00:00:00.000
Donald Trump has signed an executive order to end the public funding of NPR and PBS and I say
00:00:06.900
well largely good but I do have a lot of concerns not that I like NPR PBS but the direction of media
00:00:13.400
in this country is pretty dang worrying and there's nothing really we can really do about it
00:00:19.780
so I am pretty alarmed at the current trends that we see on social media largely I tweeted about this
00:00:25.960
and I've kind of been harping on it for some time you've been watching Timcast IRL but you got these
00:00:29.700
liberal podcasters call them podcasters but literally the only videos they ever make is about
00:00:35.580
Donald Trump now I will say this you know I make a lot of videos about Donald Trump and I think that's
00:00:39.580
okay to do we talk about news stories so one of the stories I put up yesterday was about a guy who
00:00:46.320
murdered some woman and we've got of course the impeachment of Trump as well we've also talked
00:00:50.740
about AI and things like this and now we're talking about media but it is Trump so I think that's fair
00:00:55.700
I'll cut him a little bit of slack but a lot of these guys they literally do nothing but talk
00:01:00.460
about Trump literally every single video they put spare maybe one or two special episodes and they're
00:01:07.180
getting hundreds of millions of views so here's what I say about this Trump should be defunding this
00:01:13.940
kind of content this is what NPR and PBS are doing and if you look at the corporate press they are all
00:01:19.980
becoming this deranged and I blame largely social media companies and big tech but there's no solution
00:01:25.320
to me to be completely honest take a look at the story first let me give you the facts and the
00:01:30.700
details and show you examples of how the media has become absolutely insane and then let's talk about
00:01:37.800
what this means for our future Trump signs executive order seeking to end federal funding for NPR and PBS
00:01:43.940
New York Times reports President Trump on Thursday we get it Trump Trump instructed the Corporation for
00:01:50.700
Public Broadcasting which funds public broadcasters in the U.S. to end federal funding for NPR and PBS
00:01:56.900
to the extent allowed by law the outlet outlet receives only a small portion of their funding from Congress
00:02:03.760
with the rest coming from donors and sponsors now let's pause real quick the outlets NPR and PBS
00:02:10.000
but the Corporation for Public Broadcasting gets money from Congress and disperses it to a bunch of
00:02:15.460
radio stations which then carry NPR they are lying about how this actually operates NPR and PBS
00:02:22.620
themselves get a small portion indeed but what about all the subsidiary networks radio stations etc
00:02:29.320
right the Corporation for Public Broadcasting exists for a reason the immediate impact of the order was
00:02:35.460
unclear the Corporation for Public Broadcasting a taxpayer-backed private entity
00:02:40.000
created by an act of Congress is funded two years in advance to protect it from political
00:02:44.520
maneuvering CPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the president's authority
00:02:49.360
Patricia Harrison the president and chief executive of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting said in a
00:02:53.920
statement on Friday Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to uh to CPB huh not CPB to be a
00:03:02.880
private non-profit corporation wholly independent of the federal government the executive order was the
00:03:07.640
latest move by Trump's administration against what described as a biased public media I think there's
00:03:12.000
a better way to go about this and this is why I've been I was saying you know I don't know for sure I mean I
00:03:16.400
like the idea of cutting off the far left crackpot lying press but Trump's got authority here in terms of
00:03:23.820
funding what should happen is he should apply pressure now I said this back when Patreon banned our good
00:03:30.240
friend Carl Benjamin they said he he was on a live stream and he used a racial slur well the context
00:03:36.020
matters he was insulting racists he was talking to white racist guys and he called them the n-word
00:03:43.320
to make the point you guys are actually what you describe other people to be and they said we don't care if
00:03:50.140
you're arguing with white supremacists they banned him cut off his income which is weird and insane my
00:03:56.120
response and I talked to them directly was guys you could have literally called him on the phone and
00:04:01.340
said don't do this it's we don't want to lose like their argument was we're going to get all of our
00:04:08.640
accounts on Patreon shut down when service providers and you know financial services cut us off so we
00:04:14.740
banned him and I said go to him and say hey don't say racial slurs on shows and he would have been like
00:04:20.080
all right I guess he could make the point without doing that instead they nuke him outright create a
00:04:24.900
massive exodus which launches a bunch of other platforms which have succeeded by the way that's
00:04:30.340
not the way to go about doing things in my opinion the problem we have with NPR and PBS is they're
00:04:36.240
driven largely by an obsession cranked out which I refer to as an Elsa gate phenomenon and that is
00:04:43.140
the amount of views you get on YouTube which is the biggest second biggest search engine and one of
00:04:49.460
the biggest video platforms if not the biggest in the world if you make anti-Trump content you
00:04:54.740
will be bigger than Joe Rogan and I'm not exaggerating I do want to do you know a bigger
00:04:59.300
segment on this but take a look at this Joe Rogan has 52 million views in the last month Brian Tyler
00:05:06.860
Cohen has 196 million okay that's what is driving this psychotic reality the algorithm is just spam
00:05:18.100
blasting this in front of people and the only thing they're seeing every single day is Trump did
00:05:23.200
something bad Trump did something bad so if you're wondering why people think Kilmar Abrego Garcia
00:05:27.760
is a nice family man and not a wife beating human trafficking gangbanger oh yeah more videos just come
00:05:33.760
out it's because YouTube doesn't share that to people now I'm not immediately going to blame YouTube
00:05:38.920
YouTube the algorithm it runs the way it runs they'll make the algorithm and then people will fall
00:05:45.920
into those places I certainly think YouTube should realize what they're doing with this insanity
00:05:52.040
but there's no good answer really there isn't let me show you the corporate press I want to give
00:05:57.600
you this as an example the New York Times a mother and father were deported what happened to their
00:06:02.820
toddler the Trump admin sent the mother of a two-year-old to Venezuela and the father to
00:06:06.760
El Salvador in prison their daughter remains somewhere in the United States no the two-year-old
00:06:11.740
American citizen still here but with no parents you can't deport the parents of an American citizen
00:06:17.880
how is that kid going to survive Donald Trump you are oh I'm so mad I'm going to make a video
00:06:22.520
about how bad Trump is anyway now that I've calmed down let's see what else the New York Times has to
00:06:27.820
offer what's this two-year-old U.S. citizen deported with no meaningful process what a federal judge in
00:06:34.560
Louisiana said the deportation of the child to Honduras with her mother even though her father had
00:06:39.240
filed an emergency petition appeared to be illegal and gone constitutional wait a minute you mean when you
00:06:43.580
deported the woman the woman wanted her two-year-old to go with her so you did let the child go I'm so
00:06:49.600
mad Trump does everything wrong you know Trump he should not allow two-year-old American citizens to
00:06:55.460
stay in this country if their parents are deported and Donald Trump should should send
00:07:00.360
should not allow two-year-olds to go home with the parent who requests them what oh I know the
00:07:10.540
Democrats came out said yeah yeah but the father filed an emergency petition I get it the issue is
00:07:16.700
this literally no matter what Trump does it's bad Donald Trump deports two people the kid can stay
00:07:24.440
okay how dare he leave that kid here in limbo in the United States okay a mother was getting deported
00:07:33.120
she requested the child go with her and the Trump admin said okay how dare he do that he should have
00:07:41.960
let the child stay with the father if Donald Trump had this child stay they'd have complained about it
00:07:48.900
that's the point I understand a little bit no that's not one for one the point is do you let the child go
00:07:55.720
with the parent being deported or not doesn't matter the left the corporate press the media
00:08:01.920
will say it's wrong no matter what you do lord help us so when Trump says you know what we shouldn't
00:08:11.680
be funding anything related to this I say you you got it boy you got it buddy this is ridiculous
00:08:19.240
but this is the you know I'll tell you what I think the challenge is let's talk about media right
00:08:25.640
I think I got a tweet pulled up what is this Pete Hegseth
00:08:27.680
in case you're you wonder what we and President Trump are up against 100% negative coverage from
00:08:34.240
the so-called mainstream press like come on man literally not a single good day for Pete Hegseth
00:08:40.700
he's we we've got the the enlistment is up like people actually want to join the armed forces now
00:08:47.660
under his leadership he's doing it he's doing a good job there have been some mistakes signal get
00:08:52.640
out and think was a big I don't think that was a big deal not good but I ain't crying about it
00:08:57.200
nothing no he died look at this Elon Musk 96% negative coverage it is Elon says you got me beat
00:09:05.260
we're we're we're fucked you know sorry for swearing I normally I try not to swear but holy crap ladies
00:09:16.160
and gentlemen we are screwed look what's what's happening right now is that I hate to say it okay
00:09:27.360
but you look at Joe Rogan he talks about a bunch of things it's an eclectic show 52 million views
00:09:34.840
now I'm not saying Joe's not the biggest podcast or impugning his reach no I'm using him as exam as
00:09:42.720
an example on YouTube because he's the biggest podcast in the world biggest podcast even with
00:09:50.720
the other other shows jumping above him in certain rankings you can't beat the Joe Rogan experience
00:09:56.400
in terms of what a podcast is these conversations the man has the golden touch
00:10:00.900
but even he is nothing compared to Trump derangement syndrome Brian Tyler Cohen on his
00:10:08.860
YouTube channel makes nothing but anti-Trump videos every single video it's just tracking every move
00:10:17.080
Trump makes and screaming about it I honestly think Trump probably should just not be in the press
00:10:21.840
for a little bit probably wouldn't work to be honest this guy is a Trump review channel he gets
00:10:29.900
more views than Joe Rogan on YouTube now I'll put it this way Rogan will put out a podcast and a million
00:10:39.520
two million some get three million some get more in the in the in recent past he a lot of the podcasts
00:10:46.360
he does they're getting like 600 to a million but the bigger guests the bigger conversations they get
00:10:51.060
a couple million that's great now for Cohen he's making uh I don't know like four or five maybe six
00:10:58.780
videos every single day and they're getting about half a million each so they're smaller per video but
00:11:04.320
he's making way more some have suggested yes Rogan's probably got 30 million diehard unique listeners
00:11:10.900
and Cohen's probably got less but I don't think that's true when you also look at David Pakman
00:11:17.680
you can see that his videos have wild swings some of 30,000 some of half a million
00:11:22.020
I believe they're largely getting algorithmic views Elsa gate style Rogan's got natural pull because
00:11:29.340
everyone knows he's the biggest of the best he's just Rogan Tyler Cohen you probably never heard of
00:11:34.540
his podcast as a podcast is not that big but his channel is massive because he's spam
00:11:40.740
blasts Trump is bad and there is a subsect of people on YouTube and in this country that will
00:11:47.280
watch every single video because they're addicted to hate and rage this creates an effect when people
00:11:55.860
like journalists at NPR or the New York Times see the numbers the math is clear look we sell ads here
00:12:04.480
at Timcast everybody does and the sponsors ask us how many people we're going to reach and we say
00:12:09.360
you know when we do a show Timcast IRL we're probably doing things have been really good for us
00:12:14.400
I will admit the with with the rumble launch and the shout out promotion from Stephen Crowder and Dan
00:12:21.340
Bongino tremendous respect and appreciation for that guys our viewership has massively exploded
00:12:26.800
so we were doing you know 300 350 on average on Timcast IRL we're now doing 600 to 700
00:12:33.940
with with by adding rumble to our to our roster so the shows like doubled in size we've now been hitting
00:12:41.880
the third biggest show in the country live every night and we're still not getting 20 million views but
00:12:51.100
here's the thing so I tweeted this out I I insulted Brian Tyler Cohen because I to be fair I'm not the
00:12:58.840
most tactful and professional person I'll be the first to admit maybe if I shut up stopped complaining
00:13:04.220
about myself sometimes I might be a bigger show but look I wear my I wear my thoughts and feelings
00:13:09.120
on my sleeve and make videos when I feel like making videos I talk about what I want to talk about
00:13:13.220
some people don't like it I respect that maybe I should chill the f out sometimes but that being said I
00:13:19.840
insulted him because I'm like this is sick and he then took a screenshot from the culture war channel
00:13:23.780
where the average viewership for the clips is like I don't know 10 to 30k maybe and he said what is it
00:13:30.640
like to look at a channel with views he hit the nail on the head with the hammer he really did
00:13:35.880
first he's going to the smallest channel that I have okay where we put up clips from an interview show
00:13:44.480
which don't get as many views to be fair the daily interview specials that we do are getting 100 to
00:13:51.580
200,000 he didn't want to show those though why that's the point when he shows that he gets half
00:13:57.680
a million per video that's what drives people to hate Trump because they're sociopaths not that they
00:14:04.660
really hate him but there are a lot and I'm going to give Hassan Piker credit to 100% I really do mean
00:14:09.580
this I've been talking about a lot but he talks about a lot of things not just Donald Trump certainly
00:14:14.100
talks about Trump a lot but I can give respect to Hassan for talking about foreign policy issues
00:14:19.300
and Sam Seder the same I mean it I mean the guys waste time talking about me Hassan doesn't talk
00:14:25.040
about me that much he did recently because of the news totally fine he's allowed to do it I'm not mad
00:14:29.100
at him for talking about what he wants to talk about Sam Seder talks about me a bit too way too much
00:14:32.740
but I can still respect that they're not just saying Trump 800,000 times same thing with breaking
00:14:38.080
points they're very tedious you know crystal not soccer but what happens is these younger people
00:14:46.160
these media people these New York Times people these NPR people these PBS people they see where
00:14:50.920
the numbers are now I don't think Brian Tyler Cohen is getting 30 million unique views how could
00:14:59.000
Tim cast this is this is the interesting metric that is not tracked I'm not trying to humble brag
00:15:04.660
or anything when we have 70 we had 74,000 concurrent viewers two nights ago we had 65 last night those
00:15:12.240
are unique organic views all at once I believe that of the views he's getting Brian Tyler Cohen 196
00:15:21.160
it's probably 10 people watching 20 videos a month or more because he's doing like five or six anti-Trump
00:15:29.160
it could be a million people watching a hundred of his videos per month just spam blasting how they
00:15:34.040
hate Trump whereas with Joe Rogan it's 30 million people watching one or two episodes a month
00:15:38.920
more unique people the problem is the metric convinces people to chase after the anti-Trump narrative
00:15:46.680
and that's how you get the New York Times running negative stories on Trump no matter what he does
00:15:53.040
they say I'll put it this way when I worked for fusion I was told by the one of their marketing guys
00:16:02.300
mothers share more than anybody else that's who we target no joke they said we want more shares so we
00:16:11.000
want content that moms are going to get driven by anger is more likely to generate a share and women are
00:16:17.760
more likely to share so let's piss off women he didn't say it like that but that's the idea content
00:16:23.640
that will rile up middle-aged women does the best so here's what ends up happening when they're doing
00:16:31.800
ad sales they don't care who they say look we just need the numbers we promised a sponsor half a million
00:16:39.740
views we have to deliver okay there's a couple ways to do that spam blast anti-Trump content and one
00:16:46.700
person will watch it 500 times 500 views indeed advertiser doesn't know that they don't sell as
00:16:54.140
well though but they still get paid the company the other the other tricks they've got is ad rights
00:17:00.280
distribution and my favorite is you sell an ad spot on a show and then when you don't get the views
00:17:05.340
you run the show as an ad itself to get guaranteed views on YouTube it's really brilliant stuff
00:17:11.340
ultimately I say this Trump cutting off the media is a good thing but it's not going to change the
00:17:18.880
algorithmic psychopathy of these channels that spam blast Trump content so let me just put it this way
00:17:26.120
Timcast IRL is the third biggest live show in the country on average because we have a broad
00:17:32.780
unique viewership that means when we talk about like you know let me let me take a look at what I've got
00:17:38.260
now EU power outage UFOs uh Jack Posobiec attack Trump there we go Rockstar requesting asylum for
00:17:46.880
Brits uh Elon Musk basically what I try and do on this channel is talk about news stories that I think
00:17:52.080
matter and admittedly the views are here we go 200,000 140,000 150,000 150,000 160,000 200 a couple from
00:17:59.940
yesterday 90,000 they usually pick up in a little bit um CBS 60 minutes 368 that was a big one I'm not
00:18:07.360
getting half a million but it's because I don't talk about one thing non-stop so one person might
00:18:13.540
click the Elon Musk video and not the Trump video but I have scruples I try to make sure that I'm doing
00:18:18.920
something that's balanced that gives a broad view of media the corporate press is not doing that what I
00:18:25.160
will say is to a certain degree they are more so than these liberal podcasters my fear however is I
00:18:31.680
pulled up the New York Times to make this example they absolutely still do this it's not news and
00:18:38.180
people think they're being informed by this guys I understand the nuance of a father filing a petition
00:18:45.040
the response I got from fans of Brian Tyler Cohen is of course he's talking about Trump Trump's the
00:18:50.180
president so he's a presidential review channel if that's where we're going and the only media people
00:18:57.360
consume is one thing a myopic single subject it's going to drive people insane more importantly
00:19:05.960
Trump isn't doing everything wrong Trump looked like an idiot when he gaffed on the MS-13 on the hands
00:19:13.820
okay that was stupid Trump has done other stupid things that I think are worse foreign policy things
00:19:21.440
I don't want to be involved in these things I don't I was talking to Seb Gorka and I said
00:19:25.940
you know he mentioned that they were doing a strike in Sudan and I was like I don't I don't
00:19:29.140
want to be involved in this stuff and he gave me his argument but I respect that I do no regime change
00:19:34.420
war we're doing less than before we're in a middle ground and I'm like I'm not I said this other day
00:19:39.280
I'm not a libertarian who's going to be like no it must be all or nothing I'm like okay I will take
00:19:44.820
no invasions no regime change war um you're doing you're doing targeted strikes far from perfect not a
00:19:52.280
fan Trump universal tariffs I said from the get-go I am skeptical that this will work selective tears
00:19:57.100
I think makes sense I think this is going to be going to be bad but we'll see I don't know what
00:20:01.920
the plan is I'm not going to come out and vomit on myself screaming about every single thing Trump
00:20:06.340
does is wrong but he's not a perfect guy and he makes tons of mistakes he just happens to be more
00:20:11.700
aligned with my moral worldview and I support him in those efforts that is a reasonable worldview in
00:20:17.540
my opinion Trump is always wrong no matter what is psychotic and obviously not correct but half the
00:20:24.660
country lives in that world so I'm deeply concerned about where this goes but I suppose I'll wrap it
00:20:29.980
up there otherwise I rant too much too much on this issue nuke them get them out see if I care
00:20:35.240
but how we solve this problem man I don't have the answers I'll leave it there stay tuned we got more
00:20:39.460
segments coming up throughout the day follow me on x on instagram at timcast thanks for hanging out
00:20:44.300
we'll see y'all then news that is surprising to no one grand theft auto 6 is being delayed to may
00:20:50.000
2026 you know I saw this story and it made me feel bad for gen z because they don't understand
00:20:57.580
just how bad they have it relative to us millennials because I remember back when I was a kid games came
00:21:03.860
out like clockwork and I got the data to back it up don't take my word for it these kids playing
00:21:09.980
GTA 5 they've been playing GTA 5 now for 12 years with no game coming out now of course there's
00:21:16.660
always a bigger picture here it's not just that GTA 6 is being delayed which we will read about
00:21:21.120
it's that culture is stagnating in sad ways this weekend I was talking about Katy Perry and Beyonce
00:21:27.640
you know they're struggling to sell tickets to their big stadium concerts Katy Perry's last album
00:21:33.720
bombed Beyonce is selling tickets for the price of a McDonald's cheeseburger that was the news
00:21:39.360
now some have come out and said yes but Tim Sabrina Carpenter she's selling out her show yes but in
00:21:46.580
arenas not stadiums still good but she's pulling in between 10 to 20,000 seats hey that's really good
00:21:54.480
don't get me wrong but yo Metallica used to sell out like 70 80,000 seat stadiums actually they still do
00:22:01.880
they just played a 60,000 person stadium the other night and they had that famous show in Russia
00:22:06.900
with a million people culture stagnating man you know and I was reading this post on Reddit where
00:22:14.760
some zoomer was saying that they're nostalgic for a time that doesn't exist anymore they see all this
00:22:19.520
media they see everything from the 90s and I'm telling you what's going to happen and why this
00:22:23.580
story about GTA 6 is so important now for many of you some of you came here and you're just like bro
00:22:27.620
just tell me about the video game because I don't know when I can play it and I'll and we'll get into that
00:22:32.140
like literally right now just want to say real quick then we're going to talk about why culture
00:22:36.340
is stagnating and why this is bad news for zoomers and yo gen gen alpha I'm worried I'm worried about
00:22:44.540
you guys I'm worried about you guys here's a story from Polygon they say Rockstar Games has delayed GTA 6
00:22:50.200
previously expected in the fall of 2025 to next year the hugely anticipated game at least has a firm
00:22:56.560
release date now it will be released on May 26 20 May 26 2026 we are very sorry this that this is
00:23:04.400
later than you expected the interest and excitement surrounding a new Grand Theft Auto has been truly
00:23:09.180
humbling for our entire team we want to thank you for your support and your patience as we work to
00:23:13.240
finish the game with every game we have released the goal has always been to try and exceed your
00:23:17.280
expectations and GTA 6 is no exception we hope you understand that we need this extra time to deliver
00:23:23.480
the level of quality you expect and deserve we look forward to sharing more information with you
00:23:28.520
soon the news comes as no great surprise Rockstar is known for delays to its games which are always
00:23:34.780
huge in ambition and scope its last major release was Red Dead Redemption 2 delayed three times
00:23:41.280
however as recently as February Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive was insisting
00:23:46.180
GTA 6 was on track GTA 6's delay presents an opening for other publishers who were said to be
00:23:51.720
considering delaying their own games just to avoid competing with Rockstar so expect a slew of
00:23:56.600
October November 2025 release date soon my friends it is done we are cooked we are cooked look at this
00:24:03.940
look at this Rockstar Games release schedule going back to 1998 let me tell you about what it was like
00:24:12.600
when I was younger 1998 man I was 12 years old 12 years old GTA comes out in 99 you get GTA London
00:24:25.280
Thrasher GTA 2 3 games it's okay GTA London versus GTA were very similar and for those that don't know
00:24:31.080
these original games they were like top down and it was it was it's a funny and silly game to play to be
00:24:36.140
honest in 2000 to 2002 look at all these games that get released you got nine release you got Max
00:24:41.640
Payne Oni you got what is this burning H2O wild metal I'm GTA 3 everybody I knew had to get GTA 3
00:24:51.540
it was 3D you were running around the city it was crazy you then got three releases in the next year
00:24:57.600
the next year three releases then three releases then three releases then three releases
00:25:01.360
2007 you got one the point is over time they slowly released less and less then came 2013
00:25:08.420
with GTA 5 and nothing for five years until Red Dead Redemption yo 2018 Red Dead Redemption it's now
00:25:18.160
2025 and they're telling us look at this chart GTA 5 2025 sorry boys delayed one more year there's two
00:25:27.600
big reasons why this is happening they're making money on online and mobile so games that used to
00:25:33.520
get released all the time was like make more games man let's get let's try and get a banger out there
00:25:37.540
now it's like release one game and just sell skins and that's what they're doing the world that Gen Z
00:25:44.220
lives in with video games you've basically got young people who play one game you're gonna play GTA
00:25:51.060
Fortnite and Minecraft they play one game in a million different iterations living in that one
00:25:56.860
world here's how it was when I was a kid right now in our boonies HQ trailer which is outside the
00:26:03.820
skate park I bought an N64 and I got a console that plays Sega Genesis Nintendo and Super Nintendo and I
00:26:10.980
bought like 15 games yo back in the day when I was a kid we would go out there was there was a place
00:26:17.540
called far more it's like a pharmacy I barely remember what it was I don't think they exist
00:26:21.340
anymore pretty sure they don't and they had a rental section for video games for NES cartridges
00:26:26.280
and the amount of games was nuts I remember I'd go to like a friend's house and we'd have a rack
00:26:31.600
of all these crazy games now here's the thing you might be saying Tim there's more games than ever
00:26:36.840
yeah but they're like mobile one-off overly simple it's not the same thing so when we're looking at
00:26:43.200
these big triple A's they're very similar to how we got releases of like say Mario 64 or something
00:26:49.160
now to be fair Mario games came out I don't know the release schedule but it was like a couple years
00:26:54.940
Mario 3 comes out Super Mario World comes out Yoshi's Island comes out a couple years later so there
00:26:59.620
were gaps by a couple years for those franchises but Rockstar used to release a bunch of different
00:27:05.800
games not just GTA so here's what's happening cultural stagnation if it ain't broke don't fix it
00:27:12.260
same thing with music same thing with movies they've become formulaic I'm not going to risk
00:27:17.580
money on creating a game that flops so now what they want to do is they want to say you're gonna
00:27:22.520
make a movie okay do we want to make Groundhog Day yo Zoomers have you watched Groundhog Day it's one
00:27:28.580
of the best movies ever probably not I don't know some of you maybe did it's one of the best movies
00:27:32.160
ever made back to the future we don't make movies like that anymore unless it's like an indie studio
00:27:37.180
and then no one hears about it it gets no marketing and the culture is stagnant Groundhog Day was epic
00:27:43.140
but today everything's got to be the same thing Mission Impossible 15 or Fast and the Furious 43 or
00:27:50.660
Fast and the Furious spin-off Marvel Cinematic Universe Star Wars Universe yo make a new IP
00:27:57.560
they don't want to they say we're not gonna spend 100 million dollars gambling on an intellectual
00:28:02.940
property that people might not like so where are we now they're not making new games anymore
00:28:09.540
they're not making new music anymore I mean obviously they're making music but it's all
00:28:14.240
derivative algorithmic AI garbage I feel bad for where Gen Z goes with this but I'll say one more
00:28:21.800
thing why are these games being delayed talent crisis yo Gen Z hear me on this one
00:28:28.060
we've had a managerial and talent crisis for some time this means that younger people are not being
00:28:35.300
taught the skills to take over these industries and create these kinds of programs there's fewer and
00:28:41.220
fewer people to do the job and do it well DEI initiatives have made this worse that you got two
00:28:47.820
guys one's like a white dude he's 20 he's like I program video games for fun and they say sure
00:28:51.780
then they look over there's like a Hispanic guy and he's like you know I've programmed before but
00:28:55.340
I could probably do it say we want you because DEI and then you're gonna have delays and struggles
00:29:01.140
it's not going to solve any of the problems we're facing I think it's gonna get worse I think the only
00:29:10.220
saving grace technically is gonna be AI generated games to a high degree I think within a few years
00:29:18.320
we might be seeing AI like LLM generated video games where you say make me you open up the prompt
00:29:24.600
you say make me a new GTA game that you know is like this and it'll make it for you it'll take the
00:29:30.480
existing code from that many other games combine the elements I think in a few years because right now
00:29:36.280
there's like rudimentary things that it can quote unquote code but it's like it's like top level
00:29:41.060
easier language like HTML5 and stuff it's not like I don't know um C or like basic or anything like
00:29:46.360
that so it's it's sort of coding that may be our saving grace but I think that with Gen Alpha being
00:29:54.700
only 40 some odd million people Gen Z you're in trouble check this out let me show you this
00:29:59.900
Katy Perry fresh off Blue Origin flap admits she's bruised by online backlash it's not just Blue Origin
00:30:05.840
you know she's got that cringe tour that nobody's buying tickets to and she had to cancel events
00:30:12.020
why okay Millennials are 40 years old okay we're 40 we're not going to Katy Perry concerts anymore man
00:30:20.000
it's not gonna happen now Katy you think you're gonna sell a stadium to anybody else there's barely
00:30:24.540
any young people people aren't having kids there's it's generations are supposed to be bigger than the
00:30:29.780
last there's 72 million Millennials and 69 million Gen Z Gen Z smaller by a little bit and Gen Alpha is
00:30:35.700
40 million right now Gen Alpha is supposed to be ending in the next like this year maybe some
00:30:42.080
estimates might put it a year higher okay so maybe we get 45 million Gen Alpha Gen Z I'm telling you
00:30:46.920
right now yo you're in for it you're in for it because there's no babies so there's not going to
00:30:51.920
be young people to take jobs so that means restaurants are going to go to business it means you're going to
00:30:55.940
struggle to find work buildings homes they're going to get bought up by big like by BlackRock
00:31:01.720
and other financial institutions it ain't going to be pretty in the next 10 years boomers are expected
00:31:07.820
to be around 50 million they'll still be alive they'll still own these things they boomers largely
00:31:14.200
own properties and corporate equities this means Gen Z is going to be 37 years old and still have no
00:31:21.300
access to owning property and at the same time there will be no Gen Alpha who should be entering their
00:31:28.700
20s to take the jobs of course there are some but they're not going to be taking these jobs so
00:31:32.980
you're looking at GTA 6 and being like this delay sucks yo I'm telling you I hope you're prepared for
00:31:39.520
how bad it's going to be you will own nothing you will be happy that's what they said and that's
00:31:44.580
where Gen Z is headed millennials largely got the last chopper out of Nam that's what it feels like
00:31:50.440
like you were still able it's something like a quarter of millennials or no I'm sorry half of
00:31:55.220
millennials own homes half of them didn't even make it out and are struggling the other half found
00:31:59.340
something but Gen Z ain't going to be ain't going to be so pretty and Gen Alpha you're in serious
00:32:03.000
trouble Gen Alpha is going to be entering their 20s boomers still around owning largely all the
00:32:07.360
properties and I'm not saying literally every boomer owns property there are a lot of poor boomers too
00:32:11.240
but it's not going to be Gen Alpha that's got access to this stuff they're going to be 20 they're
00:32:15.920
going to be living with their parents Gen Z is already doing that now so no one's going to be buying
00:32:20.600
houses property values are going to start imploding then you're going to get these big corporations
00:32:25.140
like BlackRock swooping in and buying them up at premiums that the younger generations can't afford
00:32:29.260
so you want to talk about your video game I hear you I agree it sucks but this is a symptom of a much
00:32:36.720
bigger problem that is only going to be exacerbated and that's not including the insane hyperpolarization
00:32:43.000
politically so now that I've successfully taken your video game story and turned it into I don't know
00:32:47.920
social collapse and disorder you may be sufficiently black billed there it's not all the apocalypse I
00:32:53.800
mean AI might change the game in ways that pick up the slack for the lack of population not that I
00:32:58.740
think it's ultimately a good thing but maybe you see new movies new video games you get more of what
00:33:02.520
you want because the robots will do it for you I still think it's going to get worrisome with how
00:33:08.860
and who maintains infrastructure and buildings and plumbing the electrical grid so we'll see man
00:33:16.000
anyway GTA 6 is delayed again there you go I'm gonna wrap it up there stay tuned we got more
00:33:22.800
segments coming up for you in a little bit follow me on x and instagram at timcast and we'll see you
00:33:26.620
all then in newly obtained video footage Fox News has released Kilmar Abrego Garcia the Maryland man
00:33:33.460
who was wrongly deported to El Salvador is caught on camera trafficking human beings well that's what the
00:33:40.500
cops think the cops say this dude's getting paid to haul these people for money cops release video of
00:33:48.140
Kilmar Abrego Garcia traffic stop quote he's hauling these people for money seriously now the response
00:33:55.700
we're getting from Democrats is but this is a violation of due process so bring him back
00:33:59.300
hey yo wait a minute how many times do I got to say this all he's required for due process
00:34:07.900
is a USCIS interview and that's excluding the alien enemies act if we're operating under the AEA
00:34:15.080
he was rightfully deported but let's just pause for a minute Democrats are demanding he be brought back
00:34:20.840
on this ego issue dude what sane person would say well you know he didn't get his USCIS interview so
00:34:28.980
he better be brought back well they're lying when they say due process they're claiming he should get
00:34:33.460
a jury trial okay the issue is he had a withholding of deportation which which means an immigration
00:34:39.940
official needs to ask him and review the current standards in El Salvador which since 2013 since
00:34:45.600
2019 have improved tremendously Mediite says newly released body cam video from 2022 shows the
00:34:54.720
Tennessee traffic stop that President Donald Trump's administration is citing as evidence support the
00:34:59.040
deportation excuse me of Kilmar Abrego Garcia the footage obtained by Fox News digital shows Tennessee
00:35:05.240
highway patrol officers pulling over Abrego Garcia for speeding records detail how eight other men were
00:35:11.300
crammed into a modified SUV with four rows of seats quote how many rows you have have you gotten
00:35:17.700
there four seats four rows of seats did y'all put an extra one in huh did y'all put another one in no
00:35:23.220
they come like this I've never seen this one with this many seats during the stop the trooper and
00:35:28.200
troopers interrogated Bregor Garcia on the $1,400 cash he is carrying and an invalid Maryland driver's
00:35:35.420
license he's hauling these people for money hey how about I just play the clip Jesse Waters posted it
00:35:41.280
let's roll tape who's trafficking you know what you got here right
00:35:45.500
he's uh he's hauling these people for money you got an ass hauler is what he's doing but
00:36:01.460
yeah so he's getting paid probably to Maryland I would say probably to Maryland
00:36:09.600
so let me ask you this they don't have any luggage in there right and if you get them out
00:36:19.960
they're gonna have toothpaste and they're gonna have toothbrushes in their pockets I guarantee you
00:36:24.820
he's got $1,400 cash in his pocket in an envelope
00:36:28.420
in the video you see one of the cops making a phone call the body cam audio cuts out for 10 minutes
00:36:34.140
sources told us that on that call was Joe Biden's FBI which advised police not to detain Kilmar at the
00:36:41.820
time whoa that source also tells us highway patrol called Biden's ice and they never showed up
00:36:48.460
Biden's guy said an MS-13 gangster suspected human smuggler and wife beater released into the country
00:36:55.700
God knows what he did and was never caught for before Trump deported him
00:37:00.140
wow man keep digging and keep you posted when we find more
00:37:03.460
this is crazy guys Democrats are playing this game where they're like we're principled
00:37:10.420
but we all remember exactly what happened with censorship there was no principles there
00:37:15.040
they simply wanted power and right now the issue for us in the United States is quite simple
00:37:20.340
we don't want MS-13 human traffickers in this country he beats his wife he's been accused on
00:37:27.400
numerous occasions even his wife's ex-husband said his children are not safe because this guy is a gang
00:37:32.200
member he's got 1400 bucks in an envelope transporting a bunch of guys that the cops believed was human
00:37:38.600
trafficking the footage is released the documents are released and still Democrats are playing this game
00:37:44.220
because of ego they don't want to admit they were wrong this is not a Maryland father seeking a better
00:37:51.280
life this is a criminal MS-13 gang member who's being paid money according to this this video and these
00:37:58.840
cops to haul people to smuggle he's a human trafficker one of the most sickening crimes a person could
00:38:08.220
commit and Democrats are like but doesn't matter bring him back bring him back how about we just
00:38:15.240
all say okay from this point forward like here's what I'm satisfied with Donald Trump we recognize
00:38:21.940
this guy is a human smuggler and a bad dude so we're gonna say moving forward you have to give
00:38:29.820
a USCIS review okay if you're gonna deport somebody otherwise what are Democrats arguing for see man
00:38:38.960
they've successfully gaslit Trump supporters into thinking due process means jury trial I'm gonna say
00:38:43.340
it again because it does not due process means fair procedures under the law that's it and if you're a
00:38:52.280
human trafficker what is fair well first when we're talking about American citizens committing crimes
00:38:58.520
you will get a trial that is what our legal process dictates an American citizen accused of a crime
00:39:04.980
goes before a jury of their peers or judge how they choose and then there's an adversarial battle
00:39:11.220
unless they plead guilty now let's say you're not a citizen and you're caught committing a crime
00:39:15.900
get we just bye we send you home now in this instance he would likely get a hearing because of his
00:39:24.120
withholding of deportation that's the issue the Trump admin says no no no no no the alien enemies
00:39:29.940
act said saying these gangs are invaders they're committing crimes we're not talking about a guy who
00:39:36.560
fled his country came to America for a better life and then said please don't send me back I'll die
00:39:41.920
it's a guy who came here as a gang member accused of trafficking people and beating his wife who then
00:39:48.140
went yeah send me back no I'll die and they said okay so you've got a bad guy who came here for bad
00:39:54.820
reasons to cause harm to this country hurt people that's why we say alien enemies act now the funny
00:40:01.120
thing is his liberal pundits are like he's not a terrorist this is not terrorism MS-13 has been
00:40:08.560
implicated in the killing of politicians it's not like as nearly as many as some of the cartels but yes
00:40:13.640
numerous occasions they're they get paid for extortion and assassinations targeting people
00:40:18.900
who would stand in their way they have killed activists who try to call them out this is a gang
00:40:24.480
it operates like any gang it's international gang it is a dangerous gang these people and I mean this
00:40:30.300
they are no one to be trifled with I am not exaggerating the people who have tried to stand
00:40:35.440
at MS-13 have met very unfortunate ends some of these people rumors are they get flayed alive
00:40:41.440
you know that means I'm not going to go into detail on that for those that don't know what
00:40:45.860
that means I'm not going to go into detail on that sorry but it's gruesome torture so if you want to
00:40:51.800
make the argument they're not terrorists because what they do isn't overtly political like al-qaeda
00:40:56.000
I argue that's silly now I will say this I sat down with Secretary Kristi Noem and she said terrorists
00:41:02.320
are people who are coming here with the intention to cause us harm to engage in violence it's a very
00:41:07.260
broad definition and I say okay well terrorism is usually the use of violence for political ends
00:41:13.560
these people want to make money they want control they want to break the law and they will target
00:41:19.920
people who stand in their way lawyers politicians or otherwise I say fine maybe they're not the same
00:41:27.680
thing as al-qaeda or you know Hezbollah or something but they're still terrorists maybe they're just
00:41:35.680
not as pronounced as some of these organizations are because principally they're like selling drugs
00:41:40.800
and trafficking people but they still engage in that terroristic behavior and they are alien invaders
00:41:46.920
to say the least so we don't need to say I don't care about the word terrorist this is a criminal
00:41:53.140
element seeking to hurt people coming into our country illegally and smuggling more people in tell me
00:42:00.900
that's not an invasion let's go back in time to like the founding fathers an enemy faction of the
00:42:07.160
united states were funneling tons of people into the country to engage in in in criminal actions and
00:42:12.900
violence against the american people yeah I'm pretty sure they'd be like that's an invasion so how many
00:42:17.780
of them are there I don't know tens of thousands maybe millions millions back then you had 2.5 million
00:42:23.160
people living in this country during the time isn't it crazy like less than one percent so if you said
00:42:29.700
20,000 people 20,000 they'd be like that's insane that's an insane it's not even 10 percent they would say
00:42:38.180
that's an invasion of course rally the troops we can't have these people coming in like that this is where
00:42:44.180
we are right now largely because democrats can't accept they were wrong Donald Trump initially his
00:42:49.640
administration said administrative error it was under the standard proceedings he needed that
00:42:55.400
interview with USCIS fine I say give it to him I don't care then they said you know what under the
00:43:00.260
alien enemies act we didn't need it that's why it happened so you know it's the left hand not talking
00:43:04.080
to the right they thought it was an error but no we claiming clarified said no no we're allowed to do
00:43:07.300
this because they're MS-13 he's an El Salvadoran man he's back in El Salvador they decided what to do
00:43:13.580
with him it ain't our business now you want to argue about Venezuela that's a fair argument I'll give you
00:43:18.220
that one the problem with Venezuela is they're refusing to repatriate their citizens these are
00:43:23.500
people many of them trend day Aragua coming into the US here's the conundrum democrats have proposed
00:43:29.660
if a Venezuelan criminal enters this country and we can't send them back to Venezuela they get to stay
00:43:36.660
here forever that's insane that makes no sense now you want to argue we shouldn't by default send
00:43:43.740
them to an El Salvadoran prison okay we do have ourselves a conundrum I don't think there's a good
00:43:48.900
answer and I wish this wasn't it I don't like that they're that they're doing this the story of this
00:43:53.560
gay hairdresser who came here illegally and got sent accused of being TDA and sent to the Seacott
00:43:58.000
prison in El Salvador it worries me but you tell me what the solution is to people breaking our laws
00:44:04.660
entering the country illegally and then refusing to leave what do we do with them there is no answer
00:44:11.180
there's none because if Trump lets them stay then we're letting criminals stay in our country who
00:44:15.740
seek to do us harm and violate our laws we can't have that so what do we do can't send them to
00:44:20.020
Venezuela Venezuela's refusing to repatriate El Salvador well if they go to any other country
00:44:25.420
they'll just come back so what do we do I don't have an answer I don't like that we just by default
00:44:31.940
send these people to Seacott but there's no there's no answer so I'm gonna say it like this I don't
00:44:39.280
want people sent to Seacott in El Salvador Trump should not do that unless they are adjudicated as
00:44:45.520
these gang members in the case of this gay hairdresser he had tattoos on his hands on his
00:44:50.120
wrist that were crowns that they say is associated with TDA and he was Venezuelan and he didn't come
00:44:54.480
here illegally so they said out I do believe he had a hearing and they determined that was the case
00:45:00.680
it's not like some random guy got picked up thrown in at least I don't believe that is either way
00:45:06.100
as it pertains to that conundrum I I don't know what you'd have us do I don't like this is an
00:45:15.160
honest statement I don't think they should be sent to a supermax MS-13 El Salvadoran citizen yeah fine
00:45:21.640
if if they're adjudicated as gang members fine that's due process this hairdresser guy I don't
00:45:28.180
know man but I can tell you this no matter what happens it's going to be bad no matter what Trump's
00:45:34.580
going to say you can't stay here we're not going to let you break our laws come here and stay and
00:45:38.220
if we can't send you home because your country's refusing you then you can go to Seacott
00:45:41.080
I wish there was any I wish there was a better answer but I'm going to say all right I'm against
00:45:47.640
that I don't have an answer for you though I wish I did I'll leave it there stay tuned we got more
00:45:54.200
segments coming up throughout the day my friends follow me on x on instagram at timcast and we'll see
00:45:58.420
you all in the next segment if youtube were to follow its own policies and rules and if it were
00:46:04.620
to act fairly then they would ban brian tyler cohen and david packman instantly over the past
00:46:11.980
seven years there have been serious scandals on youtube pertaining to algorithmic manipulation of
00:46:17.600
content but something interesting happens when it overlaps with politics youtube gets scared to take
00:46:23.680
down liberal politics but has no problem taking down conservatives there have been many individuals
00:46:29.220
on youtube who get flagged relentlessly and suspended and banned for their political opinions
00:46:33.020
strangely liberals never seem to despite the fact that they seem to break all of the same rules that
00:46:39.460
youtube claims they're enforcing against notably algorithmic manipulation of content recently there was a
00:46:47.000
big story about ai generated trump videos that were really weird it was weird stories one that went viral
00:46:54.580
recently was that carolyn levitt was having a debate with someone and insulting a journalist i can't remember
00:47:01.560
exactly what someone fabricated this content now admittedly fabricating ai content is very different
00:47:08.760
from attacking the algorithm with a singular content purpose but i will tell you this without blowing up
00:47:16.660
anybody privately i know some comedians who got banned for focusing on one particular dark issue
00:47:22.540
it wasn't overtly political it didn't break the rules explicitly but youtube said it broke the rules
00:47:27.840
because it was promoting content that was detrimental to the audience that is in several instances people
00:47:35.980
for political reasons have been banned now to be fair i don't want david packman banned or brian tyler
00:47:43.960
cohen banned or luke beasley or many of these liberal personalities banned i want them to express their opinions
00:47:48.640
but i do believe that youtube should not allow this degree of algorithmic manipulation that these guys are
00:47:55.940
engaged in of course the challenge is because they're targeting trump they let it go take a look at this story
00:48:03.180
from wired dozens of youtube channels are showing ai generated cartoon gore and fetish content
00:48:09.920
yep they say a wide investigation found that dozens of youtube channels are using generative ai to depict
00:48:17.400
cartoon cats and minions being beaten starved and sexualized sparking fears of a new elsa gateway
00:48:22.080
we covered this on tim cast iRL just a few days ago we have this from mashable 2017 spider-man versus elsa
00:48:30.900
videos have taken over youtube and it's so confusing what is going on you can see the videos were taken down
00:48:35.680
this is where things get interesting if youtube were to adhere to their own policies they would
00:48:43.460
ban brian tyler cohen and david packman let me show you why
00:48:48.240
i know you guys are saying tim you've been talking about this a lot but i really do think we've got an elsa gate
00:48:53.480
phenomenon going on with these political actors
00:48:56.260
brian tyler cohen does have a big channel congratulations he gets lots of views
00:49:00.260
he gets 200 000 on one video 200 on this one 400 on this one 300
00:49:05.480
100 230 500 a lot of views a lot of views big channel
00:49:09.220
he's often featured on the default front page for people who are not subscribed to his channel
00:49:13.240
now what do you notice let's go through his video
00:49:16.740
trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump trump i'm sorry cory booker
00:49:24.500
trump trump trump trump trump trump trump scotus
00:49:28.160
trump trump trump trump trump you get the point
00:49:30.160
it looks like nine out of ten videos are literally just trump humiliated
00:49:36.300
trump write-offs rocked major bad news for for trump and republicans
00:49:41.020
uh trump's worst nightmare trump appointed judge trump trump trump scorched earth
00:49:53.920
these were videos where people would dress up like spider-man
00:50:02.640
the reason youtube started taking these things down
00:50:05.900
was that it was taking over youtube and destroying the experience
00:50:10.920
while you're not explicitly breaking the rules as we've defined them
00:50:29.020
it's like the third time i've shown you this stuff
00:53:26.260
the degree to which we allow people to talk about the president or not
