Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Democrat ACTBLUE In CHAOS, Theories Over DOGE Cutting SLUSH FUND Go Wild w-Hotep Jesus | Timcast IRL

00:00:17.000 So the Elon Musk guy, right?

00:00:19.000 He sends in these doge fellers into USAID and other government agencies and starts gutting the funding for what seems to go to a lot of these weird NGOs. 0.91

00:00:29.000 We speculate much of this funding was probably circulating in Loudoun County and just outside of D.C. and Maryland.

00:00:36.000 Then we get this other really big story.

00:00:38.000 Lee Zeldin, now in the EPA, says they've uncovered a $375 billion slush fund run by John Podesta.

00:00:46.000 This is a Democrat guy.

00:00:47.000 And that there were some non-profits that just got started within a month.

00:00:51.000 One month later, they received a $7 billion grant from the government.

00:00:55.000 They've since frozen this money.

00:00:57.000 At the same time, there are searches all over D.C. for criminal lawyer, fraud, and I'll be light here, but let's just call it self-harm.

00:01:09.000 People are deeply worried in these areas for some reason.

00:01:13.000 A big story popped up yesterday.

00:01:15.000 ActBlue, the subject of, let's just say, scrutiny among Republicans and investigators, people like James O'Keefe.

00:01:25.000 ActBlue is the fundraising machine for Democrats.

00:01:29.000 James O'Keefe uncovered over the past several years instances where elderly individuals had reportedly made hundreds of thousands of donations they couldn't possibly have made.

00:01:38.000 Questions arose around how is it that ActBlue was...

00:01:43.000 Claiming these things are legitimate, actually facilitating these payments.

00:01:46.000 I mean, some retiree couldn't have spent $700,000 in one year doing 17 donations per day.

00:01:51.000 That makes no sense.

00:01:52.000 Now, we don't know exactly what's going on.

00:01:54.000 We are waiting for the results of that investigation.

00:01:57.000 In the meantime, while all of this Doge stuff is happening, it may just be totally unrelated, but the New York Times runs a story about how ActBlue is facing internal chaos and is struggling to continue losing several, seven, Specifically, top officials.

00:02:14.000 Instantly, the internet erupts with theories that this money, these slush funds that were making these weird donations, were effectively running a circuitous money laundering scheme, which, let's just say, somehow found its way into the pockets of the ActBlue system to Democrat politicians.

00:02:31.000 I am not saying that's true.

00:02:32.000 I'm not saying we know for sure.

00:02:33.000 I'm saying basically that's the degree of speculation we're seeing because all of this is going on at the same time.

00:02:38.000 I think that's an important disclaimer.

00:02:40.000 We're going to take a look at this story and a bunch of other news stories.

00:02:44.000 And we got one that's really interesting.

00:02:45.000 Apparently, AOC had employed an illegal immigrant, and they've since fled the country.

00:02:52.000 So this is actually pretty interesting.

00:02:54.000 And then you've got a few other stories, but you have the big push from Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire to get Derek Chauvin pardoned at the federal level.

00:03:02.000 Trump has responded, saying, I haven't heard this.

00:03:04.000 And that was it.

00:03:05.000 Yet, strangely, the media is running a narrative.

00:03:09.000 About Derek Chauvin, despite the fact that Trump hasn't engaged with it, and they're claiming Trump has issued a verdict on whether he will or he won't, saying he wouldn't, but Trump never said anything.

00:03:19.000 So we'll talk about that and a bunch of other stuff, my friends.

00:03:21.000 Before we get started, make sure you go to castbrew.com.

00:03:23.000 Buy delicious cast brew coffee.

00:03:24.000 Where's Ian's graphene dream at right now?

00:03:27.000 My God, he sold 500 bags of coffee this week.

00:03:31.000 And you know what it is?

00:03:31.000 It's because I just did that.

00:03:33.000 Because I look at the number and I'm like, how did he sell 500 bags of coffee?

00:03:36.000 And then people hear that and they're like, I better buy it before it runs out.

00:03:39.000 I know.

00:03:40.000 But legit, Ian's Graphene Dream at Casper.com.

00:03:44.000 Ian's making bank.

00:03:45.000 I'll just put it that way.

00:03:46.000 You guys are putting him through college.

00:03:47.000 You know he needs it.

00:03:48.000 But you can also check out Appalachian Nights, which, to be fair, sells comparably.

00:03:51.000 Sells comparably.

00:03:52.000 Actually, I'm pretty sure the Appalachian Nights is ahead of Ian's Graphene.

00:03:56.000 I think that's actually based on sales.

00:03:58.000 So I think Appalachian Nights is probably still selling better than Graphene Dream.

00:04:01.000 But I'm pretty sure Graphene Dream is going to overtake it very soon.

00:04:11.000 Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to talk about something.

00:04:13.000 I had a conversation with Dr. Malone and Del Bigtree after we wrapped the Culture War show this morning about the next big play that's going to hit the media in the next couple of years.

00:04:24.000 And the gist of it was, I outlined the tactics being employed right now and the errors being made on our side of the media battle.

00:04:35.000 That will ultimately end up with mass bannings and will get us shut down. 1.00

00:04:40.000 So the people who think the free speech battle is over because Trump won, because Mark Zuckerberg made these statements, I'm telling you, you're wrong.

00:04:46.000 And we'll get into this.

00:04:46.000 We will.

00:04:47.000 My response was Rumble has to win.

00:04:53.000 And we've got the Green Room podcast.

00:05:06.000 And we're actually working on feature-length documentaries and more.

00:05:08.000 You'll also get access to Stephen Crowder's Mug Club and a whole lot more.

00:05:11.000 So we're definitely going to talk about this because, guys, I made one simple statement to Dr. Malone, and you know he's the expert.

00:05:19.000 And he immediately said, you are completely right, and I don't understand why we're not seeing action.

00:05:25.000 And I'm going to save it because I want to make sure I get the full context.

00:05:28.000 I can't just – it's basically having to do with how these YouTubers are selling ads as it pertains to the FDA. I think we're going to see a wave of bans come the next couple of years, and we're going to talk about that on the show later on.

00:05:40.000 We'll get to the main news first.

00:06:17.000 Maybe we have to be there, yeah.

00:06:18.000 There was some I'd say yes, but with the recent addition to my family, Like, basically, I'm not even...

00:06:24.000 Congrats, man.

00:06:25.000 I appreciate it.

00:06:25.000 Yeah, you got a little boy, right?

00:06:27.000 Little girl.

00:06:27.000 Little girl?

00:06:28.000 Okay.

00:06:29.000 Yeah, Allison's working very, very hard, and so I'm not going to go out and just...

00:06:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:06:32.000 But we'll see what happens by then.

00:06:33.000 I think maybe we'll be good.

00:06:34.000 It's tough.

00:06:35.000 It's tough when you have...

00:06:35.000 It's good work.

00:06:36.000 It's fun, though.

00:06:37.000 Yeah.

00:06:38.000 Cherish these years.

00:06:39.000 Absolutely.

00:06:39.000 Yeah.

00:06:40.000 We're having fun.

00:06:40.000 We just watched...

00:06:41.000 We hung out on the couch today in between shows.

00:06:44.000 Got to stay there and...

00:06:45.000 She was making gurgling sounds.

00:06:47.000 It was enjoyable.

00:06:48.000 Yeah, once they start moving and talking, it's not as fun.

00:06:53.000 Well, man, thanks for hanging out.

00:06:55.000 It's going to be fun.

00:06:56.000 We got Brett hanging out.

00:06:57.000 Guys, it is Brett.

00:06:58.000 Normally on Pop Culture Crisis, Monday through Friday at 3 p.m.

00:07:01.000 Let's talk about politics.

00:07:03.000 Hello, everybody.

00:07:03.000 My name is Phil Labonte.

00:07:04.000 I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band, All That Remains.

00:07:06.000 I'm an anti-communist and counter-revolutionary.

00:07:08.000 Let's go.

00:07:08.000 Here's the story from The New York Times.

00:07:11.000 Act Blue.

00:07:12.000 The Democratic fundraising powerhouse faces internal chaos.

00:07:16.000 At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans.

00:07:23.000 I'll say two things to start.

00:07:25.000 The first, there's a theory that with the gutting of USAID and other federal funds, a lot of these grants, especially the EPA slush fund that Lee Zeldin uncovered, a lot of this money is believed by many.

00:07:38.000 Whether or not there's any veracity to this, that it was funneling around NGOs and finding its way into the pockets of Democrat politicians.

00:07:44.000 That may or may not be the case.

00:07:46.000 At any rate, the other thing to consider is, definitively, ActBlue, which is the Democrats' fundraising arm, is in chaos, indicating a very, very...

00:07:57.000 Let's just put it this way.

00:07:59.000 The likelihood that they're able to muster up any forces in the midterms is decreasing, especially when we're learning that the mechanism they use to raise money...

00:08:07.000 Is under fire.

00:08:09.000 And then I'll say this.

00:08:11.000 On Fox News today, it was, I believe, Cassie Hunt who asked Tim, I believe it was Tim Waltz, one of the best questions I've seen anybody ask the Democrats in recent memory.

00:08:22.000 She said, who's the current leader of the Democratic Party?

00:08:25.000 And you know what Waltz said?

00:08:27.000 The American voting public.

00:08:29.000 And she made a face. 1.00

00:08:31.000 And I said, whoa.

00:08:32.000 And then I stopped and thought about it.

00:08:34.000 I want to ask you guys just right now and everybody listening.

00:08:37.000 Who is the leader of the Democratic Party?

00:08:39.000 I think you asked that question, like, one or two times ago when I was here, and I had no idea.

00:08:45.000 I think Hakeem Jeffries seems like the most reasonable.

00:08:49.000 Like, we were talking about how before...

00:08:51.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:08:51.000 I'm sorry, sorry.

00:08:52.000 I gotta pause you.

00:08:53.000 Not who is projected to be.

00:08:56.000 Literally right now.

00:08:57.000 Like, we know the head of the Republican Party is Donald Trump.

00:09:00.000 Well, even before Trump did his address to Congress, right, and Hakeem Jeffries asked everyone, he's like, please don't bring props. 0.93

00:09:08.000 Please don't bring props and make a fool out of yourself on national television.

00:09:13.000 And then they all went and did that.

00:09:14.000 It's like he was the only person who had a sane thought in the matter.

00:09:17.000 So the question, I believe the answer is there isn't one.

00:09:21.000 I disagree.

00:09:23.000 You think there's a leader?

00:09:24.000 Who did Henry Kissinger say is the perfect person to usher in the new world order?

00:09:29.000 Don't know who.

00:09:31.000 Barack Obama.

00:09:32.000 I think that's what I said.

00:09:33.000 Honestly, that's what I said last time.

00:09:35.000 Barack Obama running the show.

00:09:36.000 And I'm going to disagree.

00:09:38.000 When Obama was president, it was not abject chaos.

00:09:43.000 Things weren't falling apart.

00:09:44.000 ActBlue wasn't crumbling.

00:09:45.000 There was no mixed messaging.

00:09:48.000 The Democrats obstructing the State of the Union, not State of the Union.

00:09:53.000 Was a gift to Republicans.

00:09:54.000 So unless Obama's plan is, I'm going to make the Republicans more powerful, then he's not a leader of the Democrats.

00:10:00.000 And if he actually is running the show, he's the poorest leader we've ever seen, which flies in the face of when he was actually president.

00:10:05.000 Isn't it weird how we...

00:10:08.000 Oh, go ahead.

00:10:08.000 You can argue he was...

00:10:10.000 My theory is that they bombed the last election on purpose because I don't believe in...

00:10:15.000 I know it's a uniparty. 0.75

00:10:17.000 You can't pull the wool over my eyes.

00:10:18.000 But my theory is that they're actually burning down the Democratic Party to make the right-wing party stronger to bring about a different type of fascism.

00:10:28.000 Maybe.

00:10:29.000 And these sweeping changes that you're starting to see, the technocracy, etc., etc.

00:10:33.000 Let's read this tweet from Charlie Kirk.

00:10:35.000 He says, The New York Times reports that ActBlue is in turmoil.

00:10:39.000 Mysteriously, seven top executives have all left in the past three weeks.

00:10:43.000 Several of whom had all been there more than a decade.

00:10:45.000 None of them will explain on the record why they left.

00:10:47.000 The last remaining lawyer at ActBlue's general counsel's office has been locked out of his email and put on leave after sending internal messages that, quote, we have whistleblower policies for a reason.

00:10:59.000 Two unions representing ActBlue employees are openly questioning the group's stability and call the situation alarming.

00:11:04.000 They're demanding the hiring of an independent investigator.

00:11:07.000 More than $16 billion has passed through ActBlue in the past 20 years.

00:11:10.000 What could they possibly be hiding?

00:11:12.000 Well, we've got a couple stories to give examples.

00:11:15.000 We have this.

00:11:16.000 From October of 2024, Treasury finds hundreds of transactions linked to fundraising platform ActBlue flagged by banks.

00:11:24.000 GOP memo.

00:11:24.000 Interesting, but I don't know that so.

00:11:27.000 Then we have this.

00:11:28.000 From the Daily Signal.

00:11:29.000 Where does the money come from?

00:11:31.000 Elderly Democrats say donations made in their name aren't genuine.

00:11:34.000 From January 8th, 2025. Now, this story actually goes back quite a bit.

00:11:37.000 When James O'Keefe exposed numerous instances.

00:11:41.000 Where individuals were making some, what, 5 to 10 donations per day of $20 to $25 to the tune of hundreds of thousands for the year that made no sense.

00:11:50.000 The Daily Signal says, 18 registered Democrats in Connecticut all over the age of 70 appear to have donated $1.9 million to Democratic causes, including ActBlue, through hundreds of thousands of small donations from 2016 to 24, according to a review of FEC filings.

00:12:07.000 by Dominic Rapini, a cybersecurity company CEO and former Connecticut Republican candidate for office.

00:12:13.000 Curious about the donation patterns, Rapini tracked down some of the Connecticut residents and asked that they really did make thousands of small donations, sometimes multiple in a day through ActBlue.

00:12:22.000 Several of the supposed donors told Rapini they did not make any of the reported donations, nor did they know anything about how their names were being used.

00:12:29.000 An 88-year-old retired Yale University professor, for example, supposedly made 7,539 donations for a total of $213,163, according to FEC records.

00:12:41.000 After Rapini informed him about the significant donations in his name, he signed an affidavit saying, quote, I believe this does not reflect my donation frequency or dollars I have donated.

00:12:51.000 Now, I'll just say this.

00:12:52.000 The story goes on.

00:12:53.000 James O'Keefe uncovered something very similar, if not the exact same, but just in different places.

00:12:59.000 Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, this should be their target right now.

00:13:03.000 If you've got a man signing a sworn affidavit, I did not make these donations, then you've got money laundering going on, and that's a fact.

00:13:12.000 Is there not a way for them federally to look into the bank accounts tied to who made the donation?

00:13:18.000 Because obviously the name is attached, but if the name attached doesn't correspond with the bank account, is there a way to check into that?

00:13:24.000 I think maybe this is why, well, the theory is, and this is all just opinion, I have no idea, ActBlue is crumbling because with a new DOJ in town, namely a Cash Patel, the people at ActBlue are running as fast as they can.

00:13:39.000 But you don't think so?

00:13:40.000 You think it's one big machine?

00:13:42.000 Well, I think some of the stuff you said is absolutely spot on.

00:13:46.000 Right.

00:13:47.000 So when we're dealing with the Democrats, it's going to be a lot of fall guys.

00:13:52.000 Yep.

00:13:52.000 OK, a lot of people are going to go down who had orders from somebody else.

00:13:58.000 And, you know, Sharon, Lisa, Tanisha is going to take the blame.

00:14:03.000 We saw that happen in New Jersey.

00:14:06.000 Was it New York?

00:14:07.000 Some dude goes down.

00:14:09.000 For, you know, some scammy stuff that Democrats are doing with the votes, etc., etc.

00:14:14.000 But, at the end of the day, you know, I understand how the world works, okay?

00:14:19.000 I understand how the Western Empire works, okay?

00:14:22.000 There is a pendulum that swings from left to right, okay?

00:14:26.000 And we've seen this time and time again throughout history, okay?

00:14:31.000 The left has gotten way too strong.

00:14:33.000 It's gotten way too out of hand.

00:14:35.000 People are...

00:14:36.000 Pushing back against the leftist style, you know, the trans stuff, all of that stuff, right? 0.99

00:14:42.000 So what happens?

00:14:43.000 You swing things back to the right.

00:14:45.000 Now, I saw this happening because you saw the media started to come in a little bit more centered.

00:14:49.000 I don't know if you guys know that, but...

00:14:50.000 Well, even Jeff Bezos, he's getting the Washington Post to open up opinion columns about free markets, things like that, even though the fact that Bezos and Zuckerberg have historically were going very much the other direction when the winds were blowing the other direction.

00:15:04.000 Right.

00:15:05.000 And then you got Zuckerberg coming out.

00:15:06.000 He dressing like a rapper now.

00:15:08.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:15:09.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:15:10.000 You can't fool me.

00:15:12.000 So you start, and all these guys are popping up, you know, next to Trump, et cetera, et cetera.

00:15:16.000 So we're starting to see this swing to the right.

00:15:18.000 And there's a lot of assistance that's happening from the Democratic Party to help that move along.

00:15:24.000 You saw the canon of Jay Reed, Joanne Reed, I call her Jay Reed.

00:15:28.000 Got rid of her.

00:15:29.000 Then they brought the new black lady in there. 1.00

00:15:31.000 She's way more centered and makes more sense.

00:15:34.000 It's not so fringe.

00:15:36.000 You got Stephen A. Smith.

00:15:37.000 Stephen A. Smith is doing conversations with her.

00:15:40.000 He's got a huge contract extension with the addition of allowing him to talk about politics.

00:15:44.000 Don't you think that the swing of the voters has an effect on this?

00:15:51.000 I feel like the results of the election, considering how many...

00:15:57.000 Counties went for Republicans versus how many went for Democrats, which is...

00:16:02.000 I don't think they picked up any counties.

00:16:04.000 I think the Republicans picked up something like 20 counties nationwide or something like that.

00:16:10.000 And winning the House and winning the Senate.

00:16:13.000 Don't you think that that has an effect on why they're doing this?

00:16:16.000 Yeah, but I mean, can you give the voters that much credit when you got a dead body as a president? 1.00

00:16:21.000 And an idiot as the person that ran? 1.00

00:16:24.000 And she didn't even... 1.00

00:16:26.000 She didn't even get the votes to run. 1.00

00:16:28.000 They just installed her and said, oh, you're going to be the nominee. 0.75

00:16:30.000 Like, there was no...

00:16:32.000 Well, if it was something that it was...

00:16:36.000 There was no competition, is my point.

00:16:38.000 There was no competition.

00:16:39.000 The Democrats had nothing.

00:16:41.000 Yeah, but I don't think that that's because...

00:16:43.000 I don't think that's by design.

00:16:45.000 I think that they didn't have any leaders that were actually compelling to run.

00:16:50.000 That's why they went with Biden.

00:16:51.000 Well, they didn't go with Biden.

00:16:53.000 They got rid of Biden after the primary and all of that, and then they installed Kamala.

00:17:01.000 That was a terrible idea. 0.99

00:17:03.000 It was trash. 0.99

00:17:05.000 What I'm saying is that's why they went with Biden in 2020, because they didn't have someone that was a standout leader that was clearly going to beat Donald Trump. 0.98

00:17:15.000 Well, I think they got Biden because they couldn't get—he was familiar.

00:17:19.000 He was already in the White House.

00:17:21.000 You can get the Obamas to get behind him.

00:17:24.000 The black vote wasn't going nowhere because they already knew it was Biden.

00:17:28.000 That's their guy.

00:17:29.000 But doesn't that imply that that's the vote that's doing it and not like...

00:17:32.000 Yes, but the vote can be manipulated.

00:17:35.000 Not only through the Ag Blue stuff, right? 0.98

00:17:37.000 But the voting can be manipulated just based upon perception.

00:17:40.000 If you take somebody like Kamala Harris and you run her and they ask her a very simple question.

00:17:46.000 You know, what could you have done better?

00:17:48.000 This is a question you get when you apply for McDonald's.

00:17:51.000 You got to be ready to answer that question.

00:17:53.000 And she can't answer that question.

00:17:55.000 When they ask you and they say, yo, what's up with the president's mental health?

00:17:59.000 And you sit up there and you lie. 0.99

00:18:01.000 Everybody knows there's something wrong with the dude's brain.

00:18:03.000 So you get up there and you lie.

00:18:05.000 You can give the voters some credit, but...

00:18:08.000 Nobody's actually gonna vote for that.

00:18:10.000 Real quick, I gotta be honest.

00:18:12.000 When they asked Kamala on The View, they're like, what would you have done differently if she legit said, I think I would have kept the fries in the fryer for about 20 seconds longer?

00:18:21.000 I'd be like, that's an answer.

00:18:23.000 Instead, she's like, nothing.

00:18:24.000 Nothing.

00:18:25.000 You can't do that, right?

00:18:26.000 They have no introspection whatsoever, which is why things keep falling off a cliff.

00:18:31.000 Yeah, I agree with that.

00:18:32.000 That's why I feel like they just threw the fight.

00:18:36.000 I agree.

00:18:37.000 I think they threw the fight.

00:18:39.000 I think...

00:18:40.000 I still think they would have won if they just ran Biden.

00:18:42.000 Brain dead, no.

00:18:43.000 I don't think so.

00:18:45.000 There was people that, like, before the election, there were people the day before Googling, like, is Joe Biden still running?

00:18:51.000 If they had...

00:18:52.000 Look, if they had the votes, they wouldn't have the disarray they have now.

00:19:00.000 There's two factors, okay?

00:19:02.000 The prices of things...

00:19:04.000 Actually, three factors. 0.99

00:19:06.000 The prices of things, the dead body in the White House, and the fake black lady. 0.99

00:19:09.000 One, two, three, you out of here.

00:19:11.000 We did talk about this on the show.

00:19:13.000 When we were asking, why are they running with Biden?

00:19:16.000 Why are they running with Kamala?

00:19:17.000 And one of the potential scenarios was, they know they can't win no matter what they do.

00:19:23.000 So they're saying, don't waste any potential lineup we would have in the next 10 years.

00:19:29.000 Throw out a dead body and just see what we get.

00:19:33.000 Wait, so then why don't you, if they don't think they can win with Biden, why don't they just keep running him?

00:19:37.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:19:38.000 The reason why they ran Kamala is because of celebrity influence in the black community. 0.85

00:19:43.000 They were like, if we can pretend that she's black. 0.96

00:19:46.000 Then we can put on a fake facade of a campaign. 0.68

00:19:50.000 And they went super hard with it right away.

00:19:51.000 And they went super hard.

00:19:52.000 They got the booty shaker twerking on stage and all of that stuff. 1.00

00:19:56.000 So they were able to get some of that celebrity.

00:19:58.000 BET, for the first time, held a Black Men's Summit.

00:20:01.000 BET, I can't remember the last time they cared about black men. 1.00

00:20:03.000 They held a Black Men's Summit.

00:20:04.000 I'm like, what is this?

00:20:06.000 Not only that, to address what you said, why would they switch out Biden?

00:20:10.000 They put Kamala on the national stage and propped up for Democrats, and now there's rumors she's going to run for governor in California. 1.00

00:20:17.000 So they said, Biden's out.

00:20:19.000 There's nothing left in that.

00:20:20.000 You can't get blood from a stone.

00:20:23.000 However, we put Kamala on the stage.

00:20:24.000 She's going to lose, but it'll raise her profile.

00:20:26.000 Then she runs for governor in California, which is two to one Democrat.

00:20:29.000 She's going to win.

00:20:31.000 Okay.

00:20:31.000 Makes sense to me.

00:20:32.000 I mean, I still...

00:20:33.000 I still feel like the reason that the Democrats are in disarray, the reason that things are going on at ActBlue, not just because the Republicans won and you got people like Kash Patel, but it's because they have no leadership and they have no leadership because they don't know what their platform is anymore.

00:20:51.000 They have totally abandoned the working class. 1.00

00:20:55.000 They're not supporting middle America. 0.91

00:20:58.000 They're the party of the extremely wealthy and the extremely poor.

00:21:03.000 And they use those two groups against the average American, and they browbeat them with identity politics through multiple different ways, whether it be sexuality.

00:21:14.000 Yeah, I mean, all of it, basically.

00:21:16.000 Like you were saying yourself, when's the last time BET had a black man summit? 0.94

00:21:20.000 They don't like men. 1.00

00:21:21.000 The Democrats hate men. 0.94

00:21:22.000 And that's, you know, it's something that's fairly obvious.

00:21:25.000 So I want to jump to this story because it expounds upon the subject.

00:21:30.000 This is from Newsweek.

00:21:31.000 Gavin Newsom's podcast remarks sparks backlash from Democrats.

00:21:35.000 Gavin Newsom knows what he's doing.

00:21:37.000 You mentioned, Phil, that the Democrats don't have a platform anymore.

00:21:41.000 Gavin Newsom is, and I bet they discussed this a year ago, after Trump wins, assuming he does, we need to start rebuilding a Democrat identity and who's going to be in charge.

00:21:53.000 And as we were mentioning in the previous segment...

00:21:55.000 You mentioned MSNBC is bringing a new, more moderated Democrat.

00:21:58.000 Stephen A. Smith can talk politics.

00:22:00.000 Gavin Newsom sitting down with Charlie Kirk.

00:22:02.000 They are trying to realign.

00:22:04.000 They're going to moderate.

00:22:05.000 Now, the big play here, obviously, Gavin Newsom is getting backlash from Democrats.

00:22:12.000 They're probably going to come after me.

00:22:14.000 I say they, the Democrat machine, the political machine, the bureaucratic state is going to come after me hard for this segment we're about to do right now.

00:22:20.000 One of the biggest things that big mistakes are being made right now by the independent space.

00:22:26.000 They don't have standards and practices.

00:22:28.000 They don't have legal teams.

00:22:29.000 And the corporate press may have...

00:22:31.000 Here's what I think.

00:22:32.000 I'll give you a simple story.

00:22:34.000 Joe Rogan started to emerge with the Ustream show.

00:22:37.000 It got very popular.

00:22:39.000 Podcasts became prominent.

00:22:40.000 And the corporate press overlooked this.

00:22:42.000 If they wanted to stop the podcast presidency, they needed to make the move eight or nine years.

00:22:48.000 Before it actually happened.

00:22:50.000 Once Joe Rogan and many podcasts got as popular as they did, they lost control.

00:22:54.000 They tried censoring.

00:22:56.000 They shut down Paul Joseph Watson.

00:22:57.000 They shut down Laura Loomer.

00:22:58.000 They shut down Alex Jones.

00:22:59.000 But it still wasn't enough.

00:23:00.000 Audience were still flocking to this new medium that they did not invest in enough nor censor enough.

00:23:05.000 So what happens?

00:23:06.000 They start to realize, guys, we're going to lose this one.

00:23:08.000 So I think you're correct in that approaching 2024, they said, let's not waste any of our resources.

00:23:16.000 However.

00:23:17.000 Many people on the right have made tremendous errors in not actively paying attention to their standards and practices, namely around two big things.

00:23:26.000 One, the simple one that's not as big a deal is how they approach fair use issues and citation and copyright.

00:23:34.000 That's not going to be as big a deal.

00:23:36.000 But the big issue is, in this new podcasting space, ads are being sold which are illegal.

00:23:43.000 And many individuals on the right are reading pharmaceutical ads, and they're reading ads for finance without looking into federal law.

00:23:52.000 After we wrapped up the Culture War podcast this morning, I was talking to Del and Dr. Malone, and I mentioned this.

00:23:59.000 I said, we've had companies pitch to us.

00:24:02.000 I don't want to name the companies, so if you guys know what I'm talking about here, I don't want to drag anybody or get into any litigation.

00:24:07.000 But there are people right now in the independent media space, pro-Trump.

00:24:12.000 Anti-establishment who have been doing ad reads for prescription medications.

00:24:16.000 That is heavily regulated by the FDA. And the first thing Dr. Malone said to me was, I saw this too.

00:24:22.000 I don't understand.

00:24:23.000 Why is it the FDA going after them right now?

00:24:25.000 I mean, this is heavily regulated.

00:24:27.000 You can't just advertise prescription drugs.

00:24:29.000 In some instances, it's illegal.

00:24:30.000 I said finance as well.

00:24:32.000 There are a lot of people that are doing ad reads for financial services not realizing there are federal requirements as to what you're supposed to do if you are selling an ad or doing a read.

00:24:41.000 And so the question then was, why aren't these agencies or anybody doing anything about it?

00:24:46.000 Here's what I think.

00:24:47.000 Here's what I said to him.

00:24:48.000 I don't think the federal regulators under Donald Trump are going to start banning conservative and anti-establishment podcasters.

00:24:55.000 No, no.

00:24:56.000 No, YouTube will, though.

00:24:57.000 YouTube is going to start nuking some massive channels with five-plus million subscribers who have been doing this.

00:25:03.000 And big shows are going to get caught off guard right before the midterms or right before 2028. It's going to be sporadic.

00:25:09.000 It won't be all at once. 0.99

00:25:10.000 It won't be a mass wave because they're not stupid. 0.76

00:25:13.000 It's going to be a decently sized podcast. 0.99

00:25:15.000 We'll get a strike.

00:25:17.000 And YouTube's going to say, well, you were running ads for pharmaceuticals.

00:25:21.000 That's actually against the rules, against the law.

00:25:24.000 There have been several instances where sales reps have come to me and said, what do you think about this product?

00:25:28.000 And I go, Kellen, look up the rules.

00:25:30.000 Look up the law.

00:25:31.000 He comes back and says, that product's banned.

00:25:32.000 I say, thank you, but no thank you.

00:25:34.000 And they go, they respond to me.

00:25:35.000 Here's a list of everyone who's already done it.

00:25:37.000 Yep.

00:25:39.000 Every time I say, look, we have standards and practices here to a limited degree, like we have lawyers, we have legal teams, we check the laws on these things, and we have a team that goes through what is and is not allowed to be advertised on whichever platform.

00:25:50.000 YouTube has two sets of rules for this, AdWords and YouTube.

00:25:54.000 And every time the company says, here's a list of prominent YouTubers who have already done the ad read, and I responded to them, that's great that other people are breaking the law and going to get themselves banned, but that doesn't mean we'll do it.

00:26:06.000 And they say, you're leaving a lot of money on the table.

00:26:08.000 I say, sure am.

00:26:09.000 So then the question is, why hasn't any of these platforms banned these people just yet?

00:26:15.000 Now is not the time.

00:26:17.000 You ban a big creator right now, what do you accomplish?

00:26:20.000 However, within a couple months of an election, you ban a prominent Trump supporter like they were with Alex Jones and those people back then.

00:26:28.000 You're going to start having a visible dent.

00:26:35.000 I think we're going to see sporadic bans.

00:26:40.000 And the narrative will then emerge.

00:26:42.000 So-and-so got banned from YouTube.

00:26:44.000 Big channel with 3 million subscribers.

00:26:46.000 A huge show.

00:26:47.000 And then they're going to be on X. This is unfair.

00:26:50.000 And then YouTube's going to come out and say, here's a list of 17 times they did an ad for a prescription drug in violation of federal law.

00:26:57.000 And we only were just made aware of it.

00:26:59.000 This is not political.

00:27:00.000 They were selling drugs.

00:27:02.000 And they are doing it.

00:27:04.000 There are prominent podcasters selling drugs right now.

00:27:07.000 I would say many of them illegally.

00:27:09.000 And again...

00:27:10.000 You hit nail on the head.

00:27:12.000 That's exactly what's going to happen.

00:27:13.000 I've been saying on my podcast, the Griff report, I said, yo, listen, the Democrat recovery program is built into the right wing.

00:27:22.000 Yep.

00:27:23.000 The mistakes of the right...

00:27:25.000 You know how politics go.

00:27:26.000 Nobody really talks about their platform.

00:27:27.000 They just go, hey, look what that guy did wrong.

00:27:29.000 So that's what they're going to do.

00:27:30.000 They're going to wait.

00:27:31.000 Let all the Republicans make all these mistakes.

00:27:33.000 We're going to be talking about one of the mistakes later in the show.

00:27:35.000 But the other thing is the Democrats actually don't even have to have a platform.

00:27:39.000 They're going to sit back and let the Republicans create their platform.

00:27:43.000 Because, for example, when you go look back in the day, they had something called the anti-Mason party.

00:27:48.000 And the anti-Mason party was starting to galvanize votes.

00:27:50.000 Then they brought a candidate in.

00:27:53.000 That candidate picked up the anti-Mason talking points.

00:27:55.000 Anti-Mason party goes away.

00:27:57.000 So all the Democrats have to do is sit back and wait, see what people care about, see what Republican talking points they got, and then compete on those same talks.

00:28:08.000 So, on top of that, as you already mentioned, Hotep, they've got the moderation happening.

00:28:15.000 Gavin Newsom agreeing with Charlie Kirk on core anti-wokeness, you know, anti-gender ideologies.

00:28:20.000 Yeah, a big switch.

00:28:21.000 Then what we're going to see is the mass investment into podcasts like this.

00:28:27.000 One of the things I mentioned to Del and Dr. Malone was...

00:28:30.000 Rachel, and I said this on the show, Rachel Maddow getting $25 million a year is money flushed down the toilet. 0.99

00:28:35.000 You give $5 million, it is.

00:28:37.000 Nobody watches her show.

00:28:38.000 It's no disrespect, but her audience is predominantly 70+.

00:28:42.000 Some disrespect.

00:28:42.000 Some.

00:28:43.000 But I mean no disrespect to the elderly.

00:28:45.000 But you take $5 million.

00:28:47.000 You choose any one of the top liberal podcasters.

00:28:50.000 You say, here are the talking points.

00:28:53.000 Gender ideology is out. 0.67

00:28:54.000 We don't want none of that.

00:28:55.000 We're for the working class.

00:28:56.000 We're moderating.

00:28:57.000 Here's your talking points.

00:28:58.000 Here's five million dollars.

00:29:00.000 And here's twenty million dollars in Google and Billboard and TV ads.

00:29:03.000 You will now be the biggest podcast in the world so long as you stay within these confines.

00:29:07.000 You know these people are going to say yes.

00:29:09.000 At the same time, tons of prominent independent podcasters are going to start going.

00:29:15.000 Popping across the board, channels getting shut down, and it's never going to be political.

00:29:19.000 They're going to come out and they're going to say, we have no choice but to shut this channel down because they were doing financial ads without proper financial disclosures required by law.

00:29:29.000 And they did it 53 times over the course of four or five years.

00:29:32.000 So I think we'll see a series of things.

00:29:36.000 For one, how we've seen censorship occur on Twitter before it was X and on YouTube is.

00:29:40.000 If you're a small to mid-channel, you get nuked instantly without warning.

00:29:44.000 Right.

00:29:44.000 If you're a bigger channel, they'll give you a warning, take down 17 of your videos, and then say, well, you broke the rules, and try and push you to the brink where they can make the ban not be a big splash.

00:29:57.000 I think we're going to see big channels get banned.

00:29:59.000 I think it's going to be, first, it's going to be as simple as we issued a strike on this channel and a two-week suspension of live streaming and uploading because they sold drugs.

00:30:09.000 We are not banning them, but this is illegal.

00:30:12.000 And it's going to be right in the midterm period.

00:30:13.000 You do that 100 times to some of the top podcasts, and you have put a dent in the narrative machine for the right.

00:30:21.000 You don't need to ban them outright.

00:30:22.000 You need to create enough negative pressure so that more people get the liberal podcast in a moderated view and less people get the right anti-establishment podcasts.

00:30:30.000 Boom.

00:30:31.000 Nailed it.

00:30:31.000 Do you think that this is him, Gavin Newsom, gearing up for 2028?

00:30:34.000 Yeah.

00:30:35.000 Absolutely.

00:30:36.000 People are going to forget.

00:30:38.000 People have such short attention spans, and he's likable enough to the politically uninitiated that all of the things that have gone wrong in California just won't register with a lot of people.

00:30:48.000 Charlie Kirk is one of the sharpest cats out here.

00:30:50.000 Young Thundercat.

00:30:52.000 Tough dude to debate.

00:30:53.000 Knows his stuff.

00:30:55.000 Gavin Newsom was right there hanging with him in that debate.

00:30:58.000 He looked very sharp.

00:30:59.000 And I saw Gavin Newsom in the debate.

00:31:01.000 Was it Vivek?

00:31:02.000 Did he debate?

00:31:03.000 Who did he have to debate during the election?

00:31:06.000 DeSantis.

00:31:07.000 He looked sharp then, too.

00:31:09.000 Gavin Newsom's very sharp.

00:31:10.000 You watch out for him.

00:31:11.000 It's going to be Newsom versus Vance next election.

00:31:13.000 You think Vance?

00:31:14.000 I think Vance.

00:31:15.000 It's a hunch, mostly because we're starting to see the Vance memes everywhere.

00:31:19.000 You see the Vance baby memes?

00:31:20.000 It's so good, man!

00:31:22.000 I was like, are they about to meme?

00:31:23.000 And then the other thing was, when we saw Dark Vance last week with Zelensky, we saw another side of Vance.

00:31:31.000 He embarrassed Zelensky, made him pull his pants down.

00:31:34.000 Was it you?

00:31:35.000 Who was it who mentioned the emo Vance?

00:31:38.000 I chime in with you. 0.87

00:31:40.000 Haven't you people ever heard of Stopping the Goddamn War? 0.92

00:31:42.000 That was emo Vance. 0.97

00:31:44.000 That was so good.

00:31:45.000 And like...

00:31:47.000 You have these liberal outlets trying to make it seem like the right is mad about the Vance memes.

00:31:51.000 It's like, we're doing it too, man.

00:31:52.000 He likes it.

00:31:53.000 He's even said he finds them funny.

00:31:55.000 They're really good.

00:31:56.000 Everybody's enjoying them, man.

00:31:59.000 Hey, but the left is making the Trump mistake again.

00:32:01.000 They are making Vance a household name and prominent in minds.

00:32:06.000 Attention is currency.

00:32:07.000 And meanwhile, they're making the cringy Choose Your Fighter video, which I literally died from watching.

00:32:12.000 I think I actually got AIDS from watching that video.

00:32:16.000 It's going around like this.

00:32:17.000 It was awful.

00:32:18.000 Fox News won't stop playing it.

00:32:20.000 For real.

00:32:21.000 It's like day three now, and they've played it every show.

00:32:25.000 And this is the thing.

00:32:26.000 If they had leadership, somebody would have stopped them from making that video.

00:32:29.000 Like somebody would have been, they would have given that video upload to somebody in power and he'd be like, no, this can't go out.

00:32:35.000 You have no idea what you're doing right now.

00:32:37.000 Honestly, they would have Mr. Burns pressed the button and the floor trap would have opened and launched in the chute to eject out of the building.

00:32:43.000 Yeah, I think they set themselves up like J. Reed.

00:32:46.000 You know, the next time it comes around, they're going to get midterm.

00:32:48.000 You're going to see a whole new crew, a whole new cast, people you never heard of, going to pop out the woodwork and take a lot of it.

00:32:53.000 But hold on real quick.

00:32:55.000 What if the point of that video...

00:32:57.000 Was to actually harm the credibility of progressive left Democrats.

00:33:02.000 It's doing a fantastic job.

00:33:04.000 It is, isn't it?

00:33:05.000 And so imagine you're a Newsom acolyte.

00:33:08.000 You're in the camp where it's like, we're going to moderate on these issues and we're going to try and recapture the center.

00:33:13.000 First thing we got to do is we got to nuke the squad.

00:33:15.000 What do we do?

00:33:16.000 Hey, guys, we're making this video.

00:33:18.000 Hey, how about 22 senators all make the same video?

00:33:21.000 You do these things.

00:33:23.000 To weaken them so that you can supplant them in the party.

00:33:25.000 Do you think, is Hakeem Jeffries somebody you would consider closer to center?

00:33:29.000 I don't know about closer to center.

00:33:31.000 I wouldn't say he's closer to center, but he's going to come center.

00:33:34.000 He's going to get there.

00:33:35.000 He's smart enough to see which way the wind is blowing.

00:33:39.000 Then he's saying to them, he's like, look, don't wear costumes.

00:33:42.000 Don't carry signs at this event.

00:33:45.000 We need to look normal.

00:33:46.000 We need to have decorum.

00:33:48.000 And nobody's listening.

00:33:49.000 And it's so weird how for the party that seems to fall in line with everything, they don't have any structured leadership.

00:33:56.000 It's because of the civil war.

00:33:57.000 It's because they haven't.

00:33:59.000 Because the progressives were so influential before...

00:34:03.000 Before they lost this last election, they really thought that all of the progressive policies and all the progressive talking points, they thought that they were in control.

00:34:13.000 And when Kamala lost, regular Democrats and their donors, the guys that write the checks, are like, hey, this stuff didn't work.

00:34:21.000 It's clearly unpopular with the American people, so we don't want to touch it.

00:34:25.000 Look at the things the progressives are pushing.

00:34:28.000 They're still pushing LGBT issues as if that's something that people, you know, the average American cares about.

00:34:33.000 It's not.

00:34:34.000 Most Americans, again, whether you like it or not, most Americans are pro-Israel.

00:34:38.000 And you've got all these people that are in the progressive group that are saying, you know, that are talking about Palestine and that are essentially to Americans, to regular normal people that are not plugged into politics.

00:34:49.000 This looks like, oh, they're siding with Hamas is what they, is the short version of it.

00:34:56.000 That's what they see.

00:34:57.000 And so they see all this stuff right before the election and they lose the election because of it.

00:35:02.000 Like, these policies are not popular.

00:35:03.000 You've got the normal...

00:35:06.000 Democrats, right?

00:35:07.000 The people that you would consider liberal Democrats, those people are making a play for control of the party.

00:35:14.000 That's why John Fetterman is on X talking the way he does.

00:35:18.000 That's why everybody was so like, yeah, John Fetterman's actually got a point before the election.

00:35:23.000 You've got Hakeem Jeffries that was saying this stuff to the people that were going to be at the joint session.

00:35:28.000 Don't do this.

00:35:29.000 Don't do this.

00:35:30.000 And they do. 1.00

00:35:31.000 They look like trash. 1.00

00:35:32.000 And now you're only getting more people saying this is not the way. 1.00

00:35:38.000 I gotta warn everybody about Fetterman.

00:35:40.000 So I'm watching Fox News with the wife.

00:35:44.000 Fetterman pops up and makes a statement, as he does, trying to sound reasonable.

00:35:48.000 And Allison says, so he's alright.

00:35:51.000 He's a Democrat, right?

00:35:52.000 He's trying to fix the party or whatever.

00:35:55.000 And I said, look at how he votes.

00:35:57.000 He's setting you up.

00:35:58.000 People who are not as active as we are.

00:36:01.000 Hear Fetterman and go, ah, here we go.

00:36:03.000 The Democrats are getting their act together. 0.99

00:36:05.000 And then he walks right in and rubber stamps woke garbage. 0.99

00:36:08.000 All that stuff.

00:36:09.000 It's four groups that's happening right now. 1.00

00:36:11.000 You got people who got the call, people who didn't get the call, stupid people, and smart people. 1.00

00:36:17.000 Now, some of the stupid people didn't get the call. 1.00

00:36:20.000 Some of the smart people didn't get the call. 1.00

00:36:23.000 People like Charlamagne is in that group who was smart and didn't get the call.

00:36:27.000 You saw him.

00:36:29.000 Immediately shift.

00:36:30.000 Well, first of all, he was kind of Trump-ish.

00:36:32.000 As soon as Kamala ran, he was like, hold on, I got a line with the black folks. 0.98

00:36:35.000 As soon as Kamala was like, hold on, we're coming back.

00:36:37.000 At the very least, he would ask questions and be like, it sounds like you guys are making mistakes.

00:36:42.000 Yeah.

00:36:42.000 It was, come on, the moment like...

00:36:45.000 You know, Trump starts winning. 0.65

00:36:46.000 He goes, were we lied to by the Democrats about Trump being a fascist?

00:36:50.000 Oh, he's smart.

00:36:53.000 He knows.

00:36:55.000 That's like, now the Democrats.

00:36:57.000 You start to look at the Democrats that are still pushing the woke stuff.

00:37:00.000 And you're like, bro, you can't read the...

00:37:04.000 Read the room.

00:37:06.000 Who is Stephen A. Smith talking to recently?

00:37:08.000 Where he's like, you guys got spanked and...

00:37:11.000 Stephen A. Smith's been doing his rounds.

00:37:12.000 He just spoke to Candace Owens.

00:37:14.000 He's talking about running.

00:37:16.000 Stephen A. Smith is one of those people who didn't get the call.

00:37:19.000 Read the room and said, hold on, we're going to bring this thing back center.

00:37:22.000 Let's be reasonable.

00:37:23.000 I don't want to be caught in the woke stuff.

00:37:26.000 Then you'll be irrelevant.

00:37:27.000 You'll be out like Jay Reed.

00:37:28.000 Well, I mean, I do want to say one thing.

00:37:30.000 Let's celebrate the defeat of wokeness because Democrats are abandoning it. 0.56

00:37:34.000 And that's we can take we can breathe a sigh of relief.

00:37:36.000 That's a W. I'm apprehensive about that.

00:37:41.000 There are attempts to just rebrand it that will happen.

00:37:44.000 They will just try to change the name that you're seeing that in the government.

00:37:49.000 In the bureaucracies now, people that used to be head of DEI, etc., they're changing the names, but they will still implement the policies if they're allowed, and that will still be something, because these people that believe this, they truly believe it.

00:38:03.000 They're ideologues, and as long as they're working in HR, they're going to hire people that agree with them.

00:38:09.000 HR departments are the communist official party offices, you know what I mean?

00:38:13.000 There's not much legs in the wokeness, because you have to think generationally.

00:38:18.000 If you look at the young generation coming up, like I got twin boys that are 15. They're watching the different streamers.

00:38:24.000 A lot of the streamers say, we're not touching this politics stuff.

00:38:26.000 We're not touching this woke stuff.

00:38:27.000 We're just going to go make good content.

00:38:29.000 So the Democrats in wokeness don't even have the next generation coming up.

00:38:33.000 So there's not much legs on that.

00:38:34.000 Let me tell you, I had a segment today.

00:38:36.000 If YouGov polling from, I think it might have been a year ago or within the past few months, if you ask Democrats, have we done enough for LGBTQ people?

00:38:48.000 For people who are elderly, something like 75% say we haven't.

00:38:54.000 Gen Z says we've done enough.

00:38:57.000 No joke.

00:38:57.000 78% of Gen Z is in the we've done enough or too much.

00:39:01.000 Absolutely.

00:39:02.000 Yeah, that's crazy.

00:39:03.000 I think they've done too much.

00:39:06.000 It's true about the next generation, too.

00:39:08.000 I remember I think Kamala tried to talk to Kai Sinat, and he's like, no.

00:39:12.000 He said no.

00:39:13.000 He's like, no.

00:39:14.000 Get the hell out of here with that. 1.00

00:39:15.000 I don't want to touch that stuff.

00:39:16.000 You're going to taint me and mess up my brain?

00:39:18.000 Yeah.

00:39:19.000 Smart kid.

00:39:21.000 I feel like I can't ask this question without starting a three-hour-long conversation about it.

00:39:25.000 But I'm curious where you think the U.S. ends up on the issue of Israel.

00:39:29.000 With the younger generations, with people like Candace Owens, there are a lot of people who have broken from the right.

00:39:35.000 And I don't mean the people who are obsessed with Jews.

00:39:37.000 Certainly they've been screaming.

00:39:38.000 But with Dave Smith, who is a more rational, critical of Israel and Israel funding, anti-interventionist, I've had a conversation with many libertarians and even some I would call like moderate conservatives who are pro-Israel.

00:39:53.000 and the consensus seems to be leaning towards Israel must become self-sufficient of its own accord, like over a period of time.

00:40:00.000 So it seems like the space we're in is either totally anti-Israel or Israel's cool but not our problem.

00:40:07.000 And the pro-Israel sentiment, which does exist, I don't think is strong enough to maintain an ongoing U.S. funding of Israel the way we've experienced it.

00:40:17.000 Are we talking like the politically initiated or are you saying like the general sentiment within the country?

00:40:22.000 General public like Israel but really aren't gonna be doing much for it.

00:40:26.000 They're not gonna go vote.

00:40:27.000 For the most part on these things.

00:40:28.000 What I mean is, we are seeing more and more a combination of things.

00:40:34.000 Staunchly anti-Israel individuals.

00:40:36.000 Then you, of course, had what always existed.

00:40:40.000 I call them the the Jews people.

00:40:43.000 They think Jews are hunting on every rock. 1.00

00:40:44.000 They're crazy. 1.00

00:40:45.000 But obviously, they're there. 0.95

00:40:47.000 But you're seeing more prominent personalities be hypercritical of Israel.

00:40:50.000 And it's become more of a mainstream conversation where...

00:40:53.000 You don't have the fervent, zealous pro-Israel anymore.

00:40:57.000 So looking at Gen Z, I'm not talking about these university protesters who are saying free from the river to sea or whatever. 0.97

00:41:06.000 I'm talking about the people you're mentioning who are playing video games who are going to be like, I don't want to be involved in any of that stuff.

00:41:10.000 And you combine that with the other anti-Israel sentiment.

00:41:14.000 I'm wondering if the next generation is going to be voting.

00:41:17.000 We're going to see politicians who are basically like, nah, Israel, we out.

00:41:20.000 Well, it's the idea here that you're going to get a next generation of people that are actually America first that are saying, look, anti-war, like Ron Paul in 2008, and taken to its logical conclusion, it's saying, why are we anti-war about everything but this?

00:41:33.000 And perhaps the next generation just takes that sentiment to say, you need to be self-sufficient.

00:41:37.000 We can't be funding you.

00:41:39.000 A lot of those people, they're not going to get into discussions about...

00:41:43.000 Can I throw a bomb in the conversation?

00:41:45.000 Yeah.

00:41:47.000 You can't be pro-America and not be pro-Israel.

00:41:52.000 He's gone.

00:41:53.000 He's left the room.

00:41:55.000 I'm interested to know exactly what he means by that.

00:41:59.000 But look, there are going to be a significant portion of people that are going to be like, look, America should take care of America and we shouldn't be funding other countries.

00:42:09.000 But there are a lot of people that have the impression that we just send them pallets of cash like we did to Iran.

00:42:14.000 And when we send them money, what we're sending them is weapons that were made in America. 0.98

00:42:20.000 So the United States prints money, sends it to weapons manufacturers in the United States.

00:42:24.000 That money goes to people that work in the United States.

00:42:27.000 It goes back into the U.S. economy.

00:42:29.000 And then the weapons go to Israel.

00:42:31.000 People have been having that same conversation about Ukraine, right?

00:42:34.000 That a lot of what we're doing is funding through weapons that are made here in America.

00:42:38.000 And a lot of Americans are saying, yes, but we have people here in America who are suffering through natural disasters.

00:42:43.000 Where they're getting no aid whatsoever.

00:42:45.000 I don't want to fund American weapons either.

00:42:47.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:42:48.000 I want a strong military.

00:42:49.000 I want a strong military.

00:42:50.000 I want well-paid men and women in uniform.

00:42:54.000 But when they're like, don't worry, the $350 billion that were being spent on Ukraine actually was given to the military-industrial complex.

00:43:01.000 I'm like, still bad.

00:43:03.000 But there are Americans in the American military-industrial complex.

00:43:07.000 I'm like, no!

00:43:08.000 You know what would have been better off?

00:43:09.000 Buying Greenland with that money.

00:43:11.000 Although, let's do the math.

00:43:14.000 How much money would each citizen of Greenland get if we divvied up $350 billion?

00:43:21.000 Is it like 27,000 people or something like that?

00:43:23.000 60. Is that it?

00:43:25.000 Yeah, it's like a high school...

00:43:27.000 Each person would get 5.8 million dollars.

00:43:30.000 I'm moving to Greenland right now.

00:43:32.000 I'm out of here.

00:43:34.000 And then we have Greenland!

00:43:36.000 You know what I mean?

00:43:36.000 And you can build stuff there.

00:43:38.000 Here's my thing.

00:43:40.000 We're not doing anything in Greenland.

00:43:42.000 When you're talking about Israel, what you're talking about is the great...

00:43:47.000 Western Empire that we all get to enjoy the perks of, okay?

00:43:51.000 And Israel is our representative in the region to hold things down for us, okay? 0.95

00:43:57.000 Now, first of all, we done put so much money into Israel, we're going to have to get an ROI on it.

00:44:03.000 So it's a sunken cost fallacy.

00:44:04.000 We just have to stay out there.

00:44:06.000 You got to stay out there until we get something, you know?

00:44:08.000 You're going to have to lock down some of the Golan Heights oil.

00:44:11.000 This goes back to the fact that the Western Empire wanted to topple the Ottoman Empire.

00:44:16.000 Okay, this is what this is all about.

00:44:18.000 This is the Ottoman Empire we're talking about here.

00:44:19.000 And we still got more territory to conquer.

00:44:22.000 Iran's next. 0.99

00:44:24.000 You know, I'm supposed to save these takes for Joe Rogan and Alex Jones.

00:44:31.000 I'm dropping them here.

00:44:32.000 Iran's next. 0.99

00:44:33.000 Everybody knows what's on the plane.

00:44:34.000 Come on, we all know what's going on.

00:44:36.000 Iran's next. 0.99

00:44:37.000 We took care of Iraq.

00:44:39.000 Iran's next. 0.99

00:44:40.000 This is the Western Empire. 0.89

00:44:41.000 Either you love the perks of being an American in the Western Empire, or you don't.

00:44:46.000 You want the Arabs doing it? 1.00

00:44:47.000 You want the Muslims doing it? 1.00

00:44:48.000 Or China?

00:44:49.000 Or China?

00:44:51.000 Because China's going to... 0.98

00:44:51.000 If you don't do it, somebody else is going to take that region. 0.98

00:44:54.000 But don't a lot of people...

00:44:56.000 There's a fracture in America First of people who understand global politics, geopolitics, and war overseas, and the ones who just are saying blanket statement, I don't think we should be any of these regions.

00:45:08.000 I think we should focus on things here first.

00:45:10.000 Now, I understand that's a very, very utopian way of thinking of things.

00:45:14.000 I'm just saying that's a sentiment that you're seeing right now.

00:45:18.000 What a good game.

00:45:19.000 I don't know about the latest Civ 7 everyone hates.

00:45:21.000 What's the other game with the war game you take over?

00:45:25.000 Risk.

00:45:25.000 We were just talking about that today.

00:45:26.000 We ain't never played Risk.

00:45:27.000 I think it's just like, what's going on here?

00:45:30.000 People are real quick to be like, we should, they don't have a sophisticated understanding of geopolitics.

00:45:36.000 And like, I do think that we should end.

00:45:38.000 All kinds of support to most countries.

00:45:41.000 I don't think we should be sending money around the world buying influence and stuff like that.

00:45:46.000 Yeah, dropping pronouns.

00:45:48.000 I don't think we should be doing any of that stuff.

00:45:50.000 Remember when Trump was like, nobody knows where that is.

00:45:53.000 It doesn't change the fact that most people that are like, oh, we shouldn't do anything, we shouldn't spend money, we shouldn't give foreign aid, they don't understand what foreign aid is.

00:46:02.000 They think that it's just dumping money and pallets attached.

00:46:06.000 Well, that's not...

00:46:07.000 Foreign aid is not regime change, but there is regime change.

00:46:12.000 I'm not saying there is regime change.

00:46:13.000 USAID is not foreign aid.

00:46:14.000 USAID is regime change.

00:46:18.000 USAID is not aid.

00:46:19.000 It's regime change.

00:46:21.000 Aid is AIDS. I guess the way I think it is, the average person who doesn't follow global politics super closely sees natural disasters happen here, and FEMA gives them $600, and they're like, why?

00:46:37.000 Is it that we can give American citizens $600, but we have to give, again...

00:46:41.000 Now that's messed up.

00:46:43.000 They're saying that we should take order of importance.

00:46:47.000 You should take care of the citizens here first.

00:46:49.000 We have...

00:46:50.000 We're $35 trillion...

00:46:53.000 Is it more than that now?

00:46:54.000 $35 trillion in debt.

00:46:56.000 Let's focus on the citizens here first.

00:46:58.000 Then we can...

00:47:00.000 It's like on an airplane, right?

00:47:01.000 Like when they drop the mask down.

00:47:03.000 Secure your mask first.

00:47:04.000 Then you can worry about the people...

00:47:06.000 Take care of the people here first, then you can worry about the people in the rest of the world.

00:47:11.000 So in direct funding, I believe the U.S. is at like $140 billion.

00:47:16.000 In total spending, including ancillary spends, which are not direct to Ukraine, but for...

00:47:22.000 We'll say things like funding of U.S. personnel in Europe that do aid and assist Ukraine.

00:47:27.000 So we've got the direct congressional apportion funds.

00:47:30.000 Then we have existing U.S. military infrastructure in Europe.

00:47:33.000 I believe the estimate is total expense was $350 billion.

00:47:38.000 If that is the case, and I know it is a rough estimate, that means the United States has given each citizen of Ukraine, including babies, $9,722. 0.98

00:47:47.000 Damn. 0.95

00:47:48.000 And if you're in a disaster zone in the United States, you got a nice fat $600. 0.99

00:47:52.000 I'll spend it all in one place.

00:47:54.000 It blows my mind that they go with such a piddly amount of money and say, this is what we're going to give you.

00:48:00.000 At all.

00:48:01.000 It is better to not give anybody money than to allow that to go out for the American people to hear.

00:48:09.000 They're like, what?

00:48:11.000 That's like two weeks of groceries.

00:48:12.000 What do you mean?

00:48:14.000 Support, blah, blah, blah.

00:48:15.000 It is way better to say, we're not giving anything out.

00:48:18.000 It's all going to go through a blah, blah, blah.

00:48:20.000 The government's like, have The Rock drop a GoFundMe.

00:48:24.000 It's terrible, man.

00:48:26.000 The Rock did the GoFundMe for Hawaii.

00:48:28.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:48:29.000 After the fires.

00:48:30.000 But if it's pop culture, Brett knows.

00:48:32.000 We're like, who?

00:48:33.000 The Rock?

00:48:34.000 Whatever happened to East Palestine, Ohio?

00:48:35.000 Did they even get a seizure?

00:48:37.000 I don't think so.

00:48:38.000 And that soil is contaminated with the vinyl chloride, was it?

00:48:41.000 Did they ever fix the drinking water?

00:48:43.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:48:45.000 Flint, Michigan?

00:48:46.000 Flint, Michigan.

00:48:49.000 I'll just tell you, I don't even care.

00:48:50.000 I got potholes.

00:48:51.000 We got an interstate highway down the street.

00:48:53.000 It's got potholes.

00:48:54.000 Look, if you can't fix a pothole, okay, on your road, you don't send our money to Ukraine.

00:48:59.000 Sorry.

00:49:00.000 It's just, come on.

00:49:02.000 I understand war happens, but you're supposed to explain to the American people and get approval from Congress.

00:49:10.000 And have general support for these things.

00:49:12.000 The problem we have now is that they know they have no real justification for what they're doing.

00:49:17.000 So they have to censor and ban people and any securities means they can to stop them from spreading sentiment that is anti-war.

00:49:23.000 60 years from now, they're going to be talking about, we got the binders coming out the binders.

00:49:28.000 Ukraine files.

00:49:29.000 Here's who the money was.

00:49:31.000 That's going to be the next.

00:49:32.000 We know they're stealing it.

00:49:33.000 Absolutely.

00:49:34.000 Well, I mean, and this is.

00:49:36.000 There were the fake businesses that were set up that were receiving U.S. money directly to build fortifications.

00:49:41.000 And then when Russia attacked, there were no fortifications.

00:49:45.000 And Ukraine was like, uh, yeah, because the money was being stolen.

00:49:49.000 Let's jump to the story from the Postmillennial.

00:49:51.000 AOC aid in the U.S. illegally self-deports to Colombia.

00:49:55.000 Say what?

00:49:56.000 Victory.

00:49:56.000 She employed an illegal immigrant?

00:49:58.000 That's a crime, isn't it?

00:49:59.000 That is a crime.

00:50:00.000 Hold on.

00:50:01.000 I gotta get the context here.

00:50:02.000 What's going on?

00:50:02.000 An aid to AOC. Self-deported after being in the U.S. illegally, Diego de la Vega said he has freedom of movement in Colombia now after he overstayed his visa in the U.S. Okay, so overstayed a visa.

00:50:13.000 Did she hire him when he was allowed to work here?

00:50:14.000 What's going on?

00:50:15.000 They say, according to the Washington Free Beacon, he left the U.S. in December after he overstayed his visa that he received when he was seven years old.

00:50:22.000 On Wednesday, AOC praised de la Vega saying that we love him.

00:50:25.000 The aid self-deportation came shortly after Trump was elected in November, and since becoming president, he has pushed for a mass deportation effort, starting with those here illegally that are also committing other crimes.

00:50:36.000 De La Vega relocated to Bogota to be with his wife, who was another illegal immigrant to the U.S. In an interview with Migrant Insider, the aide said that he was illegalized in the U.S. and that he would have the freedom of movement in Colombia.

00:50:47.000 What?

00:50:48.000 It's not clear how De La Vega was able to be employed by the lawmaker.

00:50:53.000 Although he was barred from working in Congress because of his legal status.

00:50:57.000 So is AOC just outright committing crimes here?

00:51:00.000 What does illegalized mean?

00:51:02.000 That's a made-up term?

00:51:04.000 It's like self-deport is going to be like YouTubers censoring themselves about self-deletion.

00:51:08.000 It's going to be a new term.

00:51:10.000 He's just going to re-up on Zelensky's PACs.

00:51:13.000 I thought AOC was Puerto Rican, right?

00:51:17.000 I don't know.

00:51:18.000 She's just beautiful, though.

00:51:19.000 I love AOC. That's my beauty.

00:51:22.000 Look, if Trump's policies are getting illegal aliens to self-deport, I'm good with it. 1.00

00:51:29.000 I'm good with it.

00:51:30.000 So he was a DACA recipient.

00:51:33.000 Right.

00:51:33.000 And once Trump came in, he said he's getting out of here because he's being illegalized.

00:51:36.000 But he was barred from working in Congress.

00:51:39.000 So how was she able to employ a DACA recipient?

00:51:43.000 I'm sorry.

00:51:44.000 I have no sympathy for DACA recipients. 1.00

00:51:46.000 I just really don't.

00:51:49.000 When was DACA? 2013 or something?

00:51:52.000 2012?

00:51:53.000 So right now, with Trump getting elected, with immigration being a principal issue, you've got people who have been here as DACA recipients since then.

00:52:02.000 They've had 12 years to get their affairs in order, and they chose not to.

00:52:07.000 And now it's, oh no, but these people have been here their whole lives.

00:52:10.000 Well, they didn't have to be.

00:52:11.000 They could have been here half their lives and they had 12 years to get their affairs sorted to go back to their home countries. 0.72

00:52:15.000 I don't know why that's my responsibility as an American.

00:52:18.000 Do you think that this is an issue that's going to be contentious or is this one that Democrats are going to end up shifting on?

00:52:23.000 Because this is like a core Obama issue, right?

00:52:29.000 They have to shift on it because I'll give you two examples.

00:52:34.000 The immigration crisis was so severe, people's brains got fried. 1.00

00:52:37.000 And another example is gay marriage support is dropping and likely Obergefell will be overturned.

00:52:43.000 And this is because the people who supported DACA did so thinking they were being reasonable.

00:52:49.000 And then what happened?

00:52:50.000 The border got overrun.

00:52:51.000 Communities changed.

00:52:53.000 Certain community centers are overrun.

00:52:55.000 The black voters in Chicago were at meetings saying, we are being, they said the quote, we are being replaced. 0.88

00:52:59.000 That came from the black community in Chicago.

00:53:00.000 These people are going to recoil at the talk of amnesty.

00:53:05.000 From now on, because they've been negatively impacted by mass migration.

00:53:09.000 So when gay marriage emerges, when DACA emerges, it doesn't really bother anybody or affect anybody.

00:53:15.000 And they say, who cares?

00:53:16.000 Ten years on, mass migration has negatively impacted us, and the LGBTQ issues have pushed so far beyond the pale that people are shocked and scared.

00:53:25.000 Now, moderates, moderate liberal types who supported these causes have disappeared.

00:53:30.000 You're now going...

00:53:31.000 So gay marriage support has dropped like...

00:53:33.000 I think two or three points from last year to next, from this.

00:53:38.000 So it's started to curve down.

00:53:39.000 And you're likely going to see many of these people who are once liberal and the post-liberals who have joined Trump will not speak out as activists in support of gay marriage when the challenges arise.

00:53:50.000 And they are.

00:53:50.000 Numerous states are saying they're going to get rid of it.

00:53:52.000 I'm not trying to shift the conversation back to the same point about immigration.

00:53:56.000 Back then, DACA is, immigration doesn't really faze me.

00:53:59.000 Let the people stay.

00:54:00.000 What's the problem? 0.65

00:54:01.000 Now the issue is my community center is full of illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:54:05.000 I don't care.

00:54:05.000 I have no sympathy.

00:54:06.000 You've got to go home.

00:54:07.000 Blake and Riley stories all in their face.

00:54:09.000 That's a nasty story.

00:54:11.000 When Trump was doing his address with Congress this week and he started naming those stories, people hear that stuff.

00:54:17.000 That resonates and it's going to stick in your mind.

00:54:20.000 But when I saw that quote just now from AOC and she says, we're going to miss him.

00:54:24.000 And when you said what you said, that was the inkling I got.

00:54:27.000 I was like, wait a second.

00:54:28.000 She's shifting? 1.00

00:54:29.000 Because normally what you would get from her after something like that is, you know, she's going to be at the border crying near the fence.

00:54:36.000 She didn't do that. 0.99

00:54:37.000 She says, we're just going to miss him.

00:54:38.000 Or the response would be, I will hide him in my attic if I have to.

00:54:43.000 Right.

00:54:44.000 And she didn't say that.

00:54:45.000 She said, miss you, bye.

00:54:47.000 So did she get the call?

00:54:48.000 Because we know she's not too bright.

00:54:49.000 So maybe she got the call.

00:54:51.000 Maybe somebody said, AOC, listen, we're going to need you around next week.

00:54:54.000 You're going to have to shift a little bit.

00:54:56.000 Sorry, just I love...

00:54:58.000 That's probably true.

00:55:00.000 The call is going around.

00:55:01.000 You probably got Gavin Newsom.

00:55:02.000 You got legal teams.

00:55:04.000 They probably went through a list of people that they think would follow orders with the new shift for politics.

00:55:11.000 And I think you're right about Charlemagne.

00:55:12.000 He didn't get the call, but he is smart.

00:55:14.000 So he went, oh, geez, they lied about Trump, huh?

00:55:17.000 So, like, the idea was that when they talked about Lake and Riley, or they talked about the young man with brain cancer at the address, and nobody stood up, and no Democrats clapped, did none of those people get the call?

00:55:31.000 Because a really easy way to start shifting would have been to just stand up and act like a human being.

00:55:36.000 They didn't get the call.

00:55:37.000 And again, coming back to Charlemagne, when you look at Charlemagne and a breakfast club's coverage, even, I gotta give props to DJ. When they talked about DJ, they were like, yo, leave little bro alone.

00:55:48.000 He's got brain cancer, blah, blah, blah.

00:55:50.000 But you cannot not support DJ. And what they were saying was that Trump was grifting off a DJ. And I'm like, listen, let's say Trump was grifting off a DJ. Who wins more from that, DJ or Trump?

00:56:05.000 I'm like, yo, I feel like DJ wins more.

00:56:08.000 DJ's set up for life now.

00:56:09.000 Yeah, but sure.

00:56:10.000 But let's say Trump was grifting and Democrats knew it.

00:56:12.000 That's why they're complaining.

00:56:13.000 Then the best thing they could have done is all stood up and clapped and cheered for it and made sure Trump didn't win this one.

00:56:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:56:20.000 And it was bipartisan.

00:56:21.000 Like, it's political theater.

00:56:22.000 I'm like, it's all political theater.

00:56:23.000 It's how you respond that actually matters.

00:56:25.000 The next day.

00:56:27.000 When they're censuring Al Green and then all the Democrats, not all of them, but a lot of them, are singing We Shall Overcome and the Well of the Congress, they didn't get the call.

00:56:34.000 They didn't get the call. 0.97

00:56:36.000 I'm like, you look nuts. 0.91

00:56:37.000 They're on their way out. 0.98

00:56:38.000 They have to be.

00:56:39.000 And now we're hearing that Johnson may remove many of these Democrats from their committees.

00:56:45.000 So it's not expulsion, but it's tantamounts too.

00:56:50.000 So for those that don't understand.

00:56:51.000 This is so bad, you can replace him with anybody.

00:56:54.000 Right.

00:56:55.000 I want to make sure people understand this.

00:56:57.000 When you're in Congress, you want to be on certain committees because the committees can get those bills to the floor for a floor vote.

00:57:03.000 So Matt Gaetz pointed this out to us.

00:57:05.000 He said when he first got in, they said if you want a committee assignment, you've got to pay for it.

00:57:09.000 And based on the size of your district, and it's like...

00:57:12.000 Per capita GDP or whatever, your contribution to the NRCC, National Republican Congressional Committee or whatever, has to be a certain number.

00:57:21.000 And so Gates said, I wrote him a check and said, how much will half a million get me?

00:57:24.000 And they were like, you can have any committee assignment you want.

00:57:27.000 When Marjorie Taylor Greene got censured for Post Humanity Facebook and they stripped her of her committee assignments, she was basically unable then to advance certain bills or be involved in that process. 0.91

00:57:36.000 So if these Democrats are getting stripped from their committee assignments, and it could be 30 or 40, That's massive.

00:57:44.000 It is almost expulsion.

00:57:47.000 Expulsion could get a new Democrat to come in and get on the committees and negotiate.

00:57:51.000 But if they get removed, they're going to dramatically lose power.

00:57:53.000 You know what the new Democrat party is going to look like?

00:57:56.000 White men. 0.62

00:57:58.000 Strong white men. 0.87

00:57:59.000 I'm telling you, you cannot...

00:58:00.000 Fetterman?

00:58:01.000 Newsome?

00:58:01.000 Yeah, Fetterman Newsome.

00:58:03.000 And again, there's a million things you can criticize Gavin Newsome on, but the sad fact is most people have short memories and aren't going to remember it by the time the next election comes around.

00:58:12.000 I don't remember it.

00:58:13.000 All I see is the new Gavin.

00:58:15.000 Yep.

00:58:16.000 And he was very deferential to Charlie on a lot of those issues.

00:58:20.000 He was.

00:58:20.000 When he was like, fair point, yep, okay, well, yeah.

00:58:23.000 The stuff that he's deferential about are the obvious things.

00:58:27.000 The things that it was insane for the Democrats to take up these ideas in the first place.

00:58:34.000 It is insane for the Democrats to say, we're going to force...

00:58:40.000 Young men to play women's sports.

00:58:42.000 We're going to force schools to allow that to happen.

00:58:45.000 And you see that video of that poor girl getting her face smashed in with the volleyball? 0.71

00:58:50.000 Every single parent that sees that is like, I'm all set with the Democrats.

00:58:54.000 I don't need this anymore.

00:58:56.000 You know what I think?

00:58:56.000 I think the Democrats and the DJ thing, I think it's that Democrats are substantially less likely, I mean the voters as a base, less likely to have kids.

00:59:06.000 They don't get an emotional reaction seeing...

00:59:08.000 That father, they don't empathize with that father.

00:59:11.000 So there's two things I see here.

00:59:13.000 We mentioned this, I think I mentioned this this morning, that in this battle we have, there are people who serve God and people who want to be God.

00:59:22.000 So the transhumanists, big tech, or people who are just gluttonous and hedonistic. 1.00

00:59:27.000 And then you have people on the other side.

00:59:29.000 If you want to secularize it for those that are moderate and support Trump but don't believe in God, these are people who believe in something greater than themselves.

00:59:36.000 So they might be an atheist.

00:59:38.000 They might be agnostic, but they serve in the military because they believe, you know, I think that exists.

00:59:43.000 When you look at the DJ scenario, people who believe in the greater are more likely to feel empathy, not just for the kid who was bullied, and that's where a lot of this started.

00:59:53.000 He was being bullied because he wanted to be a cop.

00:59:55.000 But for the father who's standing there, imagining what that dad must have felt when his son was going through brain cancer, imagining what that kid must have been feeling going through brain cancer.

01:00:04.000 Thirteen times.

01:00:05.000 Thirteen times.

01:00:07.000 Man, to see that dad with a big old smile on his face holding up his son for the President of the United States to be honored, to know that not only did his son survive, and it was probably the most terrifying and painful thing you can experience, it's probably slow torture.

01:00:20.000 The Democrats, I'm sure many of the Democrat politicians, they have kids, we know they do, and they understand that.

01:00:26.000 But they don't stand up because their voters don't understand that.

01:00:29.000 And their voters won't react with empathy because they don't care.

01:00:33.000 In fact, they've been publishing op-eds all the time saying, stop having kids.

01:00:36.000 It's bad for the climate.

01:00:37.000 I mean, the problem is the reason why Democrats can't resonate with that father is because Democrats are used to kids having two dads.

01:00:49.000 Where's the other one?

01:00:50.000 Where's the other dad? 0.94

01:00:51.000 They've signed up for hating men.

01:00:53.000 It's been...

01:00:54.000 Bro.

01:00:56.000 Purely obvious for at least 20-30 years.

01:01:00.000 I'm so...

01:01:01.000 When DJ got helped up by his dad, I wasn't just...

01:01:06.000 I wasn't just cheering for DJ, I was cheering for that dad.

01:01:10.000 I mean, I've told this before, there was a video that went viral on the internet a long time ago of a dad holding his dead son, and he wailed in such a way that would haunt your nightmares.

01:01:19.000 And I'm like, worst thing a parent could ever experience.

01:01:24.000 And he didn't just deal with that pain.

01:01:26.000 It was prolonged torture over a long period of time.

01:01:29.000 Parents who go through kids with terminal illness, you're not just experiencing that pain one time.

01:01:33.000 You're being beaten over the head.

01:01:35.000 You have to watch your child suffer in that way.

01:01:38.000 Here he is now on the other side of it in the best way imaginable.

01:01:42.000 He shouldn't just get a standing ovation.

01:01:43.000 They should have stood up for 20 minutes and clapped for them.

01:01:45.000 The Democrats, I don't believe their constituencies can resonate with that.

01:01:49.000 So they just say...

01:01:50.000 Don't stand up.

01:01:51.000 It'll be bad for business.

01:01:52.000 Yeah, because the climate's going to bring the world to an end, so why would you have kids anyways?

01:01:57.000 You know what?

01:01:57.000 The gift that Trump gave that kid, outside of the gift of the grift, because now he get to get the grift out, okay?

01:02:04.000 He's hot as fire right now.

01:02:06.000 But he gave that kid the gift of life.

01:02:09.000 Yeah.

01:02:11.000 Because...

01:02:11.000 They've done studies on this in Asia.

01:02:13.000 They have happiness treatment for diseases.

01:02:16.000 But the level of your mood can actually help you with whatever it is that you're facing.

01:02:21.000 And this kid now enjoying this extended period of elation, he's giving this kid life.

01:02:27.000 And this is one of the most beautiful things.

01:02:28.000 I will never forgive the people that really politicized that and didn't show love to DJ. The fact that the Democrats can't identify the obvious...

01:02:39.000 Correct moves is actually hilarious.

01:02:43.000 It's really funny.

01:02:44.000 If you actually think about it, it's like you thought it was a bad idea to stand up for the kid with cancer.

01:02:51.000 You hate Trump that much.

01:02:52.000 You thought it was a bad idea to stand up for the kid with cancer. 1.00

01:02:55.000 You people are morons. 1.00

01:02:57.000 You people shouldn't be in any position of authority because you're too stupid. 1.00

01:03:01.000 Hey, Democrats, if y'all be mean to Trump, I'm on your bumper. 1.00

01:03:04.000 I gotta be honest.

01:03:05.000 I imagine Trump...

01:03:07.000 And his cabinet are sitting in the room, and then Trump's sitting there being like, I tell these people that air is safe to breathe.

01:03:14.000 They hold their breath.

01:03:15.000 Watch.

01:03:15.000 How much you want to bet?

01:03:16.000 I bring out a kid with cancer, and they're not going to cheer for him.

01:03:18.000 And they're like, Trump, Mr. President, that's a great idea.

01:03:21.000 Can we get a kid?

01:03:22.000 And he's like, all right, let's bring him out.

01:03:23.000 It's a grift, but then it's like it proves the point.

01:03:26.000 Let's jump to this story from USA Today.

01:03:28.000 Donald Trump says he isn't considering pardoning Derek Chauvin in George Floyd's murder.

01:03:33.000 Fake news.

01:03:34.000 Donald Trump said, I have no idea what you're talking about.

01:03:37.000 So here's the story.

01:03:39.000 Ben Shapiro put out a video saying, pardon Derek Chauvin.

01:03:43.000 Derek Chauvin not only was charged at the state level, but also the federal level.

01:03:46.000 Ben Shapiro made the point that Trump could pardon this man who has been wrongly prosecuted in many ways.

01:03:55.000 And Trump was asked about it, and his response was, no, I haven't heard about it.

01:03:59.000 I haven't heard of that.

01:04:01.000 The media is now running the headline that Trump says he won't pardon Derek Chauvin, which is a weird headline to run, considering Trump just said, effectively, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:04:10.000 They go to mention Ben Shapiro, founder of the Daily Wire, this week launched an online petition calling for Trump to pardon Chauvin, who in 2021 was sentenced for 22 and a half years in prison on state charges for second, third, second and third degree murder and 21 years on federal charges for depriving Floyd of his civil rights.

01:04:25.000 When he knelt on top of Floyd's neck for nine and a half minutes as he lay on a Minneapolis sidewalk in May of 2020.

01:04:30.000 Certainly, we all know that the issue there is not so cut and dry and they're not framing it that well.

01:04:36.000 But the Daily Wire has pushed this big campaign, and many people have gotten on board with it.

01:04:40.000 I think, obviously, I think Derek Chauvin shouldn't be in prison at all.

01:04:45.000 And I have tweeted hashtag Free Chauvin numerous times.

01:04:48.000 I don't know if it makes sense right now for Trump to put this on his agenda.

01:04:53.000 I mean, certainly Chauvin shouldn't be in prison, but he's going to be in state prison anyway, even if Trump pardoned him, he's still locked up.

01:05:00.000 So I don't know why now is the right moment for this, but I'm curious what you guys think.

01:05:04.000 It's a griff. 1.00

01:05:05.000 Big boss Ben Grifton.

01:05:07.000 This goes back to what I said before.

01:05:09.000 The Democrat recovery program is built into the right wing.

01:05:12.000 You're going to have missteps like Big Boss Ben trying to get his grift on.

01:05:15.000 And then it's going to come 2028. People go, how come black people won't vote for Republicans?

01:05:21.000 Because y'all doing stupid stuff like this. 1.00

01:05:22.000 But what's wrong with this? 1.00

01:05:24.000 It's stupid. 1.00

01:05:25.000 But no, like, why? 1.00

01:05:26.000 You think Chauvin should not be pardoned?

01:05:29.000 Here's what we got.

01:05:30.000 You got Derek Chauvin, right?

01:05:33.000 Who, he ain't the cleanest dude.

01:05:36.000 He ain't the cleanest.

01:05:37.000 He got a little funny past him and George Floyd got a pass before.

01:05:40.000 They worked at the same place together.

01:05:41.000 Yeah, okay.

01:05:42.000 So, we're not even going to get into that, okay?

01:05:44.000 You got Derek Chauvin, then you got the country. 0.97

01:05:48.000 Are you going to sacrifice your country for a dirty cop? 0.98

01:05:53.000 Why is he a dirty cop? 0.99

01:05:55.000 You're going to have to go. 0.88

01:05:56.000 We're not going to get into that. 0.93

01:05:57.000 You're saying, narrative-wise, the view among many in the population is that he's a dirty cop. 0.90

01:06:01.000 It doesn't matter what I believe. 0.78

01:06:03.000 Yes.

01:06:04.000 In short, yes.

01:06:06.000 But there are stories that I've heard from people in Minnesota about the dealings between him and George Floyd and those two were not exactly the nicest people, right?

01:06:16.000 It's the same thing with George Floyd, right?

01:06:18.000 When I tell black people, I'm like, yo, look, like, George Floyd ain't exactly Martin Luther King Jr., right?

01:06:24.000 It's the same thing with Derek Chauvin.

01:06:25.000 I'm like, yo, this dude ain't exactly Captain America.

01:06:29.000 So don't throw away the country for one cop.

01:06:33.000 That's the deontological versus utilitarian moral worldview challenge we all face.

01:06:39.000 And it wouldn't matter anyways.

01:06:40.000 You've got to sacrifice him.

01:06:42.000 Yeah, you've got to sacrifice him.

01:06:43.000 Hey, Derek, show me, look, we've got an election to win. 0.99

01:06:45.000 You're going to have to sit out in prison, dog.

01:06:47.000 He does it on his way out the door at the end of his term.

01:06:50.000 And this is one of those things that you're just, you're not going to...

01:06:53.000 But not right now.

01:06:54.000 There's an information gap between the people that actually followed this case closely and looked at the medical examiner's report and looks at all of the information connected to it.

01:07:02.000 It was a very, very emotional response from a lot of the country in relation to this.

01:07:07.000 And they would lose a lot of support if they did this right now.

01:07:10.000 For something that wouldn't get them out of jail.

01:07:13.000 I'd take one term as president because I would just do the – I'd pardon so many people.

01:07:19.000 Like just insane pardons.

01:07:21.000 Like most nonviolent offenses.

01:07:24.000 I say most because some – we talked about this before with like what if Trump pardoned all like marijuana-related federal charges.

01:07:29.000 The issue is that some of them pleaded down from violent or very dangerous, very bad things.

01:07:35.000 Some are cartel members who don't want free.

01:07:36.000 Just because we got them on the pot thing doesn't mean we don't know about other stuff we did.

01:07:40.000 But there's a lot of people I'd say, just get them out.

01:07:42.000 We don't like nonviolent offenses that we know is just some dude who had a bunch of weed or whatever.

01:07:48.000 We don't want to deal with this stuff.

01:07:49.000 But if I had just one term, I'd be pardoned left and right, and I'd be locking up left and right.

01:07:57.000 I've already mentioned this over and over again.

01:07:59.000 These CBP agents who are trafficking kids and knew it, The people who are transporting illegal immigrants and knew it, and they worked for these bus companies or whatever, I'd be locking people up like crazy.

01:08:08.000 I guess I'm just saying, like, right now, Trump's in this position where he's not running for re-election.

01:08:15.000 Right.

01:08:16.000 After the midterms, maybe he goes...

01:08:18.000 More ham than he already is.

01:08:20.000 Yeah, but the thing is, he's gonna start be planning for 2028 for whoever comes next, right?

01:08:24.000 Just because he, especially if we're talking about Vance being the one that runs in 2028, then whatever Trump does on his way out will be, will color how people feel about Vance, even if Vance had nothing to do with those decisions.

01:08:36.000 Right, but the thing is, if you've got a corpse of a Democrat party, don't...

01:08:41.000 Give it life.

01:08:42.000 I agreed.

01:08:43.000 Yes.

01:08:44.000 And when you do stuff like this, you give them something to talk about. 1.00

01:08:48.000 Let them die. 0.96

01:08:49.000 Man, you know, this is the philosophical conundrum, the trolley problem. 0.99

01:08:55.000 Would you sacrifice a single individual for the greater good or for the larger society?

01:09:02.000 Phil is commissary.

01:09:03.000 That's tough, man.

01:09:05.000 Yeah, that's true.

01:09:06.000 You know, get him a nice couch.

01:09:07.000 Make sure you take care of him.

01:09:08.000 Get the guards to take care of him.

01:09:10.000 Hey, listen, the mob used to do stuff like that, right?

01:09:12.000 Like, if that's your guy, take care of him.

01:09:14.000 Tear down the wall in his cell.

01:09:15.000 Give him two cells.

01:09:16.000 Put a TV. Get a jacuzzi in there.

01:09:18.000 Send a couple of girls in every once in a while. 1.00

01:09:21.000 Look, they could do that.

01:09:22.000 Like I said before, I'm from Minnesota.

01:09:24.000 The Minneapolis cops are not exactly known as the most, you know, reputable police force.

01:09:30.000 Or at least they weren't.

01:09:31.000 That's all I'm saying.

01:09:32.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:09:34.000 You said Ben was grifting.

01:09:36.000 Why do you think he's doing it?

01:09:38.000 Because he couldn't buy TimCast. 0.96

01:09:42.000 He couldn't buy TimCast, so he's like, damn, what am I going to do next? 0.97

01:09:45.000 Break glass in case of emergency. 0.98

01:09:46.000 This is his backup option.

01:09:48.000 I do love that all of these Zaju's people were screaming at the top of their lungs, claiming they claimed Daily Wire already owned TimCast. 0.99

01:09:58.000 There was an article that said Daily Wire had a minority stake in the company.

01:10:01.000 I was like, none of this was ever true.

01:10:03.000 I'm a fan of their work.

01:10:05.000 Matt Walsh does amazing stuff.

01:10:07.000 Friends with them.

01:10:09.000 You know, I got no beef.

01:10:10.000 I think they're good people.

01:10:12.000 Whatever.

01:10:13.000 And when these people run this narrative, no apologies, no backtracking.

01:10:17.000 They just...

01:10:17.000 So, you know, I'll say this.

01:10:20.000 They said you got a yamaka under your beanie.

01:10:22.000 They still think that you're owned by the Jews.

01:10:25.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:10:26.000 So when Jake Shields...

01:10:28.000 Uh-oh.

01:10:29.000 Yeah, and some of the other people...

01:10:30.000 Who are, like, their brains have, like, they got what, you know, like, they got...

01:10:33.000 He's a fighter.

01:10:34.000 You know his brain knuckle.

01:10:35.000 He got CTE and something.

01:10:36.000 He got a lot of followers.

01:10:37.000 But when he says one time that Tim sold his company to Jews, he's got...

01:10:43.000 Followers who to this day believe that, and it was never true, and I bet him a bottle of Pappy whiskey wasn't true, and he just disappeared on the issue like a little baby.

01:10:53.000 He just ran away and said, I'm not going to say anything about nothing.

01:10:56.000 So what I will say about those people is, think about how wrong he was about that, and how he adamantly kept screaming it.

01:11:05.000 Think about everything else he's saying.

01:11:06.000 The dude is just, it's crazy how wrong he is, but he gets propped up.

01:11:09.000 I think he's probably getting a lot of bot traffic.

01:11:12.000 I was just about to say that.

01:11:15.000 Y'all, listen.

01:11:16.000 All these dudes that's pushing this anti-Semite stuff, the only reason why they're doing it is because they think they're getting traction.

01:11:24.000 But the traction is coming from bot traffic.

01:11:27.000 They are being manipulated.

01:11:28.000 So the thing is, they say, the Jews, and then it gets a spike in traffic.

01:11:32.000 But there's somebody manipulating them.

01:11:34.000 I ain't gonna say who.

01:11:35.000 Because I don't know.

01:11:36.000 I can speculate, but I don't know.

01:11:38.000 But somebody's pushing bot buttons, and these people are being controlled by bot farms because they think they're getting real engagement, and they are not getting real engagement.

01:11:47.000 I think it's important to clarify that certainly there are a lot of people who are following them and do believe this stuff.

01:11:53.000 Yes.

01:11:53.000 And what happens is when you point out there are bot campaigns that are easily visible, people think you're accusing them of being a bot, so we'll clarify.

01:12:00.000 But I'll say this.

01:12:01.000 I do believe the whole Zijus thing that we're seeing, where it's like... 1.00

01:12:05.000 People acclaimed that we were owned by—I mean, it's crazy because it's like you got Catholics working at Daily Wire. 1.00

01:12:12.000 But I think the reason why there is a bot campaign in this regard is it gives the big platforms an excuse to shadow ban, and it kills your advertising revenue.

01:12:23.000 So I'll just say this.

01:12:25.000 I'm not going to speak about any of the big names personally, but how is it— That you can have, and I'll be as vague as possible because there's probably like 15 to 30 people who fit this category.

01:12:38.000 They are podcasters in the space of A. And it's, you know, just like variable X. We'll call it variable X. And maybe it's billiards.

01:12:47.000 Maybe it's racing.

01:12:48.000 And now they're only talking about Jews.

01:12:50.000 Right.

01:12:50.000 Because what happens is somebody will post something and it will hit the keywords that will generate likes and retweets.

01:12:59.000 Weak-willed people see that and go, oh boy.

01:13:02.000 And they chase after it.

01:13:04.000 So here's what happens.

01:13:07.000 Somebody's like, I played billiards today, and they're posting billiards videos.

01:13:11.000 Then the Israel-Palestine thing happens, and they see it, and they go, man, that's crazy.

01:13:16.000 And so they tweet, I don't know what I'm seeing, but these bomb strikes in Gaza freak me out.

01:13:19.000 All of a sudden, they get 100 responses and 73 retweets, and the people are responding being like, oh, my God, how bad is this?

01:13:26.000 I can't believe Israel would do this.

01:13:28.000 And then they see that and they go, my billiard video got 3000 views, my My Israel video got 10,000 views.

01:13:35.000 Switch up.

01:13:36.000 So they say, I'm going to post another one.

01:13:38.000 Then the X revenue comes in.

01:13:40.000 Now they got 300 bucks, and they're like, whoa!

01:13:43.000 There it is.

01:13:44.000 I remember when, um...

01:13:46.000 It's a feedback loop.

01:13:48.000 It is.

01:13:48.000 There was that one dude who claimed that GTA was run by the Jews.

01:13:51.000 Do you remember that?

01:13:53.000 The Grand Theft Auto video game.

01:13:54.000 Yeah, I can't remember.

01:13:55.000 What's the guy's name?

01:13:56.000 I don't know.

01:13:57.000 People in the chat will probably know.

01:13:57.000 But he tweeted something like, Grand Theft Auto is going woke because it's run by Jews.

01:14:02.000 And I'm like, okay.

01:14:03.000 And he got a bunch of retweets on it.

01:14:05.000 I don't even remember the game going woke.

01:14:06.000 It seemed very anti-woke.

01:14:08.000 Because they put a woman as a protagonist of the new game.

01:14:10.000 But I thought that was genius because we never got that and now you get to play the whole Bonnie and Clyde situation.

01:14:16.000 You could still go buy a hooker killer and take the money back. 1.00

01:14:21.000 Here's the genius behind adding a woman. 0.99

01:14:24.000 It's not about wokeness.

01:14:25.000 It's about the fact that what do you have entering the gaming community in big numbers right now?

01:14:31.000 Not women. 1.00

01:14:31.000 Female gamers? 1.00

01:14:32.000 It's not true.

01:14:33.000 What?

01:14:33.000 It's fake.

01:14:34.000 What they did, so this has been a controversy for 15 years.

01:14:39.000 Yeah.

01:14:40.000 Women entered the gaming space with Candy Crush. 1.00

01:14:43.000 Phone games.

01:14:44.000 Phone games.

01:14:44.000 Right.

01:14:45.000 Candy Crush principally.

01:14:46.000 Yeah.

01:14:46.000 Not AAA games like First Person Shooters and GTA. Women still do not play those games.

01:14:52.000 So imagine if they said, did you know that the fastest growing demographic in podcasting was young Gen Z women?

01:15:01.000 Timcast IRL better start doing makeup tutorials.

01:15:03.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:15:05.000 Timcast and podcasting in news and culture is still 80% male.

01:15:08.000 Yes.

01:15:09.000 The spaces that have attracted females have been principally sex podcasts. 0.80

01:15:13.000 I'm not being crude.

01:15:15.000 Call her daddy. 0.80

01:15:16.000 Call her daddy. 0.80

01:15:16.000 And so if someone came out and said, women is a fast-growing demographic, quick, turn your news and culture podcast for pro-women, you're going to lose everything. 0.80

01:15:25.000 Yeah.

01:15:25.000 Women play Candy Crush.

01:15:27.000 They don't play GTA. Yep.

01:15:28.000 I don't know, Tim.

01:15:30.000 It's a fact.

01:15:31.000 I'm not making that up.

01:15:32.000 Alright, so I'm basing this off of anecdotal evidence, which is why it's different.

01:15:35.000 And I'm not saying it's the fastest-growing demographic.

01:15:37.000 I won't say that.

01:15:39.000 What I am saying is, I've never seen so many women in my sphere pick up COD, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Grand Theft Auto. 0.98

01:15:50.000 I know the numbers aren't there, but women have a huge influence because they have boobs. 1.00

01:15:55.000 Certainly. 0.87

01:15:56.000 And they are going to draw in a large crowd.

01:15:58.000 Because you see, what do the kick guys do?

01:16:00.000 What do the Twitch guys do?

01:16:03.000 It's 80-20.

01:16:03.000 It is 80-20.

01:16:05.000 But they always bring on the OnlyFans girls to pump up their numbers. 1.00

01:16:09.000 And the women who are playing these games are likely doing it because they're doing streaming content. 1.00

01:16:14.000 Yeah.

01:16:14.000 And they get eyeballs.

01:16:15.000 Correct.

01:16:16.000 But they don't, at the ground level, they're not going to buy the games.

01:16:20.000 No, they're not going to buy the games.

01:16:21.000 So you cater to this demographic, you will lose money.

01:16:24.000 No, I don't think they're catering to the demographic.

01:16:26.000 They absolutely are.

01:16:28.000 You think GTA is?

01:16:29.000 Not just GTA, but tons of games have tried implementing this feminist worldview, and it has bombed their games miserably. 0.99

01:16:35.000 Like what?

01:16:36.000 Like what game?

01:16:37.000 So first, we're talking about an overlap.

01:16:39.000 Because Heavenly Sword was fire.

01:16:41.000 I didn't play that one.

01:16:42.000 That was great.

01:16:43.000 Right now, you've got two big controversies.

01:16:47.000 Dragon Age crashed miserably.

01:16:49.000 A AAA game flopped.

01:16:51.000 Really?

01:16:51.000 And the...

01:16:52.000 It is believed the main reason may be, I think it is personally, that they introduced feminist politics, woke politics into the game, gender ideology. 0.88

01:17:01.000 That's disgusting.

01:17:02.000 And a video went viral that was a two, it was like a three minute cutscene where you had to listen to someone explain why you can't misgender people.

01:17:10.000 And then next thing we know, Dragon Age, which was a massive franchise, bombs.

01:17:14.000 Wow.

01:17:15.000 At the same time, Marvel Rivals is super popular, probably the biggest game right now, and what do the women look like in that game? 0.99

01:17:22.000 They got big booties and big titties. 1.00

01:17:24.000 The men are ridiculously jacked, oversized, and the woke are complaining you can't gender swap the characters. 0.99

01:17:30.000 And the game's like, shut up. 0.95

01:17:32.000 The women, yo, they just rolled out Sue Storm and she may as well be not wearing any clothes. 1.00

01:17:39.000 They basically put a naked woman and painted her white and blue. 1.00

01:17:42.000 And, get this, I don't know why they did this, but Reed Richards has... 0.99

01:17:47.000 Gaps in his junk, in his suit, his unitard, with his pubes sticking out. 0.92

01:17:53.000 I don't know what that's all about. 0.99

01:17:56.000 But the new GTA chick, they twerking on top of the car. 0.97

01:17:59.000 I want to see that.

01:18:01.000 You want to play that?

01:18:03.000 You want to be that character?

01:18:04.000 Is that who you want to be?

01:18:05.000 No.

01:18:06.000 The male power fantasy in GTA is to run around, pull a guy out of his car, steal it, and drive it off a bridge or whatever.

01:18:11.000 And it's the same thing.

01:18:12.000 It's the same type of feminist messaging that's failed in Hollywood where they want to put more women in movies, but the movies that have to make it at the big budget box office stuff have to be spy thrillers. 1.00

01:18:24.000 They have to be superheroes.

01:18:26.000 I don't want to see no woman doing man stuff. 1.00

01:18:28.000 Well, then that's the thing, though.

01:18:29.000 See, the problem is that what they don't understand is they think that by putting the female characters in the male role that they're going to bring in the female audience, not understanding that the women will come for it anyways because they want to see the male in that role too.

01:18:42.000 They're doing this right now.

01:18:43.000 Okay, so they just released the information that Jeff Bezos, after finding out that Barbara Broccoli, after they bought MGM, was like, they came to Barbara Broccoli, who's the one who shepherded James Bond through Eon Productions.

01:18:56.000 They said, here's what we want to do.

01:18:57.000 We want to do a Moneypenny series.

01:18:59.000 We want to do a female James Bond. 1.00

01:19:01.000 And she's like, these people are idiots. 1.00

01:19:04.000 And Jeff Bezos is like, I don't care how much money you have to pay her, pay her so we can get rid of her. 1.00

01:19:09.000 They gave her a billion dollars.

01:19:10.000 They gave her a billion dollars because she understands whatever you want to say about past casting.

01:19:16.000 Men want to be him.

01:19:17.000 Women want to be with him. 1.00

01:19:18.000 And for the last 15 years, they have fought that tooth and nail trying to put women in the roles that men want when they don't understand that women want to see the men there, too.

01:19:27.000 What was the last James Bond where he had a black female No Time to Die? 1.00

01:19:33.000 Because they're trying to set her up to be either as a spinoff movie or a principal character.

01:19:39.000 They keep trying to do this thing where they're like...

01:19:42.000 Women want to be action stars. 1.00

01:19:43.000 No, they do not.

01:19:44.000 And the proof is in the pudding.

01:19:45.000 Look at Marvel's.

01:19:47.000 So Captain Marvel made, what, like a billion dollars?

01:19:50.000 The first one?

01:19:51.000 Not because.

01:19:52.000 It's a strong woman.

01:19:53.000 Because it was right before Endgame.

01:19:54.000 It was right before Endgame, and they said this was going to tie directly into it, and people thought, Marvel movies are good, I'll see this one.

01:20:00.000 And guess what happened in the Marvels, the sequel?

01:20:02.000 It was a massive flop.

01:20:04.000 Made $43 million its opening weekend.

01:20:06.000 It ended up making less than $400 million.

01:20:08.000 It did not recover its budget, as far as I know.

01:20:10.000 Well under its budget.

01:20:11.000 And it's ridiculed.

01:20:13.000 The crazy thing is, they said, the Marvel team was pumping out PR that Brie Larson would replace... 0.84

01:20:20.000 Robert Downey Jr. as the principal character bringing the MCU together.

01:20:24.000 So as we know, for those that watch the Marvel movies...

01:20:27.000 Iron Man really kicked it off.

01:20:29.000 The Hulk movie, people didn't really care for.

01:20:31.000 Except for you had to watch Captain America Brave New World and it ends up being a freaking Hulk sequel.

01:20:36.000 So when Iron Man, the first movie that comes out, Robert Downey-Juny steals the show and makes ridiculous amounts of money.

01:20:42.000 And so all of a sudden, they start creating these movies and Iron Man is the central piece of the set.

01:20:49.000 They said, okay, after Endgame, right?

01:20:52.000 Who do we have after Iron Man?

01:20:54.000 Captain Marvel will take over.

01:20:56.000 So they tried to jam Brie Larson, an unlikable human, like, I'm sorry, like, I mean this with no disrespect, but she's very unlikable, into this action star role that was despised, and they tried.

01:21:08.000 Backlash was immense.

01:21:10.000 Revenue collapsed.

01:21:11.000 Kevin Feige reportedly, last August, started firing all of the woke producers.

01:21:15.000 I'm sure you know more about this than I do.

01:21:16.000 And now Brie Larson's nowhere to be found.

01:21:19.000 She appears passively sometimes in some of these films.

01:21:22.000 She'll make a brief appearance.

01:21:23.000 She was supposed to be Iron Man. 0.99

01:21:25.000 But people did not want to see women doing man stuff.

01:21:28.000 Well, here's my thing.

01:21:30.000 We ain't like Laura Croft.

01:21:33.000 Rare and earlier.

01:21:35.000 Why did we like Laura Croft? 0.98

01:21:37.000 She had big triangle boobs. 1.00

01:21:38.000 This is what I'm saying. 0.99

01:21:40.000 As long as the girl in GTA got a big booty, because a lot of black men played GTA, if she got a big booty and she's got some cassavas, it's gonna be a go. 1.00

01:21:51.000 It's gonna be a go.

01:21:52.000 You are not wrong.

01:21:54.000 Now, if she comes out and she's a stud, we might have a problem. 1.00

01:22:00.000 If she's not hot, That's its own issue in video games, is the way they draw the female characters now. 1.00

01:22:08.000 I go back to the old World of Warcraft days, and there was a viral meme, because everybody knew that you're playing World of Warcraft, there are female characters running around.

01:22:18.000 That's a guy.

01:22:18.000 There's no women playing World of Warcraft.

01:22:20.000 There were some, but it was 80-20.

01:22:22.000 And you'd be on...

01:22:24.000 We used TeamSpeak.

01:22:25.000 What was the other...

01:22:26.000 You guys played?

01:22:27.000 We used TeamSpeak.

01:22:28.000 So we're doing a raid on Courage.

01:22:30.000 We got 40 people.

01:22:31.000 And like...

01:22:32.000 You know, out of 40, 17 are female characters, but we're in team chat and it's all guys. 0.99

01:22:37.000 And the meme that went viral at the time was, if I'm going to stare at an ass all day, it's going to be a girl's. 1.00

01:22:41.000 Correct. 0.99

01:22:42.000 The dudes weren't playing female characters because they wanted to be female warriors.

01:22:47.000 They wanted to see the woman in the bikini running around, bouncing around. 0.97

01:22:52.000 That's why in World of Warcraft and all these games...

01:22:54.000 Your character would defeat the dragon or whatever.

01:22:57.000 And the dragon would drop the guardian's armor of eternal force.

01:23:02.000 And when the man put it on, he's in this ridiculously decked out scale armor.

01:23:06.000 When the woman put it on, it was a bikini. 1.00

01:23:09.000 Same item for a female character was a bikini. 0.98

01:23:12.000 For a man, it was this ridiculous big suit. 0.99

01:23:15.000 Because the guy just wanted to watch naked women run around. 1.00

01:23:17.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:23:18.000 So I think, you know, the GTA characters, you know, you could run and they're going to have the main characters. 0.98

01:23:23.000 She's going to be running around with her ass out. 1.00

01:23:25.000 I mean, her butt out. 1.00

01:23:27.000 I think that's what's going to happen.

01:23:28.000 But I think it's going to be like GTA V where you get to switch between characters.

01:23:32.000 They're all going to have their different role.

01:23:33.000 But I think it's going to be a Bonnie and Clyde thing.

01:23:35.000 And I think that's going to be fun.

01:23:36.000 But basically, when we look at why these games...

01:23:41.000 It was largely feminist politics, largely pushed by women targeting female demographics, and it never worked. 0.92

01:23:48.000 Now, when you look at Marvel Rivals, once again, like, I'll say this, they introduced Sue Storm, and the way they draw superheroes has always been their naked bodies that are colored.

01:23:57.000 And it looks like they're wearing unitards, but they're literally drawing, and this is a well-known fact.

01:24:03.000 Body paint.

01:24:03.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:24:04.000 It's a well-known fact that in comic books, superheroes are typically drawn as nude, but they color the body.

01:24:08.000 They don't give them clothing.

01:24:10.000 They don't give them suits.

01:24:10.000 You see every vein, every muscle.

01:24:12.000 They're basically naked bodies.

01:24:14.000 Oh, I love it.

01:24:18.000 Here's my issue with what I saw online.

01:24:20.000 What I saw online were conservatives saying, oh my god, why is she twerking on the top of a cop car? 1.00

01:24:28.000 And I go, what?

01:24:30.000 That's when I said, that's woke right to me.

01:24:33.000 This is Grand Theft Auto.

01:24:34.000 You ain't been to the strip club in Grand Theft Auto.

01:24:37.000 It's a degenerate game.

01:24:38.000 It's supposed to be degenerate behavior.

01:24:40.000 Wait till you see what else happens.

01:24:42.000 I gotta be honest.

01:24:45.000 I'm gonna play GTA. I never played the story.

01:24:49.000 I absolutely hate that in GTA, I think with GTA 5, you had to do the initial story to get...

01:24:58.000 Threw it so you could actually just run around the city and do whatever you wanted.

01:25:01.000 I hate this story.

01:25:01.000 I don't care.

01:25:02.000 I love this story.

01:25:03.000 I don't care.

01:25:03.000 Let me tell you why I love this story.

01:25:05.000 Because every mission is from a heist movie.

01:25:08.000 So it's like if you...

01:25:09.000 In every game?

01:25:10.000 At least the last one.

01:25:12.000 Yeah.

01:25:12.000 Well, the one was...

01:25:14.000 You play Scarface in...

01:25:16.000 What was that?

01:25:17.000 Vice City, I think it was.

01:25:18.000 Vice City, you're playing Scarface.

01:25:19.000 So I'm like, I'm reliving.

01:25:21.000 Being Scarface.

01:25:22.000 I love that.

01:25:23.000 But the last one, you've got scenes from Italian Job that you relive, right?

01:25:29.000 It's all different heist movies.

01:25:30.000 It's not like they recreate the missions.

01:25:32.000 They steal them directly from movies, and that's what I love about it.

01:25:36.000 I gotta say, here's an article, and this is a clip, apparently, of the character, I guess.

01:25:42.000 I'm so...

01:25:43.000 What's the right word?

01:25:45.000 Put off by the attempt of shoehorning this stuff into games, my tolerance is gone.

01:25:50.000 It's gone.

01:25:51.000 It's zero.

01:25:51.000 So, have you seen the Dragon Age thing?

01:25:54.000 I have not.

01:25:54.000 Okay, let's do this.

01:25:56.000 For those that don't know, Dragon Age Veilguard woke.

01:25:59.000 It's a default search.

01:26:02.000 Google already has it pulled up.

01:26:03.000 This is a AAA video game that bombed.

01:26:07.000 And look at this.

01:26:07.000 They say, this is from the 24th.

01:26:10.000 Veilguard's clumsy, preachy, political messaging does more harm than good.

01:26:13.000 She's not hot. 1.00

01:26:14.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars it costs, too.

01:26:16.000 Do they have the video in here?

01:26:17.000 Here you go.

01:26:18.000 You ready for this one?

01:26:19.000 So I'm going to play this for you.

01:26:20.000 What they're saying now is the game didn't resonate with a large enough audience.

01:26:25.000 I wonder why.

01:26:26.000 Listen to this.

01:26:29.000 It's not expanding, so I'm opening up the next.

01:26:36.000 Let's play it.

01:26:37.000 Bounding that snake's nose.

01:26:38.000 She's still holding the ruby in her other hand.

01:26:41.000 Maker's panties.

01:26:42.000 I was so proud.

01:26:44.000 Oh, um... 1.00

01:26:47.000 Ah, shit. 1.00

01:26:48.000 They. 1.00

01:26:49.000 They're still holding it.

01:26:51.000 Sorry.

01:26:52.000 Good grief.

01:26:52.000 Watch, watch, watch.

01:26:53.000 What are you doing?

01:26:54.000 Pulling a barve.

01:26:55.000 Oh.

01:26:56.000 Okay.

01:26:57.000 A barve?

01:26:59.000 Tradition in the Lords of Fortune.

01:27:00.000 From one of our old members, barve.

01:27:02.000 Good guy, but like most of us, his plans went sideways a lot.

01:27:06.000 Bad blood among your crews, not good for morale, but there's not always time for big drawn-out apologies.

01:27:11.000 So when one of us screws up and we know we've screwed up, we do a quick ten to put it right.

01:27:16.000 Pulling a barve.

01:27:17.000 Pretty sure a three-minute explanation and ten push-ups with an explanation with pulling a barve as a name of it is a long drawn-out apology, but this is two minutes long.

01:27:28.000 Look at this.

01:27:28.000 You are forced to interact with this.

01:27:31.000 Here you go.

01:27:33.000 That's very open-minded.

01:27:35.000 I'm glad the Lords of Fortune have Tarsh's back. 1.00

01:27:38.000 Oh, Tarsh isn't the first non-binary member of the Lords.

01:27:41.000 Oh, my God.

01:27:42.000 No wonder why this was a flop.

01:27:44.000 Oh, brother. 0.96

01:27:47.000 Bastard looked better than I did in a dress or pants. 0.98

01:27:50.000 What?

01:27:50.000 And out of them, too.

01:27:51.000 I let my kids wait in.

01:27:52.000 Look it, look it.

01:27:53.000 Here you go.

01:27:56.000 Any reason you can't just apologize?

01:27:59.000 Sometimes people say, oops, sorry, and hope that fixes it.

01:28:02.000 But they just want to get the whole thing over with.

01:28:05.000 Trust me, I know.

01:28:06.000 But pulling a bath, you sweat a little.

01:28:09.000 Makes you think about it a little more.

01:28:11.000 Shows the other person you mean it.

01:28:13.000 What if they mean it when they say they're sorry, though?

01:28:16.000 And that's the other reason.

01:28:18.000 We don't need to hear the rest of this.

01:28:20.000 Clearly, the developers were intending to make pulling a bar of a thing among people.

01:28:25.000 This game bombed?

01:28:27.000 Look, I... I love Dragon Age.

01:28:29.000 It's a great game.

01:28:30.000 I did not play this one.

01:28:31.000 I will never touch that controller.

01:28:33.000 It's a free game now.

01:28:35.000 So that's the big news.

01:28:36.000 It's been out for only a couple months, and it's available now as a free download for PS Plus.

01:28:40.000 Look, men love games and movies that set you out on adventures.

01:28:45.000 Women love stories where you sit around and talk. 1.00

01:28:48.000 And pull barbs. 1.00

01:28:49.000 And pull barbs. 1.00

01:28:51.000 I wouldn't let my kids play this game.

01:28:53.000 I unplugged the PlayStation after they was playing this.

01:28:56.000 Oops.

01:28:58.000 I remember we were playing, not the last Spider-Man, but the Spider-Man before that.

01:29:04.000 And it was like this extra mission.

01:29:06.000 And then you get the BLM costume. 0.51

01:29:10.000 Because my kids, I brainwash them with the right-wing politics. 0.99

01:29:14.000 So they were like, oh my God, look at the Black Lives Matter on the wall. 0.96

01:29:18.000 Oh my God.

01:29:19.000 I was like, see?

01:29:20.000 Teach them, I said, they'll put the propaganda right in the video games.

01:29:24.000 It's absolutely disgusting. 0.59

01:29:25.000 That's terrible.

01:29:26.000 Show them the Middle Eastern version of that game that doesn't have the pride flags. 0.86

01:29:30.000 Really?

01:29:30.000 Yeah.

01:29:30.000 Yeah, you can't pull that in the Middle East.

01:29:32.000 Well, because it's still from a company that wants to sell things in other regions, right?

01:29:37.000 So they're only politically correct here.

01:29:40.000 So basically, my view is largely this.

01:29:44.000 My tolerance for anything like that, there is some rumors.

01:29:48.000 That they want to do a Bonnie and Clyde style thing, which means it's not going to be a female protagonist.

01:29:52.000 It's going to be one or the other.

01:29:53.000 Right.

01:29:53.000 I don't care.

01:29:54.000 You're going to play as both.

01:29:55.000 I'm not going to buy the game.

01:29:57.000 You're not going to buy this one?

01:29:58.000 No.

01:29:58.000 Why?

01:30:00.000 I'm going to wait a month or two and then just see what happens first because I'm too jaded from...

01:30:06.000 It's not just that they're making it a woman.

01:30:12.000 It's really not that big a deal.

01:30:14.000 I don't trust these games.

01:30:15.000 You get any inkling of, like, they're trying to go in that direction, and I'm going to wait a month.

01:30:19.000 GTA is usually...

01:30:21.000 It's a very different world now.

01:30:23.000 They haven't made a game in a decade.

01:30:24.000 I won the last game 12 years ago.

01:30:26.000 But it's Trump's era now.

01:30:28.000 Yeah, but this wasn't...

01:30:29.000 It was made during the...

01:30:31.000 Well, in the past 10 years.

01:30:32.000 I got faith in Rockstar.

01:30:34.000 I got faith in Rockstar.

01:30:35.000 If you listen to the radio during GTA 5, they were making fun of the woke stuff in GTA 5. You remember, you listen to the radio, they make fun of liberals through the entire game.

01:30:45.000 I'm telling you.

01:30:46.000 So I can only imagine what's going to happen here.

01:30:49.000 I want you to be right.

01:30:50.000 I want you to be right, too.

01:30:51.000 I just think, ten years is a long...

01:30:53.000 When was five made?

01:30:54.000 2013?

01:30:55.000 Yeah, it was a minute.

01:30:56.000 And in that time, ten years, you have a 16-year-old woman, ten years later, she's 26, and she's working at these companies, and these companies are going to be different.

01:31:06.000 Like Bud Light.

01:31:07.000 My only issue is, you know, she's just not that pretty, man. 0.99

01:31:10.000 You know, they could have got AOC to get an AOC face.

01:31:13.000 That's the sign.

01:31:13.000 Look at it.

01:31:15.000 That's the sign.

01:31:16.000 Yeah.

01:31:16.000 Look at it.

01:31:17.000 Okay, I'm going to pull this up for you guys.

01:31:18.000 Yeah, it's a bad sign.

01:31:19.000 Her face is a bad sign.

01:31:21.000 It's a little too thick.

01:31:23.000 Her face is too bulgy.

01:31:25.000 You know, the geometry is off on her face.

01:31:28.000 Let me see if I can find the Sue Storm.

01:31:31.000 I think this is it right here.

01:31:32.000 Looks like she had too many burritos. 1.00

01:31:34.000 She's a gotita.

01:31:34.000 So this is what they did for Marvel Rivals.

01:31:38.000 And the women there are drawn like they're naked. 1.00

01:31:42.000 I'm not...

01:31:43.000 Right.

01:31:43.000 And so the issue is, whenever they start making frumpy women in these games, it's like, I don't trust...

01:31:49.000 If Rockstar was being Rockstar, she would be... 0.93

01:31:54.000 A little bit more over the top.

01:31:55.000 Her arms are big.

01:31:57.000 Her arms are big, man.

01:31:58.000 She's been at Cluckin' Bell too many times. 0.83

01:32:01.000 Your attitude is actually really, really common now.

01:32:04.000 For me, it's the same way.

01:32:05.000 If I start a new show, I tell you all the time, look, I don't have any faith in new media that comes out.

01:32:10.000 So if there's a new show that comes out, it takes about four episodes of me where they have to get it right 100% of the time.

01:32:16.000 If anything sticks out to me as particularly noticeable with over-the-top political messaging, I just turn it off immediately.

01:32:23.000 It's not worth it.

01:32:24.000 Listen, I'm black. 0.98

01:32:24.000 Y'all don't know how bad it is to be black because I can't watch a black show and not run into this stuff. 0.98

01:32:29.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.95

01:32:30.000 I'm sitting around watching Power.

01:32:31.000 Power is one of my favorite shows.

01:32:33.000 The first season of Power is one of my favorite television seasons ever.

01:32:36.000 You cannot go through a season and not get something that's woke. 0.96

01:32:41.000 And I'm like, damn, they even got my boy 50. I didn't watch anything past the original series. 0.88

01:32:47.000 Everything black got something in there that's woke.

01:32:52.000 Introduction to Ghost in that show is one of the greatest introductions to a character ever.

01:32:57.000 What show are you guys talking about?

01:32:58.000 Power with Omari Hardwick and I guess 50 Cent later.

01:33:01.000 Is that a TV show?

01:33:02.000 TV show.

01:33:03.000 50 Cent produced it.

01:33:05.000 Was it Courtney?

01:33:06.000 What was it about?

01:33:06.000 It's about a drug kingpin who runs a nightclub.

01:33:09.000 And it's really, really freaking good.

01:33:11.000 At least that first three or four seasons were really, really freaking good.

01:33:14.000 Gangster.

01:33:15.000 Joseph Sikora plays one of the greatest villains you'll ever see.

01:33:19.000 What's funny about it is Ghost is like this guy.

01:33:23.000 He's a drug kingpin. 0.55

01:33:24.000 He runs a nightclub.

01:33:25.000 But really, he's a dude who's kind of torn between worlds.

01:33:27.000 He wants to go legit.

01:33:29.000 And the whole show is about him kind of dreaming about going legit and not being able to do so.

01:33:35.000 Underworld keeps going.

01:33:36.000 Exactly.

01:33:36.000 But his best friend wants none of it.

01:33:38.000 And actually laughs at him at the idea of ever going legit.

01:33:42.000 And they made the white dude the absolute unrepentant street dude.

01:33:47.000 Yeah.

01:33:47.000 It's crazy.

01:33:48.000 Tommy's pretty scary.

01:33:49.000 Yeah, Tommy's amazing.

01:33:50.000 Everyone should at least watch the first three or four seasons of that show.

01:33:53.000 It's really good. 0.84

01:33:54.000 But you're lucky you're white, man. 1.00

01:33:56.000 White privilege is being able to watch something without wokeness. 0.94

01:34:03.000 That's where we are right now.

01:34:05.000 I mean, not a whole lot, but...

01:34:07.000 So you're saying, wait, you're saying power?

01:34:10.000 It is or is not woke?

01:34:12.000 They have some wokeness.

01:34:14.000 It's not woke, but they slide.

01:34:16.000 It's all like that.

01:34:18.000 I just saw that movie Companion.

01:34:20.000 Have you guys heard of the movie Companion?

01:34:22.000 Heard of it, have not seen it.

01:34:23.000 So I just watched it.

01:34:25.000 The trailer is miserably awful.

01:34:27.000 So it's like I'm on Amazon and I saw that.

01:34:29.000 And the trailer, like the movie's thumbnail, I guess you'd call it, it looks like a guy whispering to a robot woman and his companion.

01:34:38.000 So my assumption was it must be about a guy who has like a fake robot wife or whatever.

01:34:41.000 Then you watch the trailer and the trailer just looks like some weird chick flick drama.

01:34:44.000 And I'm like, I'm watching that.

01:34:45.000 And today I was like, well, you know, we watched everything else.

01:34:48.000 We put it on.

01:34:48.000 It is, in fact, about a guy who has a robot wife.

01:34:50.000 And for some reason, it's a guy and his robot wife and a gay couple. 0.99

01:34:54.000 And I'm like, okay, listen.

01:34:55.000 It's fine.

01:34:58.000 When sometimes there's gay characters in a movie, the problem is every single studio says, hey, we should put a gay couple.

01:35:05.000 We should have two guys hooking up in this film. 1.00

01:35:08.000 And it's like, guys, when you all do it, it's weird that it's 100% of films doing it.

01:35:14.000 So that's the woke stuff, right?

01:35:17.000 Yeah.

01:35:18.000 For whatever reason, they decided they're going to put all of this gay stuff in all these films, and it's just every movie now. 0.89

01:35:24.000 Yeah. 0.78

01:35:24.000 So now I've got to watch white stuff like Tulsa King. 0.78

01:35:27.000 Tulsa King's good too.

01:35:28.000 It's amazing.

01:35:29.000 I would check out Paradise with Sterling K. Brown.

01:35:32.000 Paradise is my, that's my joint.

01:35:34.000 What is that about?

01:35:36.000 Well, the world comes to an end and they have to build a world underground and they select 25,000 people to go live underground.

01:35:44.000 Remember how Truman Show had that fake world?

01:35:47.000 It's kind of like Wayward Pines meets The Truman Show.

01:35:51.000 Sterling K. Brown is probably one of the best actors working today.

01:35:53.000 But even in that, there's a little bit of like...

01:35:56.000 The white characters are all kind of like vile and they have layers. 1.00

01:36:01.000 But Sterling K. Brown isn't really allowed to do that. 0.96

01:36:04.000 He has to kind of be perfect all the time because they don't want to risk any of the black characters seeming like they could be bad guys. 1.00

01:36:10.000 So they're all what the term in culture is soulful saints, meaning they can't have any flaws whatsoever.

01:36:17.000 And it does him a disservice because he doesn't get to stretch his legs as an actor while all the other characters get to be like his best friend.

01:36:25.000 They think he's a bad guy.

01:36:26.000 He is a bad guy.

01:36:27.000 You're even suspecting him.

01:36:28.000 Yeah, like the end of the episode, they're like, you can't trust Billy.

01:36:32.000 Billy, and he's just got the meanest face you've ever seen in an entire life.

01:36:35.000 Ends up he's flawed, but he's still friends with him.

01:36:39.000 He gets layers, but the other characters don't because the writers are terrified to write characters that are not white in anything other than perfect.

01:36:47.000 That's what I'm saying.

01:36:48.000 They should hire me.

01:36:49.000 I can't write it, but I'll be like, hey, fix this.

01:36:52.000 What I don't understand in all of these things is why they haven't figured it out yet, but we all have.

01:36:59.000 It's like, hey, I got an idea.

01:37:00.000 Remember Iron Man 1?

01:37:02.000 You made a billion dollars off it and launched this big multi-billion dollar franchise we all loved?

01:37:05.000 Now look at what you're making with Captain America Brave New World.

01:37:08.000 Can you now see the difference?

01:37:10.000 Even if they figured it out, like, a year ago?

01:37:13.000 They've still got all this stuff that's been in production for more years.

01:37:15.000 It's going to take years.

01:37:16.000 It's going to take time for it to actually filter out into society.

01:37:20.000 I imagine there are a lot of people in Hollywood and in the entertainment industry that are like, look, this isn't good.

01:37:27.000 This is not working.

01:37:28.000 We need to change right now, immediately.

01:37:31.000 We need to do what we can to patch up the things that have not been released yet that are just starting production.

01:37:36.000 We need to start production on things that do not focus on these type of topics.

01:37:41.000 What's going to happen?

01:37:42.000 What's going to happen is we're going to start moving to foreign films, like the platform, right?

01:37:45.000 Yep.

01:37:47.000 I thought that was phenomenal.

01:37:48.000 I didn't see that one.

01:37:49.000 What was that one about?

01:37:52.000 How do you even describe the platform?

01:37:54.000 So basically, there's this platform, right?

01:37:56.000 So let's say you've done something wrong.

01:37:58.000 Like, what's the thing with the game?

01:38:02.000 Squid Games, right?

01:38:04.000 It's like Squid Games, but there's this platform, and then basically you have, let's say, Floor 1 and then Floor 100. And everybody gets to have their favorite food added to this platform.

01:38:14.000 So as it gets to the bottom, naturally, by the time it gets to the bottom, it ain't nothing but bones.

01:38:17.000 But then there's like this lottery, and it shuffles, so you get put on a different platform, and then it gets really gory.

01:38:24.000 Are people living on the platform or something?

01:38:27.000 Yeah, it's like jail.

01:38:28.000 Oh, I see.

01:38:29.000 So the platform low is like, you got like two minutes, you got to eat what you can.

01:38:33.000 Or you get crushed?

01:38:35.000 People get crushed.

01:38:36.000 People get tossed over.

01:38:37.000 It gets really bloody and gory, right?

01:38:40.000 My point is, there's a lot of foreign writing.

01:38:43.000 For example, Black Mirror.

01:38:45.000 Black Mirror was great season one and two because they had the foreign writers.

01:38:51.000 As soon as they passed it on to Netflix and sold it off, you could tell where the writers changed.

01:38:55.000 They're not bogged down with the same identity politics that we are here in America.

01:38:58.000 But I'll tell you this, Squid Games 2 sucked and was woke.

01:39:01.000 I didn't watch it. 0.79

01:39:02.000 I refused.

01:39:03.000 I heard you and other people say it.

01:39:06.000 Don't watch it.

01:39:07.000 Don't watch it.

01:39:08.000 I was skipping through a lot of it.

01:39:11.000 So basically what they did was they said, we have an idea.

01:39:15.000 The first, I would say like the beginning is really good.

01:39:19.000 Okay.

01:39:20.000 And then the first episode is like starts off kind of slow, gets a little good, gets a little bad.

01:39:27.000 Second episode is a little good and then just falls completely off and there's no ending.

01:39:29.000 It's a fake season.

01:39:32.000 It's where they draw it out as long as possible and then it ends without any conclusion to anything happening.

01:39:37.000 So, nothing ends.

01:39:39.000 And they have a trans character in the show who is invincible and can do no wrong and saves everybody.

01:39:45.000 And they spend probably like, I don't know, a decent amount of the show explaining why it's...

01:39:51.000 So it starts with an old woman in the Squid Games seeing the trans person and getting mad. 0.99

01:39:56.000 And then they start explaining to you why it's okay to be trans.

01:39:58.000 Then they have the trans person save a bunch of people and be the hero. 0.73

01:40:01.000 And I'm like, dude, I don't care if you have a trans person in the show, but you're beating me in the face with the bag of sweet Valencia oranges over here, man. 1.00

01:40:12.000 I wouldn't have made it through the first episode, man.

01:40:14.000 It's not the first episode, though.

01:40:15.000 It's like by episode three.

01:40:17.000 Yeah.

01:40:18.000 So I'll give you a partial spoiler, right?

01:40:20.000 Main character dude from the first one.

01:40:23.000 Some stuff happens.

01:40:24.000 He finds himself back in the game.

01:40:25.000 You'd see that through the trailer.

01:40:26.000 So the first episode, he's not in the game.

01:40:27.000 Then he's in the game.

01:40:28.000 And in the game, they introduce new characters.

01:40:31.000 There's an old woman, and she's like, why does that man look like a woman? 0.99

01:40:34.000 And then everyone's like, you can't say that.

01:40:35.000 That person is transgender.

01:40:37.000 Then they end up teaming up with a trans person.

01:40:39.000 Then during the games, the trans person saves the day by being able to help people perform tasks they couldn't perform. 0.95

01:40:44.000 And it is ham-fisted and punching you in the face over and over again.

01:40:48.000 Screaming, empathize with this person.

01:40:50.000 They're a good person.

01:40:51.000 And then it just stops.

01:40:53.000 The show just ends.

01:40:55.000 I'm going to tell you this.

01:40:56.000 You watch the show.

01:40:57.000 There's probably one episode's worth of story over eight episodes.

01:41:01.000 And then it just ends without resolving anything.

01:41:03.000 So actually, imagine you have an hour-long show.

01:41:06.000 It reaches the end of act two.

01:41:09.000 You're approaching the climax.

01:41:10.000 And then right before the climax of the show, it ends.

01:41:16.000 It rolls credits.

01:41:17.000 And that's it.

01:41:18.000 Now, normally, you'd be like, let's watch the next episode.

01:41:21.000 Now, imagine the whole show was that.

01:41:23.000 And you're basically waiting.

01:41:25.000 Boring, boring, boring, boring, boring, boring.

01:41:27.000 Oh man, something's happening!

01:41:29.000 And then the season's over, and you're like, but nothing happened.

01:41:32.000 That's Squid Game. 0.99

01:41:33.000 That's terrible.

01:41:34.000 So pissed.

01:41:35.000 That is one of the reasons that streaming is struggling.

01:41:37.000 TV was better when it was 22 episodes a year, and you got a bunch of filler episodes.

01:41:41.000 Now every episode is filler, and it's eight episodes with really about one episode's worth of story that they drag out.

01:41:47.000 Even Paradise moves a little slow.

01:41:49.000 But hold on, hold on.

01:41:50.000 Paradise does move a little slow.

01:41:51.000 The first Squid Game was good.

01:41:53.000 It was great.

01:41:54.000 And they had something with season two.

01:41:57.000 But instead of saying, hey, let's finish our story in eight episodes, they said, let's take...

01:42:02.000 Okay, so I imagine they have a story to fill eight episodes.

01:42:07.000 They probably wrote the treatments, episode one, two, three, four.

01:42:11.000 By episode three, they said, stop.

01:42:14.000 Don't use any of the remaining treatments we have and end the season on episode three.

01:42:18.000 But we need eight episodes.

01:42:19.000 Stretch episode three out to eight episodes.

01:42:21.000 Okay.

01:42:22.000 And so that's basically what it is.

01:42:24.000 And then they say, wait, wait, but don't end episode three because episode three ends with a cliffhanger.

01:42:28.000 It's supposed to go in episode four, right?

01:42:29.000 So it just basically you get five episodes where, I'm going to tell you, probably a half an hour of each episode is people sitting in the waiting room talking.

01:42:38.000 I'm not kidding.

01:42:39.000 Yep.

01:42:40.000 So you know how in Squid Games they have the big waiting room with the bunk beds?

01:42:42.000 Yeah.

01:42:43.000 Half of each episode is people just hanging out talking.

01:42:45.000 And it's cheaper to do that too.

01:42:46.000 And in a couple of episodes, half of it is talking about why it's good to be trans.

01:42:51.000 I bet you if you look it up, Netflix probably bought the rights from the writers and then took it over.

01:42:57.000 I guarantee if you look it up, that's probably what happened.

01:42:59.000 Maybe because the original guy who made it was like, here's my story, bye.

01:43:02.000 And they said, how can we make more money off it?

01:43:04.000 Right.

01:43:05.000 Because that's what Netflix does.

01:43:06.000 They see something that's great, a series that's got a brand, and they're like, we can milk this.

01:43:10.000 And the dude's like, I only wrote one season.

01:43:14.000 Here's the problem, though, is Netflix is the most dominant of those streamers, and it's not even close.

01:43:18.000 Not even close.

01:43:20.000 Seven out of the ten top shows every week are consistently Netflix shows.

01:43:24.000 Here's the other thing.

01:43:25.000 I think Severance is awful, and I couldn't get past the first episode.

01:43:28.000 In fact, when he walked for two minutes, I turned it off.

01:43:30.000 Imagine watching Apple TV. I know, seriously.

01:43:33.000 But people say Severance is great. 1.00

01:43:34.000 Okay, Lost is evil garbage, and From is evil garbage. 0.98

01:43:38.000 And then I was told that Severance is very much like Lost and From all the same, and I said, I don't watch those fake shows. 0.99

01:43:43.000 These are fake shows, and I mean it.

01:43:45.000 The way a fake show works, like, anybody who's watched Lost knows it's a fake show.

01:43:49.000 And if you've watched from...

01:43:50.000 What's a fake show?

01:43:51.000 The way it works is, we will be in...

01:43:56.000 Okay, Ryder says, give me a nondescript location.

01:43:59.000 How about, it's a podcast studio and the doors are all closed.

01:44:02.000 Okay, why are they there?

01:44:03.000 We don't know.

01:44:04.000 It's called the Mystery Box.

01:44:06.000 That's James, that's J.J. Abrams.

01:44:08.000 Okay, now, they're there.

01:44:09.000 So what happens when there's a place?

01:44:11.000 Well, clearly they want to get out, right?

01:44:12.000 Yes, and they're hungry.

01:44:13.000 We're going to need some kind of shock content by the end of the first episode.

01:44:18.000 Otherwise, people will be bored and won't come back.

01:44:19.000 Okay, so in the first episode, they're trapped in a podcast studio.

01:44:22.000 The doors won't open.

01:44:23.000 Nobody remembers how they got there.

01:44:24.000 And they start arguing with each other because they're hungry and there's nowhere to go bathroom.

01:44:28.000 So then you have some conflict there.

01:44:30.000 And then what we're going to do is at the end of the episode, we're going to have a loud roar shake the building.

01:44:36.000 And then all of a sudden, you're going to hear banging on the door and scratching.

01:44:39.000 And then the characters look at each other.

01:44:41.000 The show ends.

01:44:42.000 Show ends.

01:44:43.000 Right.

01:44:44.000 Okay.

01:44:44.000 Next episode starts, and you hear the door.

01:44:47.000 The door breaks open.

01:44:49.000 And then splinters go flying.

01:44:50.000 You're like, whoa, what happened?

01:44:51.000 And then there's nothing there.

01:44:53.000 Nobody's there.

01:44:54.000 So basically, fake shows, the way they work is, writers will write probably one page and say, have them fight with each other, and then only at the last minute...

01:45:03.000 I don't know.

01:45:04.000 A dragon screams and you hear a screech.

01:45:07.000 And then the next episode, they go, okay, so why was the dragon screeching?

01:45:11.000 The dragon is underground?

01:45:14.000 Okay, great.

01:45:15.000 Let's start that.

01:45:15.000 And then at the end of this episode, what happens?

01:45:18.000 At the end of this episode, lava bursts from the floor.

01:45:23.000 Okay, and the episode ends.

01:45:25.000 That's how From is.

01:45:26.000 You ever watch From?

01:45:27.000 No.

01:45:27.000 And what I was told was it's kind of how Severance is as well, but I stopped watching Severance because it started doing this, so I turned it off.

01:45:33.000 It shows where they clearly haven't written it.

01:45:36.000 They say, give us a premise of people trapped, and then at the end of every episode, insert a random thing.

01:45:43.000 So, famously, from, the guy finds a lighthouse, and then he hears a music box, and then he turns around, and there's a music box on the ground, and he's shaking, and the episode ends.

01:45:55.000 Nothing happened!

01:45:56.000 But that's a fake show, right?

01:45:58.000 Nothing's happening.

01:45:59.000 Everybody knows that Alias is J.J. Abrams' best work.

01:46:03.000 We're going to go to Super Chats.

01:46:04.000 Smash the like button.

01:46:05.000 Share the show with everyone.

01:46:06.000 You know, explain to me why you think Severance is a good show because I turned it on and then, I don't know the actor's name, but he walked through a hall for a minute and a half.

01:46:14.000 I looked at Allison and she looked at me.

01:46:15.000 We shrugged and we turned it off.

01:46:17.000 No, I'm not kidding.

01:46:18.000 You watched it, right?

01:46:19.000 I just, I make fun of Apple TV constantly.

01:46:21.000 I don't have a monocle.

01:46:23.000 I'm not highbrow enough to watch Apple TV. People apparently love those shows.

01:46:27.000 They love Lost.

01:46:27.000 They love From.

01:46:28.000 They love Severance.

01:46:29.000 And I don't know how much Severance is like that because as soon as I get an inkling they're doing that, I stop watching it.

01:46:34.000 So I'm off.

01:46:36.000 Alright, here we go.

01:46:37.000 We're going to grab Super Chats and Rumble Rants from y'all.

01:46:40.000 Shane H. Wilder says, Happy Friday, guys.

01:46:42.000 Brett has asked everyone to remember to help the Brett Dasvick Foundation to save the gongo. 0.96

01:46:48.000 He is passionate about this.

01:46:50.000 Yes.

01:46:51.000 I told him about it last night.

01:46:53.000 Yeah, you have to explain.

01:46:55.000 We were making fun of the people when you're complaining about something online.

01:46:58.000 Like, how can you care about this issue when there's a genocide going on in Gaza or a femicide going on in the Congo?

01:47:05.000 And I screwed it up and I said femigenocide in the Congo. 0.51

01:47:10.000 Femigenocide. 1.00

01:47:10.000 I think I said genocide in the Congo, but we'll just say it's a femigenocide. 1.00

01:47:14.000 It's my favorite meme in a long time.

01:47:16.000 Yeah, it's very good.

01:47:17.000 We can save them, guys.

01:47:19.000 Nixon says, Tim, bring back the best docu-series ever made, K-O-T-R. Where there's a will, there's a way, good sir. 0.97

01:47:24.000 Are you saying King of the Road?

01:47:26.000 Knights of the Old Republic? 0.93

01:47:27.000 The first thing I thought was Knights of the Old Republic, but that's K-T-O-R. Yes. 1.00

01:47:32.000 Wait.

01:47:33.000 Knights of... 1.00

01:47:34.000 No, it's...

01:47:34.000 It is K-T-O-R because it's KOTOR. It's K-O-T-O-R. Or it could be King of the Ring.

01:47:40.000 Yeah.

01:47:41.000 King of the Road was a skateboard thing where they had, like...

01:47:45.000 A handful of teams were each given tasks they had to perform and then told to go on this road trip and they'd film themselves trying to do things where it would be like...

01:47:52.000 Funded it.

01:47:52.000 That sounds awesome.

01:47:53.000 I think these people didn't get paid a lot of money.

01:47:55.000 Oh.

01:47:56.000 Yeah.

01:47:56.000 But it would be like you have a list, a to-do list on your trip and it's, you know...

01:48:01.000 That's not rule rules?

01:48:02.000 No.

01:48:03.000 King of the Road was like skateboarders being told you've got to tray flip a tense there.

01:48:07.000 You've got to kick flip front board. 0.99

01:48:08.000 Oh, okay.

01:48:09.000 There was a skate contest during COVID where everybody basically got tasks.

01:48:14.000 They had to go and film and then make edits.

01:48:16.000 Yeah, I remember Road Rules.

01:48:17.000 Oh, that was great, man.

01:48:20.000 Real World and Road Rules.

01:48:21.000 That was the beginning of reality TV. Absolutely.

01:48:22.000 Kenneth Hart says, Tim, didn't mean to put you on the spot.

01:48:25.000 PCC is sort of becoming its own subculture.

01:48:28.000 Went looking for a podcast while you're on Christmas break.

01:48:30.000 Figured the audio wouldn't suck.

01:48:32.000 Now I listen daily.

01:48:32.000 You should listen to Pop Culture Crisis.

01:48:34.000 Monday through Friday, guys, at 3 p.m.

01:48:37.000 Eastern.

01:48:37.000 What are you doing?

01:48:38.000 You're at work.

01:48:38.000 You're probably bored.

01:48:39.000 Put one headphone in and watch.

01:48:41.000 Come on.

01:48:43.000 PopCultureCrisis.com Yes.

01:48:45.000 You asked me that one time.

01:48:46.000 I'm like, I have no idea.

01:48:48.000 Because you were like youtube.com slash popculturecrisis and I was like, or popculturecrisis.com.

01:48:52.000 Or go to timcast.com and you can find it on there as well.

01:48:55.000 Yeah, if you go to timcast.com at 3 o'clock, it's fine.

01:48:58.000 What do we have here?

01:48:59.000 Polly Puree says, Tim is right about Obama.

01:49:01.000 Obama was as tough on illegals as Trump.

01:49:03.000 Obama didn't have the big mess that old Joe had.

01:49:06.000 Deporter-in-chief.

01:49:07.000 He wasn't as tough, but he was the deporter-in-chief, people called him.

01:49:11.000 Yeah, and then Joe came in and was like, open the door!

01:49:14.000 Surge the border.

01:49:16.000 Jason Dixon says, Tim, great guest idea.

01:49:18.000 See Noski with Quiet Part Out Loud podcast.

01:49:20.000 From your Discord, he started from here, from your community.

01:49:25.000 Join TimCast.com.

01:49:26.000 Indeed.

01:49:27.000 And we are actually trying to find a way when we will have him booked and in the schedule.

01:49:32.000 That's awesome.

01:49:32.000 We had Romination on.

01:49:34.000 Congratulations.

01:49:35.000 For those that don't know, timcast.com.

01:49:38.000 You click join us.

01:49:39.000 Then there's the Discord server.

01:49:41.000 You sign up.

01:49:41.000 You're in this community.

01:49:42.000 20,000 plus individuals all hanging out.

01:49:44.000 And we've had a handful of people launch podcasts in the server because everybody's there hanging out already.

01:49:50.000 Imagine this.

01:49:50.000 You go on the server and you're like, I'm going to start a show and there's 20,000 people just listening to your show right away.

01:49:54.000 It's the coolest thing ever.

01:49:55.000 Whenever they do the post show, I would go in and spam Fetterman 2028. Oh, there you go.

01:50:03.000 Let's see.

01:50:03.000 What have we here?

01:50:04.000 Down and out Nashville says, Congratulations, Tim.

01:50:06.000 Great job on family.

01:50:07.000 I've got one daughter and four beautiful grandkids.

01:50:10.000 Everything else in life is just a bonus.

01:50:12.000 Wow!

01:50:12.000 That's based.

01:50:13.000 Very cool.

01:50:15.000 Let's see what we got in the old rumble rants.

01:50:18.000 What are y'all saying over here?

01:50:21.000 All right.

01:50:22.000 Fader says, how many wins are the Denver Broncos getting in the 2025 season?

01:50:26.000 And is there an ETA on Timcast Sports?

01:50:28.000 Can you get Joy Reid to host?

01:50:30.000 I think one of the easiest things we can do is actually Saturdays to start with Chuck and Kellen and, I don't know, maybe some other people, and do a sports show.

01:50:41.000 Ideally, we would do something every single day.

01:50:44.000 We've got to figure out the space for it.

01:50:45.000 Yeah.

01:50:46.000 We've got to put up a space to do it.

01:50:48.000 Put it in one of the RVs.

01:50:49.000 Yeah, well, we were talking, because we have the two trailers that are set up to be mobile studios.

01:50:53.000 The problem is the, like, AC insulation.

01:50:56.000 In the summer, it's insane.

01:50:57.000 Right, and bathrooms, and so we could, you know, we could figure something out.

01:51:04.000 All right, Evan for USS, did y'all see Cash talk about the U.S. Army soldiers stealing U.S. intelligence and how they'll face justice?

01:51:10.000 I did.

01:51:12.000 Yo, Cash is boost.

01:51:13.000 You heard this?

01:51:14.000 Mm-mm.

01:51:14.000 Yeah.

01:51:14.000 He announced that they arrested two dudes who were selling secrets.

01:51:17.000 Mm.

01:51:18.000 He's getting the business.

01:51:19.000 Yep.

01:51:20.000 Jammy Brocodile says, hate playing politics, but I think Trump should sit on the Chauvin verdict till later in the term.

01:51:26.000 Doing it now will only keep the racist BS going. 0.77

01:51:28.000 But let's get a pardon for Jammy and save the brocodile.

01:51:32.000 Okay.

01:51:33.000 That's a real hard one to get people politics.

01:51:35.000 Yes.

01:51:36.000 Yeah.

01:51:38.000 All right.

01:51:39.000 Let's see what else we have here.

01:51:41.000 We'll pull up one of these super chits. 0.98

01:51:44.000 Oh, what is this?

01:51:45.000 What is this?

01:51:46.000 Gandalf the Bay says, Gavin ends his term, endorses Kamala for governor.

01:51:50.000 Gavin leads a new podcast, grows new ideas, runs in 2028. He is gunning for the head of the party.

01:51:55.000 Indeed he is.

01:51:56.000 Yep.

01:51:58.000 Yeah.

01:51:59.000 Hotel Llama says, should we email YouTube list of channels doing illegal ads now so they don't get caught before it's too late?

01:52:07.000 There are so many channels that are doing ads that are illegal or in violation of YouTube's rules.

01:52:12.000 I'm not going to get into it, but yo, I tell you this every day.

01:52:16.000 I have ad salespeople will be like, we've got this sponsor who wants to buy that spot.

01:52:20.000 And then I say, awesome.

01:52:22.000 Let me check the policies and procedures of YouTube and our other distribution platforms.

01:52:28.000 And then I come back and say, that ad is an instant strike on YouTube.

01:52:32.000 You can't sell that product on YouTube.

01:52:34.000 And they go, but everyone else does.

01:52:37.000 Yeah.

01:52:38.000 So the funny thing is, like, even knives.

01:52:40.000 We had a company super cool.

01:52:42.000 It's a kitchen knife set.

01:52:43.000 Yeah, you ain't doing that.

01:52:45.000 YouTube's rules around knives are something to the effect of, like, it's fine to advocate to do ad reads for kitchen utensils so long as they're not weapons.

01:52:55.000 Good luck.

01:52:55.000 YouTube's going to be like, we got you.

01:52:57.000 Yeah.

01:52:58.000 And they'll make some argument.

01:52:59.000 They'll make it up.

01:53:00.000 But the crazy thing is, so what happened to me was I did some ad reads.

01:53:07.000 10 years ago for what I consider to be normal and legal products.

01:53:12.000 Got two videos taken down but only one strike.

01:53:16.000 I then appealed to YouTube and they ignored me.

01:53:20.000 So I went to Google directly.

01:53:22.000 The Google rep said they couldn't find anything in the video that actually broke any of you.

01:53:27.000 Check this out.

01:53:28.000 The Google rep says, nothing in your video violates the YouTube guidelines.

01:53:32.000 And I said, so can you tell me why I got a strike?

01:53:36.000 And they said, We're not entirely sure.

01:53:38.000 Give me a minute.

01:53:39.000 Ten minutes later, they said, we've removed the strike from your channel and restored the video with a smiley face.

01:53:45.000 We're sorry this happened to you.

01:53:46.000 And I said, thank you so much.

01:53:48.000 So what I did was I went to YouTube Help.

01:53:50.000 You find your way through to chat and you get a rep.

01:53:53.000 And what happened was, I learned this later from my YouTube rep.

01:53:58.000 I immediately deleted the videos and they told me, your videos didn't, those strikes were real.

01:54:05.000 They should have stayed on your channel.

01:54:07.000 That strike was real.

01:54:08.000 It should have stayed on your channel.

01:54:09.000 The videos should have remained suspended.

01:54:13.000 The reason why the rep didn't know what was going on is because they thought this is a YouTube strike violating YouTube's rules.

01:54:20.000 And what they didn't realize is that YouTube strikes can be applied based on AdWords rules.

01:54:26.000 So Google AdWords has...

01:54:33.000 To which I responded, you mean to tell me that even though I looked at all the rules and double-checked to make sure everything I'm saying is totally fine, I can still get a strike because I didn't know there were extra rules based on ad reads?

01:54:48.000 And they said yes.

01:54:51.000 So since then, I have been like...

01:54:53.000 Well, okay.

01:54:54.000 Now that I know that, YouTube has advertising rules that apply to a YouTube, to a podcast, whatever.

01:55:00.000 You're on YouTube.

01:55:01.000 YouTube ad rules are like no guns.

01:55:03.000 You cannot advertise guns.

01:55:05.000 You cannot advertise inhalants of any kind.

01:55:07.000 Those things.

01:55:08.000 So that means no shouting out these brands.

01:55:11.000 No shouting them out or anything like that.

01:55:13.000 Those aren't listed in YouTube's rules.

01:55:15.000 YouTube does have rules like you can't have guns on camera.

01:55:18.000 I'm sorry.

01:55:19.000 YouTube's rules are no live streaming of guns ever.

01:55:22.000 And gun content must be in approved locations like gun shops and ranges.

01:55:27.000 Wait, what if you've got guns in your background?

01:55:28.000 That's fine.

01:55:29.000 You can't touch them.

01:55:30.000 Okay.

01:55:30.000 Decorative guns are fine.

01:55:32.000 You cannot advertise them, but the rules on advertising are ad rules, not YouTube guideline rules.

01:55:38.000 So it may have changed.

01:55:40.000 They may have overlapped them.

01:55:41.000 But I do know that if you go to ad rules, you will find insane.

01:55:46.000 It is an encyclopedia of rules.

01:55:49.000 Because there's so many rules and regulations on various products that here's another thing for you.

01:55:56.000 If it's illegal federally, it's a bannable offense on YouTube.

01:56:00.000 Doesn't matter what your state says.

01:56:01.000 Just something people should understand.

01:56:02.000 So when the feds say you cannot sell pharmaceutical drugs and you got a bunch of these independent anti-establishment guys doing ads for pharmaceutical drugs and they are, they're going to get banned.

01:56:16.000 Yep.

01:56:17.000 And you can just Google it.

01:56:18.000 I'm not going to...

01:56:19.000 Everybody go ahead, type it in your calendar.

01:56:22.000 I don't want to put it in the spot for one reason.

01:56:24.000 You say the name of the individual who has done something like this...

01:56:26.000 And they're going to say you targeted, you attacked.

01:56:28.000 No, the left is going to immediately bombard and go after those channels.

01:56:31.000 Oh yeah, that's true.

01:56:32.000 So, I'm saying this right now, more generally speaking, because the people who are out there are like, I've talked to people, I've told them.

01:56:40.000 March 7th, Timcast called it, Mark your calendars, listeners.

01:56:43.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

01:56:44.000 Maybe it gets overlooked completely.

01:56:45.000 But again, I'm going to say this.

01:56:47.000 When Dr. Malone was leaving, and I hope he doesn't mind he mentions, I mentioned something we said, you know, as we were leaving.

01:56:53.000 But I explained to him, like, there's a lot of channels that are doing ad reads for prescription drugs.

01:56:57.000 And he said, I know, I can't believe the FDA hasn't gone after them for this.

01:57:02.000 And I was like, I don't think Trump's FDA will.

01:57:04.000 I think YouTube will, under the guise of, the FDA says that you're not allowed to do this.

01:57:09.000 And the thing is, they could let it accumulate.

01:57:13.000 Exactly.

01:57:17.000 Or, to elaborate on what you're saying, you'll get one strike and be suspended for a week.

01:57:24.000 You'll come back for a week or two.

01:57:25.000 You'll get a second strike and be gone for two weeks.

01:57:27.000 Then they'll wait for one strike to go away within three months and then keep hitting you, reducing your content output by, let's just say it's 8%, but that's the math game they're playing.

01:57:39.000 People who are pro-Trump and anti-establishment, We need to suppress them by 7% and boost liberals by 7% so that everybody flows in one direction.

01:57:49.000 And then they avoid the ban problem.

01:57:51.000 You ban someone, you create a massive PR campaign, lawsuits, conflict, legal challenges, suppress them, and you effectively do the same thing.

01:58:01.000 So instead of banning one big person like Alex Jones, they would have been better off lightly suppressing 10 channels.

01:58:09.000 By 10% instead of one channel by 100%.

01:58:12.000 They learned that lesson.

01:58:13.000 It's coming.

01:58:14.000 It's coming.

01:58:16.000 Yep.

01:58:17.000 Alright.

01:58:18.000 Maybe I'm wrong.

01:58:19.000 Maybe it's ignored.

01:58:19.000 I don't think I'm wrong, though.

01:58:21.000 Trent Jones says, PCC will hit 800 episodes soon.

01:58:24.000 Everyone should tune in because Brett and Mary will be holding a telethon for the Gongo people being femigenocided. 1.00

01:58:30.000 Okay, now they're scheduling my shows for me.

01:58:32.000 I said none of this.

01:58:33.000 But we do have episode 800 coming up.

01:58:35.000 We just finished 792 today.

01:58:38.000 Geez.

01:58:38.000 That's crazy.

01:58:40.000 It might be a marathon for the gongo people. 1.00

01:58:43.000 Could be.

01:58:44.000 Could be.

01:58:45.000 Sterling Wilson says, YouTube can nuke conservatives, but wouldn't that force people to use Rumble?

01:58:50.000 YouTube alphabet stock crashes and Rumble skyrockets to the moon.

01:58:53.000 No, that's wrong.

01:58:54.000 Now, I will say, Rumble stock will go up if more people start using it for these reasons.

01:59:01.000 So, if there's a prominent...

01:59:03.000 They got two and a half million subs, and they get banned on YouTube.

01:59:06.000 They're absolutely going to be on Rumble, and that's really, really good for Rumble, but it's still an attempt to cut off an audience.

01:59:11.000 I will stress this to all of you.

01:59:14.000 We are live on Rumble and on YouTube, and I guarantee you 80% of the people who watch the show had no idea.

01:59:23.000 Even though we say every day, subscribe to Rumble Premium.

01:59:26.000 So there are probably people who...

01:59:29.000 Don't understand why the Uncensored show isn't on TimCast.com anymore.

01:59:33.000 I am not disparaging people.

01:59:35.000 I'm saying most people don't get the memo because they watch the show for the content, not for the advertisements or the plugs.

01:59:42.000 So they'll skip ahead when the show starts, ignore the plugs, listen to us talk, say I love this show, and then end when we get super chats and say, you know, that's fine.

01:59:50.000 They read super chats.

01:59:51.000 I'm out.

01:59:52.000 And then they don't realize we're on other platforms.

01:59:54.000 If YouTube nukes this show, they're going to say, what happened?

01:59:57.000 It's gone.

01:59:57.000 And then they're going to be scrolling through YouTube.

01:59:59.000 It won't pop up.

01:59:59.000 And they'll click something else.

02:00:01.000 That's the way it works.

02:00:03.000 All right, everybody.

02:00:03.000 If you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button?

02:00:05.000 Share the show with everyone you know.

02:00:07.000 Join us at Rumble Premium.

02:00:09.000 Go to timcastpremium.com.

02:00:10.000 It'll reject you right to Rumble to use promo code TIM10. Sign up.

02:00:15.000 Rumble has to win.

02:00:16.000 Because for everything I've described, we need to be building these platforms now.

02:00:21.000 And Rumble is a premier video podcasting platform.

02:00:25.000 If you're launching a video podcast, good luck on YouTube.

02:00:29.000 You're not going to get monetized.

02:00:30.000 You're likely going to get banned.

02:00:31.000 That's the reality.

02:00:32.000 Good luck on Spotify.

02:00:33.000 Spotify is not bad, but their reach is very, very low.

02:00:38.000 Start on Rumble and you're going to start off with substantially higher viewership.

02:00:41.000 I'll put it this way.

02:00:42.000 We've been on Spotify for years.

02:00:45.000 We got like 30,000 views per Spotify video.

02:00:51.000 On Rumble, we get 300. And we just started.

02:00:54.000 So it's 10x.

02:00:56.000 Massive.

02:00:57.000 And Rumble is growing.

02:00:59.000 So the opportunity now is to go with the platforms.

02:01:02.000 The train is leaving the station.

02:01:05.000 You're trying to play catch-up on YouTube.

02:01:06.000 Good luck.

02:01:07.000 You're trying to play catch-up on Spotify.
