The Culture War - Tim Pool - Woke Democrat CRIES After Losing Election, The New GOP Dem Realignment IS NOW

00:00:00.000 A couple of days ago, we saw progressive Democrats get absolutely crushed in Illinois.

00:00:05.980 And now we're learning more about who is helping to fund their opposition candidates.

00:00:10.180 And plus, we have the war going on in the Middle East and many conservative personalities

00:00:14.280 coming out against Donald Trump, or at least begging him to reverse course.

00:00:19.880 And it looks like a massive realignment is happening.

00:00:23.160 Perhaps this is back to the status quo, the way things used to be in the 2000s.

00:00:28.160 And I think that's one way to put it, but we don't know for sure.

00:00:31.380 What we can say is that this woke period seems to be getting crushed.

00:00:37.440 Progressive Democrats have started to lose.

00:00:39.460 Squad members losing their primaries.

00:00:41.660 Jasmine Crockett is gone.

00:00:44.600 The progressive element of the Democratic Party is getting washed out.

00:00:48.520 And at the same time, there are many prominent conservative personalities.

00:00:51.440 They're adopting a similar line of questioning or a worldview to many of these liberals.

00:00:55.840 Could it be that the powers that be, the machine state, is recalibrating and then icing out those

00:01:04.140 anti-interventionist independent voices?

00:01:06.300 Or could this just be the new left-right realignment?

00:01:10.580 Massive coalition forming of anti-interventionist, anti-war, and largely anti-Israel personalities

00:01:16.220 up against a Democratic Party, a Republican Party that is pro-war and pro-intervention.

00:01:22.380 I don't see the reality of a third party emerging.

00:01:26.920 It doesn't seem to make sense.

00:01:28.280 But something certainly is happening where you will have, at least it appears to be,

00:01:33.160 moderate Democrat types largely aligned with Republican moderate types.

00:01:37.600 And then you will have left and right populists, largely anti-intervention, anti-Israel,

00:01:43.420 that seem to agree on most things.

00:01:46.480 Now, if woke truly gets washed out, and what I mean by that is the gender stuff and the race

00:01:53.040 stuff, you're going to find that for the most part, progressives like Cenk Uygur and conservatives

00:01:58.900 like Tucker Carlson are going to completely align.

00:02:03.220 Now, I say completely.

00:02:04.100 I'm saying only if they drop the more fringe elements of the culture war.

00:02:07.420 But they share a tremendous amount of political worldview.

00:02:10.580 I wonder how this manifests.

00:02:13.940 What we can say is, based on what happened in Illinois and the reaction from the left,

00:02:18.920 it's not going well for the progressives and the woke.

00:02:21.880 And certainly, many Democrats have argued the right shook hands with anti-Israel white nationalist

00:02:27.400 types.

00:02:28.180 And now they're getting pushed out as Donald Trump decides he's going to be working with

00:02:32.000 Israel and moving in on Iran.

00:02:33.700 But this political faction that is very anti-Israel and also anti-intervention won't just cease

00:02:40.160 to exist.

00:02:41.380 The data that we're getting from this race in Illinois shows that AIPAC, the Israel lobby,

00:02:47.120 funded the opposition to the progressives to a massive degree.

00:02:51.380 We also have the purchasing of CBS, the installation of Barry Weiss, a proud and self-identified Zionist.

00:02:59.560 And then, of course, we have the purchase of TikTok.

00:03:01.420 Many questions are arising with the resignation of Joe Kent.

00:03:06.260 And so we're going to break down this whole phenomenon point by point.

00:03:09.360 And you tell me what you think is going on.

00:03:12.500 I made the point several weeks ago or several months ago, half jokingly, that the new left-right

00:03:17.820 paradigm will be pro-Israel, anti-Israel.

00:03:21.200 I don't think it's that simple.

00:03:23.220 But I do believe that there is some kind of component there.

00:03:26.160 And it may actually be status quo, Bush and Obama era policies versus internet-based populist

00:03:35.400 policies.

00:03:36.540 In the end, the question is, who will make things cheaper for the American people?

00:03:39.960 Who will secure our borders, bring back jobs? 0.97

00:03:43.140 Because in the end, whether it's foreign policy intervention or otherwise, regular people are 0.88

00:03:48.420 going to ask the question of, how do I afford milk, bread, and eggs?

00:03:51.300 And whoever can deliver that is going to win.

00:03:54.440 But of course, we're going to start with this story, the reaction from the aggressive left

00:03:57.400 having lost their primary race.

00:04:00.560 Oh, it's not too good.

00:04:01.680 Before we do, my friends, head over to TimCast.com and join our Discord community.

00:04:07.500 We cannot do this without you.

00:04:09.600 As a member of the Discord, you will join tens of thousands of like-minded individuals.

00:04:13.560 So networking is power.

00:04:15.440 Community is our strength.

00:04:17.040 You want to know how these people succeed?

00:04:18.740 It's not what you know.

00:04:19.520 It's who you know.

00:04:20.100 And when you get in this community, if there's something you want to do, there are people that

00:04:23.800 can help you do it.

00:04:24.500 Maybe you know how to do something, and you can help them do it.

00:04:27.800 All in all, it's a great place to hang out, and you'll be supporting the work we do every

00:04:31.880 single day, the work that I do in producing these videos.

00:04:34.180 So it would be greatly appreciated.

00:04:35.580 Head over to TimCast.com.

00:04:36.980 But let's start with this story from Fox News.

00:04:39.580 Progressive influencer erupts after Illinois primary loss drops profane anti-Trump ice rant.

00:04:48.060 Heavens.

00:04:48.460 Kat Abugazela received about 26% of the vote in Illinois Democratic primary, losing to 0.99

00:04:53.240 Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss.

00:04:54.360 Now, of course, I did cover this, but we do have her statement here, which I wonder if

00:04:59.480 they're going to bleep it out.

00:05:00.660 There are progressives all over the country who are taking a chance just like we did,

00:05:04.940 and we have to help them win.

00:05:07.260 No matter how hard it is, we have to send a message to this administration and anyone

00:05:11.600 who enables it, and I'm talking directly to them right now.

00:05:14.940 You and your jobs are not safe.

00:05:17.800 This is the start and not the end.

00:05:20.400 No, it's the end.

00:05:20.940 We are not tolerating the status quo.

00:05:27.720 You cannot kidnap and kill us and our neighbors.

00:05:32.220 You cannot start illegal wars.

00:05:36.020 You cannot trample on our rights and see our lives as a means for profit.

00:05:40.560 We will continue to come back, and every single loss like this one just makes the path easier

00:05:46.440 for the next person who takes the same chance.

00:05:48.880 We are not done, and I am not going anywhere.

00:05:59.540 When I said I would spend every single waking moment of the rest of my life to hold this

00:06:06.340 administration accountable, win or lose, I f***ing meant it.

00:06:11.720 And I know all of you do, too.

00:06:13.840 So thank you for supporting us. 0.99

00:06:15.620 I'm sorry that this sucks, but f*** Trump, f*** ICE, free Palestine, and I love you all. 0.99

00:06:24.740 Indeed. 0.99

00:06:25.540 Well, my friends, we've got the latest update from Axios.

00:06:28.500 AIPAC finally notches some Democratic primary wins.

00:06:31.960 There are a couple of questions that I have.

00:06:33.760 The first, of course, is where this all goes.

00:06:36.360 I think many of you are asking this.

00:06:38.160 We have seen, over the past several months, squad members lose their primaries.

00:06:43.340 Jasmine Crockett is gone.

00:06:45.860 She got iced out.

00:06:47.340 Stephen Colbert and James Tallarico had this little hoax plan where they attacked Trump,

00:06:52.920 cut her out from the conversation, and then she lost.

00:06:56.420 I think it's actually pretty despicable what they did, despite not really being a fan of

00:07:01.440 Jasmine Crockett.

00:07:02.540 But the machine state wants its status quo back.

00:07:05.040 And what we have seen in Illinois suggests that's what they're doing.

00:07:08.840 But that being said, there is still the inverse.

00:07:13.540 There's the Candace Owens, the Megyn Kelly, the Tucker Carlson, the people who are largely

00:07:16.760 critical of Israel, enjoying massive viewership over the past six months.

00:07:22.340 They have seen a tremendous amount of views over these issues.

00:07:26.560 Certainly, there is a political faction forming that is deeply critical of Israel, even if AIPAC

00:07:31.640 is winning these political races.

00:07:34.060 When you take a look at Donald Trump, the Republican Party, the polls show that most people support

00:07:38.700 the Republican Party. 0.99

00:07:40.160 So they're pretty happy with what Trump is doing, even if Israel is acting a fool. 0.74

00:07:44.600 On the Democrats side with their primaries, AIPAC is nailing these victories.

00:07:48.520 I don't know where these anti-Israel people go, but it at least seems from the establishment

00:07:54.460 perspective, they're getting cut out.

00:07:57.440 What's strange to me is that while they are, Tucker Carlson is enjoying massive viewership.

00:08:03.460 I mentioned Candace and Megyn Kelly, but where do they go and what is the point of allowing

00:08:08.880 that to continue?

00:08:09.660 And I'm going to be completely real.

00:08:11.340 You make all the arguments in the world about free speech and I agree.

00:08:14.220 I don't think anyone should be banned.

00:08:15.760 But certainly you understand, for the past 10 years, YouTube and these big platforms

00:08:20.860 were shutting people down.

00:08:22.980 You would be banned if you said naughty words.

00:08:26.400 So then why does YouTube allow these voices such prominence to grow?

00:08:34.180 Maybe it is a Pied Piper psyop.

00:08:37.340 Maybe it's just YouTube's not intervening, but I really just don't believe it.

00:08:42.460 I mean, we've been censored and shadow banned, and do you really believe the deep state would

00:08:46.920 just let anybody do what they want?

00:08:48.680 Don't you remember COVID?

00:08:50.540 So then I wonder if all of this is just one big game.

00:08:54.340 Pied Piper, the anti-Israel voices, off into the corner, nuked their channels, shut them

00:08:59.340 down, and then in the next two years, you get a new left-right paradigm.

00:09:05.680 Woke is dead.

00:09:06.740 The realignment is now.

00:09:07.940 You are going to get moderate, relatively anti-interventionist Democrats, and you are

00:09:13.380 going to get neocon Republicans, just like Obama McCain, where Obama presents himself

00:09:19.780 as the, we shouldn't be involved in these wars, and we should bring the troops home.

00:09:23.200 But then what does he do?

00:09:24.120 He starts several new wars, sends more troops to the Middle East.

00:09:27.800 So they market themselves as anti-war, anti-intervention.

00:09:31.120 I believe that's really where it's all going.

00:09:34.680 I really do.

00:09:36.960 You know, it's going to be interesting to see how all of this stuff plays out, because

00:09:40.740 there are many people who are just chasing after the views.

00:09:45.120 I'm not going to accuse anyone directly, but let me just say, there are people who intentionally

00:09:48.960 produce content, hoping that it maximizes their views in the algorithm.

00:09:52.540 I am not one of those individuals, and I have repeatedly made videos that I just felt

00:09:56.400 like making, despite them getting lesser views.

00:09:59.360 Sometimes I talk about AI, people don't really watch.

00:10:02.780 Sometimes I will tell you outright that it looks like the machine state is buying up the

00:10:07.640 media, putting in place pro-Israel personalities and politicians, and the other side will tell

00:10:13.720 you somewhat the same thing while claiming that Israel controls the whole world or whatever.

00:10:19.000 Interesting nonetheless.

00:10:20.300 Let's read a little bit more, and let me walk through everything that we're seeing, and

00:10:23.520 I'll break it down for you what I think's going on.

00:10:26.120 Axios reports.

00:10:27.200 The pro-Israel group AIPAC notched some much-needed victories on Tuesday night in Illinois, with

00:10:32.440 two Democratic House candidates it backed winning their races.

00:10:35.900 Long a big spender in Democratic politics, AIPAC's reputation within the party's grassroots

00:10:40.660 has never been worse, and yet, with some delicate maneuvering, it proved it can still use its

00:10:45.700 massive campaign war chest to devastating effect.

00:10:49.280 The group largely disguised the millions it spent across four Illinois House races, funneling money

00:10:54.620 through PACs with anodyne names like Elect Chicago Women and Chicago Progressive Partnership, CPP.

00:11:02.700 The latter group targeted pro-Palestinian progressives by going after their leftist bona fides,

00:11:07.280 essentially accusing them of being closet Republicans, and even in one case, boosting a left-wing

00:11:13.960 splinter candidate.

00:11:14.980 I think it's fair to say that Illinois made AIPAC the comeback kid, one centrist House Democrat

00:11:21.440 told Axios.

00:11:22.880 Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller defeated Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Progressive State

00:11:27.400 Senator Robert Peters in the state's second congressional district.

00:11:31.120 Miller was supported by nearly $4.5 million in ad spending from AIPAC-affiliated group Affordable

00:11:36.700 Chicago Now, according to ad impact.

00:11:39.620 Rep. Robin Kelly gave up the seat to run for U.S. Senate, but lost to the governor,

00:11:44.560 Juliana Stratton.

00:11:46.380 Former Rep. Melissa Bean beat progressive rival Junaid Ahmed in the race to succeed Rep.

00:11:52.520 Raja Krishnamurthy, another unsuccessful Senate candidate.

00:11:57.120 Elect Chicago Women spent $3.3 million in support of Bean, while Chicago Progressive Partnership

00:12:02.520 spent another $700,000 painting Ahmed as a wealthy ally of Elon Musk and fossil fuel interests.

00:12:09.660 Bean was also supported by ads from crypto and AIPACs, which, similar to AIPAC's ads,

00:12:13.920 portrayed the centrist ex-lawmaker as a progressive fighter and staunch foe of ICE.

00:12:19.640 The significant reversal of fortunes for AIPAC, which suffered an embarrassing defeat in the

00:12:23.640 special election to fill New Jersey Governor Mickey Sherrill's seat in the House.

00:12:27.520 AIPAC spent more than $2 million attacking former Rep. Tom Malinowski, a liberal

00:12:32.280 Zionist, that's interesting, in support of their candidate Tanisha Wei. That cleared room for 0.57

00:12:38.160 Annalilia Mejia, a more decisively progressive pro-Palestinian candidate to win. The group

00:12:44.220 suffered a similar loss last cycle with the election of Rep. David Min, who it spent millions opposing.

00:12:50.680 Other lawmakers AIPAC supported that cycle include Reps Maxine Dexter and Valerie Fushi.

00:12:55.700 They have since broken decisively with them on Israel. They do say AIPAC fell short in the

00:13:02.520 closely watched race to replace Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the ninth. It backed staunchly pro-Israel

00:13:07.620 state Senator Laura Fine, who came in third behind left-wing influencer Kat Abu Ghazala and 0.91

00:13:13.340 progressive Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss. The group spent millions going after Biss at first,

00:13:17.960 but pivoted in the final stretch of the campaign to going primarily after Abu Ghazala,

00:13:22.120 with ads suggesting she secretly holds right-wing views and boosting a lower-tier progressive 0.97

00:13:27.400 candidate Bushra Amawala. And they're going to mention quite a bit more. Now, here's where we're

00:13:32.680 headed, according to Kalshi. Which party will win the U.S. House? And as I say, Democrats are defeated.

00:13:38.540 Now, hold on there a gosh darn minute. What I'm saying is the current iteration of the Democratic

00:13:43.240 Party with this massive progressive push has been crushed. Woke is dead. The centrist, moderate,

00:13:50.220 corporate Democrat, is coming back with a vengeance. And they're getting beautiful funding from AIPAC.

00:13:57.060 We see an 84% likelihood, according to the prediction markets, that the Democratic Party

00:14:02.200 will take the House. And it is becoming increasing more likely, according to the prediction markets,

00:14:07.960 that they'll get the House and the Senate, which is very, very bad news for Donald Trump.

00:14:13.420 But my friends, there is something particularly interesting that we are seeing.

00:14:18.680 A realignment and a shift that is occurring right before our eyes. It could be construed as an icing

00:14:24.340 out. What I mean by that is those that are staunchly anti-Israel are going to get choked out of the media

00:14:30.040 environment because prominent personalities, pro-Israel personalities, neocon or otherwise,

00:14:36.020 are purchasing up media and changing the algorithm. At the same time, I have to question,

00:14:41.040 because I don't really know. YouTube seems to be absolutely propping up those who hate Israel,

00:14:47.160 which is really interesting. I'd be interested in looking at their metrics, however,

00:14:51.560 because for those that are very questioning of Israel, well, it is true that 54% of people,

00:14:57.540 according to Pew Research, hold a negative view of Israel. If you produce content that has access to

00:15:03.160 the global stage, well, you'll find there are several billion people who don't like Israel.

00:15:07.600 And if you're open to getting viewers from other countries that are either Islamic or just anti-Israel,

00:15:13.440 well, then your viewership will be pretty dang good. And we don't know for sure, but many people

00:15:17.220 have made the argument that these personalities on YouTube who are getting massive viewership

00:15:20.660 are actually getting foreigners to watch their content. May be the case, I'm not entirely sure.

00:15:26.580 But what I will say is on X, we have seen since Elon Musk, since X, rolled to the feature where you

00:15:32.440 can see what country a person is from, boy, was it crazy. You had fake MAGA accounts being run from

00:15:39.820 India. You had fake progressive Native American accounts being run from Bangladesh. 0.96

00:15:45.960 We know foreign individuals are influencing our political machine and they're doing it to disrupt 1.00

00:15:52.540 our political system. So one thing that I would find interesting is if you are a voice that is

00:15:58.060 critical of US foreign policy, well, yeah, foreign countries that don't like those policies can

00:16:05.240 easily prop up your videos and make it look like you're getting a whole lot of money.

00:16:09.420 But I would just say this, the company that I run, I've never been shy in pointing this out.

00:16:15.980 We do eight figures, right? We've done, you know, I don't know, 13 to 15 million a year.

00:16:21.520 Take a look at the views that we get. I mean, the video that I did on this channel yesterday is like

00:16:25.300 100 and 200,000, maybe at this point, 200,000 views. That's about how much I get on these videos.

00:16:32.140 You take a look at the Timcast News channel, which varies. I'm messing around with the time slot in

00:16:38.960 the past week or so. I produced a ton of videos yesterday and, uh, you know, 150,000, sometimes

00:16:46.120 200. I had one hit 500,000. To be fair, I had a video here a couple of weeks ago, did about a million

00:16:50.980 views. And not to mention that some of these videos, they, they, they do really well on Rumble,

00:16:55.200 but I told you how much money we generally make as a company. Now, most of it goes into paying

00:16:59.100 salaries and running the business. I personally am not taking that as profit or anything like that,

00:17:02.800 but based on the views, some of these other channels are getting, which you can easily see

00:17:07.240 are much, much bigger than mine. Were it true that those are legitimate American viewers watching ads,

00:17:13.220 these people would be making 50 to $70 million per year. Maybe that's the case. I'll also tell you

00:17:21.820 that for our audio side of the podcast, we do like a hundred K downloads per day, which is substantially

00:17:27.740 smaller than many of these other, these other podcasts, especially those that are critical of

00:17:32.340 Israel. And I'm going to tell you, as I already told you about our, our revenue again, if these people 0.95

00:17:37.420 really were getting that massive viewership, they would be making 50 to $70 million a year. Hey,

00:17:44.040 maybe they are because a lot of people have said, Tim, if these people are already rich,

00:17:49.240 why would they do this? Why would they make these videos? I'm like, well, let me tell you

00:17:52.260 based on the revenue we generate, uh, those people might be making 50 to $70 million. You want to call

00:17:58.300 them rich. Yeah. They'd be making a lot more money if that's the case, but I got to be honest. I find it

00:18:03.240 tremendously hard to believe. I know the metrics on some of these big podcasts and I've, I've talked

00:18:08.380 with some of these companies and some of these shows that are really big, they do about 30 million

00:18:14.040 per year. Don't get me wrong. That's a lot of money, but their viewership is substantially larger

00:18:17.800 than mine. So it's a diminishing return. I don't think these people are making that much money,

00:18:23.100 but anyway, I digress. Cenk Uygur, the young Turk says, and now they come asking for $200 billion for 0.97

00:18:29.860 Israel's war. Why doesn't our special ally pay for the war? They're the ones who wanted it. 0.98

00:18:35.380 Why do we have to pay all of Israel's bills and fight all their wars? And at home, we're always 0.96

00:18:39.700 told that we don't have enough for the American people. And then we have Anna Kasparian. This isn't

00:18:44.540 just a Netanyahu problem. It's an Israel problem. Democratic lawmakers are just as controlled by 0.69

00:18:48.160 Israel, Israeli interests as Republicans are. We need to decouple from Israel. The future of America 1.00

00:18:53.080 literally depends on it. Republicans are currently looking to pass a reconciliation bill that will provide

00:18:57.220 another $100 billion for Israel's war against Iran. Reconciliation means the Senate could pass the

00:19:01.980 supplemental funding bill with a simple majority if they cut $100 billion from programs that benefit

00:19:06.520 Americans in America. Well, I don't completely disagree with what they're saying. I highlight it because

00:19:12.400 they're in complete alignment with Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly. This is a new

00:19:18.140 political faction. We have this from the New York Post. Woke never really died. It's coming back with a

00:19:24.180 vengeance. And we should be terrified. This from January. I don't completely agree. While they

00:19:30.540 highlight Zoran Mamdani, Zoran Mamdani is very Israel critical. He is very progressive and he did

00:19:37.800 win in New York, but New York is struggling. Wealthy people are leaving. Kathy Hochul is trying not to tax

00:19:44.460 the rich. I'm not entirely convinced that this worldview will ultimately be successful. And then we have,

00:19:51.260 yeah, anti-Israel activists who call Jews cockroaches has multiple links to Zoran Mamdani's 0.95

00:19:56.280 family, despite attempts to distance themselves. The point I'm bringing up is that it seems that 0.87

00:20:00.760 anti-Israel seems to be the principal dividing point right now. And the, I guess you'd call it

00:20:07.300 establishment Republican Party, they're pro-Israel. The establishment Democratic Party,

00:20:12.620 they are pro-Israel. And the reason why I highlight Zoran Mamdani is not just to point out

00:20:17.040 he's anti-Israel, but it's the point out that during the mayoral election, all of the mayors

00:20:21.940 were asked or the candidates, if you could go to any country, where would you go? And they're all

00:20:25.780 like Israel. And then Zoran Mamdani was the only guy who was like, I would just stay here to help the

00:20:30.580 people of New York, which plays really well domestically and is probably why he won. But it's

00:20:35.780 funny. It is pretty dang weird when they're all like Israel over and over and over again. 1.00

00:20:41.100 Now here's where it gets interesting. The New York Post says top CBS evening news producer may

00:20:46.800 be on the chopping block as ratings plummet to new low. Time may be ticking for the top producer at

00:20:52.960 CBS News as ratings sink below 4 million, a new low for the Tony Docapul anchored show, CBS told the

00:20:59.380 Post. Executive producer Kim Harvey has overseen the nightly broadcast since August, will ultimately

00:21:03.520 take the fall unless she can pull the network's flagship out of the abyss, blah, blah, blah. 1.00

00:21:06.820 They're going to mention that NBC News is due. I'm sorry. ABC is doing 8.5 million. NBC is doing

00:21:13.320 six and the CBS evening new has news has dropped to 3.8. I highlight this just as all of this is

00:21:20.800 confusing and we're trying to map this out. CBS was purchased and Barry Weiss, a self-avowed

00:21:27.120 Zionist has taken over. She is attempting to pull CBS out of a tailspin. They have in many ways shifted 0.99

00:21:33.840 away from woke Democrat and seem to be, they're trying to be a moderate Democrat. So they're still

00:21:41.400 somewhat anti-Trump and a little lefty, but they are pro-Israel. The question is, will this ultimately

00:21:48.640 work out? The Washington Post reports the Ellisons are building a media empire. Trump keeps cheering 0.97

00:21:55.860 them on. The president and defense secretary have each heaped praise on Larry and David Ellison

00:22:00.740 as the DOJ reviews Paramount Skydance's Warner Bros deal. They say the Ellison family, two great

00:22:07.080 people, great people. It's a great family. Trump said on Monday in remarks ahead of the Kennedy Center

00:22:11.380 board meeting that referenced CBS. On Friday, Hegseth called Warner Bros own CNN coverage of

00:22:16.300 the Israeli war in Iran fake news. The sooner David Ellison takes over the network, the better,

00:22:21.680 Hegseth said. A spokeswoman for CNN declined to comment on his remarks. CNN, a longtime target of Trump's

00:22:27.460 complaint in the media is among the most prominent assets in Paramount's pending acquisition of Warner

00:22:32.120 Bros, which requires approval from the DOJ. Larry Ellison, co-founder and chairman of Oracle and

00:22:37.760 longtime friend in LA of Trump, has financially backstopped Paramount's pending deal to buy Warner

00:22:42.420 Bros and is also a major investor in the White House blessed deal that spun off TikTok into a US

00:22:48.240 company that has helped rebrand the tech billionaire and his son, David, into media tycoons with some help

00:22:54.040 from Trump. The administration's posture towards Paramount's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros

00:22:57.960 Discovery has drawn scrutiny since a bidding war erupted over the troubled media giant late last

00:23:02.020 year. After Netflix announced an $83 billion deal in December to buy most of Warner Bros Discovery and

00:23:07.760 spin off CNN and other cable properties, Trump told reporters he would be involved in deciding whether

00:23:12.100 to approve it, citing the streaming giant's market power as a potential concern. Days later, Paramount launched

00:23:17.460 a hostile bid for the entire company, including CNN, backed by a personal guarantee of more than $40

00:23:23.020 billion from Larry Ellison. Netflix ultimately withdrew its offer last month after Paramount increased

00:23:29.060 its bid, allowing it to strike a deal to merge with Warner Bros. The merger could reshape Hollywood

00:23:34.300 and the news industry by placing two major Hollywood studios, two major streaming services, and two major

00:23:40.080 news brands under one roof. And wait, there's more. The Ellisons love Israel. So as they take on 0.99

00:23:48.420 Paramount and put Barry Weiss and avowed Zionist in place, it seems to be the moneyed interests are

00:23:54.940 buying up the media, funding the politicians, and restoring the status quo. Now I got a million and

00:24:00.560 one theories on why this may be. I don't know. We've got this from The Intercept. Anti-Palestinian

00:24:06.840 billionaires can now control what TikTok users see. You know, guys, the machine state's coming back.

00:24:13.560 Many prominent donors and pro-Israel, Zionist, Jewish or otherwise, let woke happen. And woke

00:24:21.880 hates Israel. And TikTok was propping up anti-Israel content. You're allowed to be critical

00:24:27.300 of Israel, but these powerful interests don't like it. So what are they going to do? They're

00:24:31.560 going to buy up the media. They're going to shift the narrative and they are going to say,

00:24:35.340 we are all pro-Israel now. And you know, I will tell you this for a fact, that's the agenda.

00:24:41.680 Now, what I will also say is, I've talked about it quite a bit because I wear my thoughts on my

00:24:49.560 sleeve and I don't know if it really matters. I genuinely believe that whether or not you get

00:24:55.700 prominent viewership on these social media platforms is based upon whether or not the

00:25:00.000 machine state decides that you will. I think the algorithm, they've got their fingers on the scale

00:25:05.400 and we've known this for some time. I've been in communication with several companies for a long

00:25:09.740 time. And, uh, there's always been offers levied at us because we're an independent company. We

00:25:14.160 own ourselves. We have no outside investment. We don't take money from foreign countries or

00:25:17.040 anything like this. The media reports on this stuff. It's all just fake news. We've only ever

00:25:21.100 worked with American companies on licensing deals, including some big ones, some small ones,

00:25:24.500 and we have advertisers, members, and that funds everything. Everyone's always got some excuse to

00:25:28.560 explain how we exist. And I think the reality is probably just that the machine state tolerates my

00:25:33.300 existence. They either like it or they just don't care. And that's why my channel seems to exist

00:25:37.960 as it is not particularly the biggest big in some ways, but yeah. So we've had companies reach out

00:25:43.140 to us and say, they'd be interested in investing. And the truth is we do need strategic investment

00:25:48.920 because we're a mom and pop shop, media, media shop, you know, mom and pop media shop. What

00:25:53.760 are you going to call it? Well, these conversations have come up and well, there's never been an instance

00:25:59.360 where someone called me and said, you must support Israel. That's never happened. There is an effort

00:26:04.260 to acquire podcasts. And I believe what we will see moving forward as I've explained in great deal

00:26:09.760 is that these staunchly anti introvert, well, let me put it like this because it's a bigger picture.

00:26:15.320 If you are populist left or right, you are going to get iced out, you know, ice that you're going to

00:26:21.780 get, you're going to take, you're going to get removed from the big picture. We are seeing the

00:26:25.740 progressive left lose and you can call it a pack or whatever you want, but the military industrial

00:26:30.800 complex, the deep state, the machine state wants its narrative machine back. And so

00:26:36.020 they're going to pick winners and losers. So I am curious about what YouTube is doing. I don't

00:26:41.880 exactly know, but there are some things I can tell you, which you may find very interesting.

00:26:49.280 Take a look at this from media. Gabbard says she checked her personal views at the door

00:26:53.040 when asked if Trump's Iran war is constitutional. I actually think that's honorable of Tulsi Gabbard

00:26:59.440 because you know, she, she's not in favor of war with Iran, but she's doing her job and she is

00:27:05.240 serving this country and it's duly elected president as she was asked to do. Now there have

00:27:10.460 been people who have attacked her and call, I believe Dave Smith called her a traitor to this

00:27:14.860 country for pushing us into a war with lies. And certainly you're allowed to criticize these people.

00:27:21.240 And I do, I do, I do like Dave, but I would also counter with this. Tulsi Gabbard was asked to do a

00:27:26.180 job for the American people based on who they elected. Donald Trump is that president.

00:27:30.100 I don't know that she or Trump is lying. Dave thinks she is. She is checking her personal views

00:27:37.400 to do the job she was asked to do. And I actually find that to be honorable.

00:27:41.160 I think it'd be dishonorable if she said, I'm not going to serve this president who you elected.

00:27:46.060 Now you may not like what Trump is doing. And certainly I have my criticisms,

00:27:48.920 but the solution to that is to vote in the midterms in which I think the Republicans will

00:27:54.460 probably get smacked down. But then again, where does this bring us? AIPAC is, is winning.

00:28:02.080 Their candidates are, are, are, are taking the cake. The progressives are getting pushed out.

00:28:05.060 So even if Democrats win, it looks like status quo is back on the table, baby.

00:28:09.780 And then the question is who will the winners and losers in the podcast race really be? And I got to

00:28:15.960 be honest, I think it's going to be a lot of lowbrow stuff. You know, truth be told, I think my show

00:28:21.360 is probably a little too highbrow. I'm not saying I'm the smartest guy in the world or even in the

00:28:24.860 room. I'm saying that the discussions that we have on foreign policy are particularly in depth

00:28:31.180 and the average person doesn't really follow. It's easier to just scream Israel and bang on the 0.59

00:28:35.440 table than to talk about say the, the liberal economic order, the petrodollar system and all

00:28:40.660 of us military interests. So I'm going to give you a quick final five minute breakdown, uh, giving you

00:28:46.500 the full details based on surface level analysis. I don't have access to classified information.

00:28:51.080 I do have friends who, who work in some of this, uh, some of these sectors, but let me just say it

00:28:55.560 like this. One of the first things that Donald Trump did as he got into office was target Panama.

00:29:01.120 Trump wants the Panama canal back and they were working on a deal with China. China 10 years ago,

00:29:07.120 15 years ago, wanted to build a canal through Nicaragua, which would massacre this massive lake.

00:29:12.160 And that was big, bad news. It was a massive undertaking. They also ultimately abandoned

00:29:16.960 as they tried to make a move on Panama. Instead, Trump said no, and has secured Panama as we slide

00:29:23.880 on up. Of course, we have the issue with Venezuela way down here. Don't don't, you know, people don't 0.97

00:29:28.820 understand just where Cuba and Venezuela is because they look at the flat map. Well, Venezuela down here

00:29:33.620 has just lost Maduro and we've seized back control of our oil assets. Cuba is now is now shut out

00:29:39.760 and they're without power or energy. Russia and China trying to bring oil in there. But Trump is

00:29:43.920 bringing them back into the fold. This is Monroe doctrine. More importantly, we have the conversation 0.54

00:29:48.600 around Greenland and Canada. And this has to do with the Northwest passage. All of this is trade

00:29:54.400 routes largely for oil. The U S polices, these, these, these areas, you have these straight Syria of

00:30:01.320 Denmark, you have the straight of Gibraltar, Gibraltar, extremely important, but Hey, with Morocco and 0.99

00:30:06.860 Spain, largely under Western control, you have the Suez canal. Let's realign this little earth here 0.83

00:30:12.460 and reset to North. So you can see the Suez canal with Egypt and Israel right there on the side of

00:30:17.960 peninsula. Then of course you have the Bosphorus and the black sea, Russia, the battle with in Ukraine 0.78

00:30:23.880 over access to Crimea and Sevastopol. All of this lines up very, very simply. The Suez canal in the

00:30:30.520 Red Sea under threat by Houthi rebels. They don't like Israel and they were bombing civilian vessels.

00:30:35.940 Then you have the Strait of Hormuz. This is the big point of contention right now. You have 20% of the

00:30:43.420 world's energy moving through the Strait of Hormuz and Iran is threatening it. So what do you get? This is 0.80

00:30:50.180 not Israel's war. Israel has their war. This is the global order, the petrodollar and the status quo saying 0.84

00:30:57.720 we do not tolerate Iran, the Iran, the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war were largely an effort to 1.00

00:31:04.940 surround Iran. So whether you like that or not, that is what is currently going on. This is why the 1.00

00:31:12.300 U S wants to be involved. It is not just because of Israel, Israel's interests. And the reason why

00:31:17.720 they are attacking Iran and just flattening their oil industry, despite Trump getting pissed.

00:31:22.320 Well, it's because Iran funds Hamas, Hezbollah and other militia forces and proxy groups in the

00:31:29.500 region, which are trying to destroy Israel. So for Israel, this is an ideological and existential war

00:31:35.240 with Iran for the United States. It is about securing oil trade and forcing the world into the petrodollar 0.88

00:31:42.440 system where you buy oil in dollars. And so fighting with Iran war with Iran, that interest

00:31:51.800 is aligned with Israel. Now it's overly simplified. I can go into great detail about Ukraine next.

00:31:57.500 You want to talk about the Qatar Turkey plot pipeline where Western powers wanted to build a pipeline

00:32:01.340 through Iraq, Syria, Turkey into Europe, offsetting Russia's gas prom, natural gas monopoly. They control

00:32:07.220 about 20% of natural gas into Europe and they crank the price up and it chokes out economic growth

00:32:12.080 in Europe. So the U.S. tried to do this and Bashar al-Assad said, absolutely not. So what happens?

00:32:16.660 He's a terrorist, I guess. The U.S. then funds these militia groups in Syria, these rebel factions

00:32:22.020 to ultimately join up with ISIS, thus inadvertently fueling and arming ISIS in hopes that ISIS would

00:32:29.320 destabilize Bashar al-Assad's regime, knocking him out of power, which ultimately it did. And he fled to

00:32:35.240 Russia. This is not because of Israel. It's because of Europe. But there's a lot more to this story. There is the

00:32:43.860 Pacific theater. There's Australia and China and Taiwan. And Israel doesn't play a role in those things. Certainly

00:32:51.040 you don't have to like Israel, but man, Israel derangement syndrome is crazy. Now I have to be completely honest 0.97

00:32:57.180 with you guys. I am not convinced that the future of whatever it is the machine is building, there is a space for someone

00:33:03.040 like me to outright just tell you the general surface level of foreign policy news, confident crisis. The machine

00:33:09.260 state never wants to say to you that we're doing this for oil and we're forcing people to adhere to our

00:33:13.920 machinations. And the anti-Israel people are like Tim's a Jew because he won't criticize Israel or whatever.

00:33:20.460 Although I've criticized Israel, just not in the right ways, I guess. So whatever this space is being created, maybe I 0.69

00:33:26.200 retire in the long run. I think whatever happens, there is something shifting and I don't know who's going to win.

00:33:33.400 And I don't know why it's happening the way it is, but it is happening. I'm going to wrap it up there,

00:33:38.600 my friends, with so much more to talk about throughout the rest of the day. Smash the like
