00:00:00.000 Tucker Carlson accuses Ben Shapiro of being manufactured, of being created.
00:00:06.300 They propped him up.
00:00:07.700 He was a tool to spread a boomer neocon ideology to young people.
00:00:12.700 And it worked for a while.
00:00:14.420 I saw this and I just got to say it's all fake and everyone's lying.
00:00:20.760 And it's just so boring.
00:00:23.620 You know what I'll tell you?
00:00:24.600 So this is all about Burrito Gate.
00:00:27.200 For those that aren't familiar, there was a viral post where some Gen Z young men said burritos shouldn't cost $20.
00:00:34.820 And they are correct. Burritos should not cost $20.
00:00:38.000 And this sparked the great burrito debate.
00:00:40.900 Now, I know it's kind of silly.
00:00:42.300 It latches on to our psyche because it's the burrito.
00:00:45.500 And it's a kind of funny way to meme-ify the conversation around affordability of good, healthy food.
00:00:51.320 Because the truth is, if you want to get a burrito from Taco Bell, you can get one for about $3 or $4.
00:00:55.400 It's just not a burrito you'd want to eat.
00:00:58.700 That being said, I love Taco Bell.
00:01:01.100 I can probably go get Taco Bell later today, and that's not a joke.
00:01:04.160 But I stay away from their flour.
00:01:06.840 I don't eat none of that stuff, okay?
00:01:08.520 The point is, if you want to get real food, if you want chicken breast,
00:01:13.100 if you want real rice and some actual cheese and sour cream and guacamole,
00:01:17.420 all the things that a growing boy needs, yeah, your burrito's going to cost $20.
00:01:20.980 When the Burrito Gate debate started, Jack Posobiec came on Timcast IRL, and we ordered five burritos from Chipotle.
00:01:27.480 To be fair, we used DoorDash.
00:01:29.920 The total cost, at the end of the day, was about $20 per burrito.
00:01:34.540 Now, a chicken burrito from Chipotle actually is $13, and the steak burrito was $16, but with delivery tip and all that stuff, came out to about $21, $22 per burrito.
00:01:43.760 I guess, technically, you could just go pick the burrito up.
00:01:46.300 The point is, we want to eat good food.
00:01:48.640 This sparked a big debate where Ben Shapiro said, here's what you do.
00:01:52.220 You save money, you move in together, and you work really hard.
00:01:57.400 We've got it better than we've ever had it.
00:02:00.000 And of course, there are other people on the right who said, guys, no, we've got to talk
00:02:03.380 about affordability.
00:02:04.040 We're going to lose elections because of this.
00:02:06.120 And there lies the big challenge.
00:02:07.600 Me, I'm a moderate guy.
00:02:09.200 I'm not a hardcore conservative.
00:02:10.680 No matter how many times people try to say it, this ain't going to be true.
00:02:13.980 And I actually think, yes, there is an element.
00:02:17.260 I do agree with working hard and sacrificing, but come on, we need a functioning system.
00:02:23.580 The solution to the fact that people can't eat good food is not just to say work harder.
00:02:28.440 I agree to a certain extent with Ben Shapiro that life is better these days, but young
00:02:33.700 people are not having families.
00:02:35.040 They can't afford houses.
00:02:36.320 The burrito debate is a memification of the affordability crisis and our cultural problems.
00:02:44.940 That being said, I heard what Tucker Carlson had to say about Ben Shapiro.
00:02:49.300 And guys, it really makes me want to just bash my face on the table in front of me.
00:02:54.580 I'm going to be real, which is we're in a political lull.
00:03:00.840 It's fairly obvious to everybody.
00:03:03.120 Surprisingly, I will say, you know, everybody's viewership is down to a certain degree on YouTube.
00:03:08.900 We're doing pretty well.
00:03:09.980 we're doing between 25 and 30,000 concurrent viewers on Timcast IRL, which is like kind of
00:03:14.880 normal for the same point where we were four years ago. But four years ago in the previous cycle,
00:03:19.120 we had we had the BLM riots. We had Trumpism at its peak at the 2020 election. This resulted in
00:03:27.600 the covid lockdowns. I mean, people were glued to the screens. And right now, people are desperate.
00:03:36.000 There's so little to talk about.
00:03:38.080 I'm not going to pretend.
00:03:40.000 You know, sometimes I do stories.
00:03:41.320 I did a story yesterday.
00:03:42.180 I wasn't even talking about.
00:03:43.400 I talked about, you know, the Gen Z family crisis pretty well.
00:03:46.640 It's got like 250K views or something.
00:03:49.560 That's the business.
00:03:50.960 But I see a lot of this stuff.
00:03:52.540 And I see Tucker Carlson talking about Ben Shapiro on my slow news day there, Tucker.
00:03:57.460 And although it's fair to say probably to me a slow news day there, Tim, the first thing I'll say is you damn right.
00:04:04.580 It's a slow news day.
00:04:06.700 No, but there's a lot of things that I could talk about.
00:04:09.360 We've got the, you know, Brandon Herrera just went and bought a suppressor.
00:04:12.440 Let's go.
00:04:13.560 Probably the coolest thing ever.
00:04:15.560 The NFA tax being erased.
00:04:17.480 Suppressors are now on the table, boys, but we're not quite there.
00:04:20.220 Still waiting for ATF rules, but it's good, good news.
00:04:23.240 I'll talk about that stuff.
00:04:24.260 We'll get those videos going.
00:04:25.820 But I saw this video from Tucker, and I want to play it for you, and I want to play for
00:04:29.340 you what Ben said.
00:04:30.980 And the bigger question is, was Ben Shapiro created?
00:04:33.160 And I love I love the inner workings of the media. And so I'm going to, as I often do, spill the beans on the inner workings of the media. Conversations that I've had with people, conversations I've had with The Daily Wire. I don't really know much about where they are right now. Conversations that I've had with powerful political ideologues and the money they want to spend and why they want to spend it.
00:04:54.740 That is to say, Ben Shapiro is not a psyop. He wasn't created, but he certainly was funded.
00:05:02.120 That's true by people with ideological interests. And that will always be the case.
00:05:09.040 X Trending says Tucker Carlson accuses Ben Shapiro of being created by Israel.
00:05:13.540 I don't think that Tucker explicitly said Israel on the show. Carlson dismissed Shapiro's advice
00:05:17.960 to appreciate affordable foods like burritos amid inflation and whining over goyslop
00:05:21.800 while questioning Shapiro's Harvard admission
00:05:24.840 and Daily Wire deals as propped up by Israel
00:05:27.900 to a certain extent.
00:05:29.540 Did you guys know that 7-Eleven's brand is called Go Yum?
00:05:34.140 I just want to point that one out.
00:05:37.320 Go Yum.
00:05:38.440 And now you get out of these people,
00:05:39.520 they're like, it's Go Yum!
00:05:41.000 It's slop food from 7-Eleven.
00:05:43.660 You know, you don't have to eat it.
00:05:46.520 The issue is that people do.
00:05:48.320 Let's talk about it.
00:05:49.580 Here's the clip from one of the clips from Tucker Carlson's show.
00:05:52.800 Many of you may have seen, but let's play.
00:05:54.420 We're not playing this to suggest that Ben Shapiro was like a shaper of history, a mover in American politics.
00:06:01.620 He's not. Ben Shapiro is.
00:06:04.260 OK, look, man. I think Tucker is as fake as they come.
00:06:08.800 I just do. I know that, you know, I've had producers come to me and I've had companies come to me in big networks.
00:06:15.260 And they say, Tim, you should chill out, not accuse people of things, open up.
00:06:21.440 They're all, you know, look at Lex Fridman.
00:06:22.880 He can interview anybody because he's not going to.
00:06:24.560 I'm like, listen, I call it like I see it, but fair point.
00:06:27.720 And so I'll try to be better in the future.
00:06:31.560 We got a big thing.
00:06:32.320 Like, it's massive here at Timcast.
00:06:34.520 It's crazy.
00:06:36.100 We got a massive expansion.
00:06:37.440 We're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:06:39.120 It's nuts what's going on.
00:06:41.040 Agency connections, big deals on the horizon.
00:06:43.680 and it's, it's, it's, it's, it's big, you know, and this is part of it, which I'll get to a
00:06:48.060 second, but I've got these people saying, you know, we just launched the Tim Pool show, guys,
00:06:51.200 go subscribe to the Tim Pool show if you haven't already, and already I got these people being
00:06:55.660 like, bro, you got to chill, you can't just call Tucker Carlson fake, and I'm like, okay, okay,
00:07:01.720 okay, because they're like, are you ever going to go on his show, are you going to talk to him,
00:07:05.940 he's going to be offended by it, he's not going to invite you on, look, Candace,
00:07:07.920 you know she's she's pissed at you and i'm like yeah yeah yeah look man i've only ever just been
00:07:14.520 a random guy who complains on the internet that's kind of the thing which is why i want to talk
00:07:18.200 about this so let me let me let me let me get back to it i do want to give a quick shout out
00:07:21.860 though to casprew.com guys if you haven't already this is what helps sustain us we have a coffee
00:07:25.960 company it seriously is some of the best coffee no all jokes aside i normally do a bunch of jokes
00:07:30.640 about this but we uh we started this several years ago selling coffee like crazy uh my family
00:07:36.480 in a coffee shop when I was a little kid, so I've always been around coffee and worked with it.
00:07:40.080 I formulated the blend of Appalachian Nights personally, because I like a dark roast,
00:07:44.460 earthy, chocolatey kind of flavor. And I got to be honest, it's the best coffee I've ever had.
00:07:50.620 Seriously, I was given a bunch of different blends. I combined the flavor profiles that I liked.
00:07:54.420 We told them the percentages that we want. They go in the machinery. They blend it all into a bag,
00:08:00.360 send it to us. And I was like, holy, this is perfect. It sells like crazy. So guys,
00:08:05.460 go to cast brew.com pick up some cast we got whole bean we got ground coffee we got k cups get it all
00:08:11.660 and i and we got bottled water and flavored coffees a bunch of really great stuff support the work
00:08:16.100 we're doing let's get back to play what tucker carlson has to say he's an employee like most
00:08:21.820 everybody else he's doing what he's told he represents larger interests obviously so why
00:08:26.560 bother to replay and then rebut something that ben shapiro said well in an effort to speak to
00:08:34.680 the people who put him up to it. So the whole point of Ben Shapiro, and there is a point to
00:08:40.080 Ben Shapiro, this is not like some organic phenomenon. Ben Shapiro was just so charming
00:08:43.340 and brilliant that he somehow got into Harvard Law School and then eyebrows and all emerged as
00:08:48.020 a social media titan. No, of course not. Ben Shapiro had a deal with Facebook, a deal no one
00:08:54.920 else got. And so the point of Ben Shapiro was, here's a way to send a very specific message to
00:09:01.800 outline and sell a very specific worldview to young people. Ben Shapiro is an old person's
00:09:08.120 idea of a young person. He is a spokesman for a group of older people aimed at younger people.
00:09:16.120 I have an idea. Let's get Ben Shapiro. This guy, Ben Shapiro, he's brilliant. He's a really
00:09:20.700 promising young kid. And we'll get him to sell free market economics and a robust Reaganite
00:09:25.980 foreign policy to the young folks. And by the way, it kind of worked for a while,
00:09:30.860 thanks to the trans movement, which you suspect they also kind of concocted
00:09:34.000 the same group, but whatever, wherever that came from, for a while, Ben Shapiro seemed like he was
00:09:40.240 on the side of common sense and he's for free speech and he's against the trans lunacy,
00:09:44.160 et cetera, et cetera. But always from day one, the point was Ben Shapiro is going to sell this
00:09:50.360 very specific version of economics, not capitalism, bears no resemblance to anything Adam Smith
00:09:58.900 advocated for, but the kind of modern American monopoly arrangement where six companies can
00:10:06.860 behave like countries, have sovereignty, unlike our own nation, and control every part of your
00:10:12.900 life through debt, which is kind of broad but fairly accurate definition of our current economic
00:10:19.680 system. So sell that and then sell the even harder to pitch idea that it's unpatriotic
00:10:27.520 to oppose wars for Israel. Like, first of all, it's obviously anti-Semitic. I mean,
00:10:32.700 it's just an expression of hate if you don't want to regime change some country you can't
00:10:36.680 find on a map. Obviously, you're a bigot. You're basically a Nazi. In fact, you must
00:10:40.300 be for Hitler. You probably are opposed to the Second World War too. You probably have
00:10:44.260 problems with churchill it's literally immoral to oppose ben shapiro's employers foreign policy
00:10:53.680 and there it is kind of his employers foreign policy i'm gonna interject here um this all
00:11:01.900 started because ben shapiro said eat cheap burritos i guess but it's it's bigger than that
00:11:06.880 ben shapiro is not created by anybody and i'm gonna i'm gonna lay uh lay it out uh for you
00:11:12.240 guys how it works. I don't know the inner workings for the most part of Daily Wire, but I do know
00:11:15.220 that they received investment. I do know that is a fact right now that they are prominent,
00:11:19.180 wealthy individuals that are reaching out to many people on the right, hoping that they can
00:11:23.600 create a culture and center around more conservative ideals. This should not be
00:11:29.620 surprising to any of you because this is just the way things go. Look, I started a skateboard
00:11:34.960 company because I didn't like that skateboarding was going in this weird direction, and I love
00:11:39.920 skateboarding. So we created a brand and we said, we're not going to play any of these weird
00:11:43.340 political games. And boy, did they try to destroy us. I brought some people on pro skateboarders.
00:11:49.060 Are you going to say these pro skateboarders were made by them? They weren't made by me. I just
00:11:53.480 hired him. Ben Shapiro was already working in the space. He's got some crazy story about how he's
00:11:59.000 like a young, one of the youngest writers and producing content. And it worked. Ben Shapiro
00:12:04.540 spoke to an older crowd. It wasn't an old person's idea of a young person. It was a young person
00:12:09.360 speaking to them more articulately, articulately and quickly. So what happens? Powerful individuals
00:12:15.860 that, you know, wealthy individuals say, you guys should do a company. They got investors.
00:12:22.060 They did a company. They didn't necessarily have a special deal with Facebook. They just played
00:12:27.940 the game. You know, it's you could say that Tim has a special deal with YouTube, but that's no,
00:12:33.040 I just have a rep. Tons of people have reps and I really talk to them. But sometimes I'll email
00:12:38.480 being like, yo, what's going on? Here's an example. Like Timcast IRL is blacklisted. We
00:12:43.200 weren't before. But last year we were featured in the live page. Timcast IRL, despite live
00:12:50.000 concurrent viewership, is down across the board. We still have, and this is weird, the highest
00:12:55.360 live viewership, second or third typically, because there's like Spanish channels that do
00:13:00.040 like 40K. But we've been averaging about 15,000 on Timcast IRL. And then on Rumble, we do about
00:13:06.120 13 to 14,000. So we average, you know, 25 to 30K, depending on the day, depending on the news. It's
00:13:12.780 the summer, not a lot happening politically. And Trump has a trifecta, not surprising. In 2021
00:13:18.260 into 22, another midterm year, is relatively the same amount of concurrent viewership. We saw a
00:13:24.260 big burst into 24. Our viewership's generally been increasing. You know, it is what it is.
00:13:28.940 Nobody critted us. Nobody told me what to say, but they certainly don't like what I say.
00:13:34.500 I don't think anybody created Tucker Carlson. What he's doing is he's trying to effectively
00:13:40.640 criminalize, and I mean that figuratively, not literally, the idea that we live in a society,
00:13:47.140 that there are people with special interests that are going to be like, I want to give funding to
00:13:51.040 Daily Wire. I want to buy sponsorships with them. I like what Ben says. Similarly, with Tucker
00:13:55.080 Carlson, he makes ad revenue. He has subscribers. They estimate that he's doing about 20 million
00:14:00.540 per year. Pretty crazy, right? He's making more now than he was at Fox News. Wow. I will also
00:14:07.080 stress, you know, it's really crazy. And this is just an aside. I'll tell you all the inner
00:14:11.500 workings of the business. When Tucker was working at Fox News, I was making more than he was. We
00:14:16.760 were making more as an independent company, despite the fact we got lower viewership.
00:14:20.740 And it's because that's why the companies do what they do. Tucker was speaking to a crowd
00:14:26.140 And he got a lot of views from it, millions, three to five million, mostly older.
00:14:31.760 But he was crushing the key demo better than anybody else.
00:14:34.900 And Fox News profited from this.
00:14:37.680 So while he was getting paid, of course they were making more money off of what he did
00:14:42.320 than he was going to get.
00:14:43.580 He goes independent.
00:14:44.480 He gets all that money himself.
00:14:46.960 It's silly, in my opinion, to try and play this conspiracy angle about who Ben Shapiro
00:14:53.080 is and what he believes.
00:14:54.040 Let's play more from Tucker.
00:14:55.340 But it's also un-American.
00:14:57.760 Like, this country was founded to fight wars for Israel.
00:15:00.160 That's why we're here.
00:15:02.040 I mean, our founders said explicitly,
00:15:04.340 America exists as a Judeo-Christian country to support Israel.
00:15:08.960 Okay?
00:15:09.640 So whatever prime minister of that country wants, we're doing.
00:15:12.860 I mean, that's why we're here.
00:15:13.820 So if you're against it, you don't believe in America.
00:15:16.960 You're against America.
00:15:18.180 Why don't you just leave?
00:15:19.240 Maybe we'll revoke your green card.
00:15:20.460 Oh, do I have a green card?
00:15:21.160 We'll strip of your citizenship.
00:15:21.960 And that's what ICE exists to do now.
00:15:24.900 In any case, you should know watching this that these are not just Ben Shapiro's opinions.
00:15:29.600 They said he actually has opinions.
00:15:31.080 Who knows?
00:15:32.360 But these are the opinions of the people who prop up Ben Shapiro, who created Ben Shapiro.
00:15:36.160 And this is what they think.
00:15:38.680 This is the argument they sincerely believe apparently is going to appeal to young people who are worried about the price of burrito.
00:15:47.060 He mentions the burritos because it's all about burrito gate.
00:15:51.020 Wow.
00:15:51.580 So, um, whatever your accusation against Tucker or whatever, listen, there's a question that
00:15:59.640 Americans have.
00:16:00.960 Hey, I'm Ruby Carr, the host of the podcast Encore.
00:16:04.020 Check out our brand new episodes featuring music from the show that everyone is reheating
00:16:09.100 as we speak, Heated Rivalry.
00:16:11.540 Join me as I go behind the songs that brought Shane and Elia together.
00:16:15.340 I'll tell you the stories of Feist, My Moon, My Man, Wolf Parades, I'll Believe in Anything,
00:16:19.640 and tattoos all the things she said and how they all became a part of this global phenomenon.
00:16:25.400 Stream Encore on iHeartRadio, Crave, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:16:30.820 About the funding of Israel and U.S. wars and whether or not we should be involved in the
00:16:36.640 Middle East, it extends well beyond Israel. And Israel is a component, but it's not Israel and
00:16:41.900 the Jews. It's the liberal economic order, which certainly places a large, let's say, just, I don't
00:16:48.140 know, concentration of its power in the territory of Israel. But it is not the Jews. And that is.
00:16:57.860 I don't know, I guess it's just like low ordered thinking. They you know that for people who don't
00:17:02.960 know how to or are incapable of calculating beyond step one, that's kind of what they think.
00:17:08.540 I I wish I was smart enough to be a billionaire. I certainly have the work ethic. But as I've
00:17:14.340 stated many times, I don't think I'm the smartest person. I'm probably smarter than average, you
00:17:18.820 know, but where I lack the capabilities and the willingness of someone like Tucker Carlson, I make
00:17:24.480 up for in work ethic. I work double shifts. I do work on the weekends periodically. It's becoming
00:17:29.220 more difficult now that I have a family and we're trying to focus on that stuff, but I'm willing to
00:17:32.900 work twice as hard. And that means I've done really well. I've made a lot of money. I wish I was as
00:17:38.560 talented as Theo Vaughn or Joe Rogan, and I could work a quarter of the amount of time that I work
00:17:43.220 and make substantially more money, but I recognize that this is the nature of reality.
00:17:47.920 Now, Tucker Carlson is playing a game because Tucker Carlson's smarter than I am.
00:17:51.280 This guy's been smarter than I am his whole life, and it's exemplified by his abilities,
00:17:56.600 his willingness, and the fact that he's much more successful while doing much less.
00:18:01.420 There's a willingness that I don't have. I'm not willing to make a video where I claim that
00:18:06.160 Israel's controlling everything because there's just no evidence for it. I suppose you could
00:18:10.000 argue that Tucker's not smarter than me. It's just that he's willing to cater to a lowest common
00:18:14.640 denominator of viewers. Blame Israel. Get your scapegoat. Lowest common denominator first order
00:18:22.040 thinkers aren't going to think much beyond it. You've given them an easy out. It's easy to
00:18:25.120 understand. Well, I don't play those games. I'm not willing to play those games. And for that,
00:18:30.120 you know, this will never be the biggest show, I guess. I certainly know that there are topics
00:18:34.240 that will generate more viewership than the video I'm doing today about Tucker Carlson and his
00:18:37.560 opinions on Ben Shapiro. But let's talk about the structure of the media and where we're at
00:18:41.680 and what's currently going on and who's creating who and what we're seeing and blah, blah, blah,
00:18:44.800 blah. Tucker Carlson did an interview with Hunter Biden recently. Hunter Biden said that Trump
00:18:52.820 poses an existential threat to the liberal economic order. This is true. Trump is restructuring this
00:18:57.600 order. There's a lot to break down in this. And again, I'm I don't know, a zit on the ass of
00:19:03.560 mosquito compared to this machine? You know, maybe I'm a bit more worrying than that to these
00:19:08.300 people because they've certainly tried to besmirch my name. And I'm just, and who am I? Middle East
00:19:13.320 died. Tucker Carlson says Israel pushed him to report false allegations against Hunter Biden.
00:19:19.020 It's just so easy, isn't it? Look, Hunter Biden signed off on dropping off that laptop. Maybe it
00:19:26.120 was a plot by the deep state, you know, or by Trump or Russia or who knows what. Certainly think
00:19:32.800 people are fighting for power right now. They don't like Trump. They think he's a threat to
00:19:35.860 the liberal economic order. But Tucker could have at least asked him about it. Hunter said he has
00:19:41.460 no recollection of dropping that thing off. And it's like, well, are you kidding me? That's when
00:19:46.900 I have no recollection of doing such a thing. What? You say I never did that. And then if
00:19:51.960 someone's like, well, we got a receipt of you doing it, be like, man, I don't know. I don't
00:19:54.960 remember. Like, I guys, I got to be honest. I don't remember what was going on like every single
00:20:00.960 day, going to a bunch of parties in New York, meeting people. I got invited to a Clinton
00:20:04.360 Foundation meeting, and they wanted me to wear a black tie, and I was like, nope.
00:20:07.660 So I'm going to find the emails where they're like, Hillary Clinton invited Tim Poole. That
00:20:10.400 proves it. And I'm going to be like, bro, I don't even know what that was about. You know what I
00:20:13.340 mean? My point ultimately is, people are questioning Tucker Carlson's allegiance.
00:20:21.340 Tucker Carlson tried to use Hunter Biden to get his son into Georgetown. Interesting. Am I going
00:20:26.860 to accuse Tucker Carlson? No. But I'll tell you what I think, my genuine thoughts on Tucker Carlson.
00:20:31.700 I don't know him all that well.
00:20:33.400 I've known him a little bit.
00:20:35.420 Texted with him sometimes.
00:20:37.520 I think he's just, I don't think he's genuine.
00:20:42.220 You know, he can be offended by that all he wants.
00:20:44.540 I don't care, whatever.
00:20:45.740 These people certainly don't like me.
00:20:47.840 Tucker Carlson seems to have flipped on a dime.
00:20:49.920 He did an interview with his brother where he apologized for supporting Trump, saying
00:20:53.520 he had no idea.
00:20:54.880 And it's a really great thing to say if you want to capture an anti-Trump, anti-Israel
00:20:59.240 base from populist left and right. It's great if your goal is to have a show that makes a lot of
00:21:04.920 money. Then his brother said maybe that money from Miriam Adelson was for something and Tucker
00:21:10.220 does his. For those who don't know, Miriam Adelson is a huge proponent of Israel, donated 100 plus
00:21:16.040 million to various Trump supporting PACs and messaging to help Trump get elected. It was
00:21:20.820 reported at the time that this was the goal. The wink, wink, nudge, nudge was we want Israel to
00:21:27.340 take the West Bank. So Trump gets elected. That's what they want to see. So if you think Trump is
00:21:32.920 working at the behest of Israel, well, take a look at his donors. Everyone knew this was the case.
00:21:38.860 And while I'm certainly not happy with the war in Iran and the state of the economy, it's brutal
00:21:42.800 to pretend that you didn't know this. It's just fake, guys. You know, I'd make way more money if
00:21:50.880 I just screamed, Israel did it. But if there's no evidence for a thing, I'm not going to say
00:21:55.120 there's evidence for a thing. I know Ben Shapiro loves Israel. He's Jewish. He's entitled to that
00:22:01.080 opinion. I disagree. I don't think we should be funding Israel's military and their weapons there
00:22:06.640 and things like that. And, you know, they always like to claim, and by they I mean proponents of
00:22:12.040 Israel in the United States, be it Jewish or otherwise, evangelicals, whoever. Well, we're
00:22:17.780 not just, they're buying weapons from us. We're giving them money, but then they're buying. Yes,
00:22:22.460 I get it. You're pumping money into the military industrial complex. I'm not stupid. I understand
00:22:28.240 that. We're putting a rock in a hard place these days. And I'll tell you what I think.
00:22:35.760 I represent you actually, you know, I'll cite Nick Fuentes. He had a video that people were
00:22:42.780 sharing as it was some kind of secret where he said that, you know, he doesn't like the
00:22:46.380 wackaloons who have these weird conspiracies about the Jews and all that stuff. He has Nick
00:22:51.400 Nick views himself having a legitimate criticism of Israel and Jewish special interest groups
00:22:56.220 and that people like Candace make it all look insane.
00:23:00.200 So he said that he's been trying to, he didn't say moderate, but better articulate so that
00:23:06.080 he's like, look, you know, Tim Pool likes me now.
00:23:08.420 And he's like, kind of, I view him as kind of the normie guy, you know, like where people
00:23:13.760 are.
00:23:15.220 I respect that.
00:23:17.000 And Nick is correct.
00:23:18.400 Listen, you're allowed to say there are groups like AIPAC.
00:23:23.860 Their interest is advocating for a foreign country, and they are deeply influential.
00:23:28.380 That was always allowed.
00:23:29.500 You're allowed to say, I don't like that, and I don't want it to be.
00:23:31.680 And I'll say, yeah, yeah, I hear you.
00:23:33.820 I don't like these foreign lobbying groups.
00:23:35.640 I don't like AIPAC candidate, left AIPAC candidate, right.
00:23:38.760 I mean, we're allowed to have arguments on these things.
00:23:41.320 A lot of concern that is legitimate, that AIPAC provides a lot of funding to defeat candidates,
00:23:45.880 and like to a lot, you know, like we've had congressional races like with Massey where
00:23:50.280 they spend, what is it, like tens of millions of dollars. Now, I'm not going to pretend that
00:23:54.140 AIPAC is the most powerful lobby in the country. It's just not true. But they certainly do have
00:23:59.180 an outsized influence based on the amount of money they do spend. So I have no problem with
00:24:03.080 people who take issue with that. Nick certainly said shocking and offensive things. And I think
00:24:08.300 it was, was it Ben Shapiro actually said he's a comedian. He says things that are funny at the
00:24:15.200 time, but, you know, what does he really believe? And, uh, well, I certainly think Nick does believe
00:24:20.100 things, right? But to a certain extent, yes, like Nick makes jokes and he makes funny ones. And he's
00:24:25.720 also said very offensive things. Ultimately it comes down to this, right? Let me tell you stories
00:24:31.060 about Daily Wire. They have investors. They made a lot of money. Here's my understanding. Daily
00:24:35.980 Wire starts, Ben Shapiro, he leaves Breitbart. There was that whole thing with, you know, who was
00:24:40.300 it? Uh, I don't want to get the name wrong. So it's been a while, but I, Corey Lewandowski or
00:24:44.340 whatever, something like that. I don't know. So Ben Speer leaves Breitbart and he starts writing
00:24:49.160 articles. And these articles are challenging wokeness at a time when woke was dominant.
00:24:52.880 The only message that we were getting in the corporate press was DEI, critical race theory,
00:24:57.160 feminism, and people were just sick of it. So the Daily Wire starts writing articles to the
00:25:02.460 contrary, actual real news. People loved it. The same thing is true for me. I'm a little bit later
00:25:07.860 of the game. But Daily Wire's pumping money through articles. I never did articles. And
00:25:14.520 Facebook still generates a hefty amount of money. It's pretty nuts. However, Facebook started to
00:25:19.180 change how they made money because of politics. And then this stripped money from Daily Wire. So
00:25:23.320 they focused on YouTube. It was the anti-woke era. People were sick of this machine. We were
00:25:29.480 the underdogs. Now, I'm saying not just Daily Wire, but, you know, Tim Kast as well. Well,
00:25:35.940 Trump won a trifecta in 2024, and that's when it kind of hit like a sack of bricks. We won.
00:25:42.520 We did. No longer was there a great fight. There was no great mission. We did it.
00:25:50.720 So what do you do next? I mean, right now you got Royce White and Enes Kanter,
00:25:54.500 and they're mocking the WNBA. It's kind of hilarious. So where do we end up?
00:26:00.600 There's no great challenge, no great fight anymore. A little bit. The midterms are coming
00:26:04.980 up and the challenge will arise again. Deeper ordered thinkers are currently paying attention
00:26:08.640 and passionate about these issues because we know we lose today, we lose tomorrow.
00:26:13.000 But for most people, it's not really affecting their lives anymore.
00:26:16.620 Like the woke stuff. What is? The war. I mean, it's the easiest thing to point at.
00:26:23.080 We're in this war and our prices are going up. Guys, I can see the strength of the economy in
00:26:28.200 ad rates. The economy is in bad shape because the ad rates on YouTube represent small businesses
00:26:34.960 buying ads in their local communities.
00:26:37.660 And if they're not doing that, the ad rates go down.
00:26:40.640 And we are seeing that.
00:26:43.300 Interest in these topics related to woke
00:26:45.800 and what Trump is doing, not interested.
00:26:48.520 If you want to make money, you point at Israel.
00:26:52.320 Why?
00:26:52.860 It's easy to say the war and the problems
00:26:56.080 you're experiencing are because of Israel.
00:26:57.840 So Tucker's playing that game.
00:26:59.780 He's playing that game now with Ben Shapiro.
00:27:02.260 Certainly, Israel is a component of this war.
00:27:04.960 But there's so much more to this with the Panama Canal, the pacification of the Caribbean, oil exports.
00:27:12.460 We are looking at massive oil exporting for the United States, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off of China from their oil.
00:27:20.020 If you want to be a lowest common denominator personality that has the biggest audience in politics, you've got to find who the boogeyman is.
00:27:26.680 And woke ain't it anymore because we sort of crushed it.
00:27:30.120 Don't get me wrong, it's still kind of there, but even AOC says woke one was crazy.
00:27:34.760 We did it.
00:27:36.280 They are flattened and kicked out.
00:27:38.680 So what are people looking for now?
00:27:40.820 The truth is there is no great boogeyman.
00:27:43.220 There is a general malaise and chaos in government.
00:27:46.380 The Democrats are fighting amongst each other and the right has begun fighting amongst each
00:27:49.240 other.
00:27:49.620 So there's no unified message to be had.
00:27:52.620 So to put it simply, if you are trying to maximize audience to get the most amount of
00:27:58.860 views, what you're going to do is, well, there's a couple of things you can do because I'll
00:28:02.320 tell you what we do versus what Tucker does.
00:28:04.700 Tucker's show is way bigger than mine.
00:28:05.760 It always has been.
00:28:07.780 But Tucker knows he's an individual, not a news network.
00:28:12.980 Focus on the maximization.
00:28:15.680 By doing so, he can do the least amount of work with the most amount of views.
00:28:18.940 Bravo.
00:28:20.000 It works.
00:28:20.940 And that is Israel.
00:28:22.740 Ben Shapiro.
00:28:23.700 Make your enemies.
00:28:25.240 What does he care?
00:28:26.000 He's got $20 million a year.
00:28:27.640 Here's what we did at TimCast.
00:28:30.260 Last year, we were doing like 50,000 concurrence on average on TimCast IRL.
00:28:33.680 It's kind of crazy, but the show is just getting bigger and bigger.
00:28:36.800 And we've got more subscribers than ever.
00:28:38.540 We have a combined 12 million subs across the board.
00:28:41.300 I just announced this today.
00:28:42.580 We're doing a massive expansion in D.C., spending hundreds of thousands of dollars,
00:28:45.660 probably close to a half a million on this massive expansion, because business is good.
00:28:50.480 And we launched the Tim Pool show.
00:28:53.260 There's some stuff I can't announce yet, but it's been going pretty well.
00:28:56.320 And all of this is being built.
00:28:57.440 Why?
00:28:58.320 Well, it's being built now because it's the summer.
00:29:00.400 This is the point.
00:29:01.240 I played the World Series.
00:29:02.480 Why?
00:29:02.700 Well, some people take summer hiatus, but I know that we're in a lull period, and lulls will always happen.
00:29:08.440 This is the nature of reality.
00:29:09.900 We've sustained growth through different platform strategies.
00:29:15.120 So while it's true that Timcast IRL is getting a lower concurrent viewership rate, revenue is still absolutely fantastic.
00:29:21.380 And we've made up for this by targeting different platforms and different strategies.
00:29:24.480 So we've done website subscriber growth.
00:29:26.740 We've got 350,000.
00:29:28.920 And, you know, I kind of wish we took some of these strategies several years ago.
00:29:33.560 But for us, we're sitting pretty.
00:29:36.820 You may have heard stories about, you may hear this,
00:29:40.460 certain people who were here for a long time at Timcast are no longer here.
00:29:44.140 And there's a variety of reasons for that.
00:29:46.540 But ain't no real beef that I got with anybody.
00:29:50.360 You know, they try to make claims like, ha-ha, this proves, like, you know,
00:29:54.200 the company is going under, blah, blah, blah.
00:29:55.420 Let me just tell you guys, we're putting like half a million to this expansion.
00:30:00.000 It's pretty crazy, which means we're building out.
00:30:05.980 It's like level three, you know, or level four.
00:30:09.260 We started in a basement in my house.
00:30:12.160 Why?
00:30:13.640 Well, COVID happened.
00:30:15.020 We were locked in.
00:30:15.560 We said, let's do a live stream.
00:30:17.120 We moved upstairs.
00:30:18.260 The show got a little bit bigger.
00:30:19.220 We're getting bigger streams.
00:30:20.080 We're making a ton of money.
00:30:20.920 It was pretty crazy.
00:30:21.580 This is COVID.
00:30:22.120 Everyone was locked inside, so they were just watching.
00:30:24.660 We started doing guests at the end of the year,
00:30:27.180 and our guests started getting bigger and bigger.
00:30:29.000 I remember the first few emails.
00:30:30.360 It's like, dude, we're getting millions of views.
00:30:32.380 You know, we were getting like a million per episode
00:30:33.980 during COVID.
00:30:34.480 It's crazy.
00:30:34.820 We're doing like 600 now.
00:30:36.680 It's off season.
00:30:37.640 What can I say?
00:30:39.000 In total viewership from the episode and clips,
00:30:41.360 we're doing like 5 million
00:30:42.580 because we'd break segments out from the shows.
00:30:45.020 It was massive.
00:30:46.580 And we didn't do any direct sponsorships
00:30:48.980 or membership webs.
00:30:49.860 It was just YouTube rev.
00:30:51.600 Hey, man, you live and learn, right?
00:30:53.720 So we then upgrade, we go to level three, we get the Maryland studio, the castle, we called it.
00:31:00.080 And then we built a new, like this studio that we built, the original one was like,
00:31:04.720 we took four desks, nailed them together, put up a bunch of random lights, we had no idea what we
00:31:08.800 were doing. Level four, we built a formal studio in the castle, opened up a new room, built this
00:31:13.720 big desk, and things took off. Money was pouring in, Kanye West showed up, it was pretty crazy.
00:31:19.140 and then came the next big level.
00:31:23.220 Freedamistan, we call it.
00:31:24.680 Man, we hired a big production company.
00:31:27.760 We balanced out the lights.
00:31:28.820 We have professional lighting installed.
00:31:30.980 We're just an independent company.
00:31:32.300 It's just, you know, me and doing what I do.
00:31:34.560 And then, my friends, the next level.
00:31:37.720 And that's what we're looking at right now.
00:31:39.860 A formal DC studio, television quality levels
00:31:43.420 with big cameras, a half million dollar studio production.
00:31:46.860 we're opening up three new offices. It's like an office, but three new units. Pretty dang crazy.
00:31:55.300 And I'm sitting here being like, I can't believe it's all come to this point.
00:32:00.580 I could play the game that Tucker plays. I think it's silly. You know, all of a sudden,
00:32:06.540 Hunter's not the bad guy. Israel made me do it, he said. Can we seriously just pull that up?
00:32:10.680 Israel made Tucker Carlson say everything that he said. Come on, it's just not real. Guys,
00:32:16.860 this company that we got here at Timcast, it's crazy. We've got network offers. We've had them
00:32:24.100 for so long. And I've always just said no, because it ain't about the money.
00:32:28.020 Part of me thinks back and I'm just like, Tucker is a black pill for me. It breaks my heart.
00:32:35.280 I looked up to him for a bit. I don't agree with everything he says, but I see this. I'm like,
00:32:39.520 is this the game? Is this what we're supposed to be? Am I supposed to just be the guy that
00:32:45.900 takes the letter from the marketing company and says, your maximum viewership will be just blaming
00:32:50.920 Israel. Guys, like Israel's done nothing here. I just make videos. We generate money. I track
00:32:58.020 revenue. We've got vendors. We've got clients. We've got advertisers. We've got sponsors. Some
00:33:01.660 pay a lot. Some pay low. We track all that money. I navigate global trends in media. It's just a
00:33:07.240 business. And I try to make a good product. I hate calling it that, but this is it. I try to just say
00:33:13.640 like, here's what's currently happening. Here's what I'm hearing. I try to respect privacy the
00:33:16.840 best of my ability. But, you know, like I said, we got these network guys and they're like, Tim,
00:33:20.660 you got to stop insulting people. Like you can criticize them, but you're kind of a dick.
00:33:24.900 And I'm like, nah, I know. Because I've always just been a dude talking to the camera,
00:33:29.540 explaining how I think about things and how I feel. And it's done pretty well for the company.
00:33:33.240 But I do respect this, right? I can certainly be critical and say I don't agree with this or
00:33:40.280 believe it. But calling someone, you know, a see you next Tuesday, if you know what I mean,
00:33:44.880 probably a bad idea. So I did apologize for calling Candace that. Not like it matters because
00:33:49.040 her fans don't care, but it's not for her fans. I sincerely apologize. You know, I should,
00:33:53.720 it's unprofessional, you know, got a lot of attention. And a lot of people were like,
00:33:57.660 thank you, Tim, for saying that. And I'm like, well, I'm not here to pretend to be someone else
00:34:02.340 to put forward some fake narrative about Israel. Israel did not make Tucker Carlson say anything.
00:34:07.100 He said it because it was good for his show.
00:34:09.220 And he's saying Israel made him do it now because it's good for his show.
00:34:12.800 I read the news.
00:34:13.760 I tell you what I think.
00:34:14.620 I try to be careful.
00:34:16.340 Nobody came to me and made me say anything about Hunter Biden.
00:34:20.380 It was in the news.
00:34:22.440 But it is a Game of Thrones, my friend.
00:34:24.740 Manipulations far and wide.
00:34:27.280 So we're not going to play that game.
00:34:29.380 We're just going to be what we are here at Timcast.
00:34:31.900 We got a big expansion coming up in D.C.
00:34:34.220 We have a new documentary coming out.
00:34:35.880 It's about technology and AI.
00:34:37.300 We've been working on it for about a year or two, so it's going to be big.
00:34:40.520 And we're just doing our thing.
00:34:42.360 I think what you're seeing with this next level that we do, the new studio, the truth, I'm old.
00:34:50.820 Started doing all this in my late 20s.
00:34:53.180 Timcast started expanding rapidly in my early 30s.
00:34:56.240 It was a decade of making this content.
00:34:58.920 Now I'm 40.
00:35:00.360 Finally had a kid, late to the party.
00:35:02.420 but that takes precedent. It takes priority, 100%. My wife used to work with me on all of
00:35:08.600 this stuff, helping build the company, and now she's like, we need to make some changes. It's
00:35:12.760 family time. She's right. I agree. We both completely agree, which means we're bringing
00:35:18.160 in companies to do management production, marketing. We're not just going to be that
00:35:22.640 wild child goofing off in skateboarding anymore, but I'm certainly never going to be the person
00:35:27.000 that just panders to the lowest common denominator. You know who we're going to pander to?
00:35:32.420 the people who expect the truth. So when we're wrong, we're wrong. When we're right, we're right.
00:35:37.000 It is what it is. I'll give I'll give I'll give a big we'll make a point here.
00:35:43.600 Charlie Kirk assassination. Tyler Robinson's defense is not even arguing he's he's innocent.
00:35:49.380 They're arguing he shouldn't get the death penalty. Their defense is not that he didn't
00:35:53.740 kill Charlie. Their defense is that it should be a lesser lesser charge. He's not guilty of these
00:35:59.920 things, they should drop these charges because they don't apply. That's the argument. So where
00:36:03.900 are all these people who are like, there's no way the 30 at six, the exploding microphone,
00:36:07.880 the paving of, I thought, I thought they were saying Tyler Robinson was a pet seat because
00:36:11.800 they're lying, man. Guys, I am not on good terms. I'm not going to say I'm on bad terms,
00:36:19.480 the TPUSA guys, but we had a falling out because I called them out. I said, I don't, you know,
00:36:25.600 they got mad at me for.
00:36:26.460 They got to hurt their ego.
00:36:27.620 Fine.
00:36:28.940 Jack Posobiec is always a good friend.
00:36:31.180 And he's sort of,
00:36:32.440 we had a falling out.
00:36:33.100 Jack said, guys, figure it out.
00:36:36.540 And so I'm just neutral with TPUSA.
00:36:39.120 I'm not a big fan of how they've done things.
00:36:40.420 It is what it is.
00:36:42.480 But I'm not going to play games.
00:36:45.920 You know?
00:36:48.320 That's the nature of media.
00:36:50.860 And I'll tell you,
00:36:51.840 these big media companies,
00:36:53.480 I know what they're going to say to me.
00:36:54.600 they're going to say, Tim, this is what the audience wants. But let me tell you a story
00:37:00.320 about who I am. I worked for Vice. There's a really great article on Mitchell Jackson about
00:37:05.540 Vice and what happened to it. I recommend you check it out. And Shane was interested in following
00:37:12.540 the trends. During the Vice period, we had a few things happen. Joe Rogan was doing his show,
00:37:17.500 his Ustream show at the time, the godfather of podcasting. I know he's not the one who invented
00:37:22.340 it, but he made podcasting the thing. Great shows, interesting, crazy, and just really fun to listen
00:37:28.200 to. At the same time, Vice was edgy. He had Barstool, edgy as well. Outkick. Of these players,
00:37:37.200 Shane said, we're going to get the investment from the corporations and we're going to do what they
00:37:40.660 want. And what did the corporations say? Woke. And so he wanted to be Team Vogue. He didn't like it
00:37:46.320 that other people were getting recognition. But guess what? While Joe Rogan certainly wasn't any
00:37:51.000 big networks. Barstool was a magazine being handed out in a new website, and Outkick was telling
00:37:55.760 everyone to go shove it. Vice decided to play the game of pandering to the machine, saying whatever
00:38:02.520 needed to be said, what he was told to say. Where are they now? Bankrupt and gone. Sad, really.
00:38:09.780 Meanwhile, Joe Rogan's pulling in 80 million a year. Barstool sold for half a billion,
00:38:14.300 and then he bought it back for a buck, outkick, sold the Fox, play Travis, and I'm not sure whoever
00:38:21.920 else, but they get paid. It may be the case that viewership declines because you refuse to play
00:38:28.500 that game. All the money and coming out and just saying Israel and the deep state and, you know,
00:38:33.680 whatever, and play the game that Tucker's playing. He's making money, you know, good for him. And
00:38:38.040 maybe he's smart enough, and I think he is, to navigate through this. Look at the game he's
00:38:41.800 playing. When it was popular to say on the right that Hunter Biden was a bad dude, he said it.
00:38:48.600 Now that the target is Israel, sorry, Hunter, Israel made me do it. Hunter's all right.
00:38:53.780 Sure. Sure thing, buddy. I'm not going to play these games. I think we'll always just be a
00:39:01.100 middling podcast. I don't get me wrong. We are one of the biggest podcasts in the world. It's
00:39:04.380 not like we're in the top 200 globally, which is just crazy to see. Shout out to Bill Maher.
00:39:09.300 at the end of last year, we beat Bill Maher by one ranking on podcasting, which is pretty dang
00:39:15.000 nuts. I think the audience that Timcast will always have are people who don't completely agree,
00:39:20.500 but are looking for an honest assessment, something that they can parse through and say,
00:39:24.420 I think Tim's wrong, but he's not lying to me. I can't say the same for people like Candace or
00:39:31.480 Tucker, but hey, they're rich. Part of me thinks back, you know what? Maybe at the height of the
00:39:38.080 viewership and the big explosion during COVID, take all that money, invest in nothing, put it in
00:39:43.400 the S&P and some high-yield savings, and just live off the interest. That's boring, though.
00:39:49.240 You know? Nah, we're here to do stuff. We're here to have a mission. It is pretty wild.
00:39:54.760 I'm 40. You know? Halfway to 41. Part of me is just like the young guys. You guys got to start
00:40:04.240 picking up the slack. In 10 years, we're going to be passing that off to y'all. You know what I mean?
00:40:10.280 There's not that many young people. Gen Alpha is pretty small. And so we'll see how it plays out.
00:40:15.360 I'll just tell you what we'll always do. And I guess why I'm saying all this is because I see
00:40:19.740 this thing about Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro is who Ben Shapiro is. And the respect that I can give
00:40:24.460 Ben is that he's in the same spot he's always been. Yeah, he advocated for masks and vaccines
00:40:30.480 early on. They pushed back later and rejected the mandates. He's always been, I guess, kind of like
00:40:35.800 a neocon. At least he's not lying about who he is. But you know what I will say to all of you guys?
00:40:41.940 YouTube numbers may be down for everybody, but if that's the only world you live in,
00:40:45.880 you're missing the big picture. You know, across the board on all platforms, our subscribers are
00:40:49.940 up. Our website is up. Our views are actually up. Don't get me wrong. During COVID, it was crazy.
00:40:55.080 I was getting 120 million views per month. And yet these liberals being like, why won't anyone
00:40:59.740 talk about Tim Pool. He's the biggest conservative podcaster. Pretty crazy. And I was like, I don't
00:41:05.820 know. And, you know, we didn't do ad reads. We didn't do website stuff. It was just an insane
00:41:09.920 amount of money from YouTube alone. That's crazy. These days, we're still pretty big, but we're not
00:41:16.820 the biggest. And, you know, it is what it is. But we've built up our viewership comparably in other
00:41:23.320 areas. So our shorts are way up. We don't do them on YouTube the same because it's not really worth
00:41:26.600 it. But Instagram, TikTok, we've got a bunch of plans and we're just tracking general growth
00:41:30.460 across the board. The subscriber of the website is really the biggest thing. We're trying to
00:41:35.360 figure out right now this big new investment in D.C. We want to kind of just like reassess our
00:41:40.380 investments. Companies is all the time. We want to make sure that we're spending our money as
00:41:43.860 efficiently as possible. So we make a lot of money here and it's thanks to you guys as members. It's
00:41:48.980 thanks to our sponsors and everybody that we've done. The midterms are coming up. Politics will
00:41:52.860 be changing. We're always going to be who we are and where we are, and we'll see where the dust
00:41:57.220 settles. Right now, it's fairly chaotic. The left is fighting amongst itself. The right is fighting
00:42:01.620 amongst itself. Both sides are fighting each other, and we don't know where the dust will settle,
00:42:04.300 but maybe a realignment. There may be a new left. Tucker might find himself—I mean, look,
00:42:09.180 Candace Owens and Anna Kasparian, they like each other. Their issue is Israel. Tucker Carlson is
00:42:15.740 positioning himself on the left. I hope you guys realize that. He's arguing that this is not
00:42:22.300 capitalism. It's not free market. Food shouldn't be so expensive. Israel is a problem. He is going
00:42:27.240 to find himself aligned with the young Turks. I'd argue they already is. When the dust settles up
00:42:33.200 to the midterms, I would say you should not be shocked if it turns out that Tucker Carlson
00:42:38.820 becomes a Democrat. And many people say it's not possible. It won't happen. You're wrong.
00:42:42.940 When the Democrats oust the, you know, whoever wins on the Democrat side, be it moderate or left.
00:42:48.380 What is Tucker arguing for right now? Hunter Biden, I'm sorry, Israel made me do it. I'm
00:42:54.940 sorry I supported Trump. I was wrong. Prices should be brought down. America, there is going
00:43:01.940 to be a new left and right. I'm not interested in being left or right. I'm interested in being
00:43:06.640 where truth lies. So we'll see. I'm going to wrap it up there, my friends. I hope you had fun on
00:43:11.400 this one it's uh it's it's it's kind of crazy i've had this uh this feeling over the past several
00:43:18.600 months as many of you know like you know shane cashman uh has has departed from the company
00:43:22.660 and uh you know i told him it's it's it's the end the dream is over right it's the end of an era
00:43:28.460 i was like it's sad it's i'm welling up right we had this period at the cast castle we're goofing
00:43:33.380 off we're skating we're in our 30s but we're acting like kids to a certain extent not not
00:43:37.720 shane like you know he's had a family and he's worked hard all the time i'm just saying like
00:43:40.860 We made all this money. We did Chicken City. It was just one big let's go. Let's have fun.
00:43:46.440 But now we're all getting older and something new is going to happen. There's going to be a new
00:43:50.960 system in place. And I hope that the result is that this civil war, cold civil war, whatever,
00:43:55.600 abates. And that may happen because of the likes of Tucker and Candace and whoever else.
00:44:01.640 And then something new will happen and things will be different. It's just change. And it's
00:44:07.420 sad to see that era go. The cast castle jokes, MTG plays MTG. But does it mean it's over? It just
00:44:14.980 means it's going to be different. I don't know what we're going to do here because as we're in
00:44:19.600 DC, things are getting a bit more serious. The caliber of our guests that we're getting requests
00:44:24.500 on, it's pretty dang crazy. What you guys don't understand is that it's summer. And so we're
00:44:29.340 largely holding off for a lot of big guests. Senators, celebrities, people are reaching out
00:44:34.920 We're like, guys, we should wait until we're in D.C.
00:44:36.960 It's going to be about a month and a half, about a month, month and a half.
00:44:39.700 We will be in D.C. at the new TV quality, high level production studio.
00:44:44.700 And it's kind of crazy to think.
00:44:47.620 You know, weird places, but it's just change.
00:44:52.480 We'll see how things play out.
00:44:54.920 We'll see how they play out.
00:44:56.760 Look, I've always just been a fairly middle of the road guy and the dust is kind of settling.
00:45:00.400 People are pissed at Trump for a variety of reasons.
00:45:02.560 I'm never going to come out and play these games where, oh, Trump is bad or Trump is always good.

00:45:14.580 We'll be back for Tim Cast IRL, of course, as we always are.
00:45:16.860 And we'll see you all then.
00:45:32.240 Thank you.
