00:01:29.140
I'm really despondent about the tolerance and acceptance for political violence on the left.
00:01:40.740
Mamdani himself, it's so amazing, Tim, because he was so disciplined throughout the campaign,
00:01:45.940
focused on, you know, affordability or whatever.
00:01:48.080
But then right in that last week, he just couldn't help taking a hit off that grievance bong
00:01:54.480
and came out with that whole Islamophobia thing.
00:01:58.180
Several bomb threats were made in New Jersey today as the election continues over who's going
00:02:04.940
to win the governor's race, who's going to win the mayor race in New York.
00:02:12.400
But Mamdani is blaming Trump for the threats and the intimidation, despite the fact that
00:02:16.860
we have videos showing leftists assaulting ICE agents once again, ramming vehicles, kicking
00:02:24.700
these feds when they attempt to arrest these people.
00:02:27.300
In one video the other day, we saw somebody run up to a DHS vehicle and pop the door open
00:02:35.560
What's happening in this country is getting pretty crazy.
00:02:39.360
And if Zoran Mamdani wins in New York, around a million people are expected to flee the city.
00:02:48.760
Well, we're going to bring in Bhatia Unger Sargon to discuss these issues.
00:03:13.820
I believe she may be, she may have her system muted.
00:03:28.380
So I've got some questions about what's going on in general politics across this country.
00:03:38.360
Mamdani is blaming Trump, saying it's this intimidation.
00:03:41.540
And they're trying to stop Democrats from winning.
00:03:45.760
And it's a question that won't last much longer than today.
00:03:52.840
Um, despite, um, you know, Cuomo got much closer towards the end.
00:03:59.800
There was a huge mobilization effort in the Jewish community, in the Orthodox community,
00:04:07.080
Really thousands of people turned out who don't ordinarily vote.
00:04:12.860
What Mamdani did, and this is a bitter pill to swallow, but we have to be honest.
00:04:18.360
If we want to prevent something like this in the future, he won, he ran a very good campaign.
00:04:24.680
And it is extremely important to understand how he did it, because it's not rocket science.
00:04:32.100
He identified three constituencies and, like, brilliantly crafted messaging that would sort
00:04:43.400
So his constituencies were Muslims, South Asians, and then these 20 to 30-something, over-educated,
00:04:53.460
over-credentialed, downwardly mobile hipsters in Bushwick and Brooklyn, who think they're the
00:05:00.980
working class because they failed to get, like, amazing jobs and have student loan from getting,
00:05:12.720
And as a result, they want things from the government, despite him being, like, the most
00:05:22.840
This is a guy who's, like, a total Nepo baby, never worked a day in his life, lives off his
00:05:31.740
Like, it's cool to, like, live off your parents, be a total failure if you can make great content
00:05:41.620
He got Muslims by making ads in Arabic, by being one of them, by very clearly catering
00:05:49.540
to them and pandering to them and using Israel in this really interesting way that could activate
00:05:55.800
both the 20 to 30-something over-credentialed people who are all anti-Zionists and the Muslims
00:06:02.280
and the South Asians who are really against Israel and pro-Palestinian.
00:06:08.040
And so he did this kind of interweaving of messaging, despite the fact that he's, like,
00:06:19.140
And it's just really, I think, important that we acknowledge how smart this was so that
00:06:24.900
we can defeat it next time around instead of sitting here, like, being butthurt about it,
00:06:31.300
What I will say is I think you've nailed it, especially with these over-educated young
00:06:37.160
The issue that we're dealing with, though, is these over-educated young people are actually
00:06:43.820
Zohan Mamdani is offering things that make literally no sense.
00:06:48.700
He's, I'm going to make the buses free and go faster.
00:06:51.600
And not a single person asks, what does that mean?
00:06:57.460
So, like, you pay for them because there are workers, there is maintenance, there's
00:07:01.640
storage, there's fuel, there's energy they've got to use for these buses.
00:07:13.120
My proposal is I will run for office, and I'm not just going to make the buses free.
00:07:22.640
When you board my bus, a machine will spit out a $5 bill just for you.
00:07:33.700
I don't need to explain how it's possible as long as enough retards vote for me because
00:07:39.000
So you've got a guy who literally is offering up things that make no sense.
00:07:45.100
And it's funny because when I talk to my friends and my family, you know, my wife is like,
00:07:48.740
has Mamdani explained how you pay for these things?
00:07:54.320
A really great example of where we're going is AOC.
00:07:56.720
AOC, when Amazon wanted to bring jobs to New York, they offered a tax break over 10 years.
00:08:03.680
They said, you will save $3 billion in taxes spent.
00:08:08.860
AOC then claimed that was a grant of $3 billion cash for them to spend because she doesn't
00:08:18.080
I don't know how we—you're not going to educate these young people.
00:08:24.280
They don't—they've not held jobs in a management position.
00:08:27.500
They think communism works because they've never actually run a business.
00:08:40.020
We're going to operate on the assumption right now Mamdani won.
00:08:46.600
When Mamdani ultimately fails in these policies, the response from them is going to be an excuse.
00:09:01.880
The thing that makes this so funny is that the subway and the buses pretty much are already
00:09:14.340
So I like a good—every time I get on the subway three, four times a week, I feel like
00:09:20.020
a complete idiot because I'm paying and there's 15 kids just jumping the turnstile.
00:09:30.100
Like, really, very few people take the bus in New York, and it's because those 20 to
00:09:38.060
Like, they don't actually want him to do any of this stuff.
00:09:47.520
These are people who spend $12 on a cold brew, okay, Tim?
00:09:54.660
They feel like the government should pay them to make their shitty podcasts.
00:09:59.820
And this is just a protest vote for them because he embodies everything that made them feel
00:10:06.680
And it's just—it's so amazing to see, like, how in it they are.
00:10:11.040
Like, there's no distance between them and any of this stuff.
00:10:14.580
Like, of course, you can be a socialist if your parents are funding your life, which is,
00:10:18.380
I think, what's going on for a lot of these people, including Mom Donnie himself.
00:10:21.980
I think, you know, it was really—it was actually fairly terrifying to wake up and
00:10:26.820
see all the bomb threats in New Jersey, seven locations, and young people are increasingly
00:10:35.880
Unsurprisingly, Mom Donnie then blamed Trump for the bomb threats.
00:10:44.140
And we were actually just talking about this a few—I've been talking about this actually
00:10:49.180
for several weeks now, that we're going to get to the point with our elections where
00:10:52.720
you have bomb threats or actual terror attacks, and that will be used to discredit the results.
00:10:57.900
Now, because of this, if Cittarelli wins in New Jersey, you know that these Democrats are
00:11:02.620
going to—are going to say it's because of the bomb threats disenfranchising voters.
00:11:05.620
We're seeing this escalation of violent rhetoric, threats of violence, and this past year, just
00:11:11.140
overt terror attacks across the country, especially considering the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
00:11:17.420
I'm curious what you think happens in these places or in this country moving forward with
00:11:24.100
I'm really despondent about the tolerance and acceptance for political violence on the left.
00:11:37.740
Mom Donnie himself, it's so amazing, Tim, because he was so disciplined throughout the campaign,
00:11:42.900
focused on, you know, affordability or whatever.
00:11:45.720
But then right in that last week, he just couldn't help taking a hit off that grievance bong and
00:11:51.680
came out with that whole Islamophobia thing, which Islamophobia to me is—it's sort of
00:11:59.260
Like, they have this envy of, like, people who are actually the subject of violence, hate
00:12:11.420
They use rhetoric to turn themselves preemptively into the victims of the very violence that they
00:12:19.360
themselves are justifying and meeting out on the right.
00:12:24.240
And again, this comes right out of the university.
00:12:28.360
That kind of reversal of victim and perpetrator is just classic postmodernist, poststructuralist
00:12:35.600
crap that was imported here by the French in the 60s and 70s and was, like, safely ensconced
00:12:42.440
in the hallowed hallways of academia until it became totally mainstreamed because in this
00:12:48.080
country, the Democrats built an economy that you really needed to have a college degree
00:12:53.760
And so suddenly, having access and having spent years of your life swimming in this mind
00:12:58.980
virus crap was the only avenue to getting any kind of, you know, financial security.
00:13:05.740
I think it's going to be interesting to see how this transforms, right?
00:13:12.620
We're looking at an estimated, whether the reporting is true or not, but they estimate
00:13:16.580
a million people will flee New York City if Mamdani wins.
00:13:20.840
And I'm hearing people say things like, let them win, because then they're going to learn
00:13:26.840
And my response immediately, we were talking about this the other day with Ian on IRL, Chicago
00:13:31.000
did that with Brandon Johnson, and they've not learned their lesson.
00:13:37.240
They'll keep saying, we need more communism, more communism.
00:13:40.680
And I think what it really comes down to at the granular level is an individual says to
00:13:47.900
But if I vote for him again, he's promising me free stuff.
00:13:53.380
And then I can always flee and let the system burn down.
00:13:57.040
This, this, it feels like it's an inevitability that's going to keep getting worse.
00:14:01.080
And there's nothing we can do to stop the expansion of young people just saying, screw
00:14:09.960
So the reason I feel a lot more hopeful about it is none of his proposals can he actually
00:14:16.620
Kathy Hochul, I believe, has already said she's not going to raise taxes on the rich.
00:14:19.900
He can't make his own supermarkets and he can't make buses free.
00:14:22.460
The only thing he can impact, the only thing he can impact is public safety.
00:14:28.480
He can fire Jessica Tisch, who's the police commissioner, who's excellent, who has actually
00:14:36.820
You see a lot of things like, you know, male influencers talking about how like dangerous
00:14:53.040
He never got credit for this, but he did make the subway safer.
00:14:55.820
Like it used to be, I would encounter a crazy person every week.
00:14:59.300
And now it's really once every four months or so.
00:15:02.340
So it really is much, it's nothing like Chicago.
00:15:05.780
And by the way, in Chicago as well, crime is so racially segregated.
00:15:10.620
Like if you're a young man who's black, who lives in Chicago, your life expectancy is
00:15:16.900
But if you're a white person, it's actually like normal.
00:15:27.520
And, and obviously liberals won't talk about it.
00:15:29.420
They've made it a taboo to actually admit this because the majority of violent crime
00:15:35.660
They erase the fact that it is done to blacks, like literally just making it impossible to
00:15:42.280
But anyway, because of that, I think rich people don't really actually suffer from the
00:15:51.680
It's always the poor who can't afford to actually move.
00:15:58.080
So, so he promised he was going to defund the police before throughout the campaign.
00:16:03.240
He's going to, he promised to keep Jessica Tish.
00:16:06.140
If he keeps that promise, you know, everything will be okay.
00:16:12.720
Like, I, I really don't care what he thinks about that.
00:16:15.560
Like, as long as he protects my synagogue, as long as he doesn't tell the cop that has
00:16:19.740
to stand there on, on, on Shabbos to protect us from being shot up.
00:16:22.620
Like, so as long as that to me is the only thing that really, really matters.
00:16:28.420
If he breaks that campaign problems, just one more thing, very briefly.
00:16:34.960
He never cracked 50% and he's very unpopular nationally.
00:16:38.420
So there's a very high chance that the Democrats will learn the exact wrong lesson from this
00:16:46.540
So I was looking at, there's an interesting post from Call She, where they said externally,
00:16:50.940
like nationwide, the, the, the people trading on the New York race give Mom Donnie 90% chance
00:17:02.640
It's greater than a hundred percent, whatever that means.
00:17:03.980
However, inside of New York, Cuomo has a 9% edge on Mom Donnie.
00:17:12.840
The people who live in New York, who are buying, who are betting on this race are betting Cuomo
00:17:18.840
And just recently data came out suggesting major whales are dropping tens of thousands of dollars
00:17:26.240
I actually think the perception of Mom Donnie may, it may be influenced by the national level
00:17:32.440
political machine claiming that he's this very popular character when he might not actually be.
00:17:38.800
So the other day I saw this and I said, okay, it's a value bet.
00:17:44.620
And if he does, I get paid out $5,217 or something.
00:17:51.660
Now I, I, I do, I do believe that Mom Donnie has the edge to win, but the odds don't make sense.
00:17:58.820
Cuomo has a much better chance of winning than 10%.
00:18:02.940
That's a weird number to give, but I guess people are so convinced.
00:18:06.440
But when you, again, look at the data inside New York, Cuomo is actually leading.
00:18:11.240
So I wonder, you know, they, they, they do this strategy, the Democrats, the progressives,
00:18:16.480
where they go for the primary because they know most people don't vote in the primary
00:18:19.640
and they can easily convince Democrat activists to vote for their Democrat activist candidate.
00:18:24.220
But when it comes to the actual city itself, do they want someone as radical as Mom Donnie
00:18:29.520
making these pie in the sky promises he can't ever fulfill?
00:18:38.080
I've been saying that for the last two weeks, especially since I've been seeing the voter,
00:18:41.620
the early voting, and that's been very much weighted in Cuomo's favor.
00:18:47.000
The first, which supports what you're saying, I've been, I have four screens up in my office.
00:18:51.320
Every person of color who has been interviewed in New York over the last week is voting for Cuomo.
00:18:57.680
And every white kid or white person is voting for Mom Donnie.
00:19:01.200
So it's really going to come down to voter turnout.
00:19:04.700
I do have to say, Tim, I am enraged at Andrew Cuomo for running the worst campaign I've ever seen,
00:19:12.760
for never once giving a single person a reason to vote for him except to stop the other guy.
00:19:22.260
Like, you literally have nothing to offer us except our, you know, fear of that guy.
00:19:33.660
And so I think a lot of people are going to be standing there and looking at Sliwa's name
00:19:39.540
Like, objectively, if it was between the two of them, Sliwa deserves it so much more.
00:19:44.700
It's just that you know Sliwa can't win because New Yorkers are all Democrats.
00:19:51.720
One other quick, quick thing I have to say, like, I didn't quite realize, like, something
00:19:58.140
that really hit me today was we're never going to get to vote for Donald Trump again.
00:20:02.820
Like, that feeling you had going in and being like, this person is going to break everything
00:20:10.960
that sucks and spit at every person who had contempt for me and rewrite the whole story
00:20:17.500
to make, you know, life better for working class Americans and then to see him do it
00:20:23.400
Like, the euphoria I got from that and continue to get from that.
00:20:27.600
Like, I just I was like, but yeah, you're not getting that again.
00:20:31.100
That's not what it's supposed to feel like every time.
00:20:33.700
It's never going to feel like that again, probably.
00:20:38.540
So I made this point on Twitter a while ago, half jokingly.
00:20:41.800
I said Israel is the new left-right divide, and I don't think people understood the point
00:20:48.980
It's a generality, but on the—there are moderate Democrats very pro-Israel, moderate Republicans
00:20:55.300
very pro-Israel, and then the emergent left and the emergent right are both very anti-Israel.
00:21:01.180
And I'm half joking, saying I see a possibility in the future where moderate Republicans and liberals
00:21:07.860
actually come together, and then it kind of rotates to a new left and right where Israel
00:21:13.280
becomes this central focus, because you've got young, right-leaning individuals—I don't even
00:21:18.760
know if right-leaning is the right word—that just hate Israel.
00:21:21.580
The left, of course, just hates Israel, and I feel like that could be a penchiality in the future.
00:21:27.060
But the question I want to ask you is, what did Zoran Mamdani mean when he said the boots
00:21:35.760
What I wanted to know is when he apologized to the NYPD, did that include the people lacing
00:21:46.760
There's this meme on the left that because the IDF has developed certain methods of control
00:21:57.740
So they used to do these—no, actually, it was this.
00:22:01.940
The IDF is very good at identifying suspicious objects, obviously, because people are always
00:22:07.380
And so they would do specifically identification of—I can't remember when this was, like
00:22:13.180
They would have NYPD counterterrorism units train with them.
00:22:17.560
And this, of course, was blown out of proportion by the left until the IDF is importing all of
00:22:25.000
And the NYPD now, because the NYPD obviously hates people of color, therefore they got this
00:22:30.020
from Israel, I mean, it's like the typical elevation of Israel to this level of, like,
00:22:37.580
I want to say something about what you said about the left-right.
00:22:40.040
I think, like, the real thing is it's going to continue to be immigration, which means
00:22:46.040
Like, it's just going to—which is about the class divide.
00:22:48.820
Like, if you're a working class, you can love immigrants.
00:22:53.320
They're bringing down the wages in your industry.
00:22:57.900
And if you are an elite or a person with a college degree working in the knowledge
00:23:04.700
Like, that, I think, is going to continue to be the dividing line.
00:23:09.620
Only 13 percent of Democrats overall, not young Democrats, but Democrats overall now support
00:23:19.400
And Charlie at his—Charlie Kirk at the last Student Action Summit did a poll.
00:23:23.500
So this is, like, young conservatives, 75 percent of them still called themselves pro-Israel.
00:23:33.960
I think it really reduces Israel's sovereignty and ours.
00:23:37.280
But they still would call themselves pro-Israel.
00:23:40.220
And so I think, like, the war in Gaza was very unpopular.
00:23:44.600
But we're really going to—I don't see the—to me, like, what you're seeing now—like,
00:23:49.040
we could talk about this or not, but, like, the reaction on the right from the Christian
00:23:53.680
right, including people of all ages, to Nick Fuentes, to be like, he's not in.
00:24:00.880
You know, like, that's something you would never see on the left.
00:24:04.940
So when big influencers on the left say anti-Semitic things or platform anti-Semites, they close
00:24:12.920
But right now what you're seeing against Fuentes and even against Tucker and against Heritage
00:24:17.680
is the right—the mainstream of the right saying, actually, there's no room here for
00:24:23.700
So—and that seems to me to be really, really widespread.
00:24:27.840
And I don't think that's necessarily about Israel, but obviously it's, like, sort of
00:24:31.560
Well, Tucker Carlson used to be, like, the top voice in, you know, in this movement or whatever.
00:24:38.180
And now he's interviewing Nick Fuentes, he is attacking Christian Zionists, he seems
00:24:46.340
Candace Owens, of course, has now—very much runs this rhetoric.
00:24:50.420
And whether or not it's Nick Fuentes or not, it does feel like there's a divide on the right.
00:25:00.340
I predicted that on the right you have anti-interventionists as a dominant faction.
00:25:07.560
It could be Ukraine, it could be Afghanistan, it could be Israel.
00:25:15.520
And to be honest, I think it's not just Israel, it's the Jews.
00:25:19.260
You had, like, with the Women's March, that story from Tablet Magazine, where they were
00:25:22.660
accusing Jews of all sorts of weird conspiracies.
00:25:25.640
The right certainly has their anti-Semitic faction.
00:25:28.100
But the anti-Israel sentiment largely—I think the right has anti-intervention.
00:25:34.640
So in 10 years, when young right-wing individuals are in office and in power, they're not going
00:25:41.280
The left certainly doesn't want to, and Israel's likely going to get cut off.
00:25:46.940
By the way, I agree with all that, and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
00:25:50.600
Like, that's not—I don't think that's anti-Semitic at all.
00:25:53.340
I do think that Fuentes is, like, on a completely different level.
00:25:59.180
You know, like, this is the kind of—like, I feel like, you know the book, The Lorax,
00:26:04.460
Like, I speak to you as a swing voter who loves Trump and really found, like, a home
00:26:10.400
Like, swing voters don't vote for a party that can't say, like, Holocaust denial,
00:26:24.100
I mean, the way you're even approaching it right now is more upbeat, more critical.
00:26:29.400
The problem that I've seen consistently over the past several months is that the response
00:26:34.620
to Tucker and Heritage has been a massive detriment to the mainstream conservative and has massively
00:26:45.640
I don't know if I—I don't watch him consistently.
00:26:50.320
And what I see are holding up signs saying Tucker is not MAGA.
00:26:57.280
I will just say, like, okay, I just want to give a quick analogy, okay?
00:27:01.960
I was against us funding the war in Ukraine, okay?
00:27:08.600
I think Russia could be a very good ally for the United States.
00:27:11.500
I don't see that this is something working-class Americans, young people who will never be
00:27:17.080
able to afford a home should be asked to pay for, okay?
00:27:20.760
It's extremely unpopular, as you may imagine, in the mainstream media.
00:27:29.740
Some of the people who really hate it are Ukrainians, who will send you extremely horrible
00:27:38.000
Some of the people who hate it are mainstream, massive figures with millions of followers
00:27:44.960
None of that attack has pushed me to embrace Vladimir Putin as a hero and shit on Ukrainians
00:27:52.560
and Ukraine and their noble, noble effort to protect their sovereignty, okay?
00:28:00.180
I answer to my God, and I have to face myself in the mirror.
00:28:06.960
It is the Ukraine lobby's job to call me a fascist.
00:28:15.400
I really wish they wouldn't do that to my private home.
00:28:17.640
But it is their job to try to silence me in any way they can.
00:28:21.360
Mainstream pundits, I think, should have a little more dignity.
00:28:23.800
But I understand that people feel very strong about that.
00:28:26.560
My view is not going to be shaped in opposition to the worst element on the other side because
00:28:33.400
And I think that there's so much on the right that is following the clicks and following
00:28:38.340
the algorithm and allowing the worst element on the other side to determine.
00:28:44.160
And I just do not know how you do that because you're a content creator, but you are never
00:28:57.480
Remember all those conservatives who got caught taking money to promote sugary drinks for welfare
00:29:01.900
from Snap or promoting India in this trade dispute with Trump because they got paid to
00:29:14.460
My view of the left, the liberal faction, they want money.
00:29:20.700
We invited Don Lemon on the show and he responded with, or his people responded with, $50,000.
00:29:30.240
So when we invite liberals all the time, even Bill Maher was pointing this out, they won't
00:29:37.640
Or they'll just say, I want an exorbitant amount of money.
00:29:40.100
We invited Naima Trout to a Culture War live show.
00:29:42.700
And she first responds with her people, not her personally, $500.
00:29:47.880
And so, no, I think they asked how much we could pay.
00:29:50.060
And we said, we don't normally pay for people to come on shows, but the Culture War is a
00:29:53.560
So we'll cover travel accommodation and $500 for you to attend.
00:29:57.600
They agreed, then came back later saying, you know what?
00:30:05.160
In fact, I told my team, go offer the $5,000 to some other random leftist instead, just
00:30:09.480
because, like, they also turned it down, by the way.
00:30:13.800
So I was like, hey, I respect them for turning down the $5,000 in that regard.
00:30:16.780
I was like, you asked for it, you don't get it, we'll throw it to somebody else.
00:30:22.880
But I do think, I described this phenomenon earlier in the year, how to mind break somebody.
00:30:30.160
And I believe the right is wholly susceptible to it, but the left is guaranteed to be susceptible
00:30:35.840
What you'll do is, we've actually seen this happen.
00:30:46.920
And they made a video about, you know, a lot of, it was a video where they're like, a lot
00:30:51.180
of people have been saying they wanted to get my take on this one.
00:30:53.920
I'm just a fitness guy, but I understand it's really devastating and bad what happened.
00:30:58.940
That video gets five times as many views as the normal videos they make.
00:31:06.940
They get a bunch of comments saying, what do you think about what's going on right now
00:31:22.500
The comments all say, I appreciate you speaking up, but I think you're wrong about this.
00:31:27.920
What's happening is psychological operations, bot campaigns, and general farms in Pakistan
00:31:37.600
or Malaysia or Indonesia spam the comments very nicely suggesting, you may be wrong about
00:31:47.160
The content creator who once made videos about doing fitness, within a month or two of this,
00:31:52.980
their entire personality is now dedicated to Israel, and they hate Israel because they're
00:31:58.820
making 10 times as much money off the views and the ads.
00:32:01.860
And they respond with, but this is what the people wanted.
00:32:04.360
Mind-breaking through this kind of manipulation is extremely common and has been around forever
00:32:13.280
And that's how I think you end up with people who two years ago were Israel ambivalent or
00:32:20.540
And now they are prominent anti-Israel personalities.
00:32:30.100
I think you're allowed to dedicate everything of your being to criticizing and focusing on
00:32:36.680
But it doesn't make sense when, you know, I had a debate with someone and I said, did
00:32:41.740
you know that Ukraine has received more in two years than Israel has in 70 from the United
00:32:47.660
Did you know that the president of Ukraine personally flew to our Congress and they waved
00:32:52.940
So when they make these arguments about Israel's influence, I say, by all means, they have influence
00:33:01.900
The weird the weird thing that comes that I see is when like, by all means, again, criticize
00:33:06.880
Israel or whatever you think you're allowed to.
00:33:09.220
But it's strange when you notice someone who is like a chef on YouTube now only talks about
00:33:19.380
I think because the left is more likely to be grifters, they're very easily susceptible to
00:33:33.500
But Bhatia, are there any final thoughts you want to say before we wrap up?
00:33:38.700
Like when I agree with you, when I don't agree with you, I love what you're doing.
00:33:42.060
I think you're such a force for good and a patriot.
00:33:57.380
I'm not going to tell you where it airs because you have a very young audience.
00:34:14.040
I think there's a lot of people, you know, I will push back a little bit more on the,
00:34:20.060
she says, the mainstream rights pushing back against Tucker and Nick and all of that.
00:34:25.820
I certainly do think that there is an establishment conservative base that is very pro-Israel.
00:34:31.040
But their pushback of Tucker and Nick and Candace and others has been miserable.
00:34:38.900
When DeSantis was running, the pro-DeSantis people were the smarmiest.
00:34:55.900
Dude, the last thing that's going to make me change my opinion is being attacked by a mob of people.
00:35:05.680
So when you get people like Tucker who comes out, interviews Nick, he's allowed to do it.
00:35:11.040
You can't tell Tucker what he's allowed to think.
00:35:12.900
He's followers because of the things he said and the people who agree with him.
00:35:30.160
Tucker could have pushed back in certain areas.
00:35:32.400
I think when we have Nick on, here's the challenge.
00:35:38.160
The culture war is the actual debate where we freeform debate.
00:35:42.900
No, he wants to come on Timcast IRL where we will only just go over news of the day,
00:35:46.940
which means less likely for there to be any kind of debate.
00:35:53.140
And I'll criticize him when I think he needs to be criticized.
00:35:55.100
I think he's a bit, I think he's very vitriolic.
00:35:57.660
And I think he's wrong, especially about Hitler and World War II.
00:36:07.640
And this reaction to Tucker, I think, has been pathetic.
00:36:12.840
I say to Tucker, you're a guy with a lot of followers and you're allowed to believe what you want.
00:36:17.860
And people who say that Tucker shouldn't be speaking at turning point or that the right shouldn't embrace him or whatever,
00:36:25.820
I'm just like, dude, your response isn't an argument.
00:36:31.220
I'm going to platform leftists and communists' platform and they can come to my show and we'll debate.
00:36:37.260
And people seem to have no problem with that because I argue with them.
00:36:46.740
And then some people get mad and they're like, Tim, be more demure and don't insult people.
00:36:55.540
Anna Paulina Luna doesn't like me because I called her out because she wanted remote voting for Congress because she had a kid.
00:37:04.660
You don't get to open up Congress to remote work because you had a child.
00:37:09.800
And, you know, I guess now she's like, well, I don't want to go on Tim Pool's show.
00:37:14.200
But I'm not going to pretend to agree with Congress getting to vote remotely so I can try and get access to these politicians and personalities.
00:37:23.020
And yet the sad reality is much of journalism is called access journalism where people refuse to criticize stupid things from prominent people because they're worried they won't get access.
00:37:35.280
And if that means people don't want to come on my show or I won't go on theirs, well, whatever, maybe one day that will bite me in the ass, I'll fizzle out and I'll go live in a van down by the river.
00:37:51.340
And we're going to send you on your way to go hang out with him.
00:37:57.280
We got more coming up for you throughout the day.
00:38:07.480
We've got Logan Hall joining us tonight on TimCast IRL.
00:38:12.040
Shout out to Steven Crowder and the Mug Club for rating our show and for all of your viewers joining in and hanging out.
