Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - CNN CUTS Trump Press Sec's Mic PROVING Debate Will Be Biased w-Mary Margaret Olohan | Timcast IRL

00:00:00.000 We got some pretty big news today.

00:00:17.000 I think the biggest story, of course, is that Julian Assange has been freed.

00:00:20.000 I believe he's already been freed.

00:00:21.000 He reached a plea agreement with the U.S.

00:00:23.000 government.

00:00:24.000 Now, we were originally going to lead with this story, but I believe it may be a bit too esoteric for the average person in that the nuances of the Donald Trump-Joe Biden issue surrounding Julian Assange Very complicated, so I'm not sure that the average person can see a simple headline pertaining to this and understand the gravity of it.

00:00:43.000 As it pertains to domestic policy, however, CNN this morning cut off The Trump press secretary, Carolyn Leavitt, when she was pointing out that CNN's moderator for the debate, Jake Tapper, had repeatedly referred to Trump as Hitler.

00:00:56.000 Now, many people are pointing out this is exactly what we expect from CNN on Thursday.

00:01:01.000 And I have news to break for you tonight, right now, as we open this show.

00:01:07.000 I received a message from YouTube last week asking to hop on a phone call to discuss the RNC and the presidential cycle.

00:01:17.000 And I said, sure.

00:01:20.000 I briefly spoke with some individuals at YouTube earlier today who made it clear that CNN reached out and is expressing concern.

00:01:28.000 I don't know the full extent, but making it known that YouTube better Contact their news programs over the CNN debate.

00:01:37.000 Now, of course, like all presidential debates, which is the epitome of civic responsibility, of civic participation, we will provide live commentary and fact-checking on this presidential debate, as we have done for every other, so long as this show has been around.

00:01:58.000 In a show of good faith, YouTube asked me to reach out to CNN to see if there was anything they would be looking for in this regard, because apparently they are asking other networks who are doing the exact same thing to abide by certain restrictions.

00:02:15.000 And I said, OK, I'll reach out.

00:02:17.000 To which the immediate response was something along the lines of, confirming we will not allow anyone on YouTube to use this outside of, you know, CNN granting certain platforms.

00:02:27.000 Basically saying, you can't do this.

00:02:30.000 And my response immediately was, commentary on presidential debates is the epitome of fair use.

00:02:36.000 Hope that helps.

00:02:37.000 This Thursday will be particularly interesting.

00:02:39.000 I think that news is big.

00:02:41.000 I can't really put that succinctly in 80 characters for a YouTube headline, but this is massive.

00:02:47.000 That CNN is pulling this move.

00:02:49.000 We saw something similar that Fox News had done.

00:02:52.000 Fox had filed several takedowns on various shows, including ours, but they abandoned their copyright claims because this is unquestionably fair use.

00:03:04.000 We have two people running for the president of this country, one of them the current president, and we're going to fact check, and we're going to comment, and we are going to call them out in real time.

00:03:15.000 If we can't do that, if no one else can, then that's severely limiting civic participation, and it's allowing a biased network that in the past has likened Trump to Hitler to control who can and cannot fact-check this man.

00:03:31.000 And as we know with special rules for this debate, They are seeking to control that narrative, and I believe that is exactly why they reached out to YouTube and why YouTube reached out to me, because they don't want anyone to break their narrative.

00:03:43.000 That's the dirty game they're playing.

00:03:45.000 It's going to be a fun Thursday.

00:03:46.000 But in the meantime, we'll talk about the news that we have now, which is Julian Assange.

00:03:50.000 Massive news, and I'm really excited to get into this with you guys.

00:03:53.000 And then we have Russia Threatening retaliation over what they are calling U.S.

00:03:58.000 strikes on Crimea.

00:04:00.000 The U.S.

00:04:00.000 is saying, hey, we don't have nothing to do with it.

00:04:01.000 That's Ukraine.

00:04:02.000 But you think Russia cares?

00:04:03.000 So, all right.

00:04:04.000 Now that we've gotten all that big news out of the way, head over to castbrew.com.

00:05:55.000 Hello!

00:05:56.000 So fun to be here!

00:05:57.000 Who are you?

00:05:58.000 What do you do?

00:05:58.000 I'm a reporter.

00:05:59.000 I write for the Daily Signal.

00:06:00.000 I also just wrote a book on transgender issues, detransitioners, so people who tried to become another gender and then ultimately realized that's impossible and went back to living as their biological sex. 0.95

00:06:11.000 So I spent a lot of time writing about culture issues, transgender issues, abortion, marriage, family.

00:06:16.000 Gender, life, all of that good stuff.

00:06:19.000 And I'm on the ground a lot.

00:06:20.000 I go to a lot of protests.

00:06:22.000 I have gone to a lot of pro-transgender protests, abortion protests.

00:06:26.000 During Roe v. Wade, I lived at the Supreme Court.

00:06:28.000 I do a lot of man-on-the-street interviews where I like to show people what these people at the D.C.

00:06:33.000 protests actually believe, what they actually think.

00:06:36.000 I think we're always surprised by how radical these people are.

00:06:39.000 They are not representative of the American public.

00:06:41.000 So I like to get out there and show people that.

00:06:43.000 Right on.

00:06:44.000 I think it's really fun, too.

00:06:46.000 I mean, I have a hard time at the Women's March now.

00:06:48.000 They know who I am, so they won't talk to me anymore.

00:06:51.000 Eventually that happens.

00:06:52.000 All right, well, it should be fun.

00:06:53.000 Thanks for hanging out.

00:06:53.000 Phil's hanging out.

00:06:54.000 Hello, everybody.

00:06:55.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:06:56.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains.

00:06:58.000 I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary.

00:07:00.000 How you doing there, Hannah-Claire?

00:07:01.000 I'm good.

00:07:01.000 I'm happy to be back.

00:07:02.000 Hope you guys had a good weekend.

00:07:04.000 I'm Hannah-Claire Brimel.

00:07:04.000 I'm a writer for SCNR.com.

00:07:06.000 SCNR.com.

00:07:07.000 I don't know if I said all those letters.

00:07:09.000 You can find us at TimCastNewsOnTheInternet.

00:07:10.000 Hi, Serge!

00:07:11.000 Yo, let's get started.

00:07:12.000 Here we go.

00:07:13.000 Here's the first story to kick off this political week from Newsweek.

00:07:18.000 CNN cuts off interview with Trump press secretary for trashing debate moderator.

00:07:23.000 Now, I chose this Newsweek on a purpose so I can do this in real time for you.

00:07:27.000 I'm going to scroll down to the bottom of Newsweek's articles, and I can respect that they do this.

00:07:32.000 And, you know, at the bottom of their articles they have this little thing.

00:07:35.000 Click on this meter to rate this article.

00:07:37.000 I'm going to go ahead and say, uh, unfair left-leaning and confirm my selection.

00:07:42.000 And I'm going to tell you why.

00:07:44.000 They say most readers rated the center fair.

00:07:47.000 Wrong! 0.86

00:07:48.000 Carolyn Leavitt did not trash Jake Tapper at all.

00:07:52.000 And she even tried to move on before her mic got cut off and she got kicked off the show by a flustered Cassie Hunt. 1.00

00:08:00.000 It's not trashing Jake Tapper to point out, you can Google search this and see him referring to Donald Trump as Hitler.

00:08:07.000 That's not an insult, that's a thing he did.

00:08:09.000 For Newsweek to claim it's trashing, it sounds like she went on there and insulted him, which she did not do.

00:08:15.000 I think they have the clip here, but there's probably a better clip.

00:08:18.000 We'll play this for you guys, you can hear it for yourself.

00:08:20.000 It would take someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump, to see that Jake Tapper has consistently... Ma'am, we're going to stop this interview if you're going to keep attacking my colleagues.

00:08:28.000 Ma'am, I'm going to stop this interview if you continue to attack my colleagues.

00:08:32.000 I would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for.

00:08:36.000 If you are here to speak on his behalf, I am willing to have this conversation.

00:08:41.000 I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past.

00:08:44.000 Now, I'm sorry, guys.

00:08:45.000 We're going to come back out to the panel.

00:08:46.000 Caroline, thank you very much for your time.

00:08:48.000 You are welcome to come back at any point.

00:08:50.000 She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump.

00:08:54.000 And Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now at next, early, later.

00:09:00.000 You hear how flustered she is? 0.65

00:09:01.000 So flustered.

00:09:02.000 No, you know what it is?

00:09:03.000 It's the guy, producer in her ear, yelling at her because they don't want their audience to know That Jake Tapper has referred to Trump as Hitler and is not going to be moderating a debate.

00:09:13.000 Patsy Hunt herself celebrated the attack on Senator Paul Rand Paul.

00:09:20.000 She said that it was one of her favorite stories.

00:09:23.000 I had the tweet up. She said that it was one of her favorite stories. The audacity of this woman 1.00

00:09:31.000 to behave as if she is not biased.

00:09:35.000 And again, celebrating a violent attack on a sitting senator.

00:09:39.000 Why is she even on the air? 0.52

00:09:42.000 The idea that this is something that's acceptable, considering Senator Paul was also attacked at the congressional baseball game when Steve Scalise was shot.

00:09:52.000 They ignore this?

00:09:54.000 They ignore all the violence they inspire.

00:09:57.000 She was sitting there doing the hands-up-don't-shoot when that didn't happen, endorsing that lie.

00:10:04.000 This is egregious, and honestly, the FCC should do something about it.

00:10:08.000 Well, she's obviously extreme in a lot of her beliefs, but part of me wants to be like, so what is it?

00:10:13.000 Not that I think the government's going to do anything.

00:10:16.000 We're so far past the FCC as a viable entity that does anything.

00:10:20.000 No.

00:10:21.000 With the Internet, the game has changed.

00:10:24.000 And this ultimately makes Trump's spokesperson look better, right?

00:10:28.000 She stays calm.

00:10:28.000 She watched this woman get really flustered to kick her off air and say, you can't insult my colleagues over something that it's literally you saying.

00:10:34.000 You could Google search this and find out.

00:10:35.000 And I want to go back to the point of, like, which is it, leftists, right?

00:10:39.000 Like, is Trump Hitler?

00:10:41.000 And it's OK to say that.

00:10:42.000 Why wouldn't you be cheering him on?

00:10:43.000 Or is he not because now you can't say that and you're mad at someone referring to it?

00:10:48.000 At which point, wouldn't the network need to address this employee who has said this in the past?

00:10:53.000 It's really whatever is coming out of anyone who supports Trump's mouth is bad in any way that we think we can show that we have power over them.

00:10:59.000 I understand what you're saying, but I think the fact that we can go back to, you know, prior to Trump, to the hands up, don't shoot stuff.

00:11:07.000 That was, I think it was 2013, right?

00:11:11.000 She was endorsing violence and endorsing riots and endorsing lies long before Donald Trump ever came onto the scene.

00:11:18.000 I just assume that's how you get promoted at CNN.

00:11:22.000 But there's also this laughable pretense at unbiased journalism when I'm 99% sure that host's background on Twitter is her and Biden.

00:11:30.000 Like literally earlier today- Yeah, I think you're correct.

00:11:32.000 They're holding hands or something.

00:11:34.000 Oh, gross.

00:11:35.000 That's so weird. 0.89

00:11:36.000 It's just so sickening.

00:11:39.000 They're literally holding hands. 0.67

00:11:39.000 Look at this! 0.67

00:11:41.000 She was there to speak on behalf of her boss.

00:11:44.000 Unbelievable.

00:11:46.000 If it wasn't so just absolutely indefensible, it would be comical.

00:11:52.000 Look what she wrote on Twitter. 1.00

00:11:55.000 You come on my show, you respect my colleagues, period.

00:11:58.000 I don't care what side of the aisle you stand on, as my track record clearly shows.

00:12:02.000 You have a record of your picture of Joe Biden on your profile?

00:12:05.000 To deserve respect, one must be respectable, and you're not!

00:12:10.000 Also, she wasn't insulting her.

00:12:11.000 She's saying, hey, your colleague said something controversial.

00:12:15.000 Yeah, but she tried to—Carolyn Leavitt tried to move on from this. 1.00

00:12:17.000 She said, I was just stating a thing your staff has said.

00:12:21.000 Now, anyway—and she's like, nope, shut her down. 0.98

00:12:23.000 I bet—what people need to understand about all of these cable hosts is they've got an earpiece in.

00:12:30.000 And they'll be talking, and then the earpiece guy will be like, start talking about this, that, and otherwise.

00:12:34.000 And they go, okay.

00:12:35.000 She gets really flustered, and she's like, when we see the debate now, this Thursday, she doesn't, she's lost.

00:12:42.000 She's getting yelled at in her earpiece, and they're like, get her off now! 0.72

00:12:46.000 She was also obviously scared of the Trump spokeswoman, right?

00:12:50.000 Yeah.

00:12:51.000 Like she is so scared that she's going to say anything at all.

00:12:53.000 She is looking for a reason to end the interview. 0.98

00:12:56.000 I bet they had to convince her to do this because she is actually not able to defend any of her position. 1.00

00:13:01.000 She's not rational.

00:13:02.000 And so therefore it's all emotion.

00:13:03.000 And those producers call all the shots anyways, so it's not like she's the one that's coming up with her show.

00:13:08.000 She's very much at their mercy for this.

00:13:10.000 I agree with you that the producers do call the shots, but I think she walks in lockstep with them.

00:13:15.000 So even if they weren't telling her what to say, she would be saying similar things.

00:13:20.000 She doesn't have some kind of outsider opinion and she's only doing this because CNN says she is a swamp monster and the swamp flows through her veins. 1.00

00:13:30.000 Let's stretch that a little bit further than from where you're at.

00:13:33.000 So it's, you're right, but you don't go far enough, Phil.

00:13:35.000 Fair enough.

00:13:36.000 Get her! 1.00

00:13:37.000 I believe they're actually holding her back.

00:13:40.000 I believe that her producers, in this instance, were like, no, no, don't let them talk bad about our staff.

00:13:45.000 I'm willing to bet that on her show, she's just like, you know that meme where the dude's in the classroom and he's like at the vein bulging in his forehead?

00:13:53.000 That's her with trying to praise Joe Biden and the guy in her earpiece going, Cassie, don't do it.

00:13:58.000 Don't do it.

00:14:00.000 Don't don't.

00:14:01.000 Okay, good.

00:14:02.000 I mean, like, just like, just like, you know, the header on her, her own Twitter.

00:14:06.000 It's a picture of her shaking Joe Biden's hand!

00:14:08.000 It's literally endorsing a president and we're supposed to take you seriously?

00:14:13.000 This is laughable. 1.00

00:14:14.000 You're a clown. 1.00

00:14:15.000 She is a credible, non-biased news source, obviously. 0.99

00:14:18.000 But what are we going to expect with the debate now?

00:14:20.000 Does anybody really expect?

00:14:22.000 We got a super chat already from someone, no audience, mics are cut off. 0.99

00:14:26.000 It's going to be edited.

00:14:27.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:14:28.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:14:29.000 They're going to do the debate, we're going to assume it's live, Trump's going to assume it's live, and then they're going to wait an hour and then put it up with cuts.

00:14:37.000 Right.

00:14:37.000 I don't mean that literally, I'm being facetious, but you get my point.

00:14:40.000 And they can cut him off whenever they want, which is... I mean, we already knew they were going to do that.

00:14:45.000 I saw Steve Bannon saying earlier today that Trump should not agree to do the debate now unless CNN apologizes, but Caroline was saying on Twitter they're going to do it anyways, or X.

00:14:54.000 I think it's funny, too, because now it's like, are the CNN moderators going to be like, hey, you're not allowed to talk badly about things, so somebody cut the cameras!

00:15:01.000 Of course they are!

00:15:02.000 If he's uncharitable, do we cut the mics?

00:15:04.000 100%!

00:15:04.000 Also, like, grow up!

00:15:06.000 Like, you go say to your colleague, like, I tried to defend you the best I could.

00:15:09.000 No, you just had, like, a hissy fit on air and made it obvious that you can't do your own job.

00:15:15.000 She wasn't actually making, like, she wasn't saying horrible things about Tapper.

00:15:19.000 She was saying what he had said.

00:15:21.000 Yeah.

00:15:21.000 Which I think is also, like, that's just factual.

00:15:23.000 She's just saying facts.

00:15:25.000 Here's what I think.

00:15:26.000 When they got rid of Jeff Zucker, okay, he's this reality TV guy.

00:15:30.000 He was the Apprentice guy, wasn't he?

00:15:31.000 Like, isn't he the guy behind Apprentice?

00:15:33.000 I wouldn't know.

00:15:33.000 Jeff Zucker?

00:15:34.000 Look that up for me.

00:15:35.000 I'm pretty sure.

00:15:36.000 So, he turned CNN into reality TV, WWE, news. 1.00

00:15:41.000 It's like, just garbage. 0.99

00:15:43.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:15:44.000 They're trying desperately to get away from that.

00:15:47.000 And so I think they're trying to, like, the reason they booted her is because they're like, no, no, no, no, no, don't let her say that we did that because we did.

00:15:55.000 And we're terrified of what people are going to think.

00:15:57.000 You know what their key demo was last Friday?

00:16:01.000 Their key demo ratings.

00:16:02.000 Let's let's play this game.

00:16:02.000 Don't say anything.

00:16:03.000 How many viewers do you think CNN got last Friday?

00:16:05.000 Prime time.

00:16:05.000 How many viewers do you think CNN got last Friday, prime time?

00:16:10.000 Prime time, key demo?

00:16:11.000 I don't know.

00:16:12.000 What's your guess?

00:16:14.000 I don't pay attention to their numbers normally.

00:16:16.000 Well just like what do you think like?

00:16:18.000 30,000 people.

00:16:20.000 That's it.

00:16:22.000 Well it's a little low.

00:16:23.000 Never in life.

00:16:24.000 So I mean most people like Big Bang Theory they say gets like 20 million viewers.

00:16:27.000 Yeah.

00:16:27.000 So what would CNN, the most trusted name in news, be getting in their key demographic?

00:16:33.000 I think at 9 p.m.

00:16:34.000 they got 49,000.

00:16:37.000 Dude, I could make a video.

00:16:38.000 You're close.

00:16:40.000 To be fair, we talk about this sometimes.

00:16:43.000 Guys, I need you to understand how crazy this is.

00:16:45.000 That CNN only got 59,000 in the key demo last week.

00:16:49.000 On Friday.

00:16:50.000 So Friday's a little bit lower.

00:16:52.000 But even earlier in the day, like 5 p.m., which 5 p.m.

00:16:54.000 Friday is not a bad time.

00:16:55.000 It's actually a good time because people are at home.

00:16:57.000 They put on the news.

00:16:59.000 It was like 70.

00:17:01.000 Okay, to put that into frame or whatever the word is, I'm going to go into my Instagram, and I'm going to look up a picture I posted of a cat.

00:17:13.000 And where is my cat video?

00:17:15.000 Where's my cat?

00:17:16.000 There it is.

00:17:17.000 And how many views does this have?

00:17:19.000 Okay, maybe I should just do this on the actual Alright, I posted a cat.

00:17:24.000 It's one of the funniest videos I've ever seen, so I reposted it.

00:17:28.000 And, uh, let's see how many views the cat has.

00:17:29.000 161,000.

00:17:30.000 Oh my gosh!

00:17:30.000 That's 161,000.

00:17:30.000 I'm gonna play.

00:17:31.000 No, no, no, I can't do it.

00:17:31.000 It's for tomorrow.

00:17:32.000 I'm gonna play. No, no, no, I can't do it. It's for tomorrow.

00:17:37.000 So I saw this meme and it's this cat with his eyes half closed and his mouth hanging open.

00:17:42.000 And it says, when you've already given your all and it's only Tuesday.

00:17:46.000 And it's singing this really sad song and the cat's just like zoned out and it's hilarious.

00:17:51.000 So I posted 161,000 views just on that.

00:17:54.000 Okay, now some people might be saying, that's not fair though.

00:17:57.000 Everybody loves sharing cat entertainment humor.

00:18:00.000 You can't compete with news on that.

00:18:02.000 Okay, dude, I can go onto my Instagram And look at tons of singular clips that have 64,000, 70,000, 24,000, 100,000.

00:18:10.000 Here's a clip.

00:18:11.000 It's just a picture of my face.

00:18:12.000 181,000.

00:18:12.000 CNN can't get that in the key demo.

00:18:14.000 me notes. 100,000. Here's a clip. It's just a picture of my face. 181,000. CNN can't get

00:18:23.000 that in the key demo. Now, to be fair, in the older age bracket, they're getting, I

00:18:30.000 think, 400,000. All right. Well, that's fair.

00:18:33.000 There's a lot of views, but that means CNN won't exist in 10 years.

00:18:38.000 That's it.

00:18:39.000 Maybe that's good though, right?

00:18:41.000 She is good.

00:18:41.000 Look, CNN, you've had a good run, but if your moderators are throwing people off because they can't handle somebody pointing out something one of their colleagues said in the past, I'm sorry.

00:18:50.000 You don't have a very tough, tough team here.

00:18:53.000 I've been paying attention to Kaitlyn Collins' show because I find it fascinating.

00:18:56.000 They brought her in to be the straight news nighttime show, and she has on a lot of these Culture Wars guests that I've written about.

00:19:03.000 So I'm like, okay, she's got a good guest.

00:19:06.000 She's not straight at all.

00:19:08.000 She's straight news, you know?

00:19:09.000 She's just very aggressive, very antagonistic.

00:19:11.000 I think J.D.

00:19:11.000 Vance has gone on, Ted Cruz has gone on, always attacking them.

00:19:14.000 Why?

00:19:15.000 Why do these people go on?

00:19:15.000 Dude, okay, I'm gonna say this right now.

00:19:18.000 I am...

00:19:19.000 J.D.

00:19:20.000 Vance, Matt Gaetz, I don't know about Matt, I don't know when the last time was, but J.D.

00:19:23.000 Vance, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, any one of these people.

00:19:26.000 Why are you going on CNN?

00:19:27.000 Their viewership is in the tens of thousands.

00:19:30.000 I'll tell you what, we'd love to have you on the show.

00:19:34.000 I will drive to D.C.

00:19:36.000 with my Instagram and get more views than that for you.

00:19:38.000 I don't understand.

00:19:39.000 Who are you trying to reach?

00:19:40.000 I think part of it is just, like, the people who are that devoutly watching, like, looking at CNN, there's sort of a value in getting in front of them, even though everyone there hates you.

00:19:50.000 Like, I remember when we had Marjorie Taylor Greene on, and we had people, you know, say afterwards, like, I never would have listened to you ever because I had just written you off, but, like, being exposed to you actually kind of— I gotta be fair.

00:20:00.000 I understand, you know, J.D.

00:20:01.000 Vance and Marjorie are trying to reach older voters.

00:20:05.000 And so if you're trying to reach the 65-plus age group, And I mean this seriously, CNN is one of the places you will go to do it, and so would MSNBC and Fox News.

00:20:14.000 And that is a very powerful voting bloc, more so than younger people.

00:20:18.000 So it actually does make sense.

00:20:19.000 Yeah, like Kevin Roberts went on MSNBC, the president of the Heritage Foundation, over the weekend to talk about Project 2025.

00:20:24.000 I feel like he got in front of so many eyes that would never have even known who he was.

00:20:29.000 And that's definitely valuable.

00:20:30.000 And there's a value, especially with Project 2025, with this thing that the left-wing media is treating like the boogeyman, right?

00:20:35.000 That was really interesting because when they were talking about an illegal alien who murdered a child, they got offended that one of the other guests referred to the murderer as an illegal alien.

00:20:46.000 They're like, we don't say that here.

00:20:47.000 And that's what people need to see.

00:20:49.000 Yeah.

00:20:50.000 And he said, no, they're illegal aliens.

00:20:53.000 That's a legal term!

00:20:54.000 He wasn't insulting the person, he was like, they're illegal aliens, what do you mean?

00:20:57.000 Let's do this, let's advance to, I talked about this a bit in the opening, but I want to show you this tweet from me.

00:21:02.000 This is breaking news.

00:21:04.000 I was hoping someone else had written about it before, but I tweeted this.

00:21:07.000 CNN is now threatening any social channels that provide commentary on the debate, stating they will not allow the use outside of CNN.

00:21:14.000 I said, commentary on a presidential debate is the epitome of fair use, and we fully intend to provide insight and real-time fact-checking Thursday, live.

00:21:22.000 So, I'll recap the story for you guys that missed it.

00:21:26.000 Last week, I received a message from YouTube, from a YouTube representative, saying they would like to speak with me on the phone about upcoming election season, to which I said, of course, we set a meeting.

00:21:37.000 Earlier today, I had the phone call in which they said, In a manner of speaking, I'll paraphrase that CNN had reached out to them because they know

00:21:47.000 What, do you have tens of thousands of YouTube channels that do fact-checking and commentary on presidential debates?

00:21:54.000 One of the issues, they said, is that this is not a commission on presidential debates debate.

00:21:59.000 It is a CNN copyrighted event, or something to that effect, and they're requesting everybody reach out to them if they're going to, you know, like rebroadcast or something.

00:22:10.000 And I said, sure.

00:22:12.000 And I was like, I can provide CNN that courtesy.

00:22:14.000 I know Fox News will be simulcasting the debate.

00:22:18.000 And however, I don't consider what we're doing going, it's not going to be a simulcast or a rebroadcast.

00:22:23.000 It is going to be direct fact checking and commentary on the statements made by the President of the United States and the frontrunner for the 2024 election, which I believe is the epitome of fair use.

00:22:33.000 So, but in a sign of good faith and goodwill, I reached out to the representative at CNN, to which YouTube connected me, and I said, hey, here's what we're going to be doing.

00:22:43.000 This is how we're going to do it.

00:22:44.000 Thank you.

00:22:44.000 And the response was something, you know, again, paraphrasing, but it was like, confirming we are not allowing YouTubers to rebroadcast only certain, you know, websites and our digital outlets will be allowed, blah, blah, blah.

00:22:56.000 To which I responded, commentary and fact-checking on presidential debates is the epitome of fair use, and we will do this.

00:23:04.000 Hope that helps.

00:23:05.000 You know, my attitude was kind of like, hey, let's make sure they understand what we're doing beforehand.

00:23:10.000 They have no legal leg to stand on.

00:23:13.000 But this is really interesting.

00:23:14.000 Now, I did put up a tweet for Elon Musk.

00:23:17.000 Not that I expect him to answer in the immediate, but you know, Elon is... We're on the show for a couple hours, Elon.

00:23:22.000 You know, if you want to give a live update, it'd be cool.

00:23:24.000 On X, Elon answers.

00:23:26.000 He really does.

00:23:27.000 He's very attentive to his customers, which are humans and not the advertisers, for the most part, which I respect.

00:23:33.000 And I said, question for Elon Musk, will live commentary and fact-checking shows for the CNN debate be taken down if CNN files a DMCA or will X default to fair use and have the matter handled externally?

00:23:45.000 We plan to simulcast.

00:23:47.000 So here's how it works.

00:23:49.000 On YouTube, if you, I'll put it this way, We commented live, and it's a bit of insult, but that's commentary too, the Republican presidential debates.

00:24:00.000 We made fun of many of these people.

00:24:01.000 We praised many of these people.

00:24:02.000 We fact-checked them in real time.

00:24:04.000 After the show had ended, I think it was a couple weeks later, Fox had filed, I believe it was Fox, right?

00:24:09.000 It was Fox that announced they were going to be stopping this, takedowns.

00:24:13.000 On numerous videos.

00:24:15.000 And I know David Pakman had gotten hit.

00:24:17.000 We did.

00:24:18.000 And we immediately countered.

00:24:20.000 So the show, it goes down for a copyright and instantly goes back up.

00:24:24.000 And I said, this is fair use unquestionably.

00:24:28.000 Fox dropped their claim.

00:24:29.000 No question.

00:24:32.000 You're not going to make the argument that you can have presidential candidates talking about how they will affect the lives of 330 plus million people.

00:24:40.000 And I can't tell those people they're wrong.

00:24:42.000 That's insane.

00:24:43.000 The issue with a live show is, YouTube defaults to taking the show down.

00:24:48.000 And if a live stream is ended, it is gone.

00:24:51.000 It's in the middle of a live broadcast.

00:24:51.000 That's it.

00:24:54.000 So I'm wondering how Axl will handle this, because we intend to simulcast for this reason, because this is fair use, but we will likely be attacked by these big networks.

00:25:03.000 Now, to the bulk of the story, which is the reason why they're doing this, I don't believe this is a money play.

00:25:10.000 Apparently, I don't know if this is true, CNN is not charging money to the other networks that are distributing, in whatever way they are, I don't know which ways, the debate with Trump and Biden.

00:25:21.000 If that's the case, it's a marketing play, I suppose?

00:25:24.000 But then why provide rules to other networks, and why deny YouTubers the right to comment?

00:25:32.000 Or, they don't have the ability to deny that right, but why attempt to attack anybody who would?

00:25:37.000 I think this is part of their CNN's pro-Democrat play.

00:25:43.000 And of course, they're probably going to go after pro-Democrat personalities, don't get me wrong, but they want to instruct and control the narrative.

00:25:50.000 They're going to shut off Trump's mic.

00:25:52.000 They've already, we saw that this morning, Cassie cutting off the mic of Trump's press secretary. 0.99

00:25:57.000 And the last thing they want is for other channels to watch the debate and say Biden is wrong.

00:26:05.000 So this is why they're doing it outside of the Commission on Presidential Debates, because they're going to try and use every legal move they can to stop us from fact-checking this and calling out Joe Biden.

00:26:18.000 I mean, I think I could understand where there has to be a question of copyright.

00:26:22.000 I think it's fair that you reached out to CNN per the request, but it does seem like ultimately this is about trying to retain viewers.

00:26:30.000 You know, typically all of these presidential debates are not – they are a chance to have a spike in viewership that they don't typically have, and fewer people are watching these events.

00:26:42.000 And I think it's because of alternative platforms like YouTube, Rumble, X, where you can get better perspective than, you know, whoever MSNBC has on,

00:26:51.000 let's say.

00:26:53.000 And I wonder what—so I don't remember who's hosting the second debate in September.

00:27:01.000 There already is a second debate?

00:27:02.000 Yeah, there's two scheduled.

00:27:03.000 Typically, there are three presidential debates.

00:27:05.000 Well, yeah, but those are the commissioned presidential debates.

00:27:07.000 Right.

00:27:07.000 And so Biden said, we'll do two.

00:27:09.000 And so it was like, that was when I was like, because you're tired already.

00:27:13.000 But you're tired thinking about it.

00:27:15.000 So there should be one in September.

00:27:16.000 I don't remember if there's a which network is hosting, but there is a level for Trump of like, let's just get the CNN one out of the way, right?

00:27:23.000 Like he is better in debate anyways.

00:27:26.000 And the campaign is going in knowing that maybe the mainstream platform that that dislikes them more is first, knowing that a lot of their

00:27:35.000 support is online, really.

00:27:36.000 It could be both though, right? Like there's this attempt to retain viewers, but also this attempt to

00:27:42.000 shut down alternative viewpoints.

00:27:44.000 Their competition.

00:27:45.000 Yeah. Well, and even more than competition, you know, I think some of the most popular YouTubers

00:27:52.000 are going to be talking about this in ways that CNN wouldn't want.

00:27:56.000 Yeah, I don't get the sense that this is about viewership so much as it's about controlling narrative.

00:28:02.000 I really don't think that CNN has as much concern with viewership as they do with access.

00:28:09.000 Because if they have access to the presidency, if they have access to the administration, if they have access to the bureaucracy, money doesn't matter.

00:28:18.000 How much do you want to bet the Democrats reached out to CNN and said, we will do the CNN debate outside of the commission, but we expect you to control copyright?

00:28:25.000 There's zero surprise.

00:28:27.000 They absolutely had a whole list of rules like that.

00:28:29.000 Well, we even know they did, right?

00:28:30.000 With the rules for how Biden would go about it and what would be allowed and what wouldn't.

00:28:37.000 I really do want to focus on the access part.

00:28:40.000 This isn't about whether or not CNN is going to have the viewership that alternative sources would have or their competition would.

00:28:51.000 This is about making sure that the narrative that gets to the normies the independent voters, the people that are undecided.

00:29:00.000 This is about making sure that the narrative that they hear is the one that CNN wants.

00:29:04.000 We saw already, Snopes just came out recently talking about how the Verifying People hoax was actually a hoax.

00:29:10.000 If you go to Snopes now, it says that it was a hoax. And they're listing it as false.

00:29:15.000 Now, this is a big deal, and the administration knows it.

00:29:19.000 The people that are in positions of power that do control the narrative, or have a strong desire to control the narrative that the average normie hears, they are extremely motivated, not monetarily, but definitely by power and access, to continue to support the narrative that is set forth by the administration.

00:29:37.000 Right, and the administration, I mean we saw this from Axios last week, they consider this election to be on a viral battlefield, right?

00:29:43.000 Because of all these videos of Biden having gaffes and somewhere around it looking old.

00:29:47.000 I think ultimately the big fear of the Biden-Harris campaign and therefore the DNC is that alternative media will immediately clip any sort of gaffe and get it out faster.

00:29:56.000 So if we're allowed to rebroadcast it, it means that it basically continues this idea that like It's actually Trump supporters who are able to make things go viral and not the Democrats.

00:30:08.000 And so therefore, having it rebroadcast, it makes it that much more likely that any issue Biden had gets there faster.

00:30:14.000 If you're not allowed to broadcast it, you have to wait for them to release it in some way, then probably they would not.

00:30:20.000 They wouldn't release anything that was unflattering to Biden, or at least they would hold it for as long as possible.

00:30:25.000 What Fox did last time was different, right?

00:30:28.000 Because I remember, you know, in terms of sharing clips of the debate, we were having concerns about doing that from a media perspective.

00:30:35.000 Fox's situation was different, right?

00:30:37.000 Well, Fox had said something like, you are not allowed to rebroadcast or whatever, but there's a big difference between—this is what they do, right?

00:30:47.000 They're going to say, you better not rebroadcast, and it's like, don't worry, we won't.

00:30:51.000 We're fact-checking and commenting, which is fair use.

00:30:53.000 So thank you and have a nice day.

00:30:55.000 It's wholly transformative.

00:30:57.000 It's public commentary.

00:30:58.000 It's public participation.

00:31:01.000 That's why Fox backed down in the end.

00:31:04.000 If somebody launches a YouTube stream which just clones CNN's broadcast without any commentary or anything, fine.

00:31:12.000 I mean, that's just taking their stream. 0.73

00:31:15.000 I respect that.

00:31:16.000 But what they're trying to do is prevent people from calling out politicians by trying to associate the two as being the same.

00:31:25.000 Oh, you're rebroadcasting?

00:31:26.000 No, we're providing commentary and criticism.

00:31:28.000 Outright fact-checking.

00:31:32.000 I guarantee you, they're not going to fact-check Biden on that stage.

00:31:37.000 If Donald Trump says, Joe Biden cut a deal with the President of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor in exchange for a billion dollars in loan guarantees, it just so happened that that prosecutor was investigating a company where his son worked, they're going to say, cut his mic.

00:31:52.000 We're going to say, here's the video proving it.

00:31:55.000 I already have images of Trump literally just like us watching while he says things with no audio.

00:32:00.000 I feel like that's going to be half of the debate.

00:32:02.000 Yeah, I mean, they're going to be cutting him off.

00:32:04.000 They're going to be doing, I mean, they're going to do the same thing that they did to, I believe they did it to Romney where they were saying that no, I forget who it was that made the remark, but it was during one of the debates and they were You know, counteracting what Romney said.

00:32:18.000 And they were wrong.

00:32:20.000 CNN was incorrect.

00:32:22.000 They said, no, this is not true.

00:32:24.000 Something about what Romney said.

00:32:25.000 I wish that I remember the specifics.

00:32:27.000 But they do this.

00:32:28.000 This is the norm nowadays.

00:32:29.000 And it's been normal for 15 years now.

00:32:32.000 Since Barack Obama.

00:32:34.000 Right? 0.98

00:32:35.000 The idea that this is something that's out of the ordinary anymore, that's a ridiculous idea.

00:32:40.000 The idea that there is a legacy media outlet that has any interest in providing actual, factual information, that has gone out the window and went out the window over a decade ago.

00:32:53.000 Let's jump to this article from Snopes.

00:32:56.000 Ladies and gentlemen.

00:32:58.000 Snope's headline, No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists Very Fine People, published June 20th, 2024.

00:33:06.000 Media matters most affected.

00:33:12.000 Literally.

00:33:13.000 Yes, literally.

00:33:14.000 About something that happened in 2017.

00:33:16.000 And the media matters, some of the media matters, some of the alumni from the media matters were out in force claiming that Donald Trump did.

00:33:25.000 No, Snopes, you're wrong, that he was there, blah blah blah.

00:33:28.000 If that's the case, you're on the side of commies and you're responsible for the hundred million dead. 0.69

00:33:34.000 We gotta show this, we gotta show this.

00:33:35.000 Okay, so it says on August 15th, 2017, Good seven years ago!

00:33:40.000 There's some seven-year-old kid who's like, you know, let's be real, there's like a 14-year-old kid who is just now, like, starting to hear stuff on the news and he was like, I was playing with Play-Doh when this happened, like, and now it's being fact-checked, but let me read.

00:33:53.000 Then-President Donald Trump called neo-Nazis and white supremacists who attended the Charlottesville rally very fine people false.

00:34:00.000 In a news conference, After the rally protesting the planned removal of a Confederate statue, Trump did say they were very fine people on both sides, referring to the protesters and the counter-protesters.

00:34:09.000 He said in the same statement that he wasn't talking about neo-Nazis and white nationalists, who he said should be condemned totally.

00:34:16.000 Editor's note!

00:34:17.000 Oh boy.

00:34:18.000 Some readers have raised the objection that this fact check appears to assume Trump was correct in stating that there were very fine people on both sides of the Charlottesville incident.

00:34:26.000 That is not the case.

00:34:28.000 This fact check aimed to confirm what Trump actually said, not whether what he said was true or false.

00:34:33.000 Um, what?

00:34:35.000 For the record, virtually every source that covered the Unite the Right debacle concluded That it was conceived of, led by, and attended by white supremacists, and that therefore Trump was wrong.

00:34:47.000 This is an opinion statement.

00:34:49.000 This is the most nonsensical thing.

00:34:51.000 When Trump says there are very fine people on both sides, it's an opinion statement.

00:34:56.000 You can't be right or wrong.

00:34:58.000 I mean, like, you can have bad opinions, but the general—there is no true or false in the opinion statement.

00:35:04.000 It's, do you agree with Trump's assessment of fine or not?

00:35:08.000 Now the reality was Trump was correct.

00:35:11.000 There's like a video of a little old lady. 0.98

00:35:14.000 She's not a nasty person or a neo-nazi or anything like that.

00:35:17.000 She's just some little old lady who heard they were gonna tear down her statue and she didn't want it to happen. 0.99

00:35:20.000 There's a bunch of people like that.

00:35:22.000 They're very fine people.

00:35:23.000 That's it.

00:35:24.000 Now, the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, of course they're not.

00:35:26.000 They were there and they intended on violence just like, and not every single one, don't get me wrong, but many of them intended on violence and brought weapons for that matter.

00:35:34.000 I think there's a video of one guy shooting at another guy.

00:35:36.000 So, not a good thing in any respect, but it's like Trump gives opinion on people he saw.

00:35:41.000 He's wrong.

00:35:42.000 Well, he's not allowed to have opinions because all of his opinions are bad and wrong.

00:35:45.000 It's literally just if it is not useful for the narrative that the left wants to portray.

00:35:51.000 No, it's not.

00:35:52.000 And I think what's crazy is there's no need for that editor's note.

00:35:55.000 Snopes doesn't have the, like, cojones to just own their fact check.

00:36:00.000 Like, your fact check is just facts.

00:36:02.000 You shouldn't have to- It's them saying, hey, we don't like Donald Trump either.

00:36:05.000 We don't like him either.

00:36:06.000 We had to say this thing, but we're still on your side, guys.

00:36:09.000 That's the state of journalism now, where you can't even say, like, they report the facts and they're like, we're so sorry that we had to tell you this.

00:36:15.000 We're sorry the truth doesn't align with your attempts to manipulate.

00:36:21.000 But listen, the left doesn't use language in a way to communicate.

00:36:28.000 They use language to manipulate.

00:36:30.000 the point of language to the left. They don't. They believe that words contain

00:36:34.000 power and that to use words is to try to exercise power.

00:36:39.000 They don't believe that there is a that you can possibly have an honest

00:36:44.000 conversation. They don't believe that anyone can have a come to a disagreement from a

00:36:51.000 charitable I see how the right wants to frame things. 0.96

00:36:52.000 It is all about power, which is why the left is where the crazy people go. 0.96

00:36:57.000 The psychopaths go there because they are, because they welcome manipulative people. 0.91

00:37:02.000 They're so, everything is euphemism and you know, I'm a reporter, so I know like I get 0.71

00:37:06.000 all the oppo from the right, right?

00:37:08.000 I see how the right wants to frame things.

00:37:09.000 I know that on the left, when all this happens, like let's say like on the gender affirming

00:37:14.000 care note, the euphemism that they use for trans surgeries, hormones and puberty blockers,

00:37:18.000 I know they all get on press calls and they're told, don't say this, say this.

00:37:23.000 Which the right doesn't really do, actually.

00:37:24.000 The right is terrible at messaging.

00:37:26.000 I gotta tell you, I am outraged at Donald Trump over this.

00:37:28.000 I am furious.

00:37:31.000 I don't know if I can support the man.

00:37:32.000 The idea that he would refer to Antifa as very fine people is shocking, and it is shocking to the conscience of this country.

00:37:38.000 I'm kidding.

00:37:38.000 I will vote for Donald Trump.

00:37:39.000 But you get my point.

00:37:41.000 When Trump said there were very fine people on both sides, the media's reaction wasn't, oh, you called communists fine people?

00:37:47.000 Like, how could you, Trump?

00:37:48.000 No, they were like, Nazis. 0.88

00:37:50.000 It's like, well, there are communists there, too.

00:37:52.000 And like, I regard the communists and the Nazis very similarly as bad. 1.00

00:37:57.000 Same garbage. 1.00

00:37:58.000 Just as murderous, same garbage. 1.00

00:38:00.000 The commies get away with more murder because they actually wrap it up in a nice sounding package. 1.00

00:38:06.000 The Nazis sound bad. 0.65

00:38:07.000 Well, I think it's true.

00:38:09.000 I think another reason why commies get a free pass is because the commies actually helped us stop the Nazis.

00:38:17.000 They, you know...

00:38:18.000 They did the dying.

00:38:19.000 They did the dying.

00:38:20.000 We supplied the machines, they did the dying.

00:38:22.000 And you know what?

00:38:23.000 The Soviet strategy in World War II was literally the Zap Brannigan strategy of sending wave

00:38:28.000 after wave of your own men until you overload the kill counters on the kill bots.

00:38:31.000 That was the same strategy the Chinese used in the Korean War.

00:38:34.000 They just sent wave after wave after wave of Chinese people. 1.00

00:38:37.000 And the guys, some of the guys that were going after the Americans, they were going into

00:38:42.000 the field without weapons because they knew there were comrades that were dead and they

00:38:45.000 were told to pick up a rifle when you get to the front line.

00:38:50.000 There will be dead men, there will be ammo, there will be rifles.

00:38:53.000 They just kept sending wave after wave.

00:38:55.000 That's what communists do because they don't value life.

00:38:58.000 Because they don't believe that human beings are valuable.

00:39:02.000 They believe that human beings are cogs in a wheel.

00:39:04.000 There's an idea that Hegel came up with that history uses people and casts them aside so the deaths don't matter just so long as you're forwarding the The March of History.

00:39:18.000 They believe in a historicism.

00:39:21.000 They believe that there is a goal for humanity, which is the communist utopia.

00:39:25.000 And it doesn't matter how many people die if you get to the utopia, because they're going to die anyways.

00:39:30.000 It doesn't matter.

00:39:31.000 You're going to die anyways. 0.85

00:39:32.000 There's no God.

00:39:33.000 There's no afterlife.

00:39:34.000 You're just a cog.

00:39:35.000 You're just a step along the way to the perfected human civilization.

00:39:42.000 Is March of History the name of your new album?

00:39:45.000 No.

00:39:46.000 Stop it.

00:39:48.000 But it is actually something that is, it's something very positive, and I don't believe in it much.

00:39:52.000 I do think it's a very interesting point, though, and something you should keep in mind.

00:39:57.000 The media is never outraged at Antifa.

00:40:00.000 They are never... Chris Cuomo, I believe, defended violent protests.

00:40:04.000 Who says protests have to be peaceful?

00:40:06.000 And then that dude eating the ramen had that viral video where he's like, it's right there in the First Amendment.

00:40:11.000 Peacefully assembled.

00:40:13.000 But this is what the media does because, well, because the media is aligned with Antifa.

00:40:17.000 Yeah, and then when a pro-life grandma prays outside an abortion clinic and begs someone not to abort their baby, she goes to jail.

00:40:24.000 I can't even... I can barely stay seated when I hear that garbage. 1.00

00:40:30.000 That is insane. 1.00

00:40:31.000 The idea that you can't protest...

00:40:36.000 Because it is unpopular or the progressives find it distasteful.

00:40:43.000 It upsets them.

00:40:43.000 They don't like it when you do it.

00:40:45.000 They find it distasteful so you can't protest.

00:40:48.000 But it's perfectly fine for a leftist to say gas the Jews if they're talking about the Palestinian issue. 0.85

00:40:57.000 We're throwing rocks through storefronts during the summer of 2020, right?

00:41:01.000 Like, there are all kinds of things that are allowed by the media.

00:41:04.000 I mean, never forget, like, mostly peaceful protests, burning buildings in the background.

00:41:07.000 Iconic, right?

00:41:09.000 And the media was all like, no, we stand by that assessment of what's going on in major cities across the country.

00:41:14.000 They endorsed the attack on the White House.

00:41:17.000 They made fun of the president when the Secret Service said you have to get into the bunker.

00:41:21.000 They are totally anti-American.

00:41:26.000 They don't like our government system.

00:41:28.000 You listen to the left, they want to get rid of the Supreme Court or expand it because they don't like the results they get.

00:41:33.000 They want to get rid of the Senate because they don't like the results that they get.

00:41:36.000 They want to get rid of the Electoral College because they don't like the results they get.

00:41:40.000 The whole point, the whole agenda of the left places zero value on any of our founding principles and it is purely about acquiring and exercising power.

00:41:51.000 That's it.

00:41:52.000 When Roe was being overturned two years ago, actually, today is the anniversary that Roe was overturned, I was going to these protests at the justices' houses, which there's literally a law that says you cannot protest in front of the home of a justice with an intent to influence or intimidate that justice.

00:42:07.000 It's literally a federal law.

00:42:09.000 And yet they let them do this even the day after They arrested that attempted assassination, or the guy that wanted to assassinate Kavanaugh, and it was still going on the same day.

00:42:21.000 Well, and has, like, Jane's Revenge or any of those organizations that were involved in, like, doxing the locations of the justices, have they ever faced any kind of consequence for it?

00:42:28.000 No, I literally talked to the U.S.

00:42:29.000 Marshals.

00:42:30.000 I went in, like, January.

00:42:31.000 They'd been protesting for, like, six months.

00:42:32.000 It was freezing cold rain.

00:42:33.000 And I asked the U.S.

00:42:35.000 Marshals, why aren't you arresting them?

00:42:37.000 There's literally a law.

00:42:38.000 And they told me that DOJ had told them not to.

00:42:40.000 Listen to the list of things that we have just come up with off the top of our heads that the media has endorsed that are illegal.

00:42:49.000 Like, straight up, the media supporting illegal activity, up to and including, and granted, the VP is not in the media, but the VP was getting donations to bail out people that were violating property rights and that were destroying things, and arsonists.

00:43:06.000 The idea of the rule of law has gone out the window.

00:43:10.000 It is imaginary.

00:43:11.000 But they're the ones saying, I mean, I just wrote something about this today, but Maxine Water was like, Alluding to all the violence that would happen if Trump is reelected.

00:43:20.000 They're saying, no, no, it's them, it's them, it's them, even though it's actually them.

00:43:23.000 When Maxine Waters was straight up the one that said, don't let them alone, go after them.

00:43:28.000 She literally said that.

00:43:30.000 We're going to go from the street level straight up to the highest level of political backroom deals.

00:43:35.000 We have this from NBC News.

00:43:37.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this is major breaking news.

00:43:41.000 This is historic.

00:43:42.000 Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S.

00:43:46.000 allowing him to go free.

00:43:47.000 The WikiLeaks founder has been held in a prison outside of London for the last five years and fought extradition to the United States.

00:43:54.000 He's expected to return to Australia.

00:43:55.000 I don't want to waste time.

00:43:57.000 I believe the Biden administration has reached a deal with him, terrified that if Donald Trump becomes president and Julian Assange is still stuck at the behest of the U.S., Trump will get leverage through WikiLeaks information against U.S.

00:44:11.000 intelligence and the Biden administration and other Democrats.

00:44:14.000 That is to say, there's a long story here, but Julian Assange has access to information which is very damaging to the establishment political class in this country, which is Democrats and Republicans, and Donald Trump has been trying to get it.

00:44:28.000 He tried to get it in his first term and he couldn't.

00:44:30.000 I believe the Biden DOJ cut a deal with Assange so that Trump would not be able to in the event Democrats actually end up losing in November.

00:44:39.000 Let's read.

00:44:40.000 NBC says, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a plea deal with the U.S.

00:44:48.000 DOJ that will allow him to go free.

00:44:51.000 Assange was charged by criminal information, which typically signifies a plea deal, with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the documents say.

00:45:01.000 A letter from DOJ official Matthew McKenzie to U.S.

00:45:03.000 Judge Ramona Manglona of the U.S.

00:45:07.000 District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands said that Assange would appear in court at 9 a.m.

00:45:10.000 local time on Wednesday to plead guilty and said that the DOJ expects Assange will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.

00:45:20.000 U.S.

00:45:20.000 charges against Assange stem from one of the largest publications of classified information in American history, which took place during the term of Barack Obama starting in late 2009, according to the government.

00:45:30.000 Assange conspired with Chelsea Manning, a military intelligence analyst, to disclose tens of thousands of activity reports about the war in Afghanistan, hundreds of thousands of reports about the war in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of State Department cables, and assessment briefs of Guantanamo Bay detainees using his WikiLeaks website.

00:45:47.000 Now, I don't believe the U.S.

00:45:48.000 government, but let me go to the beginning of this, so for those that aren't familiar with what's going on, I can bring this into modern politics so you understand.

00:45:56.000 Julian Assange is at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

00:46:00.000 He was being threatened with arrest over some ridiculous bunk claim about assaulting some women, which never happened.

00:46:06.000 And I don't even know if it was assault. 0.96

00:46:07.000 It was like, I don't want to get too crass, but a condom broke.

00:46:10.000 The women went to the police and said, can we get him tested?

00:46:13.000 They said, aha, we're going to go get him now.

00:46:15.000 They wanted to extradite him to Sweden, so he was in London.

00:46:19.000 I believe he was sent on house arrest.

00:46:21.000 He went to the Ecuadorian embassy seeking asylum, and they granted to him.

00:46:24.000 He was trapped in the Ecuadorian embassy for I think it was, what was it, seven years?

00:46:28.000 Might have been longer.

00:46:30.000 I think it was seven.

00:46:31.000 I know he had two kids during that time.

00:46:33.000 Right.

00:46:33.000 So what happens is...

00:46:35.000 Under the Trump administration, Assange was pulled from the embassy and taken to prison.

00:46:41.000 Here's the conspiracy theory, and it is.

00:46:44.000 I mean, I think there's reason to believe this may be the case.

00:46:46.000 There are sources.

00:46:48.000 I've investigated a bit of the story.

00:46:49.000 I don't have a lot of crazy information or anything, but I've talked with certain people.

00:46:53.000 It would seem Julian Assange made a statement in an interview about Seth Rich.

00:47:02.000 There were emails that were leaked to WikiLeaks from the DNC and the DCCC, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and these emails were pretty damning.

00:47:13.000 Everybody on the right believed Seth Rich, who worked for the DNC, had leaked these emails by downloading them, handing them off to an associate of WikiLeaks, who then gave them to WikiLeaks.

00:47:24.000 There's an individual who has claimed he received these emails via USB.

00:47:27.000 The media reported the emails were hacked by the Russians.

00:47:31.000 Well, Donald Trump wanted to know what happened, and there's only one person that can tell you, and it's going to be Julian Assange.

00:47:39.000 So, the theory goes, and this is rumor and scuttlebutt, that Trump held a meeting, dispatched some of his confidants to meet with Julian Assange, and made him a deal.

00:47:51.000 Come to the U.S., provide the evidence and testimony against the Democrats, and you're a free man.

00:47:56.000 Julian Assange said no, because he will not compromise his values and the WikiLeaks organization, and sacrifice the source of the information, who will certainly die, or, assuming they didn't already, it'll cause serious harm to the individual's family.

00:48:13.000 When Julian Assange refused this, rumor is, again just rumor, that Trump team said, then we're going to bring him to the U.S.

00:48:20.000 by force.

00:48:21.000 And that's what they were trying to do.

00:48:23.000 I don't know if any of that is true.

00:48:26.000 I have spoken with some people about the issue, and it seems like it's possible, based on the things I've heard.

00:48:33.000 Now, when I hear this, assuming that is the case, and I will stress again, maybe it's all garbage, Joe Biden is concerned, the DOJ, it's not even really Biden, it's the Deep State, that if Trump wins in November, he will be able to extradite Julian Assange to the US, who is currently facing charges, and he will get Julian Assange to give him the information he wants, which will implicate establishment party members.

00:49:00.000 This is Republicans as well.

00:49:01.000 This is CIA, this is FBI.

00:49:03.000 And now, Julian Assange will go free, and Trump will be unable to do so.

00:49:07.000 Did something happen, Phil?

00:49:08.000 You just gasped.

00:49:09.000 I just saw a thing that a muse was posting about Dana Bash's ex-husband, Jeremy Bash, who's one of the 51 intelligence officials who claimed the- Oh, wow.

00:49:19.000 So that's someone that works at CNN.

00:49:20.000 Yep.

00:49:21.000 Connected to the 51 people that lied about the election.

00:49:26.000 It is entirely incestuous.

00:49:30.000 There is no light between CNN and the current administration, and there was no light between CNN and the Obama administration either.

00:49:39.000 That was when it became an issue of access as opposed to an issue of money.

00:49:43.000 You're not going to be able to pay people enough money to say the money's more important than being able to get an interview with the president or the president's chief of staff.

00:49:53.000 That is just the truth.

00:49:54.000 Access is far more valuable than money.

00:49:57.000 And until people start to realize that, they're gonna keep chasing BS stuff like, oh, lobbyists are spending too much money.

00:50:03.000 It's like, yeah, lobbyists and stuff like that are bad, fine.

00:50:06.000 But the real problem are the people that are looking for access to the president and to the administration so they can influence policy.

00:50:15.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm going to say that this is – access is really key to a lot of stuff, and I'm going to sort of awkwardly segue back to Julian Assange for a second, which is to say that, you know, if Julian Assange is released, if he's returned to Australia, I want to see a statement from Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia, who's been incredibly supportive of Julian Assange for the last couple – at least the last couple months.

00:50:35.000 I don't know his entire history.

00:50:36.000 But saying, you know, enough is enough.

00:50:37.000 He needs to be released.

00:50:38.000 This has gone on for too long.

00:50:40.000 And also, you know, the U.S.

00:50:41.000 tends to have a really positive diplomatic relationship with Australia.

00:50:44.000 We definitely did under Trump.

00:50:46.000 And, you know, under the Biden administration, as there's been Indo-Pacific tension, it seems to remain strong.

00:50:51.000 So for me, all of this remains sort of uncertain until we know what the counterpart of this deal is saying, until we know what what how Australia is reacting to this and what they are saying.

00:51:02.000 I wonder.

00:51:03.000 So we got it.

00:51:04.000 We got a great super chat from Jason Lindholm.

00:51:06.000 He said the plea deal is a set is is a setup.

00:51:08.000 The government won't let him expose anything on them.

00:51:11.000 He's going unless he's or he'll be on alive.

00:51:14.000 I think that actually makes a lot of sense that the Biden DOJ basically says.

00:51:19.000 You leave and you never come back or else.

00:51:22.000 But they need to cut ties from U.S. 0.61

00:51:24.000 authority with Assange so that if Trump gets elected, he has no legal means to actually get Assange.

00:51:31.000 And I would assume that Jason's correct in there's an implication with the deal they're offering him.

00:51:38.000 Yeah.

00:51:38.000 You are lucky you are here.

00:51:40.000 Go home.

00:51:40.000 It also, to me, would signal that the Biden administration does not think reelection is viable.

00:51:46.000 Elon responded.

00:51:49.000 I'm more important than Elon Musk.

00:51:51.000 I'm president.

00:51:52.000 I'm right here right now.

00:51:53.000 He's busy.

00:51:54.000 He's having tons of children.

00:51:55.000 No, the thing is, I really think that it's sort of a signal that the Biden administration does not think that they will be there in 2025.

00:52:02.000 And that's why they have to deal with this issue right now in the final month.

00:52:05.000 Well, what could be the final months and probably will be the final months of his presidency, because they can't leave a loose end like Julian Assange around if there's any way that that Trump would benefit from it.

00:52:14.000 But again, I feel like I can't say anything definitively until we know how the third party in this is reacting, which is actually Australia.

00:52:21.000 What's Australia going to do? 0.87

00:52:22.000 Because there's a chance that Australia is like...

00:52:24.000 Donald Trump, Julian Assange is not allowed to go to America to talk to you.

00:52:28.000 Please come visit us and have a conversation with him.

00:52:30.000 I mean, we don't know until his government says how they're going to protect him or anything else.

00:52:36.000 I think one of the big issues, too, is Julian Assange has had bad health for a long time.

00:52:39.000 You can't be locked up in a building for that long like the Ecuadorian embassy.

00:52:42.000 I think he had like a tooth issue at some point.

00:52:44.000 And having just experienced that last week, I was going to tell you, like, everything's fine.

00:52:49.000 And then you wake, I woke up at two in the morning with pain at like eight.

00:52:53.000 I had to go to the ER.

00:52:54.000 And the implications of your gums, like if your gums are infected or whatever, it can have really serious long-term consequences for your health.

00:53:00.000 Yeah, Julian was deteriorating.

00:53:01.000 I'm so excited for this.

00:53:02.000 Julian is a journalist.

00:53:05.000 I don't believe the U.S.

00:53:06.000 government's claims against him.

00:53:08.000 It makes no sense that someone who is working so hard with so many lawyers and the resources behind him would do something as stupid We've all known the rules on working with sources, every journalist does, and Julian Assange not only is not an exception, he's the height of understanding how to deal with this legally because of what he does. 0.76

00:53:31.000 The idea that he directly contacted, at the time, Bradley Manning, now Chelsea Manning, and was like, hey, let's commit a crime together! 0.86

00:53:39.000 I just do not believe it for a second.

00:53:42.000 Phil, are you going to name your new album Julian Assange is Free?

00:53:48.000 We do have an update, though.

00:53:49.000 Elon Musk has responded to my tweet.

00:53:51.000 Shout out to Elon Musk.

00:53:53.000 Thanks for watching the show, Elon.

00:53:56.000 I feel like I flubbed this initial tweet and said we planned a simulcast.

00:54:01.000 That's not correct.

00:54:03.000 We plan to provide commentary live, is a better way to put it.

00:54:07.000 But I did put that in the original tweet, so it's not so bad.

00:54:08.000 But Elon Musk says, the public has a right to see presidential debates however they would like.

00:54:12.000 DMCA does not apply.

00:54:13.000 However, Ian Miles Chong did say, it'll get DMCA'd regardless, and Axe has no good means to undo those immediately.

00:54:21.000 So, I hope Elon sees that from Ian, and that is a good point to be made.

00:54:27.000 They may have to make sure this is the case.

00:54:30.000 Now, What I will say is, and this is tough because I don't know how much I should be talking about this considering these things are actively happening right now, but I believe there's a possibility that YouTube may take the same stance as Elon Musk, and these social media platforms may actually tell CNN, shove off.

00:54:53.000 Now as for Rumble, a lot of people are asking, like, why don't I ask Rumble?

00:54:57.000 I gotta be honest.

00:54:58.000 Shout out to Chris Pavlovsky.

00:55:00.000 I think I already know his answer.

00:55:02.000 I'm like 99% sure.

00:55:03.000 He's gonna be like, dude, fair use.

00:55:05.000 No question.

00:55:06.000 I'm not so sure about how X would handle it because X notoriously has the DMCA issue.

00:55:12.000 Rumble, not so much.

00:55:14.000 So I'm fairly confident that Chris Pawlowski, CEO of Rumble, of all people, I believe he is the most forward-thinking when it comes to these things.

00:55:23.000 So I'll just give Rumble a shout-out.

00:55:26.000 We're going to be seeing how We do the simulcast.

00:55:30.000 We have a... So here's the thing people don't get.

00:55:34.000 It's not very, very simple, but it's also not particularly complicated.

00:55:39.000 It just makes it annoying to launch, especially multiple streams at once.

00:55:43.000 So when we're doing the Culture War podcast Friday mornings, that's simulcast on Tenet Media YouTube as well as X.

00:55:50.000 And you need special accounts and special programs to do it.

00:55:53.000 To do a three-way simulcast is a bit more difficult.

00:55:56.000 Now, some people ask, Tim, why would you go on X and not Rumble if that's the case?

00:55:59.000 We're gonna try all three.

00:56:01.000 But if we have to choose only one...

00:56:03.000 I have two million followers on Axe.

00:56:05.000 We've got half a million on Rumble, and no disrespect to Rumble, but Axe is also a different kind of platform which allows for more virality, and I just have more followers there.

00:56:15.000 But ideally, we will get the debate show simulcasted everywhere, and that's our plan for now.

00:56:21.000 I suppose then, moving on, let's talk about the world ending.

00:56:25.000 Hey, welcome to World War Three, everybody. 0.85

00:56:26.000 Politico reports, Russia threatens consequences for U.S.

00:56:31.000 over Crimea missile strikes.

00:56:33.000 What exactly?

00:56:34.000 Time will tell.

00:56:35.000 Kremlin spokesperson warns Washington.

00:56:38.000 You know, I think it was Elad who was here.

00:56:41.000 I'm not sure.

00:56:42.000 It sounds like something Elad would say when he said, they will do nothing.

00:56:46.000 And this was a previous issue because, and again, I think it was Elad, Elad Eliyahu, shout out.

00:56:51.000 He was just like, every single time the US escalates and blows up Russian ships and sends more weapons, Russia grumbles and does nothing.

00:57:01.000 So they're not going to do anything now.

00:57:02.000 And this was a previous, I think that was like the HIMARS missiles.

00:57:05.000 Now, this is crazy, reportedly civilians were killed.

00:57:08.000 Is that?

00:57:09.000 Yeah, if I understand correctly, it's five.

00:57:11.000 I watched these videos and it was people on like a beach.

00:57:15.000 And it was, what did they say?

00:57:16.000 Ukrainian forces targeted military radar station in Crimea, used to monitor deep space and handle satellite data.

00:57:22.000 And reportedly, here we go, Russia's defense ministry claims to have intercepted four of the missiles.

00:57:28.000 Fragments of a fifth detonated in midair after being struck by air defenses, killing four people and injuring 151 on the ground.

00:57:35.000 According to the RIA Novosti report, the U.S.

00:57:39.000 agreed to deliver long-distance ATACMS missiles with a 300-kilometer range to Ukraine early this year, with the White House also agreeing in May to allow Kiev to use detonated weaponry to hit targets inside Russia and on territory claimed by Moscow.

00:57:58.000 Russia's state-owned media outlet TASS reported Monday that the Kremlin has summoned U.S.

00:58:01.000 Ambassador to Moscow, Lynne Tracy, to the Foreign Ministry in response to the Crimea

00:58:06.000 attack.

00:58:07.000 I, I, again, I'm not sure if it was a lie, but I got to agree with that assessment.

00:58:11.000 At this point, I'm actually not so sure that Russia will do anything.

00:58:16.000 I thought for a while that we would see the use of tactical nuclear weapons.

00:58:20.000 They would not back down.

00:58:21.000 But if your own civilians are blown up by U.S.

00:58:25.000 forces and you say nothing and do nothing, I'm pretty sure the U.S.

00:58:29.000 can steamroll you and you will beg and you will bend your knees.

00:58:33.000 So Russia Saying, oh well, you know, we'll do something about how you killed Russian civilians? 0.57

00:58:40.000 Wow.

00:58:41.000 Russia is impotent.

00:58:43.000 I don't know what to say.

00:58:45.000 I don't think that Russia wants to actually get into a direct conflict with the U.S.

00:58:50.000 I don't see how that benefits them.

00:58:53.000 Russia's got the upper hand in Ukraine.

00:58:56.000 They likely are not going to be giving back any of the territory that they've taken in the long run.

00:59:02.000 The U.S.

00:59:03.000 will likely still continue to do its best to drain Russia by sending money over to Ukraine.

00:59:08.000 I wish they'd stop it.

00:59:11.000 You're the messenger here.

00:59:12.000 Yeah, I'm only saying what seems likely, not what I desire.

00:59:15.000 But it's likely that the United States is going to continue to send money to Ukraine to kill Russians because Russians are dying and Russia's expending money and they're expending weapons and etc.

00:59:26.000 I don't think that it's going to have a significant effect on Russia, but it does weaken Russia. 0.54

00:59:30.000 And Russia, I don't care how many people out there are like, oh, America bad. 0.98

00:59:34.000 The US is still the biggest, toughest guy on the block.

00:59:37.000 And whether or not we could stomp a country into the Stone Age in a matter of two months

00:59:45.000 or whether it would take more effort and stuff, that's neither here nor there.

00:59:49.000 The outcome of most wars, actually, the outcome of any military conflict, say for one involving

00:59:55.000 nuclear weapons, is already determined if the participants are the United States.

01:00:00.000 The military side will win.

01:00:02.000 The politics side, the U.S.

01:00:03.000 will lose.

01:00:04.000 They'll make bad decisions, they'll do Afghanistan, they'll do Iraq, whatever.

01:00:07.000 But the engagements themselves, the United States military wins, and they are going to continue winning until there are significant changes on the conventional battlefield.

01:00:18.000 I'm just confused by his phrasing and I'm no foreign policy buff in the extreme, but what exactly time will tell?

01:00:26.000 Is that not the most vague and, and what did you say, impotent wording?

01:00:31.000 Yeah, this is basically, look, it's like imagine two guys are at a bar and one guy hits the other guy in the face and then he falls down, gets up and looks him in squints his eyes and goes, Ooh, I'm going to get you.

01:00:41.000 What exactly?

01:00:41.000 Who knows?

01:00:43.000 Time will tell.

01:00:44.000 Literally.

01:00:44.000 It's like, okay, buddy.

01:00:45.000 Like, what are you going to do?

01:00:46.000 You know what I mean?

01:00:47.000 He's going to steal the straw out of his drink later.

01:00:49.000 That will very much inconvenience him.

01:00:51.000 They're going to do things like support Iran. 0.65

01:00:53.000 They're going to send money and weapons to North Korea.

01:00:58.000 They're going to do the things they've been doing.

01:00:59.000 They're going to continue to funnel money to probably to Hamas and Gaza.

01:01:05.000 And anything that Russia gives to Iran is going to end up in the hands of Hezbollah. 0.97

01:01:08.000 So they're going to continue to do what they're doing.

01:01:11.000 I don't see them taking on the U.S.

01:01:13.000 directly because that's just something that they're going to lose, especially when they're already engaged in a war with Ukraine, which they are winning, but it's costing.

01:01:22.000 I think I'm happy to acknowledge my ignorance on this point, but I do think that ultimately the conversation that Russia—the conversation I'm most interested that Russia is having is with other countries it views as diplomatic allies.

01:01:38.000 Vladimir Putin was just in North Korea.

01:01:40.000 He was in Vietnam.

01:01:41.000 There are other countries that are trying to walk the balance of keeping America happy and keeping China happy and keeping Russia happy and I think there are a lot of people, a lot of countries that are beginning to view America as a supporter of aggressors and aggressive in some of the policies it enacts itself.

01:01:57.000 So in some ways with anything else.

01:01:59.000 You know, I'm sure Russia is upset at its own loss of civilians, but also being able to say like, yeah, America is the toughest guy in the block, but ultimately he is bullying you out of a way of life and he's putting your citizens in danger. 0.70

01:02:10.000 That's a very challenging narrative for America to overcome, especially during an election year with a change in leadership at home.

01:02:17.000 You know, I really do feel like if the U.S.

01:02:21.000 blows up Russian civilians and Russia can't do anything, it shows weakness. 0.99

01:02:24.000 But that being said, I wonder if the Putin position is, you got a guy who half the country thinks took a dump on stage in France.

01:02:35.000 How about we just wait a little bit?

01:02:37.000 And when Trump comes in, it's over.

01:02:40.000 There's no fighting.

01:02:42.000 Trump will not tolerate that.

01:02:43.000 And we know this because Donald Trump, I believe he ordered an airstrike on Iran and called it off at the last minute, and then publicly stated that the death of the Iranians was not worth the attack.

01:02:57.000 I can't remember exactly what it was.

01:02:58.000 It was like a U.S. 0.92

01:02:59.000 drone was taken down or something.

01:03:01.000 Trump ordered an airstrike on Iranian targets, was informed of how many people were expected to die in the attack, and then he says, don't do it, pull it back.

01:03:07.000 He was like, the amount of people who would die for this is not appropriate retaliation.

01:03:12.000 Do you remember during the CNN town hall debate, or not even debate, just town hall, the lady was trying to push him on when would you, you know, how would you end Ukraine or what would you do in Ukraine?

01:03:23.000 He was like, I just want people to stop dying.

01:03:25.000 You don't want Ukraine to win? 0.97

01:03:26.000 And he's like, I just want the dying to stop.

01:03:28.000 I'm not saying that I can predict this or that I have some kind of inside knowledge, but it seems to me that it would make sense for Putin to be trying to outlast Biden in the hopes that Donald Trump gets in.

01:03:43.000 Because Donald Trump actually will want to tell them to stop the war, is my impression.

01:03:50.000 I think so too.

01:03:51.000 I can't speak for the guys, you know, I can't read minds or anything, but it's my impression that he will actually want to stop the war.

01:03:57.000 And that means that he'll put pressure on Zelensky, and that means that Putin will, what I think Putin is hoping for, is to be able to hold the land that he's already taken.

01:04:06.000 I don't think that he is actually really that concerned with taking all of Ukraine.

01:04:11.000 I think that the territory that he's taken will suffice for now.

01:04:16.000 Maybe in the future, if he lives another 10, 20 years, maybe in another five years, he would make some more advances after Donald Trump were to get out of office.

01:04:25.000 But I don't think that he would continue to try to push in Ukraine if Donald Trump was the president because I don't see that.

01:04:32.000 I think that he would look for the way out because it's his escape route.

01:04:35.000 And Putin has lost on another major issue, which is that he didn't want Ukraine to be admitted to NATO.

01:04:39.000 Well, Finland got admitted to NATO, which doubled the border that Russia now has with a NATO country.

01:04:44.000 I mean, this is something that it's not.

01:04:48.000 I mean, it's Finland, right?

01:04:49.000 Like there's a certain level of like we're not expecting a conflict there, although there is a certain level of like shifting back and forth of illegal immigrants over that border.

01:04:56.000 And Finland has now closed it.

01:04:57.000 So, you know, he has lost on something he really wanted that Biden would not agree to, this NATO issue.

01:05:04.000 At a certain point, I think he is absolutely willing to come to the table and say, I have some land.

01:05:07.000 I'm ready to end this.

01:05:08.000 And it's Zelensky who is like, no, the fighting has to continue.

01:05:10.000 We can't let go of anything.

01:05:11.000 And we really like this money being here.

01:05:13.000 You are correct.

01:05:14.000 Except for when Trump gets in, Zelensky just goes, my boss got fired.

01:05:19.000 Who do I report to now?

01:05:20.000 And then Trump's like, I'm your boss.

01:05:21.000 He's like, OK, boss, I'll do whatever you say.

01:05:23.000 I think so, or he'll go to other European countries and be like, see how mean America is?

01:05:28.000 They didn't elect the guy who gave me all this money.

01:05:29.000 I think Zelensky's going to be like, tell me what to do, boss.

01:05:34.000 Maybe, yeah.

01:05:36.000 I don't see him as the actual president of Ukraine.

01:05:38.000 I think Zelensky's just- He's not supposed to be right now.

01:05:40.000 He suspended elections.

01:05:41.000 That's right.

01:05:42.000 Just trying to save his neck, I imagine, right? 0.88

01:05:44.000 Because he's the guy, if Russia gets a hold of him, he's going to die. 0.99

01:05:47.000 They'd kill him, you know? 0.99

01:05:49.000 I don't know. 0.87

01:05:50.000 I don't know.

01:05:51.000 No, because he's just a TV personality, you know what I mean?

01:05:57.000 Like, he's the guy who literally played the president on a TV show in Ukraine, for real.

01:06:01.000 And they elected him.

01:06:02.000 Did they?

01:06:03.000 And I imagine if they capture him, Putin's gonna be like, you know, it's your boss we want, you're just some random guy.

01:06:09.000 Now, that being said, possibility because he does still represent that image.

01:06:14.000 Yeah, so publicly, too.

01:06:15.000 Have you guys seen Iron Man 3?

01:06:17.000 Yeah.

01:06:18.000 Yeah, it's like that, right?

01:06:19.000 The Mandarin is played by Ben Kingsley.

01:06:22.000 And I was so excited in the trailer for that, because I'm like, oh, they're doing the Mandarin, the villain for Iron Man.

01:06:27.000 And he's like, America!

01:06:28.000 And I'm like, oh!

01:06:29.000 And then they did a swap, the old switcheroo.

01:06:32.000 Ben Kingsley's character is like some stoner guy who's an actor on TV and has no idea what's going on.

01:06:36.000 I'm like, that's Zelinsky.

01:06:38.000 If you got him in a room, he'd be like, look, I'm a comedian on TV.

01:06:41.000 I have no idea what's going on.

01:06:42.000 I've never seen actual frontline battle.

01:06:45.000 I just do soundstage stuff.

01:06:46.000 Yeah, and he does feel like he's performing all the time.

01:06:48.000 Like, you saw the video of him doing the single ladies dance and, like, the guitar.

01:06:51.000 Like, hard to take that seriously.

01:06:53.000 But then also he's, like, he actually has a costume for this conflict, right?

01:06:57.000 He's always in military fatigues or military-esque clothing to remind people that they're in conflict, even when he's, you know, obviously nowhere near any sort of fighting and he's in whatever country asking for money.

01:07:07.000 In the White House.

01:07:08.000 Right!

01:07:08.000 You couldn't put on a suit?

01:07:09.000 And he's like, no, I have this costume I've got to stick with.

01:07:12.000 Oh my gosh.

01:07:13.000 All right, let's tone things down and jump to American domestic politics again.

01:07:17.000 We have a story from OutKick.

01:07:18.000 I'm so excited for this one.

01:07:19.000 Taylor Swift lyrics enrage social media.

01:07:23.000 But are people overreacting?

01:07:25.000 So, well, Bettridge's laws of headlines, I think that's what it's called.

01:07:28.000 Can you fact check me on that one?

01:07:30.000 Is that whenever a news headline ends with a question mark, the answer is no.

01:07:34.000 However, in this instance, you don't need to ask the question.

01:07:36.000 People are overreacting.

01:07:38.000 Basically what happens is, and of course, you know, Hannah Clare being a major Swiftie. 0.99

01:07:42.000 So here's this video.

01:07:43.000 I'm gonna play this video for you, and I'd like you to hear what Taylor Swift has to say to her audience.

01:07:47.000 You guys hear that? Yeah.

01:07:58.000 Yeah.

01:07:58.000 She sang F the Patriarchy, and all the kids cheer along, and conservatives are losing their minds.

01:08:06.000 I'm so glad we're talking about this because, first of all, David Hooksett is a friend of mine, and I'm a Swiftie.

01:08:14.000 And you know the truth.

01:08:15.000 I do.

01:08:15.000 The truth is, it's an old song, and she's talking about a guy- She is!

01:08:20.000 Jake Gyllenhaal.

01:08:21.000 It was Jake Gyllenhaal.

01:08:22.000 Jake Gyllenhaal.

01:08:24.000 We know!

01:08:27.000 This is what always happens, people overreact, they don't get the full context.

01:08:32.000 So when I saw a video of Taylor Swift saying F the Patriarchy, I am not a Swifty, I was like, I googled searched F the Patriarchy Taylor Swift, saw the song, listened to it, and I was like, oh, she's saying, you threw me your car keys, and you had a keychain that said F the Patriarchy.

01:08:47.000 She's like insulting the guy! 1.00

01:08:48.000 It's a song about the fact that she dated a male feminist who treated her badly.

01:08:53.000 It's a 10 minute long song about how this crashed and burned.

01:08:57.000 That has been in her set list for this tour from the beginning.

01:09:01.000 I know I saw it in Colorado last summer, right?

01:09:04.000 Everyone yelled it then, too.

01:09:06.000 Conservatives, like, I get that you're upset about this.

01:09:08.000 You're not listening to the context, and also you're, like, panicked, pearl-clutching at something that you're so out of touch with.

01:09:14.000 It's honestly sort of sad because, like, this is one of the most viral tours.

01:09:18.000 Every time she goes on stage and changes her costumes, it goes everywhere.

01:09:22.000 And you guys couldn't figure out that this has been a song lyric for actual years.

01:09:26.000 It's not just that, it's that the song's critical of the guy.

01:09:29.000 Yes!

01:09:30.000 She's not saying this for herself.

01:09:32.000 She's quoting that he did it.

01:09:34.000 Right.

01:09:34.000 She's condescending to the guy.

01:09:36.000 Imagine if Charlie Kirk got on stage and then started yelling, you got people who are saying it's not enough to not be racist.

01:09:44.000 We got to be actively anti-racist.

01:09:46.000 And then everyone started booing him and posting clips being like, how dare you say that, Charlie?

01:09:52.000 He's saying, don't do that.

01:09:53.000 What do you mean?

01:09:54.000 I get frustrated with this whole conversation because, first of all, I would just like to say, I am very conservative.

01:10:00.000 I would never call myself a feminist.

01:10:02.000 I'm very pro-life.

01:10:02.000 You know, I am probably the opposite of everything that Taylor Swift stands for.

01:10:06.000 That being said, I feel like conservatives, especially conservative men, embarrass themselves by their takes on Taylor Swift because what they're trying to do is say, look, she's teaching young women bad things.

01:10:16.000 She's so liberal.

01:10:17.000 We want her to be this paragon of liberalism. 0.90

01:10:19.000 A billionaire capitalist is teaching people bad things?

01:10:22.000 But it's like, actually, if you look at what she sings, she's pretty tame compared to every other female singer out there. 1.00

01:10:28.000 And I'm not saying she's a good example for little girls.

01:10:30.000 Like, I don't think little girls should be listening to someone say, F the patriarchy.

01:10:33.000 But at the same time, she's just Taylor Swift.

01:10:35.000 She's a megastar.

01:10:36.000 And this song is a 10 minute, like, 10 minute review of a relationship she had with a male feminist and how it was bad.

01:10:43.000 Like, I'm sorry, conservatives, you should recognize what a win this is.

01:10:47.000 I think one of the original tweets that went viral is from Mary Morgan of Pop Culture Crisis.

01:10:52.000 I think she needs a Hannah Clare intervention to explain the nuances of Taylor Swift to her. 1.00

01:10:58.000 Look, I mean, again, it's funny because that song, you know, it's called All Too Well.

01:11:02.000 It came out back in the day.

01:11:04.000 Then she re-recorded all of her albums.

01:11:06.000 And this one in particular, she made 10 Minutes Long.

01:11:08.000 She added this part about the keychain or whatever else.

01:11:11.000 It's super old news.

01:11:13.000 People were like, I remember people writing about it back then, like, ooh, she says F the patriarch in contact of this thing.

01:11:18.000 But again, like, it's actually a song about a male feminist who treated her badly.

01:11:22.000 Listen, listen, like, All Too Well is a really well-crafted song.

01:11:27.000 It's actually beautiful.

01:11:28.000 Like, people, people like to get on Taylor Swift.

01:11:31.000 Listen, like, because she's popular and because, you know, she's, whatever, they don't like her teeth or whatever.

01:11:38.000 I don't care.

01:11:38.000 But like, she is an extremely accomplished songwriter for a reason.

01:11:44.000 She plays piano, she plays guitar, she does all this while she's singing.

01:11:47.000 Like, she performs really well.

01:11:49.000 So this idea that she's like some hack and that you can dunk on her as being some kind of, you know, product of the Of a record company or something?

01:12:01.000 That is a complete and total clown show, and you only make yourself unappealing to potential voters. 1.00

01:12:09.000 Don't hate on popular things just because you're stupid and a loser. 1.00

01:12:13.000 Especially if you're months late to this, right? 1.00

01:12:16.000 If she had just added this song to the setlist, I would get where you're like, oh, she says this thing I had no idea about, but it's been there for a long time.

01:12:22.000 When's the song from?

01:12:23.000 It was on the Red Record.

01:12:25.000 No, no, but when's the original?

01:12:26.000 It was on the Red Record from 2012 or 13.

01:12:28.000 This line wasn't on the original.

01:12:29.000 Yeah, this is the 10-minute version.

01:12:31.000 So she re-recorded it, but again, that was like, what?

01:12:33.000 Three or four years ago?

01:12:34.000 She wrote it back.

01:12:35.000 Alright.

01:12:36.000 Whichever.

01:12:36.000 At the beginning.

01:12:37.000 Again, she's been on tour for over a year.

01:12:39.000 So this is why I don't care about Taylor Swift at all.

01:12:44.000 The issue here is not Taylor Swift.

01:12:46.000 The issue is, this is the biggest music tour, like one of the biggest music tours ever.

01:12:53.000 Normies love Taylor.

01:12:55.000 She is not herself singing F the Patriarchy and telling little girls to think that.

01:13:00.000 She's telling a story of something she saw.

01:13:03.000 I don't get why conservatives are so hell-bent on declaring war on someone who is not at war with them.

01:13:11.000 There's no reason to be.

01:13:12.000 Many people have pointed out that Taylor Swift She's like, how old is she, 35?

01:13:19.000 34.

01:13:20.000 And she's writing now about how she wants to get married and have kids.

01:13:22.000 And her hunky football player was on stage last night?

01:13:26.000 It's prom night!

01:13:28.000 But what's frustrating is, again, I don't care about Taylor Swift, you've got to figure out all these pundits, right?

01:13:34.000 We got Paul Joseph Watson, we got Darren Grimes, we got Paul, I don't know who that is, TJ Moe, all these people.

01:13:41.000 Mary Morgan, we'll talk to Mary.

01:13:43.000 because she works here. But all these people need to recognize, like,

01:13:46.000 you're going after the normies to convince them of things that are good, and they enjoy listening

01:13:52.000 to Taylor Swift sing. So what you need to do is highlight all of the things that Taylor Swift is

01:13:58.000 doing well, and I'll put it simply, if a 24-year-old woman is walking down the street, 0.93

01:14:05.000 apolitical, she doesn't really pay attention, so she probably has a default lib, 0.98

01:14:10.000 and you walk up and say F. Taylor Swift.

01:14:14.000 She's now going to be like, I don't like you.

01:14:16.000 Yeah.

01:14:16.000 She's not going to listen to anything you say.

01:14:18.000 You walk up and say, isn't it amazing that we have this, like, Young woman who's got the hunky football guy.

01:14:25.000 It's like, it's like good old American apple pie.

01:14:27.000 The football guy and the cheerleader.

01:14:29.000 And she's, you remember when she was singing how she's on the bleachers and whatever?

01:14:33.000 And now she's got the guy.

01:14:35.000 And that's the American dream to get married and have kids. 0.89

01:14:37.000 That 24-year-old is going to be like, that's so cool.

01:14:39.000 Yeah.

01:14:39.000 And she's going to like you.

01:14:41.000 And then you can say, yes, here's what else I think you should agree with me. 1.00

01:14:44.000 Listen, conservatives don't hate popular things just because you're stupid. 1.00

01:14:48.000 Right. 1.00

01:14:50.000 You know, I would like to make one more point on this.

01:14:52.000 I think the conservatives get it so wrong on on her music and other popular female musicians in that she's singing about love all the time.

01:15:01.000 She's not singing about politics.

01:15:03.000 This is a crazy thing.

01:15:04.000 Why? 0.92

01:15:04.000 Why isn't this article about like WAP or like literally I could probably go on the Billboard Hot 100 right now and find 50 songs that are just degenerate garbage. 0.92

01:15:14.000 Or where were all the conservative commenters?

01:15:16.000 I mean, some of them did pick this up, but when Olivia Rodrigo, who's also a pop star, was giving out Plan B at her concert.

01:15:22.000 She got roasted for that. 0.87

01:15:23.000 She did.

01:15:24.000 And her target audience is younger girls.

01:15:26.000 That's my thing, though.

01:15:27.000 There is actually something way more serious than Taylor Swift telling you she dated a guy who had an F the Patriarchy keychain on his keys.

01:15:35.000 Let's hold these things in comparison here.

01:15:37.000 Right.

01:15:38.000 And I think it's just a fundamental misunderstanding of the topic at hand.

01:15:41.000 You know, everyone wants to be viral now.

01:15:42.000 Everyone wants to have a quick take. 1.00

01:15:44.000 So we say stupid things, like Phil's saying, we say stupid things about things we have no idea about, and then it just makes us look dumb. 1.00

01:15:51.000 And out of touch! 1.00

01:15:53.000 Like, come on!

01:15:53.000 This has been going on for like over a year!

01:15:55.000 And to Tim's point about your average 24-year-old girl on the street, this is kind of a cool moment that Taylor Swift is in.

01:16:01.000 She was posting last night about how much she loves her boyfriend.

01:16:05.000 Do we want to repel Taylor Swift, too?

01:16:06.000 I'm not saying she's going to become some conservative, because that's naive.

01:16:10.000 But at the same time, why not encourage her in these good things?

01:16:13.000 I'll tell you this.

01:16:14.000 I'll tell you what I think of Taylor Swift.

01:16:15.000 I think behind the scenes, she's a fair-weather conservative.

01:16:20.000 There are a bunch of rock stars that I will not out.

01:16:24.000 Okay, but they're fair-weather conservatives behind the scenes.

01:16:27.000 They're basically saying like, oh, I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump.

01:16:30.000 I vote for all the Republicans, but I got music to sell and I don't want to get political in my product.

01:16:36.000 You know, and I think that's wrong because the left is the opposite.

01:16:40.000 So it's annoying, you get a lot of these celebrities, it's the most annoying thing in the world.

01:16:46.000 Celebrities, pro athletes, actors, musicians, whatever.

01:16:49.000 And they'll message me and be like, oh man, I'm so excited, I'm gonna vote for Trump.

01:16:52.000 And I'm like, hey, why don't you post that on Instagram?

01:16:53.000 And they're like, oh no, I wouldn't do that.

01:16:55.000 And I'm like, dude.

01:16:56.000 The left won't stop doing that.

01:16:58.000 You need to start.

01:16:59.000 I'm willing to bet.

01:17:00.000 You look at where Taylor Swift is from.

01:17:02.000 I know people post that documentary clip where she's crying about Trump or whatever, and I'm like, dude, I'm willing to bet.

01:17:07.000 Behind the scenes, she is like moderate right.

01:17:11.000 No, she's dated multiple guys.

01:17:13.000 Who's that?

01:17:14.000 Mattie Healy?

01:17:15.000 Yeah, from 1975.

01:17:16.000 Yeah, he's very controversial and she got very angry.

01:17:20.000 She wrote a whole song about how everyone tried to tell her she couldn't date him because of politics and she was furious.

01:17:26.000 So I would believe that, Tam.

01:17:27.000 I mean, she definitely... I mean, her dad was like a rich Republican, people found out and were like, really?

01:17:32.000 Yeah, he owns a Christmas tree farm, right?

01:17:34.000 Isn't that true?

01:17:37.000 One of the things that we talk about frequently here is we have to endorse family values, and we have to endorse basically normalcy.

01:17:48.000 We don't want to center the things that are essentially on the outside and on the margins, because they tend to be on the margins for a reason.

01:17:57.000 Taylor Swift is dating a man.

01:18:01.000 Taylor Swift probably could or may get pregnant by that man through normal means. 1.00

01:18:09.000 If that happens, the fertility rate of the U.S. 0.59

01:18:11.000 is going to jump to like 2.1.

01:18:17.000 It is.

01:18:17.000 Thank goodness.

01:18:18.000 Stop being stupid. 1.00

01:18:19.000 I said this like six months ago. 1.00

01:18:21.000 I did too.

01:18:21.000 She's gonna usher in a baby boom.

01:18:23.000 And I think this is the thing that people don't appreciate.

01:18:25.000 Every conservative dad who is watching this clip being like, hold on, hold on.

01:18:30.000 They should go to their daughters and be like, yeah, it sounds like that guy who was claiming to be against the patriarchy treated her really badly.

01:18:37.000 Imagine what happens when Taylor's next album is all about being a mom. 1.00

01:18:41.000 How she loves her kids and how she made Rice Krispie treats.

01:18:44.000 And then she makes a music video with her kid and she's like stirring the marshmallow and smiling.

01:18:49.000 And then what all of the Swifties who are going to be in their mid to late 20s are going to be wanting to do.

01:18:53.000 Her latest album has this line because she's talking about whatever relationship because she just dated someone for like six years and they didn't get married or have kids.

01:19:00.000 She has several references to the fact that like she wanted to have kids, she waited at the altar, she gave you all the stolen youth for free.

01:19:07.000 This is really interesting messaging.

01:19:09.000 It was super powerful and she literally said, you stole my good years.

01:19:13.000 And that is a current, very relevant topic.

01:19:15.000 This is something young women need to hear.

01:19:17.000 And I get that you don't love Taylor Swift.

01:19:19.000 You don't have to love her.

01:19:20.000 But also these are messages young women should actually be hearing that you can't date someone forever and ever.

01:19:25.000 And then when they don't marry, you'll be like, it's cool.

01:19:26.000 I'll just keep waiting. 0.97

01:19:27.000 All of the conservatives that are giving her crap and stuff, they're doing it entirely, what they're doing is totally counterproductive to what their stated messaging is. 0.97

01:19:39.000 It's counterproductive and they're only doing it to raise their own celebrity level. 0.97

01:19:45.000 So that way they can get the hot dunk on Taylor Swift so maybe it'll go viral.

01:19:50.000 It's self-serving, it's counterproductive, it's bad for any type of conservative agenda at all. 1.00

01:19:58.000 It is stupid. 1.00

01:19:59.000 Stop being stupid, especially in election years, you stupid, stupid idiots. 1.00

01:20:05.000 Our fertility rate is too low for this. 1.00

01:20:07.000 Let's jump to this next story.

01:20:08.000 We've got some Axios.

01:20:09.000 This is really interesting.

01:20:11.000 Vivek Ramaswamy meets with BuzzFeed CEO amid activist campaign.

01:20:16.000 Oh boy.

01:20:17.000 He brought Patrick Bet-David and Chris Bough from Red Seat Ventures.

01:20:23.000 We'll get into that in a second.

01:20:24.000 The news is, Vivek Ramaswamy and BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti recently met for more than an hour to discuss the former presidential candidate's activist campaign against the media company.

01:20:35.000 He's turning the company around.

01:20:36.000 Come on.

01:20:37.000 I love that his thing is like, I think we can save you, and they're like, he's against them.

01:20:40.000 Yeah.

01:20:41.000 Ramaswamy announced his BuzzFeed stake with an incendiary letter.

01:20:44.000 Full disclosure, too, I also bought a bunch of shares in BuzzFeed, too, because I really just would love to own BuzzFeed.

01:20:53.000 What is this?

01:20:55.000 Let me see.

01:20:56.000 Where am I at with BuzzFeed?

01:20:58.000 I don't have a lot of BuzzFeed.

01:20:59.000 I've got 23,000 shares-ish, or so, and I think it's a good buy.

01:21:05.000 I'm not telling anyone what to do, but I just want to make sure that's known, because I'm reporting on a story about BuzzFeed.

01:21:10.000 But when I heard that The Vape was going in and trying to save the company, it seemed like...

01:21:14.000 He might actually do it, and then it seems like a goodbye.

01:21:18.000 But, you know, again, just make sure that's full disclosure.

01:21:21.000 They say BuzzFeed stock climbed above $3 per share upon Ramaswamy's initial disclosure of a 7.7% ownership.

01:21:27.000 He's since increased that now to 8.9.

01:21:30.000 He met with the CEO, and they say two of the three individuals he wants added to the company's board.

01:21:36.000 Chris Balfe of Red Seat Ventures.

01:21:37.000 Full disclosure, Red Seat Ventures also does our ad sales.

01:21:42.000 And podcaster Patrick Bet-David Full disclosure, we know that guy.

01:21:46.000 Ramaswamy's third director pick, OutKick founder Clay Travis, did not attend but was briefed.

01:21:52.000 All three proposed directors, who hadn't been publicly identified until now, are veterans of conservative media.

01:21:57.000 Ramaswamy claimed in the meeting that several former BuzzFeed employees and early investors reached out to him, saying the company needed change.

01:22:03.000 He also got reminded that shareholders would likely need to vote on any major change.

01:22:07.000 Now Ramaswamy's got 9% and he's asking for a 37.5% piece of the board.

01:22:13.000 Ramaswamy tells Axios the meeting was constructive.

01:22:16.000 A BuzzFeed spokesperson says we appreciate Vivek Ramaswamy's recommendations and they will be sent to governance as per the formal process that he is no doubt aware of.

01:22:24.000 So I'm going to tell you my position because this is very, very... I'm personally involved.

01:22:28.000 I normally don't like buying stocks at all.

01:22:30.000 Any of them.

01:22:32.000 Because we do this show.

01:22:33.000 And that means if I report on something, it could directly impact a stock that I'm holding, so I don't like to do that.

01:22:38.000 But I will give you that full disclosure.

01:22:40.000 When I saw Vivek was making these moves, being somebody who works in media, understanding how media machines operate, hearing what Vivek has said, this to me was... I'm thinking to myself...

01:22:51.000 I know how this stuff works.

01:22:53.000 I'm confident in Vivek, one of the smartest guys I've ever met.

01:22:57.000 This seems like he could actually turn the company around.

01:23:00.000 I would love to own BuzzFeed, so I bought as much as I did.

01:23:04.000 This is going to be interesting because I do believe Vivek's going to win, and BuzzFeed may become normal.

01:23:10.000 I think it's weird they called his letter incendiary.

01:23:12.000 Like, if you read his letter, he's like, hey, I buy your stock because I believe that this company has value and here are some ways you can turn it around.

01:23:19.000 And, you know, I mean, I guess it's really calling them out.

01:23:22.000 At one point he points out that they have – they're basically operating – their operating expenses are something like 147 percent higher than their revenue.

01:23:30.000 Like, it doesn't make any sense.

01:23:32.000 Where does the money come from?

01:23:34.000 Who knows?

01:23:35.000 It's hard to say.

01:23:38.000 I think that this is a very – it's only seeming like a takeover or activist campaign.

01:23:44.000 They're only treating it negatively because of Vivek Ramaswamy.

01:23:47.000 If it was Taylor Swift being like, I believe BuzzFeed could get better, they'd be like, wow.

01:23:52.000 So interesting.

01:23:53.000 Girl bus. 0.95

01:23:54.000 Good job.

01:23:54.000 But if the fake Ramaswamy does it, he can only have malicious intentions.

01:23:59.000 And he can't just be operating as a businessman, which is, by the way, what he was before he launched his presidential bid.

01:24:04.000 You know, it's kind of crazy because as I pulled up...

01:24:08.000 You know, my stocks to see, like, to say, like, full disclosure, I've got 23,000.

01:24:13.000 I think this news resulted in a huge spike.

01:24:15.000 I'm just seeing that right now.

01:24:17.000 That Vivek is basically like, hey guys, I have an idea to save the company.

01:24:21.000 All of a sudden, everybody's like, please do this.

01:24:23.000 Please.

01:24:24.000 The fascinating thing is the resistance that still exists.

01:24:27.000 Even Axios calling it against the Camp Media company.

01:24:31.000 Look at this, against it?

01:24:33.000 It's gonna save it!

01:24:34.000 I want your company to function well and be profitable.

01:24:37.000 He's against BuzzFeed.

01:24:39.000 Their whole business model is losing money.

01:24:41.000 Honest question, where does this money come from?

01:24:43.000 Seriously, if they're operating at 147% above their revenue, and the whole of media is like, Viveca is trying to destroy this company, then who's funding it?

01:24:54.000 It's a mystery to me.

01:24:55.000 The conspiracy theory is that the government is funding these things.

01:24:57.000 I don't know if I believe that, but someone's putting money into this to keep this thing afloat.

01:25:03.000 There are a lot of wealthy people.

01:25:05.000 Let's say a guy owns a cookie factory, and the cookie does $20 million in sales, and he pockets $10 million of that.

01:25:13.000 He might spend $5 million a year losing money because he wants to open a mini golf putt putt.

01:25:20.000 He loves it, and so he does.

01:25:22.000 I'm wondering if there's some billionaire, probably, who's just like, BuzzFeed puts out a positive woke message that they want.

01:25:32.000 And so they put money into it to keep it running.

01:25:34.000 But that doesn't make sense actually, because then their revenue would be above their costs.

01:25:39.000 If a billion—well, I guess it's an investment or a debt financing.

01:25:43.000 I don't know.

01:25:43.000 I don't get it.

01:25:44.000 The thing is, when they went public, right, since they've gone public, their shares have crashed.

01:25:49.000 It's like 95% down or something like that.

01:25:51.000 So even the fact that literally him being like, I am investing in BuzzFeed, and the fact that shares went up, he's already having a more net positive impact than their leadership has had over the last year or however many months it's been since they went public.

01:26:03.000 And he is somehow the villain?

01:26:06.000 Yeah, it said the stock climbed above $3 a share on his initial disclosure.

01:26:11.000 After being in freefall for, I mean, I think it's over a year at this point, I could be slightly wrong on that, but he is adding value to the company simply by saying, like, I think this is something you should invest in.

01:26:20.000 That's fascinating.

01:26:21.000 BuzzFeed is down 93.36% from its IPO.

01:26:27.000 I find it fascinating in general since the only thing I know BuzzFeed for are those, like, quizzes, which Disney prints are you, which my friends and I used to take in high school.

01:26:34.000 What ramen flavor will you eat?

01:26:35.000 And they'll tell you what your perfect job is?

01:26:35.000 Yeah.

01:26:37.000 Yeah.

01:26:38.000 The psychological profiles that they were doing, you mean?

01:26:41.000 Yeah, it's just like nonsense.

01:26:43.000 That's exactly what they were.

01:26:43.000 Maybe that's it.

01:26:44.000 But they've never produced real journalism.

01:26:46.000 They've only done like hit pieces, right?

01:26:48.000 They did have some big stories come out of BuzzFeed News.

01:26:51.000 They were the first on a couple.

01:26:52.000 I mean, the Harvey Weinstein story at one point, didn't they?

01:26:56.000 There's a couple.

01:26:56.000 Oh, were they?

01:26:57.000 And again, I would direct everyone to Because he points that out.

01:27:00.000 He was like, at one time you did have some, you know, I think of them as listicles too, but they did have a couple big stories.

01:27:06.000 But they shut down BuzzFeed News over a year ago.

01:27:08.000 It was like April of last year, I think.

01:27:10.000 And so they are existing but without direction.

01:27:14.000 And I think, you know, my big takeaway is that he is saying, like, you should have a broader reach of viewpoints.

01:27:20.000 He's mentioned having Candace Owens, a bunch of other people on.

01:27:22.000 And you should go back to being the size of a startup.

01:27:26.000 You should make your business viable and also maybe try to attract a bigger audience.

01:27:30.000 And I think that's crazy that they're like, how could he do this?

01:27:34.000 Of course. 0.99

01:27:35.000 This crazy guy.

01:27:36.000 I was just reading about how, I believe it's the Washington Post, their newsroom is in shambles because they brought in someone new to help resurrect the newsroom because nothing they're writing anymore is getting any views.

01:27:49.000 Um, and the fact of the matter is, I mean, I work for conservative news outlets.

01:27:53.000 I've worked for conservative news outlets for the past, like, six or seven years.

01:27:56.000 And we know at these outlets that we exist to fill the void that the other media outlets leave because they're not doing it.

01:28:03.000 There's a huge hole, whether it's, you know, like COVID hypocrisy, the governor saying, do as I say, not as I do.

01:28:09.000 They just don't cover that.

01:28:10.000 So for conservative media, we have this huge plethora of stories that no one else will talk about.

01:28:15.000 But for Buzzfeed, all they have to do is tell the truth and they will get Lots of readership.

01:28:21.000 They will get lots of views because people want that.

01:28:24.000 They don't want to read, for example, the Daily Caller if they're not conservative.

01:28:27.000 They want a truthful source that's not going to push them the wrong way.

01:28:31.000 And so I think there's a huge gap here for, you know, the so-called moderates that are looking for a news outlet that is truthful and honest, but we just don't have that anymore.

01:28:41.000 It doesn't exist.

01:28:42.000 Yeah.

01:28:43.000 And I mean, and I'm not saying conservative outlets are not truthful and honest.

01:28:45.000 I just think there's a huge population that's just not even going to read that.

01:28:49.000 You know, I write news every day, but I know there are people that when they see Daily Signal, they just aren't going to read it.

01:28:54.000 Yeah, I think that's true.

01:28:55.000 And I think conservatives do this, too.

01:28:56.000 I think there's some stuff where you, I mean, like, I'm never going to look at anything from, like, Salon.com and be like, I trust you for sure, guys.

01:29:03.000 I'll read it for laughs.

01:29:04.000 I read it for, like, the perspective, right?

01:29:06.000 Like, there are definitely different, like, niche interest outlets that's kind of interesting, like, I think it's roots.

01:29:12.000 I'll read their stuff, especially when they write about Candace Owens because they just hate her so much. 1.00

01:29:15.000 So it's interesting to get another perspective.

01:29:17.000 But it's, again, I would click on that knowing that there is a slant as opposed to, you know, NBC, ABC, any of these news outlets that are mainstream that are trying to pretend that they are neutral when actually they obviously also have a bias.

01:29:31.000 They're more deceptive than something that is like, you know, we are conservative and that's our bent.

01:29:35.000 Let me just pull up some of what BuzzFeed is currently working on.

01:29:37.000 Here's one.

01:29:38.000 Popular.

01:29:39.000 People who won the genetic lottery are sharing how they're basically better than everyone else and it's so freaking true.

01:29:46.000 Good grief.

01:29:48.000 So let's take a look at their number one trending right here on the big front page.

01:29:51.000 Big ol' trending.

01:29:52.000 Look at that trending.

01:29:53.000 58 responses.

01:29:55.000 58.

01:29:57.000 That's a big number, BuzzFeed.

01:29:59.000 Can you say 58, BuzzFeed?

01:30:00.000 Wow.

01:30:02.000 The most cringy moments in the history of film.

01:30:04.000 Their number one is that, but the one with Mindy Kaling has 67 engagements?

01:30:08.000 I'm not sure how they decide what's trending.

01:30:09.000 Trending number one, here it says.

01:30:11.000 Here are the celebs who were spotted at Taylor Swift's heiress tour in London.

01:30:15.000 That is good information.

01:30:16.000 29 emojis.

01:30:18.000 29 emojis.

01:30:19.000 29.

01:30:20.000 There you go. 0.99

01:30:20.000 Oh, look, they covered this man's nipples and they get 19 comments. 0.99

01:30:25.000 That's a big number. 0.98

01:30:26.000 That's good for BuzzFeed.

01:30:27.000 This is quality content.

01:30:29.000 I don't understand how BuzzFeed makes money at this point.

01:30:32.000 Their quizzes?

01:30:35.000 What if their quizzes are just like a billion dollar industry?

01:30:37.000 But then they wouldn't be operating the way they are.

01:30:38.000 I don't understand it at all, but... I don't understand Jonah Peretti.

01:30:43.000 Like, it feels like BuzzFeed is dead.

01:30:45.000 There was this when I was – because I've covered it a little – I've been covering Vivek's, you know, apparently hostile takeover of BuzzFeed, you know, since he kind of announced it.

01:30:54.000 And I find it really interesting because at one point I was reading the statement from Peretti where he's effectively saying to the board like, you know, they've been losing money.

01:31:00.000 Their stock price is down.

01:31:01.000 He's like, don't worry.

01:31:03.000 I'm going to start making money.

01:31:05.000 I'm going to start taking that more seriously.

01:31:07.000 Don't worry, guys.

01:31:08.000 How are you still – why did you not get fired?

01:31:11.000 Who was on the board where they're like, this guy is – well, we'll just hang on.

01:31:11.000 Yeah.

01:31:14.000 We'll keep giving him chances.

01:31:15.000 They've had mass – like, multiple rounds of mass layoffs.

01:31:18.000 Right.

01:31:18.000 I mean, that does lend credence to Tim's theory that there's someone that just doesn't really care that they're losing money and is willing to bankroll it.

01:31:25.000 I guess.

01:31:27.000 But why would you – I mean, maybe it's a psychological experimentation, right?

01:31:30.000 Somebody's collecting all the data on all their users.

01:31:33.000 Well, yeah.

01:31:34.000 They spend a lot of time putting out those I mean, they spent a decade putting out those silly quizzes.

01:31:39.000 And all that was was just collecting data like that.

01:31:43.000 The reason for it was just to get people to click and collect data.

01:31:47.000 What did they do with it?

01:31:49.000 I mean, I don't know, but I mean, it's extremely valuable when you can use it to market, to target advertisers.

01:31:58.000 And I'm sure that they have the ability to do that.

01:32:00.000 Because advertisers collect all kinds of data.

01:32:01.000 It's not even just like what you're clicking on, but how long it takes you to click it.

01:32:04.000 I mean, they must have sold it.

01:32:05.000 Facebook has this policy of creating shadow profiles.

01:32:11.000 shadow accounts. Yeah, so when you approve Facebook or Instagram or

01:32:17.000 Messenger to give to get all of your contacts from your phone, they take

01:32:21.000 everything and then they keep that data and then anytime someone else allows

01:32:26.000 them to have all the data in their phone, they go ahead and they they they

01:32:29.000 match up numbers and names that correspond if they have to Nate two

01:32:33.000 different phones with the same name and number, they create a profile for that

01:32:37.000 person and then they'll start doing things like looking for those for

01:32:40.000 looking for people to check those people into places so they will literally

01:32:44.000 track your location even if you don't have a Facebook account if you've never

01:32:49.000 They still do this to this day and it's a constant thing that's going on.

01:32:53.000 This is not new, this is consistent.

01:32:56.000 So the idea, the amount of data that organizations like Facebook, Google have is beyond, honestly it's beyond human comprehension.

01:33:04.000 We're gonna go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

01:33:23.000 It's about CNN trying to stop people from being able to comment on the upcoming debate, so we'll see what happens.

01:33:47.000 from BL42JD says, nobody cares.

01:33:52.000 W's in the chat for Julian Assange. 0.92

01:33:54.000 They can't even mention such an important breaking news topic, just surface level garbage. 0.92

01:33:59.000 He's so angry. 0.84

01:34:00.000 And we talked about Julian Assange twice.

01:34:03.000 This is the weird thing.

01:34:04.000 It's like they tune in the middle of the show and they're like, why aren't they talking about the same thing nonstop for 80 minutes?

01:34:10.000 It's like, we opened the show with it.

01:34:13.000 And then we did a segment on it.

01:34:15.000 And then we talked about other things.

01:34:16.000 Do you think anybody ever clips IRL and makes those like, you know, Tim's opening monologue of IRL on loop for one hour video?

01:34:24.000 Like, do you think anyone's ever just like, on loop listening to something we've been saying? 0.96

01:34:27.000 There's infinite stupidity on the internet, so yes. 0.99

01:34:30.000 The difficult thing is low-order thinkers fall for these and then perpetuate them. 0.99

01:34:34.000 It was funny when we did the culture war debate on Friday and we got into an extra hour of

01:34:39.000 the show, three hours, talking about civil war.

01:34:41.000 We had Richard Spencer on the show and he was like, he said something like, I've only

01:34:45.000 ever seen the clips from leftists of you.

01:34:47.000 And I didn't realize you're actually talking about history and you've researched the subject matter.

01:34:52.000 And I was like, well, yeah, if you watch IRL, we talk great details about like, you know, Russia, France, Spain, US, etc.

01:35:01.000 But if you watch just clips from leftists, it's like three seconds of me saying Civil War or something.

01:35:06.000 They don't actually hear anything that's being said.

01:35:09.000 Clint Torres is the first super chat saying, howdy people!

01:35:09.000 Let's go.

01:35:12.000 As he always does.

01:35:13.000 Howdy Clint.

01:35:14.000 And then Token Black Guy with number two saying, howdy people. 0.87

01:35:17.000 There you go.

01:35:19.000 Big7588 says, DOJ filed elder abuse charges against Trump in anticipation of how badly he will thrash Biden.

01:35:19.000 All right.

01:35:25.000 Oh my gosh.

01:35:27.000 I honestly, you're like, it's not going to happen.

01:35:29.000 But if it did, I'd be like, well, you know, they're trying to charge him with everything.

01:35:33.000 I like that line.

01:35:34.000 I liked Phil's, the swamp runs through her veins.

01:35:40.000 Here's how it works.

01:35:45.000 Streamlabs OBS has a simulcasting function, but apparently you need to have a paid account, and you don't need to have one.

01:35:56.000 We would just be doing it through Restream, ideally.

01:36:01.000 Restream?

01:36:02.000 Yeah.

01:36:02.000 But we already have a system set up, and we don't want to go through a third-party web browser thing.

01:36:07.000 This is exactly what I'm talking about.

01:36:09.000 Behind the scenes, it's like, there's a bunch of different programs and different ways to do it, and there's pros and cons to each.

01:36:16.000 So we've been looking at this one for a couple months now, ever since YouTube deleted our top episodes.

01:36:21.000 And then we do simulcast the Tenet Media Show on Tenet.

01:36:25.000 They simulcast it on X and on YouTube.

01:36:28.000 And so we actually have a system built for that.

01:36:30.000 We just need to see what we can do.

01:36:33.000 Because when you're broadcasting out, depending on how you do it, You'll be streaming larger and larger amounts of data, so something to consider that when we do the stream.

01:36:45.000 But the plan for now is X Rumble and YouTube, but we will see, I don't know for sure.

01:36:50.000 That's the plan for now.

01:36:51.000 We just found this stuff out a couple hours ago, and then I was immediately like, okay, let's sort this out tomorrow when we have time or whatever, so we don't know what's going to happen, but that's the plan.

01:37:01.000 Greg Dubier says, let's see, what the hell is this Timcast bring back? 0.97

01:37:05.000 Brimcast? 0.78

01:37:06.000 She is a much better dictator. 0.99

01:37:08.000 Look, guys, I'm so appreciative for all the support for my dictatorship.

01:37:12.000 I want my coup to be gradual.

01:37:14.000 It's gotta have eras.

01:37:15.000 Sometimes I'm here, sometimes Tim's in charge.

01:37:17.000 Where's Shimcast? 0.96

01:37:18.000 Shimcast is lame and we never speak of it. 0.99

01:37:20.000 It just ditched us.

01:37:20.000 So you take that back right away.

01:37:21.000 No, honestly, I am appreciative of all the support and I'm glad that Tim can, you know, deal with a root canal and you guys are cool with it and not gonna be too upset about their replacement.

01:37:29.000 No, no, fortunately, the root canal was a long time ago.

01:37:33.000 What?

01:37:34.000 I didn't get a root canal on Thursday.

01:37:36.000 Well, you had a root canal issue on Thursday.

01:37:38.000 Yeah, it was from the root canal I already had.

01:37:41.000 We had an idea for a new coffee blend, and we're trying to figure out, because we're going to do, we're planning on doing Focus with Mr. Bocas, which is our espresso roast.

01:37:50.000 That will replace Mr. Bocas Pumpkin Spice Experience, which will be retiring.

01:37:53.000 We accidentally ordered extra Mr. Bocas, so it still exists, but once it's gone, it's gone forever.

01:37:58.000 But then we're going to do the espresso, which is focus with Mr. Bocas in memory of Mr. Bocas.

01:38:02.000 But then I was like, we've got to do one for Seamus.

01:38:04.000 And I'm talking about our cat.

01:38:06.000 And I was like, we should call it the real Seamus, and it's the cat.

01:38:09.000 And then we'll put like a picture of Seamus Coghlan in the corner looking up angrily at the cat.

01:38:15.000 Kind of confused Seamus, like, the real Seamus.

01:38:18.000 I love it.

01:38:19.000 Seamus 1 is the cat, and Seamus 2 is the cartoonist.

01:38:23.000 I have a brother named Seamus.

01:38:24.000 Oh, there you go.

01:38:25.000 So Irish of you. 0.99

01:38:25.000 He's Seamus 3. 0.99

01:38:28.000 All right, where are we at?

01:38:30.000 Jason Hutchinson says, no in-studio audience, control of mics, etc.

01:38:34.000 How do we know this debate will even be live and unedited?

01:38:37.000 I mentioned this earlier, it was a good super chat, Jason.

01:38:39.000 I agree.

01:38:42.000 They can do all sorts of tricks live.

01:38:44.000 They can do live editing with a delay.

01:38:46.000 So if it's live and they give themselves like a three or five minute delay, they can edit things that are said and nobody would know it wasn't live.

01:38:55.000 That's wild.

01:38:57.000 There's a lot of poker livestreams, and they're, like, two hours delayed.

01:39:01.000 Like, that's how big they— delays can go forever, and it's run like it's a livestream.

01:39:06.000 Now, granted, if they did a two-hour delay, the Trump team and everyone's gonna notice something's up, because they're like, hey, that was a while ago.

01:39:12.000 But if it's a minute or two, you won't notice.

01:39:15.000 Well, and they aren't— there's a lot of restrictions, and one of the restrictions is they're not allowed to talk to their aides during the commercial break.

01:39:21.000 So if there were delays or if there was an issue, no one could, like, tell— be like, Trump, they're cutting you off.

01:39:28.000 That helps Trump.

01:39:29.000 Oh, yeah.

01:39:30.000 I thought initially, oh, it helps Trump. 0.99

01:39:31.000 But if you're CNN and Trump's aides can't say, hey, they keep cutting you off or whatever else or they keep doing this with the camera to make you look stupid, like, then you can't prepare it. 0.96

01:39:40.000 So it's kind of interesting. 0.97

01:39:42.000 It'd be funny if they make Trump orange, like they put an orange light over him.

01:39:46.000 That's very obvious they're doing it, but they just do it anyway.

01:39:48.000 Just the whole debate gets more and more orange, like a developing self-tan.

01:39:52.000 I feel like post-debate, though, we're going to have amazing clips of the censorship, and then he's going to use that.

01:39:58.000 I mean, he just made how much money from the last attack on him, and now... I mean, I only see this being good for him.

01:40:06.000 People don't know this.

01:40:07.000 A lot of people don't know this.

01:40:09.000 I think everyone who listens to this show knows this.

01:40:11.000 The media would intentionally turn Trump orange.

01:40:14.000 They would take pictures of him, and they would put it in Photoshop, and they would skew the color so he would look really bright orange.

01:40:14.000 Yeah.

01:40:20.000 Wow.

01:40:21.000 There's one photo of him that was really notorious for this, where the original, he looks kind of normal.

01:40:25.000 I mean, he's got a spray tan.

01:40:27.000 But they made him look bright orange.

01:40:29.000 And then what happens is you get shows like Family Guy, that when they make their version of Trump, he's bright orange based off of the fake reality fed to them by the corporate press.

01:40:38.000 These people don't do any research.

01:40:39.000 They don't know better.

01:40:41.000 I'm just wondering what Biden we're going to get, because he's off in Camp David prepping right now.

01:40:45.000 So who knows?

01:40:46.000 Who knows what that means?

01:40:47.000 Are you saying Biden or Biden?

01:40:49.000 Yeah.

01:40:50.000 I wonder which one of the body doubles will be there.

01:40:52.000 No, I'm just kidding.

01:40:53.000 Of course, I think it'll be the real President Joe Biden.

01:40:55.000 It's like Hunter Biden in a wig.

01:40:57.000 I feel like that actually wouldn't be better.

01:41:00.000 I could be wrong.

01:41:01.000 That would be an amazing night.

01:41:03.000 I would be very excited to report on that.

01:41:06.000 Stephen Ellis says, anyone gonna point out that CNN Journal's name is Kay Hunt?

01:41:13.000 No.

01:41:13.000 That's interesting.

01:41:15.000 All right.

01:41:16.000 Let's, uh, let's go.

01:41:18.000 Vince says, how can the mods not be biased or a conflict of interest?

01:41:22.000 Dana Bash ex-husband was one of the 50 Intel officials that signed the letter saying the laptop was Russian disinfo.

01:41:27.000 Also works on White House Intelligence Board.

01:41:30.000 We got an on-air gasp from Phil about this.

01:41:32.000 Yeah.

01:41:33.000 So disgusting.

01:41:35.000 I think it should be one moderator from different networks.

01:41:37.000 The downside is that so many of the mainstream networks lean left, but theoretically it should be one Newsmax host and also the CNN.

01:41:45.000 We shouldn't tolerate people that are openly against one of the candidates, right?

01:41:50.000 So if you're going to go ahead and take a position, because it is totally possible for people to have an objective view of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

01:42:00.000 I personally cannot, but other people can.

01:42:03.000 And the idea that it's acceptable to put people that have literally worked against one of the candidates, and people that are married to people that are currently in positions with the intel community, or have been in positions with the intel community, because you never leave the intel community, they don't take your clearance away for no reason, so you keep it after you leave, and you still know all the people.

01:42:26.000 The idea that it's a...

01:42:28.000 A fair or legitimate platform to hold this? 0.99

01:42:33.000 It's ridiculous. 0.97

01:42:34.000 It's absurd. 0.99

01:42:34.000 And the American people should reject it out of hand. 0.99

01:42:36.000 But they've been propagandized since 2012 because of the NDAA.

01:42:40.000 This is a good one.

01:42:41.000 Cosmic Surgeon says, Trump needs to accuse Joe of ishing his pants at the debate.

01:42:46.000 No one will be there to argue it.

01:42:49.000 I agree.

01:42:50.000 Could you imagine if Trump's up on stage and they're like, former President Trump, you've recently said that you'll engage in the largest mass deportation effort once you become president.

01:43:00.000 What would this look like?

01:43:02.000 And how will you assure the American people that it'll be done constitutionally?

01:43:05.000 And then Donald Trump goes, look, you've got millions and millions.

01:43:09.000 Oh, oh, what?

01:43:11.000 That smell coming from Joe, is that you?

01:43:15.000 What would they do?

01:43:16.000 That would be hilarious.

01:43:17.000 It would be the greatest thing ever!

01:43:19.000 What could they do if that happened?

01:43:21.000 They would end it.

01:43:22.000 I feel like they would.

01:43:23.000 They would actually cut the stream.

01:43:25.000 They would be like, there's too much misinformation.

01:43:28.000 I think one of the things would be, you know, when Joe like slurs or stutters, like Trump could be like, are you all right, Joe?

01:43:33.000 Are you feeling OK?

01:43:34.000 I mean, but even saying it in the room is going to freak Biden out.

01:43:37.000 Like Biden can still hear him even if we can't.

01:43:39.000 It's true.

01:43:40.000 If Biden is giving an answer and he pulls a Trina Nash out of pressure, Trump can say something like, I'm not sure I understood what the former, what President Biden actually said.

01:43:49.000 Could we get some clarification?

01:43:51.000 I'm not sure why they agreed to do this without a live audience.

01:43:54.000 Legitimately, I don't get that.

01:43:57.000 Joe Biden doesn't like live audiences.

01:43:58.000 Yeah, but I feel like the Trump campaign really should have said, no, we're going to do it because then there's witnesses, then there's reactions.

01:44:06.000 And then I, for one, would love to have someone in the room that can tell me, yes, he said X, Y, Z, his mic wasn't on.

01:44:13.000 I feel like that would be really helpful and also just more entertaining.

01:44:18.000 So, Chafed BM, that's a great name, says, if Joe says something about Trump's fake convictions, Trump needs to call him out for showering with his 16-year-old daughter.

01:44:29.000 She wasn't 16 at the time.

01:44:30.000 Was she?

01:44:31.000 She was younger than that in the diary.

01:44:33.000 Yeah, she was like saying she was a little kid.

01:44:36.000 Her diary has been confirmed as real.

01:44:38.000 Yeah, but I also think the important thing to understand is the strategy with it.

01:44:42.000 I don't know that Trump going, Oh, yeah, Joe, well, your daughter says in a diary this, that or otherwise, and they get into a spitting match.

01:44:49.000 I really do think that if Joe Biden is giving an answer and he goes, Oh, yeah, yeah, Pat Cadillac, Pat Cadillac, Pat Cadillac, then they say, Trump, you know, how would you like to respond?

01:44:58.000 And he can say, I'm sorry, I could not understand what Joe had said.

01:45:03.000 Could we could we get him to repeat that?

01:45:05.000 Right.

01:45:05.000 And that will basically be Trump saying to the world, What did, like, the president can't speak?

01:45:11.000 And make sure it's a point that everyone has to pay attention to.

01:45:14.000 And every time Joe Biden garbles, Trump should say, with increasing frustration and concern, I'm concerned.

01:45:22.000 Actually, if I were Trump, I'd say, Jake, can you tell me what Joe just said back for me?

01:45:26.000 Because I'm not sure he's articulating himself clearly.

01:45:28.000 He's having trouble speaking.

01:45:29.000 Right.

01:45:30.000 I also think the biggest thing Trump needs to do in this debate is to not get distracted by any kind of personal jabs, you know, in terms of anything going on.

01:45:37.000 He needs to say over and over again, why are Americans struggling to buy food?

01:45:41.000 Why are their grocery bills so high?

01:45:42.000 Why are all of our fast food companies coming up with crazy deals to try and get Americans to spend money there?

01:45:48.000 Like, why is every American terrified of the results of your border crisis?

01:45:53.000 He just needs to keep Joe Biden answering for the crisis he has created in this country economically and in terms of national security.

01:45:59.000 and not get pulled into any like, well, people don't like you because of this thing, because

01:46:03.000 ultimately Joe Biden can't defend his record. People in chat are saying Joe Rogan should be

01:46:08.000 the moderator. Could you imagine? That would be amazing.

01:46:11.000 Joe would be like, President Trump, everyone is concerned about illegal immigration right now.

01:46:19.000 It's the number two issue according to Gallup.

01:46:21.000 What would you do in your next term that you're not doing now, and what could you do now?

01:46:26.000 and then when Joe says something like, we got a little crack, gotta look back, crack,

01:46:29.000 back, gotta like, Rogan's gonna go,

01:46:32.000 what?

01:46:33.000 Ha ha ha ha!

01:46:34.000 He literally would!

01:46:37.000 Jake Tapper is gonna be like, well, that's a very interesting question, President Biden.

01:46:41.000 Trump, how would you respond?

01:46:42.000 And Trump's gonna go, I have no idea what he said.

01:46:45.000 Can you tell me what he said?

01:46:46.000 And Jake's gonna be like, well, I'll leave it to the president to speak.

01:46:48.000 I won't put words in his mouth.

01:46:49.000 Oh, no, he'd probably be like, we need to clip that.

01:46:51.000 Well, what he said was, and gave like a very articulate response, and it's like, no, that's

01:46:54.000 not what he said.

01:46:55.000 You are lying.

01:46:56.000 That's going to happen, like legitimately will happen.

01:46:59.000 And the whole like, I'll let the president speak for himself is going to happen too.

01:47:03.000 What if, what, here's like, what if Trump and Biden come out on both sides?

01:47:07.000 They never actually meet or shake hands.

01:47:09.000 And then there's this big glass screen in front of Joe.

01:47:12.000 And then it turns out they're using that hologram technology.

01:47:15.000 You ever see that?

01:47:16.000 Where they put a glass screen on stage and then they project onto the glass a dead artist.

01:47:21.000 They did this with Tupac, didn't they?

01:47:22.000 Yeah, that's the one I'm thinking of.

01:47:23.000 And then you're like in the audience and it looks like it's three-dimensional and they're on stage.

01:47:26.000 And then they do this with like Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope.

01:47:30.000 When he talks to Luke through R2-D2 or something like that, that's the same thing.

01:47:36.000 Well, that didn't happen, but I get your point.

01:47:38.000 That was Princess Leia.

01:47:40.000 Talking through a hologram.

01:47:40.000 Oh, Princess Leia.

01:47:42.000 We're learning about so many other people's cultures today.

01:47:44.000 My Star Wars theory is all wrong.

01:47:45.000 See, we told you about Taylor Swift, you teach me about Star Wars.

01:47:49.000 I actually noticed something really interesting.

01:47:50.000 This is why men and women need each other.

01:47:51.000 Yes.

01:47:52.000 I noticed something.

01:47:53.000 I was just looking up the rules for the debate because I was curious if there was something else we missed.

01:47:56.000 They're not allowed to sit the whole time, which I'm so curious if Biden is going to that they've already replaced Joe Biden's skeleton with

01:48:02.000 metal. So he'll just be stuck up. Right. And then Trump has to rely on his actual human body. So, you

01:48:11.000 know, that's the trick. It is kind of weird, though, like, are they are they going to give Biden

01:48:16.000 like some kind of exosuit or something under his regular suit to keep his body upright if they

01:48:21.000 could. Biden's going to last minute change the rules so he can call in a second and like, beg Kendrick

01:48:26.000 Lamar to come handle this for him.

01:48:29.000 I'm legitimately getting excited.

01:48:31.000 They're not allowed to consult with their teams the whole time either.

01:48:34.000 I just, I don't see how Biden is going to.

01:48:37.000 I know.

01:48:37.000 This seems like it's all set up, but Trump goes off.

01:48:41.000 You put Trump in a room and say, Hey Trump, can you want to just talk for an hour?

01:48:44.000 And he's like, I'd love to.

01:48:45.000 And he's going to be like, how's it going?

01:48:46.000 We got a bunch of beautiful.

01:48:47.000 He just goes off.

01:48:48.000 Yeah.

01:48:48.000 Biden's going to be like.

01:48:51.000 That's why the CNN debate is the first one.

01:48:54.000 I'm sure the Biden team wanted that, right?

01:48:56.000 Yeah.

01:48:56.000 And also that means that the moderator is the one saying, oh, I'm cutting you off now.

01:49:00.000 Your mic is off.

01:49:01.000 Yeah.

01:49:01.000 Because Trump could literally take up the whole time.

01:49:03.000 What if this is on purpose?

01:49:05.000 And the point is they're setting up Biden to fail so they can force his removal.

01:49:10.000 What if and what if, what if?

01:49:12.000 They go, like the DNC goes to Biden and say, we want to get someone else to run.

01:49:17.000 You're not polling well, and you're too old, and he'd lose it.

01:49:19.000 He's like, no, you cannot do that.

01:49:21.000 We will not stand it.

01:49:22.000 I will not accept that.

01:49:23.000 I will not publicly resign.

01:49:24.000 And they're like, what do we do?

01:49:26.000 So they, you got to do a debate.

01:49:28.000 And then they're like, basically set it up so that Biden will fail miserably, and it'll force him to accept a resignation.

01:49:35.000 Honestly, I could see it.

01:49:36.000 It doesn't make any sense to me why they're letting him do this.

01:49:40.000 I would bet money that they won't let him do a second one.

01:49:44.000 The problem is no one can figure out how you get Kamala Harris out of there. 0.97

01:49:49.000 Yeah.

01:49:49.000 Because if Biden does say no, then what happens to Kamala?

01:49:52.000 Are we getting vice presidential debates this year?

01:49:55.000 Because Trump hasn't named his VP yet.

01:49:55.000 I don't know.

01:49:57.000 That would be... I want one.

01:50:00.000 Badly.

01:50:01.000 Normally we always get them.

01:50:02.000 Yeah, but if Trump picks like Tim Scott or Burgum, then no.

01:50:06.000 I'm not interested.

01:50:07.000 So who would be the best?

01:50:08.000 Vivek.

01:50:08.000 I don't know, man.

01:50:09.000 She could blow it no matter who it is. 0.99

01:50:11.000 No, I'm imagining on stage with Harris, who would do the best job?

01:50:13.000 Vivek.

01:50:14.000 Really?

01:50:15.000 Actually anyone at all.

01:50:16.000 A mannequin.

01:50:16.000 No, no, no, no.

01:50:18.000 Tim Scott and Burgum would be boring, and we'd be groaning like, no, no, if it was— I'm not saying Vivek would be the best VP, but Vivek on stage with Kamala Harris, it would be like watching Mike Tyson box a toddler.

01:50:32.000 What about J.D.

01:50:32.000 Vance and Kamala Harris?

01:50:34.000 I think he'd be good, too.

01:50:35.000 Yeah, he'd be good.

01:50:36.000 I think that they're both better than some options that are out there.

01:50:40.000 Again, I feel like I don't necessarily want Ramaswamy to be the VP, so I'm more likely to lean towards J.D.

01:50:45.000 Vance.

01:50:45.000 But there are a lot of quick-witted conservatives that could handle Kamala, whereas there really aren't that many.

01:50:53.000 Even if they could get her out for some reason, there aren't that many strong debaters from what I can see on the left. 0.89

01:51:00.000 We shall see.

01:51:00.000 All right, we got Paul Taskelos.

01:51:01.000 He says, the ACLU sued on behalf of Unite the Right in Charlottesville to help them secure a permit to protest in Lee Park.

01:51:10.000 First Amendment.

01:51:11.000 Doesn't the left think the ACLU are very fine people?

01:51:14.000 So when this happened, the backlash the ACLU received was so intense, they abandoned their entire organization's history and became woke leftists.

01:51:23.000 That was really the moment.

01:51:25.000 They defended the Klan—what was it? 0.66

01:51:27.000 They defended neo-Nazis in Skokie, Illinois, famously.

01:51:30.000 And they defended Unite the Right.

01:51:32.000 And then after the backlash from the left, they started losing a bunch of donors.

01:51:36.000 They just flipped 180.

01:51:40.000 And now, they sue to have—this is the funniest thing—they sue to protect pride flags in schools, but sue to keep the Ten Commandments out.

01:51:48.000 And it's like, OK, you're just a woke organization at this point because there's no underlying principle of speech behind doing something like that.

01:51:56.000 Right.

01:51:56.000 Either you get both or you get neither.

01:51:58.000 Which one is it?

01:51:59.000 They're always down to sue any abortion laws that inhibit Planned Parenthood in any way.

01:52:04.000 I mean, it's very clear there's a bias, which is too bad because, again, you know, it would be nice to have organizations that are like, we are here to uphold the principles of your rights, especially as we navigate more complicated technological times and as our culture changes.

01:52:19.000 All right.

01:52:20.000 Eldritchinator says, saw Justice Sotomayor speak at a college event once.

01:52:24.000 She gestured to the marshals and said, standing up wrong would make them nervous.

01:52:29.000 Shocked Antifa aloud at Justice's house, saw one threaten teens.

01:52:35.000 Interesting.

01:52:37.000 All right, we'll grab some more superchats here.

01:52:39.000 What do we got?

01:52:40.000 Matthew Vandersand says, post more skate vids.

01:52:43.000 I got my brother to follow you from the switch hardflip you posted.

01:52:46.000 That is indeed.

01:52:48.000 I posted a switch hardflip.

01:52:50.000 And that is a, for me, I landed that trick like in a couple tries and then we wanted to film it so I had to land it like four times again.

01:52:57.000 But we're doing for the Boonies, we have a playlist we're calling the Tricktionary because there's a lot of people who don't understand trick names in skateboarding.

01:53:09.000 So we are going to create a playlist of every single trick ever.

01:53:14.000 And you will be able to search for any trick and see its name and its explanation on YouTube.

01:53:19.000 And I filmed eight today in like 20 minutes.

01:53:23.000 So it's, here's what I did.

01:53:25.000 I did a fakie big spin, fakie 360 shove it, fakie 540 big spin, nollie hard flip, nollie 360 shove it, nollie backside 360 shove it, nollie self, and hang 10 shove it.

01:53:36.000 Those last two are more of a gag, but we do want to have the tricks in the playlist, so I did them anyway.

01:53:40.000 And then we're going to film a lot more.

01:53:43.000 We're gonna film a lot more skateboard stuff.

01:53:44.000 It's gonna be fun.

01:53:46.000 There you go.

01:53:46.000 Speaking a foreign language to anybody who doesn't know what I'm talking about.

01:53:49.000 And to add more to the foreign language, today I got my Nadu commander deck constructed in Magic the Gathering.

01:53:56.000 So Phil knows what I'm talking about there.

01:53:57.000 I'll try to be as esoteric as possible with the hobby stuff.

01:54:00.000 That was fun.

01:54:01.000 Tried it out. 0.87

01:54:01.000 The deck is ridiculous and I think it probably should be banned. 0.87

01:54:05.000 Are you going to the store in Martinsburg this weekend?

01:54:09.000 Oh, shout out to Mamba Collectibles in Martinsburg.

01:54:11.000 Maybe.

01:54:12.000 So they play Magic the Gathering Commander on Saturdays and they asked me to come.

01:54:17.000 I was like, I might be there.

01:54:18.000 It's right next to where we're doing the coffee shop anyway.

01:54:21.000 And so they're cool dudes.

01:54:23.000 And I said, if you play there, I might be there.

01:54:26.000 I think we probably will be there.

01:54:28.000 We'll see.

01:54:29.000 But we all have a lot of fun playing with the old Magic the Gathering cards. 0.97

01:54:32.000 Silly game. 0.92

01:54:34.000 Let's go. 0.95

01:54:34.000 Kyle Ellis says, Tim, it's Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight. 0.95

01:54:38.000 So if viewership is down, that's why.

01:54:41.000 Actually, viewership's pretty good.

01:54:42.000 I knew Edmonton was going to win, so I tuned in to you.

01:54:45.000 Here's 20 bucks.

01:54:46.000 Keep up the good work.

01:54:47.000 Well, thank you all so much.

01:54:50.000 All right.

01:54:52.000 Matthias Maeser says, Hi Hannah Clare, I superchatted on Thursday.

01:54:56.000 My name is pronounced Matthias and laser, but with an M. To clarify, I'm a machinist working nights.

01:55:01.000 Our boss doesn't watch and technically we only listen, but we still love y'all.

01:55:05.000 Oh, okay, cool.

01:55:05.000 He said that he's like, me and all of my co-workers watch every night.

01:55:09.000 And we're being like, how can you do that and also do your job?

01:55:12.000 But that's really interesting.

01:55:13.000 And it is cool that there would be like an office listening to a joint podcast.

01:55:16.000 I bet your conversation is really interesting.

01:55:17.000 This is actually one of the biggest challenges for us metric wise.

01:55:21.000 So, Timcast IRL is not a podcast.

01:55:23.000 It is a podcast, but it's not a podcast.

01:55:24.000 It's a primetime show, just like cable shows used to be.

01:55:29.000 Most of our viewership is, well, the largest singular viewership, of course, is the primetime live, but then we get, like, all the different, what I mean is, like, on YouTube, we get more than all their platforms, but all their platforms combined, it's like nine times more than just YouTube.

01:55:47.000 However, that's only in digital metrics.

01:55:49.000 The problem we run into is that we know for a fact around half or more of our audience are watching on their televisions with family and friends.

01:56:00.000 So whereas like most podcast numbers for most podcasts on standard iTunes and stuff, one view is one person.

01:56:08.000 They put their headphones in, they press play.

01:56:10.000 When it says in the metrics one, that's one person.

01:56:12.000 For us, we've run into this, we don't know how to track it, Because when we've surveyed people they're like, I actually watch with two or three other people and so they turn the show on their TV while they're sitting there living and while they're playing games while they're working and five to ten people might be listening off of one device and we can't track that.

01:56:31.000 But we can track, we figured this out accidentally when we assumed our numbers were the same as everybody else's and then our sales data came back for sponsorships Showing a significantly higher viewer rate.

01:56:44.000 At first, it was just considered a high, like, sell to viewer ratio, and like, wow, your show's better than everyone else's.

01:56:50.000 And then we realized, like, oh, actually, it's just that more people are watching than we can actually track in the traditional means.

01:56:55.000 So that's cool, I guess.

01:56:57.000 It's pretty cool.

01:56:57.000 You know?

01:56:58.000 But someone saying their whole office is watching is exactly it.

01:57:00.000 It's like, man, I don't know how to track that.

01:57:02.000 Which would be great!

01:57:04.000 Because we could sell better sponsorships, I guess.

01:57:08.000 All right, Jonathan Rosenthal said, my one-year-old son just said your name, Tim Poole, a.k.a.

01:57:14.000 Dido.

01:57:16.000 That's so cute.

01:57:17.000 All right, thank you very much.

01:57:19.000 I'll also add that, you know, I was skating today, and I felt like a million bucks, and then this thing happened where after I was done skating and ate dinner, I was walking to get socks, and all of a sudden my neck went, and I was like, what just happened?

01:57:31.000 And I couldn't move.

01:57:33.000 I was like, what?

01:57:34.000 I feel like a million bucks.

01:57:35.000 I got sports stretching and everything.

01:57:37.000 Took some ibuprofen and I can move again.

01:57:38.000 I guess it's getting old, right?

01:57:39.000 I don't know, man.

01:57:40.000 Maybe you're dehydrated.

01:57:41.000 It's so hot out, people are like, electrically driving.

01:57:43.000 Oh, that's probably it.

01:57:45.000 It's the heat.

01:57:46.000 It's the heat wave.

01:57:46.000 That's probably it.

01:57:47.000 There's a lot to be said for people, like, for being hydrated.

01:57:51.000 Like, most people walk around a little bit on the dehydrated side, so it's a good idea.

01:57:54.000 Well, especially today because we have the new mini ramp.

01:57:57.000 And they still have to shore up with concrete footers, but it's like 85 and I was skating outside.

01:58:03.000 And skating in that hot, my heart rate was at 185 for like 20 minutes while I was outside, because it's trying to regulate the heat in your body.

01:58:13.000 Awesome.

01:58:13.000 And if you watch the weather reports on the heat waves, it's also the humidity, which makes everything feel at least 10 degrees hotter.

01:58:20.000 I mean, it's a big deal.

01:58:21.000 Yeah, I went to bed like two hours early last night after my workout.

01:58:24.000 It's too much, this heat.

01:58:27.000 Alright, Bill Hoekstra says the Taylor Swift thing is a major problem with social media and mainstream media doing out of context cheap fakes.

01:58:34.000 Look at more than a 60 second clip.

01:58:36.000 Reels and TikTok.

01:58:37.000 Messing with the hive mind.

01:58:38.000 Sunk in the phone.

01:58:40.000 I'll give a shout out to that show Evil, which is like weirdly okay.

01:58:44.000 Like a C plus show, but it's kind of woke.

01:58:46.000 Because they did an episode where everyone's going psychotic because of TikTok, and I actually really, really respected the episode. 0.99

01:58:53.000 So they're investigating, this show is like they investigate possessions, and they find some woman who posts videos of her kids being haunted, and then one kid gets slashed in the back, and he's bleeding, and then they show up, because it was live-streamed, and they're like, how did you live-stream?

01:59:07.000 She's like, I didn't do this, I don't know what's going on.

01:59:09.000 And then, it's kind of obvious, she's lying, duh, and she's actually slicing her kids up on camera for views. 0.98

01:59:18.000 Oh my god.

01:59:19.000 And when they confront her about it, like, we have the raw video footage of you doing this, she turns the livestream on and then starts acting like she's possessed and then tries to attack them.

01:59:29.000 Oh my gosh.

01:59:29.000 So it's like the social media version of Munchausen by Proxy.

01:59:33.000 It was literally a Munchausen by Proxy thing.

01:59:36.000 I was actually impressed with that episode.

01:59:38.000 Plot twist though, she's actually possessed because who does that? 0.67

01:59:41.000 Nope, she was not possessed.

01:59:42.000 The show's weird.

01:59:44.000 They act like there's demons, but they always find out it's not demonic.

01:59:49.000 It was a mom physically abusing her kids to get attention on social media and I was like and then it ends with them like shoving turning their phones off putting them away and being like and it was literally it was called it was called like vid pic or something I don't know but it was tik-tok it was like they're watching the videos and swiping and and then at the end they're like this is making people psychotic and they turn it off and I'm like thank you yeah yes yes yes yes oh my gosh oh my god yeah shout out also I've been watching the boys have you guys watched that?

02:00:18.000 Okay, I like the show, but it's clearly written by a liberal, woke leftist who thinks they're being fair.

02:00:28.000 What is the show?

02:00:29.000 The Boys on Amazon Prime.

02:00:31.000 It's a superhero show, but it's kind of realistic and gritty.

02:00:34.000 The guy, he's like Superman, basically.

02:00:37.000 He's called Homelander, and he's Donald Trump.

02:00:39.000 And so that's his whole arc, is he's basically Trump, and he's, you know, it's weird.

02:00:46.000 But they really, really overdo it.

02:00:48.000 So they have a character on the show now who's saying, like, F around and find out.

02:00:53.000 In the background, in one of the episodes, they're like, Alex Jones' lookalike contest will be in three hours.

02:00:58.000 I've heard that the writer of the show has been quoted as saying, didn't you know we were making fun of you all the time, conservatives, blah blah blah.

02:01:10.000 Yes, but the character Firecracker, spoiler alert I guess, I'm going to say it anyway because the show is coming on, but the character Firecracker who's basically, she's like a conservative personality and she's spreading misinformation or whatever.

02:01:23.000 Some of it's not.

02:01:24.000 The motivation for her though, this is interesting.

02:01:27.000 They clearly depict all the right-wing people as super psychotic flat-earthers and other nonsense which isn't real.

02:01:34.000 And so this character, Firecracker, hates the character Starlight.

02:01:36.000 Starlight's one of the main characters, and she's played by the Erin Moriarty woman, who's got massive plastic surgery, by the way. 0.87

02:01:42.000 Remember that?

02:01:43.000 When everyone was like, what happened to her, and she denied it?

02:01:46.000 You can clearly look at the last season and this season and be like, yo, she got it.

02:01:50.000 Okay, that's my opinion.

02:01:51.000 Bad plastic surgery.

02:01:52.000 No, they all do.

02:01:53.000 But it's bad.

02:01:54.000 Like, she's talking like this with her lips out.

02:01:56.000 Anyway, I digress. 0.94

02:01:58.000 So they make the conservatives seem like really dumb and bad guys, but the motivation for Firecracker is that the main character is supposed to be the nice liberal one. 0.99

02:02:07.000 She got an abortion. 0.99

02:02:09.000 When they were little, she insulted the girl in public, like in front of a bunch of other people at a pageant, calling her a whore or something and claiming to all the other girls that she was in a gangbang and something like that. 0.99

02:02:20.000 Like really awful bullying of some... And so that was the motivation for the right-wing character.

02:02:26.000 And I'm like, It's clearly a liberal who thinks they're being fair.

02:02:30.000 Like, well, Starlight was really awful to her and was bullying her when she was little, and she's going to retaliate, but they depict them in the wrong way.

02:02:35.000 Anyway, we'll talk more about other really gross stuff, I guess, in the Members Only show.

02:02:44.000 We're going to need your support heading into election season, because we've already dealt with a couple lawsuits in the past couple of months, and those, I am proud to say, resolved, as far as I know, and that's good news.

02:02:58.000 And we're definitely going to be dealing with more, because this is politics.

02:03:02.000 And we are not the biggest political show, but we're one of them.

02:03:06.000 And we have, on average, the largest live audience for our time slot here on YouTube Live.

02:03:11.000 And that's probably why they reached out about the CNN debate thing, because they don't want us to fact-check it, to counter.
