The Culture War - Tim Pool - TRUMP RAIDS DEMOCRAT FOR CORRUPTION

00:00:00.000 The FBI has executed a raid on the office of a top Democrat in Virginia, an individual who led

00:00:07.540 the cause for redistricting has now been accused of corruption. And you know what? It doesn't

00:00:13.980 matter what I think. It doesn't matter what you think. The big picture is this. The Republicans

00:00:19.040 will claim this is a justified investigation of corruption, and the Democrats will claim it is

00:00:24.800 the weaponization of the DOJ against Trump's political enemies. All that matters, the elites

00:00:30.140 in this country are embroiled in a civil war. I said it, but it's true. This is not the first

00:00:37.200 strike by law enforcement against political elites. It is one of the first we are seeing

00:00:42.440 where for apparently political reasons, the investigation is underway. Now, during the

00:00:49.520 Biden administration. We saw the DOJ go after Donald Trump, arrest his lawyers, arrest him

00:00:55.260 personally, raid his home. We saw at the state level false accusations of crimes. Now, with Donald

00:01:03.500 Trump in power, it appears the inverse is all the same. And now Trump supporters will argue they're

00:01:09.940 justified in these attempts. And I largely think that will be the case. But Democrats, of course,

00:01:14.940 will play the victim and say it's all one big manipulation. The reality is this is all connected,

00:01:23.320 particularly to the redistricting efforts. Now, I don't know the exact reason. As of the filming

00:01:29.540 of this video, we don't have the full details on the corruption raid. What is the accusation?

00:01:35.440 We don't know. But this is the woman in Virginia who proposed, who led the charge on redistricting.

00:01:42.940 In these midterms, it's not going to be about who is popular and who is correct.

00:01:48.580 It's going to be about who can win the most seats procedurally by redistricting their

00:01:53.880 states.

00:01:54.700 The Republicans in Indiana who defied Donald Trump, five of the seven have now lost their

00:02:00.900 primaries.

00:02:02.660 This is getting particularly serious.

00:02:05.320 Now, there's questions about the economy, about the war, about whether or not Trump

00:02:09.420 will run for a third term.

00:02:10.740 And certainly, I think for most people, they don't realize what time it is.

00:02:16.000 I can only say it this way.

00:02:18.320 Tennessee today announced that they would be redrawing their maps as well, eliminating

00:02:22.380 a Democrat seat.

00:02:23.940 And this means that in red states, there will be no Democrat representation.

00:02:28.880 In blue states, there will be no Republican representation.

00:02:31.980 The end result, of course, will be geographic hyperpolarization, the likes of which we've

00:02:36.720 not seen in a long time.

00:02:37.620 by 2030, due to internal migration, Democrats will be in a permanent minority. I don't know

00:02:46.160 how they'll recover from this, but it is an existential threat to the Democratic Party

00:02:51.600 and progressives in this country. They will be boxed out based on the current trends.

00:02:57.180 And now it appears the Trump administration is willing to exercise force, that is law enforcement

00:03:03.940 against people they would deem to be corrupt. Let me lay it out very simply for you, my friends.

00:03:10.460 Donald Trump is winning. It's not perfect. He's not winning everything. But the shuttering of

00:03:15.580 USAID and these fake climate change slush funds has limited the resources the deep state has

00:03:23.560 to create their permanent government, to maintain their permanent government.

00:03:28.480 Now, these elements of the deep state are trying to shore up Virginia as their last bastion.

00:03:33.120 And this is why we are seeing the DOJ go after them now, chasing them to their last stronghold.

00:03:41.700 From the surface, I got to say, it looks like the Trump administration, Trump and his allies

00:03:46.500 have secured an advantage on the chessboard so pronounced the deep state, the uniparty machine

00:03:53.100 will not be able to recover. This is the point in the chess game where any reasonable player

00:03:58.820 reaches out their hand to their opponent, accepting defeat.

00:04:03.120 But I can't say for sure, we only know what's going on surface level.

00:04:07.880 So let's break down the news, and I'll show you what the Democrats, the liberals,

00:04:11.760 and the progressives are saying about all this.

00:05:09.320 Here's the news from the AP.

00:05:11.360 FBI searches Virginia Senate leader's office as part of corruption probe, according to a source.

00:05:17.740 The search at Virginia Senator L. Louise Lucas's district office in Portsmouth comes after the Democrat helped lead the state's recent redistricting effort.

00:05:26.500 The FBI said only that I was conducting a court authorized search warrant in Portsmouth.

00:05:32.000 The person who confirmed the FBI search was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation

00:05:36.460 by name and spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity.

00:05:40.580 A message you can comment was left on a cell phone for Lucas.

00:05:44.240 Though the exact nature of the investigation was unclear, the search comes as the FBI and

00:05:48.780 DOJ have opened a spate of politically charged investigation into perceived adversaries of

00:05:54.160 Donald Trump.

00:05:55.320 Last week, for instance, the DOJ charged former FBI director James Comey with making a threatening

00:06:00.580 Instagram post against Trump, an accusation that Comey, who for nearly a decade has drawn

00:06:04.940 the president's ire, has denied a separate mortgage fraud case, ultimately dismissed

00:06:08.800 by a court, targeted Democratic New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who had brought

00:06:14.700 a major civil fraud lawsuit against Trump and his business.

00:06:17.620 Now, I got I got to stress this for you guys.

00:06:19.840 I'm going to step outside the partisan and go for the unbiased as best as I can.

00:06:24.100 Now, I think it's fair to point out my own personal biases. I supported Donald Trump in 2020 and 2024. I'm happy to see him win. I do not consider him to be a perfect individual. I think he's done many things that have been wrong.

00:06:36.880 Now, that being said, the civil fraud charge against Donald Trump claimed he misrepresented the size and the value of his properties to get more favorable loans, to get more money from these banks.

00:06:51.860 Particularly, they accuse him of claiming that a 13,000 square foot penthouse was actually 30,000 square feet.

00:07:00.400 However, Deutsche Bank, who offered the loan, claimed this was not correct.

00:07:04.820 They did their due diligence, corrected it, lowered their terms, were happy with the terms,

00:07:11.060 made money and would like to keep working with the Trump organization, not fraud.

00:07:16.500 Donald Trump's organization, not Trump personally, submitted paperwork.

00:07:21.420 Deutsche Bank went through it and said, hey, looks like you made a mistake.

00:07:25.280 More importantly, a disclaimer was added to these forms saying we may have made mistakes.

00:07:30.340 It is your responsibility to make sure it's all correct.

00:07:33.060 When Deutsche Bank went through these documents, determined the numbers may have been off,

00:07:36.920 they reduced the total loan amount, and they offered Trump money.

00:07:40.820 They were happy with the results.

00:07:42.620 For this, they tried seizing Trump's properties, claiming it was fraud.

00:07:47.040 Insane.

00:07:48.060 They also charged Trump in New York with falsifying business records in furtherance of the crime.

00:07:54.120 For the first time in the law's history, there was no unanimous decision as to what that crime even was.

00:08:00.900 More importantly, in the case, they literally stated Trump never instructed anyone to commit

00:08:07.160 a crime or falsify records.

00:08:09.380 His lawyer just decided that's what Trump wanted.

00:08:12.220 This is the degree of lawfare we are dealing with.

00:08:14.960 In fact, Jenna Ellis, Trump's lawyer, was criminally charged for providing a legal

00:08:19.940 service in drafting a letter at Trump's request.

00:08:23.020 And liberals still to this day claim, but if the lawyer wrote a letter and that letter

00:08:27.960 was in furtherance of a crime, it proves it.

00:08:30.360 You could never be a lawyer again if you could simply be accused of helping a criminal.

00:08:35.980 How about this? A criminal is accused of a crime and a lawyer drafts a letter on their behalf.

00:08:42.660 So they accuse the lawyer of being part of a conspiracy to commit a crime.

00:08:47.000 That's insane. But this is where we are.

00:08:51.900 Now, here's how the New Republic states it. FBI raids office of top Democratic leader in

00:08:56.640 redistricting wars. Virginia's L. Louise Lucas has been a brash and has been brash and unafraid 1.00

00:09:02.880 to stand up to Trump. Now she's become a target after a major victory. I want to stress Virginia's 0.99

00:09:08.160 not a victory. The court struck it down already. Multiple times they refused to issue an injunction.

00:09:12.920 We have not yet seen whether or not they will win. They go on to say she's an 82 year old

00:09:18.820 great grandmother and frequent critic of Republicans and President Trump, an ally

00:09:24.280 to Virginia's Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger.

00:09:28.120 She's CIA or something?

00:09:29.800 The Bureau reportedly has multiple search warrants

00:09:32.240 and is also writing a cannabis dispensary co-owned by Lucas Next Door.

00:09:35.780 Lucas has frequently advocated for marijuana legalization.

00:09:39.000 And in 2022, her business was found by the Virginia Mercury

00:09:42.320 to be selling Delta 9 THC, a substance illegal to sell in Virginia,

00:09:47.260 although many of the products in her store were found to be mislabeled.

00:09:50.680 Lucas is combative on social media,

00:09:53.040 posting memes in support of Virginia's redistricting effort and going toe-to-toe

00:09:57.360 with Republicans like President Trump and Senator Ted Cruz. That could be why she's

00:10:02.000 being targeted by the FBI, which under Director Cash Patel has vindictively pursued Trump's

00:10:07.520 critics. Here's a post, she said. Next week, we will return to Richmond to convene our 2026

00:10:13.220 legislative session. I'm getting ready to work. And I, it's her, it's Thanos with the infinity

00:10:21.200 gauntlet. These people don't even understand. They're the villains, do they? Apparently not.

00:10:28.480 She said, you all started it and we effing finished it.

00:10:34.000 I'm sorry. I try to be fair. I try to be fair, but I have to say this.

00:10:38.280 So I'll refrain from being more aggressive than I would normally be and just say.

00:10:44.060 For those that are not familiar, Texas tried redistricting in 2021. The Biden administration,

00:10:49.540 DOJ sued them to stop this, claiming these were racist districts. When the Trump administration

00:10:55.040 got in, they dropped the suit and then said, don't make racist districts. Same argument,

00:11:00.960 different result. This triggered a new map mid decade. Not that Texas was trying to wait this

00:11:07.420 long. They tried doing it in 2021. This kicked off a battle where California said, then we're

00:11:13.740 going to do it. Despite the fact it was the Biden DOJ that forced Texas in this position.

00:11:18.400 Republicans then said, let's roll, baby.

00:11:20.900 And war were declared.

00:11:22.760 And that's where we are. 0.68

00:11:24.340 You can say y'all started it.

00:11:26.380 But gerrymandering has been a problem for a long time.

00:11:29.440 Everyone's going to accuse everyone else.

00:11:31.060 Illinois is horribly gerrymandered.

00:11:32.660 And the Northeast has 40% Republicans in all these states and not a single seat for Republicans in most of these places.

00:11:40.600 So argue who you want started.

00:11:42.700 It doesn't matter.

00:11:43.840 This is a war.

00:11:46.020 She posted.

00:11:47.540 Virginians, the choice is now up to you on whether we stand up to Donald Trump's abuses

00:11:50.900 or just watch him gerrymander the rest of the country from the sidelines.

00:11:54.240 You can vote early today or vote on Tuesday at your normal polling place.

00:11:57.940 We get it.

00:11:59.300 Here's a quote.

00:12:00.500 NPR reported this in April.

00:12:03.360 Quote, I said in August of 25, the maps will be 10 to 1 and I'm sticking with that today.

00:12:08.180 Anyone in the congressional delegation who wants a seat needs to campaign for it and

00:12:12.540 not expect a safe seat.

00:12:14.880 Indeed.

00:12:15.920 It's not a first run with the law in 2020. 0.83

00:12:18.300 She turned herself in to face charges in connection with the dismantling of a Confederate monument.

00:12:23.200 Virginia State Senator L. Louise Lucas is working at the Statehouse in this photo.

00:12:28.340 We get it. 0.94

00:12:29.540 She's a culture warrior.

00:12:31.340 Now, I want you to understand, before we get into all the details on the redistricting stuff,

00:12:34.340 I want you to understand what is happening.

00:12:36.460 I don't know everything.

00:12:38.740 Only surface-level pieces of the puzzle have been put together.

00:12:40.940 Lee Zeldin tells Pod Force One how Obama and Biden alums cashed in on $20 billion climate slush fund.

00:12:50.260 Indeed, take a look at this from Daily Kos.

00:12:52.940 $4 billion lost.

00:12:55.680 James Walkinshaw urges youth organizers to fight for USAID.

00:13:00.180 I'm livid.

00:13:02.080 Here's the way the machine worked.

00:13:04.020 The government would issue grants to U.S., would give money to USAID.

00:13:07.640 It was under the guise of supporting nonprofits and helping the less than abled and impoverished around the world, no less.

00:13:19.100 This is actually U.S. manipulation and some would argue a good thing for U.S. interests around the world.

00:13:24.660 USAID would provide money to various NGOs in different countries to promote certain ideologies, typically pro-West, pro-U.S., pro-EU.

00:13:33.820 However, according to the story, the money would also go to American nonprofits for various causes.

00:13:41.220 These NGOs would filter the money around through circuitous means.

00:13:45.500 The money would end up in the pockets of Democrats and Republicans alike to prop up the permanent government.

00:13:50.940 It was all fake.

00:13:51.720 In 2016, Donald Trump, an insurgent candidate, along with Bernie Sanders, challenged the machine.

00:13:59.540 Bernie Sanders was crushed.

00:14:01.600 The Republican neocon uniparty shills fled the party and joined the Democrats.

00:14:06.380 Take a look at the Lincoln Project.

00:14:07.660 There are many people who used to be conservatives, now back everything Democrats do.

00:14:11.640 This was the first crack in the glass.

00:14:15.080 Donald Trump was not supposed to win. 0.85

00:14:16.760 So they accused him of being a Russian spy, a Russian asset, a traitor to his country.

00:14:20.860 They obstructed him, impeached him multiple times, tried to put him in prison, raided

00:14:26.800 his home, arrested his lawyers, arrested him.

00:14:30.240 They didn't put him in prison.

00:14:31.680 They put him in jail and tried to put him in prison.

00:14:34.840 Here we are.

00:14:36.160 The battle is afoot.

00:14:38.040 Trump destroyed USAID for a reason.

00:14:40.260 It was propping up the deep state.

00:14:42.440 Lee Zeldin found that there was a nonprofit that had been in existence only for around

00:14:47.300 one month that was given a $7 billion grant.

00:14:51.380 For what?

00:14:52.660 Well, again, as the story goes, this money was going to be cycled through various NGOs

00:14:58.400 and foundations to ultimately turn into donations for politicians so they would have access to

00:15:04.900 seemingly unlimited funds to maintain their control of our government. And now it is being

00:15:11.220 ripped to shreds. USAID was crushed and many of these people lived in Fairfax County, Loudoun

00:15:17.820 County. These individuals in Virginia are intelligence, deep state. They're lawyers.

00:15:24.840 They exist to prop up this machine.

00:15:27.280 They received free money as part of the permanent government.

00:15:30.280 It was American nobility, and they're pissed.

00:15:33.600 With their ousting and the shuddering of USAID, they're trying to form their last bastion

00:15:38.820 in Virginia, and Trump is hunting them down.

00:15:42.920 Now, here's where it gets real fun.

00:15:44.920 The FBI is reportedly investigating a leak to an Atlantic writer.

00:15:48.800 Sarah Fitzpatrick report on concerns about Kash Patel's drinking and behavior.

00:15:52.040 You know, I want to explain to you guys the personal involvement I have, only a little bit.

00:16:01.420 In 2024, Merrick Garland came out just before the election and accused I, as well as Benny

00:16:06.860 Johnson, Dave Rubin, and others of inadvertently taking money from the Russians.

00:16:12.280 Now, there's a few questions there. What was the money for? What did the money do?

00:16:17.100 Did the money have an impact on operations for any of these individuals? The answer is,

00:16:21.080 it didn't. The money did nothing. It changed nothing. No one was directed to do anything.

00:16:26.800 Well, that's strange. Turns out a month after the election, they dropped it. Now,

00:16:32.920 the case is technically open, but it's been dropped in every conceivable mean. In fact,

00:16:38.940 Lauren Chen, who ran Tenet Media, said that she was instructed, she was informed only a few months

00:16:43.520 ago that it was officially dead. Well, the reality is there could be no investigation

00:16:47.760 because the individual's indicted for allegedly funneling money to this Tennessee company.

00:16:51.840 Nobody knows who they are.

00:16:52.680 No one has seen them, and no one knows whether they exist or not.

00:16:55.560 Nor can the United States investigate Eastern European countries like this.

00:16:59.580 So what was the real purpose?

00:17:02.020 This is what the deep state machine does.

00:17:04.660 Merrick Garland went and gave a press conference accusing us of what?

00:17:10.040 The Culture War podcast, the channel you are watching now,

00:17:13.940 at the time was largely nonpolitical for a reason.

00:17:17.760 The show was either typically debate format, conversation format. We covered things like

00:17:23.060 aliens and theology and geocentrism. Here's the important point. The money was minimal

00:17:29.740 relative to the money generated by my company. It was insignificant, didn't change anything.

00:17:37.040 We've not increased or decreased. They wanted to make it seem like it was a big number.

00:17:42.640 We were never instructed to produce any content,

00:17:44.980 nor do I think there's any political value in content related to flat earth and aliens

00:17:50.720 and the earth's axis tilting or anything like that. So none of the arguments make sense. The

00:17:56.360 only thing that makes sense is that Merrick Garland and the Democrats intended to besmirch

00:18:02.780 the name of independent media personalities, individuals who exist outside that ecosystem

00:18:08.100 who are calling them out. These people are evil. I don't work for anybody. I'm funded by no one 0.95

00:18:14.000 but myself. I built this company through my efforts and then the assisted efforts of those

00:18:18.080 who eventually came to join the company. And they can't have free speech. They can't have

00:18:23.360 individuals calling out their machine. So they personally attacked me.

00:18:29.860 Only one thing was accomplished. My life has not changed with or without any of the money

00:18:35.180 because it was largely insignificant. It was a licensing deal to rebroadcast this show.

00:18:40.540 that's it this channel still has a million and a half subscribers my morning show still has two

00:18:46.420 point uh what is it at two two million forty thousand timcast irl still has two point seven

00:18:51.740 our website membership is still in the tens of thousands and growing and uh none of our other

00:18:57.300 deals were effective affected our merchandising continues to grow so what was the point

00:19:01.500 it was to smear our names it was to strip us of our credibility it was a psyop by these individuals

00:19:09.300 in the deep state. Now, the reason I bring this up is because we can now take a look at what

00:19:14.600 happened to Kash Patel. The Atlantic ran a fake story accusing Kash Patel of being a drunkard.

00:19:19.740 I know Kash Patel. I have friends who play on a hockey team with him. He plays on a hockey team

00:19:26.040 in D.C. I have not known Kash Patel to drink. I'm sure he does. Pelley at a bar had a few drinks.

00:19:32.820 Every time he's come on my show or I've been in his presence, he has been reasonable. In fact,

00:19:37.100 I don't even know if I've ever seen him drink at all. What is this narrative? It's shocking to me.

00:19:42.640 They claimed him to be a drunkard. This is the game they play. Character assassination and lies.

00:19:49.180 They lie about cash, claiming he drinks. They they they they make these things up.

00:19:55.420 Why? To sow doubt. To make the American people doubt the efforts of the FBI director.

00:20:03.480 Ask yourself this about those who are currently attacking Kash Patel right now, who is leading the charge going after deep state cronies.

00:20:11.460 It's happening.

00:20:13.300 They say nearly three weeks of The Atlantic reported that some government officials were alarmed by FBI Director Kash Patel's behavior, including conspicuous inebriation and unexplained absences.

00:20:24.020 MS now reported this morning that the Bureau has launched a criminal leak investigation.

00:20:27.920 MSNOW reported that there is concern among FBI agents assigned to the investigation, citing two people familiar with the matter who were granted anonymity.

00:20:36.100 Leak investigations are typically focused on government officials, not on journalists.

00:20:39.780 They know they're not supposed to do this, one source told MSNOW.

00:20:42.760 But if they don't go forward, they could lose their jobs.

00:20:45.500 You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. 0.95

00:20:48.360 Good. It's all fake. It's war, my friends. 0.99

00:20:53.460 Cash Patel is not a drunkard.

00:20:54.640 he's an athlete. He plays hockey. I've seen the photos. I have friends who are on, who play with

00:21:01.900 him. In fact, I think people here at Timcast might actually play hockey against or with him. I'm not

00:21:08.360 sure. It's a lie. It's a lie to character assassinate Kash Patel because all he's really

00:21:16.200 doing is enforcing the law. He's moving a lot of these agents from the political side of things

00:21:21.260 into the street level crime like he said he would. I'm not I'm not going to pretend he's

00:21:25.000 perfect. I'm not going to pretend he did a great job on Epstein or any of that stuff. I don't know.

00:21:29.420 But, you know, when they're going after him, it's for a reason. And this is what we're currently

00:21:34.300 looking at. Now, take a look at this in the redistricting effort. The war is on. Supreme

00:21:40.720 Court rejects long shot bid to recall Louisiana mandate in the latest ruling from SCOTUS.

00:21:46.720 There was an attempt to stop Louisiana, Alabama, and these other states from redistricting.

00:21:54.440 Wednesday, May 6th, Louisiana v. Calais, Robinson Press et al. v. Calais, Philip et al.

00:22:01.020 The motion of Press Robinson et al. to recall the judgment is denied.

00:22:06.140 Not even a statement from Ketanji Brown Jackson just straight up shut down.

00:22:12.600 The NRF on May 1st asked SCOTUS to deny Alabama's attempt to disrupt an ongoing election.

00:22:19.500 Indeed, it's not just Louisiana.

00:22:21.900 Democrats are trying to stop every state from redistricting.

00:22:25.600 Of course they would.

00:22:27.040 It's all lies.

00:22:30.080 In Virginia, they are putting five districts in one county, Fairfax, where the deep state operates.

00:22:36.820 What do I mean by deep state?

00:22:37.620 These are people who made a living doing nothing but getting money from the government from your pocket, cycled into their pockets to create a permanent government.

00:22:47.960 That's what deep state means.

00:22:49.740 Permanent government is the unbiased term.

00:22:53.180 Individuals whose income was tied to the fact that government was funneling money to NGOs and legal firms so they could make sure that Democrats and Republicans both would win forever.

00:23:02.180 And they live in Loudoun County and Fairfax County.

00:23:05.480 and they are pissed. But here's the thing. California redistricted, Virginia redistricted.

00:23:14.200 You see them fighting to stop Republican states from doing it. If it was really about the

00:23:18.940 principle, they'd say, go ahead and do it, too. We'll do it the same. It's not.

00:23:22.880 It is them saying we'll do it, whether you do or don't, and we'll try and stop you if you do.

00:23:27.360 Democrats celebrated when Indiana reps refused to redistrict and then they moved forward anyway.

00:23:36.540 That was the deal. Republicans in Indiana said, no, we're not going to do this. We're not going

00:23:40.780 to redraw the districts. And Democrats went, thank you so much. Redraw our districts. Screw

00:23:45.500 them. That was the game. Well, five of the seven who did just lost their primaries because Republicans

00:23:53.880 can see the writing on the wall. It's war. I'm sorry. It's just war. South Carolina has joined

00:24:01.600 the redistricting push as of this morning. Republicans are rapidly pursuing redistricting

00:24:07.440 efforts across the South following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that affects majority

00:24:11.360 black congressional districts. Indeed, it affects all racially drawn districts. Mississippi House

00:24:18.020 to hold redistricting session at Jim Crow era capital. So it has begun, my friends.

00:24:25.100 This is a war. They will pull every trick they can. And if you think it's bad now,

00:24:32.380 wait till next year. Wait till 2028. It's going to get bad. It's going to get real bad.

00:24:39.620 i'm going to tell you what to expect

00:24:42.520 i don't know that ai really is the principal issue here i was talking to joe rogan several years ago

00:24:51.020 and he asked me what i thought about ai video and i said i didn't think it was a big deal i was like

00:24:56.040 there's already fake videos people got to sort these things out i was wrong but i would say this

00:25:00.360 today you know i mentioned this earlier today the weirdest thing i don't really understand um i think

00:25:07.300 have a general idea. I can throw some theories out there. There are individual accounts,

00:25:11.240 conspiracy accounts, that have been for a long time now sharing fake videos of me on IRL

00:25:17.240 defending Israel or, you know, just like these weird pro-Israel posts or statements that are

00:25:24.680 not real. They're not AI. They're just edits. So they'll take a clip from Timcast IRL where

00:25:31.200 someone makes a comment about Israel, and then they'll take a different thing unrelated to that

00:25:35.400 and have me respond to it to make it sound like I'm saying things like Israel never did anything

00:25:40.540 wrong or anything like that. Now, why would they do that? It's weird. There's also a fake

00:25:47.880 AI video of Erica Kirk doing weird things. They took the video of Erica Kirk responding to

00:25:53.300 Candace Owens. They AI edited it so that she's making a weird face and just like looking very

00:25:57.980 odd. Now, all of these idiots on social media share it thinking it's real. I'll tell you what 1.00

00:26:05.460 I think. I think this is deep state. I think this is the last efforts. I think they're trying.

00:26:11.060 They need to pull people away from Donald Trump. They need to pull suburban women away from Donald

00:26:15.940 Trump. And I think Donald Trump sees this and knows he's not going to win a vote. So they're 1.00

00:26:20.700 going for procedural victories. The Democrats counter by redistricting. The play is this.

00:26:26.140 Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, whether deep state or otherwise, are all

00:26:30.620 advocating for people to vote for Democrats.

00:26:33.720 Strange, whatever you might think.

00:26:36.360 Trump's not going to win that fight. 1.00

00:26:38.880 Suburban women are not going to back Donald Trump again. 1.00

00:26:42.040 They largely got behind Trump because of Maha, RFK Jr. 1.00

00:26:46.400 Candace Owens runs a female-coated show where she has the Stanley mug. 1.00

00:26:51.560 She does Blake Lively drama, and then she gets political and attacks Turning Point. 1.00

00:26:56.520 Why?

00:26:57.380 Turning Point is the most effective means at getting young people to vote Republican.

00:27:02.640 Someone killed Charlie Kirk.

00:27:04.680 Let me give you a surface level hypothesis.

00:27:07.240 Probably wrong, but here's what I assess.

00:27:10.620 Donald Trump wins.

00:27:12.940 Republicans win in 2024.

00:27:15.260 Nothing the Democrats could have done.

00:27:17.440 Charlie Kirk, Turning Point, too massive, too powerful a change was coming.

00:27:21.560 Charlie Kirk was killed by an individual. It is believed to be Tyler Robinson. They say he acted

00:27:27.460 alone. I don't know that's the case. There were people who posted online that they had foreknowledge.

00:27:32.460 It's seemingly that they had foreknowledge of the event. Vehicles were seen outside his home.

00:27:37.200 Ask yourself the simple question, Ki Bono, who benefits? I learned that one from Alex Jones.

00:27:42.560 Does Israel benefit from killing the most pro-Israel guy who was making videos supporting

00:27:46.580 Israel? No. Well, who does? Now they say, yeah, but Charlie was turning on Israel. One post and

00:27:53.000 they kill him. That's silly. The Democrats do. Candace Owens then comes out and says. 1.00

00:27:59.940 Stop supporting Turning Point USA and pull your donations, accuses Erica Kirk of killing her own 0.98

00:28:05.260 husband. She did. She's going to claim I never said those words and so are her followers. But

00:28:09.840 I think it's all fake. I think what we're looking at is an effort to fracture the right and destroy

00:28:14.720 the populist right. One through the use of targeting Israel, which, you know, Israel sucks 0.99

00:28:20.440 for a variety of reasons. That's fine. Not a proponent of Israel. So why then make videos 1.00

00:28:25.980 to make it look like I do defend Israel? Division. The deep state needs to shatter the right so that 0.65

00:28:32.040 people stop getting behind Donald Trump. And I think they're doing a decent job. It won't matter

00:28:36.360 though, because Donald Trump is going for a procedural win. He's redistricting in all of

00:28:40.860 these states and the people who don't get behind him are losing. I see. You know, it's a very

00:28:45.840 interesting thing. It's very, very funny. I see these other posts, too. It's psychological

00:28:50.680 manipulation on social media. I'm going to put it like this. Guys, don't trust. You know what?

00:28:56.720 Can I actually maybe pull up a clip? No, I'm not going to pull it up.

00:29:01.660 I have a series of videos that have over a million views in the past couple of months.

00:29:07.120 My morning show from, I think, what is it?

00:29:09.620 Yesterday is like 300K.

00:29:11.680 The day before that, what is it, Wednesday?

00:29:13.560 It's 700K last week, 800.

00:29:17.640 A couple episodes of Teamcast IRL cracked over a million.

00:29:20.620 Our viewership is actually jumping way up.

00:29:23.480 Are we staunch defenders of everything Trump does?

00:29:25.660 No.

00:29:26.060 Are we critical of the Iran war?

00:29:27.240 We are.

00:29:28.040 Do we try to assess it from a surface level position based on foreign policy reporting?

00:29:31.740 We do.

00:29:33.600 And yet we're doing very well.

00:29:35.940 Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson's claiming 56.8 million views per episode, which is just not possible.

00:29:41.700 But all these people online are just celebrating as if it's true.

00:29:45.900 Here's what I think.

00:29:46.860 Certainly you're allowed to criticize the war.

00:29:48.580 I'm not a big fan of it, but I think I can see what Trump is doing and I can see what's

00:29:52.040 going on with the deep state.

00:29:53.180 It's not a guarantee and we don't know for sure.

00:29:54.880 It's all surface level and I'm probably wrong, but it looks like this.

00:29:57.760 Everything I mentioned with Charlie Kirk, we get that point, the procedural victories

00:30:01.340 and then foreign policy.

00:30:02.240 I think Trump's administration in the military under Trump is trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz

00:30:06.340 closed intentionally. I don't think they're trying to keep it open because it's their fault

00:30:11.220 it's closed. Certainly, you can argue that Trump is making a bunch of mistakes and he's floundering.

00:30:15.600 That was always allowed. However, taking Venezuela, surrounding Cuba are intentional acts that

00:30:20.420 occurred before the war with Iran, which shut the Strait of Hormuz. Shuttering the Strait of Hormuz

00:30:25.060 cut off China from 40 to 50 percent of its oil imports. We are now looking at countries around

00:30:30.380 the world being desperate for fuel because 20 percent has been cut off. The U.S. has become

00:30:35.520 just about become a net oil exporter for the first time since World War Two.

00:30:40.700 OPEC is basically destroyed and the UAE is now leaving. Trump has crushed the liberal economic

00:30:46.440 order. And for this, the deep state is trying desperately to counter it. I don't know exactly

00:30:53.020 what's happening, but I can tell you this. There are weird fake videos meant to malign me.

00:30:58.440 there's efforts to claim that those who oppose Donald Trump's efforts and those who oppose the

00:31:04.540 war are doing better in terms of viewership. Maybe I just think that we're in the off season

00:31:10.480 and views are generally down. There are a lot of people that are spam blasting. Tim cast viewership

00:31:16.840 is gone. Ben Shapiro's viewership is gone. The Daily Wire laid off half its staff. None of that

00:31:21.860 is true. Our viewership is actually up season over season. And we've had a handful of episodes

00:31:28.000 crack a million views. We typically do 600, 700,000. A couple of my morning shows have

00:31:33.040 cracked, you know, 700,000, 800,000 recently, more views than I typically get on these videos,

00:31:37.140 which on average do about 200,000. Sometimes they do less, depending on what I talk about.

00:31:42.480 So what is this weird PSYOP? Why is Candace Owens working with pronounced Zionists? 1.00

00:31:48.340 Why are lawyers working in a building in Delaware with federal agents? 1.00

00:31:51.880 Why is she attacking Trump and telling people to vote Democrat? Why is Nick Fuentes?

00:31:56.380 I don't think it's organic. There are certainly organic movements, grifters that think they'll

00:32:03.420 get more views by going in that direction, and they do. What I can tell you is, my friends,

00:32:09.040 we are deep in a civil war among the elites. My fear is that it goes kinetic, and I hope it does

00:32:16.740 not. It looks like Trump is winning. I guess we'll just wait and see. But the use of the FBI

00:32:23.820 is just another step in the use of law enforcement in this battle.

00:32:28.060 You tell me what you think. Maybe I'm wrong. I will tell you this. Let me just give you a

00:32:33.540 through line. October 7th, on the issue of Israel, said it was bad. It was atrocity.

00:32:40.600 I don't support Netanyahu. In fact, I think Netanyahu is bad for Israel and probably should

00:32:44.180 not be prime minister. However, or I think, is he still the prime minister? He bounces back and

00:32:48.580 forth, right? They always do this. I think we should cut off funding to Israel. AIPAC should

00:32:53.240 register as these individuals as lobbyists, as foreign agents. I don't care if they're Americans.

00:32:57.900 I don't support Russia. I think Russia is terrible. I think Vladimir Putin is a despot. 0.98

00:33:01.100 China is certainly awful. I think America is much, much better. Morally, we are the number one 0.99

00:33:05.700 country. All of that being said, we have maintained this through line the whole time.

00:33:11.460 Don't care about Israel. Don't care for Israel. I view just another country, 0.95

00:33:14.120 and I don't support them. Ambivalent largely. I view the problems in the Middle East the same

00:33:21.220 as I view it in China or in Africa. So what is this narrative switch? Who are these people now

00:33:27.520 who say that I support Israel when I don't? And why is that an issue? Who are these people to

00:33:31.960 claim that I am arguing we should not question the Charlie Kirk assassination when we literally on

00:33:37.020 this show hosted a debate on the assassination of Charlie Kirk? It's all fake. It could just

00:33:42.820 be that there are individuals who are lying for clicks. But I think at least a component of it

00:33:47.180 is an attempt to divide.

00:33:49.240 Lie, cheat, steal, and smear

00:33:50.500 has been the game they've played.

00:33:52.040 They're lying about Kash Patel.

00:33:53.820 They're lying about me.

00:33:55.300 They're trying to fracture and divide

00:33:56.920 the populist right to stop Trump from winning.

00:34:00.000 In the end, if Trump wins

00:34:01.980 on the redistricting effort,

00:34:03.040 it won't matter.

00:34:03.960 Trump will win anyway.

00:34:04.940 We'll see.

00:34:05.920 I'm going to leave it there, my friend.

00:34:07.040 Smash the like button.

00:34:07.860 Share the show with everyone you know.

00:34:08.680 Stick around.

00:34:09.040 We got more coming up tonight at 8 p.m.

00:34:11.180 Timcast IRL.

00:34:12.780 Thanks for hanging out.

00:34:13.820 And we'll see you all then.
