boring goods. And then you get, you know,
00:13:52 your Barack Obama being the cool guy being like, hey, and then Mitt Romney be like, well, I never.
00:13:56 So and that's what they want politics to be.
00:13:58 They want to get back from this Trump stuff.
00:14:00 And that's been the preparation for some time.
00:14:03 So I'm curious as to what happens politically in this country and who will support whom.
00:14:08 I would not be surprised to find that with AOC saying things like woke one was crazy.
00:14:14 They are abandoning the far left elements and pushing back against them.
00:14:18 Don't get me wrong.
00:14:18 The far left is actually doing fairly well.
00:14:20 But the Democratic machine middle of the road has been fighting.
00:14:23 there. I mean, look at Hunter Biden meeting with Tucker Carlson. There is a play from certain
00:14:29 elements in our political space to try and pull things back together. And, you know, I'll say
00:14:34 this. I respect it. It's how we avoid civil war. You ice out the fringe lunatics. We bring things
00:14:42 back to the middle. But I wonder, I genuinely wonder, Donald Trump, he's he's he's going a
00:14:48 different direction, right? War with Iran is not what anybody wanted. And you've got these arguments
00:14:54 that there's a new MAGA and an old MAGA. Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, they're meeting
00:14:59 up with Tucker Carlson, talking about a new third party that's truly America first. So that's pulling
00:15:05 from the right. But who is it pulling? Then you look at the DSA. They're getting iced out.
00:15:12 There is a cultural conflict in this country, and it's not necessarily four factions. It's
00:15:18 populist versus, I don't know if elitist is the right word, the machine, right?
00:15:24 Take a look at the populist left. They hate Israel. Take a look at the populist right.
00:15:29 They also hate Israel. And these are the two factions breaking away from the establishment.
00:15:34 But the question is, can they actually win? Or is it an isolation play? I'm going to go ahead
00:15:40 and say isolation play. I think that what we're going to see is, you know, with all due respect
00:15:47 to, you know, like Rich Barris has been very critical of Trump and says that people are
00:15:49 breaking away. I think it's fairly split. But the reason I'm going to I'm going to lean towards
00:15:56 so slightly the the right machine and the left machine is because of their access to resources
00:16:01 and their willingness to be evil. The populists will complain about things on the Internet
00:16:05 and they they will move the needle on many things. And the question is, ultimately, though,
00:16:11 will they be able to maintain control of these systems? I think we're going back to an era like
00:16:17 Obama, Obama Romney. I think the machine wants it. I think that independent media and podcasting is
00:16:23 going to get flattened and erased. And those that existed in the space will cease to exist
00:16:27 slowly over time. Censorship didn't work, but a slow, painful death. Death by a thousand cuts,
00:16:33 we call it. You eliminate the populist voices. You return us to a network style media apparatus. 0.98
00:16:39 And I got to be honest. I'm not all that mad about it. Now, don't get me wrong. I have concerns about when the media lies. But what I'm saying is this country was better when we all watched Spider-Man together. This country was better when we had a handful when we had a handful of people debating that resulted in a shared worldview for the most part.
00:17:02 when the internet fractured everything and you got flat earthers versus geocentrists
00:17:08 versus hollow earthers it became bedlam it became chaos so i'm gonna let you in on a secret
00:17:15 it's not really a secret it's kind of a secret i'm gonna tell you where we're going the end of
00:17:20 the 2000s we saw the rise of torrenting and you know napster and things like this the music
00:17:28 industry was beaten down miserably. But then the streaming services started to emerge. And as
00:17:36 people were basically stealing everything and decentralizing access to this music,
00:17:41 it slowly went away. Same thing with movies. We had mega upload. People just downloaded movies
00:17:45 to watch because they wanted to watch movies. And then, you know, the machine basically said,
00:17:49 listen, people will pay the 10 bucks for the movie, just make it available online. The reality
00:17:53 was movies weren't available online. So if you want to see a movie, it was in theaters,
00:17:57 on a DVD at the movie store. Downloads were few and far between. But these pirated movies were
00:18:02 downloadable and young people wanted to watch online. So Netflix said, let's do it. And they
00:18:07 did. And now people watch movies on Amazon and they pay for it. Same thing is true for news.
00:18:14 We ended up with a decentralized news apparatus. Shows like mine and Alex Jones and these
00:18:20 independent podcast exploded on the scene. But now the machine is starting to contract. This is
00:18:27 different. You can't just eliminate all of these people. Politics is a bit stronger. There's one
00:18:33 thing you can do. I go on YouTube. What do I see? The channel with 5,000 subs and it's got videos
00:18:40 with half a million or more views. AI generated completely. You know, I like watching a lot of
00:18:46 poker content and they use ai to make poker highlights that's it you can't compete ad rates
00:18:55 are declining viewership is getting spread super thin not just because of ai but because of people
00:19:00 everyone's everyone's making content it's straining the system and ultimately what will happen is
00:19:05 prominent voices of the trump era will be unable to maintain the infrastructure of their businesses
00:19:11 in the same way. The Daily Wire
00:19:13 is a great example. They're not doing as
00:19:15 bad as people think, but
00:19:17 they let people go, they're restructuring,
00:19:20 they're getting rid of their creative departments, and they're
00:19:21 looking for investment. Because
00:19:23 the ability to
00:19:25 generate revenue as an independent company is going
00:19:27 away. So what's going to happen?
00:19:30 Hope you're ready to cut your deal
00:19:31 with Amazon, Netflix, or Paramount.
00:19:34 Because
00:19:35 political voices are going to rest
00:19:37 in the networks.
00:19:40 The subscription services.
00:19:41 Just like how music and movies were pirated and went away, politics was in essence pirated.
00:19:47 And we'll go back to that machine.
00:19:50 Who will be on top?
00:19:52 You know, I wonder.
00:19:53 The problem, of course, is when they lie to us.
00:19:55 And that's what we have to be careful of.
00:19:56 I think COVID explained that very, very well to many, many people.
00:19:59 But what I'm going to say is this.
00:20:01 It's not always the systems that I'm concerned about.
00:20:04 It's the people and the honesty, the transparency and the mechanism.
00:20:09 Will it improve our lives?
00:20:11 I don't think the lies and manipulations of the machine during COVID improved anybody's
00:20:14 lives.
00:20:14 I think it made everything worse.
00:20:16 And I think it was only because the independent voices we pushed through.
00:20:19 But I'll admit right now, and I think this may be intentional as a means of control.
00:20:24 With, you know, Candace Owens claiming that Charlie Kirk could turn street lights off
00:20:28 and could astral project. 0.63
00:20:30 I wonder if the play is that she's going to gather as many of the fringe elements into
00:20:35 a singular space.
00:20:37 I've argued this before.
00:20:39 Tucker as well.
00:20:40 Took her less so, but still.
00:20:42 And then isolate them from the rest of mainstream politics.
00:20:46 I've warned this.
00:20:48 There are many people that I know that have decided to become Jew posters.
00:20:51 They just post about Israel. 0.84
00:20:52 And I understand the distinction, the distinction, the Jews. 0.81
00:20:57 I see people posting they, them stuff, you know, and I don't mean the woke. 0.97
00:21:01 I mean, they're poking like, who is them?
00:21:03 And they did this, right? 1.00
00:21:04 It's a funny thing about the they, thems. 1.00
00:21:06 There's two inversions. 0.97
00:21:07 And I've told these people, you are going to destroy your career because they're intentionally tricking you into running off the cliff.
00:21:15 Because these people are being told right now, this is where you make money.
00:21:18 The truth is, ad rates are down.
00:21:19 It's pretty bad.
00:21:21 You know, we are Timcast.
00:21:22 We're actually doing really well, you know, as a company.
00:21:26 And, you know, these conspirators and Kirk posters, they do these things like, yeah, well, Tim's broke.
00:21:32 But why are they doing this?
00:21:34 I'm going to tell you guys some secrets, okay?
00:21:37 We'll get personal. I'm sorry if you don't like it when I talk about myself, but it's the best
00:21:40 way I can explain it. I go skating in DC. What do they do on these forums? They claim Tim Pool
00:21:45 can't pop shove it. Now you just asked yourself, what's a pop shove it? Probably the first thing
00:21:51 a child learns when they're learning how to skate. Basically they were like, wow, I was surprised
00:21:54 Tim Pool can't skateboard at all. Now why would they lie? Like I own a skate park. There's videos
00:22:00 of me doing nollie hard for blade flips and things like that. Like just advanced tricks. I've been
00:22:04 skating for oh my holy crap since i was so i was 13 wow 27 years so why lie because they want people 0.98
00:22:16 who don't follow me to believe in their minds i'm a poser i'm fake they want to keep you in the cult 0.84
00:22:22 that's the idea so why would people the conspiratards be posting things like tim pool is
00:22:28 broke when i own a gigantic skate warehouse mansion and uh you're playing in the world
00:22:33 series of poker like guys we do really well here and it's thanks to you as members don't get me
00:22:37 wrong but why say that it's not for you you guys watch the show you know we do well you know that
00:22:44 we have a variety of intellectual properties and companies a skateboard company that sells out
00:22:48 instantly like i'll just i'll just say this we did like a hundred grand in sales like when we
00:22:53 launch a new board right and the coffee company does a couple million per year why are they going
00:23:00 out and saying Tim Pool is broke. Again, I want to stress, take it as a humble brag or whatever.
00:23:04 I'm not trying to make it like that. I'm trying to point out that what these people are doing
00:23:08 is trying to convince other personalities and podcasters that if you say the things I do,
00:23:14 you will be broke. It is a lie and a manipulation. So these unverified accounts en masse,
00:23:21 they go on to these posts and they say Tim Pool's panicking. He's running out of money
00:23:25 because right now there's some young guy. He started filming himself and making videos.
00:23:30 He hears over and over and over again from these bots, Tim Pool is broken, going out
00:23:34 of business or losing money or whatever.
00:23:36 That young guy wants to start producing content goes, I better not be like Tim Pool.
00:23:42 They are trying to pull the fringes into an area where they will not succeed.
00:23:47 Don't get me wrong.
00:23:47 Candace Owen makes a lot of money.
00:23:49 Interestingly enough, though, she wasn't listed in the top revenue by Forbes.
00:23:52 And I wonder why that is, seriously, because based on her viewership, it should be massive.
00:23:58 I mean, seriously, like 30, 40 million a year, but they didn't say that.
00:24:04 I wonder about it.
00:24:06 I'd have to say, I think getting viewers from foreign countries, you're not going to be
00:24:10 able to make a lot of money because the ad rates would be way too low. 0.99
00:24:13 And it's a mirage.
00:24:16 But how many people are going to see this?
00:24:19 Let me put it this way.
00:24:21 How many people used to be friends of Timcast who have begun talking smack about us, chasing
00:24:27 those clicks and those views. How many personalities were anti-woke conservatives and now all they do
00:24:32 is post about the Jews? Guys, I think the play is simple. They want to get rid of the anti-Jew stuff.
00:24:41 They want to get rid of the anti-Israel stuff. Now, you know what? I think these America First
00:24:46 types, they'd probably agree with me that the goal is APEC Democrat, APEC Republican. Okay,
00:24:53 well it's working y'all are gonna get dragged off the cliff and then they're gonna whack that cliff
00:24:59 and collapse it into the sea at least that's what i think but i'll tell you this that's no bearing
00:25:06 on my personal opinions as it pertains to politics i would not be surprised to see that republicans
00:25:12 do decently well uh dsa do poorly should this be the grand play what needs to happen in the
00:25:18 midterms is that republicans buck the trend and defeat the socialist candidates who have won
00:25:23 You're going to get more Mike Johnson types.
00:25:25 They're fairly middle of the road, kind of stodgy suit wearing dudes, but they're going
00:25:28 to beat the socialists in an upset.
00:25:30 It's going to be massive.
00:25:32 The narrative will be that the DSA is defeated and nobody likes it.
00:25:36 Moderate Democrats are going to push back and say, we will not win in 2028 and we will
00:25:42 get Trump, not personally, but Trumpism again, unless we moderate.
00:25:47 Then what happens?
00:25:48 Guys, I'll tell you this. 0.68
00:25:49 I'd support a Tulsi Gabbard on a Democratic primary ticket.
00:25:53 I did last time.
00:25:54 I've only ever supported Republicans over the past six years.
00:25:58 My whole life, the rest of it was for Democrats.
00:26:00 In 2020, I backed Tulsi Gabbard and Andrew Yang.
00:26:04 Now, if Tulsi Gabbard came out and said the Democrats are going too far
00:26:07 and tried to pull it all back, including abortion stuff,
00:26:11 they're going to get moderates.
00:26:13 And then with Tucker and Marjorie and Thomas Massey,
00:26:15 you're going to get a lot of the right populist anti-israel crowd and they're going to get
00:26:23 isolated we will see guys i don't know the future i can't see everything and i'm probably wrong about
00:26:29 all of this and in the future a year from now when they start pulling clips from my show being like
00:26:33 look how wrong tim was they're never going to include the part where i said i'm not sure
00:26:37 i just think maybe and this will probably change with with you know the variables we encounter in
00:26:42 the future. All I can say is pay attention. Maybe I'm crazy. Sometimes I'm right. I predicted a lot
00:26:51 of things. I will say this. The rumors that I heard about Tucker and Tulsi and all that,
00:26:57 I remember they were saying, I did the show and I was like, I was told Tulsi is going to resign,
00:27:01 but sources close to Tulsi said it's never going to happen. And then she did.
00:27:05 It doesn't mean much. It's an indicator. It's not proof. Who knows? But I do think the play is
00:27:11 Get all the podcasts on the networks like Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and Paramount.
00:27:16 Isolate the fringe podcasts, the America First, the Fuentes, the Candace, the Tucker. 0.63
00:27:22 And I know Fuentes doesn't like Candace.
00:27:24 I think Nick understands as well.
00:27:26 Take a look at the things he's been talking about.
00:27:28 He's trying to get away from that stuff.
00:27:30 Isolate those elements.
00:27:33 And then we go back to a more formal, suit-wearing, more boring kind of politics.
00:27:38 I'd be concerned about lies and manipulations.
00:27:40 But I do think we'd be better off with a unified worldview based on facts and, you know, an honest moral framework.
00:27:49 I'm going to wrap it up there, my friends.
00:27:51 It's a wild night.
00:27:52 Smash the like button.
00:27:53 Share the show with everyone you know.
00:27:54 Thank you so much for hanging out.
00:27:56 We've got more coming up for you throughout the day.
00:27:57 We'll see you all 8 p.m. for Timcast IRL.
00:28:10 You
